The Trendy Word Man

There is a character in HG/SS that I believe is new to the game.  He helps you ‘expand’ your in-game vocabulary by teaching you new, trendy words.  The guide describes him thusly:

“Inside the house on Route 16 is a man who’ll teach you tough words, like ‘neutrino’ and ‘stock prices’ that you can use to liven up chats and mail. talk to him every day to learn the latest trendy saying.”

So of course, I had to check it out.  Once I reached Route 16 in Kanto, I stopped by this man’s house, hoping for a cool new word to learn.  Guess what word he teaches me?

“Implants.”

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?
