7/10.
Not bad, I've seen worse. Much, much, much worse. You should try to get the right fonts, though. Don't ask me where, though, as I have no idea. I think it's some sort of closely guarded secret.

Also, you shouldn't title your thread "fake cards" if you only have one card. :P

EDIT: The above was posted when he had one card. So shut up.

Yeah I know, I gotta fix some stuff. I'm gonna try using Gill Sans for the font. expect th card to be fixed soon! With a new background!

Well, try looking at a tutorial to find the right font- it's a lot easier than trying random ones and seeing what works.

I didn't say that I could do better, just that the background looked out of place. Generally, when Nintendo slaps Sugimori's art on a card, they try to make the background fit the Pokemon. Prinplup DP is a good example. Try to do that. All you need to do is go on Google Image Search, find a picture, then run it through a bunch of filters.

It's very similar to your previous one. Something you should do is compare your cards with actual cards, preferably placing them side by side.

Scan credit to Pokebeach. Let's see what we can find!

-Regice's Attack text is double spaced. On real cards, however, this text is cramped together for extra room. Same goes for the flavor text.
-On Regice's Pokemon data, the text stretches out the entire width of the line. On real cards, this text is much more cramped (again). The same goes for the artist credits (which is also in italics)
-On Regice's Pokedex entry, the text is the same font as the attack text, and is double spaced. On real cards, it's a different font, cramped, and italicized.

But hey, we live and learn. I'd like to see your next one.

Yeah I know, I'm new at this. It is not double spaced it is just the font. Still trying to find the right font.

I like those cards. pretty cool! 8/10

Thank you! But the truth is that my cards suck. Try pointing out what is wrong with them next time.

Pretty good. Much better than my first fakes were. I do see some errors, though.

REGIGIGAS: The font for the attack names (maybe Pokemon name, too) should be Gill Sans Condensed BOLD. I think the Pokemon's name needs to be a little larger (maybe +1). The flavor text (description) should be ITALIC. Also, the illustrator text should be smaller. Within the Poke-Power, during is mispelled suring, there needs to be a space after turn, and "(before you attack)" should be "(before your attack)" in ITALIC.

REGICE: It has a few typing errors (like FLip a coin & Ifnheads). Benched and Defending should be capitalized. Again, the flavor text should be ITALIC and illustrator text should be smaller to fint in the bar. The retreat cost isn't centered. The card is just poor quality (which you can't help with certain programs).

Pretty darn good for a beginner. You'll make a great faker if you keep at it and read some tutorials.

You're getting there. Unfortunately, there's still a few kinks- namely, the fonts. First, the "Put onto Dusknoir" text should be italicized. As for the attack text, use Gill Sans- and stop double spacing.

As for the card itself, Spiritual Grip seems like a weird effect. When a Pokemon is paralyzed, it can't attack or retreat- so what difference would it make if, on the second heads, the opponent would not be able to attack? Also, Soul Snatch is the most broken attack I've ever seen. :D

As for the picture, something that a lot of the Lv. X's do is place part of the picture inside the box, with part of the Pokemon outside of the box, rather than pasting the picture over the box. It gives the image much more of a "pop".

Oh yeah, apparantly Kougawolf's site (http://kougawolf.tripod.com/) has a collection of fonts, and more. Check it out.
