    Pokemon [person] Snap, Anime Version



    Well, me and Skip Shot happen to be hosts of the Snap Event for the anime persons. I think I've decided and I think we should have two kinds of snaps, each running for 2 days :


    • Day I : Funniest DP Scene.
    • Day II : A Tear Joking Johto / Indigo / Orange Islands Snap.
    • Day III : ADV. / Battle Frontier Glory FTW
    • Final Day : Unique Winners' Competition !!
    Just as you guys, we happen to be humans. So, even if you are not a host, come here and drop your ideas too.
    Also, the most important thing about this :

    The Rules - So Far

    Okay, so. To make it clear, we have a few rules.

    • All PC Get Together Rules apply.
    • Consequently, all PC Rules apply.
    • Get all yer screenies at livejournal . If you have your own episodes, snap the with your camera. Just make sure they're acceptable as quality.
    • If you lose on one of the first days (we'll announce the winner at the end of the day (when I come and say "ENDS")) you are allowed to participate on the other days !
    • Have fun on this contest ! :P
    • Respect the above.

    Hosts & all that jazz ~


    Hosts : 560cool., Skip Shot (checked)
    Staff Supervisor : Hiiro (we're good here, too)
    Judges : 560cool. , Hiiro, Skip Shot (seems like there's three persons into this as a whole :O)
    ____________________________________

    Ideas so far ?!


    We will make three competitions, one per day (listed in the first post). We will secretly judge based under a number of Rules and we'll decide first laces for all three events : they'll advance and get an emblem. Don't worry : If you participate, you still get an emblem.
    ____________________________________
    If I want to compete, how will I be able to get snaps ?!


    Well, me and Hiiro have been contemplating. You see, various sites have photo resources. Your best shot would be livejournal (kudos to TwilightBlade).


    Oh, on a sidenote, if you made the yourself, when you sign up, just put it in. It'll be a lot easier

    I like what you have already 560. What I suggest doing for those that do submit is that they should enter in the episode that the snapshot was from, so that we can confirm that it wasn't altered or anything, and ensure that the submission is 100% accurate with info.

    Also 2 days is a long time to find a snapshot off of the internet. How about 4 one-day competitions, with the winner each day getting a prize?

    Another good thing that you can do for locating pictures is to watch episodes online or on your TV if you have them, take a picture with your camera, and then submit it online. Some episodes can be viewed at https://www.pokemon.com Go to the animation section, and view the videos if you like. Currently, up to Season 4, Epiode 18 is there. "The Trouble with Snubbull!"

    I can also Judge this competition as well, if that's alright with Hiiro.

    Skip brings up a good point here. For proof of image authenticity, I say we make this part of the requirements - that and the location in which they got their image. Which also makes me think, do we have some of the things we want to place in our first post as of yet?

    I like this idea. Just putting my thoughts on it, but possibly we could have one day with one winner, the second day with another winner, and the third day with a final winner. On the 4th day we hold one more challenging category with the top three winners competing for the final prize. Possibly an emblem, which I won't mind working on, if that's alright with you guys?

    Though, you guys might have something different in mind on how you want to hold the event?

    Yeah, like I was saying earlier, clicking on the "random" link on Bulbagardens could get quite tedious for some. Though, there are other ways of obtaining tons of screen caps from the anime. Google is a great resourse to start with along with the official site. Possibly finding some great sources with Anime Screen Caps will be great to provide on the first post.

    Also, Skip it's perfectly alright if you want to be the third judge. This way we'll basically have our team complete. n_n
     
    I don't mean to interrupt, but livejournal has plenty of screencaps imo.

    Thanks for that Blade. We can post all of the available resources in the first post to give people some help if they need it.

    Definitely resources like I said above in response to Blade. Uhh as far as CSS and stuff like that goes I have pretty much no knowledge, but I could try and ask around. Would a Pokemon Snap (possibly anime screen of Todd Snap or something) work?

    I like this idea. Just putting my thoughts on it, but possibly we could have one day with one winner, the second day with another winner, and the third day with a final winner. On the 4th day we hold one more challenging category with the top three winners competing for the final prize. Possibly an emblem, which I won't mind working on, if that's alright with you guys?
    I certainly fail at artwork haha, so go ahead with the emblem. I was also thinking about making the top prize the hardest with winners returning to claim it. Have we thought of categories that we are going to use for sure in the contest yet?

