Hm... I was just reading Harkos' past posts, and I figured I sure missed out on a lot! I normally just skim the subscriptions I have, comment on anyone in serious need for it... and that's about it. After all, there are loads of subscriptions... and even more people that are subscribed to me. I don't know why people subscribe to me when they don't post, don't want to be part of the Pokemon Army (or don't express the wish to), and likely don't even read these posts.
Anyway, I figured that I should really start using proper grammar on all my posts, including the comments, since I find that much more convenient... *do I sound a little weird? I think so...* I'll just try. Proper grammar is what the teachers accept, after all. If you were a teacher, would you want to accept an essay written in "short-hand", as I call it?
Well... this has absolulety nothing to do with Pokemon. I'm just ranting on my thoughts, though it's organized enough to not be a big fat long rant, like I see on some people's Xangas (that wasn't supposed to be offensive, though I'm sorry if you took offense at that). Who likes to read big paragraphs? Especially if they're in short-hand? Sure, if you're literate in short-hand, go ahead, but I find it rather hard to keep focused on such post, especially since people use different methods of short-hand, and some I don't even know. Like "lmao". I didn't even know what that meant until one of my friends told me, and then I got it. Sort of. People use it in places that don't even make sense! Like: "lmao lmao! I was so happy!".
Oh, and while I'm talking about language, I would like to remind you all to keep cussing on this site down to a minimum. There are younger audiences that may view this site, including those younger than 13 (since you obviously don't have to be 13+ in order to view Xangas), and I would like to keep things appropriate. Also, if you decide to swear at me, please make sure that my trainer doesn't personally know you, or have the means to get anywhere near you, as you may end up in various stages of hurting. Don't say I didn't warn you.
For those wondering what Netbattle is, it's a... thing you can download from www.tvsian.com that allows you to make your own Pokemon team, then challenge other people in various forums to matches. The up side is that you can also chat, and the people are actually real. It also helps you to understand Pokemon attacks, advantages, disadvantages, and all those good things you need to know about battle. Downside: uh... none? Depends on how you see it. You can't use other items in battle besides the item attached to your Pokemon, that's all. If you have space on your computer, time to spare, and want Netbattle, I sorely advise you to get it. I'm not on regularly, but if I am, my username *at the moment* is Korrishya.
That was a long post for me.
Tutorials for Netbattle can be found on www.tvsian.com, and pages such as http://www.tvsian.com/netbattle/part_1.htm. Some aspects of Netbattle also involve choosing your Pokemon's attacks.
