Let the capitalization wars continue.

Yeah, I already got that. Sometimes I tend to forget that.
Most of the writers here do that, nobody really cares about it. Thanks for the tip anyway.
Well, I thought it might be fitting to the story… other people seemed to like it.
I’m not hurt by your review, like some people probably would be. You’ve been here for a very long time and I respect that. It’s only natural for me to have so many flaws in my story, because I’m fairly new(not even 2 months).
Have a nice day and a happy new year!

Though I appreciate the feed back I do want to point out Pokémon names are capitalized in the game, in the subtitles of the anime, and online. I do admit I need comas as well

I never said this was canon.

Thank you for your reviews. I appreciate the advice, on both chapters. I know not much happened in the first chapter, it was mainly just to show how he came to be in Sinnoh. In chapter two as I was writing I did feel as though I was being repetitive. But this is my first story I’ve ever written down. Others I have thought of, but never bothered to write them down. However, I promise that it will get more exciting as time goes, thanks to your advice and the plot i have laid out.
Thank you again for the advice.

Thank you for taking the time to look over the story, “Shadowed Path”.
To address your concerns, I would like to place this story in context.

1) This is a rather old story that I originally uploaded as one large chapter to a much larger story. It does not reflect my current writing style; for that, I would recommend looking at my other stories.

2) The above depictions of berries and experience points were ideas that I played with and discarded; compare with how game mechanics occur in Retriever of the Exile.

3) As for capitalization of Pokemon species, that’s based on personal preference. I originally tried not capitalizing the Pokemon species, and it bothered me until I changed them back.

4) “Shadowed Path” is not the primary story– it’s simply Insyte’s backstory. The full version can be found somewhere on my site.

Again, thank you for your critiques.

I just want to thank you so much for your review!I’m not the best at grammar so it’s great that people like you take the time to find faults so I can improve on them :) Just one question, I’m extremely new to this site and I don’t know how to edit my one shot to take your advice into action; would you mind telling me how? Another thanks for being so helpful ^-^

I am not looking to get into an argument with you. Perhaps I could rephrase?
I am improving with help from my english teachers and my good friend who is a writer. Right now I’m not looking for critique on my stories because most of them are in an editing process (Thus why I haven’t posted a story in a while)
I never said my story sucks. I quite like it, actually. I do not refuse to improve, I am improving with help outside of the internet. This story is for the pure enjoyment of anyone who happens upon it and decides to read it.

Thank you,

Attere

It’s a shame these aren’t public because then I can offer better explanation. This is the introduction, not the first chapter, if that helps as to why it’s so vague :) First chapter goes into much more detail about the world, plot etc.

Besides the mistakes that you have pointed out is there anything you liked in the story itself?

But made up stories can have different capitalized nouns. Consider the Erasers from Maximum ride. Those are capitalized and they are not proper nouns. It’s creative freedom. And reviews are not only just negative content and I don’t appreciate you correcting me on certain points that I know what I’m doing. Besides it’s my first chapter and story. You don’t honestly expect it to be picture perfect do you?

    ‘I do admit I need comas as well’. I read this literally for a second not realising it was a mistake in ‘comma’ and it confused me. :P

    ‘Besides it’s my first chapter and story. You don’t honestly expect it to be picture perfect do you?’ You don’t expect it to be perfect- but you do want to help those that have just begun so that they can get off to  a good start. :)

    I liked DarkUmbreon’s response. Friendly and mature. :)

    ‘ Well, I thought it might be fitting to the story… other people seemed to like it.’ Doesn’t mean everyone is going to like it, though. That’s the only thing with writing; whatever you choose to do, you can’t expect everybody to like it.

    Seems to be going good so far. :) It’s really put me in the mood for writing Pokemon stuff now, but I haven’t written anything I class as ‘worth posting’ yet. :P Are you having fun with the review month?

    1. Farla says:

      It’s been passable. Some of it’s good and some of the bad stuff is bad in fun ways.

      1. XStrawberryDuckFeathersX says:

        It’s always a lot more fun when it’s bad in a good way. Like when you get the angry author responses. :P

    At some point, people are going to realize that reviews are used for helping your story improve, not for heaping praise upon a story and nothing else. Hopefully if more people start reviewing they’ll realize that sooner.

    Also, thanks for putting my fic in your decent stories collection! Just out of curiosity, when you review a fic, do you review the chapters posted during the month? Or just the ones it has when you first reach it?

    1. Farla says:

      Just those it had at the time, I’m afraid. I can sort by publish date, or by update date and get everything updating no matter when it was published and drown under the wall of fic.

    2. XStrawberryDuckFeathersX says:

      That’s a brilliant point. :)

      It’s been a decade now from my end, and the mass-realization hasn’t happened. It won’t, that’s not how people (especially young writers) are. The best you can do is savor the moments when you do get through to someone (hi, guys!).
