The Pokefam is a group of people that originated on deviantART. It stands for "Pokemon Family".

It's a pretty well known group of people among the Tumblr Pokespe fanbase. They're a casual circle of friends and acquaintances that rampage around the Pokemon RP groups and Pokespe tag with frequent hilarity and skepticism over other posters in said tag.

They aren't as active as they were a year ago but one can remember their comedic routines that occurred every morning on the dashboard.
John: Oh man there's that group again. Making yet another revival by posting a ton of ooc comics of Pokespe characters...

Karen: Oh, you mean the Pokefam?

John: Yeah! Them! They're practically everywhere when they're all on and active!

Karen: Yeah... It's a shame they don't do stuff like this as much as they used to. I actually used to look forward to checking tumblr every morning when they were around.

Words you can keep
The act of causing injury or death to oneself, or to another person/group of people, while playing Pokémon Go. This occurs when the Pokémon Go player is so engrossed in the game, they are completely unaware of their surroundings.
Jerry: "Yo! You hear about the guy who stepped in front of a train while playing Pokémon Go?"

Rod: "Yeah man! Pokéfail all the way! You hear about that chick who crashed her car into the Children's Cancer Hospital? She was driving and playing Pokémon Go at the same time!"

Jerry: "Mega pokéfail, dude! Hey, did you hear about the AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Jerry and Rod died that day falling off a cliff while playing Pokémon Go. Super pokéfail!!!

Pokéfan

Some Pokéfans are called "Genwunners" by fellow members of the fandom because of their love of the first generation games such as Red, Blue (originally known as Pokemon Red and Green in Japan) and Yellow.

Pokefapper

since most furry characters look more human than Gardevoir, who in turn is the most human looking Pokemon, the Pokefappers will be shunned by all, even furfags.

Are you happy now? ARE YA!?
WELL SINCE GARDEVOIR IS NEITHER AN ANIMAL OR A FURRY SHE MUST BE POKEFAPPER MATERIAL!

Pokécamper 

A term for NPC trainers that camp out in spots where a player character cannot avoid them, such as hiding behind a corner on a one-way path through a gym. This can be especially irritating for an impatient player trying to speedrun the game.
The player reached Mistralton Gym and began to make his way to battle Skyla for a Jet Badge. Trying to run into as few trainers as possible, the player navigated his way through a torrent of obstacles that were the result of yet another mentally insane Gym Leader's fetish gone awry.

Player: "What the hell is with all these cannons? Anyway, I hope this next one takes me straight to my Jet Badge."

The player was then jettisoned over to a landing area marked with parallel red lines, where a trainer was waiting for him.

Player: "Son of a bitch, fucking pokécamper!"

Worker Brady: "I'm making preparations to fly ever higher!"

Player: "I think your high enough."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
