Pokémon in Latin! The Kanto Pokédex in the Latin language.

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: Nidoran. Nidorino. Nidoking. Clefairy. Clefable. Vulpix. Ninetales. Jigglypuff. Wigglytuff.

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 lovable little critters and making them memorable with all the puns and little jokes. Why not Latin?

My beautiful and talented girlfriend Livnat did the backgrounds for the video, really making those great Ken Sugimori illustrations pop out of that medieval-style backdrop, so huge thanks to her.
