Enkidu

We will be finishing up all of the requests insofar and maybe a few new ones by this coming sunday USA east coast time. Sorry for the delay but me and Chiyochichi have decided to leave project pokemon for one reason or another, however we will make sure to finish all requests before we go and ask a Mod to lock this thread once we post all remaining requests.

Thanks. Due to some real life issues we got delayed by a few days, we will have them done by the end of tomorrow though so don't worry and sorry for the inconvenience.

Good luck in college and your desktop customization endeavors, peace.

Alright since we're doing this all COLLAB STYLE it'll take us awhile to get all 3 done, please have patience. Heres what we have so far: Greencat Illithian Flootenkerp All spelled correctly right?

Not a single person told me that I could not make improvements to my entry as we went along, besides it seems everyone here is taking this too seriously. It's not a competition to see who gets their piece of art featured on the front page of some website and is awarded some prize, but its an informal challenge to see who's banner gets chosen to be at the top of 1/128732498273472309 Art threads. Besides it also is not like once a banner is put at the top of a thread that it can never be changed anyway. Edit* And? The competition is obviously not about which banner the artists like the most as we had a publicly open poll, not a voting between the members of the thread alone. I also would only like to see Bear's up there if you guys are disregarding voting altogether anyway because you don't want to use mine.

We won't Text is the last thing me and him usually add to our sigs anyway.

Its fine, but why did anyone get angry over it? We're just making sigs for fun, I don't see whats the problem really. ( And I'm not being sarcastic, like really I don't understand why we can't also have our own thread )

Copy what? There can be more than one joint signature thread on a forum if I am not mistaken. We both have had our own signature threads on other forums and just decided to make a joint one, if thats copying you, then I guess we did. Anyway Illthian we will get right on it.

So what makes a render/stock photo "good" or "bad"? First off is the size, trying to fit a large picture in a 120x120 pixel box for an avatar just looks like crap. So size is obviously important and crucial detail is lost when a smaller picture is blown up and when a larger picture is shrunk. That said, it is entirely possible to use a small portion of a large render and have it work. Now this is one of the more important, how the render is cut can make or break pieces of art. "Cut" means erasing EVERY PIXEL that is not attached to what you are using. The Main page Lugia is a perfect example of this, as the arms, head and bottom half of it have a bunch of misplaced pixels and leftover background pieces still attached to the image that should not be there. This DOES take away from a signature and should be avoided at all costs as it makes it harder for us to smudge/blur/sharpen to make the image better. Other than that as long as the image is crisp, unpixelated and a decent sized to use for a sig it should be fine. Stock photo's are a little different. First off it needs to utilize space well and provide a clear subject for us to use. This could be anything from a symbol to a tree, and it the piece needs to have a focus, without focus on something having us create something for you is rather difficult. As with renders the image has to be crisp and detailed, but unlike renders do not need to contain a subject, only an image focus, otherwise it will come out boring. That being said, I have a perfectly cut render of Every pokemon saved in my Stock photo's folder so instead of finding a picture just tell me which pokemon you would like if you do not have any preference. Using other peoples art This is extremely important, we do not condone the use of any artists piece of work without their permission, surfing deviant art for whatever image you think is "kawaii" and giving it to us to photoshop is a no-no. If you do find an image, ask them if you can use. Stealing artwork is bad so please either stick to official artwork as they are put out there for people to play with, while personal artwork like those found on Deviantart are not. However there are plenty of images that artists don't care about or will let us use without asking, just please do not steal anyone's personal artwork.

Mines from the old sumerian story " The epic of Gilgamesh ". I just really happened to like Enkidu's character and what he did, but also how big of an influence he had on Gilgamesh. The beast and the king, friends?! It was such a wonderful story.

My first 100 was a scizor on Diamond. Oh how pokesav makes things so much easier now.

That thing is rocket dock actually I just changed my icons so I could tell what they were a little faster. Anyway I also just prefer rocket dock because even though it isnt as customizable its slightly more reliable and responds faster than object dock.

The Gengar one of course.

Wow you guys really don't want me to win?

Because the majority of teams do run Gyarados/Salamence and Dragon dance gives +1 attack/+1 speed, meaning a Gyarados or salamence can switch in and not lower his attack to -1 but =0 Instead. This means tyranitar can still pose a threat with his physical attacks as if he is not intimidated his attack, even with small to no investment, is greater than it would be with 252 attack and adamant at +1.

