A player was not prepared for the ridiculous string of letters that makes up the French name for Golduck. The mobile game allows players to pull cards in different languages from friends and Wonder Picks, which shows the name, abilities, and skills of the Pokémon in that language.
A side effect of this is that more players are learning what various Pokémon are called in other languages.
Reddit user AWildModAppeared found a particularly amusing translation when they got a French Golduck card. "" says AWildModAppeared, sharing a picture of the card on Reddit.
Golduck's name in French, apparently, is the silly-looking Akwakwak. The wonderfully named Akwakwak is actually quite logical, as the evolution of the equally delightful Psykokwak (ie Psyduck).
It seems that instead of doing the «duck» route, the French version of the evolution line chose to name the Pokémon after the sound that ducks make in French, «kwak.» Ridiculously lucky images reveal that not all Pokémon TCG Pocket players are cursed to always flip tails when drawing Misty's trainer card.
