Pok©mon?

What's with the filter changing Pokeemon (double e on purpose) into Pok©mon? Is this a new experiment or something like that? I don't really care what it looks like anyways- I was just curious as to what prompted the change.

You're doing it wrong.

You have to explicitly put the é now (Alt+0233 on PC, Opt+E, E on Mac).

What the hell you on about? For as long as I've been on this forum no one had to use the "é" in Pok©mon. We could just say Pok©mon without this werid alt codes showing up. A laptop can't use the number keypad on a normal PC keyboard, so I don't know what is going on.

If that's a rule, it's a dumb one.
Really.

I doubt it's true.

Nope, I see nothing about using the alt code "é" in Pok©mon in the rules.

I'm pretty sure you can say Pokémon with the accent.

EDIT: Yeah. Just press Alt+130. What the hell are you guys on about?

"Experiment" is a pretty good way to put it.

It's supposed to filter to the version with the é, but there's some encoding problems going on somewhere along the line. We're getting things sorted out, don't worry

Would it explain when I use the ¬ ¬ (without space) comes up as something else?

We only have a few rules here:


    [li]We expect proper English from all members, with the exception of people who show an obvious difficulty in typing the English language. Do not use shortcuts or pointless abbreviations. "Pokémon" is always "Pokémon" ("Pok©mon" is acceptable too) - never "pokes", "pkmn", or "pkm", for example.

It still says we can use Pok©mon not the way you claim.

No no, Mutou Yami, you're forgetting the sub-paragraphed section exclusively made by and for CJ Miller to enforce at his own free will with no consequences except making him pissed and post action text against you if you break them.

That makes no sense and he isn't an admin. He can't do anything other than bitch at everyone. I've always used Pok©mon without the alt code. It's not a "shortcut" it's a normal way of saying Poemon without the French e in it.

Maybe that's why it was a joke.
