| style="text-align:left" | Debuting in the self-titled episode ''{{wp|Chinpokomon}}'', the ''Chinpokomon'' anime, toys, and video games are a clear parody of Pokémon, which was in the midst of its peak in popularity in 1999 (the year the episode debuted). In the episode, the merchandise, marketed with the slogan "I've Got To Buy It!" is actually a ruse concocted by the Japanese government to convert American children into anti-American child soldiers. The Chinpokomon would later reappear in the video game ''{{wp|South Park: The Stick of Truth}}'', and a future reference in the form of "[[Pokémon GO|Chinpokomon GO]]" makes an appearance in the game ''{{wp|South Park: The Fractured But Whole}}'', as part of Wendy/Call Girl's special attack. The Chinpokomon creatures seen include Chu-Chu Nezumi, Furrycat, Donkeytron, Pengin, Lambtron, Roo-Stor, Gophermon, Stegmata, Pterdaken, Ferasnarf, Poodlesaurus Rex, Monkay, Mouse-tik, Fatdactyl, and Shoe, among others. Some even bear resemblance to existing Pokémon (such as Furrycat's resemblance to {{p|Meowth}}, Pterdaken's resemblance to {{p|Charmeleon}}, Stegmata's resemblance to {{p|Wartortle}}, Ferasnarf's resemblance to {{p|Jolteon}}, and Fatdactyl's resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}). In addition, Kenny McCormick, fitting in with his trend of being killed off in almost every episode, suffers a seizure while playing the ''Chinpokomon'' video game, and remains catatonic until the end of the episode, where a cluster of rats burst out of his dead, motionless body. | | style="text-align:left" | Debuting in the self-titled episode ''{{wp|Chinpokomon}}'', the ''Chinpokomon'' anime, toys, and video games are a clear parody of Pokémon, which was in the midst of its peak in popularity in 1999 (the year the episode debuted).
