Contest PokéBeach Create-A-Card: April 2018 - Member's Pokemon ~ Official Judging Up!

Now for my card!
DragonFang101’s Druddigon EX / Basic/ HP:120 /Dragon
[C][C]Dragon Fang: 50
Discard the card on the top of your deck.
[C][C][C][C] Dragon Rush: 50+
You can discard an energy card attached to this Pokemon. If so, this attack does 50 more damage.
Weakness: Dragon+10
Resistance: Grass -20
Retreat Cost: [C][C]
When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Inspiration:
I wanted to make an EX card and since Druddigon was introduced in BW where EX cards were, I decided to use this Pokemon for it. also the random dragon type I generated was druddigon
 
Oh, I feel I always get the most gimmicky months to judge :p
Anyways, don't you rush making a Luispipe8's Gallade, it won't get you any bonus points. :v
But I'm eager to see everyone's entries, so best of luck to all of you!
 
Am I correct to assume that one must use the member's PokéBeach username (rather than their username from another site or real name, if known)?

Do we have to portray the members as Pokémon or can we do trainers/energy? :knife:

The cards should still be of Pokemon, yeah.

You can use a different username / real name, but make sure you clarify that when you post an entry. (If you use their real name, make sure you also get their permission first!)

Patience, young padawan! March only just finished. We're currently expecting them to be done mid-April.

➤ Thoughts
I told people I wasn't interested in submitting for this month simply because of the theme, which while I found very unique and exciting, hurt me due to needing something different to base my cards off of, instead of just being the people I know. I could have went with the ever popular choices, people like double o squirtle, Vracken, mirdo, or any of the bigger faces for the creative community, such as the mods or other avid fakers. But I thought that was going to be overdone, and some of those people would just be an easy reference to inside jokes, things like Cody making puns or Vracken being a Gengar. My actual first idea had been to make one for Vracken, but I thought it wouldn't be special or important to gift to him if everyone else did, so unfortunately I had to think of someone else. I wanted to make something truly unique.

I want to keep my basis inside PokéBeach but while being clever pick something that's not only important to someone else, but important to me, as these are the cards I'm creating, and I want to have fun and be creative with them. I ended up having a great creative idea on who I would make my entry based off and some interesting mechanics or flavour to write them in. Therefore, someone I think should be picked but don't think anyone else would pick, would be Lorde.

PokéBeach Big Brother 3 was something I really enjoyed and something I really think connected Lorde and I better, and I would say we're closer now because of it. The card's ability and attacks are all named after her being the person who rallied our alliance in that game and the GX attack uses a clever little pun to convey both one of her most favourite and notable Pokémon, as well as how she ended up winning that game in the final landslide vote. She really was the queen of that game.

I thought of using other names for attacks, two of the names I thought of were "White Snow" and "Schneestorm" as a reference to both of our connections to RWBY and becoming friends over it, but thought it would hurt the current theme, and not to mention, how silly I think attacking with "Schneestorm" would sound.

Lorde worked together with TheR3DX to create text fakes for GekkisaiDaiNi and I, and also created a Luxray for my most recent birthday. I don't fake as often as she has, but I hope this is a wonderful way to give back my thanks to her. Thank you Lorde, I hope you like this one.

See you next month, hopefully!
