Don't know if any of this actually means anything, but still.
I like this

>N
>has a dark type cat as his only mon when you first battle him in B/W
more evidence for that theory if it's still relevant
Giovanni is obviously italian. Nanu is part of the Alolan royalty.
Doesn't work.
>>30460773
Didn't N let it go? Because you know, that's his thing?
>>30460791
>Italian
>In Japan
Also I wasn't really implying they were blood related or anything, but there are parallels
>>30460860
I sure love those Japanese characters from Kanto.
>>30460812
I suppose he would've
Still kind of a link I guess
Not like Purrloin evolves into Persian anyway
>>30461595
Back when Red/Blue came out, I always thought this guy was a relative of Guile from Street Fighter.
>>30461595
K but we have US military bases in Japan, it makes a little sense
>>30460791
Giovanni isn't Italian. He's a Japanese Yakuza boss.
Shit guys...
Is Nanu...
Alolan Giovanni?
>>30461909
>we
What division did you serve in m8?
>>30461809
literally the only reason N had the shitty cat is because it's available in that route. When you fight him near the desert, he has desert pokemon, etc.
>>30461595Indian Elephant
>>30462038
maybe he's half italian
giovanni isn't a japanese name
>>30463496
His name in the original is just Sakaki. No hint of anything Italian.
>>30461595
Didn't he actually addressed America or something?
>>30463961
It Unova now
>>30460656
Not actually Acerola's uncle.
>>30460656
Giovanni wasn't relate to Persian though except anime-pandering Yellow. Only non-ground type he ever use are Kangaskhan and Honchkrow.
A cop training dark types makes perfect sense since they're professionals trained to deal with bad guys and troublemakers.
>>30462038
So how come Jessie and James still have all their fingers?
>>30460656
When i First saw him i thought he was AZ who became Short for some reason, it kinda looks like him
He's not Acerola's actual uncle you dip
>>30462080
Are you retarded? We is used perfectly in that sentence. We pay taxes, we fund our military, we build bases.
Shut the fuck up and take your shitty memes elsewhere
>>30461595
That's why he's the sole character to be blatantly stated as foreign like most foreign characters in Japanese works.
>>30460656
>Persian as his signature mon
in the anime
