Trivia

• Hoenn Ninja Boys have Asian name derivations, while Sinnoh Ninja Boys have European names. The same thing happens to Black Belts.
• The way the Generation IV Ninja Boys hold their Poké Balls may be a reference to the popular anime series, Naruto. The titular character's signature move, the Rasengan, is a sphere of energy held in the same way while it is being formed.
