1st Gen Dialogue Oddities

Nurse Joy: We hope to see you again!
That's just cruel. If a real life hospital personnel would say that law suits or warnings would follow.

Never thought of it like that. In R/B/Y, for some reason, instead of saying "Your POKeMON are fully healed," she would say "Your POKeMON are fighting fit." Which I always found weird, they changed it.
This isn't odd now, as I realize they were possessed, but the Channelers in Pokemon Tower. Two of them said, before the battle, "Give me your soul!" and "Give...me...blood!". It kind of was a great way give kids nightmares, Nintendo.

Most kids back hen eith couldn't or didn't read. The real nightmares were the sprites. I shat myself after re-playing blue. Grimer looked horrifying. I could go on. D:

I mean, they're still freaking awesome but scary for small children... BRING THAT BACK, GAMEFREAK.

I thought the exact same thing about the nurses. They actually WANT you to have your pokemon wounded.

I mean, I can understand that one nurse in the center by Mt. Silver saying that because it must get lonely there.

As fort he shorts... How does he know I'm not wearing shorts? They could be under my pants... Jerk...
 
Mewtwo152 said:
I read it, and it scared me, okay?
Does anyone else find it odd that, as opposed to "Hahaha" or "Mwahaha" people laughed with "Fwahaha"?
Yes, the sprites were disturbing. WTF, Game Freak, upside-down Koffing?
Click to expand...
Of just "Fufufufu"
At first I thought they were swearing a line at me. "Eff you eff you eff you eff you"

And an Executor with a giant, looming face with the light in just the right place to make it look likr a zombie tree?
 
"Hair didn't fall out! It was an evil spirit!"

...Yyyyokay.
And yeah, gotta love the freaky sprites, though the view-from-behind was generally a disappointing mess for the cool-looking ones. :(
 
Speaking of sprites, Haunter was pretty terrifying, which is gladly the point....since he's a ghost and all.

btw, anyone else raise and eyebrow when walking blissfully towards Mt. Moon, and a Lass comes out of nowhere from the grass and accuses you of staring at her? I was like 10 and saying "She's the one in the bushes!"
 
Ah, yes. Not to mention the lass who walks out of the tall grass, over to you (blissfully minding your own business) and asks: "Eww! Did you touch me?" or words along those lines. Tch.
 
Lol :

"Youngster ?! Goodness, how rude ! Call me Shorts Boy !"

Random Kanto youngster. Even now I can't keep a straight face when I hear it or read it ! :) :D
 
I just played through the S.S. Anne, and a sailor said this to me. "I like fiesty children." .....WTF?!
 
In Viridian Forest
The Lass in yellow says
"Aw you have a pikachu . Can i play with it ?"

O.O Eww

Classic.
Anyone notice that Celadon is Kanto's pedo heaven? First, the old guy outside the gym, and as I relearned today, the fat Game Freak guy who is always talking about how good-looking the women's sprites are? What creeps me out is in G/S/C, he talks about Jasmine and Whitney, who are like 12.

Those were the days ~

The days before pokemon was thought of as devil worship. XD

Then again, it was ballsy of them to make a church in DPPt.

There's too many pedo hints, I think they did that on purpose. Best part is that they maintained most of the dialogue in FRLG. XD

Keep in mind that Misty is like 10 or 11 XD

Oh, and the mention of Mew being from South America, or at least been seen there.

Oddities! Martian Oddities!

meh, all it means is that Mewtwo is a Guyanese immigrant. one oddity found is that in crystal (although this is proly just an oversight) one of the girl trainers you fight in natinonal park calls you cute, regardless if you're playing as a girl or boy.

Although, since gambling is apparently bad, they changed "I'm a ramblin', gamblin' dude!" which saddened me.
Speaking of pedos, thismakes me think of the anime, in the Japanese Beauty And The Beach, the one guy wanted to "have fun" with Misty in 8 years.

Game related, though it might not technically be dialouge, in the original Stadium, how few of the compressed cries sounded anything like the Game Boy cries.

Didn't you know Johto is notorious for its open bisexual community?

Kurt's a []D [] []\/[] []D XD *when was the last time anyone's ever done that? :P*

I'm sure all of you with a Gen 1 game will recall this quip early on in the game.

"It's encylopedia-like..." That confused me when I was 10 so badly. The translaters couldn't have just said "It's like an encyclopedia," no. They just had to add the hyphen and make me ponder what the like an encylopedia-like was for about a week.
