Lavender Theory - Custom Card Project

RE: Sheodon's Custom Cards
Yeah, finally I'm back, and I've started to work on my Lavender Town project.
So, what is it? Well, it's some kind of rethinking of the series (as it will mostly include original Pokémon), but also playing with the Lavender Theory, so it will include some Pokémon which could be never seen before. Here's a sneak peek:
First of all, I want to say that it's not a finished product, it's more like a preview to show you what kind of changes will be added to the original game, and why is the project called as Lavender Theory. At the moment I used the basic Pokémon Base blank, but if you have any other ideas, I'm opened for it. Also, I can use the New Species blanks made by Nekoban. And of course, I'm opened for ideas, critics and comments, as they are really appreciated.
EDIT: fixed a typo.

Loving the Lavender idea! I can't wait to see your ideas!
You should check out the Fake Card Resource Wiki for some nice Base Set blanks.

RE: Sheodon's Custom Cards
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the idea of the project, however, I think I'll use Nykoban Ryu's template, since I have everything I need with it.
Okay, here's a card which is now a finished card, with the official template I'll use for the other cards, also represents a concept which will return, and you'll get an image about the whole project.

RE: Sheodon's Custom Cards
OMG! Not Lavender Town! That place is so creepy! Every time I leave there, it feels like something is following me (it's like I become the trainer and I really feel a presence behind me, or something lightly touching my shoulder). I also feel that something terrible would happen if I ever saved my game there and turned it off.
The Ghost Magikarp is really interesting. The background seems a bit out of place (it's rather BW-esque), but still a really neat card.
That Charmander card is freaking creepy! Dat-dat-dat-dat dat-dat-dat-dat... LEAVE NOW!
"Lavender's" in the description of the second attack should just be "Lavender". "Into" should just be "to". You also don't need "Then" in the last sentence and "Deck" doesn't need to be capitalized.
Keep 'em coming!

RE: Sheodon's Custom Cards
Yeah I know what you mean. That place is really creepy and haunting and the people feels that place is not belong to that universe. I mean, it's not for a children's game at all. It's more mature, if you think about the details, it's really sad and something which should make even an adult thinking about important questions, or even would make them said, not children.
Yeah, the effect is nice, but I think I'll recreate it with your template. As I realized it fits perfectly with the theme, and then I'll use a new background for it.
Yeah, that fits perfectly with the Lavender theme.I agree that Lavender's should be Lavender, but for me, it's not a big error at all, as named cards and effects were not used since Gym sets. However, all the other wordings are correct as I found them in DP-P card effects.
Thank you for the comment! It is really appreciated!
Nevermind, fixed it:

RE: Lavender Theory (& Sheodon's other cards)
Here it is. The infamous ghost from the tower. Now perfectly cooperating with its pals... and who knows which Pokémon could its true form be? Are you brave enough to stay in Lavender town and discover that?
...get out...

RE: Lavender Theory (& Sheodon's other cards)
And here's the first evolution card from this mysterious place. Even thought its basic form wasn't revealed yet, thankfully to ???, it's still playable and a really good beater AND support for the type. Here's Raichu.
And to make this project a bit more interesting and interactive: which Pokémon do you want to see corrupted, in its "Lavender-form"? Do you have any specific requests or ideas which are a bit strange compared to original Pokémon? Share it here and let's start a conversation!
Also I'm still interested in your opinion about the cards, not just Raichu and ???, but all the others too. Feel free to comment, even if you don't like these cards, tell me why, or if you liked them, tell it why. All responses are appreciated.

RE: Lavender Theory (& Sheodon's other cards)
I like your fakes. ??? is like the Ditto from BC just that from Lavender. Exeggcute is just broken. SSU and start spamming supporting Lavender pokemon that you discarded while adding 10 more HP to your Pokemon. Raichu gives another energy attachment (like Delta Flygon). Do a super broken scary Mewtwo. Kingdra (or Horsea) will look nice in the Lavender Theory.

