The '''PRO glossary''' is a list of common argot used by the community of [[Pokémon Revolution Online]]. It's predominantly comprised of shorthands like abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols that might be unfamiliar to newer members of the game.

Because language is ever-changing and subjective, this list is unlikely to encompass all ambiguous-sounding terms you read.
