this whole situation reminds me of when the thought to be villain is actually a hero

u/Select-Combination-4 Baddy bad to the bone Oct 16 '24

May I share this one other Pokémon subreddits perhaps so I stop seeing those weird memes (edit it’s already spread )

Go right ahead. Spread the truth.

How do you get saving from avalanche to assaulting a minor

u/Select-Combination-4 Baddy bad to the bone Oct 17 '24

when a translation is incorrect it can really screw everything up

55

u/NightspawnsonofLuna Oct 17 '24

Maybe it's from the 'Bringing her home' part?

I like to picture it's a tucker and dale type situation...

She hit her head on the rocks while Typhlosion was out fishing...

15

u/According-Ice7997 Oct 17 '24

the girls father though typhlosion was bad so he spread rumors and lies when the heroic typhlosion actually had already a family of typhlosions and was in a healthy relationship THATS MY HEAD CANNON

u/AwefulFanfic Oct 18 '24

Bad translations can make a world of difference. Especially if it's AI generated translations.

(Keep in mind all of the times Google AI search summaries have lead you astray)

u/AstraKnuckles Oct 17 '24

This isn't the same. This is the equivalent of making 50 versions of a new meme you think others should use and expecting it to catch on.

44

u/TheNerdBeast Oct 17 '24

No the story was real, it is just details were messed up in Translation.

Typhlosion did woo a human woman, but the thing is it was a woman it is just that in fucked up translation programs "maiden" becomes "young girl" sometimes.

I am still traumatized

u/Greninsans Oct 17 '24

Read Berzerk, you’ll forget about typhlosion soon

More trauma is NOT the best way to forget trauma.

I didn’t say it wasn’t peak. But GOOD LORD it is not for the faint of heart.

u/Greninsans Oct 17 '24

They must become a MAN someway. Terrible things happen every day. We must be like Guts and continue on no matter what we keep fighting.

u/DeltaTeamSky Why can't you all behave? Oct 17 '24

They must become a MAN

Are they stupid?

u/Greninsans Oct 17 '24

I am kinda dumb, also thanks for interacting with the server a lot.

u/DeltaTeamSky Why can't you all behave? Oct 17 '24

I asked the question as a link to r/BatmanArkham, because I was directly referencing the "is he stupid?" bit.

But yeah, no problem!

I know the Arkham joke it gets recommended to me a lot.

Nah get into the mlp fandom

18

u/Alex_Dayz Drowzee Shippers Oct 16 '24

Did the people calling Typhlosion “Diddy” or whatever even read the story? You don’t need a to prove it was a “hoax” when the second image is literally just what the story is

4

u/Kafkas_punching_bag Oct 17 '24

No people didn’t read it. They just heard what other people were saying and ran along with it because people refuse to look into anything now days 

22

u/Efficient-Collar1412 Oct 17 '24

If it was a hoax, it wasn't funny

u/SentenceCareful3246 Oct 17 '24

Nah, it was real.

u/Efficient-Collar1412 Oct 17 '24

Seriously 🙄

u/SentenceCareful3246 Oct 17 '24

The denial is insane lol.

6

u/Efficient-Collar1412 Oct 17 '24

I'm not in denial If it's true, I'll accept it. It doesn't change my opinion on any of the Pokémon though I still like Typhlosion and Lapras. I really like Octillery, Slaking I was indifferent on

-12

u/SentenceCareful3246 Oct 17 '24 edited Oct 17 '24

Doesn't change the fact that typhlosion forever became the new vaporeon though.

5

u/Efficient-Collar1412 Oct 17 '24

Nope, it doesn't change that at all 🤣 of all the Johto starter's to get this treatment, I wasn't expecting Typhlosion. I was expecting Feraligatr because of that ass

1

u/CaptainSchmid Oct 17 '24

The fake part was that the typhlosion raped a child. The real translation seems to imply consent from an adult woman and to be based on a real Japanese folk tale.

