I forget which specific trainer it was, but I remember in B2W2 in Pinwheel Forest, there was a teacher who says that she often has to yell at her students to "sit down and shut up". I'm pretty sure this was a reference to the bus driver in early seasons of South Park.

:Pretty sure that's a common expression that predates that particular episode. Googling the term doesn't even give me any results relating to South Park, indicating that it's not strongly associated with it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:32, 22 August 2015 (UTC) | :Pretty sure that's a common expression that predates that particular episode.

== "My Tank is Fight!" Reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum == | |||
In the English version of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, one of the trainers early in the starts the battle with the line "My Pokémon are fight!", which is a reference to "My Tank is Fight!", a series of satirical columns written by Zack Parsons for the website SomethingAwful. ([https://www.somethingawful.com/news/my-tank-fight/]). Nob Ogasawara, lead translator for the localization team, was a Something Awful member at the time (noted in the [[Roxy and Oli]] article). | |||
The line "My Tank is fight" was originally a lyric in the song "My Tank" by the band "Darkest of the Hillside Thickets". | |||
