Since I learned that there are bugs from Pokemon that they carry their mother’s skull as a souvenir, others that kidnap children at night, and that people put warm Darumaka feces in their pockets to overcome the cold, nothing surprises me anymore.
However, I must admit that this curiosity of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl that I have come across today has made me quite funny. The protagonist is again poopbut in this case it reaches a much more eschatological level.
As you already know the editions of Pokémon Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl are actually remakes of the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum released for the Nintendo DS back in 2007.
Well, the fact is that in those games there was a mechanic called fertilizer that served to modify the characteristics of a plant of berriesfor example to make it sprout again without using a seed.
The idea ended up being discarded within the saga and, by the time Pokémon Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl they arrived at Switch Last year, the lady who used to sell you compost switched to selling you berries.
Although in the Spanish version someone noticed the change and adapted the text to avoid problems, in the case of the English version the same conversation was held from when she used to sell you fertilizer, thus implying that the berries that the lady sells you now are actually made of dirt and poop.
Here is the test image. Remember that in English the adjectives, determiners and quantities go before the noun, hence the joke that it is not maintained in its translation.
“I make them by mixing high-quality soil with (poop from) Pokémon… Well… You know…”
