I was granted a vision about Pokémon. All the Pokémon are replaced by dogs, Temmie replaces the professor. Quietly lesser dog stretches across the screen to replace text boxes. You are given the option of picking one of these starters. They're all really excited to meet you. Temmie gets really excited at how excited they get, which excites them all into an infinite loop. The game would crash if they got too excited. IGN gave it a rating of 8.7 anyway: "Not enough pomeranians" was the quote, but weirdly no one else said a thing about it. People would pass on the street, nod at each other and say, "Not enough pomeranians" - it entered everyday vernacular so fast that Merriam-Webster added the phase as a new word in their dictionary. The whole phrase.
Some people managed to play by pretending to be disinterested - the dogs didn't react if you were stone faced, but if you so much as smirked the game would instantly crash. It became a well known 'you laugh you lose' category on Twitch. A whole community emerged dedicated to analysing face cam footage to ensure gameplay was fair. The smilegate drama video reached 150b views in half a day. It was too much overstimulation collectively that everyone quit the internet forever.
