GAMEFREAK Designers Flunked High School Science

[Roy Karrde]

Has no one thought that bad translation could partly be to blame? Just a thought.

I don't put too much thought into these things cos its a game >> You could start questioning all the games that have a fantasy aspect to them, but that would take all the fun out of everything.

Same thought crossed my mind, unless someone can translate the pokedex from the original game, then most of these arguments of flavor text are based on what the English translators wanted.

But I gotta agree with Dark Sage, when I read the flavor text for some of the Red/Blue Pokemon I was shocked, and thought it was unbelievably cool. It made it seem a bit more like an adult game compared to the cartoon.
