That's awesome! Thanks for you help and, no matter when you get it, you can submit it in this thread: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72

Nice. Really is similar.

Can anyone say SARS or Avian flu? This so blow out of proportion it's funny. Also has anyone seen the people wearing masks? Unless you have a high-grade mask a virus will pass through it as easily as you fit through a door.

I wasn't aware that any translators posted about their job on the net; can you link to one of his threads?

No they will not, or they won't be mods here. At any rate there will be enough people to do a few name changes per day/week. As for it not doing any good; part of our job is to provide a good experience for users, or this website wouldn't be around.

I don't see this being an issue so early on, but while this thread is in front of me I may as well share my plans. It's something I will do, at times, but I would prefer not to advertise it. There's a difference between someone who really needs a name change for one reason or another and can put in the effort to contact me and someone who just sees a thread and goes "sure, everyone's doing it". EDIT: This is pretty much finalized now. If you have an issue that you think I've missed feel free to say so, but any other discussion at this point is pretty pointless. EDIT2: Ignore the above.

Mew. Most wtfpwn HM slave ever.

Testing new signature.

It's an algorithm to find the fastest way to breed a move unto a pokemon, it has nothing to do with IVs...

No, Legal doesn't really check 4th gen events in the same way that it checks others. There is no algorithm so all it really does is check events against an internal database, the issue is that the database kinda sucks and isn't always updated. The one for Pokemod will be much more comprehensive, but for now just keep what I said in mind.

Posts in the off-topic and introduction forums don't count towards your post count.

Any suggestions belong in the pokedex discussion thread.

It originated about 5 threads below this one, lol. http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=215 I'm sure statcalc is fine too. But just run a virus check and you're good either way.

Our official statement is here: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1004

Every event hosted on the site is legal. We have done extensive checking and research to ensure this. However, we cannot and will not ensure that all or even some of them are exact copies of a pokemon given out at a Nintendo-sponsored event. Every one of them at the very least could have been, and that is all we will guarantee. By extension, none of these events can be proven illegal by any third party. EDIT: As of 2016, this statement still applies!

The tutorials here helped me out a lot. IIRC you are using GIMP; there are GIMP-specific ones there too. (I prefer PS though.) Thanks for the complements everyone.

It's not standard anywhere, modern fonts adjust the spacing for you.

Welcome to my little exhibition. Although you probably wouldn't guess it by looking at my very bare avatar and signature, I used to be in the habit of making pretty good signatures, renders, ect. I discovered the joys of Photoshop in June of 2007, not long after I joined my first forum. I managed my own pokemon-art club for nearly a year before deciding to move into the more mature art community on DevART. Around this time, June 2008, my priorities underwent a sudden shift when I discovered the then-new forums on pokesav.org. Rather than developing my creative skills to the level when I could produce original works as I had planned, I got more and more active with event-collecting and just the general workings of pokesav.org. You can guess the rest. So here I am today, showing you works that are almost all from days long past. Whether I will ever find the time to improve my skills I don't know. Ironically, my first (rather shitty) banner was for (yet another rather shitty) "hacking" club that I started before my art club. I was a noob, and it failed epically. Moving on. These two banners, which I made almost back to back, were my entry into the world of signatures. I think they're pretty good for a beginner. These were requests I did for a competitive battling team, Team Eclipse, over the course of my art phase. I was experimenting with some drip effects, and when I came up with the hex "blood", I just had to do this. This is one of my few non-pokemon works, and also one I did without the aid of material from outside sources. Around the time SSBB was released, I went on a rendering binge. There's not many images from the official site I didn't render. You can see the rest here. (Yes I'm aware this has a black background, it was necessary to show off the transparency.) This was just a random request, but I really liked the way it turned out. Ode to oldskool. A request by our very own fenzo. This was done a few months after the above. I'm still proud of the flame effect. I gotz pumkin carving skillz 2! This was done for Halloween 08. At the request of my dad, I did a little mirroring and made this nice wallpaper. Every now and then I will do a TCG render, I actually find it quite relaxing. This is something I did pretty recently. I was experimenting with vector styles so I redid some TCG art to make the above. High-res sugimori artwork must be rendered! That's all for now, I will post any new stuff. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on anything.

I'm not sure why it was switched, but I switched it back and you can now.

Thanks, but I would rather have people create a thread for their own story.

We've gone ahead and created a forum that will encompass all art forms.

A creative discussion forum for art, music, literature, etc. has been created.

I've been lurking here but haven't replied yet because I feel a bit underqualified. I'd just like to make sure the point was made: We will start with Smogon's rules, if there is a significant movement to change a part of them it will be changed. Not having any experience with this, I don't know what to expect as far as that happening or not. I've seen a few people encouraging far less rules, and despite my inexperience I can see that that is not the way to go. A no-rules free for all might be fun every now and then, but building an entire forum off it sounds like a bad idea.

I'm guessing the former. Otherwise there would be issues when the pokemon was changed/traded/released.
