I have just noticed that a few conventions listed here are not actually correct. Under Nouns, capitalization and specific terminology, it lists Poké'''G'''ear as a camel case example, which is incorrect; it should be Poké'''g'''ear. On the Bulbapedia MOS, it was changed to PokéNav after being revealed to be all lowercase. | |||
Also, in the same section, it tells readers that "Specific element types are called "Water-type" and "Rock-type" when used as nouns" which is completely incorrect—as nouns they are "the Water type" and "the Rock type", or "Water-type Pokémon" and "Rock-type Pokémon". It also tells readers that "Squirtle is a '''Water type''' is not correct", which is true, but it then goes on to tell readers that "Squirtle is a '''Water-type''' is", which is false. The correct statement is "Squirtle is a '''Water-type Pokémon'''". Hyphenated types are only adjectives, not nouns. Saying the suggested statement is just as ridiculous as saying "Squirtle is a courageous". [http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c257/johans_nene/Nintendo/pokemon/screenshots/BIRD-WATERtype.png Here] is a good example of both uses in the same text, out of a Pokémon game. | |||
Finally, under Spelling and capitalization, it uses "trainer Ash Ketchum" as an example, when the correct capitalization would be "Trainer Ash Ketchum", because Trainer is always capitalized when referring to a Pokémon Trainer. As a side note, it would be good if a note was added that Trainer is always capitalized when referring to a Pokémon Trainer, and that Shiny is always capitalized when referring to Shiny Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
