Pokémon Special: Difference between revisions

** The Unova film director bears an uncanny resemblance to Kusaka himself.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Seriously, who ''wouldn't'' love to be named Gold, Silver or Platinum? Black and Diamond are also pretty cool names.

** {{spoiler|As well as Guile Hideout/Archie, though he was just missing and presumed dead.}}

* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Played straight in this [http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_32/Pokemon-Adventures-v32-c358---034 page in volume 32.]

** In HGSS, Bugsy looks even ''more'' feminine.

* [[Dub Name Change]]: The rival is Green. The girl is Blue. But in the published English version, this is reversed because of the way the Blue and Green version were released as one, making the default name for the first gen's rival Blue.

** There's some trouble with the manga-exclusive characters who of course have no English name. Some go with Coronis's translations while others go with Chuang Yi's. Though Chuang Yi is technically the "official" version, they have given new names to characters that ''did'' actually have official English names. Many stick to Coronis's as his translations are much more faithful.

** Viz getting back in the game as a third (and second "official") translation could complicate matters.

** The Sinnoh Trio started their journey on September 28th, the day the ''Diamond and Pearl'' games were released in Japan. The Viz translators caught on to the reference and changed it to April 22nd, the day the games were released in America. However, this shows that Viz doesn't read ahead, as of this point of the story winter is rapidly approaching Sinnoh, necessitating the change into the ''Platinum'' outfits. Apparently in Sinnoh, it starts snowing in May.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: ''Tons.''

* [[Mythology Gag]]: The FR/LG arc opens on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfai1op9xS8 a fight between a Gengar and a Nidorino].

** Blue is also a [[Mythology Gag]] to a then unreleased female protagonist. Considering the timing of the manga, she was put into it way after she was canceled.

** At the Goldenrod Game Corner, someone is playing Pokemon Pinball.

** Todd is given a job to take pictures at ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'''s Pokémon Island.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Blue's parents. Maybe. {{spoiler|We don't know how visible Deoxys's black holes are. Blue saw one of them clearly even without her Silph Scope, though...why didn't they see ''that?'' Or their daughter in a weird and unnatural pose? ''What were they thinking?!''}}

** Potentially justified, {{spoiler|their daughter was missing for 11 years, maybe presumed dead, to find out that she's ''right there'', the entire world may've just disappeared to them}}.

* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: How {{spoiler|Black and White part ways at Nimbasa}}.

* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: Red's Pikachu during the Yellow arc.