I...shaved? Most guys look a lot younger when they shave so It's not that surprising. Although right now I get a stubble a day after shaving, which is annoying.

First off, Gyarados and Salamence serve 2 very different purposes and both do their respective dragon dance sets incredibly well. Dragonite, regardless of what YOU say is a worthless dragon dancer and is inferior to salamence in every way when running a dragon dancing set. He shines as a mixed sweeper however as he gets access to Superpower and thunderbolt, along with draco meteor, roost, outrage and earthquake. 1: If anything one of the "best" sets would be the Mixed dragon dancer set where DD is only used to really boost speed as things like Salamence/Gyarados are both taken out by Ice beam and thunderbolt while Crunch/Stone edge rounds out your coverage and provides a nice attack to use with his boosted attack. This prevents Skarmory from "walling" you, prevents gyarados and salamence from countering you as after 1 DD you outspeed them and Thunderbolt/Icebeam rape both of them, lets you take on the likes of starmie and vaporeon who try to switch in and counter you, dragonite,gliscor and Flygon are all taken out relatively easy with icebeam as you outspeed all of them ( bar choice scarf variants ) and OHKO them. Having one physical move means blissey's that switch in cannot stop this guy either effectively giving you a wall breaker that opens up sweeps for the rest of your team OR in the event of fighting a poorly designed team will let you sweep with tyranitar unimpeded. The curse set is less useful because with a 400% weakness to a common attacking type and a speed drop, it means all the opponent has to do is switch in something faster with a STAB fighting attack ( or simply high attack ) and Tyranitar is either dead, or forced to switch out. ( Lucario/Hitmonlee/Infernape/Staraptor/Gallade/Medicham/blaziken/heracross/machamp )

How does he... Tyranitar is able to live through alot, A celebi's grassknot isn't a OHKO on tyranitar, Gengar's FOCUS BLAST has only a chance of a OHKO on tyranitar ( assuming tyranitar has a defensive spread, and if you run a defensive enough one it never OHKO's, even with Stealth rocks ) So lets see, 130 base special attack, 150 base power move, 400% weakness to it and he can STILL live through it? He only dies to everything if you aren't using him properly. Thats a sub roost set, it's only useful Mid-late game when a sandstorm is up and Spikes/SR and maybe toxic spikes are on the field. Since he's so fast no other phazer can taunt him out. What? The entire point of a curse set first off, it to make sure all of the phazers/counters to it are gone first ( which there really are few of ) . The curse set is not a stand alone pokemon, but when used it is the strategy that the entire team is built around. The CB pursuit and dragon dancer is put into teams to counter specific threats and in some cases render entire pokemon useless. As far as being phazed out goes, Tyranitar is a pokemon that NEEDS to be set up for a specific goal. "Set up" when you use it Only refers to the curse or Dragon dance sets, but his CB pursuit set is by far his most used one, Boah is an amazing wall breaker since after a substitute Focus punch will almost One shot a majority of the fighting types out there ( because they take neutral from fighting ) or let him rip through stall teams and a Dragon dance set with flamethrower as the final move lets you beat common switch ins like Skarmory and Scizor, even with no EV investment and then proceed to wipe out an opponents entire team, there main Tyranitar counter gone. Even things like Salamence and Gyarados that have intimidate and are bulky fear +0 Stone edge from tyranitar as it can One shot both of them. The majority of pokemon, even with super effective hits that can't kill Tyranitar is astounding . Also something like tyranitar can set up on so many pokemon, that saying he never has time to set up is just dead wrong. If thats Tl;dr Hippowdon for a more defensive oriented team, while Tyranitar fits on a more offense oriented one.

Yea so I'm moving out of my dorm tomorrow night, at which point I will be staying with a friend for a week and then taking a 3 day trip back home, so just letting you guys know I will not be on very much the next 10 days or so. This means A: I will not be making avatars until I'm back home B: You will not see me post here very often and C: I will.....not be on my computer? Whatever. I'll catch you guys later.

For the most part yea Sushi haha. It's cool someone else knows japanese too! I stopped studying this year to just get used to college and stuff, but I'll be picking it back up next year

I disagree, Cubone wins hands down.
