>There’s a movie on TV.>Four boys are walking on railroad tracks.>I better go too.Do all the Pokemon universe versions of Stephen King stories/adaptations incorporate Pokemon into their narratives?
>>725713143Its a reference to bump of chicken
>There are a bunch of children having an orgy in the sewer because of a gay clown>I'd better go too
Cujo, the rabid furfrou
>>725713143I hope so, Half the fun of the pokemon world is the little bits of worldbuilding we get on how pokemon get integrated into daily life. That Slugma powered furnace short teased a such a cool world. So much high tech technology, but also flintsones like animal integrations. Someday we might get a pokemon spin off that explores this. Something like factorio, or sim city.
>>725713143>It's the mid 90s>Stand by me is playing on TV>Time to begin my Pokemon adventureToo kino for where the series has gone from there.
>>725713432If you told me that's how Sun & Moon starts, I'd believe you.
>>725713432Sounds like what you'd see on TV in Pokemon Clover.Actually Clover's TVs are better
>>725713302>it's a reference to the reference being referenced for the referenceAh, makes sense.
>There's a movie on TV.>Tim Robbins is crawling through a mile of shit.>I better go too.
>pokemon version of shawshankok>pokemon version of carrieuh>pokemon version of apt pupilwait
>>725713302Lol weebs are pathetic
>>725713914>There's a movie on TV.>A man in a blue shirt is standing in front of an aircraft.>I'd better go too.
>>725713143>>725713302I wonder if Japan thinks Stand By Me is more wholesome than it is, because the cursing probably doesn't totally translate over.
>>725714487It's a very popular movie in Japan they absolutely know what it's about.
>>725714590Yeah, but I know cursing doesn't really fully translate in Japanese, and those kids are (purposefully, obviously) very vulgar in the movie. Not saying that was a bad thing, but like you said, Japan really likes the movie, and I wonder if it's cause it might come off a bit more wholesome through a certain language filter.
>>725713432Somehow, that never made it into any of the movie adaptations.
>>725714756all kids are crude are you autistic?
>>725714868Why do you not know what I mean? You obviously know what I mean. Stand By Me is an R rated film, where the characters constantly say fuck, and shit, and all the standard curse words. But narratively, it's a pretty wholesome movie about friends standing up for each other.
>>725713432It's not an orgy it's a train.
>>725714065God I fucking hate how unoriginal modern anime is.
>Corey Feldman is on TV>I'd better call up DICKS and ask if he wants to go find a dead body too
>>725713302Kino song + video but it's clearly a reference to Stand By Me.
>There's a movie on TV.>A large black man and several police officers are in a theater watching a black and white film>I'd better go too.
>>725713143now show the japanese text
>>725714260>Pokemon version of It>the book
>>725714975You didn't have friends growing up.I'm sorry.
>>725715452It's the exact same thing. Like others said, Stand by Me was insanely popular in Japan.
I just realized how much Sun/Moon and Let's Go Piss ruined the reference.RBY>this movie is a call to adventure. I'm called to adventure too...SM/LGPE>better stop watching movies and GO CATCH SOME HECKIN POKEMON!Surprised they kept the reference. Not at all shocked they ruined the implication of it.
>There’s a movie on TV.>Three people are sewn together to form a human Scolipede.>I better go.
>>725715452Its says>You're a faggotOh, look at that
>>725715535Why don't you comprehend what I'm talking about? Why has 4chan been reduced to someone obviously knowing something, but acting coy and like they're not being stupid? Stand By Me is an R rated movie. It's kind of peculiar that it's in a very family friendly game, especially the original Gameboy Pokemon. What I'm wondering is if the nuance of what makes Stand By Me R rated, is lost in translation in certain other cultures.
>There's a movie on TV>A masked man just told a young man that he's his father>I better go ask mom where my father is too
>>725716463What the fuck are you even trying to say retard
>There's a movie on TV.>A gun-slinging cowboy is marching across a field of roses, towards a shadowy brick tower.>I'd better go too.
>>725716313>Sun and Moon didn't even bother coming up with a different movieThank fucking God the KANTOOOO pandering era is over
>>725716463>Why has 4chan been reduced to someone obviously knowing something, but acting coy and like they're not being stupid?You know why. It's stunted faggot pretending to be retarded, hoping to find themselves in good company.We know what you meant, we just don't have a good answer.My guess is that, since the dev team for Red & Green was like 8 people, they were all recently into the movie and thought it'd be a fun homage for them while also being a call to adventure for children.
>>725716570Is having even a tiny bit of a nuanced conversation topic that hard for you? I am wondering if Stand By Me, a film with generally foul language in the original English version, which warranted its R rated, comes off softer in languages where that foul language doesn't easily translate, making the film seem more wholesome than it is. Hence why it winds up in a children's game, like Pokemon Red and Blue. I am so sorry you are having trouble connecting anything more than a simple straightforward A to B thought.
>>725716313>be localizer>get tasked with retranslating a game from 30 years ago with text designed to be readable by 5 year old children>only have 26 months to complete this arduous task>with only your quality checker, editor, your editor's editor, and DeepL to aid you>along the way, each of you "punch it up" by adding stuff that wasn't there>collectively edit each other's editing in a circlejerk of approval until it's basically a LLM hallucination>just barely manage to miss your deadline by only a few weeks, a new personal best>get paid 37 cents for this endeavor>but it's okay because I made Japanese my job, it's a real job mom I swear>such is life as a localizerThis all really happens by the way.
>>725716664man, too bad they never adapted any of the Dark Tower series... though with things these days, it'd be a colossal fuck-up, so I guess it's for the best
>>725716851But they did, didn't they? There was that movie with Idris Elba.
>>725717483nnnnnope, pretty sure that didn't happen, thank fuck for that too, hahahahahahahahahahahahah
>>725714756>>725716745Japanese does have "curse words" and can easily convey crudeness and rudeness like any other language. Although the most important aspect of politeness is respecting the difference in social status between yourself and others, which doesn't really apply between a bunch of crude young boys. I can't really speak about the moral culture of 80's Japan, but aside from the crudeness I can imagine that the graphic depiction of a dead body and kids brandishing real weapons at each other would be regarded with more weight than in the US.To get more to your point, it's certainly not a film that would have been seen as appropriate for young children. Pokémon referencing it isn't meant to imply that they have the same audience demographic, it's just a reference to an iconic scene in a popular old film (Stand By Me came out 10 years before Red & Green).
>>725718516I just do wonder if it's looked at closer to a family film in Japan. There's a literal Doraemon movie that just wholesale lifts the title. Doraemon.
>>725714982that tracks
>four niggas on a railroad
>>725713143The Stand by Me reference is jumpscare-tier by this point, most recently it's been in the lyrics of the latest Pokémon anime OP.
>>725719261All we had to do was suplex the damn train, Red!
