These 'Game of Thrones' Characters Seem Familiar... We Present: Pokegame of Thrones!

Daenerys, Game of Thrones, Pokemon

HBO; The Pokemon Company International
Season 3 of Game of Thrones is over, but everyone's still grieving. It was a tough season. But to help you come to terms with your grief (and to give you something to satisfy your in-between-seasons cravings) we've gathered some information that may be of interest to you.
We have come to the conclusion that many Game of Thrones characters bear striking similarities to characters from our childhood — that's right, Pokémon. It all started with a joke about Hodor being like a Pokémon because he only says his name, but we quickly realized that the lovable, simple giant wasn't the only one. Launch our gallery to see which other characters would show up in our Pokégame of Thrones.

Daenerys Targaryen — Charizard

Dany, like Charizard, is highly competitive. She will not rest until all of Slaver's Bay is hers. Also like Charizard, Dany will never attack a weaker foe unless provoked. And, you know, there's that whole flying, fire-breathing dragon thing.
  
 

Cersei Lannister — Ninetails

Cersei and Ninetails are both intelligent and vengeful creatures who hold grudges easily. If you mess with them, they will curse you and not think twice about it. Cersei will also probably sleep with you.
  

 

Jaime Lannister — Persian

Underneath their refined façade, Jaime and Persian are fierce predators. They stalk and attack their prey with great skill. However, when Persian is yanked by its whiskers it becomes temporarily docile, kind of like when [SPOILER ALERT!] Jaime got his hand cut off.
  

 

Joffrey Baratheon — Meowth

Meowth is capable of dealing powerful scratching attacks, much like Joffrey is capable of beheading a beloved character... which was so painful because it happened before we knew what this series was capable of, before the Red Wedding ripped our hearts out and tore them to pieces. Curse you, George R.R. Martin! Curse you! Oh, sorry, I'm getting off track here.
 

Lord Varys — Chansey

Varys and Chansey don't really share any behavioral characteristics, but they're both round, bald, and female — well, Varys isn't technically female, but you know what I mean.
  

 

Sansa Stark — Eevee

Eevee and Sansa are both naive characters, but they have the ability to evolve to better suit their surroundings. Now, if only Eevee could learn how to braid that bushy tail.
  

 

Arya Stark — Pikachu

Do I even need to explain this one? Adorable, feisty, sparky, will totally kick your ass. The end.
  
 

Jon Snow — Articuno

Articuno lives in cold, isolated places and, like Jon "You Know Nothing" Snow, is a poorly understood species. Don't worry guys, one day someone will love you for who you are, even if you are a bastard crow.
  
 

Samwell Tarly — Snorlax

A hungry Snorlax is not satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, just like Sam. OK, Sam does not consume 900 pounds of food, but they are both docile creatures, which isn't exactly a great quality when you're trying to survive north of the Wall.
  
 

Hodor — Machoke

Machoke and Hodor both posses immense strength, so they help out with manual labor (like carrying around a paralyzed Warg who desperately needs a haircut). Also, they both only say their name, which is what got this whole thing started in the first place. Hodor.
