How autistic are you when it comes to Pokémon syntax? Do you capitalize Trainer? Before XY, did you say SolarBeam and Faint Attack? How do you handle Pokémon plurals?

I use correct plurals and autistically correct other people
>Do you capitalize Trainer?
When used as a title ("Pokémon Trainer Red"), yes. When used as a regular noun ("There are lots of strong trainers!"), no.
>Before XY, did you say SolarBeam and Faint Attack?
Yes. I'm very glad that they changed.
>How do you handle Pokémon plurals?
Correctly. One Pikachu. Three Pikachu. The wild Rattata swarmed the trainers' Pokemon.

What's the answer for the pic OP? I'm stumped
>>32931819
Nidoking is a Poison Type, so the answer is no.

Trainer should only be capitalized if its a formal title (Trainer Blue; Pkmn Trainer May)
Pokemon and all their respective specie names are both singular and plural. Think one sheep and several sheep, not one sheep and several sheeps.
>>32931819
No, but it can be poisoned by twinneedle or a poison type move used by a Pokémon with Corrosion as an ability

I used to care more. I don't do stuff that straight up doesn't make sense like SolarBeam, but I follow the plural rules and want not. I used to use Pokémon but f.lux has issues with the keys I need to use so I use Pokemon.
Anyone who pluralizes a pokemon's name by adding an s is wrong. There's no way around that.

I name all my pokemon.
Even ones that i hatched. usually from whatever the last word i heard from the radio or YouTube or podcast or Movie was when it hatched. It means my pokemon have names like "Farming" (not a grass type) and "Recovery" (on a pokemon with no recovery options) and "Hypothesis" (It's a volbeat. i don't even know.)

IDK if you're on Mac or what, but all you have to do is hold alt and then press 1-3-0 on windows. Pokémon. I have f.lux as well and it doesn't cause a problem
I suppose that it makes me doubly autistic for not following the Pokémon name pluralization rule in Latin. Latin has neither Articles, nor Counter words.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_(grammar)
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Japanese/Grammar/Counters
So the fact that Pokémon names aren't pluralized may not make sense in the fact that English lacks Counter words, but it has Articles. Latin has neither counters nor articles, and I'm already renaming everything into a Latin equivalent name so... it was logical to ignore the rule.
Latin nouns have cases.
Japanese doesn't have cases, it has particles.
English lacks both; it uses prepositions, word order, and the determiner "to".
The plural and singular forms of cases are different in Latin.
The idea is just preposterous in Latin; I have bigger problems to worry about.

That's from before abilities existed.

He's right about the Twinneedle bit though
