Pokemon Stadium FAQ
Copyright 1999 by Paul Springer
This FAQ may not be copied or distributed in any form without the written permission 
of the author. So nyeah.


Last Updated - 4/10/99

Welcome to the Pokemon Stadium Translation Faq! This guide is meant to be a helpful guide
for translating the menu/battle commands, and eventually the rest of the dialogue as well. 
Anyone who wants to help me out with this is welcome to give me a shout at oddish@iname.com 
or ICQ me at number 306806. 

Let me warn you that I've only been studying Japanese for about 2 weeks, but I feel i'm 
familiar enough with the cahracters to recognize them in a game. Thus, the definitions aren't
literal, just derived from what I see the characters doing. If anyone reading this can lend 
me a hand with what the actual meanings of the attacks are, I'd love to hear from you!

For viewing the Japanese characters, I recommend using the NJ Win program from NJ Star. You can
get it at http://www.njstar.com. For printing them, I recommend the Kanji Kit '97 from Pacific 
Software Publishing You can get it at http://www.pspinc.com.

Ok! On with the translation!

What's New:

3/23/99 - First version! Just the characters are translated, and they're organized by numbers
          according to the Nintendo Pokemon Chart. 

3/24/99 - Added the first five Pokemon's attacks, with the exception of a couple. 

3/27/99 - Added more Pokemon's moves. 

3/31/99 - Even more Pokemon's moves. Woo hoo!
          Also, I added a site you can go to incase the JIS encoding gets all corrupted here. 
          It's at http://www.homestead.com/oddishoddish/files/pokemonstadium-sg.htm

4/8/99  - Small Update. I was on vacation over the easter weekend, so didn't get much done.
          I'll probably try to get through the rest of them this weekend, and then start the
          revision process. 

4/10/99 - I think I only have 5 more to go, but I'm too lazy to count. Once those are done, 
          I'll start going over them again to catch anything I missed or left out. Then, I'll 
          Start working on teh other dialogue and such in the game. I still would like someone
          who knows Japanese to help me out on this, so please let me know if you want to help!

Because I'm a guy, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I'll miss a whole show looking for it, though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator.

Because I'm a guy, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions that we call a road service until long after hypothermia has set in. Oh, and when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another guy shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start." We will then drink beer.

Because I'm a guy, when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't an issue.

Because I'm a guy, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "Cumin" or "Tofu." For all I know these are the same thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.

Because I'm a guy, when one of our appliances stops working I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.

Because I'm a guy, I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't think we should stop and ask someone. Why would you listen to a complete stranger - how the heck could HE know where we're going?

Because I'm a guy, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The answer is always either sex or football, though I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't.

Because I'm a guy, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for mother's day is OK, I don't need to see it. Did you remember to pick up something for my mom, too?

Because I'm a guy, I am capable of announcing, "one more beer and I really have to go," and mean it every single time I say it, even when it gets to the point that the one bar closes and my buddies and I have to go hunt down another. I will find it increasingly hilarious to have my pals call you to tell you I'll be home soon, and no, I don't understand why you threw all my clothes into the front yard. What's the connection?

Because I'm a guy, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.

Because I'm a guy, yes, I have to turn up the radio when Bruce Springsteen or The Doors comes on, and then, yes, I have to tell you every single time about how Bruce had his picture on the cover of Time and Newsweek the same day, or how Jim Morrison is buried in Paris and everyone visits his grave. Please do not behave as if you do not find this fascinating.

Because I'm a guy, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?

Because I'm a guy and this is, after all, the 90's, I will share equally in the housework. You do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, and the dishes. I'll do the rest.
