Hi there. :) I don't mind PMing you, though IRC is fantastic for real-time communication. I know you're sick of talking about Sylveon, but hey, that goes with being co-leader of a project. Anyway, I won't mention the topic any further for now (although I do expect it not to be delayed indefinitely).
No, you don't smell. Not even metaphorically. I just prefer IRC, as many other Smogon users use it, too.
