I know it feels like we’re piling up on Trump a little today, but in a Photoshop contest about a Pokemon that can copy anything, lharm explained so much with a single image it had to win.

As many readers pointed out, the Ditto that’s been delighting and creeping out Pokemon fans and appearing on an increasing amount of official merchandise is actually a singular creature for one episode of the animated series. Other Ditto can copy their targets completely. By the end of the episode, this particular one could as well.

But it’s much more fun to imagine an entire race of creatures that could almost exactly duplicate other people and things, moving about a not particularly perceptive society that doesn’t notice the dotted eyes the telltale signs.
