Pokemones are members of a controversial Chilean teen subculture of the same name. As suggested by the term, Pokemones' group aesthetic includes elements from Japanese pop culture, particularly anime. What makes them controversial, however, is the signature pastime of ponceo: public group sex. According to a March, 2008, Newsweek report, in addition to anime and ponceo, the culture is typified by an interest in androgyny, piercings and electronic gadgets. Newsweek suggests that Pokemones differs from previous youth movements—such as hippie and punk—by its lack of a discernible cause or set of ideals.
