It's time for this Pokegym's first Create a Card contest. For this contest, choose a Psychic or Ghost Pokemon or evolution line that existed in Gold, Silver and Crystal (I'm not familiar enough with Ruby and Sapphire to judge them), and create one card for each Pokemon in the line. For example, you can make a Mewtwo card; or an Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. Cards must be (P) type. One entry per person, please. Grading rubric below. If you choose a line, I will average the scores for the individual cards to give your overall score. Note: For this contest, each different-lettered Unown counts as its own line.
Name: 5 points. You can lose points for capitalization or misspelling.
HP: 5 points. Points based on appropriateness.
Weakness/Resistance: 10 points. Choose an appropriate Weakness and Resistance. Each may be none, if you think this is appropriate.
Retreat Cost: 5 points. Points based on how appropriate the Retreat Cost is.
Pokemon Power/Attacks: 30 points. You may not have more than 2 attacks, nor may you have two attacks and a Power. A Power is not required, although it is certainly allowed. Points in this category based on balance, appropriateness of effects and costs, and creativity.
Rarity: 5 points. Choose a rarity for the card: Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Rare Holo. Points based on how appropriate I think your choice is.
Picture: 5 points. Describe the picture. Points based on creativity and vividness of description.
Explanations: 10 points. For Weakness, Resistance, Retreat Cost, and Rarity, why did you choose the ones you did?
Strategy: 10 points. What real cards would this card go best with, and how is this card best used to its full potential? Points based on both quality and quantity of strategies included.
Total possible score: 80 points.
Contest ends 8/19. Please note the change. Good luck, everyone!
