Welcome to the eighty-second episode of the Hidden Details blog!
Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar (and other pets as well by the way), and ONE JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.
1: Sylveon mentions her and Heracross not being in the same egg group, which is canonically correct. It was quite a hassle to find two Pokémon from different egg groups that would work in this scenario.
2: Speaking of which, they also both had to appear in that first area of Pokémon Snap to make a bit of sense. Both Sylveon and Heracross do appear in this area. (For a while, Sylveon was going to be a Florges, but I decided to use Sylveon because I think it's a very popular Pokémon)
3: If you look closely, you can see the NEO-ONE slowly approaching in the first two panels.
4: There is indeed a Hoothoot sleeping in the hole in the tree, Zanreo. And this is indeed a reference to the Hoothoot that's found in that first area in New Pokémon Snap.
5: There's a stylized "JOJO" and Loss on the side of the NEO-ONE. Very astute, James Benefiel and Zach.
6: There are both male and female Heracross among the crowd in the fourth panel. You can indeed tell by the shape of their horns, Trigger.
7: There's a bunch of Eevee among the Sylveon in the fourth panel (I would have included Heracross evo's or pre-evo's, if they had one). And among the Eevees is a single shiny one. Glad you noticed, UltaKi and Lukario.
8: That's actually Panda's new boyfriend, CrazySeanDX. He is called Winnie and he and Panda live at my ex now. But yeah, I made sure to give nearly all of my (former) pets a cameo in those pictures, including one of the chickens and the finches.
9: Dedenne (who is found in the lab in New Pokémon Snap) is chilling in Professor Mirror's pocket. Good eye, Erin.
10: The photograph received a four-star "noteworthy behavior" rating, just like they often do in the real game. Found by Aust Sakura Kyzor.
11: And last but not least, Balthazar is indeed hanging out behind the Heracross and Sylveon in the picture. Glad you found him, Luke.
After one week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
