* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão". One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon. | * In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".

* A {{wp|Donald Duck}} comic originally published in January 27, 2000 in Denmark known as ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+99160&search= Kampkræene kommer]'' (known as ''Battle Beasties'' in the American translation) is a reference to Pokémon. In the story the nephews become fascinated by a new game called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment, later they discover that the monsters are real (through the game's creator) and accidentally end up freeing them making the monsters ally with the Duckburg residents. The story had a continuation in April 17, 2001 called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version). Interestingly in some translations like Italian and Portuguese the monsters are referred to by titles more similar to Pokémon like Kukemon and Bobomon. | |||
