Ok, let me start off with the basics…
Your review was way too long, especially for something just criticizing the most basic part of the story, the writing format. I mean no offense when I say this, but when people call someone a Grammar Nazi, they are talking about people who do stuff like that. Once again, no offense intended.My writing style is just that. MY writing style. This is, in my opinion, a more comfortable and easy to read format for a story, over the format you gave me which I can find in my syllabus for English 101 in the section for Academic Papers.As for the complaints on capitalization, they are the same deal, the way I feel they should be formatted for MY story. Pokemon, Pikachu, etc, they are all specific names. They are the names of one select species created by GameFreak. Whenever I see someone write it in as “pikachu” or “pokemon,” all I see it as is a typo. As for about the terms Trainer and Professor, they’re titles. Professions, if you will.
And about being listed under the anime category… Don’t you think I checked? Pokemon is only under the Games category, and does not appear in the Anime/Manga category. I even took a screenshot to prove it: ht tp: // imgu r.c om/ a/Cm cG R I assume you know to take the spaces out to view a link outside of , should you wish to pursue it.

[I mean no offense when I say this, but when people call someone a Grammar Nazi, they are talking about people who do stuff like that.]
If you’re calling someone a Nazi, you are absolutely intending offense, and you know it. Please don’t insult me with false courtesy.
[My writing style is just that. MY writing style.]
Great, but that’s not what I was criticizing. Grammar is not a style. Grammar is an objective standard of communication that is required for language to be comprehensible.
[As for about the terms Trainer and Professor, they’re titles. Professions, if you will.]

heroes1202A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12229379/While I appreciate all of this, I would’ve liked a SHORTER review that should’ve ended about me changing the fan fiction title. Otherwise, I would see this as all but pointless and too much to read. I care more about the reader’s opinion on the story, NOT the grammar errors I may make. So is it possible you can shorten your review or delete this one and write it shorter?

Why? Clear grammar is very important to any story.
pokefan3107A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12231183/Thanks for the review. Are you a beta reader? Can you please guide me on my dialogues and grammar because I am not very good in English.
Directed them to the beta thread.

1) I will get the names aspect sorted out as soon as I can.
2) How I write my stories is up to me. Unless it is against the guidelines, what I put is not dictated by you or anyone else. If you do not like the way I do things, do not read my stories.
3) Again, I will remedy this when I can. Although I find things like this difficult as English is not my first language. While I was born and I currently live in the UK, I was raised in Spain and, as such, English is my second language.
4) Refer to as above.
5) Refer to as above
6) I will put it in that category when I have the time.Thanks for bringing this up.
DreamCrawlerA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12231883/Thank you for the constructive criticism and corrections. I also have a request. I’m actually in dire need of a beta reader for quite some time now. If you’re willing to help then I’d really appreciate that. But if not, I’d happy if you redirected me to someone else.
DreamCrawlerA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12231883/Oh and an added note, I intentionally made the summary vague because I read an article that spoilery summaries drive away readers so…
Whoever told you that was wrong. There are literally thousands of stories on this site with very similar-sounding summaries; if you want attention, you need to show how your story stands out. What’s unique about it? What are its themes? Why should people be interested in it? You can reveal those without spoiling the entire plot.WaleluA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12232984/About my dialogue formatting; yes, I did know they are considered a part of the same sentence. No I did not realize I made a few mistakes with that, I’m going to go over it again, but I’m sorry to say that though I understood your entire lesson, and thank you for it because a few things that were fuzzy, I got really confused. That was fixed after a second read though. Maybe it’s because I just woke up XD. Also I did check, and from my standpoint, this story is under manga. Category:pokemon, world:manga. I dunno, I could check again.Thank you for your review, it was good insight to have. And it annoys me too when people capitalize pokeball. :)
Tyty2030A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12233384/
Jesus Christ. What the hell. Why are you so rough? What the fuck. Also, not capitalizing would make sense for regular grammar, but it doesn’t make sense to not capitalize them. So please fuck off.
Tyty2030A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12233384/
Also, in games, when it says, ‘A wild ____ appeared!’ That’s should be a common noun. But guess what? The Pokemon’s name is CAPITALIZED.
secs agohttps://www.fanfiction.net/topic/11834/55376155/1/Capitalization-Thread
“No matter how far away things are, a Pilot’s eyes can see them!” The games do not model correct capitalization in other respects either. Go look up the actual grammar rules for capitalizing “professor”. Notice how the games spit upon that. Then go look at how the games started off writing it PIKACHU and POTION, so no, the games don’t even consistently do it your way.
The games also gave us the hideous “Legendary Dragon-type Pokemon” construction, either because treating all these words as trademarks in-universe means they can’t use plural forms so “Legendary Dragons” was out, or because they simply hate decent writing just that much.
Yes, games don’t do it consistently MY WAY. So please let me write, because capitalizing Pokémon species differs on opinion.https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/11834/55376155/1/Capitalization-Thread
TheGutsyWolfA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12233358/Ok, thank you for your criticism I appreciate it as I am just getting into writing storeys and posting them and tend to trip up every now and again when writing I will remove the key. Also, my spell checker keeps capitalising words and I am working to fix that, also sorry about the summary I plan on writing a better one as the one I have currently got isn’t the best.As for beta readers, I am currently trying to find one but my schedule at the moment is making it rather difficult.As for the commas is it just the summary that you don’t like (which I can see your point it does suck.) or the whole fic in general?
Also, thank you for the tip about sound effects I wasn’t quite sure on how to start the fic with the alarm clock.
MossDeepThinkerA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12232523/
Thanks for the feedback!
Yup, I moved the fic to the anime section. Hadn’t ever thought about that.About capitalization of Pokemon and the thread you linked to… I think I’m on the side of yiranY, though I’m nowhere near as passionate. I’d like to think I’m not being ignorant; I understand everyone’s views on this. I simply do what I feel comfortable doing. It doesn’t affect the quality of the story. My way seems to be the ‘canon’ way, so I’m going to stick with that for the moment. I might change in the future, I might not.
ChloboShokaA response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12233085/I’ve been told I have to capitalise Pokémon at all times. The fic takes place straight after May’s Justice. Another fic that you reviewed and has been updated a lot since you last had a look at it.Thanks for your reviews.

i dont have non story chapters
Your first “chapter” is nothing but a speech key and a list of character ages. That is not story content.and I don’t care
I checked, and Pokemon really isn’t listed under anime. I have no idea why, but it’s not.
Yes, FFN isn’t well-equipped to deal with multimedia franchises. Their band-aid for it was the Worlds feature, but no one seems to use it, which is why I’m trying to infodump about it everywhere. Most people do actually fix it after I tell them.
