Do you think they purposely named the guy who made the pokemon storage system after Bill Gates or is it a coincidence?

Never thought of that!!! Probably. This is from Bulbapedia

 

 

Language Name Origin Japanese ソネザキマサキ Masaki Sonezaki Means Japanese Spindle. It is also similar to みさき misaki, meaning cape, where he lives. English, German, Italian, Spanish Bill May come from Bill Gates, former head of Microsoft, and developer of the Microsoft Windows operating system for PCs. French Léo Possibly from Link Everything Online Korean 이수재 Lee Su-Jae Chinese (Mandarin) 正輝/正辉 Zhènghuī From the name 正輝 Masaki. 輝/辉 also means radiance, possibly referencing his lighthouse.

All these years I've used Bill's PC and never realized that :0 idk maybe they did it on purpose

I saw that on Bulbapedia a while back.

Anyway, I seriously doubt it. Most likely just coincidence.

Dude you just earned my resepct for actually realizing it

I was always just mad that I had to put my pokemon in Bill's PC and not mine. Where does Bill get off, taking my hard work from me?

Now, what about Bebe....

I kinda wish they had it like the anime where they went to Prof. Oak and you could visit them.

Last time I checked there are other PC makers in Pokemon.

 

We didn't get Steve's PC.

Because that would be a Mac... not a PC at all. And it'd be so awesome that Game Freak wouldn't have been able to do it justice, lol

Same here. That's why in my Pokemon White I still have it named "Someone's PC" and I'm 100 hours into the game.

That would be amazing!!!

Never thought about that, I'm not certain but it wouldn't surprise me

I never talked to the people. It was always SOMEBODY'S PC for me, just the way I wanted it. Although I know it changed in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black and White.

Mind=Blown
