Is SM the worst Pokemon dialogue has ever been? That's saying a lot.

I've been playing through it recently and it's just astounding how lazy and stupid the dialogue is. It's like the whole game was written by the "I like shorts" writer, then run through Google Translate to get it into English.

I'm playing through an XY difficulty mod and the character interactions make zero sense. The professor just called me to Lysandre Cafe so its namesake could give me some crap about cleansing the world of filth and then hand me a rock which he just so happened to carry around with him in apology for said rant before hurrying away.

And the interactions with your 'friends' are even more confusing.

This. B2W2 had a fair amount of bad dialogue, but the game still usually made sense when something happened. XY has a lot of "go here cause we say so now leave with no actual new info" like the whole fucking arc near the beginning where Snorlax is on the bridge. You go a few places, get the flute and return, nut there's just so much shit dialogue that feels useless in the middle

You know what? It's actually the american translation.
In french his name is a play on word "Lenny Gmatik" which is a 2 name that say "Enig - Matik"

Every dialogue i have seen in demo from the french and US version, i have noticed that it's been simplified in the US one.

It's a Hawaii thing. There are groups of people in Hawaii that don't like non-natives or non-Hawaiian-born people coming to the islands. The term "Haole" is used as a derogative for anyone (especially white people) who move to or visit the islands from other places and "ruin" the culture and environment for Hawaiian people.

Thus, "were you flew here or were you grew here" is Team Skull wanting to know if you're a dirty fucking Haole.

A better question is this:
Why do the mainline Pokemon games always have such horrible, lifeless dialogue?
Why after 7 generations, have they not hired a more competent localization team?

It's like everything is translated literally with zero personality or creativity thrown in and it's been like that for 20 years.

It's a Nintendo series. Every single one of their main IP games (with the exception of maybe a few Metroid titles) has this sort of weightless silly childish dialogue. It contributes to their sense of lighthearted fun and all-ages playability.
