Spyke#

In the USA version, Spyke uses British Cockney slang, compared to the European version, which he uses plain slang instead.

Now who're you? Not to be harsh love, but you're lookin' right moldy at the moment.

...Who are you? Listen, not to be harsh or anything, but you're not looking too fresh right now.

I can't be dealin' wif blokes below Level 4 on the freshness scale.

I ain't in the habit of associating with folks who aren't at least Level 4 on the freshness scale, y'see?

So maybe go do a bit of battlin' before you come back, yeah?

So maybe you wanna go do a bit of battlin' before you come see me again.

Splatfests#

Most Splatfests have different themes between regions. Only three themes were shared between multiple regions: Cats vs. Dogs in both North America and Europe (not at the same time), Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Green/Blue (in all regions on the same weekend, although not at the same time), and the Miitomo-themed Fancy Party vs. Costume Party (in all regions simultaneously, across two days due to timezone differences).

Pokémon Red & Blue#

A Splatfest that will finally settle an old score!

A theme that will finally settle an old score!

Did you go for the cover with the hot Charizard?

Did you go for the cover with the cool Charizard?

Or did you realize that Blastoise is WAY cooler?

Or were you tempted by the mighty Blastoise?

I'm one fiery squidkid, so Charizard speaks to me.

I'm all about Fire types! So Charizard speaks to me.

You can pick Charmander as your starter in Blue too.

Charmander can be your starter in Blue, Callie.

But you can't get Vulpix in Red. That's what's up!

But you can't get Vulpix in Red. That's what matters!

You...can't...what? But I've spent YEARS searching!

You...can't...what? Years of searching, wasted!

Nope, you gotta trade with someone who has Blue.

You'll have to trade with someone who has Blue.

Nobody has Blue, Marie! It's the inferior version.

Nobody has Blue because Red is obviously cooler!

Sigh...this Splatfest is going to be trouble...

Oh boy...this battle's going to be a fierce one, isn't it?

And make it double!

I do. But now I'm not sure if you deserve my Vulpix.

We'll protect Inkopolis from devastation!

I hope we can protect the stages from devastation!

And unite all squids within our nation!

Or maybe it'll unite all squids within our nation?
