PokeCommunity Get-Together 2009 Design-a-Pokemon Event

Please read the whole thread! Important information is in every paragraph! The Get-Together Design-a-Pokémon Event will take place from 12:00 AM Friday, August 21 to 11:59 PM Monday, August 24, the same time that the PokéCommunity Event Carousel will take place. (These dates are subject to change, as are the official dates for the Event Carousel.) So, lets nosedive into this fun-filled event!


What is the Design-a-Pokemon Event?


At this event participants will decide on their own Pokemon's type, base stats, ability, art (design)/sprite, moveset, name, egg moves/egg group, TM's/HM's, dex entry, and others. Everyone will participate by themsevels, and must try their best to complete each area. You will learn more as you continue reading.

The Design-a-Pokemon team

These are the people that helped put this event together. Without them, this thread wouldn't be here right now.

Prizes

Yes, for competing and earning a notable place, participants will recieve a prize. As of now, the prize will be an emblem. You will get an emblem for how well you do. If in the top two, you will get an emblem. We will keep the emblem a surprize untill you become the winner


1st - 1st Place Emblem
2nd - 2nd Place Emblem

How it will work

I will put sections, like these ones, for each aspect of the Design-a-Pokemon Contest. I will include tips on what to do in each section, and what to do if you can't complete a certain area. Also, I will hint how each section will be judged. Every aspect must be completed. The aspects are: Type, Ability, Moveset, Name, Egg Moves/Egg Group, Art (Design)/Sprite, TMs/HMs, Base Stats, Dex Entry, and Other Aspects. Each will be worth a maximum of 10 points, and depending on what area a set minimum and maximum bonus. Be sure to post here with updates about your Pokemon! Sign ups will take place from 12:00 AM Friday, August 21 to 11:59 PM Saturday, August 22. You may complete and turn in your Pokemon anytime between when you sign up and 12:00 PM Sunday, August 23. Judging will take place from 12:01 PM Sunday, August 23 to 12:00 PM Monday, August 24. The winners and places will be announced anytime between 12:01 PM Monday, August 24 and 11:59 PM Monday, August 24. Thank you and have fun!

Type

Maximum Points: 10

First, to start making your own Pokemon you need to decide on a type. There are 17 types, and a ton of different combonations. You can choose just one type, or you can mix and match and come up with a duo-type Pokemon. Be creative!

Types:
Normal
Fire
Water
Grass
Electric
Ice
Fighting
Poison
Ground
Flying
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Dark
Steel

Other Aspects

Maximum Points: 10

These are the small other things that need to be filled out. I will make a small section in this larger section for each smaller aspect.

Gender Ratio: What percentage of these Pokemon are male? Female?
Classification: Is your Pokemon a Big Jaw Pokemon like Totodile? Or a Fire Mouse Pokemon like Cyndaquil?
Height: How tall is your Pokemon?
Weight: How much does your Pokemon generally weigh?
Evolution: Is your Pokemon an evolution or pre evolution of an existing Pokemon? If so put it here and how/at what level they evolve. If not just put N/A in this slot.

Ability

Maximum Points: 10

Once you have a type, you will need to give your Pokemon an ability. There are a total of 124 abilities, listed [URL="http://www.serebii.net/games/ability.shtml"]here[/URL]. Have the ability reflect the Pokemon that you have in mind, the Pokemon's type, and every other aspect of your Pokemon. If you don't see an ability that will work with your Pokemon, you can create an ability by filling out this form:

Name:
Effect:

Moveset

Maximum Points: 10

Now your Pokemon needs moves. Every Pokemon learns certain moves at certain times. You need to make a list of moves that your Pokemon learns and at what time they learn that move. Be realistic; don't have you Fire type Pokemon learn only Water type moves. Give your Pokemon a good movepool, and have fun. If you so wish, you can create a signature move for your Pokemon, which is the last move it learns. To make a signature move you must fill in this form:

Attack Name:
Type:
Category:
Attack:
Accuracy:
PP:
Description:

TM's/HM's

Maximum Points: 10

Now that your Pokemon has level up moves, now it needs it's learned moves. This is very simple. There are 100 TM's and HM's 92 of which are TM's, the other 8 are HM's. A list of TM's and HM's can be found [URL="http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/tmhm.shtml"]here[/URL]. Just click the link and go through the list and write down what TM's and HM's your Pokemon could have. Be realistic! Don't let your Pokemon be able to learn all TM's and HM's. Don't have your Rock typed Pokemon learn Fly. It is fairly simple.

