I didn't post any fun facts about page 4 on Twitter, Bluesky or Mastodon, so here's the ones for Page 5!
• Although I'm only 16% smaller at the start of this page, my bag is 30% heavier to me due to the square-cube law, and I always packed it to the brim back then!
• Shrinking occurs in the panel where Pidgeotto's talons appear, not due to donations but because the plot demands it!
• This Pidgeotto both hates humans and loves pichus so he sees me as the perfect prey!
• Hearty's resemblance to Ash's pikachu is no accident. Rei's design was always meant to be distinct and part of the reason Hearty appears here is to show it!
• Finding exactly the right nickname was one of the reasons I didn't post this 25 years ago. The 1998 script just has a placeholder that says "[Annoying human]"!
(Whenever scenes with Rei played out in my head, the sound would mute when the nickname was mentioned -- I was THAT unsure of what to use! I originally wanted "twerp but nicer"; I later revised that to "twerp in another language". As I picked up more japanese, eventually "Otoko-chan" just...clicked!)
