Re: Can anyone help me solve this engrish issue?

I am slowly getting this text from the rom using the text patch, problem is that not all of the text is fixed since there is still engrish text in there and I would like to only have to edit the pointers once and move on to the next set of text, so can anyone help me clean up the engrish?

Please 
I'll post them as I get them.

Stuff like "Caught the E-monster!" is the game pretending to be pokemon, I have no idea what the original text would be for this, the denjuu isn't "caught" when the text is displayed, the text displays at the end of most battles.

What would be a proper replacement for "e-magic"?

What is "Please don't strolled on the road!"? :blink:

Help!

EDIT: Added the lot.

Anyone...? :(

I would help but I know no Japanese. Well, I can probably understand some of the lines, considering that I already changed some of them (and I can see that you used the new patch... hehehe). The changes I made are probably not literal translations; they're just my own interpretation based on the context of the game.

"Attacked, but failed to hit!" really should be self-explanatory.
"Was defeated!" should be "You have been defeated!" or something like that.
"It seems the enemy's mate will late!" should be "It seems that the enemy's Denjuu will be late!" or something like that.

Not sure what e-magic should be. Electricity, perhaps?

Or maybe mana, who knows. Unless it is sunlight and Denjuu know solarbeam. :lol:

Maybe "mate" is a bad translation for what should be "partner" maybe?

What about "<60>'s<LINE>attack missed."?

Why is there a "<60> is<LINE>paralytic! <END05>" and a "<60><LINE>is paralyzed! <END05>"? Compare

That is two versions of the same thing within the same file in different locations. :huh:

EDIT: I figured something out. When the "e-magic power" is charging that is DP charging, DP must stand for "denjuu power" by the looks of its translation.

EDIT2:I have revised some stuff

Sorry, I didn't feel like laying it out. Anyway I am wondering if Bargain means Trade or something, it sounds like it but I must be sure.

EDIT3: Hmm.. I guess I'll just use "trade" then if nobody objects.

After I have inserted this text I will test it, finish the rest of the stuff (menu text, money name, evolutionary stages, etc.) and release a patch (hopefully), I may create a second patch that adds all of the Engrish dialogue (assuming I do not succumb to laziness). I hope this will allow everyone to play or hack something that's glitchy-free, even if it still has the engrish text.
