(#10) The Two "Buff" Guys Who Don't Appreciate Your Judgement In Veilstone City Department Store
The Quote: “Two buff guys standing side by side. That’s all. What? What’s the problem?”
The Character: Two "buff" guys rubbing shoulders in Veilstone City Department Store
The Game: Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
Hey man, no problem here, promise! This line is said by one of two “buff” NPCs standing very close together in the Veilstone City Department Store. Perhaps the joke is related to you obtaining a Stick Barb just before speaking to him? Really, the root of the humor in this line is the unprovoked defensiveness of it. It's as if simply starting a conversation with them somehow implies that they're not "buff" and that they're too close. Tensions are always running high when people are bargain-hunting, after all.
(#2) The Old Perverted Man Who Is Peeking Into Celedon City Gym
The Quote: “Heheh! This gym is great! It’s full of women!”
The Character: An old man peeking into an all-female gym
The Games: Red/Blue/Yellow
From Dragon Ball’s Master Roshi to Bleach’s Chizuru, the “perverted man” stereotype is strangely prevalent in anime, and most likely the reference point for the dialogue of this old man NPC. While the line itself is pretty chuckle-inducing, the funniest part is that, despite these games being played by kids and teens, someone at Game Freak thought this little slice of adult humor was perfectly acceptable.
(#4) Psychic Robert Who Is A Big 'Dragon Ball Z' Fan In The Kalos Region
The Quote: “Wow. You and your Pokemon’s power levels are amazing! They’re over 9000 for sure!”
The Character: Psychic Robert on Route 10
The Game: Pokemon X/Y
This line is said by Psychic Robert after you defeat him in reference to the famous “over 9000” meme from the Dragon Ball Z dub. Kind of odd to put this in the mouth of a psychic, when you consider the reference’s origin is a martial arts-themed anime.
(#5) The Youngster Trainers Whose Love Of Shorts Knows No Bounds On The Road To Pewter City
The Quote: “Hi! I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!”
The Character: (First appearance) A Youngster trainer on Route 3 in the Kanto Region
The Game: All of them
The “technology/science guy” is a fan favorite of the recurring NPCs, but he isn’t the favorite. No, that illustrious title belongs to certain members of the Youngster class of trainers, who, for no discernible reason, just really love shorts. The line was first uttered by a Youngster in the original games prior to battling, and struck such a chord with fans that a variation of it has been included in every single game since then. One of the funniest callbacks has to be from the Youngster in Pokemon X/Y: “Whenever I’m feeling down after losing a battle, I just think, ‘At least I’ve still got my shorts!’”
(#12) The Girl Who Might Be A Vampire In Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower
The Quote: “Give...me...blood…”
The Character: A female Channeler trainer in Pokemon Tower
The Game: Red/Blue/Yellow
Lavender Town is a place where folks live in the constant shadow of a Tower that reminds them everyday that all things must come to an end. Even their dearest Pokémon allies. Yikes. If that wasn’t eerie enough, there's a Channeler trainer in the Tower who approaches you and inexplicably asks for blood. Is every day Halloween in Lavender Town? Is she just a really committed cosplayer returning from Comic Con? Or is she an actual vampire? You may never know, but it’s a funny line all the same.
(#14) Nimbasa City's Gym Leader Who Quotes From "Airplane!" In The Memory Link
The Quote: Elesa: “If I were to make bad puns when I’m supposed to be telling a joke, doesn’t it give people even more of an opportunity to tease me and start a funny back-and-forth?”
Skyla: “Really? I guess I’ll just rethink my fashion first.”
Elsa: “You bet! And don’t call me Shirley!"
The Character: Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa
The Game: Black/White 2
This line is an unmistakable reference to cult 1980s satirical film, Airplane! It happens during a flashback sequence in the ‘Memory Link’ feature entitled, "Taking It To The Next Level," in a conversation Elesa has with Mistralton City Gym Leader, Skyla. The conversation that prompts this funny reference revolves around telling bad jokes. Honestly, the funniest thing about this is that without the “surely” lead-in from the exchange in the film, the reference falls completely flat.
