Weekly Quest #3: Pokémon Photobomb!

[Squirrel]

Im in


HUMOR

Ahah oh dear I feel bad for that guy! If I had to have any Pokémon on top of my face, Tentacruel would be pretty far down the list :c

 

[VisualJae]

I hope you're all ready, because I have quite a bit for the "Natural" category:

My personal favorite is the Slowbro (CP1979), hands down. Caught it with a single throw, too ;)

 

[Squirrel]

That Bulbasaur picture is genuinely wonderful! Honestly I find it hard to beat that, it even has the whole "get out of here stranger!" vibe to it and it's a really fitting background haha. Very nice job!

 

[Poké Bean]

Oh man, VisualJae, those are all so awesome!

Found these two lurking around today...

Spoiler:

Both for Natural I think

 

[Squirrel]

Love the Rattata one Spoony, he really looks like a common street rat which is perfect for him haha.

Time for some more submissions of my own!

Cute:

Spoiler:

He's so tiny ♥

Humour:

Go Cubchoo go!

SO TINY AHHH ♥

I think Jae wins the Natural category hands down with those last few shots. They look awesome! And I feel like any photo with a floppy Magikarp in it is just automatically funny. :P

I'll try dedicating some time tomorrow to taking a few shots just for the contest, but just so I have something up in the meantime -

Wild Pidgey appeared! Dog used Leer.

Spoiler: Cute

I wish I found him in the fish section, but alas

Spoiler: Humour

 

[Squirrel]

I like how the Magikarp in the second one seems to just be shouting "pick me pick me :D" XD Also your dog is adorable omg I want it.

Submissions for the contest must be posted by the end of tomorrow (August 15th)! I'll be lenient with time zones so as long as they're posted in a reasonable time then that's fine - also be sure to let me know if anyone needs an extension :)

 

[FireSnow]

A couple entries that I gathered over the week:
1. Put this one down for the Cute Category

Spoiler:

2.Had a little standoff heading back to my room one night, luckily I beat it. Put this one down for Humour!

Spoiler:

3. Apparently it wasn't very happy about losing! Not going to sleep while that thing is my room! Another Humour.

Spoiler:

4.And then a little Natural I suppose? Pretty sure it was trying to take over my TV but I foiled its plan.

Spoiler:

 

[Squirrel]

Omg that's the tiniest Weedle I've ever seen I love it ♥ And oh god those Drowzee are creepy I feel bad for you!

Hi guys, please submit all of your final entries within the next few hours for them to be counted :)

 

[Squirrel]

Deadline for photo submissions has been extended until the end of today, had two people request late entries so I'll give them time to upload them :)

 

[Squirrel]

Looks like those entries never came in, oh well! Time to show off all of our collected art and pick our winners :D Without further delay, here are the entries for each category...

Okay guys, Week 3 is over and it's time to announce our winners! Here's the winner for each category...

Aesthetic

Spoiler:

A category with few entries but nonetheless some very high quality ones! Our winner for this category was Squirrel with this majestic looking Eevee:

Cute

Spoiler:

We had a lot of very cute Pokémon showing off their talents in this category with joint winners emerging! Let's all gaze in awe at FireSnow's cute little Weedle and Battle Girl Spoony's adorable Squirtle!:

Humour

Spoiler:

Next up it's time for some laughs! I think we all saw this one coming but it's a shame that VisualJae's Diglett didn't - here's the winner!:

Natural

Spoiler:

It's only natural that we have such an elegant winner for this category and that winner was another entry by VisualJae with his fierce looking Bulbasaur!:

Unique

Spoiler:

This was quite possibly the trickiest category to capture an entry for but we ended up seeing some very quirky Pokémon this week with none other than 0TheGeneral0's Tentacruel taking the spotlight - contact me by PM for your special prize!:

It's been a great week with some very cool, quirky, interesting and adorable photography being demonstrated by everyone. Very impressed to see the quality of this week's entries and a big congratulations to all of our winners! Everyone did a great job and even if your entry didn't win I can assure you that almost every single picture received at least one vote so no one has been left behind!

That's all for this week, until next time ♥

 

[Poké Bean]

Aw my cute little jumping Squirtle won! Thanks guys! ^^

I loved every single entry it was so hard to pick! Congrats all!

 

[VisualJae]

Cool!

As a tip for those who may not know:

When you find a Pokémon you want to "photograph," you can turn off AR, reposition somewhere else, and turn AR on again over and over until you get the backdrop you want. Every time you reset the AR, the Pokémon will reposition to center wherever you're facing (not factoring angle/altitude).

So theoretically, anyone who wants to take a photo of a Magikarp in a frying pan only needs to first find a Magikarp, start the encounter, then go home and reset the AR in front of the stove.

You mean to say you don't usually carry a frying pan with you when playing GO? o_O
