I really feel like there's a Momotaro reference hidden in Unovan Pokemon, especially in rival teams, like Cheren. As you can see Cheren uses Unfezant (pheasant), Simisage/pour/sear (monkey) and Liepard (not a dog, but similar pet animal). Bianca uses Stoutland (there's the dog) and Simisage/pour/sear (monkey). Hugh, like Cheren, lacks the dog. All of them have almost perfect Momotaro themed teams and that's because Unova gives you the dog as early mammal, the pheasant as early bird and a monkey as the "second starter". We know from interviews that the creators planned to make an oni pair from Throh/Sawk and Thundurus/Tornadus. Per [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdgfbidwWK8 Lockstin video], we can see that this legend was the most significant in WW2, where USA was an enemy of Japan and associated with onis from the story, that's why the reference makes sense in Unova, a USA based region. Going back to Cheren, he starts using Stoutland as his main Pokemon in B2W2 completing the Momotaro trio. I'd like to mention this somewhere as a trivia, but I'm not sure where yet. I'll leave it here for potential discussion.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 09:58, 10 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
