Came up with this idea after filling a request.

This tutorial is to make text look like the Pokemon logo in Photoshop. This is the result:

Before launching Photoshop, install this font: http://www.dafont.com/pokemon.font

Once it's installed, type the text you want with the font Pokemon Solid. Use this hex color: ffcb05

After typing the text, set the inner shadow to these variables: The color should be #000000 on Multiply (this is default, leave it alone). Set the angle to 90 degrees. Set opacity to 30%. Set the distance to 5 pixels (change the distance based on the font size, I used 5 pixels for the example which is 105 pixels tall, the smaller the text the less the distance, bigger give more distance). Set the choke to 100% and the size to 0 pixels. It should look like:

Now for the stroke. Change the color to 395da8. The size set to 7 pixels (again, change size based on text size), with the stroke being outside on normal at 100% opacity. It should look like:

Now finally to give it a curve. On the text tool select Warp Text (second to last icon on the top, it looks like a T with a curve underneath). Set the style to Arc and make sure it's horizontal. The bend should be approximately 20%, but it can be changed to how you like it. It should look similar to this:

Hope you Pokemon fans like this :)
