this is our best clue for decoding the entire pokemon language

I’ve actually tried to decode it following Dephender and his team’s work on Pokemonster.net. http://www.pocketmonsters.net/content/Anime_Language

Based on what I see, the keypad, while the rows are our of order, the letter set up is almost exact to our modern keyboards but uses two different languages, the ‘main language’ and the ‘second language’, which you can find on the site. The red letters being from the main language, and the purple from the second. Considering that both languages are used in the anime at the same time, the keyboard set up doesn’t really surprise me much. Unfortunately, if the translation is true the board has no number system.

Using the site’s system only really connects with the solo letter keys, after that, it falls apart. The letters in yellow just repeats the second language in complete random forming nothing but gibberish despite this system being pretty spot on for the anime. I’ve tried following the possibility that the letters are using the Japanese alphabet instead of the English and compared the two regions keyboard setups. The only one that came close to anything relatable to a keypad was the ‘GS’ button, top left. On a Japanese keyboard, the G is き ‘Ki’ and S is と ‘to’ which can form the word ‘Returning’ possibly a loose translation for the show’s keyboard ‘return’ button found on some rl keyboards. But since this same process doesn’t work for the rest, then I can’t say it’s true.

I can go on further on some of my thoughts on what the different pads are. Some being pretty obvious. But since I haven’t cracked the code for which is which it’s just going to make the post even longer than it already need to be.

I’m still trying to figure it out, trying to dig in more on different languages. But if anyone has any kind of other ideas I’d be grateful to hear them.
