   - 
   - I'm planning on using "ko'a cu broda" for "[[pokemon] used [[attack]!" 
   Be certain the x1 can be filled by the pokemon name. Also, sometimes the 
   selbri must be more descriptive than what it's translating. See "METRONOME" 
   and 
   [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Metronome_(move)#Description|Bulbapedia].
      -  I just had an idea. "ko'a cu broda" is good and all, but it's 
      somewhat limiting because now there must be a built-in agent place 
      everywhere, and in some cases that would make the word too long. I think a 
      good solution would be a template of this form: "ko'a zo'u broda", as now 
      you can use anything you want, which means more freedom in our 
      translations. --((selpa'i))
   
I agree with selpa'i. At first it seems a little awkward, but I'm pretty 
sure this is an excellent use of {zo'u}. And the agent thing is definitely 
awkward for the attacks with obscure causality. (Psybeam? Double Edge? 
Sonic Boom?) Technically, we don't *have* to have an agent place, but we 
would at least have to have the x1 always be the pokemon, which puts gasnu, 
darxi, and gunta all over the place unnecessarily. (And vaguely)

So I'm officially changing the standard so that you all can be more free in 
translation.
