based mispronunciation chad

when i was a kid my brothers and i always said “ratta-tata.” I also only just discovered it’s apparently supposed to be Pidgey-oh-toe and not Pidgey-otto. Probably won’t stop saying the latter, too used to it at this point.

I will never in a millions years call it
“Pidge-it” instead of “Pidge-ee-ot”. Suck a fart out of my asshole, “Pidge-it” sounds fucking dyslexic.

Nob is truly one of the localization GOATs, there's so much soul in the early Pokemon LOCs that I can't help but feel wouldn't be there if somebody else were doing it.

also shoutout to what's probably the most clever pokemon name there is. if i had thought of this, i'd be wearing a shit-eating grin for a full day

Brock, Misty, Koga and let's say Blaine make sense.
Erica sure as fuck doesn't and don't tell me that Sabrina is referencing the fucking tv show because if it does I will murder the localizers in cold blood.

It does. In Japan they’re all named after plants. Localization decided to keep her name unchanged as Erika because she’s the plant based gym leader.
