Also, where you said "someone could make it say anything" that's not how cryptography/ciphers work, any attempt to use the fake cipher on the code should show the weakness.[[User:Green Zubat|Green Zubat]] 03:07, 19 June 2011 (UTC) | ::::::I included it in the talk page, [http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/pok-mon/abyssal-ruins-method-of-translation/t.70619547/?_gaia_t_=3934 here it is].

I'm about to go to bed now, 'cause its super late over here however before I go (in case you were still wondering how they got the translation) but I forgot to mention [specifically] the code was cracked by trial & error - testing different letters in different positions to see how they fit, that's usually how decoding a cipher works. Silktree/the OP admits that [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=86617 here].
