History: selci'a sera'a lai pokemon.
Preview of version: 36
This page is a collaboration attempt at consistently translating important terms and lines from the Pokemon games. The discussion page is here
Table of contents
Gen 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow)
(in progress)
This is a direct rip of terms from the Pokémon Red video game, to be translated into Lojban. Inspired by lai pokemon., I (mi'e Joe Anderson) have gotten a ROM editing environment set up to actually create the game, translated. As a proof of concept, I have already translated most of the options menu. This was nontrivial, as I constructed my own combination characters for apostrophe+vowel. Also, I have the capability to modify the strings and reassemble the ROM, so the lengths of dialogue strings are not limited.
I'm putting this here in case anyone would like to aid in the translation, and so that I may focus on translating dialogue. I'm not copying over the pokémon names from lai pokemon. into this page to avoid duplication of effort, but for Items and such I am restating them here in full. I expect lai pokemon. to remain useful as a guide for talking about pokémon, whereas this is merely a repository of terms for the game translation. Naming rules vary for each topic.
Hi, I like this project and I'd like to help out. The thought of one day being able to play this game fully in Lojban is very motivating. I can mark all my contributions if you like. --selpa'i
- Thanks! It's been rather motivating for me, as well. Most of the translations you see here were unplanned; I just couldn't help myself! Anyway, no need to mark contributions; I'm email-watching the page
Items
Conditions for item words
- selbri, 12-character limit ({'a} and other apostrophe-vowel combinations are one character each.)
- parallel name ending for parallel items, such as potions, balls, heals, etc.
- for short ones, full gismu and tanru are preferred to rafsi unless it would ruin aforementioned parallelism.
- In-game, there exists the gismu {pokma} with rafsi -pok- for pokemon. It is defined the same as the real words pokmone / daskyda'u.

Attacks
Conditions for attack words
- selbri, 12-character limit ({'a} and other apostrophe-vowel combinations are one character each.)
- parallel name endings for parallel actions, such as punches, kicks, etc.
- for short names, full gismu are preferred to rafsi unless it would ruin aforementioned parallelism
- I'm planning on using "ko'a zo'u broda" for "[pokemon] used [attack]!" This gives a lot of freedom in translation. Technically, this even means we can use bridi; however, due to character limitations and the versatility of using selbri, use selbri.
- Sometimes the selbri must be more descriptive than what it's translating. See "METRONOME" and Bulbapedia.

Dialogue
Conditions for Dialogue
- full bridi, no character limit, should be straightforward
- I'll worry about line breaks for you Please put {.i} in, however. Don't add it if there's only one bridi. -((Joe Anderson)
