:http://www.englishrules.com/writing/2005/possessive-form-of-singular-nouns-ending-with-s.php Ha, ha, ha, ha, this looks a little better than the blog but do you see the first example. It uses James's cat, ha, ha, ha, That's hilarious. Sorry for commenting on a 6 month old topic, but I was curious to see what I could find, on the subject. And the first example just made it that much sweeter.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 02:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

::::Selfdestruct and Explosion have already been proven Sketchable thanks to Damp, and I'm 100% certain that a method also exists for Metronome (have a faster Metronome user Asleep, go into a 2-on-2 fight, have the Metronome user use that move, have the Sketch user select Sketch and target the Metronome user, and let everything rip; I've done this method to Sketch Transform in Ruby, which pretty much points to Metronome being Sketchable in Generation III, though they might have modified the coding to keep that method from working in Generation IV). This leaves Struggle as the lone unSketchable move. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC) | ::::Selfdestruct and Explosion have already been proven Sketchable thanks to Damp, and I'm 100% certain that a method also exists for Metronome (have a faster Metronome user Asleep, go into a 2-on-2 fight, have the Metronome user use that move, have the Sketch user select Sketch and target the Metronome user, and let everything rip; I've done this method to Sketch Transform in Ruby, which pretty much points to Metronome being Sketchable in Generation III, though they might have modified the coding to keep that method from working in Generation IV).

== Bulbanews == | |||
I've noticed Bulbanews tends to name characters and their Pokémon by their Japanese names. I personally know the Japanese names for most of them, but it could be confusing for some people who only know their names in English. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 23:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
