~Just the Classics~ Original 151 Fan Club

[deoxys121]

Alright, all points have been updated. miltankRancher, your shiny upgrade is complete.
ikaroschase, very impressive userbars. They have been added to the OP and points given. I especially like the Magikarp/Gyarados one.

Personally, I think blue (normal) Gyarados looks better than shiny Gyarados.

Speaking of shinies, here's a new topic: Which of the original 151 do you think has the best shiny design?
For me, I personally LOVE the following shinies:

Black Charizard, what more could you ask for?
Butterfree looks amazing with those green eyes.
Gastly's blue gas looks great, much better in comparison to the shiny forms of its evolutions.
And last but not least, ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GOLDEN MAGIKARP!!!

Which of the original 151 do you think has the best shiny design?

there are so many o_________o i guess i'll choose six (: i noticed i like blue ones ><



EDIT: if i really have to choose one it would either be charizard or eevee (:

[miltankRancher]

charizard really for the win.



he is my most favorite shiny!

[ikaroschase]

aww the shiny charizard icons are so cute >< /melts

oh and for the classic profile designer contest, i really wanted to go with charmeleon because i like its reddish tinge a lot (: but deoxys121 has already used the charmander evolution line and i don't feel it right to do so. *high five* fellow charmander evolution line supporter :P i'll go with something else but i'm not sure what yet though :/

[AlexOzzyCake]

Is the profile contest still open to enter? If so, I'd like to participate. ^^ Just working on the signature still, but it shall be finished by tonight. ^^

As for the topic, my favourite shiny Pokemon design from Gen I is probably shiny Cloyster, that thing looks awesome! It manages to keep its fury and power whilst holding a shade of beauty and calm; and excellent mixture in my mind!



Edit: Signature is now done too, all ready! ^^

Mm. I just edited my Signature a few days and hoped to keep it like that xD I think I'll pass on this event this time. lol Thanks for the offer though! Am looking forward to see how it all turn out though!

[ikaroschase]

hey sector revenge you could always save your signature coding as a notepad file, after which you can restore after the event (:

[deoxys121]

Sector Revenge, Ninetales is one Pokemon we discussed here as having been revived in popularity in Generation V due to receiving a DW ability. If you want to look back on other topics to see what we have discussed and possibly add to the conversations, feel free to do so!

I will do that sometime. Drought! <3 I use Drought Ninetales as my Sunny Day party (Hint: my signature lol). Important member of the team.

Anyway I wanted to add some Generation 1 Photos you might be interested to take a look at:
Ignore the Umbreon hiding in the first picture however..

My laptop won't go into Windows for some odd reason and gives me some weird error system failure. Instead I use HP QuickWeb to get on and chat and been using it for a while. Much easier. I could go save it and send my an email xD Anyway, back on topic here...lol

'Zard is one of the best shinies out there (even outside the first 151), no question.

Other contenders for top shinies of Gen I (only IMO):




Unfortunately, I think Dragonite has gone the other way in terms of awesomeness... poop green doesn't fit dragonite at ALL.

I agree! it looks more like vomit green rather than poop.



i love this pic! All the iconic gen 1 pokemon is here!

[Jayster23]

Shiny Charizard is just the best shiny out.
Makes it look like a Shadow of Charizard


I mean look at it! It's so epic!

Other good looking Shinies are:






And this legendary beast

Shiny Rapidash gives it a more fearsome look. Give it red eyes and it should be fire ghost

[ikaroschase]

hey guys (: banner for the club :P
but i don't know what font to use :/ any suggestions?


[ignore my noob manga colourng skills]

[Jayster23]

That Banner looks good as :D

I'm not that good with fonts but go for a classic type of font, also make sure it's readable.
Like i said i'm not that good with fonts. So i probably won't be much help.

[ikaroschase]

lol i tried but i don't think it turned out that well :/



@jayster could you give me some examples of classic fonts? (:

[Jayster23]

I don't know my fonts that well, Try going classy and olden as this is the Classic First Gen were talking.

[ikaroschase]

okay i'll try finding some suitable ones (:
btw how does this look? :/

[Jayster23]

That actually looks quite good.
Try another 3 or so fonts you think would go well and Compare them.

I seriously wish i had artistic talents so i could contribute :/

[ikaroschase]

so this is the comparison (: erm... vote anyone? :D
