This website has the pleasure of testing my newly designed rating system for websites. :D
Layout
The layout is obviously one built by a site builder, rather than with your own two hands (i.e. through CSS and HTML). This acts to the detriment of your site's originality in its look and feel. However, it is reasonably clear: text is not difficult to read, and pages aren't hard to find.
However, broken links are present in the navigation which does act to the detriment to the feel of the website, particularly when it redirects you to a page that is not in sync with the rest of your layout.
My recommendation would be to build your own layout, even if it means changing hosts (if the current host only operates with a site builder.)
Atmosphere
There are some grammatical errors in the site, like with "Once you beat the elite four and get the National Dex
the following thing happen" or "New section with news about all of the
New Pokemon games!" but there is nothing intrusive. You also seem to make a noticeable attempt to make the atmosphere friendly.
One thing I would suggest is to run all your paragraphs through a spelling and grammar checker (like Microsoft Word) so all your sentences are correct. Also, I would suggest personalising it a bit more: try to have a writing style that is distinctly
you. It does take a while to develop, but it's worth it.
Uniqueness
Here we hit a bump. Many viewers can forgive a generic layout, but your content lacks originality. For example, you've obviously put a lot of work into your Pokédex, but it doesn't have any new information that can't be gotten elsewhere, like at Veekun or Serebii.
It is so important to be unique, because it will give people a reason to come to your site rather than the myriad of other Pokémon sites out there. It's hard, but it's essential. I suggest you start by asking the question, "what can I offer that nobody else can? What can I do better than everyone else?" And then, move from there.
You said something about a six-month milestone, so I can see you have the determination. :) Now it's time to put that determination to good use.
Informative Content
Your informative content consists of a Pokédex. As I've said, this is a good start, but you have to add more. Most people don't check a Pokédex for flavour text or abilities - they'll check it for moves, locations, and other juicy things.
Creating a full Pokédex with all this information is a daunting task, so maybe you'll want to delay that to post other things. Game reviews are a good place to start, but be careful: don't list simple facts. Be deep in your reviews, and preferrably review games that haven't received much coverage. Ultimately, it's your choice, but you need to improve the depth of your content.

Creative Content not applicable
Overall
Overall, the biggest thing you need to change is your content: make it deeper and make it more original. Then, you should work on building your own layout. I'm sorry if you find this review harsh, and I'll be willing to discuss it more in detail through VM or PM, but it's aimed at helping your site get better. :)
