>*sigh* So you're finally here, huh?>See I'm... I'm not really a great gym leader>Figured that's why no one was comin' to challenge me>I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up.>When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'The translation missed out on the point of his intro being that it was explaining why he just let the city be shut down(ie. that he didn't know because he got depressed and assumed the worst). He also doesn't talk about his skills as a gym leader being bad, and instead that he's overall a failure of a person.
Another localization tidbit is that Marnie does speak with an accent in Japanese, but Piers doesn't. He speaks with keigo(polite speech)to presumably cover up the accent he does have, and his keigo tends to drop when he's speaking about himself.
Lastly he has an in-universe nickname that he calls himself during the match in Japanese 哀愁のネズ(Piers of Sorrow)that I just realized isn't in the English at all when I looked up the localization. So there's that too.
