    Hello! My name is Chelsey and I will be reviewing your website as of today. (:

    Site Name: At first, I was confused by your site name. "What is a Swalot? How come it sounds so familiar?" Then, it hit me. I used to be a huge Pokemon fan as a child. The name is very creative, very nostalgic and very unique. I like it. (: Good job with naming it--why did you pick to name it "Swalots-Avenue"?

    First Impression: I love the website formatting! It seems very simple, clean and professional. The colors seemed to match perfectly in unison. However, there are two things that caught my attention that I didn't like as much. First, I don't think that the Swalot in the header / banner should be that small. If you want to include a Swalot, make it larger so that it's easier to identify. When the Swalot is that tiny, it feels more like a distraction than a part of the header / banner. Secondly, in the footer, there are still some links that say "Link Link Link Link", etc. I think it would be better off to either remove them or change them to "Apply?"

    Video Games:
    Black and White: From my understanding, Pokemon Black/White is not out yet (this is when having a brother comes in handy, haha). Therefore, the link just leads to a pound (#) key after the original URL. Instead of just leaving that link leading to nowhere, I think that you should lead it to a page that says something along the lines of, "Please check back shortly when Pokemon Black/White is released", or something like that. This way, it isn't as confusing; because at first, I thought my computer refused to load the page.
    Heart Gold and Soul Silver: This page is very well organized and very informational. I applaud you for that! I like how you posted information about what each event is and where to find the players in the game. I actually really like it--when my brother decides to purchase Heart Gold and Soul Silver, I'll tell him to visit your site! It's quite impressive. (:
    Platinum: This page was also very neatly organized. I did not contain as much information as Heart Gold and Soul Silver, but it was still a very nice page. Good job.
    Diamond and Pearl: This page is like the "Black and White" page. It doesn't have a particular link it links to. Maybe you should link it to a 404 Error page.
    Leaf Green and Fire Red: This page doesn't have as much information as Heart Gold and Soul Silver or Diamond and Pearl. However, that shouldn't affect anything too much because (if I am correct,) it is an older game that not many people still use all the time anymore.
    Emerald: Same thing--this page doesn't have a link. Like a suggested above, add a 404 Error page.
    Pokemon Rumble: I don't exactly know what Pokemon Rumble is, but it seems as if your page is neatly organized and provides plenty useful information. I don't have much insight on this page because I do not know it very well.

    Animes
    Characters: Currently, your only Anime character is Ash Ketchum. I am assuming that this page is currently under construction (because the whole site is currently under a huge revamp) I love the information about Ash, however. It is very detailed and some Pokemon fans might be really interested in it. Good job with the article on Ash. (:
    TV Shows: I am assuming that this page is also under construction. However, in your link, you listed it as "TV Shows", while you are actually summarizing the TV Shows. Maybe somewhere, you should point out that they are actually summaries, not the shows themselves--and that if the visitor hasn't watched the episode yet, there may be a spoiler alert!
    Movies: Another page without a link.

    Other:
    Articles: I read the article and it's not bad. It seems like you put quite a fair amount of effort into it. You should continue writing more articles--some visitors may be very interested in them!
    Music: I never knew that you could purchase CDs of Pokemon Music! That's actually kind of cool. I notice that your playlist is currently empty--probably under construction as well. However, when you manage to get all your music up, don't forget to include a "Disclaimer" stating that the music is not yours and you are using them only for entertainment or educational purposes only! (Just in case)

    Reviews:
    Applicant Status: This seems fairly self-explanatory. The only suggestion I make is that you put them in order. For example, put the ones you are reviewing before the ones that are labeled under "Hiatus". This way, it'll seem slightly more organized.
    Application: This is fairly self-explanatory as well. The only thing I recommend is putting some more "Required" fields, like make "Site URL" required. You want to try to reduce spam as much as possible.
    Rubric: Your rubric seems very well rounded! I am sure that your applicants will receive very detailed and helpful critiques from you!
    Rules: It is good that you limit your reviewing service with a few rules. Your rules all seem very good. Maybe you should add that the review is just your opinion only, and if the review is slightly negative, the user shouldn't be disappointed--but think of it as an opportunity to improve.

    Site
    I briefly looked over all of the content under the "Site" category. You have organized them very well and your "Credits" list seems very honest. Overall, it is very good. It's rare when site owners put that much effort into information about their site. You, however, did I very good job. (:

    News and Updates
    Seems like a blog! It is very neatly organized with concise thumbnails that illustrate the blog topic. I like how you put little "Previews" of each blog entry and added a "Read more?" link to it. That is very clever and will allow any reader to skip automatically to their topic of interest instead of searching through archives. It was smart to put that there. (:

    Final Thoughts, Suggestions and Overview
    If I have to make one last quick suggestion, I would just like you to know that cbox actually isn't a chatbox, but more like a "Leave a comment" sort of thing. It doesn't update regularly like a normal chatbox should. If you were looking for an actual chatbox, I suggest Chatango or Shoutbox.
    Otherwise, I thought your site was pretty good, overall! I enjoyed reviewing your site and I look forward to revisiting it again after your revamp! Looks good so far. ;)
    I rated your site a 3.5 out of 5. Good job!
