PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You! — Results!

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

So, I decided I wanted to use a Pokemon from one of my playthroughs. I decided to flip a coin. If heads, I'd use Beedrill, one of the Pokemon from my X nuzlocke (which I posted here) or CarChomp, my starter from my White 2 randomizer nuzlocke. I ended up getting CarChomp. I decided to use my recolor of him (more coming soon!) as well.

This is my first ago at something like this, and I don't think I did a fantastic job... Here it is anyway.

[Basic] Spiritomb HP 80 [P]
NO. 442 Forbidden Pokémon HT. 3’03” WT. 238.1 lbs.

Δ Pierce: This Pokémon’s attacks’ damage isn’t affected by any effects on the Defending Pokémon.

[Ability] Spirit Link
Once during your turn, (before your attack), if your Active Pokémon is a Pokémon-EX and your Active Pokémon does not have any Pokémon Tool cards attached to it, you may Knock Out this Pokémon. Attach this card to your Active Pokémon as a Pokémon Tool Card. Then, you may put a M Pokémon-EX that evolves from your Active Pokémon from your hand onto your Active Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) Your turn does not end if the Pokémon this card is attached to becomes a M Pokémon-EX.

[P][C] Spirit Seal 10
Put 2 damage counters on each of your opponent’s Pokémon that have an Ability. Then, put 2 damage counters on each of your opponent’s Pokémon that have an Ancient Trait.

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

REASONING: PLEASE READ

At a first glance, this Pokémon may seem overpowered. Turn one M Pokemon-EX? Up to 50 damage for one Energy with Spirit Seal and Dimension Valley? The ability to attack multiple times per turn? However, these attacks are not as strong as one might think. Sure, Spirit Link can help you achieve a turn one Mega, but how many Megas can you think of that can use an attack on the first turn? Not many, if any. Spirit Seal can lock Abilities and Ancient Traits and do up to 50 damage, but only if the Defending Pokémon has both an Ability and an Ancient Trait. I don’t think there are many, if any, Pokémon with both of these characteristics. Spirit Strike enables multiple attacks in one turn, but it has a rather bulky energy cost and has a low damage output relative to its energy cost.

So this is my first shot at custom card creation, but it won't be my last cause this was fun as heck. Here goes nothing.
**** **


[Basic] Smeargle HP 50 [C]
No. 235 Painter Pokemon Ht. 3”11’ Wt. 127 lbs.

[Ability] Breeder’s Choice: Your [C] Pokémon can use the attacks of any Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponents.) (You still need the necessary energy to use each attack).

[C] Moody: This attack does 20 damage to one of your opponent's benched Pokémon chosen at random. Then, heal 10 damage from one of your opponent’s Pokemon chosen at random.

Weakness: [F]
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: [C]

Smeargle marks the boundaries of its territory using a body fluid that leaks out from the tip of its tail. Over 5,000 different marks left by this Pokémon have been found.



**** **
Rationale: Smeargle is my favourite Pokemon, beating Xerneas by a fraction and everything else by a zillion miles. Most of his TCG incarnations focus on copying moves or effects via “Sketch.” He is noteworthy for being a chaotic and unpredictable lead in the game, especially when sporting the Moody ability, whose randomness I attempted to capture here. More importantly, though, he can pass sketched moves to any Pokemon in his egg group, and I gave him the ability Breeder’s Choice to illustrate this (but used type as the commonality instead.)

You may discard 2 Energy attached to this Pokémon. If you don't, this Pokémon is now confused.

He actually didn't know Outrage until before the elite four. I found enough shards and tutored him the move. Sacrifice is based off the champion battle. My last two Pokemon were CarChomp and Swag.exe (My Klinklang). Carchomp died to Haxorus, allowing a fully healed Swag.exe to finish off Haxorus and win the battle.

I hope you enjoy!

Basic Dunsparce HP40
WhiteNRG


dunsparce.gif


NO. 206 Land Snake Pokémon HT: 4'11" WT: 30.9 lbs.

AbilityBOL
Suffocating Swarm
Your opponent's Active Pokémon loses -20 HP. You may only apply Suffocating Swarm Abilities on your opponent's Active Pokémon until its remaining HP is 40 or more.

WhiteNRG
Final Burst
If the Defending Pokémon has equal to or fewer remaining HP than this Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is Knocked Out.

weakness
FightNRG
x2 resistance
NoneNRG

retreat
When spotted, this Pokémon escapes backward by furiously boring into the ground with its tail.
Suffocating Swarm: Floette FF, Gardevoir NXD, Swalot PHF
Final Burst: Empoleon LT

Explanation:
The Suffocating Swarm ability can only decrease remaining HP to 40 at any time meaning the ability is basically useless when not paired with the attack. Also, although Mew-EX can abuse this attack slightly, we got a Shedninja that could get a bit OP when paired with a Mew-EX... so no worries - same power.

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Time for my entry! I choose...

Kyurem!
6n6ioVE.png

Symbols by Metagross101, BW blank by ShiningBill. Kyurem 3D model by Game Freak.

So this is what I'm calling a "super-art" card; it's similar to a full-art but has more art per card, and doesn't have much glamour stuff (holo, texture) to take the focus away from the artwork or the contents of the card itself.
You can see my inspiration for this style here, but note that those cards cover up most of the important stuff that makes a card legal - super-arts would be more legal than painted-over cards because of this.
This Kyurem focuses on preventing the opponent from doing stuff. Specifically, using Ancient Traits and drawing cards. With official Ancient Traits becoming more and more common (and versatile and useful), making something to combat them seems like a good idea. And I've been wanting to make a card that prevents beginning-of-turn card draws for a while now too.

And just for fun, here's the paintless version of my entry:
Look at how different the paint makes it!

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

I'm not even sure which of the artwork is best :O They both look awesome!
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Aside from the lack of a border, exactly how does it differentiate itself from a normal full art card? It just looks like a full art card with no foil.

If you look at the current range of full-art Pokemon cards, they're all very samey in that it's a Pokemon with lots of VFX, texturing, and other things that get in the way of the full-art being an actual piece of art. You couldn't take the art out of the current full-arts, frame it, and say it's decent artwork suitable for a gallery - it's just not that type of card.

It's like the difference between a reverse-holo card and a Radiant Collection card - minor, but enough to make the new type of card unique and awesome.
Plus, with the amounts of 3D (not fancy paintified 3D stuff!) art in the recent eras of TCG it'd be a good change of pace for the TCG to have this type of full-art too. So overall, it's more than just the card blank, it's what the type of card is.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

But you could apply the same texturing to your artwork and wind up with the same result.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Generally full arts are just Pokémon models with random backgrounds and golden lineart pasted together, not a single piece completely texturized. That's the difference from those to BFA's card. This has artwork, those have models and GFX stuff.

Very nice concept, I always thought that's how Full Arts would've been if introduced in a past era, [link=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/099/b/1/ho_oh_e_full_art__by_deltablanknite-d4vi9ma.png]something like this.[/link] (Not my submission btw)
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Love the concept, AUS! I've been crossing my fingers for ages that we'll get more traditional art FAs.

Ninetales. I thought it'd be cool to make a card like this. I had some other ideas for stuff to do with Tools, but I decided to expand it for my Ninetales. I like it, hopefully you do too.
