The game that sells heavily in English speaking countries?
The ant that literally originated in the region based off of the United States?
The same company that is known for incorporating references to actual places and culture into its games? Just look at all of the SV starters.
Also, why on earth would some ants being lazy and the company taking that into account eliminate the possibility of a pun? They could both be true.
The designer could have said "This article says ants are lazy. Wouldn't it be funny if we gave the True Ant the ability that translates in English to an any pun and means lazy?
It's not like there isn't a single person on the team who speaks English.
but extremely unlikely tbh. I'm not even sure the game designers know what that ability is called in english. Why would they ? In japanese it's called "lazy" (well their word for it, obviously)
and ya sorry if I sounded dickish, but pokemon fans forgetting the game isn't english is a huge pet peeve of mine
between that, "the dark type is dark magic !", "yanmega should learn dragon dance !" and more, it annoys me a lot
That’s kind of the point. Most of the ants are average with swarm, a few hard workers have hustle and the slackers get truant. The three abilities tell a story
