*Earl is notable for changing the order of the words in his sentences, somewhat like [[wp:Yoda|Yoda]] from [[wp:Star Wars|Star Wars]], although his grammar is generally incorrect. For example, when asking a potential student if they want to learn from him, he will ask, "What you want to know? Want to be a winner is you?" This may be a reference to [[wp:Engrish|Engrish]]. He does not talk like this in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], which may be due to the quite extensive scope of the Pokémon Academy in this game. This could be a reference to the NES game Pro Wrestling, where the phrase "A WINNER IS YOU" is shown at the end of a winning match. | *Earl is notable for changing the order of the words in his sentences, somewhat like [[wp:Yoda|Yoda]] from [[wp:Star Wars|Star Wars]], although his grammar is generally incorrect.

**In the German version of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Earl is portrayed with a French accent on top of his incorrect grammar. This is dropped in the German version of Pokémon Stadium 2, similar to the case in the English translation. | **In the German version of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Earl is portrayed with a French accent on top of his incorrect grammar.

*An interesting point is that Earl's Japanese name is [[Giovanni]], the English name of the well-known [[Team Rocket]] boss who disbands the group in Generation I and its remakes. | *An interesting point is that Earl's Japanese name is [[Giovanni]], the English name of the well-known [[Team Rocket]] boss who disbands the group in Generation I and its remakes. | ||
