This thread is for members of the Shiny Hunters Club to request cards for their signatures, if you are not already a member and would like to join just click the link.
As Metal Mario and Ryan are nowhere to be seen as of late, myself and Nova will be taking over the requests untill they return.
A brief history of the cards:
The new cards will include shiny sprites from the D/P version as the realease is not that far away (and lets face it, there really cool)
If you are a member of the SHC when you request a card please include:
The following are allowed on your SHC Card:
However the following DO NOT count towards your SHC Card:
(Credit to MM for the rules)
Members without shinys may also request a card with a shiny they wish to obtain in the future, this shiny will be grey as they have yet to obtain it.
As a sign of appeciation, you should link your card back to the Shiny Hunters Club
Please obtain the permission for any custom sprite you use as taking without credit/permission is as good as a slap in the face. If me or Nova discover that you have not obtained permission, we will ask you to remove your card and get a new trainer sprite.
If i could also ask that you DON'T DIRECTLY LINK FROM MY/NOVA'S PHOTOBUCK ACCOUNT If everyone does and it causes the bandwidth to exceed the amount we have, everyones cards will dissapear, so please upload them somewhere else.
Please don't nag at us or tell us we are taking too long, its not an easy process, it does take quite some time, just wait patiently. Also dont bombard us with requests, if you can see we have quite a few requests to do already please wait a while before you request yours.
When you obtain a new shiny feel free to come back and request an update.
An Example of the new cards:
As Metal Mario and Ryan are nowhere to be seen as of late, myself and Nova will be taking over the requests untill they return.
A brief history of the cards:
- April 20th, 2005: Lady Demoonica Darkmoon created some rather pretty, trainer-card-sized Shiny Cards for members to use, since the club was looking for something uniform to go in member signatures.
- April 26th, 2005: Some people found these cards a little too big and would mess up some stuff we already had in our signatures. rsgh5, cofounder, decided to make some smaller, animated cards to use in their place.
- June 5, 2005: rsgh5 (now Ryan) had a catastrophic system failure and lost the template and everything he was using to make these cards, so they were halted for a while. Then, Metal Mario created his own version of the cards, and he liked them and put MM in charge. He then started taking requests by PM.
- June 10, 2005: The second version of the thread was made and Metal Mario was officially given the job of making the cards.
- August 14, 2005: For a brief period, ryan used his template (which he apparently reacquired) to create generic trainer cards available to everyone. That seems to have not lasted long.
- January 16, 2006: Metal Mario's version 3 thread was closed due to lack of requests, then being revived after a month
- October 06, 2006: After a long lack of activity from Metal Mario and Ryan, myself and Nova decided to reopen the thread with new and improved cards.
The new cards will include shiny sprites from the D/P version as the realease is not that far away (and lets face it, there really cool)
If you are a member of the SHC when you request a card please include:
- A list of Advanced generation (Ruby/Sapphire/Colosseum/Fire Red/Leaf Green/Emerald/XD/anything compatible with them in the future) shinies you own in the order you caught them.
- A trainer sprite for the card, or name a standard ingame sprite to use.(Preferably in PNG or GIF format)
- What colours you want the card to use.
- Your name, as you'd like it to appear on the card, which is usually 6 characters, but may be more if it contains lots of ls and Is.
The following are allowed on your SHC Card:
- Shinies found in the wild, as gifts, or otherwise obtained in Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red, Leaf Green, or Emerald versions
- Snagged and purified from Colosseum and XD: Gale Of Darkness
- Shinies obtained from other compatible Pokémon titles, such as eggs from Box or Colosseum Bonus Discs
- Shinys met in trades, as long as you can prove the original owner did not cheat in any way shape or form to obtain them
- Shinies obtained from special Nintendo events, including Snag 'em Machine "fateful encounters" and the "Berry Update" from which you recieve a shiny Zigzagoon, LDD should know about that :P
However the following DO NOT count towards your SHC Card:
- Shinys you no longer own due to trades, game deletion, ect
- Shinies found in Gold, Silver, Crystal, or Stadium GS, or shinies traded in from Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, or Stadium 1.
- Shinies found with the help of game-altering devices such as Action Replay or Gameshark, or shinies found by altering the saved game data and uploaded via flash linkers or XBOO/multiboot programs.
- Shinies whose acquisition was accelerated by any of the means mentioned in the previous point. These include (but are not limited to) fast hatching codes, codes to teleport you to the special islands inhabited by Deoxys, Mew, etc. or obtain their tickets, codes to make wild Pokémon appear in places where they don't normally (eg. making Chimecho the only thing you see on Route 101) or in quantities greater than normal (eg. making it so that you see nothing but Absol on Route 120).
- Shinies whose acquisitions were due to flaws in the program or damaged carts. An example would be the "Celebi glitch"
