What would happen if you morphed a Pokémon creature and your favourite [or least favourite] celeb?

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

i wasn’t able to find a co-host for this week’s game [if you ever want to try, drop me a line] and so we decided to do it au naturel so to speak. With a so-called UnNamed One crew of between 6 and 12 people backing the game every week, we’re always in excellent hands and this game was no different.

One of my favourite tweets from during the game was when someone [who shall remain nameless] who has been playing the game for a good while, messaged me to say that he [or she] had JUST got the fact that if you say @AFrikkinHashtag out loud it almost sounds a little bit like African Hashtag. No ways! Welcome, friend! Layers upon layers we always are.

And i have to give huge thanks to the majority of you who stick with the FAMILY nature of the @AFrikkinHashtag game [which i know is a stretch for some] – sure, some people are always going to go rude or sexual or explicit, but for the most part i think people are learning and it is much appreciated and is one of the small things that helps us stand a little apart from the crowd. Each game needs its own flavour, right?

So in the aftermath of the PokémonGo world phenomenon, we thought we had to jump on right and because there was SO MUCH good resource on offer, we decided to have TWO promo game ads for a change:

And out of all the celebs in the world it seemed to make the most sense to begin the actual game with a Miley Cyrus mashup and it was like the game designers knew:

So with everyone on board we decided to have a lot of fun with the Pokemons and the Celebritons and we really did. As per usual i managed to get a few examples out just to let everyone know what was happening.

For Donald Trump we didn’t need to invent a special Pokémon, because his was already there. #PokemonGoACeleb

Nic Cage + Caterpie would give us: Cagerpie #PokemonGoACeleb

When you add a Spearow to a Spears you get this stunningly plumed “Britsrow”

And especially cos a number of the @AFrikkinHashtag crew are big Who fans…

What if HootHoot became a famous time travelling Doctor? #PokemonGoACeleb

Doctor Who

In terms of favourite faces, we were super stoked to have the National Lampoon crowd play our game:

As well as Canadian radio station Q93 who also played along:

With so many Pokémon and so many celebs we were bound to get a crazy amount of tweets and so we did not manage to get all the best ones, but these are some of the ones to catch our eye in that special way and to make it on to the much sought after:

FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [aka F.L.O.P.]

Because the names and pics pretty much speak for themselves i’m not going to do the usual commentary in between, but there are some great ones here and one of my favourites was Syed who cleverly riffed on the name itself with this one:

Well done everyone, that was a lot of Pokéfun and you were so great. i am super stoked to have two of my favourite crew Jayme [@JaymeMcKenna] and WhoBrannigan [@WhoBrannigan] double co-hosting with me for this week’s game… if we get round to it… because things of a PROCRASTINATIONARY nature are going to be the theme and so i’m sure you will all have much to add to the pile.

To everyone who didn’t F.L.O.P. last week, there is a game to come and maybe this one will be yours?

But in the meantime, keep the WIT in the TWITTERER and we will see you on the flip side.

love brett fish [@BrettFishA] and the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin No_bob [who doesn’t bob!]
