Could somebody tell me what the Japanese text in the screengrab below says? Unfortunately, I only have a picture, not the text itself, and have insufficient knowledge of Japanese to accurately reproduce it as text.

I hope I am not asking a question that is inappropriate for this Stack Exchange. If I am, I apologise.

It says, ポケモンをねかしつけていません. – Zhen Lin Jan 16 '12 at 10:33

@Zhen Lin: Google Translate translates that as "Pokemon does not Nekashitsuke". This is not sufficiently well translated. – Hammerite Jan 16 '12 at 10:43
Where is the screengrab ... – fefe Jan 16 '12 at 11:08

You have to know about Pokemon to translate this one. It literally means something like 'You have not got Pokemon to go to sleep'.

I would have guessed "You don't have any Pokémon resting (here)," actually. – Zhen Lin Jan 16 '12 at 12:16
I don't know Pokemon, so I can only guess. But ねかしつける means 'to put to bed, put to sleep'. Because there is an を here, it means there is an unmentioned subject, but it would probably mean 'you' in the context. – Bathrobe Jan 17 '12 at 6:00
