The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt.

In the original versions of the games (except Generations I to IV) this language is translated into Japanese, and in the English versions of the games, in English. If the original version (in the case of Pokémon franchise games, the Japanese version) already employs translation convention, sometimes a certain version is actually the accurate version, such as the English version of [[Pokémon | However, another explanation besides bilingualism would be the trope of [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslationConvention translation convention], that is, when a work translates for its audience the native language spoken by the characters to an audience that does not speak their native language.
