* The infamous ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' short at the beginning of ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' was repurposed as part of the episode, "Good Seats". It was otherwise weird for word the same but had the SerialNumbersFiledOff and ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' was replaced by a franchise called ''Mega Giants''.

* It may have a [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign very nonsensical-sounding pseudo-Japanese name]].

* If a creature from the parody work is shown, it is quite likely to be an {{Expy}} of Pikachu, thanks to its massive popularity, and being the only Pokémon that people who aren't fans of the series can usually name. If not, it will be one of either Charmander or ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'''s Agumon, usually a vaguely [[DinosaursAreDragons dinosaur/dragon-like creature with a fire motif]].

* In ''Anime/AnohanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'', Tetsudo suggests Menma might have wished for a rare "''Nokemon''" game. The game's versions are listed as ''Opal'', ''Gold'', and ''Emerald'', the latter two of which are the names of actual ''Pokémon'' games. They're played on a BlandNameProduct version of the GBA SP and most resemble ''[=FireRed=] and [=LeafGreen=]''.

* ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' has Issei and Asia try to get their own familiars; while trying to catch one, Issei yells "Sprite Dragon, I choose you!". They are also guided by Zatouji, who wears a baseball cap and strives to become a Familiar Master.

* A ''Manga/FrankenFran'' story had Fran genetically engineering a mouse-like creature with an accelerated mutation speed, which could "evolve" over the course of a single generation into various forms. An unscrupulous rival scientist starts selling the creatures, and kids use them to battle for sport. One of the kids even looks like Ash.
* The ''Anime/GagMangaBiyori'' sketch "Stickers 2" focuses on a licensing deal for [[FreePrizeAtTheBottom stickers included with a food product]] based on ''Dokimon'', an anime which proudly advertises having over 100 collectible creatures. Unfortunately, the artist charged with the task, Shimagi Shimami, [[InvertedTrope inverts]] FurriesAreEasierToDraw and is only capable of drawing the human protagonist, Takeru-kun. When accused of being an amateur, she reveals that she's created a ''Dokimon'' {{doujinshi}} before... [[AlternateUniverseFic where Takeru-kun is the only thing in existence]]. Her later attempt at drawing one of the creatures ("White Dragon") in a "lively" way results in a drawing of it roasting over a spit.

* Enemies encountered in ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' are referred to as "Sujimon", or "super jittery men". During the story, Ichiban meets Professor Morikasa, the "Sujimon Sensei". Morikasa invites Ichiban and his party to his "Sujimon Center", where he tasks them to discover all the Sujimon to complete the Sujidex. In ''Videogame/LikeADragonInfiniteWealth'', Ichiban is even able to engage in "Sujimon Battles" where he uses collected Sujimon to engage in underground battles.

* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' had a feature in one 2000 issue caricaturing US politicians as Pokémon and describing their characteristic types, abilities, strengths and weaknesses as such.
