This. A Pokemon falling asleep (due to Hypnosis or Yawn or similar) =/= Rest. A Pokemon landing on the ground for any reason =/= Roost. Those moves are techniques, not simple actions: they're a specific skill the Pokemon has to master. It's like how Agility is defined in-game as "the user...

I'm not remotely brave enough to attempt a duo! It's 4 or nothing for me (and all high-level players at that, if I see anyone below level 50 I'm inclined to dip)

To the poor brave souls attempting Registeel max battles today, I wish you nothing but the best

First of all, this is great work and probably the kind of thread I enjoy most of all on here. Ages back I idly created a document with some concepts for new Pokemon if I were ever to direct a game and eventually started trying to create a ~400-sized regional dex and it's SO difficult. It'll be...

Jfc I am so old, I genuinely truly don't know what this is supposed to mean

Browsing Twitter and just saw this, don't know anything else about it but just a heads up for anyone interested

Translation really is a fascinating thing, because sometimes a simple slight mistranslation can colour your whole interpretation of a character. Case in point: Giovanni. When the player defeats him for the final time in the Gen I games, he has this to say: "Having lost, I cannot face my...

Thinking about replaying HGSS sometime soon, and with the benefit of (16 years...!) hindsight, I can't help but dwell on how much of a swing and a miss these games were when it came to redesigning the Johto region. Now when I say redesigning, I don't mean I wanted a complete overhaul. Neither...

Very much. Congrats on finishing!

How big is a US state supposed to be? Alaska is 665,384 square miles while Rhode Island is 1,545 square miles. For that matter, how big is an island meant to be? Greenland is 836,330 square miles while there are islands all over the world smaller than many houses. What about how big a country is...

Had no time the last couple of days but just went through and added most/all the suggested names to their respective tables. Gen 1 is about 4/5 done, just a few weird outliers left.

You are killing this, incredible work Will check the table, quite likely I missed some capitalisations

Accepted - these match the Chinese names Dim light fish? I initially wondered about deep light fish too Ah yes, this makes sense in light of the earlier Porygon answer Seems likely Hadn't looked at those two properly but yes, you're right!

Okay, found transliterations for the Gen 3 gang too (though I'm less sure about those ones - a lot don't appear to match at all)
