Here's the translations for the Team Galactic train station ad messages! These are intended for players who played the original DP as kids and are now going to play BDSP!

Commander Saturn and ToxicroakALT

It's been a long time.

I've never forgotten your face.

Next time, our goal to fulfill the boss's one true wish will be accomplished.

No matter who it is, I will not show mercy to anyone!

I'll give Team Galactic's hospitality to those who oppose us.

Now, watch as the power of Team Galactic expands.

Eventually, it will reach you.

Everything is for everyone and for Team Galactic!

Commander Jupiter and SkuntankALT

Hmm. Your face is nostalgic.

If you're trying to get in our way again,

Then, Jupiter will deal with you. (*)

No matter who it is, I won't let my guard down around anyone.

Next time, I'll make you cry!

And, I'll tell you this.

Don't mess with Team Galactic.

We're going to do something amazing for everyone's sake.

Commander Mars and PuruglyALT

Been a while- not.

Just looking at your face reminds me that I don't like you!

How dare you disturb me so much back then!

It's because of you I had such a terrible experience!

Well, in the fated Sinnoh region,

Payback isn't such a bad idea.

Even as we speak, Team Galactic are planning their next move.

You should look forward to what Team Galactic will do in the future…!

Two Team Galactic grunts and Lucas in battleALT

It's been a while, hasn't it...

It seems that you interfered a lot back then.

I don't know. I'm just a grunt.

Even so, the last time I saw you, you were just a kid.

You've really grown into someone quite respectable.

Well, wouldn't it be okay for you to join us now?

I think you could be a little useful as a grunt.

Well, only if you're eligible to join, that is.


* = Jupiter randomly refers to herself by the third person in this line. This is really the best translation any of us could come up with for it because the line itself is weird

Pinned Post my heart I'm just dead have a nice day i very much like this thank you very much for posting this i will cherish this

I didn’t realise this until adulthood but handmade birthday piñatas are the apex of parental devotion. I spent the week cooking for my ravenous teenage cousins and felt a bit crestfallen at times that I was spending so long making something that was going to disappear within minutes—but with piñatas it’s so much worse, they exist to be savagely maimed. Year after year my father asked his kids what shape they wanted this year’s piñatas to be and he spent weeks painstakingly making them in the basement after work, only to watch a bunch of oversugared bat-wielding kids gleefully destroy them in less than 10 minutes. 

I mentioned this to him and he said he remembered researching tarantula anatomy for the giant spider piñata I asked for when I was 4, trying to make the fangs the right shape and to cut the crepe paper into very thin ribbons so the thing would look appropriately fuzzy, and I was like “and I don’t even remember it because I was four!! spending so long building a beautiful object only so your kids will have fun destroying it, knowing they won’t even remember it, is such a selfless endeavour” and he said “my other motivation was that you said you wanted the spider to look real & scary so the kids at your birthday party would be terrified of it and you’d get to scoop up all the candy and I wanted to support your slyness & ambition”

A co-worker of mine was standing outside with me during a break from customers to share a cigarette with me, and told me about how he had lost his brother that he was close with some years ago. He told me about how they used to be in a band together with some friends, and how ever since he'd died, he hadn't played any music because he'd been too scared and anxious. I told him about how I'd lost my brother to suicide some years ago.

I went home and pulled out an old tiny wooden box my brother had given me before he'd died. I'd been using it to store guitar picks I'd collected over the years, including one guitar pick that used to be his. I haven't played the guitar since he'd died, my hands are too small to play some of the chords, so I play bass and piano instead.

I went to work the next day and gifted my brothers old guitar pick to my co-worker. I told him that it'd been sitting in a box for ten years unused, and would probably sit there for longer if I kept it there. Told him that I thought he deserved to have it, because I bet he could put it to better use than I ever would. Told him I didn't feel like it was coincidence that me and him would cross paths with each other in our lives, and that it seemed suiting that we had these similar experiences but split in two halves. That somehow, I felt like he was meant to have the guitar pick. I told him that I knew he'd not played guitar since his brother died, but that if he ever decided to play again one of these days, maybe he'd be able to honor both of our brothers by using that guitar pick.

He almost cried. He thanked me. Then he went home that night and for the first time in years he played the guitar.

I don't know what the meaning of life is or what my purpose is, but I do believe that love and human connection is one of the most important things in life. It's finding ways to tell strangers you love them and share experiences with others. I think it's all just about love.
