Magic Odd's Japanese name is a reference to the [[wp:Battle of Imphal|Battle of Imphal]], considered to be one of Japan's largest defeats during World War II. The "odd" numbers of damage in the Poké-Body acknowledge that from a Japanese point of view. The same reference is also applied in the counterpart Mr. Mime in the set, but of a Japanese victory instead. It is no surprise that Nintendo altered the names during translation, as it references war and takes an arguably biased viewpoint of pivotal battles in the context of the Poké-Body effect. | Magic Odd's Japanese name is a reference to the [[wp:Battle of Imphal|Battle of Imphal]], considered to be one of Japan's largest defeats during World War II.
