Yes, I absolutely can confirm the myths about Bim. And about Einstein/Kleinstein: while Kleinstein is "small stone", Einstein literally is " one stone/a stone". Also Siegfried has the word Sieg in it, meaning 'victory' :) And because of Lance being called Siegfried, I tend to call the Pokémon I plan to defeat him with 'Hagen'. You see, with the legend, Siegfried slays the dragon Fafnir and bathes in his blood to become invincible. But a maple leaf gets stuck in his shoulder blade and the blood never touches the skin there - that's the only spot he's vulnerable in. Hagen was with him at the time and saw the leaf - and later kills Siegfried by using this knowledge to his advantage. So yeah, little storytime here, hope you enjoy :)

[@juliamavroidi8601]

Hagen didn't see it, he convinced Siegfried's wife to tell him, by pretending he wanted to protect him Also I was so mad when Bim wasn't in Gen 2

[@thechatteringclown]

funfact: siegfried is basically the achilles of german folklore. in the story, siegfried baths in the dragon's blood, which transforms his skin, making it as tough as the dragon's scale, which in turn makes siegfried almost invincable. unfortunately for him though, he missed a part around his shoulder, where a leave from a nearby lind tree fell onto him and prevented the blood from reaching that area. so siegfried became this basically undefeatable warrior, except for a single, very vulnerable area on his body that would ultimately be his downfall.

[@lexezlao]

i'm gonna start using siegfried's shoulder instead of achilles' heel

[@merelysteve7052]

Oh my god. Yeah I totally remember the myth of Bim existing. This takes me back to my elementary school days :D But I never heard anyone claiming Geodude/Kleinstein was named after Einstein in the German version. This sounds really ridiculous to be honest and like something someone made up on the internet years later.

[@robplaysstuff6029]

I knew about Gorachu, I’d still love to see him in a main series game maybe as a gigantamax form or mega evolutions. Feels like such wasted potential.

[@kadensesay8056]

I feel like we shouldve gotten gorochu in gen 8 as an evolution for a galarian raichu or something

[@fortymcmeme3846]

Hello my fellow raichu pfp

[@Sparkcell275]

Or as a regional evolution of pikachu. Like Galarian yamask to ruinerigus. That’d be sick and it’s probably the most feasible way they could do it. Since mega evolution has been put to the waste side and gigantamax I presume is galar exclusive and has already been finished.

Got you another one from Spanish. Counter was translated as Contador, which actually means Accountant. So it's all about those evil Wobbuffets and their pyramid schemes.

[@WWEdeadman]

Well, I already watched that video when it came out, so I know all of them now. Also, it's "Bim" not "Bin" on the Abra Kadabra thing in German. And Pound and Peck both got translated wrong for German as well, making Pound "Pfund" the word for the weight measurment and British pounds, and Peck "Schnabel" whichj is literally the word for "beak" making it weird for a Goldeen or a Nidoran to use it. Those were only fixed in Gen 8.

"I love Nob." -Patterrz 2020

[@Shritistrang]

Well... as a German, of course I knew how Kleinstein translated into English and that Alakazam was renamed into Simsala. What I didn't know was the whole story about rumors that there was a fourth evolution to the Abra line called Bin/Bim. (The correct word is actually Simsalabim, not Simsalabin.) Edit: Looks like there are already other comments explaining this, I am so slow.

[@x_tadashi]

YESSS Batman transition! Also I love Julian and his chaotic energy.

[@jakobi-wan6500]

when they talked about the American Pikachu redesign I almost f*cking died.

[@Gapb_TheRealOneTho]

Patterrz was so shocked that Pokemon were seen as to cute, but that's exactly the reason the Digimon Anime was way cooler (and that they have real stakes, saving the world, characters dying) Greymon appears in episode 2 and is actually pretty weak in the Digimon world, but a Pokemon similar in strenght and size would be.....Groudon. ps: Okay I just looked it up and even ProtoGroudon is only 5 meters(16ft), that's not even close to Greymon, Greymon is an actual building at least like 40-45 ft

[@WindowsXPFrog]

I remember thinking that geodude’s sprite in red/blue looked like a brain 😅 so Einstein would have made sense with that if it happened here 😅

[@AbeM.]

The lack of unique Spanish names is a blessing in disguise for Latin American Spanish-speakers. Because we would’ve grown with the English names, only for the future games to come with completely different names when they started selling games in Spanish over here.

[@shiningtriforce5966]

I havent heard of the rumored Pokegod "Bim", but seems likr its pretty "obvious" why that rumor exists: In english, the Abra line goes "Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam" and thats the whole sentence. In german, the sentence is a little bit different and one part of it is missing. There its "Abra, Kadabra, Simsala Bim". Simsala being Alalazams german name. The "Bim" paet in that sentence was left out. I guesd thats the reason german players rumored there was a "fourth Alalazam-like Pokemon"

[@ツルのために]

The french names are excellent, my favourite is zubat which becomes "Nosferapti", a reference to classical vampire lore, and the move leech life becomes "vampirisme". All the names are excellent.

In the Spanish versions of the games there is technically a Spanish translation on Type:Null, which in Spanish it's called "Código Cero". Seeing that they didn't mention this I just wanted to inform that there's just one difference in the pokemon names (Silvally is the same in spanish).

The pound error was actually also in the German version and got fixed several generations later. Little me just accepted that and just imagined it as some kind of body slam. So, even if the Italian translators had gotten the German version, they'd have ended up with that mistake

[@mickgorro]

The simsala bim thing could have happened in Italian too, but instead we didn't get localized names, all the puns in those names are completely lost on us. Unless we speak English, that is. Which is kind of a tall order here...

"I love nob" - Patterrz 2020

[@orionknyte237]

This was a fascinating video! I love puns and word language and seeing how translations are so vital and how you HAVE to have context or else stuff like what was mentioned happens.(back in high school, my friends would buy me a mcflurry after school if I corrected the translator mistakes Google translate made xD) As a Mexican-American who grew up with Blue and Red and as Pokemon caught popularity, religious moms were urged to not allow their kids to play the game or get the merch because they were demons and the devil's minions! (which could have started from another translation confusion? Pocket Monsters and what not???) anyway, the Spanish-speaking kids thinking fish were evil might have added fuel to the fire of religion against pokemon maybe. Like in my mind, the fish and Spanish thing made me think of Lent. When on Fridays we're not allowed to have red meet and only eat fish...I'm willing to bet some overzealous religious group would have claimed Pokemon was propaganda from the devil to have kids hate lent.... My crazy overly religious aunt tried to parent shame my mom cos she let me play. Crazy...crazy roads Pokemon's been on, and plenty of wild stories that they have...still one of my fave franchises!
