Talk:Lugia (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

:Having had an opportunity to go through the blog posts the video's creator cites, a lot of it appears to be mistranslated. I probably should restrain myself from accusing them of willful mistranslation just to get attention, but the question can be asked. Nonetheless, any level of skepticism applied would've dismissed this as ridiculous. This very talk page had a very similar conversation about a decade ago, and even without the benefit of knowing about the Spaceworld beta designs and some trivia about Shudo's estate, came to the conclusion their bets ought to be hedged w/r/t such a claim. I am actually inclined to suggest any bit of information on this site linking to this channel or this person's website as a source should be reviewed for accuracy of the translation of his alleged sources, but that might be overkill. Claiming to "have a scoop" on who created Lugia, and really exaggerating Shudo's personality and so on, seems to be the one lie that got him the clicks needed to launch a successful? Youtube career, and translation work aside from that appears above board. On the circles of the internet I'm on, everyone knew this was balderdash, but it appears that in the past two years this has become accepted 'fact' in the larger Pokémon community and it's absurd it has been this site for 2 years and no one bothered to double check this. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and there is no evidence to support Shudo as Lugia's creator. --[[User:INTERNETFRIEND|INTERNETFRIEND]] ([[User talk:INTERNETFRIEND|talk]]) 15:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
