Also, your randomly-generated Pokemon will be sent to you via PM and a list will be available in this thread as well.

Good luck to all! :)

So, are we supposed to know what the other contestant's Pokemon are? Because there's no list yet and everyone's being all hush-hush about their Pokemon.

You have no idea how much I hate to have Klang be the first pokemon to showcase my fabulous new blanks.

No. Idea.

So, my own blank, so hopefully this time I'll do better in placement.
Besides, I'd use them anyway; you ask for EX era? get these new blanks. Base set? New blanks. Yeah.

The card itself is simple, I tried to do something different in that this klang can only serve as support to other cards of its line and electric type pokemon. Usually 1st stages are measly steps to get a stage 2 on play, and not even that much, thanks to rare candy, so perhaps this klang can be a useful support on its own. Or not, after all, it's klang.

LOL I'd take Klang a thousand times over Nincada.

Gotta say, love the new blank. Probably my favorite that I've seen from you.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Sept. 2014 - Random

OP has been updated with the assigned Pokemon.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Sept. 2014 - Random

Confirmed with PMJ that I'll be working with him again as artist.

I kinda like the evocon in the middle as opposed to the upper corner. The symbols are nice but the Psychic and Colorless symbols kinda blend in with the Metal background. I imagine Metal symbols would be even worse. I'm not sure what to think of the blank itself, but maybe that's just because it's a dull gray Metal-type. Got any others?

Yeah, I think I might've been the luckiest on this thread when It comes to the Randomizer. I got Accelgor :D Xy Era

________________________________________
No. 617 Shell Out Pokémon HT: 2'07" WT: 55.8 lbs.
________________________________________
Ability: Inventory Toggle
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard an Item card from your hand. If you do, search your deck for an Item card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

[G] [G] [C] Critical Hit 50+
If your opponent has an even number of cards in his or her hand, this attack does 30 more damage and switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

Weakness: [R]X2 Resistance:

Retreat:
Having removed its heavy shell, it becomes very light and can fight with ninja-like movements.​

The whole theme around Accelgor's attacks was a stereotypical RPG like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger, and I feel that it ends up working out really nice. Being modeled after a ninja, I feel that the tricky, unique attack and ability that it has is very complementory to Accelgor's overall history(Deck And Cover). I don't think it's too OP, though, since your opponent can always use some kind of Catcher effect to pull it off the bench, and with 90HP and a fire Weakness, It will usually be OHKO'd.

As a little note, I like how the Ability and Attack have some synergy, since you can use the ability search out, say, Red Card, make your opponent draw 4, then use Critical Hit for higher damage and the switch effect. Overall, this is my favorite card I've made for CaC so far, and Accelgor is rounding out to be one of my new favorite Pokemon.

I know, I know. Still, working on the card, doing the art, designing a boutique, and finishing other homework at the time isn't too bad multitasking.
And I clearly don't care about the klink line anyway, so it's not so surprising me having a typo there. I mean, klink, klang and klinklang? did they try to get the most tongue-twisting names or did they just did a lot of drugs and wrote down the result?

As for the symbols, they don't blend so much, really, but sometimes you have a problem with the colors themselves. The metal symbol color is noticeably darker than the background, so it stands out just fine; psychic, on the other hand, is too full of white color, and in an already dark color, it overwhelms the little purple it does have. Normal is a lighter grey, so it blends more in the metal background than metal.

As for others:

I have these two, I was adjusting and testing the blank using them, so there might be some things a little off, but you can see here how the blended symbols interact with the background; normal, for example, will blend with almost anything, since it's a light gray, but I think it's noticeable enough.

Be careful with those blanks prof, they are using CG's/fangkings HGSS borders :) (credit etc)
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Sept. 2014 - Random

That's a sweet card Professorlight! I like that the info bar, the stage description, and the ability logo all match and have a really simple, clean look to it.

I too think the colourless and psychic symbols look a bit hard to see - perhaps saturate them a tad? Or give a slight shadow/outline just to help bring out the circular edges from the background a little.

Also, in for image based. I hope I get assigned something nice D:

Okay, I still needed to make my own borders, I was using that one as a placeholder.
The border is the same one I got from here years ago, I used it in my last submission, but it didn't say any names, just "pokebeach".

Thanks! if I were to be perfectly honest, it took me a bit of work to not make it look too much like your blanks; there was very little I could do to change how you organized things; it was just too good.

I'll look into the shadows, but I'm not sure about it, or the saturation; I still have to finish most of the backgrounds (I had to make metal specifically for klang) so I still don't know how the symbols interact with all the types.
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Sept. 2014 - Random

I like the Pokemon I got :3

[Basic] Spiritomb HP70 [D]

spiritomb.gif


(Ability) Spectral Curse
Once during your turn, you may place 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. If that Pokémon gets Knocked Out, take 1 less Prize card.

[D][C] Keystone Drop 30
Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Weakness:
Resistance: [F] -20
Retreat: [C][C]
It was bound to a fissure in an odd keystone as punishment for misdeeds 500 years ago.

This month I tried to go with a little less "predictable" moveset for Spiritomb. At first I really wanted to use the "108 spirits" in some way, but I just couldn't think of something that would sound awful (Ability: 108 Curses etc.), so I instead went with the Keystone itself. For the Ability, I got some inspiration from an old Gengar card, re-wrote it and added some extra stuff. Hopefully I got the wording correct, and good luck the rest of y'all my competetors! :D
 
RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Sept. 2014 - Random

This is for BCR-On. I've always wanted to do something like this and am glad that I got a Pokemon that fit.
[Ace Spec]

[Basic] Flygon EX HP170 [Dragon]

flygon.gif


[None] Sand Stream 20
Attach a [F] Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

[F][F] Fissure 180
Flip 2 coins. If either of them is tails, this attack does nothing.

Weakness: [W] x2
Resistance: [F] -20
Retreat: [C]

[When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.]
[You can't have more than 1 ACE SPEC card in your deck.]

I like the card but this is the worst art I've done for a CaC by far and I don't want to spend another hour drawing Delcatty.

I hate urban Pokemon.