Egg Moves/Egg Group

Maximum Points: 10

This will be the 3rd and final set ofmoves that you will give your Pokemon. These are moves that your Pokemon will not normally learn through evolution or TM's or HM's. Think of a minimum of 5 moves and a maximum of 10. Be creative about the moves you give your Pokemon. Why not have your Electric Pokemon be able to learn a Ghost move. Have fun! Also, whilst thinking about Egg Moves, why don't we include an Egg Group. Have your Pokemon's Egg Group(s) make sence, please. There are 14 egg groups, listed [URL="http://www.serebii.net/pokemon_advance/egg-group.shtml"]here[/URL], all are pretty self-explanitory.

Name

Maximum Points: 10

Now that you are almost finished with your Pokemon, it needs a key aspect that every Pokemon has: a name. Try to be as creative and as original as you can be! This area is really simple, but still a key part.

Art/Sprite

Maximum Points: 10

Now it is time to design your own Pokemon! Have it look like it would, considering everything else. If your Pokemon has superior defence, then you could make it look like it has a hard outer-covering. Also, if your Pokemon is Fire type, don't make it have raindrops on its body. Be realistic! You don't have to do both the Art and the Sprite, just either or. We won't judge on your art skills, just if you do it! If you absolutley can't turn in a Sprite or a piece of art depicting your Pokemon, then write a well-detailed description (with at least 4 lines). If you can draw/sprite, then you don't have to turn in both, unless you want to wow us! You can also turn in a shiny version or description, telling us the different colors.

Base Stats

Maximum Points: 10

Base Stats are the stats a Pokemon has when it is level 100 without any EV's no IV's, and no stat enhancements. Sound's confusing? Not really. Is your Pokemon defence-oriented? Then have it's highest stats in Defence or Special Defence. Is your Pokemon like Chancey? Then give it a jaw-dropping amount of HP. If your Pokemon is an evolution or pre-evolution of an existing Pokemon, then go to that Pokemon's Dex page on Serebii, and make your Pokemon stats a little higher or lower, respectively. Also, try to be reasonable. Don't make your Spiritomb pre-evo have base stats of 1000/1000/1000/1000/1000/1000.

Dex Entry

Maximum Points: 10

Now that you are finished with your Pokemon, it needs to have a PokeDex entry, somthing that every Pokemon has. For example, here is Gallade's official PokeDex entry, courtesy of Pokemon.com:

"A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, it fights using extended swords on it's elbows."

As you can see the Dex entry is short and sweet, so you don't have to do anything too elaborate.

Example

Here is how we would like you to present your completed Pokemon:

Just remember everyone, the more you do from what we gave you the better as it shows us your hard work and how well the design and detail of your Pokmon came out in their different aspects. Each aspect that is judged upon is worth points, and the more you do the higher your points go.

Remember you still have all four days to get your Pokémon completed so there is still time to already work on what you are doing. Good luck to everyone, and have fun with it. Also, to upcoming participants, Sign-Ups are still open until 11:59pm tomorrow. :)

Remember, it doesn't really matter so much if your spriting or drawing/sketching skills are "good" or not, but it matters how well you put together the Pokémon. If it's base stats and description are reasonable, and you at least came up with a good concept on the design, then that'll give you some points. ;)

EDIT: By the way, deku, the top of your main post says "[%gettogether-linklist%]."

^This. We aren't judging on how your sprite looks, but more so on how well you put everything together. Also, if you think you aren't going to be able to do a sprite for your Pokémon, then you can always describe it in writing. The more original you get the more points you will earn, so just do your best and use your imagination.

This is great, more members to join, it'll be fun. ^_^
