In addition to this there's a bunch of countries that didn't get a native translation so the only option left for them is playing in English.

Still, even if that wasn't the case, complaining about people wanting to play a game in a language they understand is one of the most neckbeard things I have ever heard.

This one doesn't have the grammatical error everyone thinks it does.

'isn't understood at all yet.', is grammatically correct, but sounds extremely weird.

The error here is the apostrophe in 'it's', making it the contraction of 'it is' rather than making it a possessive pronoun.

No, the error I'm seeing people 'recognize' is YET.

'is not understood at all yet'

sounds far weirder than:

'has yet to be understood at all'
'isn't fully understood just yet'

'yet' in this case is easily read with its use as a conjunction in mind rather than a descriptor of the temporal state of the subject.

It's kind of like how 'the awards were given to you, me and alex' sounds just as good as (if not better than) 'the awards were given to alex, you and me' despite being grammatically incorrect.

But what you're talking about aren't errors, they're just varying degrees of what you consider eloquence. In one case you claimed one alternative was gramatically incorrect when it wasn't. You may not fully understand what grammar is.

"It's" when you mean "its" is categorically wrong. What sounds "weird" or not isn't necessarily a mistake.

>only possessive pronoun that doesn't use use an actual apostrophe.

Except for "his", "her," "their," "our," "your," and "my."

Yes, 3 people.

Compared to zero people who 'noticed' your grammatical structure.

Nobody cares how the sentence flows because everyone in the Pokemon world would speak differently anyway. But the apostrophe is a textbook error, nobody should make that mistake and it should never get through the proofreading stage

While the error with possessive pronouns was my fault, your failure to meet a certain level of reading comprehension is not.

I guess 'having a brain' must be a synonym for 'remembering insignificant rules from english classes', then. Face it, the only people who are going to catch that are:
-people who are currently enrolled in some form of english class covering the subject
-are anal enough to retain an understanding of such errors.

I'm willing to admit to being anal, since I'm arguing with some random fuck over the presumed ease of noticing a minute grammatical error in a game directed at kids.
