Thank you for informing me. I have no beta reader as many just plain suck. I
do rush things and recently found out my grammar is terrible. I never write
out the author notes or anything when I write the stories in word, so that is
purely me (don't know if that is spelled correctly)and my spelling is terrible
as well. Go figure. I will go change that. I knew I capitalized 'please' as I
wanted to put emphasis on it. And I hate spelling out numbers. Always have.
Did you like the story at all?

Thank you very much for the constructive criticism. I was actually thinking
about how to write it as I typed this up, and I wasn't quite sure. I'm about
to post a second version of the first chapter (to replace it), and I hope I
managed to nip most of the mistakes in the butt. I will try to write with the
correct grammar now that I know what to do, and please let me know if you see
anything else.
Thank you very much for helping me!

This is the most useful thing anyone has ever told me on this site, ever.
English is not my native language, so it's really difficult for me to know
these kinds of rules concerning writing, as they're really different from the
ones in my mother tongue. So thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. From now
on, I hope I won't make mistakes in this regard.

Title: Injuries to Head and Heart

Thank you for your criticism. The only part I disagree with is the bit about
capitalisation, reprinted here for your convenience;
"You wouldn't capitalize animal or mouse or dragon, so you shouldn't
capitalize words like pokemon or pikachu or charizard. The only time you
should capitalize it is if you're using it as the pokemon's name, ie, Ash's
pikachu is called Pikachu. This is because you only capitalize when it's a
proper noun, which are the names of places or things. Similar reasoning should
be applied to any other words you're thinking of capitalizing, like telephone
or trainer. Or professor." I'm sure you've read many Pokemon stories, and in
most, I'd say, people capitalise Garchomp or Pikachu when referring to the
species as well as an individual; indeed, it seems to be the accepted way of
doing things. In addition to this, here are some Copied and Pasted quotes from
Nintendo's official website.
"...the best Pokémon Trainer that Hoenn has ever seen. Before you begin your
quest, you're given one of three new Pokémon to start you off. You can choose
from Treecko, a Grass-type, Torchic, a Fire-type, and Mudkip, a Water-type
Pokémon."
Here you can see that not only is Trainer given a capital T, but also the
names of the different Pokemon are given capitals.
"...team up with a partner Pokémon."
Here the word Pokemon (with a capital P) is used to refer to a member of the
species rather than the brand name.
"...great Pokémon master Professor Oak."
Here is evidence of Professor being given a capital P when used as part of a
name. And finally...
"For instance, a captured Caterpie will evolve into a Metapod, which will then
turn into a Butterfree."
Note the use of 'a Caterpie' (with capital C) rather than just 'Caterpie'.
In conclusion, it seems as though either you or Nintendo are incorrect in
regard to grammar.

Subject: Review to Platinum Heart
Okay... First, I am thankful for your criticism. But please let me write as I
like, I'm used to capitalizing stuff like Pokémon or a Pokémon's name.
...See? I capitalized it again.
And I rewrite the opening for a reason, which will be shown later in Chapter
3. If I'd start with the point where it differs from the game, no one would
understand it, because the first time I plan to make it diferent will be
obvious - meaning; the difference will be almost like night and day.
So, please be a little patient, I just loaded it up yesterday.
Again, thanks for your review, I really do appreciate it.

Okay, thanks for your review! So that's the thing with the speech... thanks
for that, because I always get confused with it, and just do the things you
said not too. And with this 'its' and 'it's', when Brock said 'it's okay Ash',
isn't it 'it IS okay Ash' so I can make it into 'it's'? I dunno, you seem to
know way more than me. And with the speech thing, my friend actually wrote the
fic first, and all I did was clean it up. It was really just meant for
entertainment, so she didn't really bother with all the narrative. If it was
meant for more serious purposes, then there would be a lot more description.
Other than that, another THANK YOU for the review!!

Listen, I realize "The Best" may not have been my best piece of writing, but
it was my first, and i thought it was pretty goo. Leaving comments is meant
for writers to help oth writers, not to make them feel like crap. P.s. you
had no reason to cuss me out, I'm twelve years old! If you use half the time
you spend writing comments like that then mayber YOUR writing would be decent.

I actually don't have a problem with this, in a general sense. There's certain instances where italics are too much emphasis, and capitalization can emphasize just enough to effectively communicate the tone of something. One of the issues with capitalizing pokemon names is that it adds weird mid-sentence emphasis to random words.
That said, though, I doubt the author was going after some experimental writing technique. xP
