Stupidity in Diamond and Pearl
There are 2 stupid things in Diamond and Pearl.
|
Funny :P
very funny. but again interesting, i never noticed :P |
I never noticed the noob thing ><
|
Somebody on the west entrance to Oreburgh City says "owned" as well, I believe.
I guess it's NOA trying to latch onto the internet generation, and using familiar words. |

Am I the only person here who thougt the noob thing was funny? It was ironic coming from a Galactic Grunt. (The easiest of the criminal organizations, altough they had the best theme song)
|
That noob thing is actually not Nintendo's doing. Some guys over at Something Awful forums were working on the translations for English and added said things (and other things) as a joke to make the other Something Awful users laugh.

I loved reading the Internet lingo in the games - I thought it had some sort of ridiculous adorable charm to it. Honestly, I'm starting to think that people are trying to think up new things to complain about concerning the 4th generation.
EDIT: Ah, yes, that reminds me, does the game script differ from Japanese to English? I haven't seen any sort of comparisons so far, and I'm kind of curious to see if any lines were completely re-written. |

"Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to Internet memes and chatspeak. One of the main translators, Douglas Dinsdale, is a member of the Something Awful Forums, hence all the net lingo. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon trainer announcing "My Pokemon is Fight!". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a Galactic grunt and Buck, and ROFL is available as a speech option. Perhaps incidentally, Twinleaf Town shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, 2chan." |

that's very interesting actually.
do you think they could be adapting to the current speak and keeping up with all the new lingo that people are coming up with? definately a possibility. anyone else agree? when you first come out of the cave to oreborough, teh guy is like "let me show you around so you don't look like a total noob'...how funny is that?! |
I noticed the noob thing, but not that he said "owned". I'm pretty glad I didn't noticed he said owned. >.< I dislike it when I see someone using owned in a sentence.

I do love the internet latch-ons, they were pretty cute, and I gave an lol every time I saw them. |
I haven't a clue why using words such as noob and owned would imply stupidity. =P My belief is that the words in of themselves aren't bad, but idiotic usage of them. It's a pet-peeve of mine that they got into the game, but I don't think they'd qualify as stupidity.

tbh if u notice stupid stuff like that u shouldnt even be playing D/P

Its just fun little quirks i've noticed. Doesn't mean i don't like the game. |
Some trainer in the Canalave Gym calls you a noob.
|
Only a matter of time before trainers will be saying, "Lol ownt nub, L2P!".
|
Yeah, I'd have to say that this thread is pretty stupid overall. Every Professor in every Generation (except maybe Elm who seemed more interested in Eggs then fulfilling the PokeDex) has sent you out on a mission to complete the PokeDex. So can't really pick out that as something stupid in only Diamond/Pearl.
I'd prefer if people focused on the positives of the game rather than constantly nitpick about the negative stuff in the games. *closed* |
