>Now, the usage in lyrics doesn't have a grammatical meaning at all but just a temporal one.
Cool, but I already said it
>although I'm betting my coins that in this case is to differentiate song parts in karaoke or something.
>In proper Japanese literature spaces aren't needed because of the frequency of Kanji: There is probably a short pause between a Kana and a following Kanji.
That's why I said it happens mostly when it's a full-kana text, here
>Spaces do exist in japanese, more so if it's all-kana, to differentiate between words.
The only correction I'd make is "To know when a word (with a particle [if there's any] included) ends and another one starts" instead of "differentiate between words", if that fits your fancy.
Either way, yeah, it's clear that spaces aren't a thing in proper writing, and in my opinion it's better if people learning japanese never try using them. Because jap kids read kana books since they know the language, even when they don't know how to write it. However, although baka gaikokujin-kun may know how to read kana there's no meaning if he doesn't know vocabulary and grammar. You may as well spend your time learning basic kanji along with words and grinding with rikaichan and a guide instead.
Also, I don't know about the newer pokémon games, but the older ones were kana-only because the grand text processing that Full Japanese requires would have consumed all the resources of the hardware. They may still be following that trend to go along with the nostalgia feeling for all we know.
Same with other Famicom games.
