Dialogue Oddities
I was re-playing my Red version, where I noticed this little bit of unintentional humor. After beating the trainer in Pewter GYM before facing Brock, he says "Wow, you're hot! But Brock is hotter!"
Now, I know that the person who made the text intended it to mean something along the lines of being a hotshot trainer, but it completly looks as if he's remarking on how good looking I am. :D Anyone else come across wierd pieces of text like this? |
The Jugglers always insist on telling me about their balls....

What about the infamous "pharmacist in Ecruteak" dialogue found in the Beta of Gold/Silver? Nobody knows whether it was an error on the behalf of the programmers or whether the pharmacy was originally intended to be in Ecruteak but got moved to Cianwood.

When you get an item, it will say "<Name> found Potion", and in R/B/Y, use a ball and it says "<Name> used Poke Ball". In G/S/C it tells you "<Name> found a Ultra Ball". Lack of parts of speech were quite common. |

Doesn't help that Irwin is such a stalker, but I love him. XD |
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Soul Badge and Marsh Badge text was reversed. Koga was supposed to give the Marsh Badge, because many Poison-types were also Bug-types, and bugs live in swamps or marshes, and Sabrina was to give the Soul Badge, because psychics can see into your soul(or something).
Additionally, in R/B/Y and G/S/C, when you receive a badge it's written like "<Player> received BOULDERBADGE." And when being told of it's properties, it's still written like that; "BOULDERBADGE increases ATTACK. It also allows the use of FLASH outside of battle." |

Not to mention Koga's is listed as the 5th badge in the list on R/B, but the 6th elsewhere. Another programming/translating error, I suppose?

Perhaps they're in CAPS so the 6-to-8-year-olds playing know they're supposed to be paying attention to those words. :P

It reminded me of my schience teacher who would have random capital letters in the middle of words and senences. I was really happy after they stopped that and just highlighted important things. Made playing my Japanese SoulSilver a whole lot easier. |
If you talk to the trainers afterward they tend to explain what they've said. Tiksi, as that particular Scientist later says, is in Russian no-man's-land. Poor Scientist.

... Yeah, I got nothing creative here. I always loved looking through those journals - intersting nostalia in there. Another odd one was one Team Rocket memeber calling me a traitor. At first I was like "RED WAS IN TEAM ROCKET!?"then he ranted after about how not joining Team Rocket is being a traitor. Classy. |

"Hehe, I like this gym! It's full of women!" |
Don't forget the shorts-obsessed Youngster. He creeped me out in the show and the game. O_o "Hey! You're not wearing shorts!"
|
I forgot to mention Oak's lulzy "I came when I heard you beat the Elite Four."
Of course, I didn't get it until FR/LG. |

This isn't odd now, as I realize they were possessed, but the Channelers in Pokemon Tower. Two of them said, before the battle, "Give me your soul!" and "Give...me...blood!". It kind of was a great way give kids nightmares, Nintendo. |

I mean, they're still freaking awesome but scary for small children... BRING THAT BACK, GAMEFREAK. I thought the exact same thing about the nurses. They actually WANT you to have your pokemon wounded. I mean, I can understand that one nurse in the center by Mt. Silver saying that because it must get lonely there. As fort he shorts... How does he know I'm not wearing shorts? They could be under my pants... Jerk... |
I read it, and it scared me, okay?
Does anyone else find it odd that, as opposed to “Hahaha” or “Mwahaha” people laughed with “Fwahaha”? Yes, the sprites were disturbing. WTF, Game Freak, upside-down Koffing? |

At first I thought they were swearing a line at me. "Eff you eff you eff you eff you" And an Executor with a giant, looming face with the light in just the right place to make it look likr a zombie tree? |
"Hair didn't fall out! It was an evil spirit!"
...Yyyyokay. And yeah, gotta love the freaky sprites, though the view-from-behind was generally a disappointing mess for the cool-looking ones. :( |
