No it's a completely different set of NPCs with the "Teammates" trainer class models. You don't even battle them

That's a relief, I think. Though the sisters are apparently also in Room 1 (or at least Bulbapedia says you need the key to Room 1 to reach them).
I really hope I'm mistaken again.

oh. probably got room no. wrong then
Just checked Bulbapedia again. It seems the Teammates are in Room 2, and they give you the key to Room 6.
Looks like this is just a harmless innuendo, completely unassociated with siblings and minors. Yikes averted.
Here's how its presented in-game:
Them using the Teammates (plus the dialogue) is implication enough. What they were originally called in Gen III, Sr. and Jr., was actually closer to the original Japanese name of the Trainer Class. In Japan the Trainer class is called Senpai and Kohai, which translates in English as "upperclassman & underclassman". In Japanese schools some senior students may take an underclassmate under their wing, sort of being a mentor figure to them. BTW the practice isn't gender specific, though the two members are the same gender. While in real life it's just a mentorship thing, in plenty of yoai and yuri material taking place in a school setting this is a popular pairing method for the leads. :P

This isn't so much a quote as it is a funny NPC expression
Right before fighting Olivia in SM, Burnett and Lillie come over with the latter staying to watch the battle. Burnett ends up leaving to go watch an upcoming Masked Royale fight, vocally wondering "who's under that mask?" before leaving. She seems to have a neutral expression while walking off, but if you pay close attention right before she leaves the screen that turns into a blushing smile! Tiny visual gags like that make my bones rattle humorously.

Archie's first quote at Mt. Chimney in Omega Ruby is my new favorite Pokemon quote:
"Get out of my blasted way, ye scurvy Team Magma knaves! Or face a keelhauling!"
While not funny, Archie and Maxie both have great quotes at the end of ORAS, depending on which one isn't the antagonist.
"Someday we adults are gonna have to hand this world off to this little scamp and the rest of their generation. But what kinda world are we adults gonna make? What kinda world do we wanna pass to these kids?"
"We adults have a duty to pass this world along to the next generation. A world worth passing along."
Making sure the world is in a good state for our posterity is about the best reason for environmentalism that I can think of.

Too bad their focus is on the mental part rather than the environment part.

Ok there's no way to really phrase this without getting a few chuckles at my expense so not gonna sugarcoat it
Me and a friend were having a discussion earlier today and at one point ORAS Courtney was brought up. He pulled up some article (I think TVTropes) which mentioned how her very... "interesting" dialogue was apparently far more blatantly sexual in the original Japanese translation. Can anyone confirm or deny this with the "highlights"?

Well that was an interesting find...
Makes me a bit happier that I ended up getting AS instead of OR.
That's her English dialogue, they're talking about her Japanese.
Though her English dialogue does sound suggestive, at the same time it sounds more obsessive than sexual. Though looking at the script, if there was any dialogue which may be where the most sexual sounding stuff would be, it would probably be the Magma Hideout before you battle her. Notably her comment about a drill walloping a wall & her broken thoughts of obsession of wanting to battle you. That sounds like prime times where in the Japanese version she would have said something a bit more risque.
But yeah, while Matt has his "Oh"s verbal tick, at the very least after that he talks in full sentences even if he talks like a dude bro.
I wouldn't say I'm happy with testosterone poisoned guy who's all for his boss and a girl (PC) though. I'm still having nightmares....
"I've asked my Pokemon to use Sing instead of setting an alarm clock. But I cannot get up at all. I don't know why."
Battle tower postman trainer:
"Postal delivery! I've got a parcel here with your name on it. Oh, look. The contents say "defeat." "
(I wish there were an easy way to just email screenshots to yourself instead of the switch trying to force you to upload to fb or twitter. But there's not, so you get text instead of screenshot)

You know how many games feature Game Freak employees working in an office somewhere? Well, if you show Morimoto's Sun and Moon incarnation a Tauros that came from the Game Boy virtual console, he has this to say:
Honestly, almost all of his dialogue for different Pokemon is a total mindfuck when you think about it from an in-universe perspective. Especially these three:
Honestly, almost all of his dialogue for different Pokemon is a total mindfuck when you think about it from an in-universe perspective. Especially these three:
"You know that Pokemon you're holding right now? That living creature that you can clearly see is flesh and blood? It's a fictional character that I made up. Oh, and that other Pokemon you're holding? The ancient being of myth that is thought to be the ancestor of all Pokemon? I singlehandedly created everything about it, and I threw it in at the last minute. What's that? "The last minute of what?" Why, creating the Kanto region! We here at Game Freak brought the Kanto region into existence some 20 years ago for a video game. Why are you curled up on the floor and whimpering?"
Gen 9 Morimoto: "I AM YOUR TRUE GOD, ARCEUS IS MY CREATION"
Anyways, one of my favorite quotes is the Serena burn on Team Flare. "Did you have to take a part-time job at the Poke Ball Factory to afford that ugly suit?" Burn.
He was also probably referencing the original Japanese Red and Green Blizzard. Had a 30% Freeze chance on top of the 90% Accuracy
There's a guy outside the Slateport Battle Tent who says "Wroooar! I'm going to compete in the BATTLE TENT, too! But before that, I need to catch some POKéMON!"
The Slateport Battle Tent replicates the Battle Factory, where you use rental Pokemon instead of the ones you've caught.

Two quotes from the Fame Checker:
"Lt. Surge was always famous for his cautious nature in the Army."
"Lt. Surge installed the traps in the Gym himself. He set up double locks everywhere."
It seems for all his hot-shot bravado, Lt. Surge is far from a risk-taker.

That or he's paranoid/has PTSD.
