I have a living pokedex in Y (718 in PC, one of each). I thought I knew my pokemon. This one is called Avalugg, not Crebase. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1puw4bgdtw3hyye/Screenshot%202014-... Using the americanized Japanese names is not right. Either use the native Japanese names in the correct alphabet, or use the English translated names.

Romanized would be a better description than americanized. Rōmaji is not just about America.

What's with the hashtag?

Maybe they are implying that "big data" is trendy at the moment? As far as I've seen on HN over the last year or so, lots of people are talking about what is and what is not big data.

Or the company who made the post uses #bigdata on twitter. In case you missed the "if you got 100% send us your resume" on the last page.

Eh, still chuckled.

Consider the accent affected by #BigDataBorat...
