The pink thing is tricky. People who aren't in the subculture can sometimes be a step or two behind the trends, or, as I suspect, confusing subgroups (pink is the first thing that springs to my mind with the frilly perfect concept too, but most kids have outgrown that by the time they start writing sues). Now, the whole goth/emo (there's a distinction, but for the life of me, I keep forgetting it) thing is 'in', so the sues are unhappy, abused, oppressed and scarred - at least, until the third paragraph. And happier sues now tend towards light blue, I think...
No, houndoom isn't too popular, I think. It's definitely used, but it's not the pokemon of choice. Conceptually, it's pretty cool, but its character design leaves a bit to be desired (actually, most of the dark types seem to have that problem - murkrow, for example). Umbreon looks better, plus it evolves from the OMG KAWAII eevee.
