In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

Buuullllcrap. Sure, the translations of many games didn’t “match” the original, strictest literary sense, but a whole lot of cultural references just didn’t translate well, and they also had to work with platform limitations. Had to do with what they did.

Come on now. Prove it. Give me the original Japanese line from POCKET MONSTERS (apologies for slight mispronounciation, I’m drunk, I swear I won’t do this soon). Let us compare it to the official English translations. Let us see how RANDOM it got.

GIVE US THE CAVALCADE OF BAD TRANSLATIONS YOU PROMISED.

The fact that everything alive must someday die, isn’t really that dark in Eastern cultures/religions.

Obviously not. Everyone’s still traumatised by Marowak shit. And Lt. Surge’s undiscussed war history. What was he doing.

you still don’t understand what they’re saying.

Okay, what were they saying.
