his name is spelled l-u-c-a-r-i-o and he's a muscle type

I have to say, they're about 2000 times more capable with words than I was at second grade.

I got pokemon red in Second Grade. By that point I could recite all 151 pokemon By heart and spell all of their names and types correctly. (If I remember correctly i turned 6 in Kindergarden, 7 in 1st, and 8 in second and I got pokemon red for my 8th birthday) I also passed 2nd grade with flying colors so obviously having a hobby of pokemon didn't interfere with my school work.

I'm sorry but our education system is failing if second graders can't even spell Pokemon's names correctly.

My brother is 7 and is fine with all the spellings and stuff.

And i was fine with it when i was 7 and stuff.

And i'm doing fine.

Oh hey this is me. Except I hated writing because I'd get major writers block all the time that didn't disappear until my junior year in high school.

There wasn't much to do at my house as a little kid so I'd read my mom's thriller type of murder mystery books. Of course I never understood what was going on but it caused me to have a larger vocabulary then most kids in my grade (Mainly because I'd go up to my mom and asked what a word meant. I could pronounce them all just fine for the most part too.)

quite good actually, thanks for asking

[Asther]

video games taught me to read english as a baby, anime taught me to speak japanese as a man-baby

[Cshad]

I got Pokemon Red when I was four, (and pokemon stadium when I was five) so I learned how to read that way

I wish my little sister had not put Pokemon Red on top of a lamp without me noticing and then let it melt ):
