Probably Dragon Rage, expensive in the Game corner, so I assumed it would be good, but it was useless on My arcanine.

that's not a bad translation, that's because you were a dumb kid who would have done the same mistake if were english

anyway, all of the other italian translations are kind of terrible

Sucker Punch.

Fucking gen 1 man, no way to check what a move did before or after learning it, no way to restore old moves.

I have no idea why but I erased Fire Blast for Dragon Rage on my Charizard.

The german translation for Pound is "Pfund" which is the German word for the currency and weight measure Pound, but not a word that means "to pound someone"

In the anime, Charizard's Seismic Toss was called "aardbeving" in the Dutch dub. Aardbeving means earthquake.

They also translate swift in a weird way. It's either "snelle aanval", which translates to "quick attack" or "snel", which translates to "quick".

They also translated "Persian" literally in some episodes for some reason.

It could be taken as a concept rather than literally, but in a game where there are multiple other attacks in the format "Whatever Punch" and an ability that boosts the power of Punch attacks, the latter is much more likely.

Localizing it to include Punch in the name when the direct translation of "Ambush" fits the move fine already is silly.

Spanish:

Bullet seed=Recurrente, Recurrente is something that is happening now.

Return=Retroceso, like in coming back rather than rewarding.

Avalanche isnt avalancha, rather is Alud, Rock slide is avalancha.

Anime is terrible, thay cant keep up with the same name for the moves twice, even on the same episode, and phrases are so literal that lip synk is non existant.

The Anime only changes the names in the LA version because the adapters translate the moves directly from the English text. Like for example "Brave Bird"="Ave Brava", instead of "Pájaro Osado" like in the Spain version of the anime and the games (although sounds better Ave Brava than Pájaro Osado, imo). In Spain I think they're always right and have the names that have in the game.

I remember my rage when "Eterna City" was changed to "Ciudad Vetusta".

"Eterna" means the same fucking thing in Spanish. Vetusta is an archaic word of Spain that nobody ever uses. Dear God, just why

Ever wonder why you guys don't change the name of the Pokémon? Thanks to us, who got the 1st Gen anime and games earlier than you in original English it just was not wise to change the name of 150 creatures whose english name had already been known by most the spanish speaking crowd.

Fortunately, only the shitty translation of RB was ever sold here. Not complaining.

>Gen VI will be the first gen where the games are produced with all their names known, rather than the non-Japanese translations coming later.
>Whenever you see a Pokémon for the first time, rather than being named "A New Pokémon Appeared!" pops up, and you get a little animation of your trainer scanning it with your Pokédex. "Regional Nomenclatures Registered." then it provides you with a list of the Pokémon's name in every language. You pick one, and that's used as the default for all of those you encounter. You can open your Pokédex and switch it later if you feel like it.

Probably because that's how they translated Leech Seed in the anime.

The anime translations are really bad here. In the Johto saga, they translated Hyper Beam as Raio Solar, which actually means Solar Beam. I have no idea about how they did that mistake.
They also translated Tackle as Ataque de Agarrar, which means Grabbing Attack.
