Please, ''never'' edit archived talk pages. And ''never'' edit in old, unrelated sections of a talk page. If you want to talk to another person on Bulbapedia, use their current talk page, and start a ''new'' section (you can easily use the "+" button at the top of the page for this).

I'm going to copy all this here just because there's not really a better way. | |||
(For the record, the below comes from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ATiddlywinks%2FArchive_1&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=2451882&oldid=2298588 here].) | |||

Sub: The Summary of XY117: | |||
Hey Tiddlywinks, | |||
I don't think the usage of 'runagate' instead | |||
of 'renegade' matters much,or using that | |||
word 'jocund' is by any way misfit with the | |||
context.Jovial,jocund and cheerful all are | |||
synonyms,so they can be used without any | |||
restriction,and Wordsworth has used that | |||
phrase in 'The Daffodils',so it is not wrong. | |||
I also disagree with your views that the last | |||
line is erroneous-'leaving their newfound friend | |||
in an optimistic and benevolent world which it | |||
shouldn't fear living in'. | |||
Would u please specify my mistakes there? Thanks</i></blockquote> | |||
Both "runagate" and "jocund" are incredibly obscure/awkward words. ("Runagate" I would have initially said wasn't even a word, until I searched a dictionary and found an entry. "Jocund" on the other hand I do recognize, but still only barely.) This makes them inappropriate to use. That's why I either replaced or removed them. | |||
It's worth noting that I haven't seen this episode. But that last line that you wrote seemed to me in part too pat and in part awkward. If I were to try to point to a particular problem, I'd say that you can't call the "world" "optimistic" or "benevolent"; beings in a world can be optimistic or benevolent, but not the "world". Also, there's plenty of evidence that the Pokemon world as a whole isn't "benevolent" anyway (perhaps a majority, but certainly not everything). | |||
I will also say about the other things you again tried to add back, "caustic" usually relates to sarcasm, to ''speech'', and Phantump can't exactly speak, so it's at best a very awkward word to try to ascribe to it; and "the stump Pokemon" is just a completely pointless abstraction, there's just ''no'' reason to not identify it more directly. | |||
(And, just in case: please continue the conversation here.) | |||
