Hey guys, I'm brand new -- I think this is my first post, even. I used to play PKMN Blue back in the day when it first came out, and the announcement of Pokemon Go has brought me back to the "scene". (As well as my enthusiasm for eSports generally!)
I love the Showdown simulator, but it's struck me that the website leaves a lot to be desired for aesthetics. It's a very plain-jane white background, with grays and faint blues, etc. For example, instead of this logo:
Instead, maybe changing it to something like this:
Or maybe a version with a Pokeball or something behind it.
Then you could also spruce up the colors/aesthetics/background on the website, etc. Nothing over-the-top, just something other than the utterly bland look it has now, you know?
For example, I can truly and honestly say that I accidentally stumbled across Pokemon Showdown like 6 months ago or so, but the aesthetics were so poor that I saw the website and just navigated away. I didn't realize it was this really sophisticated and developed tool for Pokemon battles, and had this moderately large community along with it. It just looked so shoddy. But the actual simulator itself looks pretty amazing, all things considered -- fully animated models, sprites, etc. If everything surrounding it on the website were prettier, it'd be a huge allure for PKMN fans!!
Thoughts?
