This is the dumbest translation choice since gen 5.

Lots of things. The script flowed much more awkwardly than any game before it, tons of English Pokemon names were ridiculous-sounding for the sake of cramming 3 or 4 pun references into a single name (I still remember the shitstorm when Oshawott's English name was revealed, for example), and then shitty 4kids-tier ability names like "Big Pecks", "Sap Sipper", and "Justified" (like this anon said >>34677017). Not to mention the "Dire Hit is called Dire Hit in other regions!" NPC. It was very, very easy to tell that gen 5 was translated by another team.

Localisation teams really shouldn't do shit like this, regardless. Maybe in the current game it makes sense, but down the road it is going to run into some contextual error.

Look at the number of four legged/winged/etc. Pokémon that learn Sucker Punch (originally just Surprise Attack).

This is just a pain later on.

A lot of Gen 5 attacks had perfectly good names that were literally in english that were changed regardless when it was localised, right? I remember Shell Blade become Razor Shell being one of the weirder choices.

Also, why the fuck is it the only gen where the region name is completely different?

To make it fall in line with the naming convention of Aerialate and Pixilate. Makes it obvious as to what the ability does as long as you are familiar with the others.

Because it means Hopping. To bounce up and down, no water implications at all.

And people thinking that Oshawott's then signature move was like Razor Leaf is better? Smh.

It should have just stayed as Shell Blade. Razor Shell only makes sense in the context as a pun of razor sharp.
