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

I feel like I've seen that Ninetails art a million times even though this is a new card. Deja vu moment right there lol.

It might be the artwork, it's been used on a real card :)

It's the Legendary Treasures art. I thought it'd look nice on a HS card. So yes, you have seen it many times before :p

Best way to use LEGEND blanks: myth based spoilers. Nailed it Blui!
Pretty nice way to incorporate temporary ban on cards, reminds me of MTG stuff.

They said I could be anything

so I became special energy

As is standard for our collaboration, I instructed Athena to pick any Pokemon she liked, and I would make our entry around it. I don't like to make demands of my artists, because I see their contribution as more important than my own. So after many grueling hours and harsh deliberation, she totally copped out decided on Mew.

I wanted to avoid the Mew standard of being able to copy Pokemon's attacks, even if it was just the player's. So I decided to bring back an old favorite.

Older players will recognize Splice as very similar to certain Holon's Pokemon we got in the ex era that could be attached to Pokemon and become Special Energy cards (example).

It's powerful, so it could be added to any deck, but the fact that it's a basic with 30 life should be enough of a deterrent to wanting to run four, especially in combination with cards that can attach Energy. The attack requiring [P] instead of [C] is a conscious one. I believe that the power is strong enough to warrant the card's use, and so the attack should not necessarily be splashable (see: Mr. Mime PLF, Jirachi-EX, every Safeguarder).
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

My thought process was basically "What Pokémon do I really like that we could make a card from that I haven't drawn?" Initial thought was Gastrodon, and I actually did draw a Gastrodon, but it turned out really crappy and I was pissed so I scrapped it and looked at my plush for inspiration. A lot of my favourite Pokémon (and therefore plushes) are just cute basics, and while Mew is no exception to that, he is at least a cute basic that's powerful enough in canon to make an interesting card from.

Eh. I would have done a nice background with some Trubbish and a dumpster but I couldn't get the framing right (although typing this I can think of something). I should find out how to actually apply foils and textures someday especially since all I do is Base Set. Weezing came out great although I find it funny that Sugimori's Koffing is way better.

Card-wise I kinda just come up with gimmicks on the spot. I slapped some Energy discarding attacks onto it and went from there. I've been out the loop for a bit but I know there's a lot wro~ong!

[Stage 1] Whimsicott [G] HP: 100
Evolves from Cottonee

whimsicott.gif

No. 547 Windveiled Pokemon HT: 2'04" WT: 14.6lbs
Δ Evolution: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may play this card from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon even if that Pokemon was put into play this turn or if it's your first turn.

[Ability] Winds of Change
When Whimsicott has less then 50 HP and is your Active Pokemon; you can use this Ability. Flip a coin; if heads scoop up all cards attached to Whimsicott (excluding any Tools, Items and Energies) and place them in your hand. Tails; discard all cards attached to Whimsicott and retreat it to your bench. This Ability cannot be used if Whimsicott is affected by a Special Condition or you have no Benched Pokemon.

[G] Cotton Tackle 30
During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

[G] [G] U-Turn 50
Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.​

Weakness - [R] (x2)
Resistance - [W] -20
Retreat Cost - [C]
Like the wind, it can slip through any gap, no matter how small. It leaves balls of white fluff behind.

Inspirations:
- Cotton Tackle (Whimsicott's Emerging Powers Cotton Guard attack)
- U-Turn (Whimsicott's Emerging Powers U-Turn attack)

Whimsicott is one of my favorite Pokemon. The Ability I feel is going to be the big breaking point with this card. I was originally going to make this card without the Ability...but decided to add one and came up with the Ability in question with this card.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Hm, I did say I was going to enter this, didn't I?

In for image, and here's my entry to go along with it!

MasquerainCAC_zpsklcuxh4c.png

I'm a bit tight on time so I'll be brief..ish.

I quite like masquerain's design, though I wished it kept the Bug/Water typing of its previous stage. Bug/Flying is quite disappointing considering there are enough of those already.

You can probably tell that I focused more on the visual side this time. The art was done in Pokémon Art Academy for the 3DS, funnily enough. It took almost an entire day when I did it Dx. I've updated areas of my blank - I'm especially glad the old crooked Stage1 tab is gone.

The attacks are not as effect heavy as I normally do things (or inspired, for that matter), but hopefully it still has something going for it in that department. It has a less-than-stellar damaging attack, though I guess penetrating through defensive effects might come in handy in a few situations. I'd imagine this being used as a staller most of the time, though.

Also Grass resistance, I'm injecting a bit of variety at the risk of authenticity I suppose.

credit to KKN/Nekoban Ryo for the Grass Texture.

