My Personal Pokemon Archetype

[AlexLoeher]

Making Pokemon into Yugioh cards has been my dream since very early on. I even once printed off sheets of paper and played with my cards once I made them. Needless to say i was excited to make my cards again for people to see. I'm a little disappointed at how many times this has been attempted, but I still wanted to make my own. I tried to make these cards as balanced as I could, but i might have gotten a little carried away on a few lol. I tried to make these like an established archetype (ie Wind-Ups or Lightsworn) where most of the cards have similar but slightly different effects from each other. The two main things that distinguish these cards is
1. The summoning conditions. The evolved pokemon require a tribute of the Pokemon that it evolves from and if it evolves by something special (ie a stone) then it is treated as a a special summon. and
2. Most of the monsters have an effect that they can use instead of attacking. This represents the different options Pokemon have in their battles.
One last thing, most of the art was taken from deviant art and I have no idea how to give proper credit, but I in no way take credit for all of these marvelous artworks. Tell me what yall think.

[Guest Yairnet]

I think your cards need future polishing, your pics are quite good and the format of your effects is kinda new to me I might try it myself someday
Overall 9/10

[Mr. guy]

I think that special summoning the evolutions would be more fitting in today's meta. A la red eyes b chick.

While the archetype is far from done, I see a lot of work put into these effects and a lot of potential. Keep it up!
