Vote Question #1: Which background is better for the text abilities box: the white background or the colored background (see post #2)? Coloredfor sure.

Vote Question #2: Which is better for the background behind the Pokemon: a standardized background for each type (and each dual type), or unique backgrounds for each Pokemon?

Standardized with maybe an exemption for the legendary Pokemon.

Vote Question #3: Should we always use the Bulbapedia image for each Pokemon, or should we put out several images and vote on an image each time for each Pokemon?

Bulbapedia, those are the most accurate and consistent looking pictures and are easily available. The artwork on the cards are coolk but are usually way too stylized and artsy looking.
Response in red.

Copied Bullfrog's post with my votes instead of his.

I'll close the vote by tomorrow evening (Thursday, July 19th).

By the way, can anyone tell me how to change the title of this thread as we change the discussion topic?

Go into the OP, edit the first post and go into advanced mode. At the top of the editor window, right above the toolbar, there should be a text box for the title.

VOTING RESULTS
1) 6-1 in favor of the colored background for the abilities text box

2) 4-3 in favor of standardized background for each type and dual type. (We'll deal with each type as it comes up for each Pokemon.)

3) 6-1 in favor of voting on the best Pokemon picture for each Pokemon. (The Art Department will offer several suggestions, and card creators and others are welcome to suggest an image as well. Then we'll vote on them.)

Thanks for all your input!

As with all things here, we will need a majority decision on this. It needs to be reposted and revoted on with a clear majority.

Re: Project Pokemon--Finalization Thread (Charmander Text)

Remove that "remove any other status markers from that figure's army card." I am putting that in the rulebook, there is no reason for that to be on the card.

Re: Project Pokemon--Finalization Thread (Charmander Text)

Re-Vote Question #2--Picture Background Standardization:
Should we standardize the background behind the Pokemon for each type (and each dual type), or should we allow unique backgrounds for each Pokemon?

Standardization
Pros:
- Classic Scape only has six types of backgrounds
- makes final card generation easier and quicker
- keeps things consistant
- allows us to re-use good backgrounds (if we go unique, we probably can't re-use the same backgrounds)
- having standardized backgrounds/card colors means that it will be easier to identify the type on the fly

Cons:
- less creativity
- limits what pictures can be used
- it may be difficult to make the pictures look right with all Pokemon of the same type

Explainations of Cons
1) Some great pictures from the anime and trading cards already have great backgrounds and it would be difficult to extract just the picture. Some pictures (such as Charizard breathing flame) would be more trouble to extract than it's worth.

2) Magnimite would look great floating in the air with just lightning behind it, but Jolteon needs to be standing on something to look right. Or we'd need to find a picture of Jolteon jumping into the air to make it work. In Classic Scape they avoid the look of floating in air by adding the fog. Without the fog, the pictures just look cut-and-paste.

Unique Backgrounds
Pros:
- each of the cards will have a unique feel to it
- we can choose from a wider variety of awesome pictures
- we can make sure that the background really works with the Pokemon
- we don't have to check the background with a lot of different Pokemon of the same type to make sure it will fit well

Cons:
- deviates from Classic Scape design
- more work needed for final card generation
- not as much variety
- we'll need to find a LOT of different backgrounds, since it will be inconsistant have both uniques and duplicates


We need to get a clear majority on this, so wulf asked for a re-vote. If anyone wants to add to the Pros/Cons, lets do it today. We'll start the vote tonight.

Re: Project Pokemon Finalization Thread: Background Re-vote

Don't forget the pro's and con's of non-standardization.

Another pro that I noticed as well.

- Having standardized backgrounds/card colors means that it will be easier to identify the type on the fly.

One thing you could do is make a background with ground for those that walk...and one without for those that don't. It's still pretty standardized. You're just taking some artistic license to solve a small problem.

Re: Project Pokemon Finalization Thread: Background Re-vote

There is an easy fix to the flying vs ground based pokemon. Just do what is done with the Classic heroscape cards. That is, have 1 big background for each type(larger than what appears in the unit window.) but have different parts of the back ground showing. On classic heroscape cards if you look at the background of units of the same general you can see that the background is not always in the same place for each unit.

Continuing the example of the Magnemite and Jolteon, say the electric background is a brewing lightning storm over a barren field. Just put Magnemite up in the lightning clouds and Jolteon on the ground. As long as all the colors of the background are fairly consistent throughout, it won't look like two different backgrounds but different areas of one big background.
