A tabletop RPG [[Affectionate Parody]] of both [[Pokémon]] and the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. Created in 2000 by S. John Ross and John Kovalic (whose art may seem [[Munchkin (game)|oddly]] [[Dork Tower|familiar]]), Pokethulhu consists of a 30-page sourcebook which contains brief instructions for creating player characters (known as Cultists) and Pokethulhu (also known simply as "thulhu"), as well as a simple battle system, a few campaign ideas and a sample adventure.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:

* [[Action Initiative]]: Wild thulhu always attack first. When two trainers face off, they engage in a trash-talking contest to see who goes first.
* [[Adorable Abomination]]: Practically goes without saying.
Line 37:
* [[Expy]]: For all the major characters and aspects of either parent universe.
* [[Free-Range Children]]: The bulk of Cultists are children, and they travel wherever they want. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that everybody over high school age is either [[Adults Are Useless|utterly terrified of the thulhu or have gone completely insane from prolonged exposure to them.]]
* [[Go Mad
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Right there on the cover: "Gotta catch you all." ([[Double Take|Wait, what?]])
* [[Glass Cannon]]: The result when you create a thulhu with low HP and high Power.
