Or alternatively send me a PM about it and I'll try to guide him toward it secretly. I've already looked up which Digimon are in the game for this exact purpose, so that wouldn't be spoiling something for me.

I remember loving the hell out of DW 2. I haven't played it since it came out, so it may be nostalgia, but I'm probably going to do a side-video or two on it at some point.

-On Digitorin.

I'm no expert but I think the generic japanese word for bird is "tori" and one of the ways the like to nickname cute things is to attach to or replace the end syllable to the tune of -in( pronounced like "eeen"). I've seen it in a few things.

Again, no language authority, just a weeb.

More or less. For someone who has studied Japanese for as long as I have it took me an embarassingly long time to remember how to say "bird". :(

The -in, or just -n, is pretty common for nicknames. In reality it's whatever sounds cute/whatever the person likes more that sticks as a nickname.

I just watched a video the other day that explained it really well, but I'll be damned if I can find it now. I'll post it if it ever shows up for me again.

Mikey can actually read Japanese (and speak), so he is likely to point cool things like that out every now and then. Any cool translation things anyone can spot though that might not get noticed by me or mikey, if you notice it, mention it in here. Cool stuff like that interests me.

It should be noted though that I've never seen the original Japanese for this game, so unless it's apparent in the translation there will probably be Japaneseisms I'll miss, especially if they were diligent in their localization.

Also AP grossly overestimates my Japanese ability.

I'm confused by the fact the DemiDevimon was using its Japanese name of PicoDevimon while Candlemon is using its dub name when, if we're going by the original Japanese names, it should be Candmon. Also, that is DemiMeramon of Candlemon's head or PetiMeramon if we're going by original names.

If I were to take a wild guess I would say they just picked whichever sounded better to them. In the case of digi-names, it seems like a reasonable loc decision.

I like to imagine that Mikey was utterly miserable during that whole sequence, and that's why he busted out two finishers in the same fight. And then those assholes went and had a long conversation right afterwards, making him wait even longer before he could go to the bathroom.

This could also be true for the non-Agumon mikey at that point in the recording.

It's just full of so many big chunks of content hidden behind so many cryptic layers, I've never seen a game like it since.

I think there's a very good reason why there's never been another game like it, besides the one we're playing.

Now, if you want an actual good game with tons of content hidden behind obtuse, cryptic layers, you should go play one of Yasumi Matsuno's games.

The thing is, I can completely understand how a Pollock could be interpreted and seen as a priceless masterpiece, even though it's just unintelligible paint dribblings.

I would say that this particular unintelligible mess is more like a "Jacksom Pollump Marsterpiece," if that.

I like Pollock and think it's good, which is why I was adverse to comparing DW1 to his work when it's more apt to compare it to the work of a middle school art student who read his name in a book once.

The thing about the schoolyard rumor thing is that lots of Japanese games at and before that time period were designed to encourage that kind of rumormilling. It's just that lots of them were adventure games and/or didn't come west. So DW1 isn't particularly unique in that regard.

The Retro Game Challenge games do a pretty good job of calling back to this, actually. Particularly in the (surprise) adventure game segment (which we didn't get to in our stream, unfortunately).

Hey I actually like 02! :mad:

Yes the writing had issues, most notably the epilogue, but the concepts it introduced like the Armor level and Jogress/DNA Digivolution were unique and are still part of the franchise to this day with the latter (or at least the 02 version of it, long story) being the basis for DigiXros/DigiFuse generations later.

DNA and Armor are the only two good things about 02. Everything else can and should be forgotten.
