You're 'stating the obvious', which is your opinions backed by nothing beyond your own insistence that that's how it is. That is not debating. As well, throwing in an imaginary judge who would side with you and mentioning an English class do nothing for you (and speaking of English, you...

EDIT: I posted a reply before your edit came up xD I definitely agree that it is silly to change only the starting age but leave everything else the same.

Well, I was trying to say that the Pokemon world type of characters in a realistic type of world wouldn't really fly. It *should* be a given that they be more competent before setting out, but as this is fanfiction, this isn't always the case. If we are allowing for all this training and...

I'm not sure they'd get any special education since we've seen a number of cases where trainers don't know fairly basic things (Ash or other main characters early on, and some of the 'fresh' trainers encountered). I know there are Pokemon to protect them from wild ones, but sometimes they might...

In the Pokemon world, I'm sure they can, because it makes use of suspension of disbelief. I wouldn't fault the anime or a fanfic for doing this. I'm just saying, if we allow for the kind of realism people in our world deal with, then considering some wild Pokemon are apt to attack trainers, new...

It's hard for me to say my favorite. Advanceshipping was my old favorite, but I think Pearlshipping has caught up by now. I also support Sapphireshipping and Rayshipping. Hmm...I can't decide ;_; But I'm open to nearly any ship. Some are just harder to *really* sell me on. With regards to...

Heh. I've thought more than once about how silly the Pokemon world is. Both the idea of people battling without Pokemon dying/trainers being hit by crossfire, and that so many Pokemon don't mind spending most of their time confined to a tiny little ball. Oh, and ten year olds traveling across...

Let me sum up what you just said: "I'm right because I say so." If that's all you have, I guess I can consider this matter closed.

1. How am I relying too much on fandom? Fandom falls outside of the scope of what I've been saying too. I don't rely on it much, if at all. 2. Refer to what I said just above you. Namely this bit: If we're talking strictly about "what the writers would allow" then I'll grant that any pairing...

The term "fourth wall" stems from the absence of a fourth wall on a three-walled set where the audience is viewing the production. The audience is supposed to assume there is a "fourth wall" present, even though it physically is not there. This is widely noticeable on various television...

What the writers intend doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure in our earlier 'debates', I've said the writers will never pair anyone. That doesn't matter. If we're thinking of Pokemon in terms of the world, its characters, what we know, then there is nothing to say it can't happen. If we allow for...

Humor which makes light of the existence of a wall is a concept known as "tapping the fourth wall", something commonly done across different literary forms. I'm sorry, but a couple of quotes inserted into a dubbed version of the movies played for laughs isn't the table turner you seem to think.

In a debate, something is only a 'factor' when it has some relationship to the issue. I've explained why something outside the fourth wall is not a factor (and therefore not subject to consideration) and thus far, you haven't been able to refute me. Your last post was merely an extension of...

The fourth wall is used to describe the barrier between the fictional universe and the real world where people draw/direct/etc. Think of it like this: If May and Dawn (since we're talking about same-sex pairings) were talking, and one said to the other "I have feelings for you", would the...

Exactly where it was before, with everything you just mentioned existing outside of it. You do understand the purpose of a fourth wall, correct?
