Have you ever noticed that in the Japanese version of Pokémon, just about all the Gym Leaders are named after plants (at least from Generation III on)? I know it's probably just a coincidence and most likely has nothing to do with certain members of the Telefang staff going to work for Game Freak, but it's still something interesting to note. If you can read Japanese, compare the similarities... Kamitsure even looks a little like a chamomile flower to me, but that may just be my imagination. XD
In Generation III, we have:In Generation IV:In Generation V:
Any comments on this?
