After using auto-translate five minutes ago, I am now very upset about the English translation of the yo-kai "Flash T. Cash" (hexbear.net)

Yo-Kai Watch 3 post!

I'm trying to milk the remaining week out of one of my favorite games before Nintendo shuts down all the 3DS online stuff and I won't get to battle online anymore. The decent English-language sites for this game went down a while ago, so I tried using google auto-translate on the Japanese one.

This stood out to me because the English translators called this guy "Flash T. Cash" and I'm in shock at how much better his name is when just using google autotranslate: link

He's one of the 'Merican yo-kai, who comes from the faraway country of BBQ. (It's possible that the Japanese name for that nation doesn't translate to BBQ either.)

Looks like it's literally just USA in the Japanese.

I never played Yo-kai watch 3 but I did play the second game a lot when I was younger, yo-kai watch psychic specters methinks. You ever play that game???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Psychic Specters was more or less an improved, more polished version of ykw2. I never played it specifically, but I played Fleshy Souls, which was the first version of 2. I've played 3 a lot more though.

Also whats your favorite Yo-kai from the games

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He's only in ykw3, but I absolutely love Sighborg Y. I love how you just randomly find them and have no idea what's going on, the voiceover where there's a random announcer asking IS THAT THE REAL SIGHBORG Y????, the suspense until he says IT'S A FAKE SIGHBORG Y!, the complete lack of explanation for what the hell Sighborg Y is or why there would be imposters or why you should even care, the fact that he inexplicably gets his own tribe while the other 700 yo-kai are split up pretty evenly through the other tribes, the fact that the only thing useful about him is that his soultimate will turn the yo-kai it hits into other sighborgs, making them just as useless as he is. All of it, it's great.

Ive never heard of that one but her certainly sounds pretty goofy.

I just started yk1 and havent seen that many, but someone showed me petty-cake and she's the whole reason I decided to start the series

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ive bever seen that one, I think its from one of the games after yo-kai watch two

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, Petty-Cake is also from 3.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Figured cause I know generally all the yo-kai in the second game and I dont remeber that one
