Hi there!

Welcome to the Pokemon Showdown Art Room contests! After my resignation, I have still kept the liberty of organizing the Art Contests! Topics are discussed by Jac, me, and the Art Room Staff! If you have any suggestions, don't be afraid to shoot me a PM on Smogon or PS!

The Current Contest: Spring Time!

As we near the beginning of spring, we are getting really bored of winter and its cursed cold. So bring us bright, colorful images of happiness and joy! Spring scenes with crystal lakes and blooming flowers will definitely cheer me up! Dazzle me with Jumpluffs and Hoppips as they meander through the sunset sky!

New: As well as drawing art, writing and comics are allowed in this contest!

*Writing must stay on the topic of Pokemon; nothing too violent or inappropriate as well! No plagurism!
End Date: March 18th
Approved by Jac​

My entry is a written example, I'm excited to see how this turns out. Good luck to everyone! ^_^

“Mom, can we go outside yet?”

“Hmm… I guess you’re old enough. Go on.”

“Yay! Come on, Tenya!”

“I’m coming. Sheesh, Sayak.”

The world outside… it was HUGE! There was green stuff everywhere, and tall brown things with even more green stuff. Overhead was a gigantic place filled with blue. The wind blew through my orange fur, and I fluffed out my six tails from the slight shiver. My sister Tenya was right next to me, clearly as surprised as I was.

“Whoa. It’s so big,” she barked.

“It certainly is, young ones,” my mother said as she came out of the den.

“Run and play, little pups.”

We did. We chased each other through the green, and it stuck to our pelts as we rolled in it. We came to know it as “Grass.” Apparently, the tall brown things were called Trees, and the blue wet stuff behind the den was Water, in a River. At the end of the day, we went back to the den. It’ll never be the same now that I know what the outside world holds.
 
Title: Banette

Category: Poetry

Genre: Horror/Supernatural

Author: XTheElegantShadowX (TES)

----------------------------------------
A child’s wish made real and turned to flesh that night

To animate this smiling marionette,

That inspired fear and fright

He lied still and lifeless

Limp and motionless

Yet his grin would not cease

The carnal smirk it wore was that of a beasts’

He chanted the words with care, utmost

To bring forth a friendly ghost

To take this doll as its host

But every wish comes with a price

A lesson well learned that night

The walls were stained red, with horror they bore

While crimson pools flooded and consumed the floor

Mommy was in pieces

Daddy was in stacks

And little baby sue was left dead on her back

Yet the boy had got his wish

For the friend he’d never had

“Dear Banette,” he named him

And for that, he was glad.
------------------------------------

Not my best work, but my first attempt at writing about Pokemon. I hope you all enjoyed it! :3

Espeon invited me to enter this contest. I wrote a little something in my own style, I hope you like it.

Title: A Smile on Sunkern

Genre: Nature/Friendship

A Smile on Sunkern

I’m not a noisy Pokemon
nor am I all too strong
but it’s my favorite time of year!
I’ve waited all year long.

So please excuse me
and my frail voice of reason.
I’d like to share my love of Spring.
It’s simply the best season!

The snow melts without haste
disappearing into the marsh.
The wind caresses my leaf.
The weather isn’t so harsh.

The sun extends its rays,
bringing warmth to my stem.
I open my eyes and exclaim
“Yay, it’s Spring again!”

I hop around and say hello
to all of my Grass-type buds.
I’m so excited that I trip
and fall into a pile of mud.

Then Sunflora helps me up
and I smile in her embrace.
The sun shines on her eyes
as it lights up her face.

I like to visit the Bellossom
and join them while they dance.
We wiggle to the music
while the Kricketune chants.

He fiddles his arms
as we rock to and fro.
The Bulbasaur stop by
and enjoy the free show.

I make my last stop
by the cave behind the falls.
At first glance it’s empty,
home to nothing at all.

Just a few moments later
Luxray comes out of the shade.
Most Pokemon would run
but I’m not all that afraid.

