all it knows is dig
level 31 and it just knows dig
what am i supposed to do with this
is
is this machamp’s name “homo matsuri”
as in
“homo festival”
yea this is good
Some more interesting information:
“Dig” in Japanese was originally “Ana wo horu,” which translates to “Dig a hole,” with the direct object’s being “Ana,” “a hole” and the verb’s being “horu,” “dig.”
The common writing of “ana,” “穴,” is the same as a colloquial term for the buttocks, “ketsu.”
“Horu,” in addition to it’s more standard definition, is also a slang verb meaning “to have anal sex (between two men).”
Your new Machamp is named “Homo Festival,” and it’s only move is to fuck a man in the ass.
I had a hunch so I looked into it, and I’m pretty convinced now that it being lv31 is also a pun, via goroawase (matching numbers phonetically to create words). there’s a lot of different ways you can do goroawase due to most digits having multiple possible pronunciations, but there’s one particular reading here that stands out:
3 can be san or mi. 1 can be ichi, hi, or to.
mito is a polite archaic word for genetalia.
its name is Homo Festival, its level is penis, and its only move is to fuck a man in the ass. a masterwork.
somebody put a remarkable amount of work and forethought into what is arguable one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a multiplayer game.
it’s beautiful, frankly
