kai- what happened in roughly 1870 though
why was there temporary internet
with a few people searching for pokemon?
alice- it's a search of google books, but the question still stands, what the fuck happened in 1870
keiji- i can answer this!!
in the cornish dialect of english, pokemon meant 'clumsy' (pure coincidence).
in the mid 1800's, there was a surge of writing about the cornish language and dialect in an attempt to preserve them with glossaries and dictionaries being written. i wrote about it here
