Typhlosion will never beat the allegations.

Typhlosion did nothing wrong; it was a misconception caused by poor translation. That's what you get for using Google Translate. Now Hypno on the other hand...

Typhlosion posting a 3 hour debunking video on Youtube on the allegations, while Hypno just posts increasingly unhinged rants on Twitter, doubling down on their position with no apology.

This is entirely too accurate and Nintendo's lawyers are already on their way

Ah. Shucks. Well, I had a good run.

This is mostly untrue. The only point of contention is whether or not the girl was a minor, because the Japanese word used that was translated as "young" can also mean "unmarried woman" in certain contexts. People heard about this possible specific mistranslation and blew it out of proportion as if the entire translation was suspect. Adult or not, she still got Bill Cosby'd.

tbf, It's also something that's not really in the games or in official lore either from what I recall.

It and a lot of that smutty kind of lore was written by one woman working with game freak I believe. And game freak/Nintendo had ownership of all the work produced for it so they just kept it. So it's an official writing in a way just not really canon. Though they had a story about someone marrying a pikachu (gen 4 I think) so at this point who's to say

The most accurate translation of the word in the context of the story would be "maiden", which doesn't inherently state an age but typically refers to 20 something unmarried women. It's also inspired by Japanese mythology and Yokai so the direct comparison to modern thoughts on sexuality and relationships doesn't really apply here as they're more anecdotal than concrete narratives.
Also, nice PFP; Dillon is a deep cut character and it neat to see someone who's a fan. I'd love to see him added to the next Smash Bros., though that doesn't seem likely.

Tbf mistranslation or not, its also not supposed to be something typlosions actually do but rather is in-universe folklore meant to parallel the "animal spouse" myth you find in stories from all over the real world.

Things like selkies, swan maidens, the crane wife, the each-uisge, the encantado, etc. In some tales the human kidnaps the magical animal and forces them to be their spouse, in others its the magical animal that kidnaps the human and forces them to be their spouse.

Fuck me that funny.

You know your related when you can easily embarass and poke fun at each other. Still sad Typhlosion doesn't have a mega

I'd say leave Typhlosion alone with that BS but given what you are responding to, can't argue the fact he had that coming lol

jajaja, una vieja amiga para conocer ese nivel de tierra?

concretely speaking, all typhlosion has to say in response is "she was a white chick"

That does not make it better

Never mess with my leafy boi!

Ha! Lol Typhlosion will never live down the allegations xD

Can someone explain it to me?

All Gamefreak had to do was mention somewhere that the Fire Nation attacked and that whole nonsense about Typhlosion back then would have been twice as hilarious.

IT'S NOT FAIR

The expressions on their faces are funny but I swear the Pokemon fandom has 3 jokes maximum. Im tired, boss.

I dunno man. The several competitive jokes are great, also love the pmd memes. But ppl tend to pay more attention to the most popular ones because they found them funny.

Kek, gold dust.
