Pokémon Photo Masker

You see, Blastoise is called Kamex in Japan (カメックス) which one might confuse for camera (カメラ). So how do you preserve a pun like that in English?
Did he say "Masker"?

Translation complications like this can be pretty funny though.

At least they didn't turn Todd's head into a giant sandwich or a jelly-filled donut though... XD

This is kind of like the "Torchic, use AMBER!" -mushroom flies by- moment in Hoenn.

I think that was because the Japanese word for ember sounds like the Japanese word for "mushroom" so in the Japanese version, May got the words confused and a mushroom flew past.

0:07 Todd/Snap's eyes are black. 0:13 his eyes are blue. What a technical goof...

They did a pretty good job compared to some other times... But this really makes it look like Ash is retarded lol... how could you confuse master with masker.

[MewSoul]
