I saw Rocky Horror at my college a few months ago, and for those who don’t know: A lot of colleges in the US have their theater groups reenact scenes from the 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” with the original film in the background, but these screenings usually involve callbacks that the audience members are supposed to yell out in response to lines from the film. I was wondering if Pokémon games (or other Pokémon media, such as well known anime episodes) could have something similar.
Considering a Pokémon game is designed to be appropriate for children, the callbacks would probably just be foreshadowing what happens later in the game, making fun of the characters and parodying Pokémon as a whole, and not inappropriate like most of the Rocky callbacks.
A Playbill article gave examples of some famous callbacks, these are some of the ones that would make sense to Pokémon (READ: relatively SFW)

Frank, whose pool is this and tell us thirteen times!
FRANK: My, my, my, my, my, my. My, my, my, my, my, my, my!”
Context: There’s a pool onstage because, why not? The original asked a six-year-old to design a house and that’s what he made up: a castle with a theatre and a pool onstage.
