All right. A summary of things to work on:

   - *Pokemon names:* 150 brivla, if you know you're morphology. 56 cmene,=
=20
   which are back-burner. The cmene already written have a few errors, more=
=20
   than likely.
   - *Item names:* I finished converting all the terms to selbri. About=20
   halfway done. I also cleaned up the comments. As part of that, I'm movin=
g=20
   these comments of mine here:
      - For the pok=E9balls, I kind of wanted to brag with Lojban a little.=
=20
      With the numerical+pokeball lujvo, all of the proper meaning and=20
      parallelism is conveyed very concisely, with a bit of a pun on "Maste=
r=20
      Ball" (it's both the last ball and the ball that catches all, so I fo=
und=20
      {rolpokyboi} particularly appropriate) Otherwise, I find it very diff=
icult=20
      to actually translate things like "great" and "ultra" and "master" in=
 a way=20
      that conveys obviously which is better than which.
      - I'm having trouble with "badge" -- right now, I'm debating between=
=20
      si'asni and selji'a -- any ideas?
   - *Attack names:* I've barely touched these, and there's a lot of them.
      - I figured out how to get things like "metronome" to work with the=
=20
      {ko'a cu broda} wording.
      - Have fun with "splash". My brother was joking to make it {malba'i=
=20
      jaurgunta}, {citmle jaurgunta}, or similar. I would like to emphasize=
 the=20
      obvious here and say that the selbri description should be objectivel=
y=20
      describing the action of the attack -- describing it's effectiveness =
would=20
      be 4th-wall-breaking and/or subjecting your own opinion.
   - *Dialogue/Other:* This is my focus. I've given up for now on posting=
=20
   dialogue to be translated, and instead plan on posting them as I transla=
te=20
   them, maybe uploading the rom as I finish certain sections. I've properl=
y=20
   edited the font and a few other programming tasks, and have moved on to=
=20
   almost finish the intro.
