For a first time participating in the CaC contest, I'd say Luispipe did a good job on the wording!
Well, Gadget, I'm a Judge for a reason.
I first participated last November(and nailed that month, I gotta say, 50/50) and kept participating until February, that's when IA asked for a Judge, and I happily volunteered. If it was for me, I'd still participate every month, but I can't for obvious reasons. That's also one of the reasons I'm taking a break next month, so I can give a little more focus to University and also to participate on my own once again.
Allow me to explain the wording on the card: (I did only the wording; the illustration, card, placement, etc was all Arctic
)
I
am well aware that not a single Pokémon SP evolves. But why shouldn't they? I mean, we have a Turtwig GL. I'm very sure that that exact Turtwig hasn't lost all potential to evolve, and will, someday. Budew's the same case. At first I wanted to include that as the "Baby Evolution" Poké-POWER, but that would have been cheesy and not very original. Also, being Budew a Baby Pokémon, Roselia GL can be played with Budew GL nowhere to be found, so it's like an optional move to play that. It it was something like a Shinx, or Sneasel, that wouldn't make that much sense. I included the Synthetic Evolution Power so it can't normally evolve into Roselia GL. But apart from that, it has every other trait a Pokémon SP should have: Different HP, no Dex. Data, the owner... I just added a little twist to make it original(and gotta say that the original idea to make it a Pokémon SP was Arctic's, so credit on that goes to her). Even though it
might dock a point or two in Believability, it sure boosts Creativity(at least from my Judge's point of view, but can't speak for Spoon, that's just my expectation).
Also, thanks a lot since now, Arctic, working with you was a lot of fun, hope we can enter together again sometime in the future!
And... My... 1000th Post!!!
