Red/Blue Kanto Pokédex entries 21-31, (Pikachu! Nidoqueen!) IN LATIN

Professor Oak sent us all on a journey to catch, and document, them all...but he sent me to do it in Latin. In this week's entry: Spearow. Fearow. Ekans. Arbok. Pikachu. Raichu. Sandshrew. Sandslash. Nidoran. Nidorina. Nidoqueen.

Part 3 of my project to translate every Gen 1 Pokémon name and Pokédex entry into Latin. Game Freak and Nintendo created a wonderful world for us to explore, with a wonderful bestiary within it, and the names and descriptions of these cute beasts are a big part of the charm and appeal of the series. The translation of their names is hugely important in localizing the loveable little critters and making them memorable with all the puns and little jokes. Why not Latin?

From Gen 1 Red and Blue to Diamond and Pearl to Sword and Shield and beyond, Pokémon is a really special series that makes us all a little more aware of language and the importance of names.
