The Pokémon Go craze is not dying anytime soon. In fact, it’s giving new life — to babies everywhere, having inspired names all around America, reports BabyCenter.

New parents have been so inspired by the game and its respective cartoon from the ’90s, that they’ve taken to naming their human children after such famed Pokémon as Roselia, Eevee and Onyx for girls, along with Ash, the trainer of our generation, for boys.

Other trainer names rising in popularity include Ivy and Shay.

As many as 50 per cent of the moms who visit BabyCenter say they are playing the game, meaning there is likely a little Charizard or Jigglypuff out there somewhere.

“Parents are always looking to pop culture for baby name inspiration and, right now, it doesn’t get hotter than Pokémon Go,” Linda Murray, BabyCenter editor-in-chief, said in a press release.

What a time to be alive.
