I looked at a couple of your reviews and read the EV guide so here are some things I noticed :
The EV guide is solid, but you did not write a guide, you simply gave explanations on the topic. To improve it you should add the most common pixelmon and tell people a few hints on how they can effectively EV train.
For example : Shellder gives 1 Defense EV, so take a couple of dirt blocks (or grass) and create a plattform in an ocean biome, best if you cannot see any other land, you should get lots of Shellder to spawn there and you can EV train defense easily.
Also on to the EXP share you talk about EV training two pokemon at the same time, and you mention that it is hard to EV train lower level pokemon, maybe you should note somewhere that you can use a high level pokemon that is EV trained or simply a filler pokemon, to EV train a lower lvl pokemon with the EXP share until it is strong enough to EV train on it's own.
Moving on about your guides, they seem solid, sadly abilities are not in the game yet and you worked around it well, but you do have some mistakes, I didn't look through all of them but one thing I noticed was in Arcanine guides that you say Flare Blitz doesn't deal Recoil dmg which is wrong even if it doesn't do that at the moment, I don't think it is right to advice people to use broken attacks. Also you talk about superior priority which he only gains through his move "Extremespeed" which is not in the game yet.
Also in the Magneton guide you tell people about Hidden Power Fire, without IV breeding it is pretty much impossible to get the desired Hidden Power, just getting the right nature is often difficult enough already. So you should touch on that maybe. Of course I don't know about the server you are talking about, maybe you are allowed to set all your IV to the desired numbers.
Overall you seem to do a pretty good job, and all sets look solid on it's own. To improve it furthermore maybe add a little section where you talk about good team combinations since you mention their weakness. Like suggesting for your Special Arcanine set to use him in a Sunny Day team to get instant Solar Beams and things like that. After all there is a good number of Grass pokemon who can use sunny day and therefore deal well with Arcanine counters too.
