I'm this town's gym leader and I'm also a model
...or something like that.
The games feature interesting dialogue from many different characters. Ranging from N's "let me hear the voices of your Pokemon" to Elesa's very inspiring line about being a model. Has any of it proven to be amusing to you or stood out in general? Inspiring even? Share your favourite pieces of dialogue within the games. :) And do you think certain parts of dialogue weren't needed? If so, discuss! |
I had to read every one of Clay's lines aloud in the voice of the Rich Texan. Does that count?
|
The model line is gold. PURE GOLD. Seriously, favorite line in the games ever.
Though in all seriousness, some of the translations is pretty poor. A lot of phrasing and word choices are very awkward sounding. |
Quote:
Anyway, back on B/W topic... Cheren has some weird lines sometimes. "My goal is to defeat all of the Gym Leaders and then the Champion... then maybe people will admit that I am a strong trainer." He's only in it for the fame. :/ |
Over by the Marvelous Bridge there is a sign that (if I remember correctly) reads:
"Truly marvelous, and also a bridge." This isn't really a character, but it was one of the few lines in the entire series that made me laugh. |
There's a socialite trainer I faced on the battle subway who said, in the Japanese version: "年上のレディはいかが、とってもジューシー熟れ熟れよ". Which means: "How would you like an older lady? I'm very juicy and ripe." Or something along those lines. I haven't played the English version so I don't know if they decided to keep this line in, but I doubt it.
|
I remember someone when I first met N, and he said "More! Let me hear more of your Pokemon words(or something along those lines)!" And I was pretty creeped out.
Actually, most of what N says is really strange. |
There are some cool and strange things said in the game. I like how Clay talks, he is very funny. When N says stuff it is usually pretty weird, I am like, okay......
|
I found Clay pretty amusing, it's the first time I've noticed in a Pokemon game where someone has been given a specific accent which has been tried to be portrayed through the dialogue.
I also liked how they made N look as though he spoke quicker than other characters, it gave the NPC a bit more character. |
Definitely the male toddler that screamed "RAH HYPER BEAM!" You just can't beat that even though the Model one was damn good.
|
Got to be the model line. |
When you are on the ferris wheel, and you picked the male character, you would go on the ride with a hiker. "It's getting kinda hot in here isn't it? I'm all sweaty." Kinda creepy. Also on that note, the female character rides up the ferris wheel with a maid. "Yes... Oh? Oh... wow!" Things along those lines. I like the ferris wheel :3

OMG She actually says she's a model! I love her even more now =3
Platinum's text is pretty funny, but it seems like Black and White will be just as funny if not funnier. I've learned to read all text slowly so when I see coz gems, I'll post it. And lol Scarf xD Wait, Nimbassa's a city not a town. Is that the funny? Dumb model? xD |
i feel'd strange when Cheren said to Bianca that she is late for ten years. :D
|
Quote:
Another thing I found amusing was how quickly Bianca's dad changed his mind after Elesa talked to him lol. Quote:
|
Anything N says is worded... Oddly. I spent most of the story parts with him literally shouting to my DS "WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY EVEN SAYING?"
And then there's that maid on the battle subway. Something along the lines of how people like her for her outfit. I took this in a pervymenlikedirtymaids kinda way. o_o |
Quote:
I loved the model line, but one thing that cracked me up was on the way to the top of the Dragonspiral Tower, you would hear Reshirams voice (only in white) followed by this: "Burn, baby, burn!" o_O I thought that I might've gotten a fake game or something. XD |
Quote:
Actually, I don't like the dialogues in this game much. It's much too short, unless it's N, which is much too long. :( |
Quote:
|
Near the end of the game, the things the Shadow Triad say about N's room. I found that very interesting, especially when you go in the room and look around. That coupled with the way he spoke to you after beating Ghetsis were probably the speech parts I liked best. Oh! And I just wanted to give Bianca a hug and make her feel better at least half a dozen times throughout the story. >w<; (Why... do I feel like the only person who didn't hate her sometimes?)
A couple of things I found on the contrary, were when plasma grunts screamed plasma. That broke immersion for me and I was like ew. When you hear Burn baby burn near the top of Dragonspiral tower, it just left me feeling weird. Without any imagery to accompany it, that line just didn't fit, I found. I don't think Cheren got enough character development... but none of these things came remotely close to ruining the game for me. |
I hated just about everything Cheren said. Seemed like kind of a jerk to me.
Bianca never really made all that much sense, but I liked her. Some of the stuff N said was cool, but anything else was a bit confusing. Oh. But I did find it funny that Bianca was everyone's bodyguard. |
"Burn baby, burn!"
first was like 0.o then was like :/ then last XD |
Pretty much ANYTHING anyone says to you on the Ferris Wheel is hilarious if you have a perverted enough mind.
Oh, yeah, and the Marvelous Bridge. "It's marvelous.....and also a brige! XD |
Also not a character, but I love how the bookshelves give the notice that "All the books are neat and orderly" and something like that. It makes me think of subliminal messaging to get kids to clean their rooms. xD

