A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8959745/I appreciate the points you raised in your review, and will now respond to such points as best I can:

Communicating with Pokemon: It is generally accepted that real communication with most pokemon (especially pokemon that can’t speak actual words besides their names) is rare, which is what I was trying to have Takamore be able to do, as in He is able to understand them. He can talk with them as opposed to play a game of charades and “What is it Lassie” with the characters, like what the characters of the manga have been known to do. Feel free to criticize, it’s your right, but there’s the reasoning for it.

Tak: That’s his nickname, and last I checked names aren’t always spelled how they sound. I just wanted to make sure readers knew how to pronounce it properly, its a personal thing.

Tak and Pokemon: Look at the first few episodes of Pokemon, Ash never put Pikachu in a pokeball as he rushed to a pokemon center. It’s a mentality thing, and I sign of attachment, caring. As for the whole ownership thing, Lucario and Mewtwo are two of many pokemon capable of speech, and they can be captured. That argument really doesn’t hold up very well anymore.

As for why he’s an Umbreon, that is a part of the story. I also never said specifically that Mew turned him into an Umbreon, which she didn’t. She just saved him. He could very well have changed into a pokemon before Mew even arrived.

Please, don’t take this as me being angry. I really do appreciate the review, and this is my response to said review. I will try and address these points in the next few chapters, so don’t rule them out :)

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8958571/I didn’t ‘just delete’ and repost. My story was banned due to me having an authors note. I got rid of the note, had to rearange my story to add a few things to replace the notes, then start all over. Since we’re on the level, and both of us aren’t stupid, I’m going to make the assumption that you were the one to get it taken down since I made a rather distasteful comment. As it stands, I’m doing nothing wrong or have anything now that could potentually ban me. You obvioulsy don’t like me; i’m not blind. How about this: I’ll be the bigger person and start first. *Clears throat* I’m sorry I’ve offended or insulted you. I’m not asking you to be my best friend or be on great terms, but I am asking you to please at LEAST be civil with me and I will do the same. I’m kindly asking you to not mess with my story. I respect the fact that you’re at least vocalizing your dislike for me. So how about? Can we be civil, please?

In addition to me asking for us to be civil, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to review. Negitive feedback is always welcome. If anything, it makes me work harder at making my stories better.

I’d like to thank you so much for your advice and adding me to your collection, it means a lot coming from someone like you.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8962329/Thanks for the review. I’ll take your advice into account, and yes I plan to do something with the section you pointed out.
I do have one question, could you please give me some examples of when I’m missing punctuation in the dialogue. It’d help a lot.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8961384/I’m fully aware that I tend to make those mistakes, but it’s not as if I’m a professional writer or even took classes on it, I got an average grade in my English class.

I just write the way I prefer to, like just using flat un-assuming words like ‘said’ while okay for the most part, overuse of the word grates on my nerves.

I apologize if you don’t like my style of writing, I’ll clean it up as best I can but at the end of the day It can’t really be helped considering I was never even taught what a semi-colon was in school.

I use capital letters for the Pokemon, because ‘Pokemon’ describes an entire species and capital letters for the start of their names because that is their actual names unless a trainer gives them a nickname. To Ash, his Pikachu is an individual and his closest companion, so his name is treated differently, just like lots of Pokemon because unlike what you said, they’re not just animals from this world with lower intelligence than we humans, Pokemon are complex and powerful beings.

I learned most of what I do in writing, from reading fanfiction and follows advice given to me.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8962298/Thanks for the tip it really helps when people give me there honest review and if you have any more advice i welcome it :)

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8962298/Also would it be to much to ask to edit my story so far if your are not to busy it would really help alot to make me a better writer and learn from my mistakes.

Sincerely Punkmiles

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8963576/Omg. Omg. Omg. Omg.
I never thought my literature had these many errors. I’m really starting regret this. I’m an engineering student. And OMG again. I didn’t realise that my English is so full of blunders.

Please I need you to beta read me. But besides that how was the story. Was the plot good. Is it interesting. Should I give up on this story?

Pls will you beta read me?

Dear Farla,
I want to thank you for you helpful review, the tips were great.
I would love it if you’d like to review my next chapter, it would really help me. :)
Thanks!