    Also, Skip it's perfectly alright if you want to be the third judge. This way we'll basically have our team complete. n_n
    Sweet. I'm in.

    Thanks a lot, Blade. I'll make sure to edit the 1st post ! :)

    Sure. But does that mean we'll have three categories ? Hmmm.... whata bout only making the "most hilarious" competition, but for all three dif. series (Original, ADV. and DP)

    Though, you guys might have something different in mind on how you want to hold the event?

    Just as I said above. We'll have some categories (ofcourse the first one will judge how funny it is) and I'll let you think on some.

    We'll use livejournal, as Blade suuggested ! ^^

    Skip agreed. We're full now ! (:

    Good point. I'll add that to the "Ancient Code - Rules".

    Also 2 days is a long time to find a snapshot off of the internet. How about 4 one-day competitions, with the winner each day getting a prize?

    Mmm... I've been thinking about three one day competitions based on "The Funniest Snap" and the final day will have the best from all three compete. The winner gets a shiny emblem and, I might (MIGHT) talk to Rukario for a 5$ Supporter Card ! ^_^

    Another good thing that you can do for locating pictures is to watch episodes online or on your TV if you have them, take a picture with your camera, and then submit it online.

    Nah, pokemon.com is really suckish. They have one episode per week, which means that if we were to get snaps from their site, they'd all be from a single site. u_u
    But, yeah, as I said, if they have their own cam., thei can take their own pictures (: just to be of an acceptable quality.

    I can also Judge this competition as well, if that's alright with Hiiro.

    Yay ! We're four now !

    Check the four-sized text. I'll also go and edit the first post ! ^^
     
    I wasn't saying that we use just one website. like Pokemon.com, as the resource though. Pokemon.com is an available resource people can use. I feel that it's limited if we just give the competitors one resource that they can use and nothing else.

    I also think having just the most hilarious from each series is a little redundant. I was thinking that we could start with a general topic, then as each day progresses the topic gets harder until the last day, where each of the finalists gets their own topic, and the best submission for the topic (or the fastest if there's only one screen in the entire anime available per topic) will win. Here's some sample topics I was thinking of:

    Day 1: The funniest snap you can find from any series!
    Day 2: The saddest snap you can find from any movie!
    Day 3: The greatest battle snap you can find from the Diamond and Pearl Series!
    Day 4:
    Finalist 1- Misty battling a dragon-type Pokemon!
    Finalist 2- Jessie and James' sacrifice for their first Pokemon!
    Finalist 3- The scene of the first evolution of a Generation IV Pokemon!

    These are just some ideas, so we can always change them.
     
    Hmmm... What toy said perfectly makes sense.
    I'm thinking to put in something similar to what you said. Just something like :

    1. Day 1 : The most hilarious DP Scene (since the animation detail has increased, we could have cool stuff here ! <3)

    2. Day 2 : The saddest Indigo/Johto Scene (when Ash left Butterfree ? When Brock left his family ? Which was it ?!)

    3. Day 3 : The most glorious ADV. / Battle Frontier Battle Scene ! (Ash vs. Brandon ? Post it today)

    4. Day 4 : Best three snaps compete ! Which one won ? Get tuned today !

    Okay. About the emblems : (I suck at fanart, so I need someone to draw them ... x-x) :


    Final Runner Up : 2nd and 3rd Places in the Final Day.
    Advancer ! (title working) : First place in one of the first three competitions)
    Snap Champion : DA GREAT !

    Remember, titles are working. :x

    Isn't final runner-up and Supreme Third/Second pretty much the same award? I would remove both and replace them with "Finalist".

    In terms of artwork, you could contact KoA (KingofAnime) or anybody in artwork and ask for some help with that. Someone may also see this post (cough*READ THIS THREAD GUYS*cough) and volunteer. I can also contact people I know in artwork and ask for help if you want. I'll have you send them themes
     
    Okay now, I have minimalised the number of emblems and the mistakes (I typed them at 12 AM).
    Is it good now ?
     
    I'd say just get rid of the advancer emblem, since the top 3 are all getting emblems anyways as it is, then bring back your emblem for the top 3 of each day, but it should be like this:

    Day (1/2/3) Runner Up: Goes to second and third place on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.

    This makes it so that each person can only get one emblem and not be greedy lol.

