Hey there. I think i will take you up on a banner....the first style is perfect.
As per the background, I actually like what you've got going with the black background and green text (just a bit bolder if ya could) and saying "Lanturn Core".
Just that and the pokes....nice and easy
Abra, Ursaring, Yanma, Nidoran F, Voltorb, a shiny Shellgon, and a Green Chinchou, though just go ahead and use the shiny version.
Thanks!
