Pokemon XY. Welp, time to catch them all.

The only way to log out is to beat the game. And if you die in the game you die for real.

I really appreciate all the explanations you post about Japanese grammar, they're all very helpful! I have a question about how to say "I can't stand it anymore" like you posted recently. You mentioned たまらない and I'm wondering how that compares to 我慢できない because they seem very similar to me? Thank you so much!

Well, when you look たまらない up in a Japanese dictionary, one of the definitions is 我慢できない (and vice versa), so there IS a lot of overlap between them!

我慢する basically means “put up with” or “resist doing something” so when you say 我慢できない it implies that you’ve been actively resisting the urge to do something, but you can’t resist any more and you’re going to go do the thing now. I feel like it has a broader meaning than たまらない? Like you can use it with emotions or purely physical urges (”I can’t stand it, I have to pee RIGHT NOW”) where たまらない tends to be more about emotions and subjective feelings.

たまらない is from the verb たまる, which means “build up” or “collect” like water behind a dam or something. So the literal meaning is more like “I can’t hold [these emotions] in.” It’s less about how you’ve reached a breaking point and can’t resist anymore, and more about how you’re at the mercy of all these strong thoughts and feelings.

Again, the difference in meaning is really subtle with a lot of overlap. They ARE pretty different in the way they’re used grammatically, though:

我慢できない is an independent verb that can be used in a lot of situations, and たまらない is mostly just after the て form of other verbs (though you CAN use it as a whole sentence all by itself, where it usually means “I’m so happy/excited I can’t stand it”).

Also, たまらない is just used to say you CAN’T stand something–you won’t really see a たまる meaning “yeah, I can put up with this, everything’s fine.” But depending on whether you negate the verb or not, 我慢 can be used that way: トイレを我慢する “to hold it” (=resist going to the bathroom)

I apologise that my Pokemon obsession has come to this blog. I forgot to switch it to my main blog.

And maybe that's why the onion cat doesn't like humans and Magiana. O:

-Magiana looks like a pokeball

-Magiana was built by a human long ago

-Magiana holds a secret

Calling it now, the creator of Magiana is also the inventor of the Pokeball. She probably holds the secret of how pokeballs work or something.

It'd be weird if it were a guy. With the way the body is formed is similar to a woman's. The eyes are big and rounded like how most girls are depicted in anime, not to forget the four eyelashes it has. It's very feminine like. Though, I'm thinking it's a legendary so it wouldn't get a gender. Then it's up to the person to choose which they prefer or just to call Magiana an it. Like with all Pokemon.

Why is everyone assuming the new pokemon magiana is female? its gender’s not confirmed yet. Men can wear dresses too ya know!