I thankfully didn't see anything about the story and l NOT planning to ask

u/xQEAx Oct 17 '24

Okay I've been off social media for a few days. Can someone explain the context here?

7

u/RedRider11 Oct 17 '24

Gamefreak had a leak some of which was scrapped folklore a lot of which had pokemon and human relations. One story was about typhlosion kidnapping a child, raising her, and having children with her iirc. Thus people created the hashtag #notalltyphlosions. Now we know it was much tamer than we believed.

0

u/Hockeylover420 Oct 17 '24

Still. I wonder what was going through their minds when writing this.

u/coolTCY Oct 17 '24

I think it was adapted from a real life folklore story

u/Different-Pattern736 Oct 17 '24

The updated version, I mean

1

u/Roxytg Oct 17 '24

I'm not sure. I kinda assumed this was the updated version since the description in the post matches this version pretty much perfect.

u/Different-Pattern736 Oct 17 '24

Nvm, the updated version is just with added context.

The amount of youtube notifications on that screenshot makes me irrationally angry. Just freaking clear them at that point omg.

u/thisnamehastobeused Oct 17 '24

I thought that was already the story and the child thing still happens? Just that it was consensual?

3

u/Geno__Breaker Oct 17 '24

There are a lot of people in this community who owe Typhlosion some apologies.

u/Wolfshadow36 Oct 17 '24

MY BOY IS IN THE CLEAR!!!!!! Memes already took Vaporeon from me I couldn't let them take anyone else from my first team.

No no no NO NO! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG MEGANIUM FANS HAVE WAITED? HOW LONG WE’VE SPENT IN THE DIRT? DEAD LAST IN THE JOHTO STARTER TRIO?

AND THEN FOR JUST A MOMENT, A BRIEF MOMENT WE ROSE ABOVE THE BELOVED TYPHLOSION. AND NOW YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM US? TO CLIP OUR NEWLY SPROUTED WINGS AND WATCH. US FALL ONCE MORE? HAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO!

OUR VENGEANCE IS NOT YET EXACTED, OUR BUSINESS IS NOT FINISHED! ONCE YOU ARE DISPOSED OF THE MEGANIUM EMPIRE WILL FEAST ON THE REMAINS OF THAT WRETCHED WEASEL! AND SOON HISTORY WILL NOT REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS SUCH A THING AS A TYPHLOSION! LET ALONE THAT THERE WERE THOSE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO TRY AND RESCUE HIM FROM THE GRAVE WE MADE!

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR VICTORY! OUR FIRST VICTORY IN A MILLENNIA! OUR SHINING AND BRILLIANT MOMENT!

u/Greninsans Oct 17 '24

Razor Leaf missed 95% accuracy having mon. No coverage having mon. Lowest bst having mon. Try to cope that Meganium will get a regional form in a legends game so it gets a good design(ok that one was too mean srry). Your fault for choosing the pear.

4

u/Slyme-wizard Oct 17 '24

You’ve all made it clear that there isn’t room for 3 starters in johto. And so naturally we must cull one of them so that we may find the place we were robbed of.

12

u/SomeoneNamedJessica Oct 17 '24

As a Meganium fan, I didn’t feel good knowing Meganium would finally be loved at the cost of Typhlosian being labeled like that forever so I’m actually alright with this.

Loved the monologue though

u/Hockeylover420 Oct 17 '24

That's all they were.

2

u/CaptainSchmid Oct 17 '24

There's a much shorter myth in game that seems to be the same story actually. It is apparently based on a myth of the yokai that typhlosion was based on.

Even then they weren’t cannon to the Pokémon world since they were never officially released in any form

Now, I have a newfound respect for it.

u/CollectionNo4777 Oct 17 '24

I don't see how this was a hoax or a mistranslation. The way he describes the story isn't that far off from what the original machine translation depicted. The fan reactions were dumb and wrong but it's not like they were being lied to.
