Atypical-Abbie Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Konami likes it's Nintendo references, eh? They also made a reference to "Do a barrel roll!" once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atypical-Abbie Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't really understand, what does that card have to do with anything? Also, your image is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hands down the best name change since Socuteboss. I agree, it is a good name change. Definitely better than its OCG name that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azuh Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Best name change! Although I am going to miss it's Attack on Titan reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 This isn't a Pokemon reference. Almost any RPG that has wild encounters invokes the name of "A wild X appeared". That said, I love the name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Actually, no. It's ''A(n) X appears!'' or a variations of it. Most RPGs has many enemies that does not really fit as ''wild''. ''A wild Black Knight appears!'' doesn't really makes sense, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 ''A wild Black Knight appears!'' doesn't really makes sense, right? It sounds hilarious. This seems fitting actually: a silly name for a silly card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''A wild Black Knight appears!'' doesn't really makes sense, right? A long time ago, I played a game called Dragon Warrior Monsters, which had a recruit system for wild monsters. That was what first came to mind when I saw the name of the card. Pokemon is just the RPG series that is more widespread and popular than others and has the same "recruit/capture" wild monsters theme going. But because there are other examples of games that do this other than Pokemon, I do not consider it to specifically be a Pokemon reference. Do a Barrel Roll, however, is undeniably a Star Fox reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 But it's far more likely that this is an intentional reference to Pokemon, since the phrase become memetic because of it.

Alastar Rainford Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 So much so that you had to say it not once, twice, no, thrice! Well it must be true then. OT: love the name change and love that Monster Rancher finally got a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
