Yeah i was kinda surpised to see Mario name dropped. I didnt ask my translator about it but he may have been paraphrasing. Nintendo is insanely strict about their copy right shit so using Pikmin or using Animal Crossing from the previous chapter would have had lawyers at the authors throat. I get the consistency thing but yeah unfortuanatley when it comes to Nintendo stuff your really gotta dance around shitI kinda wish they just called it Pikmin anyway. I mean at this point we've named-dropped shit like Mario and Resident Evil. Why resort to parody now? I can probably guess why and/or maybe the author's hands are tied on this one but still.
It's a weird pet peeve of mine. I just like consistency. You either strictly use real world products/media or you strictly parody everything. Having a mix of both just feels off to me.
Not pulling out feels better so she can say this without it sounding wrong!"Pulling out feels so good!" Uhhh, you might want to rephrase that, young lady.
