1 | * The place where Maddison Hayes' final "boss battle" was fought was called Coeur Tower. As in [[VideoGame/DigimonWorld2 Core Tower.]] |
2 | ** The three original leaders of Team Liberty also got their codenames from the Guard Teams in Digimon World 2--Gold Hawks, Blue Falcons, and Black Swords (with "Swords" being replaced with "Skull" in Blackskull's case.) |
3 | * Both Sleight and Meghan Vert have ordered their Pokémon using the phrase, [[VideoGame/BioShock1 "Would you kindly x?"]]. |
4 | * Koga's execution of Nemo Buck was deliberately modeled after the plot-relevant assassinations in Franchise/AssassinsCreed. |
5 | * During a training battle between Ray and Sonja, Ray's Dewott used a spinning Aqua Jet attack written in such a way as to invoke the 3D Maneuver Gear from Manga/AttackOnTitan. |
6 | * [[ThePhoenix Ho-Oh's]] [[TheNthDoctor regeneration ability]] was based off of those of [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]]. |
7 | ** On a similar note, a mysterious and slightly grumpy [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]] and [[Characters/DoctorWhoRevivalSeriesCompanions his companion Clara]] treated both Alex Zyther and Amelia Zann's Carvanha "Van"; during the "Summer Wars" arc in Celadon City, the pair vanished into thin air, though Zann's Larvitar Harvey heard a "[[Main/SignatureSoundEffect strange (mechanical) whine like nothing in the world he had ever heard of]]" shortly after said disappearance. |
8 | * Sheik's nickname came from Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda. |
9 | ** Similarly, with [[Film/{{Inception}} Ariadne's]]. |
10 | * The description, "Dark-haired, fire-based baritone [[BadassInANiceSuit In A Nice Suit]], FatherToHisMen military man" could easily apply to either Shadow Admin Sleight or [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Roy Mustang]], although WordOfGod says that this was unintentional. |
11 | * Lafoyae Belrose and Jackson Sang are direct shout outs to Literature/{{Baccano}}, which also inspired the initial stages of the [[TrainJob story arc]] that they were introduced in. |
12 | * [[TheNicknamer Gold]] consistently referred to Ray as [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo]] during the Unova Arc, due to the characters' similar appearances. |
13 | * While investigating the situation in the Celadon Department Store, Ethan orders the group to [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo "Split up. Look for clues."]] |
14 | * [[UnstoppableRage Wrath's]] last words were a direct shout-out to Lust's from Manga/FullmetalAlchemist. |
15 | * Three of Team Zephyr's members have been crafted as expies or blatant references, purely for the sake of [[RuleOfFunny comedy]]. |
16 | ** Skyler's mannerisms and appearance are a straight-up expy of [[{{Franchise/ScoobyDoo}} Shaggy Rogers]], complete with a team consisting of a Houndoom named Scooby-Doom, an Ursaring named Teddy Jones, a Klingklang named Velma Klinkly, and a Swanna named Daphne [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Duck.]] |
17 | ** Skylark is obsessed with music, has a brother named Chip, and is part of a band with said brother called the [[{{WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents}} Chipped Skylarks]]. |
18 | ** Skye's Pokémon are all named after superheroes. So far she's obtained The Human Torchic, Spinarak-Man, and Zubatman. |
19 | * Soil Colossus, Inc.'s entire organization was one big shout out to [[{{Website/Smogon}} Smogon's]] CAP project Collossoil. |
20 | * The introduction of the Pokémon Rangers to Sootopolis, showing them descending toward the city from helicopters on the backs of their Flying-Type Pokémon, was a direct reference to the Volume 2 opening from {{WebAnimation/RWBY}} |
21 | ** Quentin Dallas's appearance is also directly based off of Roman Torchwick's. Their mannerisms aren't far off from one another, either. |
22 | * James and Guinevere apparently once lived in the same orphanage as the [[{{Film/TheBluesBrothers}} Blues Brothers]], if Celadon is actually Chicago. |
