The Chosenese from Pallet Town


If Ash Ketchum is indeed a Zainichi Chosenjin, then this could explain Gary Oak's "Smell You Later" catchphrase. Zainichi Koreans were often called dirty, smelly, lazy and stupid. Ash Ketchum was known for being stupid, but he was never lazy.

Ironically, Gary Oak wears a yellow and green Taegeuk amulet, and the Taegeuk is the emblem of South Korea. This would put him on the hit list of both the fascists and communists. Looks like this jerk is as good as dead because he made the fascists and the communists unite against him...
