A nice sprite contest. [r10 open for entries: version-exclusive mixes!]

[Wolstenholme]

They aren't mine either, but I've had a go and I'm pretty happy with the results :-)

[Sebastian Moran]

hurray <: 
trying new things and messing about with pixel arts is fun... and tbh part of this is me introducing things and trying to encourage people to have a go at them. 
well, more so in future rounds, i started the contests off simply enough. 
 

[Wolstenholme]

Came third again 

[JSM]

Thanks to whoever gave me my 1 vote lol.

[Sebastian Moran]

finally got the poll working, my computer was being a div sighs. 
watch this space for trophies appearing, but entries for round 4 are now open! 
should be nostalgic for some of you... and a bit of a challenge for everyone i hope <: 
 

[Wolstenholme]

More arduous waiting.

You should copy either the pokémon's original colours or its shiny colours. In garish default style, of course. So no bright red and purple caterpies, please.

I don't get this bit...

[Sebastian Moran]

ta daaaaa, trophies have arrived.

"You should copy either the pokémon's original colours or its shiny colours. In garish default style, of course. So no bright red and purple caterpies, please."

basically, if the pokémon is green, then you should replace the green bits with one of the greens on the palette. If it has blue stripes, you make the stripes one of the bluish colours on there. 
it doesn't have to be 100% idealistic match up or anything haha. just so long as the reddish bits on the sprite are made a reddish colour, and so on and so forth. 
 
it's just me trying to say that you shouldnt just use whatever colours you feel like would be easiest. because that wouldn't be as much of a challenge :v 
/cackling away into the night 
 
oh, i found an example of something that i did a while back for a similar competition: 
 

[Wolstenholme]

Alright, I get it now - Love my 'trophy' this time around!

[SirBlaziken]

Wow. Umby is dominating. Good luck to everyone!

[Jackal]

It's because he is pushin the limits or the criteria to get as much out of the sprite as possible. An obvious example being that he scratched the Typhlosion mix.

what is the next round?

[Sebastian Moran]

you mean, the round after the "limited palette bug" round? 
its a secret :v 
well, it will be revealed when it's time for the next round, i tend to judge it by how popular/successful the current round is to see whether i might be able to get enough people for something a bit different. 
i have a list of stuff to pick from though. 
basically.... tl;dr....... secret. 
 

[Jackal]

...I'm still confused

[Sebastian Moran]

whoops, sorry about that. what are you confused about exactly? 
round 4, which is the current round? 
 

[Jackal]

yes. the current round. what is the criteria?

[Inferna]

I keep forgetting about this until it's past the deadline time aha.
Is the the round about the bugs still opened or do I need to wait for the next one?
