Ah, I see, you combined TryParse with the ReadLine, as well as checking for the greater than symbol all into one line. That's genius. Being a freshman in CS I probably wouldn't of thought of that.
And as for the posting, no problem. I've been lurking around Smogon for a year now, I absolutely adore the community's work, and instead of waiting around to get introduced to the community via Battling 101 I figured I'd jump right in, having read the rules of course. I'd really like to leave my mark here, as I do believe I could contribute a lot. For example as soon as I learn Java I'd like to work on plugins for Shoddy Battle, something like a Team Resistances/Weakness chart for the Team Builder, maybe a damage calculator, things like that.
