Earl
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Earl in Pokémon Stadium 2
Earl is notable for changing the order of the words in his sentences, somewhat like Yoda from Star Wars, although his grammar is generally incorrect. For example, when asking a potential student if they want to learn from him, he will ask, "What you want to know? Want to be a winner is you?" This may be a reference to Engrish.
In the anime
In A Bout with Sprout, the characters visited Earl's Pokémon Academy, where he made several brief appearences as comic relief, wearing a tutu and constantly twiling around.
Trivia
- An interesting point is that Earl's Japanese name is Giovanni, which is also the English name of the Team Rocket boss in the Generation I and III games, and Giovanni was absent for the Generation II games.
