(→Trivia: Honestly, I don't see the point of having this trivia separate from that other trivia since it is very relevant. Also we know that Generation V is the current generation (until X/Y comes out) no need to state it.) |
(→Trivia: Commas can't bridge clauses; instead, use a semicolon or a period. An exact percentage is more informative and encyclopedic than "nearly 1/4".) |
