There are not as many newer gaming fansites which utilize the power of HTML5 and CSS3 techniques. Some of the more popular gaming titles such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts have a devoted following. A large fan base will accompany forums and other online message boards - but this isn't always the most successful CMS solution. In this tutorial I want to demonstrate how we can build a simple retro Pokemon fansite layout using some newer CSS3 tricks. To keep the template fairly simple I haven't included any extra jQuery effects. Although admittedly there is plenty of room for such a system of dropdown menus or sliding panels on the home page. Additionally I've included a few sprite resources ripped from the first 2 generation games.