“Spring is here, Luxray!
This year you have to smile.
I know you’re very lonely
but I miss you! It’s been awhile.”

Luxray stands quietly,
unable to move.
I start to dance near him
and show off my new groove.

He looks at me with hesitation
and his lips curve slightly.
I look right back at him
and smile ever so brightly.

Night had fallen upon us
so I had to bid him goodbye.
“I want to be happy again, Sunkern.
It’s thanks to you I’ll start to try.”

So he walked me to the field
as I jumped with glee.
Never did I think
Luxray would walk with me!

As he made his way back home
I found my own in the ground.
“Today was so amazing!
I wish it was Spring all year round.”

Title: Turning Over A New Leaf
Category: Poetry
Genre: General

Turning Over a New Leaf

Evolution for most Pokémon
is relatively easy,
but that's not the case
when you're a full-fledged Eevee.

They tell me when in doubt
to just follow your heart.
I have eight different choices,
where the heck do I start?

Espeon and Umbreon
speak to my dark side,
but do I have the courage
to face my fears and not hide?

Flareon and Jolteon
represent my strong drive,
but am I readily prepared
to keep the energy alive?

Vaporean and Glaceon
do well to calm my soul,
but will I stand for justice
or grow up to be cold?

Sylveon is charming and
the most dazzling of them all,
but is beauty that important
or am I blindly enthralled?

It was then I remembered
a day from my past.
I was rolling in the field
and playing in the grass.

I finally made a choice
and my friends cheered me on.
I no longer go by Eevee.
Just call me Leafeon!

my entry


The Nostalgia ~By NotMo

What I’m about to tell you is completely true.

It was just a normal, dreary, winter day. As my family kept counting the days until spring, which was 15 at the moment, I, however, took the time to enjoy the snow. That was when I met my most cherished friend. Now, I know you’re going to say, “Hey!? That’s some creepy pasta crap!” but let me assure you, it is not. Anyway, I was digging around in the snow as usual when I found a game boy advanced. It had Pokémon emerald loaded in, so I started playing.

Everything went well for a couple days until I got to the elite four. I had just entered when the game started glitching up. Sprites were mixed up, I couldn’t navigate Brendan, and the GBA started to vibrate. Now I, at the time, was suspicious and just thought it was a prank. So I shut the game off and reset. To this day, I wish I hadn’t done that. I heard a screech so loud I started crying.

The next day, I tried again, seeing as if I had no other options. I heard that loud scream again, and then everything was strangely normal. I knew it couldn’t be, so I beat the elite four with caution. It was fun, I admit. Crushing Steven with my level 90 Pokémon felt good. Then, I made my way to start shiny hunting, and within about a week or so, I encountered a shiny trapinch. When I hit the A button to select the ultra ball, my game froze. I got so frustrated I shut the game off and threw it in the garbage disposal.

Soon I couldn’t bear the thoughts. I jumped in the garbage and found my game boy in one piece. I was determined to get a second chance. I did the exact same routine until I came across it again. Pressing A very carefully, I caught it. I trained it to be a bulky flygon. Then it was time to solo-run the elite four with it. We swept them, all members and the champion with a simple outrage. When I entered the hall of fame, the game shocked me. I mean, physically shocked me. I went to the hospital with 3rd degree burns. I wasn’t mad that I got burned, for it had happened many times before, I was mad I didn’t get flygon(Sylvester was its nickname) into the hall of fame.

After having dreams about what could’ve been, spring came, and for a few weeks, my life couldn’t have been better.

Then that damned day came. April 21, my friend walked up to me. He said he made a HUGE milestone, so I, being human, was curious. He showed me…a shiny…flygon. I broke out in tears. Then, a lash out of rage hit me. I punched him and stole his game boy advanced and ran for my house. Realizing what I’ve done, I threw away his game boy too. I had lost a friend, and I never played another Pokémon game again, fearing what might happen.
