Was checking out some scannage of the LA cards, reading a bit of the flavor text. Poliwrath's reads as follows:
"With its extremely tough muscles, it can keep swimming in the Pacific Ocean without resting."
I've been playing this game since 2000, and I can't remember a card ever referencing anything from our world, nor anything in the movies, games, etc. suggesting that Ash & company's world is our world. That's not to say it hasn't happened - I haven't played all the games, and I haven't seen all the movies. I know there's a Pacifidlog town, but that's about as close as it gets in anything I've encountered.
Is there precedent for this? Is it a one-time only thing? Is it a precursor to a plot development that has pokemon spilling over into our world, or vice versa? Or was this just a flavor-text-writing gaffe?
