Design-a-Pokemon Planning. Help needed!

[Guy]

Thanks, and I wasn't really sure about the prize part. Also, I just took the CSS from Hiroshi's main post.

If okay, I think we should keep it as two now that things are starting to progress farther.
As for the thread, the CSS was good use because like I said it kept the thread more organized.

When you meant about how we need to go in order on each aspect though, what exactly did you mean?

I mean what order would it be easiest to create a Pokemon in.

 

[Blazers]

Shouldn't there be 3 prizes?

 

[Guy]

I mean what order would it be easiest to create a Pokemon in.

The order you have it listed on at the moment for the thread looks pretty solid. I think it should more so be up to the participants on how they would like to start and finish it. As long as they get it completed in time for judging then that is all that should count, correct?

Shouldn't there be 3 prizes?

I looked at the first emblem designs that were made by Cherii, who only created two. So, Kaori and I simply based it off that idea and kept it at two as well. We had to get them done for today though, so we put most of our time in both of them.

What's the difference between a host and a co-host? I think we all signed up to be a host (or an Event Organizer), not anything else.

What's the difference between a host and a co-host? I think we all signed up to be a host (or an Event Organizer), not anything else.

A Co-Host is the same role as a Host of the event, and basically does the samething. Whether you are a host or co-host you still play a role in making this event successful, in which we all are trying to work together and build it up to that point. It is just a title, but nevertheless we are still organizers for this event, in which is what we are currently planning.

So, I wouldn't worry to much in what you are considered but more on getting the event ready before the PokéCommunity Get-Together begins. We've really gotten everything down pack, but like said there is still discussion on how each aspect of the event will be placed.

It should be up to the contestant the order that they complete the challenge, but I still think that we should present it in the order that would be easiest for someone to make a Pokemon.

LGLT pretty much clears that up, but if you want your title changed, feel free to ask and I will comply.

I looked it over, and I think Other Aspects should be brought up more to the beginning where Players choose the name of their Pokémon as well as ability, etc. It seems to be more of an early stage step and will also help when it comes down into actually describing or spriting the Pokémon.

Also, thank you. :)

Please comment with edits. Tommorow I will edit what you think needs to be fixed and post an official thread for it. Tell me how well the colors are, and if all of the Jump to links work. I know I need to edit:

broken hyperlinks
add to keep updated where they are in making the pokemon so the event doesn't become a 'dud'
include when sign ups are, etc.

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 Monday, August 24. Judging will take place from 12:01 PM Monday, August 24 to 7:00 PM Monday, August 24. The winners and places will be announced anytime between 7:01 PM Monday, August 24 and 11:59 PM Monday, August 24. Thank you and have fun!






[A ID]type[/A ID]

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

[A ID]other[/A ID]

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.

[A ID]ability[/A ID]

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 https://serebii.net/games/ability.shtml[URL="https://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:


[A ID]move[/A ID]

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:

[A ID]tm[/A ID]

TMs/HMs

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 https://serebii.net/diamondpearl/tmhm.shtmlhttps://serebii.net/diamondpearl/tmhm.shtml[URL="https://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.

[A ID]egg[/A ID]

Egg Moves/Egg Group

Maximum Points: 10
This will be the 3rd and final moves 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 https://www.serebii.net/pokemon_advance/egg-group.shtmlhttps://www.serebii.net/pokemon_advance/egg-group.shtml[URL="https://www.serebii.net/pokemon_advance/egg-group.shtml"]here[/url], all are pretty self-explanitory.


[A ID]name[/A ID]

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.


[A ID]art[/A ID]

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.

[A ID]stats[/A ID]

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.

There are 6 Stat areas, and each need to be filled out in this format:
HP: /Atk: /Def: /SpA: /SpD: /Spe:


[A ID]dex[/A ID]

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.

Participants

Here is the list of all participants.

 

[Lady Berlitz]

You put two dashes instead of one on the "Design-a-Pokémon team" title. All of the links work, but "Participants" comes after "Example" though the example is above the participants in the actual text (I hope you understood that xD). Lastly, everything that is "Poke" should become "Poké." Sorry if I'm a perfectionist. :P

By the way, if "host" and "co-host" is the same, why not simply make us all hosts?

The kinks are pretty much worked out by deku and the official first thread is completed as you'll see on another thread made. It looks really well done and no worries, we are all considered "hosts" now.

Only a few more days to get things running, so if you want to invite anyone you know to join at the start date, then don't be ashamed as other event hosts are doing so by sign up threads. It'll give our participants a few days extra to get ready, but like deku said if they put in effort into it, then it shouldn't take them all that long to complete.

 

[Lady Berlitz]

Yay. :D I can't wait to see what the participants will come up with. 8)

I'll try to invite as much people as I can.

 

[Gulpin]

Also, we can all judge. I was thinking about the sign-up threads, but I'm not sure if we should do so.

 

[Guy]

Sign Up thread shouldn't be needed now, all members can see the Get-Together thread, except the sub-forum. Plus, the events begin tomorrow, all that needs to be done now is for deku to post the Official Thread onto the forum with the right CSS Coding Hiroshi issued everyone.

However, it is nice to know we all judge though, this should be pretty fun. I'm more interested in seeing the ideas that other members come up with though.
