Josh, I actually like the site layout. Busy is what works for Pokemon.
Minor quibbles - the spelling and grammar needs some work.
On
this page, you have:
"Post a link to your site here (NO OTHER FORUM)! We will not delete you posts, you can freely advertise. This is the forum to do it!" (Needs to be "We will not delete YOUR posts".
"Talk here about the newly reveled GameCube" (Should be "revealed" not "reveled" - there are a couple of places where I saw this)
"Want to be part of the Pokeball.net staff? Well here is a much more eaiser and faster way to do so!
Post your staff application here and one of our staff members (usually Josh) will respond!" (Second statement is awkward, try "Well, here's a much easier and faster way to do so!"
Like I said, minor quibbles, and my son who's hanging over my shoulder loved the site. Nice job!
