How'd you beat DPPt without fighting Fantina? O.o

Nakuzami March 23rd, 2011 2:27 PM

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

Oryx March 23rd, 2011 2:34 PM

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.

iRoyBoy March 23rd, 2011 2:53 PM

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.

otakulily March 23rd, 2011 3:00 PM

That biker guy from Driftveil is my bro.

He is a heartbreaker... His name is Charles...

Another good Battle Subway one was the preschooler that says "A hero never dies" when he loses. It threw me off...that's deep, kid.

Woobat March 23rd, 2011 3:14 PM

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.

Sasuke. March 23rd, 2011 3:18 PM

Just check my sig. It was amazingly deep for a pokemon game.

Man, when Plasma was kicking Munna, I near freaked out. I was sitting at a coffee bar with my boyfriend and he was all, "Calm down, it's a game."

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.

TaurusFire March 23rd, 2011 9:11 PM

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.

Pwnyta Jockey March 23rd, 2011 10:09 PM

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.

Rawrinism March 23rd, 2011 11:01 PM

There was some preschooler in route 3, "Go, Hyper Beam!" Well something along those lines. I kinda liked that kid. :')

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!

Yes, I do, Idk if anybody has said this, or maybe you quite enjoy it. But from what i think is a line that i could live without it would have to be this line..

"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.

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.

You're Gonna Go Far Kid! March 24th, 2011 1:52 AM

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 :))

pieguy259 March 24th, 2011 8:22 AM

"She's only a model."
"Shhh!"

And thus ends this thread's obligatory Holy Grail reference.

Drekin March 24th, 2011 2:00 PM

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.

I think he is the reincarnate of a super duper good trainer. (Or Red from Silver/Gold)

I would've loved a Fallout reference though....

"Pokemon, Pokemon never changes....."

Aquacorde March 24th, 2011 2:17 PM

"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. ;-;

d3lv March 24th, 2011 3:14 PM

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)

Pochama95 March 24th, 2011 3:22 PM

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.

Hoohking March 24th, 2011 3:24 PM

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?

...allegedly? One of the NPCs in Lavender says they even saw the Rockets kill Marowak. Who else would have done it, the rival? ...OK, he might have done it...

I don't know why, but I have a feeling he's going to be a breakout character in the fandom from here on out. He's gonna be like Bruce Ironstaunch or Strong Bad.

Somehow, this needs to end up in the third version.

I had a sudden "No More Heroes" moment there. I was like... does that make my Excadrill a beam katana? And then I thought that that was pretty cool.

Hey, you don't want her, I'll take her.

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...
