*[[The PokéMasters]] temporarily renamed itself to "The [[Gary Oak]] Masters" and changed the themes of its main site and forums, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both. The forums also implemented a celebration of Gary Oak with every thread mentioning "Gary was Here" and the Rival music from [[Generation I]] being played. An account named "Gary Oak" was also created and used by the staff members to post messages reminiscent of Gary's anime incarnation. Additionally, the site posted a fake announcement of Pokémon Snap 3DS (a sequel to [[Pokémon Snap]]) with the first letter of each paragraph spelling APRILFOOLS and the source linking to {{wp|Rebecca Black}}'s '{{wp|Friday (Rebecca Black song)|Friday}}' video. April Fools' Day was on a Friday that year. | *[[The PokéMasters]] temporarily renamed itself to "The [[Gary Oak]] Masters" and changed the themes of its main site and forums, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both.
