@15: The page goes into that a bit - try to think through what you write from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand the mechanics you're describing, and if you're talking about your opinion, make a case for what you believe, rather than simply stating what you think.

What options do you have selected?

Hi I love your website, but the Crown Tundra DLC Pokemon aren't showing up for me on the Favorite Pokemon Picker. Can you please help?

I currently see my rant/guide possibly falling into two pitfalls: that of the ¨my opinions, let me show them¨ and that of the ¨confusing game mechanics.¨
Do you have any advice on how to improve from these pitfalls?

If you write informally, it comes off as more irreverent, personal and fun. If you write more formally, it generally comes off as more trustworthy and like you know what you're talking about.

15

What do you mean by the style and air of it? What is the difference between the reader experience if it is written in a formal or an informal manner?

It's okay to write however you like! Formal vs. informal just changes the overall style and air of it. There's nothing wrong with writing informally if that's what you're going for.

15

When writing a rant/guide, is it okay for the writing to come off as informal, or is it recommended to write formally?

If there were a specific time for the next crossword, it would have been sometime prior to a decade after it started. :P I honestly don't know if/when I'll make a new crossword. I've got a lot of stuff to do.

Sibling sites are essentially affiliates that I have a bit more of a personal relationship with.

15

Is there a specific time for the next crossword to come out? Or do I have virtually infinite time to attempt it?

What´s a sibling site?

Yup, that's me, I'm the one who's way too into PMD lol. Longtime fan of this site.

Super belated, but I'm so stoked about this update, and so pleased I was able to contribute!

Fixed the typo, thanks.

It has been like seventeen years since I wrote the R/S/E tips and tricks, but I would imagine I didn't pick out Meteor Falls because it's less accessible than Route 118, what with needing you to go through the cave and potentially get into other wild encounters on the way.

TACOCAT presumably just entered themselves into the Hall of Fame a lot of times for their own amusement.

The Pokétch would be "POKETCH" in the crossword.

The current crossword is from 2010, so no B2/W2.

15

Is the Irregular Crossword max updated at B2W2, or is it only up to BW?

15

What if we need to add special characters into the irregular crossword? I suspect that the answer to one of the questions is "Pokétch." Should it be formatted as "Poketch," as "Pokétch," or as "Poktch?"

@Altissimo
Aren't you that person from PMD Speedruns who was making that ReA tool?
