Following their discharge from their respective divisions, they headed to Chuncheon for a special event where they were warmly welcomed by fans, surrounded by cheers and applause. The event was filled with heartwarming moments, and one that stole the show was when RM and V recreated viral memes, bringing smiles to fans' faces on social media. At the event, RM played the saxophone, picking the tunes of the Case Closed (Detective Conan) soundtrack for his performance. Many social media users were reminded of a meme featuring Pokémon character Squirtle playing a saxophone.

RM and V enlisted in December 2023. They served as members of the 15th Infantry Division Military Army Band and the II Corps Special Duty Team, respectively. "To all the ARMYs who have waited for us in the military, I want to say I am truly, truly grateful. Please wait just a little longer, and we will return with a really cool performance," V said in front of fans and media. After RM and V, Jimin and Jungkook will also be discharged on June 11. Suga will be the last BTS member to be discharged from military service. He will be discharged on June 21.

'I need this': Fans react as Lego and Pokémon announce new partnership starting in 2026
USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. Get ready to not only catch 'em all, but build 'em all next year. Lego and Pokémon announced on Tuesday that they have entered a multi-year partnership to bring "Lego Pokémon" to life in 2026. The announcement doesn't share details about the partnership, whether folks can expect Pokémon building sets; a Lego Pokémon video game; or limited edition playing cards, but fans have already begun to speculate. Instead, a short teaser video featuring a Pikachu tail made of Lego bricks bounces across the screen. "I need this, I need this," TikTok user Eric Bricks said in a video on Tuesday. "I can already see this theme selling like hot cakes. We know how crazy Pokémon fans are." With the news hot off the presses, here's what we know so far about the Lego and Pokémon partnership. As of Tuesday, Lego and Pokémon's announcement remains quite vague for what their "multi-year partnership" includes. Fans are encouraged to check in on the Lego Pokémon website for updates at Lego Pokémon will be released in 2026, the companies shared. No, Lego has not made Pokémon building sets before. Up until now, popular Pokémon buildable sets have almost exclusively been created and sold by Mattel under the company's Mega Bloks brand. Lego and Pokémon fans alike have taken to social media to share their excitement for the collaboration. "I have lost count of the amount of times people have asked me what my dream Lego theme would be and I always answer the same way: 'Pokémon. Give me Pokémon.' And it's finally happening," TikTok user Block Party UK said in a video sharing the news. TikTok user cjBricklz, a Lego ambassador, said he hopes the brands release each of the first generation Pokémon (think Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle) as brick-build characters. "I think those would be some amazing 18+ sets and I would spend hundreds on those," cjBricklz said in his video. The Pokémon collaboration isn't the first time Lego has dipped its toes in the video game waters. Over the years, Lego has released Super Mario Bros., The Legend the Zelda, Minecraft and Animal Crossing sets. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY.

I Made Some Realistic Crochet Pokémon Using My Generator — Think You Can Do Better?
Hot Topic 🔥 See what other people are creating on Make Yours Happy National Pokémon Day! I recently made a crochet generator, and tons of people have been using it to create crochet Pokémon — so, of course, I had to try it myself. In honor of this momentous holiday, I stitched together 15 Pokémon, and while some turned out adorable, others… not so much. Think you can do better? Let's find out! 1. Pikachu This was the easiest one to crochet, and honestly? It turned out perfect. No way you can top this — prove me wrong. 2. Bulbasaur 3. Squirtle Squirtle's got attitude, but my crochet version? Maybe a little too soft. I dare you to make a fiercer one! 4. Charmander 5. Eevee Honestly? This one came out adorable. The fluff, the ears — perfection. But hey, if you think you can make a cuter one, be my guest. 6. Snorlax This turned out pretty decent, but let's be real — Snorlax is all about the vibes. Can you make one that's even comfier? 7. Gengar I literally tried Gengar like 10 times, and I almost nailed the face… but the body? Yeah, that's another story. If you can fix this, I need to see it. 8. Clefairy I don't know what happened here, but my Clefairy came out completely armless. Maybe it's using Metronome to summon some hands? Either way, I need someone to fix this. You in? 9. Ditto 10. Slowpoke I don't even know what happened here. This is easily my worst one. Slowpoke deserves better — much better. Please, someone fix this. 11. Mr. Mime I thought Slowpoke was bad, but then I crocheted this nightmare. Mr. Mime was already creepy, but somehow, I made it so much worse. If you can fix this, you have my respect (and maybe my fear). 12. Cubone I mean… it tried. The little skull hat is kinda cute, but let's be real — it's not quite right. Cubone deserves better. Think you can perfect it? 13. Porygon Porygon is one of my all-time favorites, and this was the best I could do. But I know someone out there can make a better one. Prove me right! 14. Bellsprout This one turned out mostly okay … except for the extra legs. Not sure what kind of mutation happened here, but hey, maybe you can fix it? 15. Mew Last but maybe not least, I had to include a legendary, and honestly? Mew turned out pretty weird. Is it legendary-level crochet? Probably not. Think you can make it even better? Alright, I've shown you mine — now it's time to show me yours! Use my crochet generator, down below, to stitch up your own Pokémon, then drop your results in the comments. I wanna see if yours turn out better (or somehow worse) than mine… and yes, I will be judging.