I love the dialogue in these game. It's much better than previous games, without going into detail.
Also, "Burn baby, burn!"? I completely missed that when I played. NOW I MUST FREAKING RESTART WHITE JUST SO I CAN HEAR THAT XD |
I can't find the dialogue for the French trainers anywhere online :/ I wanted to show the text to my boyfriend and translate it, but I can't find it at all. Is there a site where I could find that kind of thing? I know both their names and where they're found, just not what they say.
|
There's a youngster in the football stadium who says something like: "I'm not wearing shorts! They're half-pants!"
I thought it was funny. |
I have no idea the exact wording of it, but the fact that Team Plasma wants to liberate the pokemon, and make all of them free, and yet Ghiest[sorry for the incorect spelling] states that only Team Plasma will be allowed to use pkemon. If anything pokemon should be liberated from them.
I also know it's not a line in the game but the fact that it actuly shows plasma members kicking Muna. Sure Team Rocket did bad things, like alledegly killing a marowak, but they never shown pokemon abuse like they did in this game. In a way it's brutal, and I got a kick out of it. |
Battle subway multi team/ A biker says: Im a biker that doesn't ride a bike, while he is sitting on one. And then he drives a motorcycle onto the seat of a train.
8l |
That biker guy from Driftveil is my bro.
He is a heartbreaker... His name is Charles... |
Quote:
|
There was another guy (I think he was a biker) on the Battle Subway who says something like, "I'm stupid and bad, but I'm very enthusiastic about Pokemon." Good for him.
|
Just check my sig. It was amazingly deep for a pokemon game.
|
Quote:
But yeah, all of Team Plasma's nonsense is really hilarious, they sound like a ignorant, self-righteous [insert any demographic or institution, really] group. |
I'm not gonna do spoilers but i really really enjoyed talking with cheren after the main story, back near where you first meet alder and the preschoolers.
|
I've only liked the "Plasbad" comment and the Undella Bay swimmer girl that said I must only be here to see Cynthia in a bathing suit. She later said Cynthia only swims when noone is around.
Personally, I just like some of the Pokedex entries. |
There was some preschooler in route 3, "Go, Hyper Beam!" Well something along those lines. I kinda liked that kid. :')

Quote:
"Professor Juniper word's echoed.. TRAINER! There's a time and place for everything! But not now." Idk.. Lol i know that im pressing the wrong item! why does it have to just insult me?! lol only joking.. but im sure you get my point. http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9899/dddddddddddddddddddde.png |
AND ALSO A MODEL BECAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY RELEVANT TO THE CURRENT SITUATION KTHX
Really, Elesa cracked me up with that. It was kind of disappointing, actually, because she was #1 on the list of characters I wanted to meet. I remember a very philosophical preschooler near the daycare on Route 3, though I can't actually recall what he said. :( It was pretty deep for a toddler, at least. Also when the gym caretaker asks for a cut of your winnings in exchange for all the Fresh Water he gave you. I didn't think he was serious for a moment, but it was still funny. Oh, and Marvellous Bridge, of course. Dear Lord. |
Two bits really inspired me....
The city were Elesa reigns (Nimbasa? I think...) Where Biana gets scolded by her dad. She was saying something about how he worries about all the bad people she may encounter, but she mentions all the great people too. I really related since my parents are so overprotective. Another was something a Plasma grunt said. It was like, "I don't accept any views different from my own!" I liked it cause it's teaching kids that only bad guys think like that, and you should be accepting :)) |
"She's only a model."
"Shhh!" And thus ends this thread's obligatory Holy Grail reference. |
A trainer somewhere in Twist Mountain said "I'm the second best trainer in this mountain" (or something close to that) before you battle him.

