You get your sister who hasn't played Pokemon to do your beta testing?
I'm the same way. I feel that colored text does a good deal for game feel. When a word is colored differently from the rest of the sentence, not only does it stand out, but it also impacts the players senses. It tells them, "This is important, pay attention to this," and if the dispersion of colors is done well through different categories and terminologies, it can do a lot for the experience. Caps are one thing, but a player will feel more as if they've been awarded if they, say, get an item with the item's name being green (which can be used to great effect when combined with "item get" sound effects). They'll feel a greater sense of purpose when a person's name is written in red.
I'm basically this way as well, the only thing that really annoys me is inconsistency, not only with capitalisation but with spelling and so on too. When hacks write "Pokeball" in dialogue, and then you receive "POKé BALLS", it's really jarring to me and just seems sloppy honestly.
I agree that colours are good on important words, and even better when they're directions. I really liked what rijonAdventures did, all directions and places you'd have to go next to would be highlighted in green in the dialogue, which is something Pokémon never had, I think?
I also like coloured item names when the player receives them, but I wouldn't like any items/places to have different colours in the dialogue unless they're important.
See, and I know the lack of "é" bothers some people, but that's one thing that I'll probably never care about. I just can't bring myself to. Probably because it's said the same way regardless, and I don't really care for the extra trouble that is looking up and inputting Alt-commands.
Wait, you mean you don't? Because saying Pokemon as it's supposed to be said will generally come out as "Pokuhmon" when said casually.
