I've made a contest topic, wow.
This is how it will work.-I announce a specification for the round. e.g. mixes.
-You have 72 hours (3 days) to submit your sprite to me via PM.
-I put the sprites up in an anonymous poll (ooh).
-The poll will stay up for roughly 72 hours (3 days).
-Awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd are then given accordingly, as well as an award for my personal favourite.
-Yes you can vote in the poll, yes you can vote for yourself if you want.
-Everyone has a lovely time.
Extra information:-You do one round at a time, and you can enter as many or as few as you like, you don't have to sign up or anything.
-Places will not be saved. You either submit a sprite before the closing time or you don't. If you get yours to me just a bit late it doesn't matter, provided that I haven't yet set up the voting poll.
-The sprites that you submit to me will be reuploaded for the duration of this contest, and taken down once the poll is over.
-No gif animations, please, and no sprite tags (no adding your name).
-I will make your sprite transparent for you, if it isn't already.
-Only pixel art will be accepted. that is to say, no gradients or textures or brushes. The sprites should be made pixel by pixel, using flat colours (dithering is accepted). Put simply, they should match the style of the in-game sprites.
-Don't post your sprites here. It won't disqualify you, but if they're not PMd to me they won't be entered.
-
If your sprite doesn't fit the specifications for the round then I won't accept it. Because I'm a killjoy. So yeah,
read the below "details" carefully. Most of it should be obvious/same as usual.
Ok I think that's everything. Let me know if you have any questions.

Round 11: ???
DETAILS FOR THIS ROUND:
Mix two pokémon together, one exclusive to one game of a generation, the other exclusive to the other game. Ignore exclusives for "third" games like yellow or emerald, and ignore spin-off games.
Example: purugly (exclusive to pearl) mixed with skuntank (exclusive to diamond).
Example: ekans (exclusive to fire red) mixed with misdreavus (exclusive to leaf green).
The pokémon must be from the same generation! So spinarak (exclusive to gold) mixed with lotad (exclusive to sapphire) would
not be accepted. Just check a list of exclusives to make sure they're both exclusives in the same pair of games.
Don't worry about extra specifics (e.g. in-game trading): so long as the pokmémon are on the list, they should be grand.
Lists of version exclusive pokémon can be found
online, including on pkmn.net:
B/W2,
DP.
Number of pokémon to mix: Two.
Sprites allowed: full colour, so Gen III and up. Please use an official sprite for the base, but you can scratch bits of the sprite.
Shiny colours allowed?: No.
Feel free to ask any questions, but remember:
no sprite tags or animations.
Please
PM your sprites to me any time before Thursday October 10th, 6:00pm (UK/Ireland time zone).
(that is, 1:00pm EDT, 10:00am PDT). This will be when the poll closes.
Pokémon sprites can be found on
pkmn.net, or there's
the spriter's resource site for any others.
