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?

luke March 22nd, 2011 8:00 PM

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.

Hahaha... I used to read Professor Birch's lines (sometimes out loud) in Professor Farnsworth's voice! xD

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.

Esper March 22nd, 2011 11:10 PM

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.

インフェルノの津波 March 22nd, 2011 11:12 PM

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.

tjb90 March 23rd, 2011 1:39 AM

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......

lamby101 March 23rd, 2011 4:02 AM

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.

EJ March 23rd, 2011 7:01 AM

Definitely the male toddler that screamed "RAH HYPER BEAM!" You just can't beat that even though the Model one was damn good.

Captain Fabio March 23rd, 2011 8:38 AM

Got to be the model line.
Pure Gold!


CrowSama March 23rd, 2011 9:11 AM

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

HAHAHAHA, I've had the Maid one happen to me. I was totally caught off-guard. XD

Bluerang1 March 23rd, 2011 9:22 AM

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

TheMarkCrafter March 23rd, 2011 9:24 AM

i feel'd strange when Cheren said to Bianca that she is late for ten years. :D

Yeah I also thought it was amusing. I was getting high hopes on her character before the game but then she came and said that...

Another thing I found amusing was how quickly Bianca's dad changed his mind after Elesa talked to him lol.

Same. There's quite a lot of lines that can be interpreted in a ecchi way in this game xD.

Daydream March 23rd, 2011 10:42 AM

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

LOL. XD
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

I face palmed at that line. I mean, seriously? Does she need to announce to random people that her side job's a model?

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. :(

I laughed at that too, In my mind I was "no duh it's also a bridge why would it be called that xD"

Dawn March 23rd, 2011 11:13 AM

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.

DPooch March 23rd, 2011 12:13 PM

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.

dieter57 March 23rd, 2011 12:24 PM

"Burn baby, burn!"
first was like 0.o
then was like :/
then last XD

ISA56 2.0 March 23rd, 2011 12:29 PM

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

d3lv March 23rd, 2011 2:19 PM

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