    In that case, I think we should also add a rule that if you get top three on one day, we should discourage them from competing on the next days (that doesn't mean they don't compete whatsoever, its just discouraged.)
     
    Well, I've been meaning to cancel competition on two or three days since two snaps from the same user will end up in the final. And everyone will be whining ):

    Anyways, I guess we're decided ! I will assign someone *READ THIS THREAD PPLS !* to make three emblems :

    Supreme Snapper : #1 of Pokemon [Person] Snap, Anime Version !
    Begginer Snapper : #2 on one of the first 3 days !
    Master Snapper : #1 On one of the first 3 days, #2 or 3 on the final day !

    I'll edit the first post detailing our event (since it's all decided). Also, Skip, could you post your timezone so I can know who can plan when ? >I am GMT + 2<
     
    Emblems look good to me, and I'll start asking around for artwork. Also, my timezone is PST, not sure what that is GMT though lol. I'll find out though.

    Oh, do we have an idea of what we'll be doing for the Finals Category, and our judging criteria for each day? I was thinking about how we feel which snap best captures what we were looking for, and look for uniqueness (I don't want to see 20 pictures of Brock's eyes on oneday, for example). How does that sound?

    Of course the final round will be all about uniqueness. It goes by Funniest (Day 1), Saddest (Day 2), Most Glorious (Day 3) and the Most Unique (Day 4).

    We're quite done here. We only need the emblems and Hiiro's approval. Yay !

    EDIT : Ninja'ed. I deleted my fails.

    Catching up on everything, let me see if I've got this all right.

    [jq]Days and Category

    1. Day I: Funniest Scene
    2. Day II: Tear Jerking Moments
    3. Day III: Glory FTW
    4. Day IV: Most Unique
    [/jq]
    I just gave them new titles that I thought would fit well with the day's theme. Though, you guys can choose whether to use them or not, just saying. n_n; Also, I don't think it should really be discouraged for those who earned 2st or 3nd place in the first two days of events. Actually, I don't think they should be mentioned at all. Instead, only the first place winner should be revealed and therefore encouraging all those who didn't succeed the first round to try again the next day. This way we still have people participating and it won't run anyone away without people whining.

    So, first place winner of Day I, Day, II, and Day III will all compete in Day IV's final event for the top prize emblem. Am I right? Then, the last three day's previous winners will also receive an emblem for winning first place that day?

    I suggest not really keeping any second or third place emblem for the runner up contestants. It'll just create too many emblems to give out. Instead, I'd give all those who participated an emblem for participation.

    By the way, I'd gladly make these emblems if you guys agree and sound good to you?

    Just a last reminder, maybe having a first post draft before the Events officially begin would be good to show so we can make sure it looks professional enough to post up on Friday morning. This will also decide on who's creating the first post of the thread.
     
    You got everything Hiiro. Since I have no artistic skill and no knowledge of CSS, I think that either you or 560 should make the emblems and first post. I also like your titles for each of the days and the emblem awards. Participation emblems are also good, since its a nice consolation prize.

    So all we pretty much need atm is emblem pictures and a draft of the first post, and we're set!
     
    Please Hiiro. I need your help. You would make the emblems, no ?
    As for the titles ... those are genius. Many more people will get on and participate.
    I've decided that we'll reveal only the first place, at the end of every event day.
    Also, on a note, I will not be able to be on the final day (not the whole of it). Skippy, you'll declare our winner. Oh, and if I manage to get on (knowing myself...) I'll help you ! :D

    *edits first post NOWZ*

    EDIT : Here's my idea for a draft :

    This is not done is CSS, just nice fonts and all. I have no CSS knowledge, sadly.

    Looks pretty good content-wise, but it would be nice to get some artwork and stuff in at least. Here, let me give it a try, no CSS though. =/

    Here's my thought for the first post that you guys could use. As for images, when I finish all the icons, you can add them in there for pictures to the thread. n_n; My thought though, is on the categories section leave Day II, III, and IV with a "???" until we announce each day's theme. This way it'll keep the surprise in the game for all who participate and won't give anyone a head start. So, if you want to use my format, just quote me, remove the Day II, III, and IV titles and replace them with ???, then C&P it for the first post of the thread. Don't forget to remove the
    tags. XD

    Also, I added something unique for the prizes if you want to check it out. :) ...So, what do you think?
