Pokémon
Pokémonis no stranger to referencing other major gum anime series , particularlyNaruto . Its most blatant and flakey computer address , however , took property during theSun & Moonera , with a character named Pikala .
Pikala was a flight simulator who was ghost with Pikachu in particular . She not only dressed like a Pikachu , but owned 12 of Pikachu and live in an expanse know as Pikachu Valley . She even had a shining Pikachu with a Marquise de Pompadour , know as The Boss , who aid to hold the vale from Team Rocket when they attempted to steal the Pikachu . Pikala would afterwards seem again inthe Battle Royale round of the Alola League , where she would play a very distinctive Pikachu as her primary combatant – one known in English as " Bolt . " That understand name does n’t provide the whole account , however .
Pikala’s Pikachu is a Walking Boruto Reference
“Bolt” Has a Closer Tie to Boruto Than You Might Think
The Nipponese romanization of the English word " Bolt " would actually be read as " Bo - ru - to " , since there is no eminence between radius and l sounds in Japanese . Thus , " Bolt " in Japanese is spelled the exact same way of life as Naruto ’s Word ’s name , Boruto . The anime was well mindful of this fact , and gave Bolt the Pikachu a classifiable hairstyle that looks exactly like Boruto ’s hair from that series . Pikala ’s Bolt did n’t fair too well in the tournament , hilariously enough . Bolt was taken out by Jessie ’s Mimikyu , and only managed to egest one opponent , a Magikarp , before that encounter .
Boruto / Bolt the Pikachu just does n’t seem particularly well - train for struggle , with its only known move being Electro Ball . It ’s not clear if this was meant to be some form of barb againstBorutoor just a quotation , but either fashion , it ’s a confusing one . Pokémonisn’t produced by the same studio asBorutoor anything like that , so there ’s no readable grounds why the series would referenceNaruto . It is n’t the first meter , though ; inXY , Ash visit a concealed ninja villagethat was extremely reminiscent ofNaruto , and it even helped his Greninja to evolve .
Why Did Pokémon Reference Boruto, Anyway?
The Most Likely Answer is a Coincidence
There ’s no clear reason whyPokémonwould take to abuse outBorutoat this point ; it ’s probable that someone simply point out the naming coincidence of Bolt / Boruto , and that go to the Pikachu ’s design referencing Boruto ’s own hairstyle . They were n’t particularly interested if the quotation still made sense in other languages , leaving it so that the credit was most down to Bolt ’s coming into court in localized versions .
It ’s pretty rare for Pokémon to be nickname with references in thePokémonanime . Another notable referenceinSun & Moonis Horacio ’s " Red Comet " Charjabug , which is a book of facts to Char Aznable fromMobile Suit Gundam . Often , though , nicknames simply reflect attributes of the Pokémon , such as Lillie ’s Alolan Vulpix , Snowy , or are diminutive of their names , such as James ' Growlithe , Growlie . Nicknames could for certain have been used as references more , so one must wonder : why didPokémonreferenceBorutospecifically ? The world may never have intercourse .
