Where does the “Goomy” meme come from?

Goomy appeared in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, released for Nintendo 3DS in October 2013. The earliest documented signs of its popularity date to October 3, 2013, when game screenshots and information circulated on the Smogon forums, 4chan’s Pokémon board /vp/, and the r/Pokemon subreddit. Reported reactions were largely positive, helped by Goomy’s soft, gelatinous look and its contrast with Pokémon considered cooler. On October 4, the r/ChurchOfGoomy subreddit and its associated Facebook page were created. Two days later, Tumblr blogs devoted to Goomy Q&A and fan art appeared. The available sources do not trace its popularity to a specific video, show, or person; instead, it grew through online discussions, images, and fan creations.
