→‎List of Characteristics: ひるね (昼寝 or 昼寐) means both "nap" and "siesta", hence why the English version went with the latter.

 Note that having a certain Characteristic does not necessarily imply that the highest possible value for an IV is present. A Pokémon with an "Alert to sounds" Characteristic could have a 6 in Speed (and thus very low IVs across all of its stats since none could be higher than 6) instead of a 31 in Speed.
-Also note that "Takes plenty of siestas" has been mistakenly translated to "Often dozes off", and "Nods off a lot" to "Often scatters things" in Generations IV and V.
+===Mistranslations===
+In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|V}}, two of the characteristics were not properly translated from the Japanese releases:
+* いねむりがおおい ''Often dozes off'' was translated as "Often scatters things"; it was fixed to "Nods off a lot" in [[Generation VI]]
+* ひるねをよくする ''takes siestas a lot'' was translated as "Often dozes off"; it was fixed to "Takes plenty of siestas" in Generation VI
+"Scatters things often" is correctly translated from ものをよくちらかす, which means the exact same thing.
