Aussie Politics Explained Via Pokémon

Kotaku AU

Want to know how we ended up with a hung parliament? What better way to detail the recent history of Australian politics – from Menzies and Holt to Gillard, Abbott and Brown – than through the medium of a Pokémon battle.

[Thanks Tracey!]

    I don’t know if words can describe how fantastic this is.

    Labor used ‘SWIFT’!
    Coalition used ‘CONFUSE RAY’! It was super effective!
    The Nation fell fast asleep!

      *ABBOTT uses BUDGIE SMUGGLERS*
      *GILLIARD is ILL*
      *PUBLIC uses DODGY VOTES!*
