So uh, Pokemon Company just uploaded this video
- Thread starter Boss Doggie
- Start date
It bothered me, so I fixed it:
I just realised we're watching this from the tail's point of view.
Just explaining the lifestyle of the Slowpoke line

Awesome. I knew he deserved to be in my top beloved Pokemon with Psyduck ^^
Is there others tripping things like this? I play some Pokemon but I'm not that into the franchise so I don't follow news or nice little things like this.

This is a quick slap together attempt, don't kill me if it's bad, I am a super amateur at translating, but I had to do it now or I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Waking with the rising sun in a dreamy daze, but sleeping until noon. Yadon.
Pink skin that seems really oily, but they're just born that way. Yadon.
A giant mouth that's open all day, just like a shopping mall. Yadon.
Their tail has a sweet taste, sometimes kids have it for an afternoon treat. Yadon.
They move with a crawl so their pictures never blur, so I guess that's something to be proud of? Yadon.

Cut off their tail, there's no worries, another will grow instead. Yadon
Who was the one who named this the "Dopey Pokemon"? Yadon.
Start with a "ya", end with a "n", three letter name and you get: Yakan.
Uses tail for fishing, doesn't care if a bite, doesn't care if it gets away. Yadon.
If you play "shiritori", then Yadon's name I cannot recommend.** Yadon.

With a single yawn, they can call a rain storm. A legendary rain chant. Yadon.
But now there isn't a cloud to be seen, what happened to the legend? Yadon.
If a Shelder bites the tail you get a Yadoran (SlowBro), even the evolution's dopey. Yadon.
Yadon are everywhere in the wide world, and now there's even one behind you. Yadon.
Yamakake, moon gazing, tempura, gomoku, southern curry. Udon. ***

A giant pice of fruit could fall on their head but they won't feel a thing. Yadon.
Their ears roll over and make a spiral shape...what is up with that? Yadon.
Suddenly they say [Yan], is it because falling fruit from before hurts now? Yadon.
Maybe Yadoran, even Yadoking (SlowKing), or just staying the same, Yadon.
Everyone bites a tail, join together to make a ring, and they seem so happy for it. Yadon.

*"Donaiyanen" from what I've seen and did 10 minute Google/Dictionary research on isn't a normal word and seems to be a kind of slur between words and accents that comes up when a person is exasperated with someone else. I have the least amount of confidence in this translation and I would greatly appreciate if someone smarter could correct me. My impression is that since the song is about how strange Slowpoke is, the singer straight up asks "What are you?"
**"Shiritori" is a word game where you pick a word and then think of another word that starts with the same letter as was the last one of the first word. For example "Sheep" and then "pig". However there's a rule that you cannot use a word that ends with "N (ん
" or you lose because there are almost no Japanese words that starts with "ん" which is why "yadon" is not recommended. "Choose Slowpoke and you're gonna lose!" is the joke I believe.
***Just a bunch of food. Not super sure what the point is or if accurate. Again, not confident in my barely amateur translations at all.

Aww. Was kind hoping there were some neat tidbits in there. I was especially curious why the Shellders were coming off of Slowbro and Slowking.

Hell no hell no hell no please god no anything but this
Matches the Pokédex entries where that is stated to happen.
Oh yeah you're right. I had completely forgotten about some of these entries.
Ruby/Sapphire
Slowking undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this Pokémon apparently forgets everything it has learned if the Shellder on its head comes off.
Gold
If the tail-biting Shellder is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary Slowpoke.

I'd love this to become the official Kotaku theme song.
I got irritated where the video didn't give me an option to transcribe captions (then translate these) so thanks for this.

I..what in..I don't even..This is amazing. I've always found it weird how the sheldler becomes this completely different looking pokemon when it bites onto the head or tail of a slowpoke. I'd love to see a Mega cloyster that is basically the shellder from slowpokes tail with like, cloysters blue head thing on the inside as like bullets. It would keep skill link and become a literal machine gun. One can dream...
