The move CURSE has TWO EFFECTS this is why

Curse has a different effect for Ghosts and non-Ghost pokemon. Why is that the case? It has to do with Japanese. Or rather, jokes in Japanese. I suppose you could call it, a Nippun.

This video came out so loud and I don't know why, it sounds like I'm peaking the whole time. Lower your volume when you watch. Sorry about that everyone!

[@CurmudgeonMedia]

[@CammyMeeleTea]

[@atdeigo1415]

[@pogchamp9669]

[@AdminAbuse]

@@pogchamp9669 what a weird thing to say

[@brendanboomhour7606]

Ah, the Haunter trade that hasn't pissed off thousands

[@CammyMeeleTea]

The only Ghost I had with Curse somehow.

[@crimsonDestroyer]

Curse absolutely still works as a pun in english. I always interpreted as Ghost-type Curse = curse, as in laying a curse on someone, while non-Ghost-type Curse = curse, as in verbally cursing at someone, like swear words. If anything, the fact that it has a double meaning in japanese just makes it more obvious that the english double meaning is intentional.

[@abrawolf]

Yeah, it's bassicly stopping what you're doing to curse someone out, which would make you both expect the next attack (raise defense) but you're also starting aggression (raising attack)

[@Numbuh214]

@@abrawolf And I think this makes it the single best way that the move could have been translated; given that the MythBusters actually confirmed that verbal cursing can increase your pain tolerance.

[@1manApocalypse_CP]

Could also be "cursing" your speed in exchange for the other stats.

[@SkullTheLegless]

Quick, to the point, and interesting. Great vid!

[@tentaclefunk]

boy howdy I feel educated now

[@DarkHormazabal]

Curse and root or rest is a great combination to 1 pokemon as snorlax because play with the life, apart with tóxic is better

[@theschnozzler]

Interesting video

[@CammyMeeleTea]

Glad you think so. Thanks for watching!

[@AntiHeroLBC]

Ghost Pokemon use Curse by cutting their health in half and inflicting a curse on its opponent. Non-ghost Pokemon use Curse by dropping their speed and boosting their attack and defense. I use Curse by saying "SHIT!!!"

[@manyescoolDhamxhdeshds]

I know a Pokémon that only one move that is Curse is Ghost. You can see Ghost in this Pokémon Black Version (creepypasta) gameplay here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnrOnH-qatp5ga8si=FP1r2TeqRUn9pQC7

Slowpoke saying “You…mother…fucker…” whenever it uses Curse is a mental image that I will cling onto for dear life.
