MY JUDGING:
Godzfirefly's Hitmonchan Lv. 38!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [19/30]The card's concept is pretty cool. It's not good enough to be used competitvely but still a cool card. Fitness Buff is fair as well as everything else. It's also fitting with his general role,which is always a bonus.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [12/20] It's very fair card, that could be printed instantly.I knocked you off 2 points for a double Psychic weakness which is a bit too much and it didn't get that high, simply because it didn't do anything, creatively.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [20/20] Clear pictures and good comparisons to show his fitness! I love this, full marks.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [15/15] Everything checks out. Full marks.
JOB CONSISTENCY [13/15] While it does it's job, it doesn't quite sell it with a 'Practiced Uppercut',which has more to do with martial arts than actual fitness.Small mistake, this is an overall excellent card!
79/100
meditite rox's Tropius Lv.30!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [25/30] A Tropius all about healing through healthy activity, but not destroyed in use by a cool attack to balance it out. Tropical Storm also arguably works together with the Fruitful power.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [17/20]Well balanced, Can hit high as needed, accelerate, this card is really cool and give Tropius a fighting chance as a viable Pokemon! Good show! Only nitpick is the lower retreat cost. Tropius actually isn't very speedy, and the manner of the card suggests bulkiness anyway....10 more HP and an extra retreat cost is an order.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [14/20] Aw jeez. This might seem like nitpicking but....I'm not sure Mankey can smile. He doesn't seem to have a mouth ya know? I'm unsure. But in concept it's sound and pretty cute. The flavor is OK, though it says less about Tropius and more about fruit.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [15/15]Checks out.
JOB CONSISTENCY [15/15] Well done, full marks. I DO hate to give out such a high score this early in the game...
86/100
wally's Linoone Lv. 30!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [20/30] One I don't think I thought of. It pretty much fits Linoone,no problems there. Benefits to being efficient, recycling,it's all good here.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [6/20] Aw jeez man. Trash Recycle is cool and all and pretty well balance but, my god,is Tidy Benefit broken. Even discarding 3 cards doesn't matter. Thanks to Claydol the hand is totally replenishable and being able to hit 100 left and right wherever you want is madness.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [16/20]Very cute, makes it seem nice. Kinda wish the picture was outside.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [12/15] Small mistake on the order of the power clauses.
JOB CONSISTENCY [10/15] I hadn't reall mentioned cleanliness but I guess it's a nice thought.
64/100
Lucario EX's Medicham NJ Lv. 31!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [13/30] It doesn't feel...well thought out. Undeniably simple and a little on the side of not making much sense with Nurse Joy. Excercising makign WHATEVER is active do more damage doesn't make much sense either.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [6/20]Hitting 1 for 50 is pretty hot as it is, but adding 20 to anything? This would be a 1 of tech where ever it could fit.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [18/20]Well executed and unfortunately the best part of this card.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [15/15]Checks out.
JOB CONSISTENCY [13/15] Consistent, but not very creative.
65/100
greenzangoose's Arcanine H Lv. 37!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [15/30]This is really plain and only promotes health in the faintest sense. Power feels like it should be a body, and kind of broken. The concept of a speedy Pokemon with low HP and 2 retreat cost is....maddening.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [0/20] Broken. In a lot of senses.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [5/20]Not very descriptive.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [8/15] Missing capitalizations, incorrect spotrophe placements, etc.
JOB CONSISTENCY [9/15] It sort of fits but doesn't do much promotion.
37/100
ensignmerlin's Blissey H Lv. 23!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [2/30] I-I don't know what to say here. The attack makes no sense and the body is outclassed by Zangoose of all things. Also lack of double weakness again.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [2/20] I barely know what this card does, but what I understand fromt he attacks makes it broken.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [0/20]No flavor here.
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [9/15] Various small mistakes.
JOB CONSISTENCY [10/15] This seems to be promoting the idea of health over BECOMING healthy or MAINTAINING it.
23/100
charmander rox's Alakazam SN Lv. 43!
CARD MECHANICS AND CONCEPT [20/30] In concept it's great though it has problems with cards that don't list statistics like Height and Weight.
CARD EXECUTION AND BALANCE [12/20] Power drawback might be too heavy and cost maybe should be [P][C] to allow for Energy Gain.Overall balanced.
FLAVOR AND PICTURE [16/20]Very smart.I can also imagine a pair of glasses. :]
GRAMMAR AND SPELLING [15/15] Seems clean.
JOB CONSISTENCY [11/15]I guess in a sense studying and brain excercise is like, in the area, but it's not exactly what was in mind. Still, good job.

