Massive Translation Project - Game Scripts on: December 08, 2017 01:14
Working on yet another translation project - something that will hopefully allow more people to get interested in languages.
I found a copy of the Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow transcript at GameFaqs.com written by TheSinnerChrono and decided why not translate THE ENTIRE GAME into Elvish? The eventual goal is to be able to reprogram those games in such a way that everything is displayed in Tengwar.
I've only translated a section so far. I ask that you please take the translation with a grain of salt, as some words are cobbled together to try to get the correct meaning across. If you happen to know of a better way to express a thing or if I have made a mistake, by all means tell me!
Citation of objects in speaker identification denotes that the proceeding text
is that of the message displayed upon examination of the objects in question.
* - Text
Descriptions of character actions, et cetera.
-(Text)
Following the above would be the events prompted by a particular option.
The number of hyphens corresponds to the choice layer; i.e., the first set
of options will have one hyphen, the second set will have two, and so on.
One equal sign accounts for two hyphens.
Parts of script for trainers whom one can engage in battle are identified thus:
"{S}" = Start of trainer encounter
"{C}" = Classification (Bug catcher, swimmer, et cetera)
"{E}" = End of battle
"{A}" = After having defeated the trainer, when speaking to him/her again
