Approved: Pokémon Design Contest GT11

[Palkia]

This pokémon design contest will be focused on many areas where participants fill in basic infomation. They then draw/explain the design of the Pokémon for their entry. Then me and 2/3 other judges judges (I'm looking for some judges, post if interested) will give ratings for psychical design, battle potential, creative pokedex entry and reference to the hoenn region. I'm panning for these rating to be out for 10 except for the last one which will only be out of 5.

I've been thinking of having a theme like last year where it was Pokémon designed around the Kalos region; perhaps do one about the Hoenn region?

Planned Rules
- No Legendary Pokémon
- No evolutions or baby formes for existing pokémon, you need to make something 100% new
- If the Pokémon has new moves/abilities/types, explain them.
- Optional: Add evolutions or pre-evolutions to your entry. They won't be judged, so this is just for fun

Application Form Draft
Username: Full Pokécommunity Username
Pokémon Name: The name of the Pokémon that the participant has designed. Optionally explain the origin of it's name.
Type: Pokémon type. If the type is created by the participant please explain it's weaknesses and strengths.
Ability: Pokémon ability. If the Pokémon has a new ability, explain it.
Moveset: Describe how each move that the Pokémon will learn via levelling up, as well via TMs and HMs. If there are new moves, explain them.
Stats: Base Pokémon stats.
Design: Describe or draw via pixel art or drawing the Pokémon's design.
Pokédex Entry: Create 2 mock pokémon entries

I need help with the CSS of the thread as well as judges.

As far as themes go, I think Hoenn is an excellent idea! ORAS is right around our current, and with that, we've got a lot of hype going on; if you ask me, this could definitely help make this event a success. Though, there's another design contest going on right here in regards to the region, so if you guys do go with it, it might wind up affecting that one in some aspect. If you guys want to avoid this, you'd probably be better off going with something else; personally, I'd suggest Kanto. We could do Kalos, which is our newest region, but it had already been done last year already, hasn't it? If it's repeated, I'm not sure if it'd give us the same, exact feeling, so to speak.

I'd love to help judge this! I've hosted the past few Pokemon Design Contests so if you need help with some aspects, I'd be happy to oblige as well n_n

If you're unable to find candidates for judging from inside this forum or outside, an Event Volunteering thread will be posted at a later date for events without judges, so don't stress yourself out looking if you can't find anyone. :)

As far as the theme, I don't know about that. Hoenn would be the optimal choice, but the fact there's another event with Hoenn as its focus makes me think that this could probably use something different to distinguish it, you know? Then again, the style of the contests are different: Mega Evolutions of current Pokemon as opposed to a brand new Pokemon that's based on the region. The differences are major enough, aren't they?

I'm up for changing it to a Pokémon based on Sinnoh or Kalos is there will be confusion.

In the end it's ultimately up to you. I'm not too worried if some of these events are related in theme. You just pick something you think will be fun.

 

[Palkia]

I think that the Hoenn region would cause confusion but it will join the hype for the Gen 3 Remakes. I think it's ideal. Now, I need some help with CSS. Anyone?

(Tried out drafting the OP, any good?)

Try describing what the "Hoenn" theme means; creating a Pokemon that fits the tropical, humid, and heavily vegetative environments of Hoenn. Perhaps suggest they pick a specific location in Hoenn to inspire their Pokemon's origin and creation. For instance the Hoenn desert wouldn't be appropriate for a Pokemon that could thrive in its oceans. :p
