References within Reborn

[AndrewErblak]

Although now removed in the latest ep there was a small boy near the train in the middle of the Spinal Town that when ever you talked to him would simply say: "I like trains." This could had been a reference to the ASDF movies where a characters only says those exact words. SO now I'm wondering, any other references that you've come across in the game so far?

Well, the game corner has a couple:

The way the NPCs there describe the multiplayer games makes it sound strikingly like Leauge of Legends

There's a girl there who talks about this cool fangame called "Pokemon Reborn"

And the fact that the Lottery woman is another color than the others, that color happening to be white, and her name HAPPENING to be Rarity, I'm not sure that's just a coincidence.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but when Cain randomly starts singing, the lyrics are actually from openings of the Pokemon Anime. Or at least, some of them are, because I definitely recognized them.

Also, in a couple encounters with Team Meteor (all of them optional), they have this motto that you know would've never been written if it wasn't for Team Rocket's role in the Anime.

You are correct. Ame has all of Cain's "singing moments" transpire from the anime show. I can personally confirm this as I partially work with the game as well at times. owo

The "trains" thing could also be a reference to FFVIII where one of the protagonist says the exact same words

Attack on Titan near the Grand Stairway

The Last Airbender, also frick with me heart strings, Charolette's Gym

[krim]

There's a fisherman on Apophyll Beach who only uses grimer. He says "One Grime to Rule Them All" when you battle him, referencing one of the names for the One Ring in Lord of the Rings.

How about the whole TPP cult in 7th street? That was fun.

Oh, and though I haven't seen it in the game, check the Rainbow Field Effects for some good laffs.

I remember one: the Gandalf Team Meteor Grunt. The one who says "You shall not pass!"

The text with Samson when he both hits the bell and during the gym battle of "over 9,000".

[TurboAura]

Well, first off there's the 'Lord Goomy' clown, the obvious 'everything changed when the Magma Gang attacked' joke, Radomus makes enough references that need not be named, 'Rare Candies' being made into 'hard to get, non-sellable, growth skipping' drugs, and The 'evil cult' joke in El.

[Etesian]

No mention of the Helix Order? I'm disappointed.

You can also make it happen yourself, and if you do you get a TM as a prize.

If you have a power level of over 9000 you get the TM Swagger, I did facepalm badly when I saw it.

Why can't we quote people's quoting? Man, I shouldn't be posting at 3 AM.

Further, since I doubt most people will notice, one of the lines when you get TM87 is a reference to Shofu's rap song of the same name.

There are countless LoL references, just hit the game corner up and people will be talking about how "the servers are offline" and "I was about to by a new champion" ect.

[WanderoftheColossus]

Also in the grand pokemon center where you start out a woman sitting there will recite different lyrics with each episode, except for this last one, the lyrics are the same which are from D City Rock from Panty and Stocking, others that i can remember off the top of my head are Lykke Li lyrics (which made me outrageously happy because I love Lykke Li) and others.

[Revman]

I found two awesome references:

First one: Borderlands

Outside the Appophyl Academy grounds where you first meet Kiki, there's a girl called "Battle girl Tina" who directly references the character "Tiny Tina" from Borderlands.

Second one: Avatar the last airbender

In Charlotte's gym there is a character called "Elder Iroh" who references the song Iroh sings in Avatar "Brave soldier boy" (I think that's the name anyway, the one Iroh sings whilst mourning his Son)

[Red'sCharizard]

In the Grand Hall (or whatever the main building in the Opal Ward is called), there's a Youngster who uses Squirtle, Wartortle and 2 Blastoise, all shiny. The shiny forms all look like TMNT, and the Youngster himself says "Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles!"

[mashonem]

The one that stood out to me was Cain singing My Best Friend

[Foamy]

When the player first encounters Terra, she swings her hammer and yells "

!!!!!!", a reference to Skullgirls character Cerebella. Edited September 29, 2014 by Foamy

[Antares]

Nobody noticed when Charlotte told Cain "you're just an average Disney princess aren't you?" Dude has a passion for the music and singing in an extremely high pitch I guess.
