SNL's Michael Che creates own Pokemon game to try and 'catch' ethnic minorities at Republican Convention

'Catch 'em all. Get 'em outta here'

Comedians are having the time of their lives at the moment, material falling upon their laps from all corners of the world. UK politics, for instance, has become a treasure trove for jokes, especially now with Boris Johnson as foreign secretary, the Labour Party in turmoil, and Nigel Farage.

Meanwhile, in the US, the ensuing Presidential campaigns by Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump have meant Late Night hosts don’t have to dig too far to come up with hilarious routines.

The recent Republican convention was a particularly easy target to mock, mainly in thanks to Melania Trump and her ‘plagerised’ speech; Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and James Corden were all quick to ridicule the First Lady contender.

SNL had a slightly different take on the convention. One of their comedians, Michael Che, took to the conventions floor with a new game, Trumpemon Go, a spoof of the latest internet craze, Pokémon Go, that saw Che attempt to “catch the rarest creature of them all: minorities at the RNC."

The game even had its own tagline, playing off both Pokémon and Trumps: "Catch 'em all. Get 'em outta here."

Trump caused controversy at the convention by using the song ’We Will Be Champions’. The songs usage angered the band Queen who claimed it was an ‘unauthorised’ use of their song.
