Pokemon Go is all the craze ...

... and so we figured why not match a few New York and New Jersey sports stars with their Pokemon match? Click share if you think a friend might find this funny, and of course, happy Pokemon catching.

Bartolo Colon and Snorlax

The Mets pitcher has become a fan favorite because of his age (he's 43) and his roundish figure on the mound. Snorlax, according to the Pokemon database, "Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. It never gets an upset stomach." They'd get along great.

Carmelo Anthony and Lickitung

Melo has a problem sometimes keeping his tongue in his mouth during Knicks games. Lickitung, meanwhile, "has a tongue that spans seven feet and moves more freely than its forelegs." Sounds like he'd be an effective low-post defender. Paging Phil Jackson!

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Herdier

The Jets quarterback is known for his epic beard. Herdier, according to the Pokemon database, has a "cape-like fur that is very hard" and is "very loyal and listens to its trainers." Hmm. Maybe, other than the looks, this isn't a good match after all.

Donald Trump and Chikorita

The former owner of the USFL's New Jersey Generals -- anyone knows what he's up to lately? -- has been known to get attention for the thing on his head. Chikorita, meanwhile, can produce a "sweet aroma" from its head leaf. Both probably try to avoid strong winds.

Carli Lloyd and Raichu

Carli Lloyd will lead the U.S. Women's National Team into Rio in pursuit of a gold medal. Raichu uses 100,000-volt charges to disable its opponents. So (forgive me) you could certainly say both are electrifying.

Noah Syndergaard and Alakazam

Thor has an incredible fastball and slider for the Mets. Alakazam has an IQ that is said to be as high as 5,000. Both seem to use the same barber, and apparently not very frequently.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Oddish

Oddish "may be mistaken for a clump of weeds," according to the Pokemon Database. The top of the Giants receiver's head would probably blend in nicely in a wheat field. They also both look so darn happy.

Laurie Hernandez and Jigglypuff

Hernandez, the 16-year-old Olympic gymnast from Old Bridge, is nicknamed the "Human Emoji" for her many expressions. Jigglypuff "rolls its cute eyes as it sings a soothing lullaby. Also: Both love pink.

Chris Ash and Crawdaunt

In addition to both loving the color red, Crawdaunt has an "extremely violent nature that compels it to challenge other living things to battle." If Ash's defense is like that at Rutgers this season, fans will be very happy.

Joe Girardi and Taillow

Joe Girardi has had to steer the Yankees through several less-than-stellar seasons lately. Taillow, meanwhile, is a "gutsy Pokemon that will remain defiant even after a loss." Sounds about right, doesn't it?

Eli Manning and Gloom

Who knew that the famous "Eli Face" was already a Pokemon character. Gloom, apparently, is deceptively dangerous, just like the Giants quarterback.

Derek Jeter and Pikachu

Of course, it's only fitting that Derek Jeter, the most identifiable athlete of this generation, should be a match with the most famous Pokemon. The only difference: One is retired, and the other just keeps going and going ...
