Introducing Unova's Violet Masquerade

wonderful looking theme.. I'm glad you got it released finally :p

Keep up the awesome work.. and let your next one be as good or better!

well the post buttons and stuff are certainly unique. Good work, Nica.

This new theme is nice to the eyes. Finally, a theme that's light and easy for easy viewing. I think I'll set this into my default skin.

When I click the Pidove multi-quote button the button changes to some other theme's. But that aside it's very nice and I'll be using it for a while.

I do have a suggestion, though. Mind if you used a more narrow image, like with the same height, but with a width of 800 pixels? It's not small-screen friendly. Also, mind if you made it so that, well, the thread icons are fitting?

I love the theme, but the font is a little small for my netbook. I'll def. use it on my desktop though.

Finally, but at least it was worth waiting for. It looks really good.

Great job Nica! I needed to change from Generation Inverse which was stuck on Snivy, which is still cool. But this is too girly for me :P

I already said this on IRC, Nica, but I still think the color is too light for me. Nonetheless, its very good looking. ;)

Oh it's nice and has a pretty purple to the theme. Nice work on it, guys.

So, this has been in the works somewhat since June or so, and now it's finally well, out (shush I intended it for the 4th, but since the 10th is still a B/W release date it counts :D;)

Yeah it's based on two Pokemon from the new Unova region, Minccino and Pidove. The name basically means that not everything is Black and White, as the theme song says, and that there is a middle colour in between. Purple seemed to go best, and with that, both Minccino and Pidove appear to be Grey - referencing that there's likely to be a third version. Someday. But yeah.

WHERE IZ RESHYRAM? WHAT IZ DAT PIJIN DOING THERE WITH HIS BIG PEX??! WHY DO CHILLARMY HAVE FREAKISHLY LARGE EARS THAT BLOCK OUT P'S?! T_T

But seriously, for such a small and adorable critter, its ears are massive!

Anyway...I'm liking the style quite a bit. I thought I would lament switching from the Route 167 style I've grown quite accustomed to, but I am not lamenting! I love the Route 167 style, but this style is so easy on the eyes, with its tranquil hues and serene setting... *sighs* The font here is smaller than I would have preferred, though. >.< The quote buttons look cute.

I like the usage of purple because it combines the red-blue pairing that is typically evident in each paired version. When I first heard of Kyuremu, I was hoping for it to have purple eyes, which would mix Reshiram's blue eyes and Zekrom's reddish eyes. I haven't properly looked at Kyuremu's artwork yet, but I've heard that he features yellow eyes. Still, the calm purple tints utilized here seem to transition into the gray very nicely in this style.

Btw, I love the font that PokeCommunity is written in within the forum header, along with the gradients used in the coloration. I'm guessing that it's Calibri...? Though simplistic, IMO it's a striking yet "quiet" font that does not excessively attempt and fail at being a cool font or something.

Now, this is a bit minor, but did we have to have a Pidove gracing our screens? I was giving that guy a chance, but in "A Sandile Gusher of Change", the Pidove there just disgraced all Flying-type Pokemon in a manner that some would argue tarnished the reputation of all Bird Pokemon permanently. It's scared to cross a bridge, hesitates, and ends up rendering the whole "fear" moment pointless because it just ends up FLYING over the darn bridge instead! Just like how all the Pidove in BW001 FLEW. Personally, there are plenty more Gray Pokemon deserving of the spot. Drilbur? Klink? Timburr? Zorua? Ferroseed? Durant? Even Kyuremu, behemoth-ish as it is! ANYTHING but Pidove baring its wings for all to see atop the forums! [/end Pidove rant]

Anyway, amazing style of simplicity, Forever, and unless some awesome Kyuremu style happens to arise from the depths of PokeCommunity, I'll probably be switching to UVM come Pokemon Gray Version's release (and subsequently crying every time I see Pidove). Definitely in my top favorite PC styles for viewing. :)

Yikes...with this theme, it looks like our signatures are wasting so much white space. T_T

I thought it was hilarious how the Style Switcher list is in ALL CAPS...for some reason, I could anticipate that coming from Forever. And it works just great. :cer_laugh:
