>>27754204Some "pottery" is just funny reused animation or generic poses, but they do actually use it to their advantage like Pikachu vs Bunnelby (1 and 2) then Pikachu vs Clawitzer, regarding both latter Pokemon grabbing Pikachu's tail, as well as Serena using Pikachu literally the same way as Ash did when he fought Clemont.
But there are genuine callbacks like what was said when the XY gang huddle up, Pikachu's electric communication with Dedenne which is referenced several times, and of course, Ash and Serena referencing the other's catchphrases. especially the latter whom uses it several times to reassure herself and to reassure others about Ash.
