“South Park’s” Top Ten Love Letters To Video Games
9) Chinpokomon

While the “Chinpokomon” episode technically is more about the Pokemon craze from a merchandising standpoint and less the popular gaming franchise, if it weren’t for Pokemon the game, there is a high likelihood that this episode doesn’t happen and that would’ve sucked. It was one of the first such cases of South Park commenting on a popular fad, a trend that would continue pretty much every season thereinafter.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
