I don't think either of these are the case. There is no similarity between Sabrina's doll and the doll in that episode of The Twilight Zone other than the fact that they were both dolls that could talk and stuff. That's like saying that Sabrina's doll was a reference to the doll in Child's Play or a reference to any other "living" doll in popular culture. However, I do think that the whole fact that Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu are transported to a doll house to be played with is very similar to a different episode of The Twilight Zone (which I forget the title of) where a man and his wife are abducted by giant aliens and put into a toy town. As for the Indiana Jones reference... I suppose it's possible, but not really notable. Likewise, it could be said that Sabrina using telekinesis on the psychic that brought Ash to her was a reference to Darth Vader using his "force choke" technique on that one guy in Star Wars... which I also don't think is a notable trivia fact.

=="Sabrina's Kadabra learns Confusion"== | |||
Is this really imporant enough to be listed? | |||
Also, what about the fact that Kadabra used Psychic as well? Sure, in the games it's possible to teach an Abra Psychic with a TM, but TMs aren't even shown to exist in the anime so it's very likely that Abra wouldn't have known Psychic beforehand, and may have learned it during / after evolution as well. You may be thinking that that doesn't make sense, since Abra evolves at a lower level than it is when it learns Psychic. Well, this is all speculation, my explanation is that stuff happens in the anime that is inconsistent with the games. Some Pokémon in the anime do know attacks much earlier than they should... some even know attacks that they can't even learn in the games. The whole fact that Abra evolved without gaining any experience shows a major inconsistency with the game right there... so it certainly seems possible that Abra's move set could have been expanded to include Confusion and Psychic all at once (rather than it learning different attacks at different levels like it is in the games). Also, based on the fact that the anime isn't consistent with the games, how do we know that in the anime an Abra isn't capable of learning Confusion / Psychic before evolving into Kadabra anyway? Perhaps it learned neither in this episode and knew them both all along. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:58, 19 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
