[RBG*]

After talking to Zracknel, I've decided to revamp the way we request banners. We came to two conclusions:

1. People are more likely to put out work if there is a deadline.
2. People are more likely to put out work with a set theme.

So with both of these points, I've figured the best way to combine them is to make this into a bi-weekly contest akin to the other contests here. (Shamelessly borrowing their rules)

2. If your entry is turned down, do not complain and revise your entry.

3. We are attempting to get as original artwork as possible. In-game sprites use, therefore, should be at a minimum.

4. Have a question, or want to suggest a rule or theme? Feel free to PM/VM/IRC RBG or TheMantyke about it.

5. You are not allowed to reserve spots. This is considered spam.

6. This isn't a comment thread. Quoting a sprite just to say that it looks good and contributing nothing to the topic, this is counted as spam. Constructive Criticism is acceptable, however.

Participation Rules

1. All entries must fit the theme. The theme will be specified at the top of the first post.

2. All entries should fit the size restraints of 851*315. (This link provides more info that might be useful.)

2. All entries should be saved as a .png. .bmp and .jpg/.jpeg distort the qualiy of the image, and program exclusive files cannot be uploaded to Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic.

So without further ado, contest 1:

Black 2/White 2 In-Game
The first banner's theme is based off of anything from in game: Pokemon World Tournament, Gym Battles, In-Game Teams, Pokestar Movies, the plot, ect...

Deadline is November 16th.