Hitmonchan Lv. 38 -80HP- [F]
Basic Pokémon
Picture: A Hitmonchan in the foreground is in a gym delivering swift blows to a heavy punching bag that is reeling away from the blows.

W- [P]x2
R-
RC- [C]
Card Mechanics and Concept: 30/30. Very Nice. I like the Practiced Uppercut. It's quite innovative.
Card Execution and Balance: 19/20. My only qualm is the 80 HP. That plus no special conditions built in is a little broken...
Flavor and Picture: 20/20. Very nice. I can see this card in my mind.
Grammar and Spelling: 15/15. Perfect!
Job Consistancy: 15/15. Awesome. Maybe I should start exercising to not end up like the Snorlax mentioned... XD.
Total: 99/100
Tropius LV.30 HP80 [G]
BASIC
There is a Tropius standing in a forest, and a Mankey is sitting on its back, holding a banana to the frame. Both are smiling. The banana is unpeeled, and it appears Mankey has taken a bite and enjoyed it.
[Poké-POWER] Fruitful
Once during your turn (before you attack), if Tropius is on your Bench, you may discard 1 card from your hand and flip a coin. If heads, search your discard pile for 1 basic [G] Energy card and attach it to your Active Pokémon.
[.] Rest
Remove all Special Conditions and 3 damage counters from Tropius. Tropius is now Asleep.
[G][C] Tropical Storm 20+
Does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each basic [G] Energy card attached to each of your Benched Pokémon.
Fruits, such as the bananas on the neck of TROPIUS are high in water, fiber, vitamin C.
W:[R]+20
R:[F]-20
RC:[C]
Card Mechanics and Concept: 26/30. I like the card, but the attacks are slightly overused.
Card Execution and Balance: 17/20. The power seems underpowered...
Flavor and Picture: 20/20. Very Good!
Grammar and Spelling: 15/15. Perfect!
Job Consistency: 11/15. Though it does represent healthy eating, the card doesn't quite reflect the topic.
Total: 90/100
Linoone Lv. 30 90 HP [C]
Stage 1 - Evolves from Zigzagoon.
Pic : A few smashed cans lay in a messy living room, a Linoone is picking one of the cans up and a few Zigzagoon are helping the Linoone. A Plusle and Minun is carrying a trash can full of rubbish through the glass door of the living room.
Poké-Power : Trash Recycle
Once during your turn (before you attack), you may search your discard pile for a card and put it in your hand. You can't use more than 1 Trash Recycle Poké-Power each turn. You can't use this power if Linoone is affected by a Special Condition or if you have more than 6 cards in your hand.
[C][C][C] Tidy Benefit
You may discard up to 3 cards from your hand. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage to the chosen Pokémon for each card discarded in this way (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon).
W - [F] +20
R - [-]
RC - [C]
Linoone always keeps its environment clean so that it can stay away from harmful disease.
Card Mechanics and Concept: 30/30. I like the Reverse Quick Search.
Card Execution and Balance: 14/20. I would have prefered 80 HP for a searcher...
Flavor and Picture: 17/20. The flavor and picture are too topic-based.
Grammar and Spelling: 15/15. Perfect!
Job Consistency: 14/15. REcycling is good, but the card is a little too pro-Green.
Total: 89/100

