A stick for making yourself look completely ridiculous in public. Psyduck seem to like it.

'Psyduck' can be both singular as plural, so 'Psyduck seem' is correct (:

[Also, mistakes on the wiki should be reported in the thread about the wiki in Bug/Complaints]

This is the only one I have seen on sight until now

You have already interacted with Vileplume today!

It's important for Pokémon to be in contact with as much people as possible, to collect a wide variety of experiences.
Come back tomorrow again!

Should it not be as many people not as much people?

Quote from latest postBrave speleologist of Emera Town have explored

i think it should say A brave speleologist ... has explored if its a singular speleologist or Brave speleologists ... have explored if multiple speleologists explored :)

Hint: You shouldn't set the price per piece much higher than the recommended price. Remember that other gardeneres always pick the cheapest price first.

It should be gardeners, not gardeneres... :)

Also this spelling mistake was found whenever you open the ¨add item¨ to the berry booth.

Not sure if this goes here

pretty sure GEM and EXCHANGE go separated


I think these icons have wrong names

These are called Ultra balls when they are obiously super balls

These are called Hyper balls when they are obviously Ultra Balls

In the lab:

Oh lord, it's hailing!
Normally I visit the Emera Mall every Wednesday to get some food and necessary items from the stores. But this horrible weather makes it currently impossible to go out!
I hope it will be sunny again soon. Take care of you when you go outside.

You should be 'yourself'

When you get the purple harvest sprite from a box it says
Uff, boo, nargh! You finally found me!

... It feels like I was hidden in this box forever! Thanks for finding me.
Please take this gift as a very special help for my lifesaving me!


It would make more sense to be written like this:
Please take this egg as a special gift for saving my life!

When you give a fish to Leah (1 Magikarp this time so singular) one pharse she says is:

The fish look so cute!

It should be:
The fish looks so cute!

In Professor Rowan's lab;

'Aaah, today is gonna be a good day, I can feel it! It's not too hot outside - not too cold; I had a delicious meal of scrambled eggs for breaksfast; and an old friend of mine is paying me a visit today! I haven't seen George in such a long time now. We used to be young trainers exploring the world, just like you. Well, almost like you. I mean, you're never even leaving town. That's hardly the same adventurous spirit that my old buddy and me shared.
But anyway! Hope you have a nice day as well. See ya!'


The 'breaksfast' should say 'breakfast', and should only have a comma after it, not a semi colon - or it could have nothing after it, because generally and doesn't follow a semi colon. In the English language, a semicolon is most commonly used to link two independent clauses that are closely related in thought [source: Wikipedia]. For an independent clause, you would need two separate phrases, but and cannot be the beginning of a phrase because it links two separate things, so for the sentence to be grammatically correct the semicolon would need to be removed.

The 'you're never even leaving town' makes sense, but it sounds a little creepy; if you read it without the apostrophe, it would say 'you are never even leaving town', which makes Rowan look a little evil.. Not suggesting anything, of course.
This sentence could work, but it would make more sense if it was something like 'you never even leave town.'

The semicolon is correct. It's also used when listing things, with each item being multiple words [aka a complex list]. In such cases, a semicolon before 'and' is acceptable (and even expected)

Ah, my bad, sorry. I thought that when used in a list 'and' wasn't needed alongside a semicolon, but thank you for correcting me.
For conformation, in the sentence 'Inside the shop I found several ripe, rosy apples; fresh-baked bread of fine quality; large plastic bottles of sparkling water; and putrid spoilt milk', would it not be preferable to remove the semicolon, because if you were to say it aloud, there would be an unnatural pause before the and? I would've thought that if you were to remove the semicolon the sentence would flow more naturally.
Sorry for pestering you, I'm just curious ^^ '.

Actually, leaving out the semicolon would have the same effect as leaving out a comma in a "normal list"

[We interviewed the director, Ghandi, and his wife vs. we interviewed the director, Ghandi and his wife]

If you leave out the semicolon, [large plastic bottles of sparkling water and putrid spoilt milk] it implies that the putrid spoilt milk is also in large plastic bottles, while in the original it's only the water that's in those bottles. In the past, this was referred to as an "Oxford comma", but [in listing specifically] having a comma before "and" takes away the chance of misinforming or putting two separate items together as if they're one item.

When releasing a Pokemon, the warning text you get is outdated, saying you can't get the released Pokemon back. This is not the case anymore with the introduction of the recovery tool.


At the item shop:
"Our daily offers contain greatly reduced items due to overproduction. Be fast enough to claim them!"

Isn't it supposed to be "greatly reduced prices"? Not sure about it though, but figured I'd put it here :)
