Title: FireRed/Leaf Green. Anyone have a female character?
Post by: 18 Days on August 28, 2007, 05:55:37 AM
Ok right. So as anyself respecting Pokémon fan should know, in the original Pokémon Red / Blue when you went downstairs and watched the television it said four boys were walking on train tracks and that you'd better go too. This is of course, a reference to the all time classic 1987 movie Stand By Me. It's a highly relevent and important reference, because the movie is an amazing coming of age story and a story of the adventure of four young boys. I emphasise boys because it really is a boys film about masculinity and being a man.

Now of course in Fire Red and Leaf Green they retained the reference.

But. I've heard that if you select a female character, the movie displayed is different. I'm just curious as to what film is referenced for female avatars. Is it a female oriented version of Stand by Me?

"There's a movie on TV.
A girl with  her hair in pigtail is walking up a brick road."

The power of Gabe compells you.  And it's kind of cool that they changed it.

Wizard of Oz? Lame. They could've done better.

Although I suppose Dorothy was going on an adventure.

I'm fairly sure I saw none of these references in my old GB version.

Wizard of Oz is the best movie based on a novel that was symbolic for how much America sucked back in the day, ever...

(Seriously, it's my favorite classic film...)

Fun factL  I heard today that Toto was originally supposed to be played by a miniature dachshund , but the producers changed it at the last minute because of all the crap that was going on with Germany in 1939.

It's a movie all about music, magic, and Australia.

Or not.

It's actual a film set in the 1930's Midwest of the USA.  It stars a girl unsatisfied with her home life who is transported to a magical world called Oz that isn't Australia.  On a journey of self-discovery, she and her dog Toto meet new friends and learn that she should be more than content with what is in front of her.
