But it's not based off of Jackie Chan retard. That's just his English name.

Quick, /v/, name your 3 favourite pokemon without using the words "Jackie Chan".

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be old timey boxing shorts, but someone accidentally interpreted it as a dress, and eventually the dress design became the official one

what the shit are you talking about? His localized name was based on Jackie Chan. His conception was not, you dumb fuck.

With that said, Hitmonchan's actual Japanese name is Ebiwalar
This was based on the Japanese World Champion Boxer Hiroyuki Ebihara.
