Trivia

• Joseph's overall design is largely based off that of Shikamaru Nara's from Naruto (they're both lazy and brilliant, care more for their friends than they appear to, and often use chess or one of its relatives figuratively to strategize).
• Joseph Lark is the first character in the RPG to be quadrilingual-that is, possessing fluency in four languages.
• Each of Lark's pokemon are named in reference to different people, both real and fictional, and also mean things in other languages which also call back or reveal the tactics used with them by their trainer.
  • 'Manuel' references Manuel dos Reis Machado, a master of Capoiera, which Der Blitz envisions Scraftys to fight with (as well as Muay Thai). It is also a Spanish name and a shortened version of Hebrew Immanuel, meaning 'God with us'.
    • 'Der Eisen Drachen', as well, means 'The Iron Dragon' in German. As Manuel is a fighter who often absorbs attacks and hits back, and is related to a dragon, the name is apt.
  • 'Sasori' is a callback to Sasori of The Red Sand from Naruto Shippuden, who is a literal puppetmaster using threads to control his (many) machines. Spiders, meanwhile, spin their own threads, thus making the name fitting. As well, Sasori literally means 'scorpion' in Japanese, which also references the Galvantula's speedy 'stings' of status conditions in its fighting value.
    • 'El Rayo Araña' is Spanish meaning 'The Lightning Spider'. While this aptly describes Sasori's species, it also is a pun on his strategic value as a powerful 'lightning speed'-ster.
  • ​'Namikaze' references Minato Namikaze of Naruto Shippuden as well, who possesses precise teleportation powers and is a legendary hero and fighter. Whilst Minato is a lot more powerful than any Remoraid, the fish is precise and an outstanding fighter in its own right. The name also means in Japanese 'Waves and Wind', which are both where Remoraid are found, and also two of its primary weapons.
    • ​'Der Vasserbewaffneten' is German for 'water-armed', which is a pun that explains Namikaze's long-range, with-water fighting style, as firearms in english are guns. It will become a double pun if it evolves, as it will then have many literal arms.
