Of the many, many memes spawned by the announcement of Pokemon Sword and Shield , perhaps the most popular (or at least the one I saw stolen and reposted the most) was the logo for a third version – Pokemon Gun. As it turns out, some didn't notice the joke.

As posted by Twitter user Cin Ceja , Mexican newspaper La Voz de Michoacán printed logos for Sword, Shield and Gun alongside its news piece about the new games:The full article actually doesn't mention Gun, so it seems someone in the picture department may have some explaining to do.To be fair, it is a very good fake. The original image, by Twitter user Sir5000 nails the imagery and stylised fonts of the real logos:If you want some real Pokemon Sword and Shield news, we have you covered – from the two dozen Pokemon already announced to everything we know about the starters Plus, we've broken down the game's first trailer for clues and pulled apart the game's map to find out more about the new Galar region
