‘Like No One Ever Was’– Naomi Osaka Finds Solace in This Pokemon Character

Naomi Osaka is back on the court while regaining her form in 2022. She has been performing astoundingly well and consistently. She took a time-off after being the finalist in the Miami Open 2022. The player usually keeps to herself and has made publicly clear that she is more of an introvert. But we have seen this year, that it is not the same when she is on the court. Though she was out of the limelight for some time, Osaka has made a jaw-dropping comeback.

Naomi Osaka gives Pokemon reference

Osaka, in an interview with the reporter Ben Rothenberg, related herself to a Pokemon character. This came in the context of an interview where the interviewer asked which fictional character she most relates to. She answered by naming a Pokemon character, Snowflax. It is a character known for sleeping most of the time. He only gets up to eat food and then goes back to sleep again. But when the time comes, he is one of the most powerful pokemon.

She expressed her ambitions for the sport by giving a reference to Pokemon. She said, “To be the very best like no one ever was”. When nobody understood her context, she clarified, “That’s a Pokemon quote, I’m sorry. That’s the Pokemon theme song. But yeah, to be the very best, and go as far as I can go.”
