[/quote] [b]Dictionary definition:[/b] Deliberately deviating from what is regarded as normal, good, or proper / Obstinately persisting in an error or fault; wrongly self-willed or stubborn. It's not sexual perversion, where you take an unnatural obsession in the body or reproductive cycle. It's just taking an obscene intention towards something. As they say about the move "It reverses changes to its stats" - deviating from what is set. So say your ATK was decreased, your would 'perverse' in reversing them. You can be perverted about art.

[/quote] This isn't an american error, it was probably translated directly into English and as Liam said it does have alternate meanings. Making it perfectly acceptable, however misplaced.

Blake Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Great ability is great... On Smugleaf and family. Also, what LiAM said. That is the true, original meaning. Heck, watch a Yogi Bear (AKA An American) cartoon. They say molest, CONSTANTLY. Why? Well, 40 or so yers ago, mollest meant its original definition. To disturb. So, get over the "Translation Errors" and "lolfunnyname" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 When it says "perversity", it means to mislead away, or to turn from correct judgment. If Nintendo wanted to place perversity, do you think they made it as in sexual liking? The ability doesn't even seem fitting. So yes, do not confuse your connotations with regular words. Cause it ain't funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just a few notes: Fenrir (Not Fenrir-Chan) Ice ProtoMachineEmperor Etc. All 3 of them are 13 and mature. I don't think age matters here, as there are many immature older members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Don't forget me. I'm 13 too. Yet I'm not as immature as this. When it first came in my mind, I thought of it as weird, but not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
