Well, it's friday. And guess what? Judging isn't finished. I have to do this, so Napoleon's judging is going up guys (only his), and his four lowest are gone. I apologize to all contestants and Napoleon, I will promise to post mine only next time so he can have a break.
Electabuzz Lv.X
Balance: 8 points
Creativity: 6 points
Neatness: 7 points
Originality: 14 points
Overall: 38
You made some spelling mistakes and in some cases used the wrong symbol. The power was way too good to be used for free. The some attacks and the power were previously made and you also lost marks for that.
Qwilfish Lv.X
Balance: 7 points
Creativity: 9 points
Neatness: 10
Originality: 17
Overall: 43 points
This is a wonderful card. It has good spelling and grammar, consistently uses symbols and is very spaced out and neat. You had very creative attack and power names. You have balanced out the card by adding the Poison Subtype although the second attack is a bit overpowered. You also kept a good HP level.
Heracross Lv.X
Balance: 5 points
Creativity: 9 points
Neatness: 8 points
Originality: 18 points
Overall: 40 points
This card is a bit too strong. Vigor is particularly overpowered. You are attaching litereally 3 energies in one turn when you include your normal attachment. The body is also overpowered. You tried to balance the second attack, but remember that 99 % of the time your opponent will have a benched Pokemon or you can attack with another Pokemon. You kept the card neat and came up with some good names.
Spiritomb Lv.X
Balance: 6 points
Creativity: 9 points
Neatness: 10 points
Originality: 20 points
Overall: 45 points
The Pain, the Pain, THE PAIN!!! You kept using the word pain. It pains me, but I took marks off for that. Quite neat, although you forgot about the balance part. You had a very cheap power. Used with Super Scoop Up, this card is definitely NOT very balanced. You made up for the cheapness by making all the effects and the attacks very original. A fair resistance and retreat cost.
Magnemite Lv.X
Balance: 6 points
Creativity: 8 points
Neatness: 9 ponts
Originality: 20 points
Overall: 43 points
The power is too good. Warp points, Palkia, you name it, it makes the Magnemite Lv.X broken. You could be doing 150 damage in a single turn, before you attack! It was very creative though, especially because Magnemite is a Basic Pokemon whose stage 2 already has a Lv.X. Very neat and you made a good weakness, resistance and retreat.
Snover Lv.X
Balance: 8 points
Creativity: 9 points
Neatness: 5 points
Originality: 14 points
Overall: 36 points
I could almost say that your Blizzard is underpowered. If there was another way to get Cold Markers on Snover, you would lose marks, but having the effect of needing a Cold Marker is good. The attack names are already made. The power is nice. You lost a lot for neatness because the first attack was really badly worded.
Ekans Lv.X
Balance: 8 points
Creativity: 9 points
Neatness: 5 points
Originality: 16 points
Overall: 38 points
You came up with the good idea of not erasing the poison effect, but upgrading it with the first attack. Your second attack works very much like an overpowered Split Bomb. You made a few spelling and grammar mistakes and you also did not give the card the same type of wording that normal cards have. e.g. the first attack.
Skarmory Lv.X
Balance: 7 points
Creativity: 10 points
Neatness: 9 points
Originality: 19 points
Overall: 45 points
This is a very nice card. It is not the same as anything in the Pokemon world. You forgot to tell us whether or not the Skarmory player chooses which pokemon to switch to using Stealth Rock. I think it was very creative to give a Steel Type Pokemon Fighting Type attacks and energy cost. Your card does lose marks because of possible combos (Ariados MT. 4 Ariados + Skarmory would give your opponent's Pokemon +6 Retreat cost, on top of their normal retreat cost.) I would play this card if it existed.
Scyther Lv.X
Balance: 8 points
Creativity: 8 points
Neatness: 6 points
Originality: 18.5 points
Overall: 42 points
A very interesting power, which could be a very decisive and tactical move in a game. Your attack, Multiple Blades, is a bit confusing, and loses you marks because the average player may take time to figure that out. It is very new though, and gains you marks as well.
Snover Lv.X
Balance: 7 points
Creativity: 8 points
Neatness: 10 points
Originality: 11 points
Overall: 36 points
A competitor has previously used Snover as their Pokemon. As a result, the idea itself is not very original. It is allowed, but not original. You damaged a potentially perfect card there. This card, although, has different attacks and powers. It has a good power and a very balanced Weakness, resistance and retreat cost. Your attacks, however, are a bit too powerful. Absolute Zero is particularly overpowered.
Ralts Lv.X
Balance: 7
Creativity: 10
Neatness: 9
Originality: 19
Overall: 45
Your card works very well with itself. It has a slightly - and I accent the word slightly - overpowered PokePower. It has a fair weakness, Resistance and a retreat cost which is too good for a Ralts. However, you lost more marks because you including a potentially devastating attack. The two ends of the scales are set right out of balance with that attack. Later in the game, this card may prove to be a formidable force. You lost marks on neatness because of a spelling mistake.
Onix Lv.X
Balance: 8
Creativity: 10
Neatness: 7
Originality: 19
Overall: 44
A nice card. You came up with a good power. It is a bit too powerful as an effect, though. Super Scoop Up combo'd with this card could set you up for major damage. The first attack is very balanced. If there were marks for each attack you would get full marks for the first one. The second attack is also very balanced and works well with the power. I question your retreat cost though, since the card is so powerful already.
Tropius Lv.X
Balance: 6
Creativity: 8
Neatness: 7
Originality: 17
Overall: 38
Your power is a bit too good. It doesn't have a backfire or balancer. Your first attack is good, but uses the same concept as Prinplup DP etc. Fruit Punch is way powerful when you consider the possible combos with Sceptile. On its own, it is also too strong. Possible confusion and guaranteed 90 damage. The retreat, weakness and resistance were very balanced, and your attack names were very nice.
Abra Lv.X
Balance: 9
Creativity: 7
Neatness: 10
Originality: 15
Overall: 41
You have used attack names which have been previously made. You also used effects and an ability that have already been made. However, you kept the card neat and I also add marks for adding the retreat cost of one. This shows that you are considering effects that stop powers so that Abra is forced to reteat using energies.
Absol Lv.X
Balance: 7
Creativity: 8
Neatness: 9
Originality: 19
Overall: 43
The power is a bit overpowered but you evened that out using the flips. You had a fair attack and also good retreat, Resistance and Weakness. You came up with some good attack names and overall you made a well-rounded card. You did lose marks for the way you set out the last line.
Pikachu LV.X
Balance: 9
Creativity: 10
Neatness: 10
Originality: 18
Overall: 47
Bravo. The best card out of anybody's (no offense). The way that protective charge and overload hammer work together is a great combo, and the affect of overoad hammer is something that works surprisingly well together. The only thing I didn't liek was that the HP was a little higher than normal and the whole reducing damage via poke-body is something I've seen around. But still, terrific card.
So, four people are going home. But we have a little problem. There is a three way tie with a score of 38. So, jameswilliams1324, DEOXEYS cool form 7777777, and afstandopleren are will be in a seperate contest where the theme is...Bad Supproter cards! Yes, I am not kidding. The same way you were judged last round (creativity, orginality, etc.) will be reused for this round.
shinygyarados and nnaann are eliminated this round. But we got some great prizes for them, don't we? What? The economy is so bad in america that we can't afford the prizes? But they're cheap little blow up Ultra Balls? Darn. Oh well. No prizes.
BUT! I did review one card. ensignmerlin's Pikachu.

