DNA said:From now on I think I'll actually start paying attention to whether or not the text-based entries I get are Pokemon-EX and then dock points for Originality from that entry if I notice it.
In all seriousness, Pokemon-EX are overdone and I'm sick of seeing them. If your entry has to be an EX to get your point across, I honestly think you're doing it wrong. If the EX bit is just icing on the cake or whatever, it's not as bad.
Remember the month when a Torchic won image-based? It was beauty in simplicity. It's possible for a card to be beautiful without drowning in Twilight sparkles. (no PMJ, stop giving me a hard time)
and there goes my Registeel EX I had all planned out.
CMP, I guess I see your point. At first I thought you were anti-EX, but you're just saying if it is a standard EX that we've seen before, it's not as creative. Thanks for replying!
