Event Creatémon Contest: February 2022

Creatémon Challenge: February 2022

What Is The Creatémon Challenge?

The Creatémon (that's "Create-A-'Mon") Challenge is a monthly event where you, the wonderful members of Lake Valor, can work on creating your own Pokémon that fits within a certain theme that changes from month to month.

Rules & Regulations

• Each entry must include a name, type and visual representation in order to account. Other details may be included but are not required.
• Any art style can be used for the visual part of the entry.
• All submissions must contain at least one Fakemon or alternate form created specifically for the event. Evolutions/pre-evolutions/alternate forms of official Pokémon will be accepted unless stated otherwise in the monthly them. Evolutions, etc. of pre-existing fakemon that you created may be included in an entry as long as you add at least one new form for the event, which must be specified in your post.
  
• Entries may be submitted as individuals or worked on in teams. If you want to work in a group, then one member will submit the entry here, with a list of everyone who worked on it and what they did.
• Submissions and winners may be shared on the official Lake Valor Twitter account (@lakevalorforums), but only with the artist's permission.
  
• All submissions must follow the rules of Lake Valor. No offensive or NSFW content.
• Absolutely no plagiarism. Any participant caught plagiarizing will be disqualified.

This Month's Theme: Ancient

Pokémon Legends: Arceus just came out and serves as our first forray into the history of the Pokémon world before most of the series is set. As such, I felt that it would be fitting to have a theme this month that reflects that. And so, the focus of this month's contest will be to create-a-'mon that is ancient in some way. Whether this means that it is from the ancient past, connected to an ancient culture, just really old, or some other interpretation of the word is up to you.

Important Notice: We also have a new feature moving forward. We will be sharing Creatémon submissions and the contest winners on the new Lake Valor Twitter account (@lakevalorforums). But only if you provide us with your express permission in your submission post (also share your twitter handle if you want us to credit you that way, or we can credit you by your LV name if you prefer), or you can share your work on Twitter yourself and let us know so that we can retweet it. Again, this is completely voluntary and unless you specifically tell us that we can, we won't.

Prizes:

1st Place: 100 pp
2nd Place: 75 pp
3rd Place: 50 pp
Consolation Prize: 10 pp

All Entries Must Be Submitted by the end of the month. Any posts submitted or edited after that point in time will be disqualified. The voting thread will be opened shortly after that.

 

I suppose it's about time that I start taking part in these things myself again.

Spoiler: Kittle & Sphiraoh

Kittle, the Curious Cat Pokémon
Type: Rock
Abilities: Limber, Own Tempo, Sand Veil (HA)
These young Pokémon are known to wander the desert in search of ancient ruins. Once one finds a suitable spot, it will do its best guard the area from invaders and thieves.

Evolves at level 32

Sphiraoh, the Ancient Cat Pokémon
Types: Rock/Flying
Abilities: Limber, Own Tempo, Sand Veil (HA)
These ancient Pokémon are often found guarding ancient tombs and temples, which makes excavation of these places by modern archaeologists a dangerous task as they will attack anyone they see as an invader regardless of intent. Very few trainers in the modern era have been able to tame these ferocious guardians.

 

Important Note: It looks like some of the entries this month were erased due to our recent site issues. As such, I'm now extending the submission deadline to March 5th so people can resubmit their entries.