Lucario EX:
Medicham NJ Lv. 31 100 HP
(F) Basic
SP: Nurse Joy's Pokémon.
Picture: Shows a Medicham doing pushups. The core of an apple is on the ground. The background is a forest, with a few rays of sunlight shining through the trees. The picture is in a simple, cartoon-like style.
PokéPower Exercise
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Until the end of your turn, your Active Pokémon's attacks do 20 more damage. This power can't be used if Medicham NJ is affected by a Special Condition. You can't use more than 1 Exercise PokéPower per turn.
(F)(C) Rapid Punch 30
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Medicham gained amazing power.
Weakness (P)x2 Resistance 0 Retreat Cost (C)
Card Mechanics and Concept: 30/30. It does fit all the criteria here.
Card Execution and Balance: 8/20. Exercise is ridiculous with the RR Nidoking. all of your attacks would be doing auto +40.... A tad broken in my opinion.... 100 on a basic is too much as well.
Flavor and Picture: 20/20 The picture and flavor text work.
Grammar and Spelling: 15/15 No errors.
Job Consistency: 15/15 It fits the theme.
Total: 88/100

[Arcanine is moving forward so fast that the area around him is simply a blur of trees.]
Basic Pokémon (Health Pokémon)
(Triathlete's Arcanine)
Poké-Power: Extreme Speed
Once during your turn (before you attack), when Arcanine H becomes your Active Pokémon from being Benched, you may put 3 damage counters on the Defending Pokémon.
(F)(F)(C) Flash Fire 40
After doing damage, switch Arcanine H with 1 of your benched pokémon
(Lot's of running has turned Arcanine into one of the fastest Pokémon.)
Weakness: (W) +30
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: (C)(C)
Card Mechanics and Concept: 20/30. It really don't see the theme here. Extremespeed is a little vague on the health bit.
Card Execution and Balance: 5/20. Extremespeed is broken. Putting 3 damage counters on the defending pokemon every turn is a little broken.
Flavor and Picture: 16/20. The picture could've used a little more description.
Grammar and Spelling: 8/15. Acranine should be Arcanine. Lot's should be Lots.
Job Consistency: 6/15. I don't really see a Healthy theme here.
Total: 55/100
EnsignMerlin:
Blissey H Lv.23 110HP [C]
Basic Pokémon
(Health Pokémon)
PokéBody: Strong Immunity.
If Chansey H is affected by a special condition you may flip a coin. If heads, remove that special condtition. You can only use this effect once per turn.
[C][C] Intensive Care
If Chansey H has more HP remaining than the Defending Pokémon and is affected by fewer special conditions, shuffle the Defending Pokémon into your opponent's deck.
__________________________
Weakness:[F]+20
Resistance:
Retreat Cost:[C][C]
Card Mechanics and Concept: 24/30. Blissey usually has a healing damage counters theme, not special conditions.
Card Execution and Balance: 8/20. 110 Hp is way too much for a Basic, and an SP... Plus it's attack is ridiculous. Intensive Care is too broken. You should be able to Bench your opponent with a basic pokemon that has 110 HP.. This plus Upper energy is broken...
Flavor and Picture: 0/20. None here.
Grammar and Spelling: 4/15. Special Condition should be capitalized. Chansey isn't Blissey.
Job Consistency: 9/15. It works, but could've been better.
Total: 45/100.

Alakazam SN LV.43 90HP [P]
BASIC
[Alakazam is bent over a book, scrutinizing every word, holding up a lantern to read in the dark,]
Super Nerd Pokémon
[Poké-POWER] Concentration
Once during your turn (before you attack), when you play Alakazam SN from your hand to your Bench, you may use this power. Your opponent selects 1 Pokémon that he or she has in play, then chooses either the Basic Pokémon card or one of the Evolution cards. Look over the selected card. Then, your opponent hides the card from you and asks for you to either state its name, level, type, HP, Stage, number, Height, Weight, Poké-Power name, Poké-Body name, attack name, attack damage, attack cost, Weakness, Resistance, or Retreat Cost. Look at the card. If you got the answer right, draw 5 cards. If you got the answer wrong, your turn ends now. (You don't get to attack.) Either way, return that card to its earlier position.
[P][P] Insightful Advice 30
Look at your opponent's hand.
Through healthy mind games, Alakazam has become the master of reading and observation.

Team PayDay Total 508
Team GLEC total 487
I was really disappointed in Team GLEC this round. Even with a missing member, PayDay really stole the show. Now, as leader, greenzangoose is immune to being fired.THIS ROUND. Soon, the leaders will change.
Lucario EX, ensignmerlin, and charmander rox--Meet me here in the 'boardroom', and explain:Why did the team fail this round? Who was doing their job right, and being productive, and who was not?
