((*is reading old posts on this board* Eurgh, jugding by the amount of posts about it, I'd say that maybe it was unwise to have Silver and his family watch the holy grail at my house...I believe it has made him a bit obbsessive. But hey, we were starved of entertainment with no water! What else were we supposed to do, ne?))

</span>Does anyone else think that TMs and HMs are URMed (Usefulness Restriction Mechanism) devices? I'm sure the license for TMs has clauses like "The contents of this TM may only be installed on 1 (one) Pokemon" and "The right to use the contents of this device may only be transferred by legal trading of either the TM or the Pokemon it is installed on". And what about the crazy HM clause "The contents of this device may be freely used in battle, but may only be used outside of battle while the aforementioned Gym Badge is in the possesion of the licensee"? Are the Pokemon League actually the PTAA (Pokemon Training Association of America)?
I'd like to say how much I enjoyed friday's blooper comic :applaud:

Ah, if there's one thing I love it's seeing someone call taillow a stupid bird...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I found it a little difficult to see them as well....
