+In the Japanese releases, 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!")
+
+
+These are all redundant in the English localization and all the strings have been translated to just “!”.
+This tutorial will show you how to remove them, which saves space and simplifies the code.
+
+Open [src/battle_message.c](https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/master/src/battle_message.c) and remove the following declarations:
+```c
+static void ChooseMoveUsedParticle
+static void ChooseTypeOfMoveUsedString
+```
+In the same file, look for the functions: `sGrammarMoveUsedTable`, `ChooseMoveUsedParticle` and `ChooseTypeOfMoveUsedString` and remove them completely.
+
+In the function `BufferStringBattle` in src/battle_message.c, remove `ChooseMoveUsedParticle(gBattleTextBuff1);` and `ChooseTypeOfMoveUsedString(gBattleTextBuff2);`
+
+And finally, change `sText_AttackerUsedX` and add an exclamation mark at the end of the string like so:
+```c
+static const u8 sText_AttackerUsedX[] = _("{B_ATK_NAME_WITH_PREFIX} \n{B_BUFF2}!”)
+```
+And that’s it! You have now removed the move grammar tables and functions and also made it easier on resources because now the game won’t go through multiple functions just to print a single exclamation mark present in 5 different text strings.
