4th Gen 21st Century Language in D/P

[Tentachu]

I have noticed a lot of 21st century language in D/P (examples include 'noob' and 'owned'). What are your views on this?

 

[Cherrim]

I've been noticing them too. XD I'm rather amused, and I like the addition. I love seeing terms like these in games, it just...modernizes them? I don't even know what to call it, but it kinda shows the localizers are paying attention to what's "in," I guess.

Of course, in a couple years when I come back and replay the games...I'll probably think it's stupid. XD;

This is definite proof that Nintendo sort of "listens" to us fanboys. Phrases such as "for the win", noon, owned etc. all there, and I'm honestly not surprised. XD Nintendo has even made fun of Microsoft with Super Paper Mario...

...and even Sony with their "massive damage" quote in Star Fox Command.

I was talking about this with Forest Grovyle a while ago, and she showed me that in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, two Hammer Bros. were being controlled and speaking in 1337speak. XD Like "PWNAGE IS TEH NOT ENOUGH, MUST PWN BROS MOAR" etc.

Yes, Nintendo is definitely what we consider "in". XD

I think its awesome! =D
So far, I've only hear 'noob' and 'owned'.
Well, my rival said something close to that when I battled him at the League, but I forgot what it was. xD

 

[Simmons_2.0]

I like it. It actually gives some of the NPC's some character.

 

[Gyardosamped]

It's a good addition. The Pokemon Characters are way to educated in other games. Atleast they are making the games a little more kiddish.

I lol'd when I saw LOL and ROFL in the word bank.

When I saw the word noob I thought it meant like omg why the heck is this girl calling me a noob. ill own her =]

that, i found hilarious.
anyway, i too think this stuff is funny. when i first got to oreburgh and that guy took me to the gym, he was classic. "ill take you to the gym so you can get a badge. you dont want people calling you a noob do you?" that was awesome. and this one trainer after i won, "i cant believe i just get owned by a noob."
i havent seen it, but my friend says theres a guy who says, "man, i just got served by a kid", although i havent seen that one yet

 

[LawLessChaoz]

It's not like this game was made by 89 year old british guys.

 

[SSJ_Joe]

lmao i was rolling when the kid says u dont wanna look like a noob or w/e and when the galactic guy goes i got owned by a kid

 

[sithlord6]

Indeed, they are quite funny. I'm off +0 |_1|<3 |>|/\||\|50|\/|3 n00b +r41|\|3r5, 101.

It's not like this game was made by 89 year old british guys.

But it most definitely looked like so in the previous games, due to the immense formality.

 

[El Diabeetus]

I noticed those to but the word I see the most is Nifty!

EDIT: The Newest one I saw was When I beat a hiker and he said he Got SERVED!

 

[Empass]

I really was caught off guard but I think it's a nice addition. It's a little annoying but at least Nintendo isn't doing everything in shorthand. E.g.: zOMG PWNT by a n00b?! WTF!

 

[Aether]

OMG, I absolutely cracked up when the kid in Oreburgh said "noob" It's really awesome seeing Nintendo starting to get in on 1337 sp33k.

 

[El Diabeetus]

They say noob in Byrons Gym too.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

wow I haven't noticed that, its a good idea because since we are using these words, why can't the games that we enjoy use them

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

 

[Gunn]

I have noticed this as well.

I recall a Youngster Trainer saying, "Oh snap!" too.

 

[wakachamo]

Wow, Nintendo seriously is applying themselves to regular 'net speak. XD
