Now what I am about to relate may not have any connection exactly but it's interesting once you think on it:
Wynaut and Rumia. Yes, Wynaut. The Pokemon. Wobbuffet's pre-evolution.
As all of you (or most of you) know, Rumia's catchphrase is "Sonano ka?" meaning "Is that so?" Wynaut's Japanese name is "Sanano".which roughly means "Really?", basically the same as Rumia's.
Mix it in with Wobbuffet's Japanese name, Sosanso (meaning "That's the way it is") and we have a full fledged conversation.
Rumia: Is that so?
Wobbuffet: That's the way it is.
Wynaut: Really?
