HERE HAVE AN EMBLEM! (PoC Reviews Challenge)
Pokemon Clubs Reviews Challenge Welcome the the Pokemon Clubs Reviews Challenge! You may remember the old Reviews Thread, but that didn't work out the way we'd hoped so instead here's a challenge for you! If there's a club you visit and have a particularly good time there, write a review! If there's a club that you think could do with some pointers, write a constructive review! The idea of writing these reviews is so that new and old members alike can read through and find out exactly what clubs are best for them to join. The challenge ends July 31st so take your time and write a good'n. :) The best reviews at the end of the challenge will be awarded an emblem, as well as the first place review getting something extra special and a secret award for certain unique reviews, so make sure your writing is good! c: Rules

Featured Club: ❆Welcome to the Gym, Time to Test Your Might❆ (Gym Leaders' Club) This club, run by SectorRevenge, is a club for those who are fans of Gym Leaders, some of the most important people in Pokemon. Activity & Updates:★★★The first member was Meganium90, a moderator who joined literally a few minutes after the club was created. After that, there was a whole plethora of people who seemed interested in the club that were joining. By the time a week had passed, about half of the members who belong to the club currently had joined. However, after that, the club slowly began to decline in activity, which in large part is because of Sector's absence from PC. It has been a little dead as of late, but it is slowly rising up from the dead. There have been few updates as well, but that is what comes with a club with mediocre inactivity. It also doesn't help that there hasn't been anyone to update the club. Once Sector comes back, hopefully the club will come back to be a well oiled machine as it was before he left. Appearance★★★ This club has some nice CSS on the first post, and it is easy to navigate around the page. However, there are many items/pics that seem to be the wrong size for the page. Topic Making:★★★★★ There are many wonderful topics that there are available for members to answer. Many of them are thought-provoking, if not most of them. They are always fun to answer and ponder, which is what makes it such a cool club. A lot of them involve some of the most interesting topics in all of Pokemon, such as: Quote:

Overall Review:★★★★ Basically, what I am trying to convey is that this club always has some interesting topics, but there are not always people to answer them. It lacks constant updating, as well as events and such. The CSS on the first post is well done, though can be a little awkward with really oversized images. |

