>>56507010>she assumes the player thinks the Dragon's Breath TM has something to do with her breathShe has a perfectly reasonable to think the player might be about to say something like this, in the original japanese.
>When Clair gives the player TM24 (DragonBreath) in Generation II, she says, "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." This was a pun lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a joke remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has halitosis. Because she gives out TM59 (Dragon Pulse) in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming embarrassed. >I think her and the player character are supposed to be around the same age in gen 2, but basically everybody 10~18 looks the same in Pokemon games so it's hard to tell.I agree that it's hard to tell characters' ages from Sugimori's art, especially the earlier stuff. But look at this art from Crystal. This character is clearly meant to be an adult woman.
