Requirements To Join


You must own a Pokemon to participate. Sorry, you cannot borrow another trainer's Pokemon and use it in this contest.

You must have the uncert for your Pokemon in order to receive an edit. Be sure to check through the certing thread if you have to relocate it, or if your Pokemon is from the old shop, drop a request in the old uncert request.

Your pokemon cannot be a wild Pokemon. If your Pokemon happened to have changed specialties lately, be sure to update that accordingly in the character/Pokemon registration thread.

You must finish all your RP posts for this in a timely manner. I cannot stress this enough! Contests are going to be approximately a month long and hopefully will be long enough to wrap everything up. Please only sign-up if you're positive you can reach each deadline! I understand Murphy's law is always in effect and anything can happen, but I will have no choice but to disqualify you if you do not respond within the given time frames!

Contest Guidebook: Performance Section

Example of how an appeal should be set up.


After sign-ups are complete, the contest will start June 1st. You will be given until June 7th at 11:59 PM EST to make a thread in this forum that contains your performance entry.

Your thread title should be titled [*Pokemon name* the *Pokemon specialty here* *Pokemon species here*] -witty title here-
For example, let's say I have a show Clefairy whose name is Bob. I would say: [Bob the Show Clefairy] Prepare for Trouble!
Or something. Idk. I'm not good at making witty titles, we don't grade them so don't stress over it.

Then in the thread, include an image of your Pokemon (an official shop image please) along with your RP post of your trainer entering the stage. The contest is done in Katarina's contest hall on its stage (see: [x]). The contestants will hear their number being called, go on stage, and wait for the curtains to open. Then they send out their Pokemon (or the Pokemon could already be out) and perform some dazzling act! Watch this as an example. Props (such as frisbees, balls, etc) can also be used during performances.

After their act is finished, the curtains will drop and you should check the thread later to see your score which will be determined by an anonymous panel of judges.

Remember, you are required to pre-choose 4 moves in the sign-up forms and are limited to only using these 4 moves during your performance. You are not required to use ALL of them though, but you must use a minimum of one.

Unlike the battle system which has a movedex with certain effects for each move, contests aren't limited to what is listed there. Feel free to use any move an entered Pokemon has because they're not being used in an offensive/defensive way, but in a creative one that shows its power and beauty.

Be creative! Use moves in ways we don't expect! You have a lot of flexibility in interpreting moves, as long as you don't turn an ice beam into a flamethrower attack, we're okay with you interpreting attacks somewhat uniquely.

Your act should not be longer than 1500 words for the sake of our judge's eyes. However, you will not be penalized for going over by a few words.

Contest Guidebook: Battling Rounds

Example of how an appeal battle takes place.


We will randomly generate your opponents for the second round and make battle threads for the two of you. Starting on June 8th, we will make the battle thread for you and link you to them via quoting.

You will make an introductory post and roll a 100-sided dice during your introductory post. This post is basically you walking onto the stage once more with your Pokemon in a Pokeball or next to you.

Then your opponent will do likewise, also rolling a 100-sided dice. Person with the highest roll goes first.

HP/Attack bonuses count if your Pokemon has them. Pokemon that cannot evolve any further have 1000 HP. Pokemon that can evolve one more time have 900 HP. Pokemon that can evolve two more times have 800 HP.

Now for every attack post, you roll one 6-sided dice which will let your opponent know how to react to your post. 1 = your attack misses, 2-5 = your attack hits for 100 damage, 6 = your attack hits for 200 damage. Even stuff that normally does not do damage - such as growl - will do a kind of unseen damage in that it will hurt your opponent's dignity or whatnot.

Super effective/resistance/immunity/whatever do not count. Although please don't say you punch a Ghost Pokemon in the face. That's just not elegant - try to make all attacks seem reasonable and keep beauty/grace/cuteness/etc in mind. Also try to humiliate your opponent if possible - you are making your own Pokemon look good and your opponent's Pokemon look bad!

At the end of every post, please include your Pokemon's HP.

After 5 posts from both sides (10 posts in total not including the intro posts), time will be called and the battle will end regardless of if a Pokemon has fainted or not. You will be scored on both how much damage you have done, your general performance throughout the battle (so RP your best!), and your creativity throughout the battle.

A response post from each side after the 10 damage posts in response to a KO or finished time is allowed to bring the battle to a culmination. Judges will post shortly after to let you know who won.

If you do not make a post within 48 hours of your opponent's last post, you are automatically disqualified and your opponent wins the battle. We will then alert you of your next battle.
