Is there anywhere on the CAP site that simply says what the original concept of each CAP was? If not, could somebody please inform me of what they were, I'm curious.

1-3 didn't have a concept
CAP 4, Fidgit, was pure utility. Moves like Trick Room, Tailwind, Gravity, entry hazards etc.
CAP 5, Stratagem, was break the mold. Essentially, the concept was to go against the stereotypes of a given type. In this case, it is Rock.
CAP 6, Arghonaut, was a decentralizer. it was built do decentralize the top 10 threats in CAP at the time.
CAP 7, Kitsunoh, was designed as the ultimate scout. It was built to gather information easily on the opponent's team.
CAP 8 was Cyclohm, and it's concept was neglected ability. Its ability was an ability that was neglected in the metagame because of various reasons. Shield Dust, in this case, was an underused ability in the current metagame, for example.
And I hope you've been following CAP 9 enough to know our concept!

Finished Product, at the end.
We generally don't want to see previous concepts mentioned again. We are trying to learn as much as possible from the metagame, so if we use a concept that was already used, we aren't learning anything new.
So, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
It seems like according to the last 8 caps, you choose the creator's back sprite and front sprite. I don't think it has changed at all since then.
Where can I find the download for the newest CAP sprites.
It's the same thing. I have a Mac, so just click this link:

Follow the directions there. Once you've downloaded it, open it up and it should add them for you.

That's not true, 1-3 did have a concept. Syclant was glass cannon, Revenankh was bulky wall, and Pyroak was Sunny Day sweeper.
Those were concepts not outlined clearly in the process, which is why I did not include them.
EDIT: also, this is SQSA thread, not a discussion thread.
Could have sworn that I put that on-site somewhere...
Lunar Fang
Umbreon Dan
Flounder
Deck Knight
Vader
Cyberzero
Leviathan207
Hybrid

I have a few ideas with no real idea on how to post them, so how do I do so?
Mysteriousfellow was found to have cheated in the CAP art polls. he was banned and his submission is not getting into the art gallery.
i haven't been on smogon for a while, what does the new auto magic coat ability do?
Gives Colossoil the effects of Magic Coat for the turn it switches in.
