Problem with italic characters

Hello. I recently made an edit where Pokémon in the article was changed to Pokémon. I also changed Pokémon in the article body to Pokémon, but now all the text in that paragraph is in italics. It may have to do with another game title in the body being italicized. I've tried to fix it in the visual and source editor to no avail. Either the whole paragraph is italicized except for the other game title, Pokémon Showdown!, or the first game title Pokémon is not italicized. How should I fix this? Let me know using replyto. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newfiebluejay (talk • contribs) 17:25, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Newfiebluejay: I've fixed it for you. You were missing two apostrophies; that is, it should have been '''Competitive play in ''Pokémon'''''. 19:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Mechanics section is a mess

It covers a whole unorganized jumble of things, of which some are too specific to be relevant. Some statements seem too opinion-y to be appropriate for wikipedia, although some of those are definitely accurate (such as ice being a good offensive type and steel being a good defensive type). The section definitely needs to be rewritten to keep only the most essential information like some of the stuff about EVs and Natures.

It may be nice to have the section explain some of the mechanics that are rarely seen in casual gameplay but very common competitively, such as entry hazards, but I'm not sure how like, within the scope of the article that would be 47.156.176.111 (talk) 17:58, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
