to:
** Junpei\\\'s nickname for Chidori is \\\"Chidorita,\\\" which is only one letter off from one of the starter Pokemon (Chikorita) in \\\'\\\'VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver\\\'\\\'. Considering \\\'\\\'Pokemon\\\'\\\' is considered the TropeCodifier of the [[MonsSeries genre]] that \\\'\\\'Shin Megami Tensei\\\'\\\' [[UrExample established]], this is likely not an accident.

I understand that \\\"-ita\\\" is a common suffix, but given this is Atlus we\\\'re talking about, it\\\'s almost assuredly not an accident. Their games are choc-full of Shout Outs and Woolseyisms. Given that the Pokemon G2 games got a fairly recent rerelease, and the connections between the SMT and Pokemon franchises, I think it\\\'s likely intentional. Plus, it\\\'s not in the original P3 or FES, added only in this game which makes it stand out.
