And also literature, because I don't see why literature studies shouldn't exist in the world of Pokémon, although obviously literary classics won't be quite as we know them. Romeo has a Luvdisc! Iago has a Banette!

But Hats, as language has changed over time don't you think Pokemon would have been slightly different in the Shakespearean world? At the very least they would have different names. I can't see Shakespeare using names based on Anglicised Japanese words.
