"On Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 12:00am Pokemon profile picture month officially started on Facebook. Created by Elliot Chaltry & David Benjamin Schlager and started by Kelson Thomas, the event caught on quickly and had more then 121,763 confirmed guests. Some people had no idea what was going on and posted questions on who was attending on IGN boards and Serebii forums. Eventually some, without attending, still changed their profile pics, having more then the listed attendees, there were even more events of the same idea created by other users."

If you've been online in the last 14 years, there's a good chance you've come across the wave of Pokémon pictures taking over social media in December. For me it's become a tradition to support a local artist and friend of mine, Alejandra. We're on year 12 of custom Pokémon profile pics and couldn't be happier to keep the silly custom alive.
If you have some extra money this holiday season, please support a local artist! Whether it's for a Pokémon picture or a Christmas gift, they'll appreciate it and you'll get a one-of-a-kind work that can stay with you forever.
