Thank you. We shall see if you really know where this contest is headed.
Amazingly enough, you forgot Level, picutre, and flavor text. Was this on purpose?

I think I know the answer here, but...Is the Entry Challenge an elimination Challenge, as well?

That's because all of the internal post IDs of the cards starting with Darkrai are all the same. All you were changing between entries are the numbers of the post order in the topic. I'm sure you're familiar with something like this (using the real Darkrai post as an example):
http://www.pokegym.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1394131&postcount=10
The boldfaced part is what you haven't been changing to reflect the correct posts; you were changing only the italicized part while leaving the boldfaced part the same. If you really want to fix the links that come after Darkrai, you're best off clicking on the post number of the post in question and copy the URL, or at least what comes after the "p=", and pasting it onto the correct listing. For example, if Godzfirefly's post above was an actual entry, the boldfaced number would be 1395542 and the italicized number would be 46.

Random suggestion times (only because this round is not being graded; this is to improve everybody):
Godzfirefly: Great Job, almost nothing wrong with it, replace "it" with "the Defending Pokémon".
GlaceonFTW: Capitalize Defending, put the w/r clause for Nevermeltice in parenthesis, and capitalize both W and R, capitalize "energy", remove "This attack" from Snowstorm, put the period after the parenthesis, capitalize both W and R, you should probably increase W to +20, because 1. It has incredibly good attacks (possibly broken), and 2. Xatu had relatively poor attacks, only worked well on the Bench, and Metapod had only 70HP.
wally: Add é to stage, Midnight Glow is broken, replace "all" with "each", capitalize Energy, Luring is also broken, "in play" should be removed, replace "wonders" with "wanders".
The Supes: Replace "cannot" with "can't", replace each "last turn" with "during your last turn", replace "materal" with "material", don't capitalize diamond, replace "their" with "its".
Lucario EX: Amazing, no errors spotted.
vadrake: Replace "Once per turn" with "Once during each player's turn", add where the 2 cards are being discarded from, replace "If you used a basic [G] Energy card to pay for this attacks cost" with "If there are any basic [G] Energy cards attached to Roserade", capitatlize Retreat Cost, Weather Ball's damage should be "50+" replace "color" with "type", replace "this attack does an additional 20 damage" with "this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage", capitalize Burned, capitalize Confused, replace "countera" with "counters", capitalize Grass.
DarthPika: Lower HP to 90, Static Glow is broken, add a comma between "attack" and "place", replace "place" with "put", replace "opponents" with "opponent's" twice, replace "attacked" with "attack", remove the period in the parenthesis and move the other period after the parenthesis twice, don't capitalize deck, replace "Raichu's" with "Raichu".
Qwachansey: Change wording on Innocence to "Reduce all damage done to... by 20", add whether it is before or after W and R (probably before), replace "cannot" with "can't", capitalize Knocked Out, replace "one" with "1", capitalize Evolved,
Super wooper trooper: Add "(before you attack)" to Paint Over, capitalize Active, put "and 1 basic Energy card attached to Smeargle" after "Active Pokémon", remove "Then, you may", remove "in", change wording to "... to the type of that basic Energy card until...", remove "different", capitalize Energy, put card after "Energy".
NidoPrince: Great Job, Replace "your" with "an", replace "would be" with "is", change the last sentence to "This has no effect if the attack has no base damage."
ensignmerlin: Excellent, why is it a Basic?, put a comma after "your", move "after doing damage" to the front of the sentence and remove the parenthesis, add "20 damage plus" before "20 more damage".
Cardzmaster2004: Use é, add "(before you attack),", replace "opponent'" with "opponent's", capitalize Energy, add "card" after "Energy", replace "a" with "1", replace "cannot" with "can't", capitalize Defending, replace "dealing" with "doing", add "Benched" before "Pokémon", replace "a Sludge counter" with "any Sludge counters".
superwolfs: Add Level, add Type, add HP, add Stage, add Evolution, replace "opponents" with "opponent's", replace "he/she" with "he or she", replace "thier" with "his or her", capitalize "if", add a comma after tails, change "the evolution fails" to "leave the Evolution card in your opponent's hand. You opponent may not try to evolve that Pokémon again during the same turn", replace "a" with "any", capitalize Energy, add "cards" after "Energy", replace "him" with "it", replace "them" with a comma, replace "opponents" with "opponent's", capitalize Benched, capitalize Pokémon, add the é, do the same things the second sentence. add W, R, and RC, add Flavor Text.
Note: This is the only round in which I will do this.

I have a question about the bolded statements. I am aware that "This attack" was removed from older cards like Absol ex. However, it has been put into cards such as Tyranitar SF, the link is below

Thank you for your criticism. I really appreiciated it.

Your example uses "This attack does..." and "Does..." curiously enough. It must depend on something, that I don't even know.

Okay. Thank you for explaining that.
I will now stop complaining...lol

Thanks for the improvements.... I think I`m slowly learning the Card creating art...
Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:
The links are still a bit...odd-ish. My, 'Smeargle' link leads to a reply from Godzfirefly and the 'Dragonite' link leads to my Slowpoke Card that doesn`t even enter the contest.... I really don`t care much about this but I don`t know how the judges will look at the cards so that might be problematic....

Thank you. When I wrote "before adding weakness and resistance", should I have placed the period in the parenthesis?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Grammatically, you should. But, Pokemon cards consistantly violate this grammatical rule and place commas and periods after the parenthesis. So, for consistancy, you should too.

Sorry, I was looking at something that said "before applying Weakness and Resistance" instead. My bad.
