Miror B Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 So I've taken on my own project, but instead of the Pokemon (because that's Max's thing), I shall be doing their moves. I've seen one set like this but I plan to complete this. I will make every attempt to update this topic at least once a week with 2 or more cards. For those who don't want to look at the topic, go here: www.photobucket.com/PokevolutionMovesets And yes I know Acupressure has a blargh picture. I challenge you to find a better one. I try to get anime pictures but it's hard when they don't use the move in the anime.

Alice Moonflowyr Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 IMO, Acupressure should have a downside. Like, if you picked trap, something bad happens. Just saying. Absorb is crazy. Spell version of BRD cept not. Didnt look at the Poison ones, but will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Acupressure is fine as it is, why would you want a card that has a possible downside, as it stands it's barely viable, why make it worse? Absorb isn't crazy at all, it's rather mediocre really. I'd say make Acid negate the monster's effect too. Nothin' wrong with making it a good card, after all.

Alice Moonflowyr Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I guess yeah. Well, it would be if Plants were still big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of course some are gonna be mediocre. Absorb does that because of it's effect, Mega Drain will be a bit better, and Giga Drain will be the best of the 3. Acupressure relies on luck to give you a boost, in game there are no downsides besides crappy luck. If anything I could make it so only that monster can attack but as Tristan said it's not exactly the most viable thing out there. Acid Armor is a double defense boost, but to make it more viable I added the double damage as well. Just look at the move, raise DEF sharply. Acid is that way because of the 10% chance to lower DEF. I was gonna make it completely luck based, but that was just bad, s I made it luck based in that sense. I can increase the loss, but also remember Damage Step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wave_Sine Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 What are you using to make these? The font for the effects is off. I don't mind Acupressure's image. At least its official game footage and not something hastily done in MS Paint. In-depth per card: [Absorb] Plant-specific Riryoku with more power? Simple, but effective at both being a decently balanced card and focusing the flavor of the attack it's based on. [Acupressure] Appears powerful on the first look, then the shortcomings come through. Luck-based and relies on your opponent's hand? It's accurate to the games, but this isn't that great of a card. [Acid] Even a 300 DEF drop can be useful in a duel, though not often. Luck based, though Acid sucks in the Pokémon games anyway. [Acid Armor] Interesting combat trick, would probably see most use in Rock decks that also have Canyon. Portrays the move well.

Miror B Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm using Photoshop and I have the wrong font downloaded, but I like it so much better than MSE or online cardmakers. Thanks for reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
