[QUOTE=scotty1;35098941]Whats up guys, I was digging through my collection of Pokemon cards that i acquired through elementary school and found this little gem:

here is the back

I was wondering what something like this would be worth. It has never been taken out of the case so it is in mint condition.[/QUOTE]
well, it's worth a lot, for sure.
I've got a BUNCH of old Promo, holographic, reverse holgraphic, and 1st edition cards that I had been hoping to sell for more than $0.25 a card. Took it to a guy and he said they're not worth much unless I find a collector. :( They're all mostly in good condition (I would say).
Well I kinda want to sell it to my local Comic and Trading Card store, but I need to do more research on it first.

yeah, not many people want them unless you find an avid collector.
I remember when I had this card:
[IMG]http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/b/b9/FlygonexEXPowerKeepers94.jpg/180px-FlygonexEXPowerKeepers94.jpg[/IMG]
never found out what happened to it though.
Anyone interested in battling me over Pokemon Online today?
I'd be up for it. But I'm pretty new to it. And by that I mean, I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm breeding Munchlax if anyone wants one.
Breeding with Power Bracer and Full Incense
~Move set~
Tackle(Was Belly drum but that didn't stay for some reason :v:)
Zen Headbutt
Selfdestruct
Body Slam
I can change the moves if need be.
If you wanna trade for one let me know and let me know the nature you want. These things are popping out eggs like crazy :v:!
I really should replace Belly Drum on my breeding pokemon so it doesn't end up with Tackle as a move.
Any suggestions?
But yeah maybe we can make a deal of sorts.
I can Dratinis to if anyone wants one.
The only shiny I got myself was from hatching about 200 riolu eggs.
As of now, I'm playing through a new Soul Silver file, and I just recently started Blue on my old Game Boy Pocket for nostalgia's sake. I have no idea how I dealt with that screen, haha.

I would, but I'm still kicked because of a small spam war. ...oops...
[QUOTE=jechtman;35098749]I tried to make the smoke at the bottom have some propulsion to make it look like it's hovering but it looks alright like that. Could use an outline like the Torkoal sprite though [img]http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/27/Spr_5b_324.png[/img]
Someone else also said to make the outline black too, but from looking at Pokemon sprites closely that would end up making it look out of place if overused [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31693224/Pokemans/closeup.PNG[/t]
Thanks though.[/QUOTE]
I did some tweaks in paint to just illustrate my points.
Please don't at all take this as an insult your pixel art is amazing but I just want to show you what I meant with gamefreaks style. Your pixel art is great and some of your detail rocks, but gamefreak love solid outlines, even if it's not pure black they have outlines, they also tend to define detail really clearly.
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/516743/tortoil.png[/img]
Basically I solidified the outlines and redid the furnace "grate" detail a bit so it's clearer, I'm not saying mine is better (especially since I worked off your amazing art) but I feel it conforms to the pokemon sprite artstyle better.
Overall my main things to get the art style that they use in their sprites is:
1 pixel solid outline.
Sharp details (important/iconic detail shouldn't be dithered really, try and keep it sharp so it sticks out to the viewer)
Single pixel detail shouldn't be used, it looks great on sprites if you're using it, but on pokemon sprites it's seldom seen (by single pixel I mean a significantly darker/lighter pixel on it's own, try to make areas fairly solid)
Gradients are rarely used, I didn't change it much but on the torvolutions legs/neck it would probably be 2 maybe 3 colors total and it'd mainly be two chunks of color (normal skin, and skin in shadow)
Dithering (while an important pixel art technique that you're awesome at) is rare, often not seen at all.
But seriously I fucking love dat art :D
Is it just me or does Professor Oak (In the games) always look REALLY angry?
Maybe it's just his HUGE eyebrows.
I feel like I have too many shinies.
I should release one of them, just for the shits :v:
that would be the same as finding one of Willy Wonka's golden tickets and just tearing it up like an asshole
you just don't do that

I will find you and curbstomp your ankles to pieces if you ever do that.

Not taking any of this seriously, I just posted this WIP from one of my [url=http://facepunch.com/threads/995874?highlight=]threads[/url] ages ago haha.
But yeah man, I can see what you mean in your points. Maybe I'll get around to having it animate sometime.
Trying to raise my Larvitar into a Tyranitar for the elite four.
This is gonna take at least a few days of grinding...

you just don't do that[/QUOTE]
There's plenty of shinies out there. They find more every day. But this ticket— There are only five of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as shinies. Are you a dummy?
shinies aren't common
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;35113240]shinies aren't common[/QUOTE]
they are compared to golden tickets, man.
golden
tickets.
also, I was kidding about the releasing

[quote]Nintendo has a little tie-up that links Pokémon Black and White with Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition. Before the crossover game comes out, you’ll be able to download Nobunaga’s shiny Rayquaza via Nintendo Wi-Fi.
If you have a Japanese version of Pokémon Black and White you can download Nobunaga between March 17 and April 16. Nintendo has not announced a similar promotion for North America or Europe at this time. Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition comes out on March 17.[/quote]
