Whether or not you're playing, you've surely heard of Pokemon Go -- the latest addition to the Pokemon universe for iPhone and Android. The augmented reality game has already spawned countless memes, and strangely, a few instances of robberies, but for the most part, people seem to be loving their ability to catch Pokemon in the real world.
We know that Soulja Boy is certainly taking part in the game, as are many other rappers we'd assume looking at the staggering stats (the game has more active users than Twitter currently). As the world once again becomes infatuated with these strange creatures, we've decided to look at some references to the game in rap, collecting not all, but some of the more memorable Pokemon name drops, which we'll surely be hearing more of following the new phenomenon. Click through to read the various Pokeraps, and let us know your favorite (included or not) in the comments below.
