    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Rate my site~

Re: Please rate..

Hmm...the layout and splash is nice and uneyehurting which is good. It doesn't have to much content but I'll let you away with it for now as thinking of sections for a site is somewhat hard if you aren't copying someone else. It's quite a nice site really but needs some work. Good job :D

Wish you and your site luck~
 
Re: Please rate..

Not really as I'm not the best improve person thingy but be original. Not saying that you aren't but just keep that in mind. Maybe you should get some more information cause at the mo you just seem to have the Moveset Pokedex. Gotta go now~
 
Re: Please rate..

Just one problem that I can see instantly, you always seem to put random line breaks in your sentences, it makes it look like poetry. You don't hit enter after a comma, just a space.
 
Re: Please rate..

Ohhh I remember you, Wilfred.

Okay, it's improved a lot! I like the style and the content, but the grammar needs some work. Again, don't make line breaks in the middle of sentences. It kinda makes it annoying to read. Also, don't randomly capitalize in a sentence.

Affiliate is spelled "Affiliate". Is Art Shoppe always gonna be an Art "Shoppe"? But those are some great sprites.

It looks good.
 
Re: Please rate..

I don't really like the layout - it's a bit monotonous. I don't like the marquee thing - it's pointless, unncessary, and annoying. Plus for some reason your layout has a scroll bar when it's clearly in the middle of my screen. The battle dictionary is nice, and the movesets are nice, though you could explain them some more. Your whole webmasterly section is the same old pointless stuff, though the layout making is a bit different. You have some nice sprites. You can't really write all that well, and you need to work on your formatting. (I.e. use the "enter" key twice, not once.) I also love it how on your Wall of Shame site you said that you banned someone for criticizing you and another for "no reason". And how you're stealing pictures from Arkeis on your mascot's page and don't say that it's Arkeis's. Methinks you fit on your own wall of shame.

Anyways, I think you could improve by:

1.) Make your rail columns less wide - they're a bit too wide and make the main content area small (because you're using fixed-width too for a 600x800 screen. At least make it 1027x768.
2.) Get rid of the dead link (emoticons).
3.) Get some more content. (i.e. expand the moveset page, explain them more.)
4.) Generally lengthening and improving your pages - they're too short, hard to read, and generally-speaking, not worth the time.
 
Re: Please rate..

Okay Thanks..
@ Lorem Ipsum: Okay I'll try remember..
@ Seritinajii Yeah okay I try to keep my spelling okay. It's not the worst
but i'll try get better grammar ;) and thanks for the sprites,
I should make some news ones..
@ Empoleon Would you be able to maybe post screenshot?
Then that would help. Didnt consider screen sizes.
Thanks.

Everyone else: we have some new ideas and things
And also the pages right now are mostly old so they
will eventually be updated.

Thanks all.
 
Re: Please rate..

Your line breaks are kind of... kind of bizarre. The sentences would be happier if they all lived together on one line instead of jumping down abruptly like poetry. Just try not to rapidly press Enter to continue your sentence
because it really tends to be
eye-hurting and confusing
like this.

Also, one of your guides is far, far too short. We want something to actually read that takes more than three seconds. Put some life into it, a bit of information. This site has barely any content as of press time, so you have to add some stuff!

Your HTML guide also is a bit too brief and jumpy. It contains some errors. You need to really walk people through HTML. The <p> tag is followed by </p> at the end of the paragraph. You aren't really helping people by hardly describing what anything does. Think of some new methods, maybe a pnuemonic, and try to better that guide.
(Also, I'm fairly sure that <br> is more recently spelled <br /> due to XHTML stuff. ^_^)

Onto layout: this is a pretty good layout and very calm. The colors don't blind you, and the splash is cute. You seem to have some art talent and you should probably put that to use. I dislike the big lettering on the different sections as well as the font used there; it looks too big and a little ugly. The color white is fine and goes decently, but change that font.

Maybe start a cute new Choose Your Own Adventure-ish comic, where the audience decides what happens next via a poll, or a crazy weird comic where the audience sends in words or ideas (ie: mushrooms or art festival) that must be used. Or just a normal comic first, to draw some people in. (No pun intended.)

Your line breaks are frazzling at first, and then sort of endearing, but I think they need to be shaped up. You seem to have some potential, so good luck and as you told everyone on your pages, keep going!
 
Re: Please rate..

Ooh,
I like that critism. Yeah I'm trying to remember the line breaks.
Yeah I guess i'm ok, But i'd appreciate it if you gave me a answer to:
Should the comic be hand drawn ( I have scanner) Or should it be
a Sprite Comic?
 
Re: Please rate..

Yeah well its just there for fun.
And its not a loop. I just copy & pasted
The same word over and over again. It does stop.
I've done it before.
