OMG, dude, I actually tweeted this to Masuda. And he actually listened. I chose him because he actually replies and retweets, I chose a time when he's usually online just after his work is finished.

Maybe that's why I never cared about pokemon weight and height

Was conversing things from imperial to meteric really that hard for everyone?

>>26761841
Nobody outside America uses those stupid ass units so it made no sense to keep them for everybody else.

>>26761841
It's just some random pokédex entries, who would stop playing for a few seconds and think about converting those numbers?

My island belongs to the US (previously Spain) so officially commerce is in American system like supermarkets but Roads and Gas stayed in Metric
Shit is confusing

>>26761884
Actually the UK uses them pretty extensively too.

>Was adding the option in so hard?
No, but I keep getting the impression that imperial is either to fucking difficult to understand toward non-Americans or everyone just want everyone else to do thing their way.

>>26762225
Americans already know the guestimates, that's why they keep using them.Asking people to learn imperial is asking someone to learn hieroglyphics that has always used a latin-alphabet-based language. It only makes sense the other way around. The other way around is easy to learn.

Let's not do how the UK do.

>>26762225
>>26762286
Well the whole problem comes from imperial units not being proportionnal, I mean, metric system is simpler, it always goes by 10 or 1000.
No retarded non-sense like 1 yard is 3 feet or 36 inches, shit isn't even consistent.

>>26762225
It's not really difficult, but for someone who grep up with metric, a system as counterintuitive and restricted as the imperial system is completely pointless outside certain high school classes and internet discussions (where you could simply use google), so there's no reason to waste your time actually learning it. Just being able to do some estimates is more than enough.

I let my 8 year old sister play my X copy after she saw me play my Y version and she actually wiped to Viola and Sycamore once, kek. I watched her play from behind and AI never used a "wrong" move against her Pokemon. Some attacks were clearly scripted though. Viola's Surskit always uses Water Sport at the start of the battle for example.

By the way, what's your team anon? Greninja, Pangoro, Meowstic, Noibat and Aromatisse here, I just defeated Clemont.

>>26761474
Even as early as RB, at least some trainers like the E4 were coded to always use super-effective attacks if available.
Unfortunately, they couldn't make a distinction between a damaging move and a non-damaging move, so sometimes it didn't work out.
For example, Lance's famous Barrier Dragonite would always use Barrier against Poison-types. What an easy cheapout.

Let's see.

I don't believe for two seconds the English version that's released in the U.S. this November will have metric crap.

Kg and cm are one thing, but am I the only one who thinks Celcius is dumb?

You need to resort to decimals if you wanna tell the weather with decent accuracy.

>BUT MUH RANDOM 32 DEGREE FREEZING POINT
So what, 32 is an easy number to remember.

>>26768810
Temperature, kinetic energy of a volume, can't be negative so Kelvin is the most accurate system

>>26768810
Celsius is how the temperature affects water, Fahrenheit is how the temperature affects humans, and Kelvin is with molecules.

>>26768902
So you agree that Fahrenheit is superior for the weather?

Honestly I have no qualms with metric other than I feel that Celsius is shit for the weather.

>>26768947
Nope it should be kelvin like >>26768861
said.

>>26768902
i like it

>>26768947
Celsius is better for cooking purposes.

>>26768965
Kelvin is weird for weather, pretty much everything will be between 255 and 310 weather wise and that's really fucking random feeling.

And once again you have to resort to decimals for accuracy.

I thought it was based specifically on the coldest material Daniel Fahrenheit could create at the time, a mixture of water, ice, and ammonia. Which is a weird-ass thing to base your scale on since it's a manmade solution.

>>26768902
They're all arbitrary, and Fahrenheit is the less friendly of them all. I don't really understand why USA is fighting to keep weird-ass measures while the WHOLE WORLD is using more modern and simple ones.

Because why would we change it at this point when everyone here uses them? Outside of science you would never use them here.

>>26770482

The U.S. isn't "fighting" anything. It's been a dead issue for decades, since metrification bombed with the public in the 1970s, and the United States Metric Board was abolished in 1982. No politician, in either major party, talks about it anymore, it's 100% dead and buried as a serious political topic.
