Pikachu Named "Boruto" In Recent Pokemon Ep is Actually a Reference to BORUTO

animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-07-10/boruto-makes-cameo-in-pokemon-sun-and-moon-anime/.148794

>Pokémon Sun & Moon has celebrated classic anime series and cast members' careers with on screen homages. Now it appears to be time for more recent anime to get a shout out in Pokémon. A Pikachu named "Boruto" appears in episode 129 "Dairantō! Battle Royal 151!!" (Big Brawl! Battle Royal 151!!) with an identical hair style to a certain yellow-haired ninja. The episode debuted on Sunday.

>The Pikachu Boruto appears to be cheerful and cocky, much like the eponymous protagonist of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Unfortunately, he doesn't have long in the limelight, as he is immediately KO-ed by Mimikyu within seconds of his appearance.

>The Pokémon Sun & Moon anime series premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliated stations in Japan in November 2016. The Boruto: Naruto Next Generations television anime series premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo in April 2017. The anime is based on Ukyō Kodachi and Mikie Ikemoto's Boruto sequel manga, which launched in Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2016.

cool story, aniki

Literally who cares?
Pokemon the anime is a show for babies. Naruto is a show for babies.
Only babies would care.
Also, stop the fucking presses! Somebody made a reference!

When your anime is so shitty you need another shitty but popular anime to shill for you.

Sneed

I know Pokemon has been using referential humor since season 01, but it always somehow manages to catch me off guard. The shear amount of blatant references in Sun and Moon is insane.

Now that Ash is competing in another league championship, how is he going to fuck it up this time?

Next guy he faces will have an Arceus .

It's funny though. Despide agreeing with you, on SM being a toddler's anime, I don't think a baby can get references to Ganba no boken or Revolutionary Girl Utena. Heh.

Hell, the majority of these references are going over kid's heads. It's clearly meant for the adult/parents watching with the kids.

Absolutely based taste

why

The joke is that they're all voiced by Megumi Hayashibara. Who is famous for only ever voicing best girls.

They decided that rather than recycle the same stale shounen anime cycle they've been doing for years, that they should instead have actual legitimate fun.

no Sailor moon, Hokuto no ken or DBZ?

>I dont but let me just bump my shitty shill thread just before page 10

They got G Gundam at least.

We definitely need more TR episodes and stop pushing them as villains.

Is that a popteamepic reference?

Yes

Holy shit now that is obscure.

Keep posting. I don't follow the show, but this new(?) way looks promising.

SM humor is definitely very japanese.

Man, they REALLY wanna keep that long running joke of pokemon being attracted to James for whatever reason.

Team Rocket literally has more HP than all Pokemon combined. People really sell Pikachu short for being able to deal with these monsters. They could probably survive camping in Australia without a damn tent.

I dropped it around the Aether arc. Should I pick it back up?

They all know James is best boy. Team Rocket in general tend to have some of the sweetest and closest relationships to their pokemon.

is that an Initial D reference!!

definitely not.

Is burrito worth watching

the pokemon only love him because he's rich fuck thots

Where are the JoJo references though?

>ANN

>pokemon referencing classic anime
and yet people say that modern pokemon has no soul

Sun and Moon league sucks. Nobody is allowed to use more than 1 Pokemon. Who cares

References are funny~

what's a series that doesn't rely on any reference humor whatsoever

A good one.

please point me to a good show that doesn't rely on references

For some reason I really like it when Team Rocket handles Pokedex descriptions with their guidebooks

best pokemon series ever, I only skipped one episode because it was literally filler with pokemon trying to find Ash in the woods.

>tfw not a pikagirl

a show you didn't understood

Pokemon SM is based AF for doing the G Gundam reference

>based AF
Hey buddy I think you got the wrong site, facebook's two blocks down

Pokemon was referencing Utena back before it was a classic
I mean literally while it was airing

I really like that too for some reason
Its kinda cute

>Boruto is actually a reference to Boruto
Who would have thought.

Is that a wig

Nice

I can you resist a fap to this?

Yes.

>new episodes of pokemon is still a thing
Well, learn something new every day

How can you*

>he is immediately KO-ed by Mimikyu within seconds of his appearance.
Good.

Damn this fag seems triggered as hell.

was that a Gremlins 2 reference?

Wait, Tobias chad is in this shit as well?

"Hey! I understood that reference"

Hmmm... made you think

Go back to Yea Forums

Are they this desperate to make burrito relevant

>koed within seconds
Shots fucken fired. Boruto manga adaptation delayed as anime launches into new pokemon parody arc.

>Pikachu Named "Boruto" In Recent Pokemon Ep is Actually a Reference to BORUTO.:
What the fuck? I thought it was a Simpsons reference with pikachu being yellow and bort sounding like bart.
