Line #13 ShoutOut/PokemonClefairyTales


1	It's natural that these [[FanFic/PokemonClefairyTales Clefairy Tales]] have [[ShoutOut obvious references to other franchises and the like]].
2
3	* There could only be [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld one game]] described in the very first paragraph of the first chapter that Leaf is playing on her SNES.
4	* Being an unrepentant Moonie, the author likes to shout out to Franchise/SailorMoon quite a bit.
5	** Upon receiving her Clefairy, Leaf wonders if Professor Oak thinks she's Franchise/SailorMoon.
6	** The team of Magical Girls fighting Team Rocket on Mt. Moon is loosely based on [[Franchise/SailorMoon the Sailor Soldiers]].
7	** Apart from being revealed to be a Moonie herself in chapter 11, Misty also emulates Franchise/SailorMoon's iconic pose when challenging the plainclothes Rocket at the end of the Nugget Bridge, complete with a parody of her classic InTheNameOfTheMoon sequence (stopping short of the actual InTheNameOfTheMoon line and accompanying pose, of course).
8	** Leaf's Pikachu shares her name with Sailor Jupiter no matter the dub (the Japanese version uses Makoto, the English/French versions use [[DubNameChange Lita]]).
9	* Red nicknamed his Charmander "Film/{{Gojira}}".
10	* Some of the nicknames Leaf gives her Pokémon are also references, including those for her Spearow (Franchise/{{Terminator}}) and Pikachu ([[Franchise/SailorMoon Lita]]).
11	* [[Creator/GeorgeLucas 1138]] is the number on the device Leaf receives from Nurse Joy.
12	* The first thing Clefairy and Pikachu say upon receiving the ability to speak human language? "[[WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman Happy birthday!]]"
13	* Pikachu is particularly prone to speaking in them at times. Examples from the Mt. Moon arc include:
14	** [[Film/ApocalypseNow I just love the smell of fried Zubat in the evening-pika! It smells like victory-pika!]]
15	** [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place-pika.]]
16	** [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane I have had it with you Mankey-fighting Zubat in this Monday-to-Friday cave-pika!]][[note]]Per WordOfGod, it probably would've been "I have had it with you motherfucking Zubat in this motherfucking cave-pika!", except "Mankey-fighting" sounded better for a Franchise/{{Pokemon}} fic, plus he doesn't want to raise the rating.[[/note]]
17	* The first Rocket grunt Leaf faces refers to her Clefairy's ability to use Water Gun as [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender waterbending]].
18	* In chapter 8, upon encountering a Paras, Leaf mentions the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mushroom]] and its effects.
19	* The Raticate Rocket, upon summoning his [[BossInMookClothing damn-near infamous]] Raticate, shouts, "[[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Say 'ello ta me liddle frien'!]]"
20	* In chapter 14, not only is the [[ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish Swordfish scene]] from ''Film/{{Horsefeathers}}'' referenced, Leaf is also warned about videocassettes and videodiscs containing programs about [[Film/ReservoirDogs jewelry heists]], [[Film/PulpFiction mysterious diamond-filled briefcases]], [[Franchise/LupinIII master thieves]], and [[Manga/UruseiYatsura aliens from outer space]], as a SelfDeprecation of the author's trademark ReferenceOverdosed syndrome. [[Franchise/StarWars Basic]] is also mentioned to be the lingua franca of the Pokémon world.
21	* Erika's dress in the S.S. Anne episodes is a dead ringer for Cinderella's blue dress in [[Film/{{Cinderella 2015}} Disney's 2015 film adaptation]].
