Buffeted, just like Platinumdude. Can't really remember anything else but I do remember that I used to always pronounce Geodude as Gouda because I had NO idea how it was pronounced hahaha.

I learned a load of colours from Gen I and II. The difference between fuchsia and mauve, for example, is just STRIKING! If anyone mentions viridian or saffron or cerulean, I know exactly what they're talking about, and it's all thanks to Pokemon.

"Buffeted," "elixir," "ether" (I pronounced it as though it rhymed with "weather"), "barrage," and "uppercut."

when I was just 14 years old and played the gold rom on pc: (before they were out)
the only thing that was more or less translated was. Hey you are pretty good don't you want my number.

the 'pretty good' was the thing I learnt from the games- since before that I only knew the 'pretty' as in 'pretty girl' meaning.

and then some others later (on english roms where I have played the local language already) 'potion, antidote, repel. lol.

TERRAIN. WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE THE MOST AWESOME WORD EVER. I felt like such a smart kid for knowing what that meant really. Route... not so much. But I didn't know it before!

Like all of you though, probably elixir, protege was a definite, omg there's so much more!! :( Uhhh foe, yeah. Johto/Hoenn basically taught me everything since I was at the age to learn things more then. XD

OH. BRAILLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME RANDOM THING UNTIL I WAS LIKE "OH... THIS IS REAL."

Remind me to play through Hoenn sometime soon so I can remember more, because I'm 99% sure there's a lot more from Hoenn. I love this thread btw, but yeah! I'll try and think of more and come back to edit, or post or something like that. :)

Also I'm sure Ranger taught me some words too, idk.

Let's see, I started in first grade, so I learned:
Paralyze, confusion, psychic, rare, buffeted, teeter, hyper, beam, bolt, cycling, awaken, tomb, ruins, surf, blast, quiz, and so many more. I wasn't the brightest little kid. :'D