Do I hear arguing with the judges?
Vigor...underpowered? Right (uuhhhhh....). Still, it was a great card and I am usually a harsh judge but I decided to be nice :biggrin: It would get murdered in today's game, but is that a marking criteria? Heck no! It would take half an hour to mark just that category!!!!!! And two words about the "double weak to psychic."... Bubble...Coat.
And Anime I am absolutely fine with judging every category until the end of January. I start school on the 29th? and that is when I will get busy.

I don't think that it's right that I lost points for using the same Pokemon as someone else.
1) Because I didn't read what everyone else put before I posted, and 2) because I had made that card right away, but didn't get the chance to post it due to a crappy internet connection.

OK, guys, lets stop the "Who's the oldest?" argument. One, it's pointless; two, who really cares; and three, it's still pointless. Let's play nice, y'all.

I made some many mistakes in that round that if you guys read before, I allowed him to use it that round. I had originally only posted Baby, evolved, and starters, but edited it later. My mistake, and I allowed to use the card.
You can right now.
No real time limit just post the cards asap.

Question, what do you mean with Bad Supporter Cards? Could you specify?
ensignmerlin
Active Member
Well, Carrignton's kinda stuck back in the days before poison became [P] instead of [G] and refuses to acknowledge that Dark Pokémon from team rocket are now Dark typed.
Sunflorazumarril only posts when Carrington does, and mostly in the same style.
As for you, I might have a little bit of seniority over you, or perhaps you have a tiny bit over me xD I think we joined somewhere around the same time.
(Just checked, I've been here 1 month longer than you Charizard xD)

A supporter that wouldn't be used by the popularity of players. It doesn't have to be a brokenly bad card, but something that people probably wouldn't play. AKA: Mom's Kindness with a little more bing and bang.

umm why I get the boot for sure if three other people who have the same score as me do not?

Team Rocket's Luck - Supporter
Supporter Blah
Discard your hand. Then, flip a coin. If heads, draw 1 card.
You can't play this card if you have less then 5 cards in your hand.
Unless you have a deck that needs some cards in the discard pile, this won't be played much IMHO.
