Playing old Pokémon games or even the recent Paper Mario TTYD with low amounts of kanji makes it so damn hard to read. I’m jealous of the Japanese kids that can read this stuff quickly. I have to do a double take so many times when reading the dialogue. It ain’t just me right???

もし日本語がひらがなとカタカナだけだったら、マジで地獄ですよ。ありがとう中国、漢字を発明してくれて🙏
