So I just accidentally backspaced on a rather lengthy post I was writing here, so fuck it, I'll update later tonight. I've been busy with car troubles and studying vocab/grammar.
And by backspaced, I mean my mouse has a built-in forwards/backwards button and I accidentally bumped back with my thumb. I hate this stupid mouse. --- All these boomas like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVkkHVl8QvE ... Copied to Clipboard!

So let's just talk about Team Rocket's best guard in town, who is [inemuri] (nodding off) in front of Silph Co. which is... [shirufu kanpani] "Silph Co." Sorta jelly they got the full "Company" but that's the magic of squishing lots of sounds into few characters. In case you were wondering, the Silph Scope gets similar treatment: [shirufu sukopu] Speaking of things that are literally the same in both games... [safari zon(e)] That gets a free pass in my book since Safari is as loan as words come. Surely they have a word of their own for "zone" but meh. Incoming: lazy pokemon names [gosu] [gosuto] DEFINITELY not good compared to the English names. [dogasu] At least this gets some decent wordplay in, combining (poison) and the english word "Gas" which I rank as "equally clever" compared to Koffing. So here's your Japanese lesson for the day: This guy is the Pokemon Fan Club's [Kaichou], "Chairman." Whenever you see a word ending in //Chou, there's a pretty decent chance you're looking at some kind of leader. You're likely familiar with the word honcho which is derived straight from //hanchou. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but many times you can just... school/chou village/chou company/chou city/chou etc and come out with the equivalent leader. However, it's not always so easy, as the word Chou can also mean a metric SHIT TON of other things in various contexts. This is one reason why Kanji is excellent - no confusion between which chou you're talking about. --- All these boomas like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVkkHVl8QvE ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most GameBoy and NES titles rarely use kanji, period, outside of title screens. In my experience anyhow.
Probably takes up too much room in the cartridge or due to the relatively small text becomes unreadable quickly. --- See me on Discord! ^.^ Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/V7hzcXd ... Copied to Clipboard!

You say you memorized the Katakana and Hiragana easily but how do you know what they mean? Ive tried learning it and I can figure out the characters/sounds for, say chisu, but I wouldnt know it means cheese just from that.

Ive tried learning it and I can figure out the characters/sounds, for example chisu, but I wouldnt know it means cheese just from that.That has nothing to do with what they mean though. It's just the same as any other language in that regard. What you're talking about is learning vocabulary, just get a frequency list of most common words and start learning, or pick up words from things that interest you. I'm guessing that whenever TC sees a word he doesn't know the meaning of, he just looks it up on a site like http://jisho.org/ or any dictionary.

O_o G5 onward started using kanji; I know in BW you could select whether you wanted to use kanji or just the "syllabic" characters. --- It is, as some admiral once said, a trap. 3DS: 2208 8847 9932 / PSN: UltimaSpark50 ...

I love reading these kinds of articles and threads, and don't know how I missed tracking this one for so long. It's nostalgia married to learning and I'm 100% here for it.
Thank you for your hard work. --- Whatever happened to standards? Whatever happened to bare minimums? https://i.imgtc.com/7UnK3hx.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
