When writing a rant/guide, is it okay for the writing to come off as informal, or is it recommended to write formally?

If there were a specific time for the next crossword, it would have been sometime prior to a decade after it started. :P I honestly don't know if/when I'll make a new crossword. I've got a lot of stuff to do.

Sibling sites are essentially affiliates that I have a bit more of a personal relationship with.

Is there a specific time for the next crossword to come out? Or do I have virtually infinite time to attempt it?

What´s a sibling site?

Super belated, but I'm so stoked about this update, and so pleased I was able to contribute!

Fixed the typo, thanks.

It has been like seventeen years since I wrote the R/S/E tips and tricks, but I would imagine I didn't pick out Meteor Falls because it's less accessible than Route 118, what with needing you to go through the cave and potentially get into other wild encounters on the way.

TACOCAT presumably just entered themselves into the Hall of Fame a lot of times for their own amusement.

The Pokétch would be "POKETCH" in the crossword.

The current crossword is from 2010, so no B2/W2.

Is the Irregular Crossword max updated at B2W2, or is it only up to BW?

[22/10/2020 14:41:19]

What if we need to add special characters into the irregular crossword? I suspect that the answer to one of the questions is "Pokétch." Should it be formatted as "Poketch," as "Pokétch," or as "Poktch?"

@Altissimo
Aren't you that person from PMD Speedruns who was making that ReA tool?

lol man I remember taking this waayyy back when before it was updated and back then I was pretty obsessed, nowadays I score so much lower though

[22/10/2020 06:25:30]

Why does the rulers of the universe section contain so many instances of "TACOCAT"?

[21/10/2020 22:25:10]

For your generation 3 effort values page, what makes Route 118 more preferable to farm Speed EV's than surfing in Meteor Falls (Back/B1F), if surfing in Meteor Falls (Back/B1F) gives a larger net speed EV yield (with golbats giving 2 speed EV's) and that all Pokémon that give Speed EV's in Meteor Falls give the same amount of Speed EV's, then what makes Route 118 more preferable?

Minor nitpick, but
in the Stat Stages page, it says

The moves Metal Claw (10%), Meteor Mash (20%) and Power-Up Punch (100%) have the indicated chance of raising the user's Attack by one stage as a secondary effect.

and also

The moves Charge Beam (70%) and Fiery Dance (50%) have the indicated chances of raising the user's Special Attack by one stage as a secondary effect.

One uses "chance" while the other uses "chances"

The "And no one else" just means "That's the end of the list"! Not that there won't be more people on it.

Verb inflections are different forms of verbs - in English, you've got the past and present tense (e.g. "is" vs. "was", "catch" vs. "caught", "play" vs. "played") as well as the present continuous ("being", "catching", "playing") and past participle (which often looks the same as the past, but not always, as with "been"). In Icelandic we've got some more forms like that.

I'm not sure what you mean about wanting to know how the experimental style functions - I just combined present-tense lines with past-tense lines in an unusual way, on a whim.

The Icelandic national anthem is hard to sing because it has a wide range - you need a significant vocal range to reach both the highest notes and the lowest.

The spam prevention Pokémon are currently only gen 1-7, but I'll probably swap them out when I get around to it.

The parodies page is one of many pages that were taken off the menu at one point or another because I just didn't think it was a great page anymore. There are a lot of pages I originally put up when I was about thirteen years old, and as my taste evolves over time, some pages I just get ehhh about.

Why isn't the Parodies page linked under the humour tab?

[21/10/2020 10:40:46]

15

Just curious, are there gen 8 'mons on the spammifier, or is it just to gen 7?

In response to your response, I found that the game really picked up after the main story ended, with an interesting post-story and the levelresets.

Why does the Hall of Fame section for the "Rulers of the Universe" end in "And no one else?"
It appears like the page is still updating, as I watched the Marquee of Death and was able to get my name onto the list using the error report mechanism.
On that tangent, I found the Marquee of Death to be quite interesting and entertaining. However, I would like to know more about what verb inflections are and how they work.
I'd also like to learn a little more about the experimental style in the excerpt with the past and present tenses and how that function?
What exactly makes the Icelandic National Anthem hard to sing?
THank you

Don't worry, you were very civil and not at all offensive!

Unfortunately it's a bit hard for me to answer questions about a game that I played literally more than a decade ago; I simply don't remember exactly why I made individual choices about moves or exactly how I felt about specific individual dungeons in 2008.

I can tell you I pretty much only played through the main story - I don't think I ever did the level-reset dungeons. I also know I was not a fan of the belly system, since it adds another RNG element to whether you can make it through the dungeon.

Thanks for your thoughts!

As for whether to be specific in your guide: it's going to depend a bit on what your guide is about - if the exact stats of these Pokémon aren't particularly relevant to the purpose of your guide, it's fine to leave them out, especially if you also link to resources with exact numbers. The main point of the advice to be specific is that if you're vague about the subject of what you're talking about, it makes it less useful; if it's not a guide on stats, then you don't necessarily need to be specific about stats. I'm not 100% sure what the guide you're describing is about but it doesn't sound like the point of it is to be about what these Pokémon's stats are, so it should be fine to talk about that in more general terms.
