NPC Dialogue Errors [NOT NPC BUGS]

Unknown007 · June 12, 2016

Hello everyone,

Please report errors in NPC dialogues in this thread (only NPC dialogues, this thread is [glow=red]not[/glow] about getting stuck from NPCs. Such posts can be subjected to deletion without notice). Also mention the map name to make sure the NPC with the error in question can be located, thus fixed as soon as possible from us.

NPCs include things like:

Trainers
Gym Leaders
Headbutt Trees
Dig Spots
Trash Cans
Pokemon walking about

E.g. of an error in a Gym Leader dialogue:

Quote

You recieved the Boulder Badge!

Should really be:

Quote

You received the Boulder Badge!

Help us improve the quality of the game! :Smile:

Thank you~

PS:

Small things that we are trying to keep as a standard:

"Pokemon" is always titlecased, as do Pokemon names (e.g. Pikachu). Pokemon and Pokemon names never take plural. (e.g. There are many Pokemon here, all of them are Pikachu).

Whenever we quote a Pokemon type, we use: "Grass type Pokemon" (i.e.title case for the type and Pokemon, "type" itself is lowercase, and no hyphen in between, anywhere).

You can ignore "ok". Most are using "ok" like a word in itself, i.e. using the capital 'o' only at the beginning of a sentence, although you might encounter a few 'OK' here and there.

"..." (elipses) are used a quite freely. By that I mean they sometimes indicate pauses and the end of a sentence, and at other times they indicate a brief pause for uncertainty/hesitation. In these cases, the phrases separated by the elipses are considered as a whole as if the elipses do not exist (e.g. "Hey I... wanted to ask you something... Can you battle me please?" The first two parts can very well be read as a single sentence, but the second cannot).

PPS: Errors relating to map names are not to be reported in this thread.

Re: NPC Dialogue Errors

<t>Nicely spotted! Oh yea and thanks for the compliment :) I probably need to redraw it though, the site's resizing made it look very pixelly xD Need to set some time apart sometime.

And yup, these are good finds. I won't always change it as per your suggestions, if for instance they could be changed to something simpler or if it feels a bit weird to keep the same phrasing, if that makes sense? Like the fisherman, I'd say "I got too much into fishing." to make it simpler. And no pressure on reporting them quickly, you're doing a great job in my eyes ^^</t>

Since you capitalize most Pokémon types I figured this one should be capitalized as well unless you don't refer to the type itself.

Re: NPC Dialogue Errors

<t>Cool thanks! :)

And yes, for things that are 2-3 words long, we tend to omit the period just like how boards are sometimes displayed as.

All but the last fixed.</t>
