Welcome Pokemon Trainer! You've arrived just in time for the Castelia City Contest! Oh? You seem new
to the city, so how's about I introduce you.

Castelia City is know for many things, but one of the best is the City's own Fake Card Contest! It's
an annual event that puts Card creators to the ultimate test of skill! Think of it as a Pokemon
Beauty Contest from where you come from. *Passes you a flier* Here you go! It'll tell you all that
you need to know about the event. See you then! ;]


Dates: Starting February 23rd, 2011 till March 6th, 2011.
Who Can Enter: ANYONE! Come join! Simply post your card design to enter.
Contest: Castelia Fake Pokemon Card Design
Overview: Create a Fake Pokemon Card Design that includes a Pokemon Black and White Pokemon Unova Region Pokemon.
Rules:
1. Contestants will be allowed 3 submissions. If you submit one card, that cards score is your final score. If you submit
more than one, I will chose the card with the best score as your submission.
2. All cards must be in a card blank design for all cards from stormfront and higher. Black and White blanks are allowed.
No Blanks are provided. Simply put, you are creating a card that looks real by today's standards. Custom blanks are allowed but they
must look like a real card design [aka. no cards with unique stuff].
Blanks that have other designs may give one
person a major advantage over someone else. No card blanks are provided. Please
research the internet to find one. The following link provides some excellent tips:

RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!]

Can I use CMP's Starlight Blanks? Your rule about custom blanks is a little hazy.
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!]

Yeah, I'm sorry everyone if they seem hard to understand. Here's the deal:

Reasons:
Although this is a awesome card! It is not how cards currently look. They have to look something similar to:

Allowed:

Reasons:
It looks like a real card design from todays sets
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!]

Yeah, ok. Thanks! I'm sure the Starlight Blanks can be used then.
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!]

FC's Oshawott, while a great card, doesn't in fact look like today's sets -- cards using EX designs haven't been made in nearly 4/5 years (since DP). Could you be a little more specific in which blanks are allowed, as "it has to look like a real card design from today's sets" isn't that clear...from how far back are we talking?
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!]

Awww if not for the "unova pokemans only" rule I would've entered this crack pic I did a while back, just for laughs :D

RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

So do I have to change my entries to another card blank format?
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

Your cards are HGSS blanks, RayquazaMaster, so they're acceptable.
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Oh, but I just realized that the evolution stage was in the wrong format... do I need to change that, or is it fine?
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

My entry.

Follows all your rules, yes? It's supposed to be holo, I saw this after I'd made it.

Holo version.
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

@PMJ It looks really good! I especially like the background in the picture.
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/23/11~

RayquazaMaster your submission is within the rules. Thank you =]
PMJ thank you for your submission as well =]
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/24/11~

Great cards guys!
Roderick, I noticed a typo in Heatmor's Poké-Body: "Heatmor's attack does and additional 30 damage. "and" should be "an".
=3
 
RE: Castelia City Card Contest [Officially Open!] ~Updated 2/24/11~

Thank you everyone for your submissions! 7 days left! Hope everyone's able to get a card in =]
Keep in mind everyone can enter 3 cards max.
 
Sorry Yuri, while it's a great card, only Unova Pokémon are accepted.
