    $POKEMON Thesis: Two Months Later Two months ago, the $POKEMON thesis was about survival. A token born from the August 27 compromise of the official @Pokemon X account. A chaotic launch, a first CTO, internal problems, and eventually a second community takeover. Most memecoins would have disappeared. $POKEMON didn't. But two months later, survival alone isn't enough. From Lore to Building The original thesis was simple. $POKEMON had something most memecoins couldn't manufacture: genuine history. Two community takeovers, controversy, uncertainty, and people who refused to walk away. That history brought us together. But the second CTO was never supposed to be about keeping a chart alive forever. It was about building something around it. And that's what we've started doing. We've established the Pokémon Fan Club, launched our website, developed Telegram tools for card collecting and pricing, started streaming, organized giveaways, brought Pokémon GO players together, and begun building our digital Pack Room. Some things are live. Others are still being developed. We're not pretending everything is finished. But two months ago, much of this didn't exist. The Reality Growth hasn't been explosive. The market hasn't rewarded every hour of work. Community participation still needs improvement, and a small group continues to carry much of the workload. We've made mistakes, changed direction, and learned that building products is easier than building consistent participation. But we've also learned something important. A community needs more than a token to survive long term. It needs things people actually enjoy. The Updated Thesis The original thesis was: Recognition → Lore → Attention → Community → Execution → Longevity Two months later, it's evolving: History → Survival → Building → Participation → Sustainability The first two chapters are behind us. We're working through the middle. The final chapters still have to be earned. Pokémon already has generations of fans, collectors and gamers. Our opportunity isn't to create that audience. It's to build a place where some of those people want to spend their time. And if we succeed, $POKEMON becomes part of something bigger than another memecoin competing for attention. That doesn't guarantee token appreciation. Execution, adoption, and sustainable community growth will determine whether the thesis holds. The Next Chapter The next two months aren't about announcing twenty new ideas. They're about finishing what we've started. Getting the Pack Room operational. Improving our tools. Growing community participation. Supporting creators. Giving people reasons to return. Two months ago, we were trying to save a story. Today, we're trying to build something worth staying for. The first CTO kept the token alive. The second CTO is trying to give it a future. And the next chapter will determine whether we can turn that potential into something lasting. We're still here. We're still building. And the story isn't finished.

    Pokémon lore gets surprisingly dark, especially around Halloween. Did you know? Drifloon is rumoured to lure children away when they mistake it for a balloon. Yamask carries a mask said to resemble its face from when it was human. Banette was once an abandoned doll brought to life by its own grudge. Pokémon has some seriously disturbing backstories hiding in the Pokédex $POKEMON Fan Club

    GM Pokémon Fan Club. Some people chase the next big thing. We're building something we actually enjoy being part of. Collecting cards, ripping packs, playing Pokémon GO, making friends and bringing Pokémon fans together on Solana. Markets go up and down. Communities are built through consistency. We're only two months into this journey, and there's still so much we want to accomplish. Gotta catch 'em all. $POKEMON

    RT @Roythebeebum: @PokeFanClubSol is a refreshing addition to this space. Merging crypto with a huge movement. Pokemon is everywhere you need to love undee a rock to not see it when you are out and about. The main account posted this contract!! One of the craziest blunders ever to happen. This is going to be huge

    I wrote this $POKEMON thesis on September 2. Still worth revisiting. The history is already there. What matters now is what we build from it. “The first takeover saved the story. The second takeover has to prove the story was worth saving.”
    Gene @GeneDCL
    $POKEMON Thesis $POKEMON is not a clean-launch memecoin. That is part of the thesis. From the beginning, the story has been chaotic: an unusual launch, a first community takeover, internal problems, uncertainty around leadership, questions around fees, and eventually a second community takeover trying to rebuild the project properly. Most tokens would have died somewhere along that path. $POKEMON didn't. And that survival is where the narrative becomes interesting. The Second CTO The first takeover proved that people were willing to keep the token alive. The second takeover is about proving that the community can actually build something around it. It has been bumpy from the start. There wasn't a perfectly organized transition, a massive treasury, a polished marketing machine or a single team controlling everything. Instead, people had to step forward, organize, build tools, create content, establish socials, communicate with the community and try to solve problems as they appeared. That makes this less of a traditional memecoin launch and more of an ongoing piece of crypto lore. Launch. Chaos. Rug. Survival. CTO. More chaos. Second CTO. Rebuild. That entire sequence becomes part of the story. Why the Narrative Still Matters Memecoins trade heavily on stories. And $POKEMON has something that can't easily be manufactured after the fact: history. There are already chapters. There are characters. There are mistakes. There are conflicts. There are people who stayed. There are people trying to rebuild it. And there is still an incredibly recognizable cultural theme sitting underneath everything. With the wrong team, that history is just baggage. With the right team, it becomes lore. The second CTO doesn't need to pretend the past was perfect. The stronger narrative is that it wasn't. The community inherited something messy and decided to keep going anyway. The Core Thesis The thesis isn't simply: “Pokémon is huge, therefore the coin goes up.” It's: A globally recognizable meme + an unusually deep origin story + two community takeovers + an active rebuilding effort creates a narrative that the right team could potentially turn into something much larger than the original launch. Recognition brings attention. Lore gives people something to talk about. Community gives people a reason to participate. Building gives them a reason to stay. And execution determines whether any of it matters. The Opportunity Most memecoins have to invent a narrative. $POKEMON already has one. The challenge is organizing it. If the second CTO can establish credible leadership, transparency, consistent content, community participation and actual things for holders to interact with, then every difficult chapter becomes part of the comeback story. The rough beginning actually creates a stronger potential narrative: They tried to kill it. The first community kept it alive. The second community decided to build it right. That is a much more powerful story than pretending this was a perfect launch from day one. The Bet The bet isn't that past chaos guarantees success. It doesn't. The bet is that the token has survived long enough to accumulate genuine lore, recognition and community involvement — and that the right team could turn that history into momentum instead of allowing it to remain baggage. The upside case becomes: Recognition → Lore → Attention → Community → Execution → Longevity And the second CTO becomes the defining chapter. The first takeover saved the story. The second takeover has to prove the story was worth saving.

    I’ve been saying it since the day I got involved with $POKEMON: I’m here to work. Second CTO. New DEX. New website. Community rebuilding from the ground up. And now the chart is starting to reflect the work. +76% in 1H +95% in 6H +130% in 24H Still a long way to go. I didn’t come here for the easy part.

    You need more lore than just a pair 🤣 43K $CARDS sounds impressive until you divide it by 7K holders. At $0.30 each, that’s roughly $1.84 per holder on average. With rewards weighted toward larger holdings, smaller holders get less. If rewards depend on trading fees, lower volume means smaller payouts too. “43K rewarded” makes a great headline. What the average holder actually receives adds some perspective.

    $Pokémon after a week+ being live on @Pumpfun -7K+ holders -2.9m ATH -800+ Pairs -43K $CARDS rewarded to holders The community is building, redistribution/consolidation is looking bullish, and Pokémon packs on chain are only growing in popularity. Yeah the journey to becoming Pokémon Masters is only just beginning. Pokémon— Gotta catch ’em all.
