+In Japanese, there are five ways to say "*POKéMON* used *MOVE*!":
+
+- "*POKéMON*の　*MOVE*　つかった！" ("*POKéMON* used *MOVE*!")
+- "*POKéMON*の　*MOVE*した！" ("*POKéMON* did *MOVE*!")
+- "*POKéMON*の　*MOVE*　した！" ("*POKéMON* did *MOVE*!" for long move names)
+- "*POKéMON*の　*MOVE*　こうげき！" ("*POKéMON*'s *MOVE* attack!")
+- "*POKéMON*の　*MOVE*！" ("*POKéMON*'s *MOVE*!")
+
+This tutorial will showcase how to localize and restore the grammar table that once held the code responsible for showing these five ways. This tutorial will also fix grammatical issues with some of the move text.
