I'm putting together a vocab list for pokemon, to help those who either want to be able to follow the anime, or play XY with the Japanese language option. Just as I did with the minecraft thread, I'll keep coming back and adding to the list when I have the time. Jade said she'll try to add some repeated dialogues, such as what they say when you go to the pokemon center, and maybe menu items. Although I'd also gladly do that if people think it would be useful. I haven't included many katakana words for now (like ジムリーダー or ポケモンセンター), unless I feel they're unique in some way, but I might come back and add those too when I have time. I'm collecting these words by playing through the game, and also when watching the anime with JP, so it's a gradual process.

新人ようポケモン Starter We've been saying 'スターター' but I don't think the Japanese say this. The game doesn't explicitly call them anything but the anime called them 新人ようポケモン (pokemon for beginners) I'll update if I find the correct word.
進化 しんか Evolution
進化系 しんかけい Evolutions (as a set/lineage)
進化前 しんかまえ Unevolved pokemon
勝負 しょうぶ Bout, fight, Contest, game
地方 ちほう Region
草むら くさむら Long grass (literally 'thicket')
賞金 しょうきん Prize money
Verbs 動詞
ゲットする To catch a pokemon
進化する しんかする To evolve
レベルアップする To level up
戦う たたかう To battle, to go up against (ya gonna need this one ^^)
しかける To challenge (You see this when an opponent challenges you. The old games said 'so and so wants to fight' in English, but I noticed when JP showed me a youtube video, that it says something different now, that I've forgotten. Anyway, in Japanese, fights are preceded by '(人)がしょうぶをしかけてきた'
入れ替える いれかえる to replace. This appears when you switch out your pokemon, and you'll also be asked after an opponent's pokemon feints..'ポケモンをいれかえますか?' to which you can select either 'ポケモンをいれかえる' or 'そのままたたかう '
並び替える ならびかえる To rearrange (ie. the order of your pokemon)
回復する かいふくする to heal (with items)
くりだす to send out (used in the context of putting out a pokemon into a battle)
つれていく I'm including this one because just because I was interested to learn this is used for withdrawing pokemon from the PC. Makes total sense, but I was expecting 降ろす, and I love it when I discover Japanese being reworded from English.
Note: I've forgotten some of the English words because it's been 8 years or more since I played Pokemon. I've placed next to words I'm not entirely sure I've translated correctly
