He made a joke about Pokémon. King Charles «shone» with humor in front of the Japanese emperor

During a dinner with Japanese Emperor Naruhito, King Charles ||| of Great Britain "shone" with his knowledge of Japanese culture. As it turned out, the monarch not only knows about the cult animated series Pokémon, but also encourages his grandchildren's interest in watching anime.

This conclusion can be drawn by analyzing the ruler's joke. His words were reported by Metro journalists.

During a dinner with a distinguished guest, the Briton was discussing fishing and his failures in it.

"I'm sorry to say that I've been having some bad luck with fishing lately. The phrase about Pokémon 'you have to catch them all' may appeal to my grandchildren, but for me it's probably a dream," the king said.

The phrase "gotta catch 'em all" is a direct reference to the Pokémon theme song, where the characters promise to "catch 'em all." The king drew an analogy between fishing and hunting for fantasy creatures.

His mention of his grandchildren may indicate that they are familiar with anime and like to watch it. By the way, according to the publication, Charles also mentioned another cult cartoon in Japan - Hello Kitty.

Probably, the monarch wanted to pay tribute to Japanese culture. It should be reminded that it was only the first day of the Japanese and his wife's visit to London out of three.
