Um, the highlight for the Slamance skin REALLY makes it hard to read the text. Lavender against near electric blue is not a good combo. I suggesst either a dark grey (number: 252525 for preferece) or a super, super dark blue (number: 050035 possibly or number: 07004C) 07004C is the lighter of the pair (and more attractive, I think), but it might make the links hard to read, so if you went for blue instead of grey, please be aware of this. Anyway, as always experiment ^^.
As for the hound doom skin, I like the grey ^^. The Orange, however is a little intense. However, grey and yellow usualy go well together as a color combination. Perhaps you shuld try FFF200 which is a pure yellow. Or E5A129 which is a yellow orange for text color. Experiment, young grasshopper ^^.
The number codes just need to be pasted into the appropriate slots. And if you can't find the color that you're looking for in the color box that they provide, open up photoshop, find the color you want in the color picker, and down at the bottom will be the number code ^^. Just copy and paste. I think that this works in paint, too, for those of you who have paint.

I changed the highlight color for the Salamence skin. I can read it, at least.
As for the orange-on-grey...hmm...I liked it...T_T I thought orange would go better with the houndoom theme than yellow. Should I still change it?

Well, maybe make the orange it softer, then, or the grey darker. I liked it too, but it was just really intense, and I noticed that some people didn't like it so much.

Well, I think all the skins are a little "too simple"; but that's not really a problem. Simple skins looks nic, but I do want to mention that Morrie-Chan is rihgt and the Hondoum skin contrast isn't really good. The font is really bright and it's stinging my eyes >.<.
This wasn't really a complaint...Just critiscim to make your skin better. ^-^

Okay. I can work on skins! I'm going to work on making skins that are less simple. The Salamence skin will probably stay the same, though, if not just so I can HAVE a skin.

Alright...soooo...update on skins? ^_^;;
Since the beginning post, one skin (Houndoom) has been deleted for lack of readability, and two skins have been added. One of them, a pink-and-cream Skitty one, has artwork drawn by yours truly (so no stealing). The other, currently the default skin of green, features a Beautifly and Silcoon picture, put together by MorriganFearn from official artwork, with a lively "Beware the Butterfly" slogan.
Anyways...
I am all up for drawing more artwork for skins (though they still have mono-color backgrounds). Is there a Pokemon you would like hand-drawn? The simpler, the better (it's all done on paper, so the fewer lines I have to ink in and possibly mess up on...the better!) Currently I'm thinking of either drawing Castform, Shuckle, Slugma, or Sunkern...what do you all want?
I also have some MorriganFearn artwork of a Banette, which I will make into a skin ASAP.
Please look forward to them, and please give feedback and tell me what sort of skins y'all want!

Er, Eevee asked me to do a photoshoped "surprise" skin, but as a mod I have no skin making powers. If I PM you the logo could you do the skin-ness (I realize this means more work for you on the skin front XP).

Sure. O' course, I'm already backlogged on PM'd-logo-into-skin-ness from ages ago, but sure. If you have a color scheme already planned for it, it'll make it go faster. I'm horrible at deciding good color schemes on my own. ^_^;;

Heheh...premade skins...hehehehehehehe...
Thanks! *hugs* Oh great skin-maker! ^_^
By the way...once I have time to draw...what sort of Pokemon would you like to see? Or I could be lazy, resize the "let's be best friends" one, and make that a skin...

Don't resize it. I think you should do a close up crop of the butterfree, instead. ^^
As for pokies, I dunno. Why not a... mantine/mantyke, because they give live birth ^^ *brick'd*

Ahahaha. You only know that, MF, 'cause I told you.
And this site is completley lacking in an Oddish theme. -nods-
This one should be the World Dominating Oddish (Since it wouldn't really match Salho, would it?). -nods-
Nech. But this is the Oddish Worshipper speaking, so don't pay any heed to her.
-still thinks her Oddish would look neat with an army behind him-

Yays! -dances-
I is happy now.
Heeheehee...I got two pictures flashing through my head, real quick.
The first one was an Oddish standing on top of the world...Which turned out to be a globe, and a Charmander was laughing at him in the background.
Then there was one of an Oddish with a giant gun of some sort. XD

....Scary...Owlies...
Zach has a Noctowl (the original Zach, not the -playbystartingwithastarterZach-). She's his mommy of the road. XD
Mmm. If you want a really creepy skin, you ought to do one with Cubone and Marowak. -nods- I think they're creepy, if put in the right scene. XD
