Is "your rock head come to shine" a Japanese pun?

Question

A trainer said this after saying something like, "My joking is pretty terrible." Please don't question my curiosity.

He was some psychic in Emerald's Battle Frontier. I forgot his name, though.

Update: His name is Psychic Lukas.

---

If I recall correctly, aren't trainers in the Battle Frontiers dialogue just quasi-random words drawn from the easy chat system? So it's possible that maybe this has no real meaning at all?

---

Most of their dialog actually makes some kind of sense, so this really is unusual.

I get the vibes of a bald-man joke with this lol

Rock head is ishiatama in japanese which also means "inflexible person" btw, though I dont see that being too much help.

Answer 1

Considering that the trainer was a Psychic, I'm going to assume it's a metaphor as a compliment.

Using google, rockhead means
- A guy who's addicted to cocaine
- A dumb guy
- A guy who isn't flexible in Japanese (Credit: Qwerty_Zoom)
- Upper surface of bedrock and rock salt.

Since a rock isn't shiny becoming shiny like a gem probably means you became better person than before, which means stopping being whichever of the above

I highly doubt he means the first one, and if it's the second one then it would be offensive even if it is compliment coming from a psychic. The third one makes sense since I believe flexibility is an important trait for a person to have for a psychic.
