Pokémon-Amie
Photography Contest
Hello, and welcome!
Welcome to XY's first ever Pokémon-Amie Photography Contest! Here, our primary objective is to capture various pictures of any one Pokémon we choose using the newly-introduced Amie feature, and show them off to our community. Eventually, when we have gathered enough entries, we will then proceed to voting round, and let PC decide which set of screens we like best. The winner will be awarded a special emblem, and so will all participants. This event is here mainly for us to have fun, so if we're taking part, let us please enjoy. Without further ado, here are our guidelines!
How will entries be judged?
Once we submit our screens, they will be put into a new thread for voting where we all get to choose our favorites. During then, it would be mandority to state proper reasoning behind our selection, while putting all of these aspects such as positioning, posing, and so forth into consideration.
so, what are our rules?
If we would like to take part in this event, let's please take a moment to read the following rules.

- Let's try our best to enjoy and have fun!

I'd like to enter, but how do you take a screenshot of amie in X/Y? I thought you couldn't.

You'd have to use a phone or a camera to take the picture of the screen and then upload it to something like imgur or Photobucket so you can post it here.

I guess I'll be the first to officially sign up for this. It seems pretty fun and I wish everyone that joins luck!

Would using the Miiverse screen shot function work? as that would have better quality than taking a picture of the screen.

Any way that you can get the pictures onto here will do. I just used phones/cameras as an example.

You can't take screenshots via Miiverse with Pokémon XY/ORAS, unfortunately. You have to mod your 3DS/2DS to take them. :/

Pendraflare February 2nd, 2015 4:28 PM

*has a capture modded 3DS*

Can this be done on ORAS or does it have to be XY? Not that i'm opposed to that; I do have plenty of Pokémon on X that I could do this with.

IggyKoopa February 2nd, 2015 4:43 PM

Quick tip to photographers: if you don't want blurry photos, hold your camera a little farther from the screen and then either zoom or crop. Often times the camera can't focus on something so close -- the minimum focus length on mine with the kit lens is something like 12 inches IIRC.

Ultraman287 February 3rd, 2015 5:48 AM

Ah man, i cant post a link now. 😪

I suppose you could do it on either one....wouldn't really look any different if you did it on X/Y or ORAS.

icycatelf February 3rd, 2015 10:05 AM

The OP says "various pictures of any one Pokémon we choose," but what's the minimum/maximum number of photos per user?

Also, suppose we take a completed Tile Puzzle picture (like Fun Size did) and include different Pokémon in the background. For instance, the focal point is Lapras while Omastar and Gastrodon are in the background. Would that be acceptable, or would all Pokémon in the photo have to be the same species?

NeoTheCelestrian February 4th, 2015 1:10 PM

Question, will the Poképuff have little if any effect on scores, along with visiting pokémon?

CountessGardevoir February 4th, 2015 3:26 PM

Question: What's the best way to take a near-perfect photo?

Maximum number of photos is 3 per person, keep all the species the same.

You can use any aspect of Pokemon-Amie you want. It's more of an artistic contest than anything.

Does this help or.....?

Hope this one is cute enough - it always melts my heart from overcuteness every time it spins around with it's paws on the right side. It was the closest I could get without it being too blurry - spinning around my camera seems to get it a bit blurry.

(3 pics)

if you wanna take pics of Furret here are some tips:
Spoiler:
*have it always smiling
*Having the entire tail(especially the tip of the tail) visible. its a big part of Furret's cuteness
*have Furret's head slightly tilted to one side. makes Furret more cute that way
Hope that helps :)

Alright so the entry period is now over and the voting round will begin! So get voting people!

The voting phase will last until February 22nd.

EDIT: 'K I ADDED A POLL GUYS. Make sure to vote in the poll cuz that's how I'm gonna tally the votes fer this. You can also post too if you like.

Psychic February 15th, 2015 9:58 AM

In the first post, it says a new thread will be made for voting, so will there be a poll we can vote in or something, or should we just post our votes in this thread? Also, has everybody been accepted? I ask because the maximum number of photo entries is 3, and there are more than 3 Froakie photos. :x

Oh yeah it does say that. But I don't wanna make a new thread, but I can add a poll to this one so I'ma do that.

As for the Froakie pictures, just go by the first 3 that ya see.

Lycanthropy February 16th, 2015 11:40 AM

There are a lot of awesome pictures here, voting for a winner is really hard.

Nah February 22nd, 2015 5:39 AM

Only a few hours left to vote! Poll closes at 1PM UTC-5 so get your votes in gogogo!

Hikamaru February 22nd, 2015 6:22 AM

I'm voting for Gogoat Rocks! for her adorable Furret pics, because I think it's definitely one of the best Pokemon to pet in Pokemon Amie with its utterly cute expressions.

Good luck to everyone else as well!

Nah February 22nd, 2015 1:57 PM

Ok so....we had a 4-way tie between Fun Size, Nekochen, Gogoat, and Pendraflare when the poll closed @[email protected]

So that means that I had to make the tie breaking vote.....which is a little hard cuz they were good entries.

But in the end I decided to go with Nekochen and Sableye.

So congratulations to Nekochen for winning the first Pokemon Amie Photography contest!

....you will all get yer emblems sometime

Nekochen February 22nd, 2015 3:16 PM

Woah what? Was totally not expecting that actually. Thank you guys! this makes me really happy. I even used the sableye I caught when I started the game c: I knew he was special~

I wanted to say I liked a lot of other people entries as well! Their were so many adorable pictures you guys entered!

Hikamaru February 22nd, 2015 8:27 PM

I have to admit that while Gogoat's Furret entry was super-adorable, it's been proved a Sableye can be extremely cute as well. Congrats on your well-deserved win Neko!

Nekochen February 22nd, 2015 9:04 PM

Thanks Hikamaru! I always thought sableye were adorable ♡

I would have to say my favorite was dyingwillflareon and rattata. I always had a soft spot for rattata omg. They are too cute.

Congrats Nekochen! Too bad I missed the results the day they came out. XD

Honestly I voted for FunSize and Goomy, that was really cute. I also liked Mew, Togekiss, Furret, and Sableye.~

Aw thanks Will! I appreciate that you voted for me. :) I have to agree with Nekochen, your Rattata was pretty top percentage :P. Especially that first pic, that was just too cute.


BTW great job Nekochen! You really deserve that win. :)
