You tell me. What do YOU think the odds are that all Rocket Executives just happened to be named that way? What do YOU think the odds are of three different Pokemon having roots in all three Musketeers, right down to having a fourth outside the trio that is noticeably younger?Is it intended?
Well...duhTeam Galactic's members are named after the Planets-Mars, Jupiter, Saturn(you meet them in this order, too, I think), that other dude that was in Platinum(Pluto's largest natural satalite).
Also, Ditto is Mew's failed clone, for a number of reasons:
1. They are the only Pokemon to learn Transform naturally.
2. Their normal colors are similar, but not the exact same, but their shinnies are.
3. In the first Pokemon movie, Team Rocket mentions that Mewtwo is the only SUCCESSFUL clone of Mew.
It's just that everyone knows Nintendo consoles are made of Nintendium.Probably mentioned but in the intro of black and white, after the battle,when the protagonist's room gets destroyed, if you go and click on the random objects, they are all broken or a mess, except the wii which does not even a 'scratch' on it.
Pretty intentional i think.

I always thought Infernape was based off of Goku from dragon ball z. I mean it is a monkey, Goku's species, the saiyan, can turn into a monkey. Plus they are both fighting. I mean, even Infernape's Japanese name, Goukazaru, sounds similar to Goku. I'm not sure if it's just me who noticed thatPic
Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but Gen4's fire starter Infernape is quite clearly based on the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is a character from an ancient Chinese tale called Journey to the West. In this story, a monk named Xuanzhang goes on a dangerous pilgrimage to India and is protected by three supernatural bodyguards, the most famous of which is Sun Wukong.
The second most popular character from the story is Zhu Bajie, the pig. Notice a pattern here? Not to mention that Ken Sugimori supposedly said that he designed Emboar to have a "Chinese Style." This also explains the persistent use of the Fighting sub-type, as the monk's bodyguards were understandably extremely skilled at physical combat, Sun Wukong being the greatest fighter in the world, I believe.
If the pattern persists, we may see a starter Pokemon in the 6th gen based on the third bodyguard, Sha Wujing. He was a kind of humanoid Ogre, but his special ability was water combat. When submerged in water, he became extremely powerful and able even to beat Sun Wukong. Pokemon's first Water/Fighting starter? Might be cool.

I always thought that Lucario was based of Goku, mainly because they both have aura/ki based attacks, they were both voiced by Sean Shemmel, and the fact the shiny Lucario looks like a super saiyan.
I always thought Infernape was based off of a monkey who stuck his head in a campfire. Guess not then.
Wow, never realized that. But the whole monkey thing and the fact that Infernape's Japanese name sounds similar is more evidence
edit: And the whole aura thing is only in the anime and the brawl games.
What about Aura Sphere, it has Aura in it's name, and is like the kamehameha wave.
Lol, I've never heard of that
