 Regarding the incomplete tag in the stages section that says to add "details on what allows certain main stages to be skipped", from my research it seems like this feature was introduced into the game in 3DS version 1.3.0 ([https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/4bklod/v13_change_list/ source], though I'm not sure if/when mobile got it), but was silently removed at some point later on. Skips tended to occur on high-difficulty main stages that were not Mega Evolved Pokemon or area bosses - examples include Milotic or Roserade, which mostly acted as mid-bosses for their areas. Several mid-boss stages have since had their HP reduced (some have even been reduced twice), and the skip feature was likely removed since it was no longer necessary after those nerfs were made ([https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/6atmar/query_den_55_try_asking_your_question_in_here/dhkdpjf/?context=3 source with more details]). <br>
 So, with this in mind, what should we say about this topic in the article? I'm not sure where to put it, seeing as the stages section is planned to be split off soon and the concept of stage skipping is only ever mentioned in the incompete tag and in the version history (and in the latter's case, it's only there because I put it there).

+== Capitalizations ==
+I want to use this section to just discuss proper capitalizations for some Shuffle terms. Some things to keep in mind... If a term only appears in a label or a name and all the words are capitalized, you can't be sure that indicates "proper" capitalization, it could be title case.
+* '''Enhancement''': for the record, this one goes either way, from "enhancement" in Skill Swapper's description to "Enhancement" in event text ([https://pastebin.com/jnkeWssU example]) and some [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2B7NDmxKKo&t=2m07s game text]. I'd go with caps, I guess because that seems more frequently used.
+* '''''Stage types''''': main stage, special stage, competitive stage... Lower case seems to be the standard, as mostly seen [https://pastebin.com/jEZesWru here]. Main Stage is capitalized on that page, ''but'' that's used as a name&mdash;and, it seems that from [https://pastebin.com/hyJydMEY 1.3.16], they're even using lowercase there. I think we ''should'' be using lower case as the default for all the stage types (main, extra{{tt|*|I don't know of a good reference either way for this one, but it'd be illogical (for us) to treat it differently}}, special, competitive, [https://pastebin.com/jnkeWssU escalation] (search whole page)). (Obviously current article titles&mdash;which should probably be singular too&mdash;complicate this a bit, but I still think we should write it properly where possible.)
+* '''Attack power''': it's been pointed out that "Attack Power" appears in both the item Attack Power ↑ and on a Pokemon's stat screen, but neither of those can be trusted to be "sentence" case contexts instead of "title" case. I've looked for any potential uses in event text, but I can't seem to find any. ...IMO, I'd say defaulting to lowercase might be best.
+* '''Skill''': should be "skill", based on [[Amelia]] and Skill Swapper's description.
+* '''Check in''': should probably just be "check in", again per [[Amelia]].
+* '''Mission Card''': this was just the only other thing I really wondered about, but it seems to indeed be capitalized in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2B7NDmxKKo&t=23s in-game text].
+Thoughts? Counter examples?  Other suggestions? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:04, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
