I'm trying to learn more of the 'technical' skills of PS CS3.

  Even though I already rock with colored pencils.

What if our internet connection experiences problems during a PVP battle and we get kicked off the game? Will the server recognize that as quitting and punish us?

How about, instead of punishing everyone, the system leaves the punishing up to the trainer that stayed. The trainer could chose to "Punish" or "Forgive" the other.

This is Pokemon-Universe. The forum should be about Pokemon.

There are lots of specific forums that have non-related categories for the members. Forums turn into more of a community as they grow, drawing people in for the member base, topics, and overall theme.

I like NinjaBlaze's topics, especially the Artwork, Creative Writing, and Anime ones. If the inactive members see more stuff to talk about, then it might motivate them to post more. I don't think a big boom in member activity will occur until the game is released. So until then, let us (active) members help by creating some really interesting forum topics, via more categories.

 How about a list of Titles that'll go over/under the player's name for reaching certain criteria? Of course, only one would be available to use at a time.

[Title] Player's Name, or Player's Name [the Title]

Like:

Explorer: For Exploring X number of caves, forests, towns, ect.

Traveler: For taking X (something large) number of steps.

Pokemon Master: Self-explanatory

Breeder: Having X amount of eggs hatch from owned Pokemon. (This is rolling with the Daycare idea)

Pro Trainer: Completing X number of battles without losing once.

Pokemon Expert: Seen over X amount of Pokemon.

Collector: Caught over X amount of Pokemon.

Coordinator: Won X amount of Pokemon Contests. (Rolling with the Pokemon Contests Idea)

Eevee[Insert Pokemon] Maniac: Caught X number of Y Pokemon.

Socialite: Have X number of friends.

Etc.

Or have a group that you can only get after completing certain quests. The player could receive the Title from the quest giver, or get a message from Mom/Professor/Whatever about it.

That would be a cool thing to add as well, however, considering your character wouldn't exactly be expressing much dialogue. Maybe it would only be for aesthetic purposes?

   

Hm...maybe if we get a couple quests that are more...dialogue oriented?

NPC: "Whad you say?"

You:
-->Repeat previous sentence
-->Say nothing
-->Act confused
-->Cuss NPC out

The rock/bush shadows in the first picture. They indicate that the sun is hitting them at an angle, but the other trees indicate that the sun is hitting them from directly above. (It's a small gripe, but it might help overall.)

*Forest shadows may need to be larger

I'm unsure if this refers to below in that you're already aware of it. :\

Another thing I noticed was with the Christmas trees in the second picture. (In both actually, but it's more noticeable in the second)

If you look at the trees to the left of the Pokemon Center, you can clearly see vertical lines running in between them. I figured it was the shadows and squished branches that caused this. The branches towards the bottom look cutoff (or really, really close to it), but I think the easiest way to fix it is to just somehow complete the tree's shadows.
