November Blue

wow, i didn't notice - they're pretty good! some of my old checks were absolutely facepalm-inducing - I used to change 'such as' into 'like' D:

nice work, you really cleaned up Whimsicott and Scizor!

I'm not sure if I can stamp Scizor since the previous stamp was of my check - try asking NWO or Komodo? I only found one nitpick, under checks & counters: Lugia can use a combination of Reflect, Roost<comma> and Whirlwind to ward off Scizor

edit: swords dance (last set), AC last paragraph: Skarmory, Lugia<comma> and various Arceus

whoops my bad, evidently I need to be more clear about my punctuation changes D:

Haha thanks! I'll probably hold off on applying until I feel more confident in my abilities. For now, I'll keep on doing am checks and writing my analyses :P

thanks! now shoo go check my sun article :p

Thanks

:( tell me when you apply next time. Probably I'll be able to apply by then too. Let's keep our chins up ;)

Ah. Ok. Thanks :) oh and a better answer for your GP queue would be: don't worry. You can do official checks soon! Don't want to get your hopes too high but I honestly feel and think you and sirndpt will get into the GP team. If you 2 can't, I wonder who else can :P

and er for amoonguss. 'it can phaze through taunt'. Sounds as if taunt is a phazing move :o you were refering to the fact that clear smog is not affected by taunt? Good luck for your analyses too :)

Hm. Proofread = re-read?

Yea I agree. I've seen outdated analysis with multiple checks which aren't implemented (the original Golurk included). But it's ok to nitpick on the previous GP check right? Just like what you did with Shame That's check?

So is 'retype' a word? I don't really know... The only place I found it was from NWO's Scyther analysis which has no GP as of now.

Thanks! Although it's not a full GP check since I've yet to implement the check. 20 minutes?? That's fast. I think I'll leave out quite a few things if I do them so quickly. I even need multiple edits sometimes to minimize the errors.

haha. Do I type so many 'lols'? Was it that bad? :o probably habitual but sometimes I really laugh when I'm typing :x

Oh yea, is it not advised to do a GP check when the previous ones aren't implemented yet?

LOLs. Yea go ahead and GP check it. I'm waiting to see if someone stamps Shame That's check before I implement it. If it doesn't get stamped for awhile, I'll just add it in. Looking forward to having my first analysis uploaded. Although it wasn't originally mine. lols

I'm 'new' to Smogon forums... lols. I just know stuff by jumping around the forums randomly. Lols. That's when I'm on my phone since I can't GP check on phone :P btw i lost track of where the items etc thread is :o but i'll probably not have enough time to do so many things. GP checks takes about an hour each. How long do you take to GP check one? :)

Lols. Nope. Amateur/unofficial GP checks need not be reported on the queue. Notice that there are more of those than official checks. It would probably flood the queue. The official checkers will most likely report that they stamped checks; and you shall be one of those official checkers soon! :) and yea I took over Golurk. My first try in doing it. Although I'm just passing it through copyediting. Lols :)

thank you

wow thanks so much! I still don't think I've really found the balance between changing only the obvious mistakes vs infringing on the author's personal style though... :/ anyways you are too, aren't you? best of luck to you too!

Yea. The results still aren't out yet? @.@ haha. I won't be able to get into GP team so soon! I'll just keep giving checks and continue learning. Yea, I still open those 2 pages whenever I do a check. Lols. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of it soon. My holidays just started and I'll probably have more time for it. There's still plenty of gray areas I don't really understand though.

My friend is applying for GP team as well and he said there were multiple appliications. Jumping around convos and yea found out you applied. And you know who is ibo by now right?

Oh and the abilities/items/moves etc things. Anything I should give it a shot to help out with it? I havn't started playing Gen5 though, but I probably have enough background knowledge on the metagame. And I'm doing some programming stuff. If I can, I'll try doing a few of those. What do you think I should try to do? :)

haha I have no idea actually... xP

No, it's cool.

LOL i know right such an epic fail xD

Resigned from Admin work a few years back due to career/wife/house? :o

I did. :P And thanks!

thanks for the heads up, and don't worry about it, it's alright!

Still wrong. Where the did you get wo and ark from? xP It's three syllables: the first one is Jo to make it simple for you, pronounce it like the word Yo (it's acceptable), the second one you pronounce like the word ah but short, and the third one is just like the name Kim. Do you understand now?

Well thank you.

The pronounciation isn't the same as Joaquin. It's more like Jo-ah-kim. It's hard to explain and you who have english as your native language might have trouble pronouncing it correctly, as some pronounciations in the swedish language doesn't exsist in the english one. That's why swedes have almost no trouble learning how to speak fluent english, like me (some still have trouble with it though), and english speaking persons have trouble speaking swedish without an accent. If you undestand what I'm saying.

thank you, i was so stressed until nails told me i was at least a runner up yesterday

I doubt you'll get very far with it to be honest. This is a busy time of the year for a lot of people (myself included) and I think most people find writing these kinds of contributions a tad on the tedious side.

I've done GP checks before and even applied for the team, but I didn't make it because I did "too many unnecessary changes", which many do anyways. But I don't care about that anymore.

No thanks, I would rather stick with analyses instead.

Jocke is a nickname for my name, but with caps in my username ofc. My name is Joakim, the Swedish version of Joaquin to give you some perspective.
