In this example, both oriented and based are verbs, not nouns.Do not put a hyphen between an adverb and a noun. (Pichu can use a defensively oriented set or a specially based set.)
"oriented" isn't a verb as such. It's a verbal adjective, as is "based" (i.e. to base => based).In this example, both oriented and based are verbs, not nouns.Do not put a hyphen between an adverb and a noun. (Pichu can use a defensively oriented set or a specially based set.)
Also, is it color or colour?
Use immunities instead? o.oIs immunes an accepted term in analyses (as in something like "here is a list of several resists and immunes to a certain Pokemon's STAB: ...")? I know resists is fine, but immunes didn't seem to pop up in any analyses when I did a quick Google search.
Is it "setup sweepers," "set-up sweepers," or are both correct? It seems like I see both being used, sometimes, such as in the NU Ditto analysis, in the same article.
As set-up is the adjective, it probably should be set-up sweepers.Rising_Dusk said:Setup is a noun, used as follows: "Gyarados has an easy setup against Scizor."
Set up is a verb, used as follows: "Gyarados can easily set up against Scizor."
Set-up is an adjective, used as follows: "A set-up Gyarados is dangerous."
I'm a bit confused which takes precedence, especially since both forms are present in analyses on site.When setup is being used as an adjective, spell it as setup and not set-up. (Pichu is setup bait for Mewtwo.) The verb form, to set up, is spelled as such. (Mewtwo can set up on Pichu.)
How does this work with sandstorm and hail? I know moves and abilities are supposed to be capitalized, so it's Rain Dance, Drizzle, rain, Sunny Day, Drought, sun, Sand Stream, and Snow Warning, but these last two seem a little unclear because Sandstorm and Hail are both moves as well as weather conditions. Should this just be on a case by case basis or should one always be used over the other?
- Weather (sun, rain, etc.) is not capitalized.
yes the former is correctJust to clarify, base should come before the numbers when talking about stats, such as "Blissey has a high base 255 HP", not "Blissey has a high 255 base HP", right?
I'd actually like to officially dispute this. Putting the number in the middle is splitting the term "base Attack" unnecessarily in a way that introduces ambiguity. I vastly prefer keeping the entire term intact to better differentiate between Attack and base Attack at a glance.yes the former is correct
We tend to only capitalize the things that the game capitalizes (Base Power, the stats, names, etc.). Base (stat) is not a coined term within the game. The only things that we do capitalize that aren't explicitly in the game are EVs and IVs.I'd actually like to officially dispute this. Putting the number in the middle is splitting the term "base Attack" unnecessarily in a way that introduces ambiguity. I vastly prefer keeping the entire term intact to better differentiate between Attack and base Attack at a glance.
Honestly, maybe the answer is to capitalize the "base" and make Base Attack / Speed / whatever else an actual capitalized term. It seems like it would make sense.
