They're so good; I can't blame him.

Something does seem off about the translation, but that food item isn't the only problem.

>>29366746
Tbf, neither of them said hello.

I love how /vp/ gets fuckintg anal whenever a region a based around an american location.
People sperg out about how Unova is shit at representing NY, and Alola is going the same way.
Silly burgers.

>>29366746
I still love how cheesy this is.

>>29366661
I prefer ensaladas.

wtf i love MALASADA now

i have a craving for MALASADA

MALASADA MALASADA MALASADA

I can't get enough MALASADA. TASTES REALLY AMAZING YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS.


It's really good if i do say so myself mmmmmmHMMMmmm

MALASADA

>>29366746
To be fair, it's not really all that bad. It's highly possible that their region ended up being named after the greeting 'Alola' itself or something

>>29366661
How can he be chubby and trans without eating a lot of pastries?

>>29366816
I can't wait for the Texas region, Howdo.

"In Howdo, we say 'Howdy!'" *tips stetson*

>>29366661
>hey cousin, want to go eat some Malasadas?

>>29366811
No, I like Unova. A lot. But Hau is just fucking annoying. It's like Naruto and ramen, however cringe it is that I'm even mentioning that.

>>29366759
For the past couple generations the localization team has gotten very lax about the localization part. Their translations are becoming more literal, and that means the Japanese mannerisms and way of speaking is being brought into English more directly. They don't alter the sentences enough to make them sound like natural English, so we get verbal tics, repetitious dialogue, and specific phrases that the Japanese consider perfectly normal or acceptable.
There was a shift in staff after Gen IV.

>>29366661
dick is alright but have you tried filling your mouth with malasada instead?

It's not uncommon for people going somewhere new with a new language to make massive fuck ups with what things are called. Kangaroos come to mind... So, it's entirely possible the first dipshit from Kanto/Johto/Unova/wherever arriving in Alola and meeting a confused but kind local went something like this:

"What region is this?"
"... ?! A-Alola...?"
"Alola, I like it."

And, the native thought they were saying it back maybe, so no one ever corrected it.

>>29366970
Yeah, why do Japs have to be so verbose?

>Please show me how to complete this objective I have to do.

When you could just say

>Please show me how

>>29366970
>I'm going to unleash my rage.

Yeah, there definitely was a quality drop.

Honestly he reminds me of Barry in that way

The joke is the region would be advertised as full of cowboy stereotypes. and then you'd get some generic city person who says "hey you guys."

>>29366746
Well, it is your excited mom telling you all of this right after you moved in town hall while registering your address. I'd imagine the employee just saw she was excited and new and just played along. Nobody outside of tourists destinations, ceremonies, and maybe Niihau use aloha unironically.

Says the adult posting on a forum dedicated to the game. Everyone who played Pokémon when it first came out got hooked, and they're all adults now. I'm allowed to rant about a game that almost everyone thinks is going to be shit, however much I want it to be good.

I want to shove a malasada up my ass.

Japan pulls this shit all the time. They tear down an entire character to nothing but one specific interested of theirs. This shit happens all the time in One Piece, it's pretty lame but I think you're over-reacting.

I honestly felt Gen VI's localized script was much more natural than Gen V's and magnitudes more so than anything in HGSS not just copy pasted from GSC. Shit, HGSS had some awkward as fuck lines in the English version.

I hate Hau in general. I hope he gets stripped off as a PokeDex Holder in Adventures. I hate his shirt too.

>>29368367
I really hope the demo is an unfinished, older, unpolished version of the game
not because of the small Dex, but because of the fucking 3 second black screen teleports between everything. even the fucking gates within the same city.
ill still play it as long as the battles are better, more varied, more fun, etc., but holy fuck the loading screens/times/fact it exists

>>29366661

>>29367071
That line was "Ore wa ima kara ikaru ze", so that "unleash my rage" shit was just the localizer trying to be witty, not some overly literal translation.

No clue if Hawaiian ones are different but those things are sold at Chinese food places around here and they are disgusting. Like someone forgot them at the bottom of a grease barrel for a month and added gritty sugar to try and pass them off as food

What's a malasada? A donut?

>>29370121

>>29366970
Oh yeah!

Portugese donut-like sweet, yeah.

>>29369980
This is the best piece of dialogue in the entire series

>>29366661
>WHICH IN REALITY IS A PORTUGUESE FOOD
I was surprised to see that Hau loved a relatively obscure snack that I grew up with.

I asked my mom, and it turns out there are a lot of Portuguese in Hawaii, surprisingly. Him being part-Portuguese would explain why Hau won't stop talking about food; everyone in my family is hellbent on making malasadas and cookies at any given moment.

>>29370251
That wikipedia article says
>Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday"), the day before Lent, is Malasada day in Hawaii. Being predominantly Catholic, Portuguese immigrants would need to use up all their butter and sugar prior to Lent. They did so by making large batches of malasadas, which they would subsequently share with friends from all the other ethnic groups in the plantation camps. This led to the popularity of the malasada in Hawaii.

>>29366661
Hau's like a fucking teenager or something, the only thing going on in his mind is probably food. I'm nearly 20 and food's still the thing that makes life worth it.

>>29369980
This sold me on the game.
