I actually think it's impossible to overlook that, since pretty much all of them sound forced.OMG Aero said:
I like how that presents the translators with a bit of a problem since they have to rename every single one to keep with the train puns, though (at least they did it for the German version). :lol

Well this isn't mind blowing, but might be interesting to some.
The main menu/dialog font used in the Uncharted series is called Albertus, a slightly altered offshoot known as "The Village" Font was used in the classic British series, "The Prisoner"
You can compare/download it here (as opposed to the real Albertus which costs money)

This may have been mentioned, but in the spirit of naming info:
Some rare Final Fantasy name details.
Some people think Tifa is short for Tifaret, which would fit with the Sephiroth Kabbalah aspect. But the interviewers recently said...it's short for Tiffany.
People know Terra's original name was Tina, and people think Tina was too boring a Western name.
However, Celes on its own means nothing as well. But La Celestina is one of the most acclaimed Spanish novels in history. Given the other European literature influences on FF6, the Tina name makes much more sense.
And then there's Penalo, whose name is obviously another case of Tifa-shortening...

Right?
In the Pokemon games, the trainers and even Gym leaders are so weak because they have trouble raising their Pokemon. This is because:
1)They can't see levels. The only reason that you do is because of your Pokedex.
2)Something they mention all the time in the games, but that no one takes at face value, but should, is that you always play the role of a very special trainer who has a "knack" for Pokemon. It is because you bond so well with your Pokemon (and because you're a big cheater for using a Pokedex), that your Pokemon grow so rapidly.
This also explains the weird non-constants of Pokemon evolution. The levels that Pokemon evolve, as we know them, are actually not universal in the Pokemon world. They are merely the standard for YOUR trainer, and since in all the games you play as this super guy who's amazing at raising Pokemon, they're always the same.
These things combined allow you an advantage which leads to, in a matter of less than a year, you becoming the strongest trainer in the entire world. (Also thanks in no small part to your cruel ways in which ALL YOU DO is make your Pokemon battle, while even adults who have had their Pokemon since they were children in the games are fairly weak.)
This is also why Red and Blue are the strongest canon trainers in the Pokemon universe. Because they were the first ones with a Pokedex.

It doesn't help that nobody in the pokeworld bothers to raise six different pokemon. Even a lot of the Elite 4 have 5 pokemon teams. If someone has six pokemon, it's always six magikarp or something.
They must always be complaining against that cheating champion with his/her six pokemon team.
ElFly said:
Well imagine raising a single magikarp when you can't even tell what level your opponent is. Not to mention most people start off with Rattattas and Pidgeys, not Charmanders and Squirtles like your blessed trainer.
Now imagine raising SIX weak ass pokemon. That's a lifetime of dedication on their part.
Pikelet said:
Unfounded?
In the anime and manga, the only mentions of "level" I ever saw were obtained by the Pokedex.
In the games, countless dialogue situations let you know how special your(SPECIFICALLY YOUR) ability to bond with Pokemon is. And why else would only like 3 people in the world have a Dragonite? Especially when you can just fish at the safari zone for only 500pokemoneyz.
Your mom is unfounded.
Kyzer said:
It'd actually be easier for them if they tried to raise six different pokemon.
Most trainers just decide that one pokemon/type is the absolute best and concentrate on that. See: gym leaders / elite 4 who only have one type of poke, and most of the people you fight on the world.
They handicap themselves. The only exceptions go on to become champions (except maybe Lance, who only added a 6th pokemon, to his team THEN became the champ).
Kyzer said:
I've thought way too hard about this, and my best explanation is economic pressures.
Pokemon are tools, friends, workers, transportation. Specialization is useful because it allows people to get a good job in a particular field. You see how the ground gym leader in diamond works in a mine. There are probably more examples you don't see as you are only a kid. Each gym probably has the function of a technical school where you go to learn a trade, in this case, using pokemon of a given type. You go there to train, and then get a job in an electric plant, become a psychic, a miner, a construction worker, etc.
So the elite 4 probably have some sweet deals on the side working as consultants and shit. Except, again, for Lance, because what economic use there is for dragons?

Just noticed this today: the England theme in Super Dodge Ball (NES) is a mix of two Beatles songs, Get Back and A Hard Day's Night. I was playing today and I kept wondering why the song(s) sounded so familiar!!

It's a nose, guys. It only looks like a "mouth and tooth" because that piece of art uses a more simplified shading.