I honestly don’t understand where you’re coming from on my story that you’d classify me capitalizing every particular species of Pokemon in my story as a mistake. Look at Bulbapedia, look at any official media from Nintendo, look when Pokemon are mentioned in the game themselves- they are ALWAYS capitalized, this is consistent regardless of whether or not it’s “grammatically correct”. The fact that I did this consistently should have been a tip-off that I did this intentionally as an artistic choice, not just some unintentional writing slipup.Anyways, even if you didn’t care what Nintendo has done in the past, there is some real life justification for capitalizing each species. No, you don’t capitalize “mouse” or “dog” or “dragon”, but you DO capitalize specific species within each major category. Just look on Wikipedia articles for specific species of mice:

All of these are species are consistently capitalized in their articles because specific species are considered proper nouns. That’s why you capitalize Pikachu or Flareon or whatever, they’re not general categories of Pokemon but very specific species in the category.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8961418/Thanks for the review it means alot to me, but you could have reviewed the story itself and not just my punctuation. But still thank you for your support.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8954865/appreciate the criticism i promise to try harder in the next paragraph

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8965708/okay first this is going to be based off of the Pokemon Colosseum game. Second we understand what your saying but like we said in the end of the page me, and gamePsycho11 only own Ryan, jack, sally, and Sonia. As for Auramaster24 he only owns Joel Berlitz and the aura based abilities. And third we are not adding ourselves in the story we just wanted to make it more interesting but thanks for the helpful information we will make sure to remember that for the next pages. But next time you review please be nice we don’t like mean reviews.

Thanks for the review

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8965860/Well, after looking over my story, I realized something: seems like I shouldn’t be using the cut-n-paste option for submitting stories. Apparently, I’m missing large chunks of my story and hadn’t even noticed, resulting in…well, whatever the hell the story is without the chunks. Sorry you had to put yourself through that.

As for the definition of drabble, I just can’t win. I wrote stories fitting your definition, and promptly got angry PMs from people claiming that a drabble was a fic with no clear point in mind. I’ve even seen fics like this described as drabbles. Now, I’m not saying you’re wrong, because that’s what I thought drabbles were initially. So…not sure what to think.

Anyway, I think I’m going to take it down. It’s a piece of crap anyway, even with the missing parts added in. Thanks for the review; hope you don’t get too much trouble for your constructive reviews from the receivers.

By the way: from sister Merspirit is actually fine the way it is (grammatically correct), that’s one thing I’m positive of. “From his sister Merspirit” is the more common way to say it.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8965622/I’m really grateful for the feedback. I did make some changes based on it. I had actually looked it up to see if Oddish could learn posion sting, I guess I saw it was a poison type and just assumed. And you have a good point about him seeming like a total idiot. I actually thought I’d made him too smart for someone I was portraying as an idiot. But since he’s older, he should have more common sense. So I toned back the failures and I’m still working on making him as intelligent as he should be.

But again, thanks so much for the constructive criticism. Much better than the usual “you suck, but I’m not gonna say why” or the butt-kissing.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8959181/I didn’t think I’d actually see one of your reviews in person – not that I’d ever gone looking for them, I just didn’t know if I’d ever stumble across one randomly. You’re pretty infamous for being an ass in your reviews, but this doesn’t look too bad. Judging by what you’ve said in this review, you would HATE my story. I capitalize Pikachu even when there’s not a specific character named Pikachu, which there either is and isn’t. I also have author’s notes at the end of every chapter, and I don’t have great grammar. Lastly, the only chapter I have that is really ‘large’ is Chapter Four, the latest chapter.

Sorry about all that. I just figured that if you ever came across my story, I’d better beat you to the punch XD.

Why is your profile picture a baby… seal? I think it’s a seal. Why is it a seal?

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8962109/Seriously, DO you get off by flaming people?

Please stop being a psyco to my friend TheLegendaryKitty19, it’s really petty.”This is correct,” stated Envy. “This is incorrect.” she continuted. “However, it works when the next thing is another sentence.” She looked up from the iPhone she was typing her note to the online writer with the incorrect grammar on.

And you should spend some time on specifies.

Oh, just your last message. Thank you for assuring me that you are not just being rude and you actually know grammar, and thank you for your time.
