Pokémon OR/AS: “I was teaching this girl how hard it is to be a Trainer!” [JPN vs ENG]

Part of a series on game comparisons! Last time we looked at a certain Nurse at the Battle Maison in Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS.

Today’s post comes from a reader request:

“In [Pokemon] OR/AS, there’s this locked room in Sea Mauville that has two girls in it for some reason, and the internet went nuts thinking all sorts of dirty thoughts over the simple dialogue the two share. I don’t see what’s so sexual about it, but I attached it below. Was it more suggestive in Japanese or something? Idk what’s going on. Thanks!”

I vaguely remember this part from the game, I didn’t really think much of it at the time, but upon searching the line I do see a few threads here and there suggesting potential innuendo behind it. So what’s going on here in Japanese?

Let’s take a look!

Pokémon X/Y/OR/AS: That one Nurse in the Battle Maison [JPN vs ENG]

Not my screenshot. OR/AS version. Source.

Today’s post is part of a long line of comparison posts. Today’s comes as a personal curiosity, but also enabled thanks to a reader question:

“In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a certain Pokémon Center Nurse in the Battle Maison. She speaks totally differently in a funny way. Is she the same in Japanese?”

I remember this Nurse very well! I’ve been curious about it myself. There is a similar Nurse also in the Battle Maison in Pokémon X/Y, though she speaks in a different way. So I decided to take a look at them both for today’s post!

Let’s take a look.

Pokemon OR/AS Certificate Translation

The game released in Europe today, so in celebration, here is a brief translational tidbit related to Pokemon!

You get a nice little message from the creators of Pokemon if you bring in a Pokemon all the way from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald to Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire.

Here is the certificate in Japanese, courtesy of nintendoeverything.com

I decided to just translate it to what I assume will be the generic message:

“プレイヤー　____さま

____　との途切れることのない　友情と固く　結ばれた絆を称　ここに　証明します

ゲームフリーク
スタッフ一同”

“Player Mr/Ms ____[Trainer Name]

Here is a certificate in commemoration of your unending love and unbreakable bond with _____[Pokemon].

-Game Freak Staff””

How heartwarming!
