What kind of god damned moonrune language do they speak in Pocket Monster world?
One of the moonrunes on this keyboard in the bottom right kinda looks like the 'mi' symbol in japanese. But that's literally all I can make out of this entire fucking thing.
This is from generations btw if u didn't get the memo

shameless self bump
>Make a unique alphabet like Hylian to seperate the Pokemon world from reality
>But have an entire Pokemon based on the Latin alphabet
This isn't even thematically meaningful like the Avatar spirits, this is just dumb shit

>But have an entire Pokemon based on the Latin alphabet
Maybe that's why they're such a mystery. They clearly know their forms are meaningful in a way of writing, but its now a dead language and needs interpreting.

They only made this language because localization and anti-imperialistfags at 4Kids that later influenced TPCi's practices insisted it'd make the series have international appeal with no need to translate.
It's stupid, but it works.

I suppose it works that way, but the Latin alphabet is used in most countries so it does a good job at being international
That said, they went out of their way to design these characters since all they needed were blank buttons that resembled a keyboard to inform us exactly what the fuck we're looking at
It still makes the Unown feel dumb though

>LShift and RShift have entirely different characters
>so do LCtrl, LAlt and RCtrl, RAlt
>>29517250
That's why they are called Unown. They resemble characters from a language unknown to them.

I don't like many things about Special, but I'm glad they haven't succumbed to that bullshit.

>no arrow keys
>>29517206
I see some lookalikes of と, ヒ, サ, and ふ. Others might be some bastardized Kanji.
>>29517471
I hear they actually make a shot with kana or English and then edit them to those characters.
Starting to question why they even make school optional with characters like "hourglass with exclaimation point", "LC with a dot" and "Manji with a big dick."

I mean.. You can see the eclipse sign from Colress's book, on the left side of the keyboard
>>29517206
I remember in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Zero's computers displayed english text
Even the Jap version had english text on it
>>29517297
Pretty sure that the writing you can see in the SM demo isn't Japanese.
Honestly I feel it's kind of a step up for Pokemon to have it's own alphabet.
