what happened in roughly 1870 though


why was there temporary internet


with a few people searching for pokemon?



It’s a search of Google books, but the question still stands, what the Fuck happened in 1870



I CAN ANSWER THIS!!


In the Cornish dialect of English, Pokemon meant ‘clumsy’ (pure coincidence).


In the mid 1800s 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.