Good luck, everyone!
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Your artwork is beautiful as normal!
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Flygon LV.V 100HP [F]
[LEVEL-UP] - Put onto Flygon

Poké-BODY [Dragon Blood]
As long as Flygon has any [G] energy attached to it, heal 2 damage counters from Flygon between turns and any damage done by Flygon is increased by 10 more damage to the Defending Pokemon for each [L] energy attached to it.

[F][C][C] Viral Storm
This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon).

[C][C][C][C][C] Chaotic Turbulence 80
If this attack Knocks Out the Defending Pokémon, your opponent discards his or her hands.

[Put this card onto your Benched Flygon. Flygon LV. V can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous Level. You can't play this card if it would Knocked Out the Flygon.]

W - [W] x2
R - [L] -20
RC - [C]

Level V is a Virus Pokemon. They level up like the LvX pokemon used to but, they usually have weaker HP.
The 2nd part of body would require Flygon having the grass energy to activate it and lightning energy for the damage increase
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Chatot - HP60 - [C]
Basic
441.gif

NO. 441 Music Note Pokémon HT: 1’08’’ WT: 4.2 lbs.

Ability- Accompaniment
Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is on your Bench, you may flip 2 coins. If 1 coin is heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. If both of them are heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If both of them are tails, place 2 damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. You can’t use more than 1 Accompaniment Ability each turn.

[C][C] Key Change
Choose a type. All Pokémon of that type are [C] until the end of your opponent’s next turn (both yours and your opponent’s).

weakness- [L]x2
resistance- [F]-20
retreat cost- none


It keeps rhythm by flicking its tail feathers like a metronome. It imitates human speech.
XY era, I suppose.
I have no idea if the wording of the attack is even close. The ability shouldn't be too off, though. I hope. This card was inspired by piano, particularly accompaniments to songs, which often includes a key change. ;) I can't say I've actually played an accompaniment before, but I love looking at the accompaniment to the pieces we sing in Music class.

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

I couldn't decide which one of these I wanted to enter... But here's Sableye!

My entry:
[D] - Keeper's Sableye EX -- 110 HP

[img=200x150]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/71/47/1a/71471aff73a67eb40dcf322519888379.jpg[/img]

Ability: Trickster
As often as you like during your turn (before your attack) you may move a Tool card attached to 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon.

[D] Shadow Sneak -- 30
Does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness or Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

[D][C] Gem Scramble -- 50
Search your deck for up to 2 Item cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.

Weakness: [Y] x2 Resistance: [P] - 20
Retreat: [C]

Sableye lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these Pokémon are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness.

For kicks, I did the mega too. He used to be awesome with an ability and everything... Until I realized that megas simply don't work that way. Oh well!
NOT my entry:
[D] - Keeper's M Sableye EX -- 180 HP
(Evolves from Keeper's Sableye EX.)

[img=200x150]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/176/a/2/mega_sableye_by_cessa-d7nwffp.jpg[/img]

Mega Evolution rule: When 1 of your Pokémon becomes a Mega Evolution Pokémon, your turn ends.

[D][D] Dark Pulse -- 80
You may discard as many [D] Energy attached to this Pokémon as you like. This attack does 10 damage damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon for each Energy discarded.

Weakness: [Y] x2 Resistance: [P] - 20
Retreat: [C][C][C]
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Actually got my entry in. I've had barely any time to work on it. Let's hope for the best!

Stage 1 // Swadloon // HP70 [G]
540.png
Evolves from Sewaddle
swadloon.gif

NO. 541 Leaf-Wrapped Pokémon HT: 1'08" WT: 16.1 lbs.
[Ability] Regrow
Once during your opponent's turn, if this Pokémon is in your hand, and an Energy attached to 1 of your Pokémon is discarded by the effect of an opponent's Trainer card, you may attach this Pokémon as an Energy card to that Pokémon. While attached, this card is a Special Energy card and provides every type of Energy, but provides only 2 Energy at a time.

[G][C] Junk Toss
Discard as many Item cards as you like from you hand. This attack does 20 times the number of Item cards you discarded. If you haven't played any Item cards during this turn, this attack does 40 damage times the number of Item cards you discarded instead.

weakness [R] X2
resistance
retreat [C][C]
"Forests where Swadloon live have superb foliage because the nutrients they make from fallen leaves nourish the plant life."​

Achievement unlocked:
Use favorite fanart ever on a fake card.

manaphy%20coacutepia_zpso6fokdaz.png

The idea is that it aids decks that aim a win condition other than simply taking all Prize cards, like milling, LostGar, Porydonk, etc. On my custom TCG reboot, Legendary Pokémon have a separate stage from Basic Pokémon.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: March 2015 - I Choose You!

Since Luispipe8 is busy, Heavenly Spoon is taking care of both categories. I'll try to have the fan voting up tonight.

New round should be going up within a day or two as well.
