# Charizard And Dragonite Dance Remixes Charizard And Dragonite Dance Remixes are a series of edited videos where the two Pokémon perform a synchronized MikuMikuDance routine to different pop songs. The format started in August 2016 with a J-Pop original and quickly spread to Twitter as fans swapped the audio for tracks like Ariana Grande's Into You and the Village People's YMCA. ## Overview Charizard And Dragonite Dance Remixes are short loops of the two Pokémon performing a matching MikuMikuDance routine, with fans swapping the background music so the pair appears to hit the beat of whatever song is dubbed over them[1]. The joke is that the animation's timing is loose enough to sync convincingly with almost any track, from J-Pop to disco[3]. Most versions run about fifteen to thirty seconds, keep the original camera angle on the two dragons, and change only the audio. The format sits alongside other 2016 dance-loop edits, but the Pokémon pairing gave it a built-in fandom on Twitter and Tumblr[2]. ## How It Spread Pokémon Brasil and other international fan pages reposted the video with new soundtracks, and by mid-August 2016 Twitter users were dubbing it over pop songs at a steady clip[2]. Ashley Feinberg's edit set to Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas helped push the format into wider circulation, and versions using Ariana Grande's Into You, YMCA and the You Reposted In The Wrong Neighborhood audio followed within days[1]. Gaming and general-interest press picked it up almost immediately. Polygon ran a rundown crediting the Twitter accounts driving the trend[2], The Verge framed it as the tip of a broader dancing-Pokémon wave[1], and Slate collected side-by-side edits showing the dragons staying on beat across genres[3]. CollegeHumor added its own supercut arguing the loop worked with basically any song[5]. After that late-August 2016 burst the remixes settled into a recurring Pokémon-fandom bit, resurfacing whenever a new song lends itself to the loop's timing[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Charizard And Dragonite Dance Remixes?
