The announcement of sequels to the Generation I core series titles breathed new life into the PokéGods fandom as new games meant that more species of Pokémon would be added. This lead to speculation as to what Pokémon are to be expected in the new games, and as official artwork was released, the hype increased. | The announcement of sequels to the Generation I core series titles breathed new life into the PokéGods fandom as new games meant that more species of Pokémon would be added.

The most notable PokéGod that arose from the months predating Gold and Silver is Pikablu. Official artwork of several new Pokémon was released in Japan and found its way to the States, one of which being a blue, rodent-like Pokémon that bore a strong resemblance to {{bp|Pikachu}}. Because of this, the fandom named it Pikablu ([[Gotta Meme 'em All: Genetics and Smugleaf|Sound familiar?]]). It was speculated to be an evolution to Pikachu that gained the Water or Ice type upon evolving. | The most notable PokéGod that arose from the months predating Gold and Silver is Pikablu.

It was speculated to be an evolution to Pikachu that gained the Water or Ice type upon evolving. It eventually became so popular that the fandom considered it to be not an evolution of Pikachu but an unevolved, pure Water or Ice type Pokémon that served as a counterpart to Pikachu. This PokéGod met its demise when the games were released and it was revealed to be {{bp|Marill}}. | ||
After the release of Gold and Silver, PokéGods lost relevance because more reliable sources began to form and with the release of a new set of games people got a better idea of what to expect from {{bp|Game Freak}} in the future. Also, the internet had since become so successful that it was harder for one to tell a lie without someone else disproving them. People will still create their own ideas for Pokémon purely for artistic purposes. These are best known as Fakémon. | After the release of Gold and Silver, PokéGods lost relevance because more reliable sources began to form and with the release of a new set of games people got a better idea of what to expect from {{bp|Game Freak}} in the future.
