>>52165179I haven't seen much footage of the game but in the picture you get when you beat his Gym, he's doing the "itadakimasu" hands before he eats a big pile of onigiri. If that's not the most Japanese thing besides being a soulless office worker
that I'm going to fuck into emoting then I don't know what is. As for his name being Larry, there's a lot of reasons from localization picking and choosing who gets to have a Japanese-sounding name or not and also the pun, but also maybe he just uses the name Larry so Paldeans don't have to struggle pronouncing his real one.
