There's a trainer on the route before Ice Path who talks about different colored Pokemon being more valuable. After a fight he just says something the like of "you mean that's not true?". I mostly remember because that route also happens to be the one where I encountered my first random shiny.

Aw, that's a nice coincidence! Then again, I suppose it's close enough to a certain scripted shiny you can get in those games <3

Actually I did obtain a shiny Pokémon... I got a shiny Skitty VPP :D
Of course, the shiny sprite looks like a regular sprite so I need to explicitly brag about it for people to know.

Different languages or at least dialects and accents can add a lot of character, especially when used in games. It's something I like about the Xenoblade games, for example.

Even dialects within your own language can be pretty fun :)

True! Even people from different parts of my region do pick on each other's little variations on our dialect you know :p

Speaking of dialects, the Arabic language is very funny (I must say I'm not an Arabic speaker, I had someone explain it to me). The Arabic language is a continuum from the West of North Africa to the East. Meaning that two people from two countries that share a border can understand each other. However, if you're from Morocco (from the West of North Africa), you will have trouble understanding an Egyptian or a Saudi Arabian (from the East of North Africa).
Besides, there is the Modern Standard Arabic, which is basically the written Arabic you learn at school, which is common to everyone.

I find it funny that they are dialects of the same language but depending on the dialect, not any two people can understand each other. It's not the case for Spanish, whose variants are all understandable ^^

239059 i think swsh is the first game that's been in british english, all other games i played were in us english, not too surprising we didnt have a localisation until then as there's not much difference between the two. i think ive heard that quebec gets their own quebecois version rather than the eu french one.

Italian feels like a bunch of different languages that are not really that intelligible :P

The Belgians got a version of Dutch called Flemish, which sounds extremely funny to us (I imagine we sound funny or weird to them too).
There's also Frisian. Which is unintelligible to me and sounds like an entirely different language 😂

English is like that where I live. Over the border, the Scots speak English but it's quite hard for some Southerners to understand apparently. One of our TV companies got a lot of complaints for subtitling a Scottish program not that long ago.

But peeps from around the border can understand them, and in turn, people from a little further south can understand them and so on :)

The Scottish accent is the hardest for me ^^" No offence, it's just too far from what I hear all the time, that is, the British / American / Canadian accents; I also heard the Australian accent at work and it didn't seem too hard for me.

Reminds me that time when I started to learn Greek, then Russian, on Duolingo :)

Apparently it's the Scottish accent I heard (this actor from my favourite TV series was born in Glasgow). Here's another video I watched for reference ^^
I like that they pronounce "r" like in Spanish ^^

What's strange to me, is that I don't make the difference between most American speakers. I would assume that such a big country would have a flourishing list of accents but it's not what I seem to hear ^^"

I have to admit that the hardest English accent for me is Indian, because I'm not used to it yet and I've heard very few times... Scottish is also difficult but less so for me, and also sounds quite interesting ^-^

indian english can be tricky when you're not used to it yeah, but tbh greek english accents are the most oddest to listen to haha. the intonations are all off, for a lot of greek english speakers and it's cute hehe. sorry, all greeks, not meaning to offend!

Dutch people in general speaking English can be easily spotted by their accent =p
It's quite distinct imo

tbh my dutch friends speaking english on Discord don't sound like they have much of an accent at all. Or maybe it's just so similar to my own that I don't react to it.

Agreed, it's not that noticeable in most cases ^-^
Unlike me, apparently...

I wanna say I barely have an accent. Partly because I never actually indulged in my local accent and partly because I don't speak that much irl. xD

That video was fun! Also really sad :(

In Glasgow though, he would sound quite posh, and he was very easy to understand. It can be a pretty hard accent to understand in the real world, even for other Scots sometimes.

Half of my family are Geordie and the other half are old sheep farmers. My partner can't understand either accent particularly well 😅
