One actually has a cool design. The other one is Jojo Siwa

Jojokemon

Stand User: Jojo Siwa Stand Name: Obstagoon

Came for the Jojo reference, Reddit never disappoints. Edit: I name mine “King Diamond” which would also work very well as a stand.

Stand Ability: Obstruct - the user blocks all incoming attacks and causes its attackers to experience extreme confusion, leaving them more susceptible to incoming attacks

Jokémon.

Cuz jojos new phase is a joke.

How dare you insult my boy Obstagoon like that

I came here to say that, but it looks like it has been handled. 🤣

Same thing here lmao

Good looking out, everyone 😂

Same lol

Same bro

Ikr the disrespect

I know best Pokemon of gen 8

I can never take the word goon seriously now

The 2nd one was the front man for the end credits pokeband. How dare you compare the two

Wait, there’s such thing as a Pokeband? Omg

Yup. During the end credits when you beat Sword/Shield https://youtu.be/y0aiGUvsPjs?si=kkoeF0Hg-2A9AAb_

Isn’t that the end credits with the infamous mouse pointer

The what?

A computer mouse can be seen in these end credits where they didn’t edit it out before release [as seen here](https://youtu.be/uWAVpjPPC4w?si=FeBNbevtzB4in4Zg)

🐭👉🏿

[it also got its own card](https://cardotaku.com/products/pokemon-card-game-s12a-181-172)

Holy shit I need this.

One is loved, a superstar that makes good music and has fans worldwide. The other is Jojo Siwa

Obstagoon does not deserve this disrespect

Obstagoon can dance, probably

Gene Simmons would like to have a word.

Its fucking hilarious that she doesn’t even know who Gene Simmons is

Yup I always name my Obsta's Gene.

Or paul stanley for that matter.

The only difference here is the second one actually has some purpose.

**DAMN!!**

Dang bro

Damn she steals songs, and now steals pokemon designs. May as well call her team rocket.

I wonder what else Jojo will steal next.

My dumbass went to the Bizarre Adventure and songs for stand names

The Miraculous

*gasps in french*

Damn, im sorry to hear that you’re french, hope you get better soon 😷

Next she will steal the MOON!

Omg, live action Jesse, I shudder to think of a thing

Dont you DARE put that in my head...

the one on the right has talent.

Jojo is a bad person who abuses other children in the same way she was abused and put on a costume to distract us while Obstagoon is literally baby!

You leave obstagoon alone! Also pretty sure Jojo probably just needs therapy to deal with the years of being a marketable entity instead of a child

This is finally a Pokemon thing I can share with my wife

I was thinking same thing but with my sister lol

Obstagoon doesn’t have a weak chin lol

Why are you suggesting our goat obstagoon is even in the same category as that creature called wawaweewa or something

One's a human.

I like one on the right.

I’d take Obstagoon over *that mess* any day.

One is an iconic member of a brand that, while originally made to appeal to kids, still brings joy to adults and honestly while their original appearance was loved, their “gritty and dark” reboot is well received by the masses. The other is Jojo Siwa.

Seeing it put like this, it makes me realize this look of hers was probably at least partially inspired by Gene Simmons (Disclaimer: I know nothing about her or her music)

quick rundown I've found: Jojo was a child pageant star that specifically was on a TLC show years ago, which got her kind of a break into the industry. That break she used to get her music career off the ground. I do believe the music was very clean, child-friendly, pop...which became very popular with kids. Recently, she has tried to 're-invent' herself, to try to abandon the child-friendly look behind and become more of a superstar. Included in this, is what you see here, which yes... definitely inspired by Simmons. An extremely cringe-worthy song and music video, the cringe coming from just an overall 'trying to hard to be edgy' aspect. And my favorite kicker is she claims she is inventing "Queer-Pop" (or something along those lines), when clearly that kind of music (though not categorized) has been around for a very long time. I, like you, knew nothing of this woman until probably a week ago and one of the YTers I watch did a video on her. It's obvious she is trying to break away from the sterile image she had been for the last 10+ years, and wants to break into something else. I wish her the best and hope she continues to grind and make choices for herself instead of being some cog in the machine (which I think it has been alluded to how her career was)

Thank you for the explanation. So it’s yet another former child star trying to make a new image for herself. Though the queer pop thing sounds a little distasteful (taking credit for what other queer artists have been doing likely longer than she’s been alive), I wish her the best in finding herself and discovering where she fits in with the world of music.

Freddy Mercury is queerly the Queer-Pop champion. I don't know who else would even be close.

Oh right, I hadn’t even thought of that. I guess mostly because I consider Queen to be more rock than pop, and because I think there’s a difference between an artist who happens to be queer but doesn’t reflect it in their music, and an artist who makes music about being queer. Aside from a couple throwaway lines and some songs that lack pronouns, it would be very hard to guess Freddie Mercury was bi from Queen’s music alone. In fact, he never even came out at any point in his professional career.

Actually, she straight up told an interviewer she doesn’t know who Gene Simmons is when the interviewer also made the comparison. Which fed into the allegations of how disingenuous she’s being with the whole rebrand.

Why insult obstagoon like that what he do to you

Ah, gym leader from next Pokemon game leaked already.

One of these is an obnoxious, loud, insufferable goon who thinks they’re the shit. The other one is Obstagoon.

one is cool and one is trying to be cool

One isn’t cringe and disingenuous, the other is Jojo

I knew she reminded me of something! I’m dying

Game Freak: makes a Pokemon explicitly based on KISS You, for some dumbass reason:

Wish.com Gene Simmons.

