    Wobbuffet is based after the japanese comedian Sanpei Hayashiya, who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, "そうなんす、奥さん" (sō nansu, okusan), "That's the way it is, ma'am."
    Which Wobbuffet's japanese name makes allusion to (ソーナンス Sonans). Basically every time Wobbuffet appeared after Team Rocket's motto in the anime, was complimenting their words with a "That's the way it is".

    • @entrcpy
      @entrcpy 4 года назад +1

      a a2 you’re both correct (sorta). Since we don’t have tanuki in the USA, it’s a localization thing. Like how the Pokémon anime called the rice balls (onigiri) donuts. That’s because onigiri aren’t as common here and kids wouldn’t get it. Animal crossing actively calls tanuki and items related to them “raccoons” because it’s easier for Americans to understand.

    Now, the Bruce Lee/Hitmonlee vs Jackie Chan/Hitmonchan fight. This one has some things that must be known to be anywhere close to being accurately determined
    The main thing that must be known: status of Jackie Chan; is he completely unencumbered and ready to fight to the end in mortal combat (not Kombat, let's leave that out of this this time around)?
    Or is he, instead, holding a baby in one arm, a priceless fragile vase in the other, while heavily drunk, in a furniture store, with added ladders/mops/buckets/rope around, and he wants *_no trouble_* ?
    Because if the latter, this is a _really_ tough call to make
