Memorial Day itself isn't gonna be that big a thing since it's being overshadowed by my graduation, my brother's graduation, my brother's 18th birthday and a cousin's graduation/18th birthday all descending upon us at once. I was sort of pressganged into doing a church thing I didn't want to do at the last minute, and there are some errands that need to be run tomorrow, but the rest of the long weekend and tonight in particular should be pretty nice. I hope you have a good weekend, too!
Heh. I can't really deal with bright colors on dark myself; there was a different version of that theme where the greens were more muted and I liked that a lot, but the consensus was for the one we're currently using. Ah, well, it's far from the worst acid green on dark theme out there (idk man, on ZB we were going to use this (eVolution) when we opened and aside from looking super dated and tacky I can't take that neon green uuugh), and maybe I'll adminhax the other version in for myself later! Default's highlight color is fixed, anyway, and it turns out it wasn't much better on the other two dark themes so I tweaked it there as well. Thanks for pointing that out.
Everything has perfect IVs, 255 EVs (screw the 510 limit I guess) and neutral nature. Shiny wilds are possible and are more common than in the games, albeit it still takes some luck to find them; I have rolled up two shinies already while testing the wild gen, though, so they'll show up eventually. The possibility of shiny starters was floated but for now is at "no" because idk, I wasn't sure how I felt about that; I guess it's no less "unfair" for someone to get a shiny starter than it is to find a shiny anything else, so I may change my mind before we open, but eeeehhh. Even if that doesn't change, though, there might eventually be a rare thing that can make a pokémon shiny? There was in Turquoise's earlier incarnations, anyway, although that was before we decided to have shiny wilds so I don't know for a fact if we're still bothering with that. I'll have to see.
Mantis shrimp are the best~ I think when it comes to rainbow sparkly underwater death machines my favorite is this, though. Mantis shrimp are a close second, but bahahahaha these things.