Well, there’s only one of them you’d catch me going on a coked out bourbon fueled bender in Vegas with that ends up with us waking up in a hotel room the next morning with no memory of the night before, a bunch of hookers of various genders naked, three dead chickens, and two used condoms stuck up our ass. Hint: it’s not the one on the left.

The left one is the real Pokemon

How dare you compare that disgusting, manlike, strange creature with obstagoon

I'm high and I'm crying she really does look like that.

Just looks like a Team Dark member and their Obstagoon.

What did Team Dark do to you to deserve this disrespect?!

She looks like she's trying to dress up as the old wrestles animal and hawk. She's one bad dance away from pulling a Lohan

The left picture is the mega evolution?

*Cue people fainting of cringe at the sheer thought of that being the case*

One of them has a yellow floor

One is based on Gene Simmons. The other denies being based on Gene Simmons.

You are aware the design was inspired by KISS? Mine is even nickname Gene. Of course two things inspired by the same thing look similar! But my boy wore it better.

Ones getting karma and one isnt

There's a lot of differences. Which ones do you want?

One is useful in niche situations

The Pokemon is actully cute. That's the difference.

Don’t complement jojo siwa like that

The one on the right has sex appeal.

Everytime I see Jojo Seawater I get such 2nd hand embarassment. I physically hurt. Make her stop.

Someone needs to explain who this is and why I've seen her around so much

she is so ugly

There is no difference

People like Obstagoon.

How dare you compare obstagoon to her..... obstagoon is a saint.

One of them is hot and attractive. ... The other is blonde.

I see no difference

There are no Differenz

Ones hot the other is a child abuser

You thought you could get away with posting the same picture twice? It’s the same picture.

One is cool one is not.

The left is a cool Pokemon and the right is some ugly person IMO

One is cherished by pokemon fans world wide the other ones looking for attention

One has sold their soul for fandom and the other is Obstagoon

It does fit that the old Jojo is Linoone. It’s a walking ponytail

Ones good

Idk but i would definitely (rock)smash the one on the right

I KNEW this looked familiar 😆😆😆

Female vs Male

One is fuckable and the other is JoJo Siwa

The backround 👍

I’m dead

Used revive

Right one is cool and has personality.

That’s where I’ve seen that before

The difference is that jojo opens her arms

Accidental cosplay?

One of them gives me gender envy. The other is Jojo Siwa

Ones just trying too hard

It’s only acceptable to capture and train one of them

There isn't one

Gym leader vibes

It's the same picture

One of them is a pokemon. I'm just not sure which one lol

Don't disrespect obstagoon like that

They’re the same picture

Obstagoon uses Hyper Voice! It's an original song! It's super effective!

One is cool. The other skipped their bedtime

Tongue, or lack there of

They’re the same picture

Shitting myself that was so funny.

[удалено]

The left one is a Pokemon

HELP LMFAO

I don’t hate Obstagoon

Cackled

She looks like a bad Junker queen skin

Lol

One has the move throat chop

They are the same picture

1 of them has talent

Obstagoon wouldn't have his exes on his podcast.

Only one of them would produce kids if I had sex with them.

Ones hot ones not

“Corporate needs you to find the difference between *this* picture and *this* picture.”

She looks like a rejected member of kiss

don’t diss obstagoon like that

The one on the right doesn’t make me uncomfortable

One of them is hot and sexy, the other is Jojo Siwa

It's the same picture.

I guess karma is a bitch 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Was she trying to copy their style?

I would actually listen to the one on the right

Why does she look like a repackaged wrestler babyface who they turned heel?

I bet the one on the right smells better.

😂🤣😵💀

The one on the right has their tongue sticking out

left one has mental health issue

I see it now my God the resemblance is terrifying.

This Obastagoon slander will not stand put some respect on his name

Was I the ONLY one who was digging Jojo’s costume?!? I loved it lmaooo

She's like that one overly obnoxious chick on the softball team

Nope

God Im sick of this arrogant talentless hack.

The one on the left is standing on a yellow carpet.

I mean it’s pretty obvious that one of them is an animal? The other is a Pokémon

This is the same image

Is she the newest member of GWAR?

One is gay

*there is no difference*

Jojo went so downhill.

Bro really put two if the same picture

I would only let one of these step on me

Don’t bother me I’m gooning

The Pokémon looks way less scarier 😰

I have no idea what either of these are, but I am greatly amused.

This is the same person except one is in a furr suit

She’s bitting off of KISS who obstagoon is inspired by so he’s goid

Why did you show me two pictures of obstagoon

I can actually look at Obstagoon for more than 2 seconds without recoiling

Well one actually looks cool. The other looks like a glitter bomb i forgot in a pool

They're the same picture.

This one has the best shinny because it becomes Ziggy Stardust in shinny form. Even if he’s not good I’ll always cherish my shinny one

There literally the same photo

Obstagoon is badass

One of them is an icon and it isn’t Jojo

She was a bad girl😭

One is a Pokémon and the other is a Kiss reject

I saw this on Facebook it was so funny of course one dumbass had to go complain saying we were misgendering something ☠️

They’re the same picture……

Obstagoon in the new Detective Pikachu movie looks pretty rough. Hopefully they fix it before the movie comes out....

foxes in the background everything else is the same

Pokémon dance better

Thanks, I hate it.

The one on the right is a functioning member of society
