IT, YOU JUST SPEND AN HOUR TYPING UP LITTLE MISKATES! KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!

Thanks for your review for my fanfic. I'm sure that it'll help me improve any
future things that I have planned.

Well, tell me: have you ever played Black or White? Because when you have a
random encounter, the game text usually says "A wild Patrat appeared!" rather
than "A wild patrat appeared!" I realize that may not be the most
grammatically correct way of putting it, but you know what? That's how things
are written in the games, so I use Trainer instead of trainer because it's
easier for me in some mixed-up way. Besides which, I didn't make references to
any Pokemon in a generic sort of way, with the possible exception of the
Plasma member's Krookodile, so I don't lose any sleep over it.
Looking back, Snivy's insults are a tad extreme, but at the time, I wanted to
establish her feelings for Oshawott without her actually saying she had them.
I could change it if it really bothers people, but I don't see anything wrong
with it as is.
I will freely admit that I suck at ensemble casts. I didn't really do much to
characterize, say, Swadloon or Roggenrola, but I like to think I gave some of
them a sort of characteristic, such as Palpitoad being a cocky jerk.
But to your credit, this review really kicked my ass. I don't really get that
with my Fairy Tail work, so props to you.

Dear Farla,
Thank you very much for your review first of all, it's always nice to recieve
them!
Secondly, about what your review said.
I understand the second paragraph you wrote, (sort of) and I agree that maybe
I need to improve my grammar and punctuation, but I am in school still, I am
going to make mistakes all of the time. And I reckon there are quite a few
people's work who mine might beat in the punctual issues area, etc etc. There
are many people whose grammar is worse off than mine.
The part about said, I know maybe I shouldn't use the same words such as
hollered or yelled, maybe I can change it in the future?
The first paragraph, I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to capitalise
POKe'MON names. But surely POKe'MON are nouns because they are all called by
their names or the fact that they belong to the PKMN company should allow me
to give them capital letters. Also, it just seems and feels a little more
professional that way.
Thanks also for clearing up the 'it's' and 'its' for me. I am bound to make
mistakes as is every good writer, and it is just about learning these things
as you go I guess.
However, I do not feel the first chapter was 'filler' in any shape or form, it
helps build the story up if I begin it at Ash's House. I know the reader
doesn't have to know everything about before the story started but I felt it
necessary to explain why Misty was travelling with the group again. I am sorry
if you do not like it but that is my way of writing.
Also, the first chapter was enjoyable to write, and it is, in a context, "The
calm before the storm." The storm being the spooky occurences later on...
I hope you continue to read on, but if you decide not to, that is entirely
your own choice.
I just want to say that writing fanfiction is a hobby of mine which I do for
fun, so what if there are a few errors? A good story should draw away those
facts with its contents surely? Anyway, is there anything so far you have
LIKED about my story? Because it would be great, since you have let me in on
what grammatical errors I have made, if you could tell me what you did like so
I can incorporate it into my next piece of writing.
Thanks again for taking time to read and review! I hope you enjoy the rest of
the story!
Yours sincerely,
-AAML:)

Honesty, I would thank you for your critique on my grammar skills (i know they need some work), but seriously if you're going to give helpful critique it's usually not a great idea to start bashing on people's ideas right form the getgo.
The way to write an actually helpful critique is to POLITELY point out mistakes. Really I don't care if you think John couldn't do what I wrote him doing, hell I don't think he could do what I wrote him doing. I wrote it because I wanted it written and if you don't like it then going around posting comments that have no clear purpose but to make people upset is no way to make yourself friends on the internet. Your bravado does not impress me.
