I never noticed that Ditto was mentioend by name twice, but then I've only seen the movie a few times (my brother was a fan of Pokemon back then). But Ditto is one of my favorite characters (along with Pikachu and Meowth). It is the only Pokemon movie that I saw at the theaters. I remember back in 1999 I thought that Al should do a Pokemon song (maybe title it "Pokemambo No. 5"). There was a "Polkamon" drawing in the www.weirdal.com picture gallery, made by a fan. This was before the song was announced (could that have been Al's inspiration?). And somebody at Ask Al (or maybe it was an online chat) asked Alto do a Pokemon song, and Al responded that he might consider it if Pokemon was still popular when he did his next album, but then he sang it in the second movie, allowing for one to be written sooner.
By the way, does anybody remember if Pokemon was still popular back in 2003? Is it still popular now (I think there are still new episodes in production)? I wonder if Al chose not to include it in Poodle Hat or if perhaps Warner Bros. owned the rights to the song and wouldn't let Al include it on the album (or maybe a little bit of both... Warners could have owned the rights and wouldn't have let Al release it on one of his albums if he had asked, and Al could have thought that Pokemon wasn't current enough for his album and didn't bother asking for permission).

Of course it was intentional... it makes sense in an ironic way.
Lemon Demon did the same thing on his song "Word Disassociation" (a song compiled of a bunch of random words that have nothing to do with each other.) The word "abundant" is mentioned twice.

Pokemon was probably slightly popular in 2003, but I think its popularity had significantly diminished by that time. It wasn't quite as big of deal as it previously had been. Al probably didn't include on PH for that reason more than any other. It was probably also because he wanted to do a regular polka medley. I'm happy he did.weird user @ Apr 3 2007, 04:59 PM wrote:

Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.
