Why there are no chinese players in worlds?
I think that they play pokemon too.
I think that they play pokemon too.
Because Abby Shu Shu just turned six and is not ready yet.
I'd think that with all the counterfeiting in China, that'd be a reason not to have OP there.
well.... i am fairly sure there were some chinese in Worlds and i think one of the biggest reasons why china does not play pokemon is because of the language barrier
thanks
I remember reading that Pokemon was banned in China, but I can't remember when or where....
Her name is Mai-Mae Ling Wey thank you very much :nonono:
That's very interesting!But the Chinese version card I think will gaining NO popularity outside Taiwan.
For the written Chinese we have first of all Traditional Chinese characters (used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and overseas) and Simplified Chinese characters (used in PRC, Malaysia, Singapore etc).
Some people may understand both (I'm one of these guys haha), but most don't !
Besides the chinese characters, another problems is the wording/grammer.
In wikipedia, there are seven Chinese-based language options.
1. Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
2. Written Traditional Cantonese Chinese (Hong Kong, Macau)
3. Spoken Traditional Cantonese Chinese (Hong Kong, Macau)
4. Traditional classical Chinese (very very minor group of people LOL)
5. Simplified Chinese (PRC)
6. Simplified Chinese (Malaysia, Singapore)
7. Simplified Wuyu Chinese (eastern-mainland China, Shanghai etc)
1, 2, 5 is mainly used by most Chinese.
But they are all having some sort of difference.
Will have some trouble during reading
(Although I understand 1,2,3,5 and 6, but when reading the Taiwanese Chinese cards, I have to spent like an extra 30 seconds to understand what the card saying).
To manufacture Chinese Pokemon Card, the nintendo have to make these 3 language version to meet all our needs, especially Simplified Chinese (PRC). :thumb:
