I really like this retro overlay for the website and I was thinking if in the future Pokemon DB could have a feature for the site to have different styles like this retro one to select.

It would be cool, but I think it would be hard to do...
I like this idea. It's be cool.
We should be able to select the overlay for PokemonDB 1.0 as well!
It'd be difficult from what I understand (not that i understand much). A lot of standard forums work off something called MyBB or XenForo usually or similar things. I.e they work off the same software with overlay options built in and can be customised. The Pokebase was built off Q&A software, which doesn't have the inbuilt customisation. These 'overlays' aren't overlays really but complete from the ground up designs. A lot of it's integrated with the coding.

Tl:dr off the current software it's very unlikely

I just commented in another post. This is actually quite difficult to do because we "cache" all the pages on the main site, which means we save the page as it's generated and show the exact same thing to everyone.

Might be able to find a solution using JavaScript though... watch this space.
