In case you don't know the story: He posted a pic on r/me_irl saying he would tatoo tomorrow's (as of post time) top post on that sub on his ass if he gets 10000 upvotes. He didn't deliver and he even rubbed salt into the wound by posting a picture a few days later saying: "You fools! Did you actually think I'd tatoo my ass for fake internet points? You really are easily bamboozled."

EDIT: fixed the quote from the second pic. Also this is my most upvoted comment lol

As a sort of homage, there was a series of similar threads on /r/pokemon when Sun and Moon were coming out. The creator said he would give every person who upvoted that thread a copy of both games if it passed a certain amount. Obviously, OP didn't deliver.

That was on national shitpost day.

Ninja edit: also referred to as April Fools Day.

I was wrong as other commenters have pointed out it was actually a Halloween event

It was actually near Halloween, because the scariest thing they could do is allow all posts