Quote:
I would've loved a Fallout reference though.... "Pokemon, Pokemon never changes....." |
"Truly marvelous, and also a bridge." and "Plasbad!" have been mentioned, but...
I was battling through Celetial Tower, and came across a lady who said "Battle with me, I have a strong Pokemon!" So I defeated her, of course, and then she said... "Oh that's right, that Pokemon is no longer with me." It just about broke my heart. ;-; |
Oh, so there's some kid in a house and another one on Route 2 (i think?) who says something about something then goes "I know that!"
I'm reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and that's what the kid who's narrating the book says. My geek spheres are touching each other, weird O_o (book geek and game geek) |
Skyla's entire speech at Tower of Heaven, it just had me loling the whole time telling her to shut up. I swear she's into the boy trainer u start with in that case me.
|
Though I've noticed a few instances of awkward grammar, some random trainers I've come across say some pretty profound stuff. Anybody else notice these guys and their oddly deep philosophizing?

I agree that the dialogue seems a bit clunky at times- I heard that this is a new translation team, so that might explain it. It's often difficult to write dialogue that sounds natural without constantly thinking it. Despite that, I think this game has an excellent script, and all the characters have distinct voices when I read their lines. Bianca sounds like a teenage girl, Clay's accent is great, and N does genuinely make me believe he's an intelligent, well-meaning guy that just isn't good with people (makes sense given how little human contact he had growing up). I've also noticed lots of NPCs talking about how much they love their Pokemon, and discussing ways that humans and Pokemon benefit each other. It's a good way of showing how Team Plasma's got the wrong idea. I'm greatly looking foward to the E4 and final battles, since I'm only now at Opelucid in Black. I can't wait to see the endgame conflicts and actually be able to read some text along with it... |
I love all these quotes jsyk.
Buuut, I just came across something that made me lol: "Yeah. The world is connected." From some dude in Driftveil. It's like... yeah... you think I don't know that? XD; |
Some of the Battle Subway quotes are laughably awful.

I like this line from the Team Plasma grunts: "This is bad! Badbadbadbadbadbadbadbad! Or Plasbad for short!" I also find them screaming out "Plasmaaaaaa!" when they're defeated hilarious.

Also Ghestisis' whole speech about how N is heartless :( It made me feel for the guy! What a meanie! :( For the most part, I notice that most of the spellings are American and as a total spelling Nazi, and being from across the pond, this irritates me xD |
i would have to say the things people say on the ferris wheel. its just O.o
i like elesa's line about being a model its just like she had to throw that in. ^_^ and it made me laugh |
Quote:
I loved the Marvelous bridge sign. I thought it was supposed to be a joke. A lot of the random stuff people have said about different ideas is interesting. Some random hiker guy was like "people in different cities can have such different ideas about things! It makes life interesting." |
I thought the Marvelous Bridge one was an allusion to internet memes where people would be like "YEAH IT'S AWESOME MAN" "AND IT'S A FISH"
or something stupid like that. but I laughed nontheless. |
I have a boy character, then N suddenly pops out saying "Let's ride the ferriswheel".. O.o
hell its awkward whenever i think about it... |
Quote:
Anyways, I feel like sometimes, I would like to hit N right in the face. I was like, "SHUT UP ALREADY! You're blocking the way! I don't care about your schemes, as long as you block me, I have to smash you to bits!" Quote:
And is it really THAT irritating that the B/W had American spellings even though it's the EUR version? |

I just experience the model speech xD Even though I knew about it, I though she'd say it at her Gym, not in that situation xD I luff her =3 Her sprite is really skinny though o_O
And N on the Ferris Wheel, "I am the king of Team Plasma", it's like he'll kill you afterwards :( |

The ferris wheel has some very awkward moments lol. |

I think it was cool how the former team rocket member with bad english from HG/SS (I think its in these games) goes off to start team rocket in a far-away region, and ends up quoting about being married in Black/white.
anyone else catch that? |
anybody spotted the shorts guy yet, he's training in the abundant shrine
Gamefreak sure likes youngsters and thier shorts |
Quote:
In real life, I would be like " What is wrong with you, creep?" Then just run away. |

