>>50497215Bro it's literally a Viagra joke...
1) its blue
2) its pill shaped (original design was a blue ball)
3) kids come up with random names for shit all the time (aka they don't know wtf it actually is)
4) Nobody sells it to you, meaning you can't acquire it normally at that age & gotta actively stumble upon it / search it out.
5) it grants "Pokémon" experience/awakens their dormant power... (causes "Pokémon" to "grow" by 1 lvl)
just like HP-up, PP-up, Atk-up, & Def-up drugs are reference to steroids or medical stimulants & herbs/powders are dietary supplements or various illicit drugs.
Pokémon was originally a dark universe of monster dog fighting & where harm & fucked up shit 10yr old shouldn't be messing with was just around the corner. why wouldn't they reference drugs? they had crime, yakuza teir gangs, monsters, animal fights, horror, etc.
its not very far fetched to think the creators threw it in as an inside joke
