It's what I had in mind, too. I remember a LOT of funny quotes that came from BF. The script writers sure have an odd way of expressing themselves (and their weirdness).
You can't blame them, though.
The game developers had no Celadon City mansion to leave their marks like they did in the past.
Although they occupied the Lilycove Hotel instead. :X
I remember the BF in Emerald. And if I'm correct, they always spoke in all caps too. xD
