Nintendo fans when they're forced to learn about Street Fighter

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

The Street Fighter series has been released on Nintendo systems, 2 was on the SNES and 4 was on the 3DS. Big L on the haters.

[@hhjan594]

"Boy and his Lapras" was actually a song in the Pokemon Adventures manga. It is heavily implied in the GSC saga of the manga, a song made by Professor Oak, Agatha, the daycare couple, and Kurt when they were young and still friends. They made this song for Pryce, who lost his beloved Lapras in a tragedy when he was young. That song was recently covered by DJ Mary and became a hit when the manga story take place. I get anyone who didn't read the manga will never get this reference, but the Lapras and boy thing just clicked with me immediately when I saw this. I am very sure this quote is actually referencing this song in the manga because this song actually ties the whole Gold/Silver/Crystal manga arc up.

[@penguin_reader_yt9510]

same! i think the manga came out before HG/SS as well, so they might have put it in as a manga refrence

[@zroshroud1275]

It might actually reference Laplace ni Notte too, Pokemon's Ending Song for the Orange Islands Arc. It is literally all about riding Lapras to travel. Which is the most likely reference

[@eglol]

Then I wonder if ash riding on a Lapras is just because it's a ride pokemon or if it's a reference to the manga that probably wasn't even out yet or even written and also therefore the game where that dialogue wasn't even written yet.

[@hhjan594]

@@eglol At least I don't think this was a reference in the original Gold/Silver, only in the remakes.

[@8-bitblitz]

Bonus fact: in Pokémon masters a piece of dialogue from a rising star confirms that rising stars also become ace trainers

[@hhjan594]

Speaking of Code names, here's one that non-Japanese speaker will never get. The codename for BDSP is "dolphin". People were actually suspecting a new dolphin pokemon when this code name came out, but nope. The only reason it got this codename is that in Japanese, Dolphin is called イルカ, pronounces as "Iruka". If you couldn't figure it out at this point, it sounds hilariously similar to ILCA, which is the company that made BDSP. That is the only reason it got this code name.

[@DrPOP-jp7eb]

Nice one

[@akiradkcn]

Lmao, they trolled the fans

[@OliverSalz]

that's also funny because the codename of the gamecube was "Dolphin", too.

Here's one for Sword and Shield that I find rather amusing. The Region in Sword and Shield, Galar, means 'disease' when translated from Irish.

Another thing about the tourist trainer class in x&y is that france, kalos's inspiration, is the most popular European tourist destination for japanese people. It comes in second overall, with hawaii being the first, and there are even cases of Japanese people having heart attacks due to france not being as perfect and idyllic as portrayed in media. To sum up, japanese people really love france, specifically Paris

[@ThrE3-GeS]

Idealic? That’s not even an english word. Are you german? I can see you anglicizing the word idealerweise or idealistisch. The correct word though is idealistic ;)

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

[@andrewmillett2028]

In GEN five there is a place near here or before the fourth gym, where a bunch of people are speaking different languages. This is an Easter egg to the future regions of the game, French, Spanish, and what I think will be gen 10 as German.

Oh those classic Street Fighter characters: Rai-oh, Kehn, Kuhn-lie, and Beesawn. Guile is even a normal English word!

[@GustavoJua15]

Out of game/meta, the foreign building is actually a reference to churches that the Russians built in Hokkaido (inspiration for Sinnoh itself).

[@dippin4dots]

The Guile pronunciation absolutely killed me lmaooo, not to sound rude

[@PredictedCyborg]

My headcanon is that parts of the Galaxy Hall were used in the construction of the Foreign Building now. Like, years down the line descendants of the people we meet in Legends Arc set up the place that would become Hearthome, including some of Sanqua's own descendants. The Galaxy Hall might have been rebuilt or something by then, and so to commemorate their roots some of the old stones were brought along and used in the foundations of the Foreign Building - which in early Hearthome could have been akin to what the Galaxy Hall was in Legends Arc, a kind of central building where the leaders and other important departments in the management of the new settlement were located. Then later down the line it got reworked as a church-type sort of building for the use of the descendants of the Pearl and Diamond Clans who still had a few ties back to their past reverence of 'almighty Sinnoh'. idk. xD

[@gretahhounshell3061]

Is that where the team 'Rainbow Rocket' in USUM got it's name- because Hawaii is known as the 'Rainbow State'? (Or am I reading way into this?)

[@hhjan594]

The Battle Zone fact is pretty possible. In fact, I believe that Island is still considered Russian territory, but Japan also claims it too right now. Although Virbanck City obviously got its name from Burbank, it is very clear that it's not based on the real world Burbank geographically. The Unova region only includes a small part of the US around NY City, so there's no way we can fit California in it. The location of Virbank City is more likely to be Jersey City in real life, considering there is the Virbank Complex that resembles the industrial facilities around there.

[@Mr_Cheng]

The painting also seems to resemble the cover for Legends Arceus. I see extreme similarity in them.

Thee worst pick for Gen 1 for an Easter egg.. From Gen 1 I still think the best Easter egg is the girl out side rock tunnel mentioning Munna 12 years prior to black and white coming out.

[@sophiecooke2839]

I know that Togekiss was introduced in Pokemon DPPT and is present in the Legends Arceus game. But what if it came from Galar? It seems like a bit of a stretch but hear me out. Togekiss is known as the Jubilee Pokemon and like previously mentioned, was introduced in the DPPT games. Pokemon SwSh was introduced 4 generations later and is based in Britain. Here in Britain we have our monarch, Queen Elizabeth II who has ruled for quite some time with various jubilees. This year even, she's celebrating 70 years on the throne, her Platinum Jubilee if you will. Even though the release of Diamond and Pearl was 4 years after the Queen's 50 years on the throne, the introduction of Togekiss could have been a nod to the future, especially with the Olympics in 2012 being held in the UK, coinciding with the Queen celebrating 60 years on the throne (albeit 6 years later).

You've gotta be trolling with your pronunciation of Guile for interaction so people like me and I'm sure many others comment on it. I mean Street Fighter is pretty well known and Guile is one of the better known characters. Plus it's an actual word not just a name of the character and pronounced the same way

[@Nixnotmation]

ok so first i wanna just clarify that its pronounced guyle the reason i bring this up is because the character guile is also a reference as guile's design was inspired by polnareff from jojo's bizarre adventure part 3 stardust crusaders and guile's name comes from polnareff's archnemesiss J.geil (Which is a reference to the J.geil's band) so technically you can thank Jojo and J.geiil's band for Lt surge even existing

In every game In the end of the classic saga, we got Black and White 2, which are not only pretty polished games... but they also include the PWT, which feels like a recap of the complete classic saga of Pokemon. Maybe Gen 10 will be similar and Gen 11 and onwards will change these games pretty drastically again.
