Disclaimer: Pokemon does not belong to me in any ways at all.

Common spelling error number 1.

'Electabuzz' and 'Electrabuzz'. Sounds the same? Looks the same? Well, they are different. One of the spelling you can find in the Pokedex, whereas the other can never be found (be it in the English dictionary or the Pokedex). So please get it correct.

'Electabuzz' is the correct spelling.

Common spelling error number 2.

'Gyarados' is one of the most popular pokemon. Hence, you can see it popping around frequently. However, there are some who tend to miss out the first 'a', making it 'Gyrados'. Those are not really noticeable, but there are others who will go so far as to spell it as 'Gyarardos', 'Gyriados' or some other absurd things.

So, let's get it right once and for all, 'Gyarados'.

Common spelling error number 3.

The last spelling error that I will be touching on will be the pre-evolution of one of the most popular pokemon too. After all, Gengar is a pretty good Ghost-Poison type pokemon. So, you will find certain characters in a story catching a 'Gastly'. Or perhaps, a 'Ghastly'?

Well, let's clear up the misunderstanding now. It is 'Gastly', despite the fact that certain people find it ghastly-looking (I think it looks pretty cute though).

Issues about legendaries part 2.

Well, it appears that I was too quick to judge about the subject concerning legendaries.

After receiving a review which has kindly pointed out that legendaries need not necessary need to be one in the whole wide world (evidence: Lugia and baby Lugia existing together and numerous Shaymin in the 11th movie), I am forced to revise my statement.

Thus, the conclusion that I have reached is that more than one legendary of a certain species can exist. However, I still firmly stick with my previous idea of how different species of legendaries, or any pokemon for that matter, should not cross breed and procreate. It still remains as something that my brain refuses to recognize as 'plausible'.

And yes, I do know that the game allows you to cross-breed pokemon. However, even the game does not allow you to breed legendaries.

Use of dividers.

Please use it. It can be any divider you want, from the 'xxxxx's to the divider that Fanfiction provides us with, but please, for goodness sake, do use it.

It makes the story look tidier, neater and it is good to separate the real story from the disclaimer. After all, some people do not want to read the disclaimers and will want to skip to the story. Hence, use it.

I assure you that it will improve your quality of work, and that should be something all authors/authoresses should want (no matter how tiny the margin of improvement might be).

Certain things that have been bothering me (nothing to do with pokemon)

Firstly, it is the increasing number of 'flames' review that people have been receiving online (by anonymous reviewers mostly). Why do people always reveal their uglier side when they know that they would not need to face the consequences?

Some of the reviews that I have seen are so degrading and demeaning, that you would wonder: Have they even heard of Netiquette?

I know, the person's story might not be polished, might not be perfect and might be rife with grammatical and spelling errors. However, do you really feel the need to scream absurd rubbish at the poor authors/authoresses? In fact, I really think it is extremely offensive to make judgments on the authors'/authoresses' children, parents or whatsoever simply because of a bad piece of work.

What you should really be doing is to offer constructive critiques. Point out the errors, remain polite and soften the blow with a few praises. Even one line of positive comment can lighten the overall tone of the whole review, you know.

After all, what with the recent economic crisis and pandemic influenza, I assure you that no writers would require an extra dosage of venom handed out by an anonymous reviewer.
