Leave it blank, the SCMS doesn't recognize non-Item names and spits out an integrity errorA weird question, but if a Pokemon isn't holding an item, what are we supposed to put? No Item? None? Nothing? N/A? Leave it blank?
It's circumstantial; if it doesn't belong there at all just delete it, if it's used wrong but another word fit replace it. If it fits perfectly and doesn't seem forced you can leave it, but I'd rather you not.Question about the whole 'crux' issue: from what I've read in the OP, this sentence has been outlawed for basically being fluff by nature. Therefore, when I was doing an amcheck yesterday that featured this sentence, I outright chopped the entire sentence out. However, I've also seen checks (don't recall if they were official) where the word 'crux' was simply replaced with a synonym, e.g. 'X is the most important move of this set'. I was wondering which way is correct. Imo the latter approach doesn't solve it; if 'X is the crux of the set' is considered fluff, then 'X is the most important move of the set' should be considered fluff as well, because the sentences state exactly the same thing, using (roughly) an equal amount of words. But yeah, if an official GP member could shed some light on this, that would be much appreciated ^_^
I've come across this in the SCMS too, though I don't think it's an issue as I'm pretty sure that the dex itself displays double spaces as just a single space.I strongly advocate making the use of only one space after a period (i.e. a full stop) official policy. I've been going through many Pokedex entries on the SCMS to make small edits for things like clunky wording, capitalization, "-type", and removal of references to banned Pokemon, and have caught a couple outlier entries that used two spaces after every period.
I came across the phrase "Fairy + Ground coverage" while cleaning up Little Cup Snubbull's entry on the SCMS. This seems to hit a grey area. We use phrases like "Fairy / Ground typing" and "Fairy- and Ground-type attacks," but I couldn't find anything in this thread detailing the use of "+" in the context of attack types, rather than attack names. "Fairy- +" looks kind of awkward, which weighs against using "Fairy- + Ground-type coverage," so it seems to me that the plus should be replaced and we should just use the traditional "Fairy- and Ground-type coverage" instead. I didn't make this change in my SCMS submission, since I figured I should check here first.
