They didn't translate it as a cowboy

Kyogre in Japanese uses an old, rural dialect to make him sound ancient but also kinda like he's from the countryside, so I get what they were going for
They were trying to make him sound like an old farmer, since that's probably the closest comparison dialect in english, but it's hard to really capture "old" in text so he just comes across as a cowboy instead

I swear half of the pokemon in pokopia have a southern drawl

the rainbow rocket thing really drilled in how much of an insane psycho ghetsis is. he needs to be the final boss of pokemon, especially when they introduce the complete dragon

The central problem with this is trying to translate from Japanese into American English, where you lack the intent cultural touchstones and markers of an old civilisation. If they'd translated to British/Irish English, these problems would not exist.

Nu-pokemon just makes everyone and everything into a retarded caricature, don't think too much about it, gamefreak definitely doesn't.