RE: Lavender Theory (& Sheodon's other cards)
Thank you so much! Your response is really appreciated! Yeah, ??? is like Ditto, or Brock's Ninetales from the old Gym set, but it's a bit more specific for this type, as I didn't want to create a staple, but something which helps the type, since I wanted to make this type a decent deck type which is also based on Evolution, not just huge basics.
Even thought I ignored B&W cards (like legendary basics and EXs), I agree that Scoop cards (Scoop Up, Super Scoop Up, Seeker) if we check all Unlimited cards, can be broken with Exeggcute, but since it can be shot on the bench and it's useless alone, I tried to give it a support which works well with the others, or even with more Exeggcutes. Maybe I'll modify it, but still I can promise I won't make any scoop-up cards for this Deck.
Yeah I agree, Raichu is like Delta Flygon which works pretty fine not just with the others, but it can be the star of its own Deck, as it also works alone without any other beaters.
Yeah, of course, it wouldn't be a real set project without adding any legendaries. I also thought about Mewtwo, but I'm also opened for any ideas which Pokémon shall I include as a legendary for this deck type. I'm also a big fan of Kingdra, just like any other Dragon-Type Pokémon, so it has a high chance to be included.
Oh, and one other thing. Did anyone notice that the Pokémon Dex Entries were substituted by journal entries written by an unknown traveller who experienced the phenomenons of Lavender Town?
UPDATE: Here's the basic form of the aforementioned card. The corrupted version of a well-known Pokémon. Lavender's Pikachu.
My previous message is still valid, if you have any Pokémon you want to see "lavender'd", feel free to write it here!

It is true what the man said. Are you going to do trainers too? That would be interesting. More evil Dusknoir/Gengar would be sweet.

RE: Lavender Theory (& Sheodon's other cards)
Yeah, those journal entries are really fun to write! It's just more entertaining and more interesting than objective well-known facts about Pokémon. I also thought about creating some trainers, but at the moment I have no idea what kind of trainer cards shall I create. Of course, I have an idea or two to include, but nothing special at the moment. Maybe creating a Trainer which would change a Pokémon to a corrupted version (Charmander -> Lavender's Charmander, for example), but it wouldn't be so effective gameplay-wise. Ghost and/or evil Pokémon, like Gengar are planned and will be included, in fact, Gengar will appear but it will be an interesting card, you'll see why.

Hehe, love the art as I'm really into horror. Never seen scary Pokemon before...
I'd really like to do a few pieces of artwork for you, but I can only draw a few Pokemon well.

I like these, creepypasta for the TCG. Just one thing, maybe add a clause to ??? that it can't be attacked without an evolution card on it and have it remove damage counters from itself until it only has 2 damage counters on it when the evolution card is taken off. Make it more like the terrifying unbeatable thing that it is.
It's weird how Lavender Town doesn't even remind me of Pokémon... When I played on Pokémon Fire Red, I forgot I was playing on Pokémon when I
entered Lavender Tower. And it's easy to forget it's just a script written by the Pokémon Company...
Even listening to the theme tune for Lavender Town gives me a headache...

Thank you so much for the comments! They are really appreciated! Yeah, Lavender Town is a totally different place, and that's why I thought it's a perfect excuse to create a totally unique Pokémon TCG project never seen before!
Thanks, and I also wanted to create ??? to be invincible, but then I realized if I create him as a perfect stalling card, then it would became a staple card in most Decks, so that's why I decided to make the ghosts into shapeshifters, as they are revealing their real forms after using the Silph Scope.
By the way, update! Another theory about Venonat, and their real evolutions. They look too familiar to not being related. In Lavender Town, you cannot be sure about the evolution lines neither.
Comments are appreciated, as always!

I think that Butterfree image could be scarier, but they do look cool!
Wish these were a real TCG set!
