It's a preference. :P I believe it makes no sense to use capitals for pokemon because they are not proper nouns unless you literally have a flareon called Flareon. In which case the owner is clearly not very sensitive to individuality. xD But yeah, I don't do it because it makes no sense, and it's just a way for the company to make things they create look important. You don't capitalise animals, do you? Unless a dog is called Dog.
~GS.

I always do. Pokemon is a title, and you're supposed to capitalize a title. :P
I thought about the dog thing before, and I feel that yeah, true, but it just feels weird for me not to capitalize. DX

And don't they call their Pokemon by their name in the anime like, 98.08255735% of the time...? XD /stumped

Anyways, I'm free this weekend. c:

I'm free for an interview on Thursday and usually any Sunday. I'm on -8 Pacific time so I think organizing times is going to be weird... XD

Hence why I said I use a capital P when I talk about the fandom itself, like, the concept and the brand/idea thing, but not when I say "pokemon" as "animal," ya know, like in as story. It's "The flareon threw a bath mat at another pokemon" but it would be, "I enjoy the Sonic series, but I also love the Pokemon series." Get it?
It felt weird at first for me too, but now it seems silly to capitalise it for me. xD

That's what I think is stupid about the anime/games...they don't encourage you to name your pokemon. Whereas Neopets, for instance, makes you name your neopet, and all neopets have names. They're not called "Kacheek" and "Aisha," they have names. Flareon and pikachu and archeops--they're all species names, not name names. Dx But people don't see it that way, it seems. As encouraged by the anime/games.

Did you guys see the time zone converter I posted a link to in the second post? Dx You can use it to figure out your times.

Well it's not that weird. xD I have friends who are 18ish hours behind too. So it's all good. If I know what times you're available then it won't be too confusing.

I think one of the main reasons I don't give my Pokemon names is because they don't really encourage it. XD And I get it. :P

Btw, you capitalized Flareon. XD

Yeah, see...because I have character and write stories, and just because I think it's kind of cruel not to name them, I name them. I HATE in stories when a pokemon is just "Flareon" or "Pikachu" instead of having real names. >.< I mean, for trainer pokemon, okay, I get it, but NOT for stories where the pokemon are the main characters/focus.

Yes. Yes I did. Because it was at the START OF THE SENTENCE. B'

I see. I don't write stories so I guess I don't have to worry much about that. XD

Oh. XD Sorry! ^^;

Graceful_Suicune · #40 05-17-2012, 01:54 AM

Drat! Scizor got out of his pokeball, again. -_-;

"What would like to see in a Pokemon game?" "SCIZOR!"

Apparently at one stage he inhaled helium..

Forgive him, I'll try to keep him under control, next time. D:

Ant2011 · #42 05-17-2012, 02:59 AM

I just listened to it, I loved it! Thanks for letting us inside your brain Caleb!

Graceful_Suicune · #43 05-17-2012, 03:01 AM

XD Glad you liked it! And yes, his brain is quite interesting. And fun to play around with. >:3 I'll probably get yours up in a few days, Ant, to space things out. And...because...I'm slow at editing. xD