I was quite surprised with Brycen's dialogue. The Gym Leader battle with him was initiated immediately after I pressed A infront of him; he barely said anything at all. I was expecting some kind of philosophical mini-speech about Ice-type Pokémon but all he said was:
"You appear ready to face a Gym Leader. Then... Bring it!" I like how concise his vocal mannerisms are & I enjoyed the comment by the Gym Caretaker after Brycen is defeated: "From Brycen, I've learned how to say more with fewer words." Pretty much sums him up. |
I think this was in Chargestone Cave, and I was battling the Team plasma members, and one, when they noticed me, comes up to me and said: "Show me your strength!"
It made me laugh, because it instantly reminded me of Captain Falcon and his "Show me your moves!" |
Quote:
"Senior trainer mom, off!" made me laugh. I even imagined the main character saying "MOM STOP EMBARASSING MEEEEEEE" I really love Clay's lines. :D |
"Doesn't this entire room kind of smell like Patrat?" - in one of the houses on Village Bridge.
1. Wtf. 2. Yes because we can smell through the DS... That text is just awkward & really random imo. |
The baker that's part of the audience at the PokeMusical. She says our performance changed her life...
Seriously? Her life must be lame then if automated dancing Pokemon who wear awkward looking things and can only appeal with two items change her life. |
"Burn baby, burn!"
I was like... summarizing it up... WTF? "Plasmaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" ... Ghetsis saying N has no heart. Actually, he has more heart than Ghetsis, that sick minded old sage. The horoscopes on TV. Seriously, WTF? |
Elsa is the most sexually suggestive person in the entire game, just so you know. Seriously, just look at her character design :/
Also, the Daycare Man says "I don't know how it got there". No, you know exactly how the egg got here. What a liar. |
There was a line spoken by Cheren that said something along the lines of "I must become the Champion to prove that I am really alive". I thought it was humorous given that nobody usually says that sort of thing aloud.
|
Quote:
When I was in Cold Storage, one of the workers there said, "Wear clothes when you are cold. Only humans could have come up with something so clever!" For some reason that made me laugh really hard x3 |
Crap..I had one that was super funny, pretty sure N/Bianca/Cheren said it..I was like O..O...? Because it was just..weird. The model one was awesome though..Go Elesa!<3.
|
"My team is always DYNAMIC"
"I... I am a Policeman! Why has justice failed?" "Bad for Team Plasma! Or Plasbad for short!" "I'm a heart breaker....my name...Charles" "NOOO! I LOOOOOOOST! PLASSSSSSMAAAAAAAAA!!" Cynthia is so dirty: "Ha ha. You prefer to take things slowly and rationally, am I right? When you're ready, come talk to me. I'll be happy to see you." |
I just ride the feris wheel with the rich boy for the first time. Why would someone who feels sick ride a ferris wheel?
|
Ah! The guy in Marvelous Bridges lobby! By the fountain thing. He looks like a scientest and says " Why do people drink from vending machines?TO keep checking that..Is my dream" XD totally random dude staring intently at a vending machine? Win.
|
Female swimmer in Undella Bay: "Did you come here to see Cynthia in a bathing suit?"
My response: HELL YES. |
"What?! I created Team Plasma with my own hands. I'm absolutely perfect! I AM PERFECTION! I am the perfect ruler of a perfect new world!" Ghetsis' speeches were so moving, I felt the storyline was made by him and N. The storyline of these two characters was truly Magnificent.
|
I battled this veteran in the Nimbasa stadium. When I beat her, she said, "No matter how much we grow up, we'll always be trainers!"
:'D |
Quote:
Charles was also hilarious. |
Quote:
(Yeah I said it. A quote from B/W is adorable). |
Quote:
Back On Topic, I Always Find It Sort Of Weird That If You Beat A Trainer, Leave That Route/Cave/Mountain/Building/Etc And Come Back, Talk To Them, And Repeat, They Always Say The Same Thing. I Know They're Pixels, But Still. |
Something I came across today. When you battle Bianca on the bridge between the 7th and 8th gym towns, and you get to her last Pokémon, she says something like "Every time I watch my pokémon battle, it ends up like this!" And it kind of touched me. I was actually overwhelmed by the fact that it touched me xD
I've also gotten kind of bored, I guess, by the dialogues of Cheren and Bianca. They say the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Cheren will always say something in the sense of "What does it mean to be strong?" and Bianca will say "I've been thinking about what I want to do in life". Really Bianca, I know that by now! Other than that, Bianca is really sweet. |

Player " In other words it will take about 2 more minutes for them to have a child together " |
"There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..."
I always make sure I hit Grimsley before the last one during my E4 runs, just so I can hear that line again. I love it :D. |
Quote:
I can't remember the exact quote, but Grimsley says something like: "Contests like this are proof we are really living..." That's just...weird :\ And a few of the Roughneck's in the Battle Subway who call themselves losers and stuff :( |
