Contest! So we've all heard Recon's stories about how people keep sending him ideas for new characters to add to Pokemon-X. Uber trainers, uber pokemon, and ridiculous premises for them all around. Well, as chao so bravely demonstrated, we aren't going to let these up-starts be more ludicrous in their ideas than us!
So I propose a contest to run until March 7, 2012 to prove that we are superior. The objective is simple: Create a character that you'd propose to Recon to be added into the comic that is along the same lines as what the spoiled brats send him.
The award, pending Recon, Cabinet, and/or Lance's approval (approval achieved), will receive a shout out and congrats on the next episode of the Pokemon-X podcast.The Rules:*Create a character in as realistically-noobish as possible. Don't go over the top just for the sake of it. Pretend you were some 10 year-old who seriously thought this was going to happen.*One character per person. *Provide pictures of your pokemon (they can be spliced and mutated, since that what these people send Recon), your character, and any extra doodads they have with them like a car or hover board.*No pics that break the horizontal scroll. And keep vertical length to a good height as well.*Give your character a small description. Their name, small backstory, and what you 'demand' their role in Pokemon-X should be as well as when they should start appearing in the comic.*No sexual images.*6 pokemon max.*Use proper spelling and grammar. Just because we're trying to sound like these people doesn't mean we're trying to talk like them too.*Entries allowed until March 7, 2012 at 11:59 pm. At which point, voting will commence and close at March 8, 2012 at 1159 pm.Other than that, go nuts and follow my lead. My character's name is Sword. He is a deserter of a secret society of elite pokemon trainers who partake in mystic rituals to increase a pokemon's strength. Sword will travel with Brendan, May, and Wally, becoming Brendan's new mentor because he sees the potential in the boy. May will be in love with him, but he will see that his pupil truly cares about her and try to persuade her to love Brendan instead. He has Deoxys and Ho-oh, which he trained to be able to fuse together into Ho-oxys As well as Mew-two and Latios, which can fuse into Mew-tios: Finally, here's his picture. I'll expect him added into the story by AT LEAST the third comic from now.

I'll enter soon. Can we make the images as 10yr oldish as we can? (you know JPEG and stuff) to add to the effect of bratty-ness?

This is the best thing ever and I fully support it. Great idea, Dave.

What's the point of this contest, exactly? To show that we can be even more immature than those 10-year-old brats? Where's your self-respect, people?

1. It just some fun, unless you're anti-fun. 2. Dave definitely wasn't trying to imitate a 10 year old. He thought this would be some fun, and was doing the contest with the people who annoy Recon in mind. 3. Shut the frick up, SJ. I get that you're not a fan of making fun of 10 year olds who make original characters, but that doesn't mean you can insult those who are and besides, you're dead wrong anyway.
This is a joke. It's only a bit of fun. It's a nice idea and it allows people to get involved in the podcast some more

By the curb, next to the leaky water bed with a spring sticking out of it. Relax man, they're just having a good bit of fun and a hearty laugh is all.

Oh my good god this is brilliant. I'll see about maybe a little something extra on my end for the winner.

HEY RECON some dave guy said I had a good character and I'm going to show them now. Remember those creepy guys spying on brandon??? It's the new antagonist in the comic. Dr. Shadow Extreme is what he goes by now, but his old name was Jacob. Due to [INSERT RANDOM FIRST WORLD PROBLEM HERE], he wants revenge for his angsty past. Super Rayquaza ran away and Super Vulpix got involved in a car accident, so they are both dead now. He has new Pokemon and they're awesome! By the way, Dr. Shadow Extreme must show up in the first April comic, but why aren't there updates for the last two years? Anyway: Here is Dr. Shadow Extreme. When you make the real live action movie, reference this: And his new team includes: Nidokuna! Geosprout! (aka - srs Bellsprout) Slowhirl! Every day you do not heed to my request I will make an empty threat against you and report you to Nintendo. They will think you suck but will regard my original sprites as genius. [Threatening last paragraph inspired by Hashish or whatever the hell his name was]
