You can blame the competitive atmosphere many of the people here vote on [you're in the proper section for non-Pokemon related media]. Don't ask why they're like that, it's the same on the other cardmaker sites; YCM (where I'm from) and MTG Maker.
That being said, you should word the effects as close as possible to official Pokemon card grammar (unlike YCM, there is no guide to help you write it).


Change starts with you...it starts with everyone. No matter what type of person you are, try!
Try to make the world a better place.
