LMAO funny thing is Bruce Lee's Chinese name is Lixiaolong, and it was actually supposed to be "Bruce Li", but no Americans figured out how to pronounce it >.<
actaully i think this answer is wrong. All though the names are based on Bruce Lee and Jakie Chan, I remember seeing somewhere that originaly they were based on some japanese people. I think Hitmonlee was based on a japanese kick boxer or something. I can't remember, I think I saw it on DYKGaming but I'm not sure.
You commented ON MY OWN QUESTION. WHICH I ASKED 2 YEARS AGO ;-;