❆Welcome to the Gym, Time to Test Your Might❆ (Gym Leaders' Club) Review Introduction:One of the most recognised and important roles and positions in the Pokemon Franchise (games, anime etc) are Gym Leaders. A Gym Leader, is the highest ranking member of Pokemon Gym. The main responsibility of a Gym Leader is to test and challenge Trainers and their Pokemon so that they are strong and skilled enough to be able to hold their ground in higher ranking Pokemon Battle competitions, such as regional leagues and champion leagues. If a trainer defeats a Gym Leader usually in battle (exceptions for in the anime), the Trainers earns that Gym’s Badge. Gym Leaders also hold many other responsibilities. They must oversee and successfully manage their Gym so it reflects the best environment for their specification (type of Pokemon) and their strategic battle strategies. Teaching young, aspiring trainers even the basics of Pokemon Battling is apart of the collective jobs Gym Leader have. The “ ❆Welcome to the Gym, Time to Test Your Might❆ (Gym Leaders' Club)”,is the very best place to discuss these skilled trainers and their respective gyms, Pokemon, personalities, appearance etc. Here we’re able to vent out anger at the likes of Whitney and her ghastly miltank, Bugsy and his slicing scyther, express our love for Fantina’s grace or Gardenia’s passion, admire Maylene’s strength and Sabrina’s mental power or go crazy for the wacky Crasher Wake or cool, calm and collected Gym Leader Blue. Club Information:Created; April 20th, 2012, 12:08 AM Owner: Sector Revenge Appearance and Design:The appearance and design overall for the opening post is quite smooth and texturally interesting. The fluent black patterns ease the eye and allow one to easily distinguish what’s information and what’s decoration. The way information is arranged is nifty and neat, scrollbars allowing large amount of information to be shown, but without taking up a ridiculous amount of space to do so is highly commendable. Allowing us to see all the Gym Leaders in all generations - including now current Champions and ex-gym leaders such as Wallace, Koga and Giovanni – alongside their respective gym badge and Pokemon, is convenient and adds just that little extra content and flare to the whole post. Quote:
The simplistic style of the post as a whole is quite beneficial, but the design does have its minor issues. The colour of the borders of boxes containing text, somewhat conflicts with the background colour and pattern; although not largely tarnishing the design overall, it does irk the eye on occasion. Nevertheless, this simplistic design exemplifies, that sometimes, less is more. Activities and Rewards:In this regard the club doesn’t present much. There aren’t many reward systems or extra systems in general to spur an ongoing interest in members and attract others’ how may find the general conversation boring. The lack of extra systems also may tarnish the clubs opportunity to use additional systems to serve as – in some ways- an incentive for members who might not want to contribute to discussion on first thought. Quote:
In saying this, the club still does offer additional features but the lack of development and use of one, let’s down the others almost entirely. The partnering system is a common yet effective and interesting feature that a variety of users enjoy all across the Pokemon Clubs board. The ability to choose a gym leader to trainer under and then pick which one of their Pokemon you wish to own, and having then the freedom to pick one of the same type yourself, is a smart and intriguing twist to this common feature. The ability to nickname our chosen Pokemon is also a bonus. Unfortunately, the Questionnaire accompanying the Partnering/Gym Leader Trainees feature doesn’t seem to have much love or much content. The lack of questions is quite disappointing, but this feature still has great potential to become something that many will enjoy using. All-in-all, the club could definitely improve in this area. Topics, Activity and Member base:The topics, activity and member base of this club I have found to be exceptional. The activity shown by several members is exemplary, while the discussions they contribute to are deep and detailed. The responses to topics are lengthy but well constructed and intricate; a pleasure to read! The variety of topics generated is extremely diverse and covers many aspects of Gym Leaders we would not normal discuss, and keeps the discussion ongoing and fluent while also fresh. The amount of members of the club in general is growing; slower the older it becomes, but nonetheless still progressive. The attitude of the club’s member base is bright, uplifting and welcoming, making joining the club even harder to resist. Members are also, really hardworking and contribute heavily to the promotion of the club; one user in particular, TheAC29, spending some of his previous time creative some snazzy user bars. Such passion is really encouraging and helps to motivate others to contribute as well. Quote:
Concluding Statements:This club is an exceptional club and by far one of the best currently open to all Pokemon Clubs posters. Its positives heavily outweigh its minuscule negatives, and it’s safely said and known that this club in a few months has thrived under public viewing and developed into something great. I highly recommend this club to all those who love discussing or simply love the whole concept of Pokemon Gym Leaders! + Large variety of topics + Members exemplify extreme dedication and passion toward the wellbeing of the club. + Lengthy, well-constructed, intricate posts. + Deep and detailed discussions. + Smooth design for the most part. --- Lack of additional features --- Current features lack content and use. --- Slight confliction of colours http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6515&pictureid=62981http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6515&pictureid=62981http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6515&pictureid=62981http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=6515&pictureid=62981 4.0/5.0 Poke balls! |
Welcome to... http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h347/SectorRevenge/Pokemon/sample_140b2cdf9be41c2c0ad2536759c0af654b06dc8a.jpg The Dragon's Dungeon The Eye of the Dragons (Dragon's Club), club review. This is a club created by Sector Revenge July 28th, 2012, 05:46 AM to be exact. It discusses everything dealing with Dragon Type Pokemon. Activity/Updates ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ The activity in this club was very high as expected when the club is first made, but after the first day it slowed down to a more normal, yet healthy activity level. It is updated within 24 hours which I have noticed does not happen in other clubs I have seen. Appearance ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ At first sight this club looked incredibly appealing. The background fits perfectly with the club and the images choosen for it were also perfectly fitting except for the last one, I mean it's nice itself, but it doesn't blend very nice with the background. Topics ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ I found that this club had interesting topics, yet they weren't exactly any better than the topics in other clubs. They don't seem very unique to me, with topics such as, "Which Dragon type & Dragon family member are you most disappointed in?" or "Which Dragon type & Dragon family member are you most disappointed in?" Conclusion The Eye of the Dragons is a visually appealing club, and has a healthy amount of activity, and even though the topics may not be unique to other clubs, they are a cause for good conversation. So Overall... Well I rated all the sections 4 stars so I think that averages...umm.... ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ |
Welcome to... Krazzikk's Review For The Club, *Splash* the Magikarp and Gyarados Club!http://i.imgur.com/HWlHw.jpg Note: Spoiler:
*Splash* is a club opened July 31, 2012 by Docowocool as a place to have "quizzes, competitions, weekly topics and more! It is all about Magikarp and Gyarados." As quoted from the OP. Appearance 3/5 stars The OP is nice, neat, and clean, but it is a bit boring, some CSS would contribute greatly to the appearance. I can't give Docowocool all the credit for the neatness that it is in now though (or the majority of it) because Olli fixed it up a lot for him. (Way to go Olli) So overall the appearance is about average Misc. Complaints/Features I like that the club has daily random facts for Magikarps and Gyarados's. One of the fact posts was: Quote:
One complaint, and a sign of either laziness or un-attentiveness is that he spelled my name krazzik. Now this isn't that big of a deal but I thought it should be mentioned in the review. Overall...2.5/5 Stars! |
Alright, emblems have been awarded, and it's time to announce the winner.
While all the reviews were pretty good, and some quite entertaining to read, the reviews are meant to bring new members to the club, to present the details of the club itself, where trivial stuff like who the first member was and stuff like that can be a bit of a distraction. Vaporeon7's review was a nice example of that, and that is why he ended up winning the contest. All the reviews were really good, and there were others who could easily have won as well, so good job everyone :D Just to clarify, the "Captivating" emblem are for visually appealing reviews, just if the description of it was misleading. |
