sometimes i like to point out the fact that in Japanese, DPP apparently explicitly said humans and pokémon* would intermarry in some distant past. but honestly i really like the way it was localized into english; i think the resulting text ended up being a lot more evocative, even if arguably “censored” legendsoflocalization.com/arti

* it also says they were indistinguishable at the time, so it might be strictly incorrect to say intermarriage was even happening

though imo the english language text is very open to the reading that “intermarriage” would have been happening anyway
