    And some stuff about Ultra Beasts:

    A lot of them have really good stats. If I recall correctly, they all have 570 base stats. You got your tanks, glass cannons, well rounded, and everything else. They'll definitely be used a lot online, provided they have a good move pool to go along with those stats.

    Apparently, one of them has the highest attack stat of any non-mega (and is only beaten out by Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Heracross), with 181. It's also got enough defense to tank a hit from another physical attacker, though it gets destroyed by special attackers due to low base health and VERY low base Sp. Defense (31).

    Hi Mr. Yoda, I'd like to request a spot in this game. Not that it needs to necessarily be an early spot, but a spot nonetheless.

    I'm not going to assume that you know who I am, as my site activity has been inconsistent across the last few years since I joined in August of 2012 (making me a four year member this August).

    However, I do have some noteworthy accomplishments on the site. I am level 45, which I consider an accomplishment in itself, and am approaching 100 subscribers, some of whom are very well known on the site. I've been a Skin Contest Finalist 3 Times (out of my last 4 contest entries), two of which were Top 25. I've participated in 13 different official site contests, two of which were blog contests (soon to be three). My other large projects have been Resource Packs, many of which

    On the forums, I again have some recognizably through the major threads that I have been a part of, though my forum post count is fairly low for my level and time on the site, again due to my multiple unplanned hiatuses, as well as the fact that I tend to be very professional in my demeanor, which while having its benefits means that I tend to only respond when I have well-developed thoughts, which means I only usually post to threads that particularly interest me.

    I've participated in the Palette Battle League during multiple seasons, though I was forced to drop out one. I've participated in other contests such as the Sprite Contest hosted by Kefka. I've been a major contributor to past community projects such as the Community Resource Pack (which sadly seems to have disappeared). I've also been an active member on threads such as The Amazing Nintendo Club. On the chat, I tend to speak up both around contests - I am drawn by the appeal of advertising, and stay because this is such a great, friendly community for interaction and conversation.

    If you still aren't sold, just look at it this way - my avatar is unique and created with the express purpose of being an original video-game or anime-styled avatar - which I say would fit this game perfectly.

    ---

    In addition to my application for a spot in the game, I would like to volunteer as a part-time artist and writer. At least until August when school starts up again, I should have plenty of time to participate in a project such as this.

    As a portfolio of sorts, I'll link you to some of my favorite and most successful submissions in both categories, as well as a full piece of art on my DeviantART.

    Sorry this post was so long (though that's not at all unusual for me)! Thanks for your consideration, and I hope this project truly gets off the ground and becomes something great!

    Hey everyone! Back with a new skin!

    This is, of course, my contest entry: The Intel. A reflection of myself inspired by both my own appearance, my avatar, and the way I present myself online.

    So. . . . anybody started playing Star Fox Zero yet? If so, what do you think of it? From what I've heard, it's rough getting started but rewarding later on.

    Hey guys, here's my contest entry. It's got a little more of the nuclear than the winter, but I think the story is interesting, and I did try to reflect the climate in the shading (note the light blue-purple highlights).

    (Note that it doesn't currently state that its in the contest - this is a site bug, and I'm working withe the mods to fix it. If you are also having this issue with submission, contact Snowy)

    Well... if we're talking strictly cartoons...
    Steven Universe all the way!


    Steven Universe manages to beat out a lot of shows - mostly more comedic shows like Spongebob or Looney Toons - because it's consistently good, whereas those shows are brought down by their bad episodes.

    Gravity Falls and Avatar: The Last Airbender also have amazing stories and are/were consistently good (Adventure Time too, though it has its ups and downs), but Steven Universe is my personal favorite.

    So, does anyone else here own Shovel Knight? I've been playing the Plague of Shadows Free DLC / Update, and I'M LOVING IT.



    Firstly, let me say that this update is every bit as good as the original game (plus it still leaves the original completely intact - it even has some really cool story nods to Shovel Knight's campaign). I might even say that it does some things better than the original game - the gameplay is very intuitive (not to mention completely original rather than based on other games), and the story is both sweet and comedic.

    My only complaint is that it makes some of the segments that were challenging as Shovel Knight way too easy - but to make up for it, the bonus areas and Challenge Mode are extremely difficult, but rewarding.

    Overall, I'd give the new update a 9.5/10.

    My family's probably going to hold off until the end of the year, see how many issues they fix and how the general reaction is, and then upgrade if there's not any glaring problems.

    I mean, it's free for this year, so unless there's something that makes it overall worse than Windows 7, we'll update in November / December.

    The full quote is actually:
    On my business card, I am a corporate president.
    In my mind, I am a game developer.
    But in my heart, I am a gamer.


    Satoru Iwata was an amazing man. He did so much for the industry.
    I thank him for making my childhood awesome. R.I.P. Iwata-san.

    Christopher Niosi, aka Kirbopher.
    He's currently boasting around 85,000 subs, since he doesn't have the fame on YouTube that he did on Newgrounds back in the day.

    However, his content is some of the most polished, high-quality you'll find anywhere on the web. His animated series T.O.M.E. is amazing, quotable, and I'd say it's better than most shows on TV today, let alone on YouTube.

    Maybe Roy will be closer to Melee and therefore be better than the honestly quite nerfed Marth. In that case I will main him.

    Yeah sure, I'd be glad to lend a few pointers.

    What sort of concept do you have so far and what program are you using?

    This is my contest entry for the Boss Battle Skin Contest! It's actually an original design that I created, taking elements from Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time!

    If you like it, go and add a diamond so that it has a better chance of making the Top 100!
    Also, congrats to this thread for reaching page 500!

    Hey guys! I know this is a little late (I've been working like crazy getting ready for an upcoming robotics competition), but here's my Desert Contest Entry! After a 17th place finish last time, I knew this had to be special, so this skin is my first ever female skin, my first non-Caucasian human skin, and my first Alex template skin.

    I think the fur and hair turned out really well, even with the time constraints. What do you think? If you like it, don't forget to diamond so it can make the finalists!

    I'll agree that the face is adorable on Pikamoar's, but PureNerd really nailed this one. The form is really well done, it definitely looks less flat, even the waist area looks very well developed.

    Pikamoar, your colors really don't blend well and I think that's the main turnoff for me with this skin. It's still very good, but there's definitely something off.

    Hey everyone! I'm here with a new skin - 17th place in an official PMC contest is a tough act to follow but I think this one came out really nicely! Check it out:


    Plus, you can vote for what type of skin you'd like to see me make next. See you all later, and DFTBA.
