Title: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Ledyba on April 01, 2011, 14:31
Hello you.  You like Pokémon? Great.  You like creativity,..uh sorta?  Still, great, here at PKMN.NET we're hosting a competition when you combine the two loves and not come out with something creepy with other fusion concepts such as The Fly.


To celebrate Pokémon Black and White and our the launch of the brand new Donation Member System (more can be found here (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=100336.0))  we're launching this competition, where you may have guessed it, to design your own Pokémon

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.  The winner of this competition will receive a Brand New Copy of either Pokémon Black or White.

Basics:

Hang on, design my own Pokémon?
Yep.  Although, mind, it can be a single Pokémon or a Pokémon evo line, it doesn't matter, as long as you:



Hang on a moment, in what manner are we doing this? I have the drawing ability of a cow, am I expected to draw/sprite?

Take it from someone who's drawing ability is yet to pass a three year old level, we don't want to exclude people by this.  Sure, you can sprite.  Or you can do art.  Or you can write.  Your limit is your imagination! If you don't feel confident with drawing, you can describe it lucid terms! As long as you express what your Pokémon is about!

Although everyone is expected to take some writing for concerning lore/location and such.

Your Pokémon will be designed on based of the games.  That's to say, you'll have to:


Oh and you can't design pre-evo/evos of real Pokémon.  C'mon, be fresh ;).



WHAT DO I WIN. WHATDOIWINWHATDOIWIN

Woah, calm down there. As much as we'd like to send you on a cruise around Europe we couldn't do that.  (And if we could I'd by typing this on the deck of the SS SUPERcow) The Prizes are nearly as good! In First Place will win a Full Year's Donation account aaaaand best of all.. a copy of either Pokémon Black or White!

Runners up (the number depending on the number of people who've entered) will recive a Donation package depending on their final postion.

Also, the best of the rest will have their Pokémon proudly shown on a our Competition Page!

Excellent.  I'll devote every working hour to it - although how is it judged?

I'm very glad you asked me this.  The admins's decision will be based on three things:

Looks: How well does it look by your drawing/writing? We won't judge it on the quality, rather the content.  Does it look great? Does it fit in the concept?
Moves and Stats:  We'll decide if the stats you have given it fit the Pokémon, and if the movepool is appropriate this doesn't necessary mean about size (but if you're decided a Pokémon Margikap-esque, we might put that as a factor).
Consistency with the Pokémon world. You might have read we're designing a Pokémon.  Not a toaster for ASDA to showcase! So we;'d have to consider the factors such as above, as if this was released next year with a bunch of new Pokémon, would we consider it to be part of them? It would it feel the odd one out..? does its Lore fit in the Pokémon world? does it 'glue' together, we'd be thinking about this.

You'll receive a score out of 10 per admin, which will factor your over all score of 50.

How do I send it in?
Easy, just email your writing, images whatever to  seniorstaff <at> pkmn{dot}net.

Post by: MonsterMon64 on April 01, 2011, 19:47
Not sure if I'll enter yet, but I'm coming up with some ideas nonetheless!

Question, though: for the moves, are we just going by what they can learn leveling up, or is it mandatory that we also include egg moves and TMs/HMs? For that matter, are we limited to existing moves/abilities or can we make up our own, too? I'm barely halfway through ONE learnset, and my brain is throbbing from overthinking. XD

I'm not entering cause I don't know how to draw or am a good writer. But it will be nice to see what people come up with.  ^^

probably for the best we keep to known movesets. ;)

Wut?

Note to self: Black => White white  => Black in the word censor for the purpose of April Fools seemed like a good idea at the time..
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: The Librarian on April 01, 2011, 20:35
Just a few of questions:

Do we have to put at what level the Pokémon can learn a move, or just put some moves it can learn?

Should an explanation of the name be included in the submission?

Do we include our user names or something in the e-mail so you know who sent what in?
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Mulholland on April 01, 2011, 22:03

My questions are...

- When is the start date and closing date for the competition?
- Is the winner going to be announced publicly on the forums at the end?
- Is the competition 1st prize for UK and US residents only?
- Apart from Rex, who else will be judging what is entered?

I'll step in here

- It starts today and closes on May 1st
- Yes they will be
- We need to look into that
- Rex, Myself, Rob, Mike and Joeno

Post by: Apprentice on April 02, 2011, 02:31
I have a question.
If the winner of this competition already has a copy of Black/White, would it go to runner-up instead? And other situations like if the winner & runner-up both have one would it go to third, etc.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Ledyba on April 02, 2011, 13:13
Well, we'd hope the person who won it would be graceful enough for that anyway!

I hope the winner chooses which version they get,so if (Very unlikely)i win, i would ask to receive Black as i already have White.

Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Joeno on April 04, 2011, 14:35
I thought this was mentioned (as it'd been discussed) - staff members can enter and when we showcase the work (in whatever way), they'll be included, but they're not eligible to win any of the (top) prizes, for obvious reasons.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Dragonpika on April 04, 2011, 14:41
Haha cheers, figured that'd be the case. That's fine, I'm gonna have fun with it anyway ^__^

A quick question, is it okay if we use an official sprite but edit it heavily? I'm no good at scratches.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Joeno on April 05, 2011, 19:04
You could, but it'll give a disadvantage on originality... then again, you can also submit without images, just text. It's up to you, as long as you remember you need to be more descriptive to make sure it seems unique.

Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Tesseraction on April 11, 2011, 21:07
I realize we must stick to moves that exist already, but may we give the Pokemon a new ability that goes along with its concept?
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Ledyba on April 11, 2011, 21:11
Its probably best to keep it simple and sad no I'm afraid.  We'd like to keep the focus on the Pokemon, rather than its other elements, but I do understand the arugement it can be a part of it but abilites to me, for the most part are rather generic.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Tesseraction on April 11, 2011, 21:29
Aww, that's so unfortunate.
I had a great ability that went along with my Pokemon's story :(
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Joeno on April 11, 2011, 22:34
If it's so essential, then that would be a good thing to include if you ask me (Arceus' Multitype and Shedinja's Wonder Guard being examples of unique abilities that fit). If it's a random one, not relevant to the Pokemon (Pikachu's Static) then it's different. If it adds flavour, something interesting, I'd say go ahead. If it's just to add power, then there's little point.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Ledyba on April 11, 2011, 22:37
that seems a good idea.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: yk on April 12, 2011, 03:32
Can we like put two? Like opposites?

Examples:

Shellos (East and West)

Darkrai, Cresselia

Groudon, Kyogre

Normal, Shiny

Male, Female.

Like any of those?
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!
Post by: Joeno on April 12, 2011, 07:46
i'm quite good for a drawer,just can't put the drawings online.

Then isn't it a good thing you are supposed to email the design and can just attach the images to the email?

Shellos (East and West)

Possibly, as it's one Pokemon, but see the note for abilities above, the same applies here.

Quote
Darkrai, Cresselia

Groudon, Kyogre

Those are different Pokemon, so no.

Quote
Normal, Shiny

Male, Female.

These really are the same Pokemon, so yes.

That'd be sending in multiple Pokemon, wouldn't it?

You should be able to use an ordinary camera. Make sure the drawing's flat and in good light and you should get a clear shot =P Or you could use a scanner.

i actually had a cool idea of a rock type sabre tooth type mon which likes to live in most dangerous mountains of the world and only see fit too travel with a trainer of equal strength its very fast and has a high defence, stands at about 4ft

Its main colour is a light brown and underbelly is white  that leads up to its lower jaw Has ploges of brown rock on its back and has big rock shaped front shoulder sockets and its tail is a small sharp rock shaped point that can extend to defend agaist attackers and its teeth are actually conjoined at the front by a finely sharpened rock which looks natrual to the pokemon its eyes are made from red a crystal layer that protects them from other pokemon of its kind

Mounabre is its name and can have the abilitys Rock Head, or Study or Guts

moves could be sand attack, slash, bite, crunch, hyper fang, rock smash, rock throw ,giga impact and some others

EDIT: Pretty much done but I might have to re-go over things to make sure it's awesome enough to win. Some people I've shown bits too and they've been MASSIVELY impressed with the work =P

Expect it through some time before the deadline =]

the same email address that's been on the first post for nearly a month.  c'mon i don't mean to be moody but it's... there!  ><

and to send an image you have to attach it, you see it on the email screen when you're writing it.
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!

Or you can just add it to a Word document along with your writing and whatnot and send it as one attachment which is what I did =]
Title: Re: COMPETITION: Design a Pokémon!

No. As the post says, you should have sent it to the seniorstaff email address on our domain, and should have done so a week ago. I'm afraid your entry doesn't count anymore.

I know mine's long so you don't have to put that on the site if you don't want to =P

(And by that I mean don't put it on because I didn't realise it would be put on the site and I'd prefer it not to be tbh)

OMG I came second!! :D :D

The winning submission is actually SO badass that I can't stop looking at it. The same with Kay's entry because that is badass too and of course Tyler the Unicorn.

Are we allowed to know the scores that the admins gave us? =P

Wow, I came 4th. I'm quite proud of Peckock. All of the entries were awesome. Well done to Specstile for winning.

A bit of story on Peckock:
Shortly after the announcement of the competition, I got thinking. I noticed there was a lack of chickens in Pokémon. So, I started on a chicken. (This is still visible in the filename, Chickenman2) First, I made Ducklett white, but I noticed it was looking bad. I played about a bit, and discovered that it'd make a good Peacock. The sprite had a few variations (hence the 2 in the file name). I'll upload the alternate sprites at another date.

Wow.. I honestly did better than I expected. Ha, and I'm exactly half way between first and last place :).

I can see why Specstile's entry won. It really is awesome.

Well done to all who took part, and congratulations to Specstile.

On a side note, being egotistical, I've put mine up too which was lost via PM and not email.. in a rather blonde moment of me.

Congrats to Specstile; very nice entry there. Well done to everyone to; great to see so much hard work put into it all.

I'm honoured to get a special mention ^^;
I did have the best artwork though~

(Also, did I actually get a score out of 50? It'd be interesting to see what I got xD)
