Name Violation

I thought if they chose the "template upgrade" (fiendish, celestial) that those still granted the skill bonus.
I may be completely wrong tho
Improved familiars otherwise use the rules for regular familiars, with two exceptions: if the creature’s type is something other than animal, its type does not change; and improved familiars do not gain the ability to speak with other creatures of their kind (although many of them already have the ability to communicate).
It doesn't say the skill bonus doesn't apply, just that it doesn't gain speak with animals
