Description DISCLAIMER: I have NOT entered the UBF contest! I just love the idea. So I did this yesterday(edit: Ages ago), and I'm glad I did, it was great background practice...my previous bg's tend to suck hard.

So, idea being: Flying in a blizzard is risky. Fire types are only good as long as long as their attacks last...snorlax (plural) seem like good choices, but I don't have one, preferably I'd use a combination of a pokemon that can be used for transport and a psychic type for a barrier of somesort...the latter I didn't have also, then I remembered that my Swampert knows protect. As well as being resistant to ice and fire attacks, sturdy and surefooted, and a quadruped! But I'm still not actually part of the competition...that's okay, I wouldn't have time. And even if the beacons are property of the UBF, last time I checked route 216 was open to anyone. It's not my fault I just happened to be in the area... lols. I love pretending that this is real, it's like being a young kid again. NOSTLAGIA FTW!

Oh. And kecleon doesn't like his pokeball... but I don't think he'll be complaining for much longer.

Photoshop Elements 7, Wacom tablet, and some random time that's certainly less than 24 hours. And the snow brushes I used were made by =arrsistable .

:EDIT: Totally updated this with a better one - still basically the same, but the colours, details and lines are MUCH better. Honest.
:ANOTHER EDIT: Did it again, after realising a) the ground snow was something awful, b) there wasn't a blizzard, and c) the lighting made no sense. This is actually version 3.5 - won't do it again, promise.
Whut? AN EDIT!?!?: Just to say I'm submitting this to a group - I forgot last time. Actually, that reminds me to check out the actual battle frontier entries. Or even if they've got a new contest.

Yeah. In all honesty, I hope that if I do keep guessing, then I get it wrong, I don't want to spoil it... but I hope they can do a shorter summer one, I'd so do it. The prizes are something awesome.

If you didn't want to spoil it you wouldn't guess though, and you were.
I'm not sure whether I'd have done it. I'd want to change my mind over my team every time lol. I can never pick favourites, or stick with a choice.

Well, it's not really important who you pick, it's just trying to manipulate them into doing the task asked is important. I'd have always picked Swampert and Kecleon, though. And Scizor. After that, who knows? I still really REALLY hope they do a summer one... I couldn't possibly have done this ones, as it'd coincide with several exams. Although this looks like it'll be a year long thing. Although, with each round, the judging will become shorter, what with the fewer people. I wonder how they're going to judge the final...finalists? It's a certainty that we'll already have heard of them, (or at least I have ¬.¬) and that they're premium members.

What being a premium member got to do anything? Membership status is not directly proportional to artistic skill.

Right, so it wouldn't have mattered if I'd just picked my 6 faves, not neccessarily your six "best"? Because then I'd have used Murkrow, Poliwhirl, Dunsparce, Rapidash, Ariados and Luxray, and then I couldn't argue I wasn't using my favourites. But they're all rubbish. But I do think it's something I'd done, had I the time and actually had heard of it before you told me ¬_¬

I guess they could always make another sub-group if the current goes on for a while; get someone else to organsise it and run two at once.

True, but often the better the artist the bigger possibility of someone being given a membership. I usually dismiss the members who've paid for it themselves and still young, that just means they've borrowed daddy's credit card. But all of the REALLY good pokemon artists will be or will have been premium members at some point. Or just the ones who network well, but they tend to interlink.

Ah yes, I see your reasoning. Maybe you are right.
Also I think the word "borrowed" there is maybe putting it a bit nicely.

Well. I'm a nice guy... until someone mentions clovers. Or Twilight. Then I'm rabid.

Okay, a single shamrock in a field of clovers: that'll do. But really the "someone" would only be you if you mentioned...twilight. *retch*

OK! I'll make sure I never ever mention Twilight!

...dammit!

Aww, haha. The Kecleon is freaking adorable.

I love the colors you added in this!

Actually, now that I think of it, that Kecleon's quite old...it's from my first ruby, first playthrough, and the first kecleon that appeared..i.e when Steven shows up. How old would that be? Poor Kecleon, he's not built for this. He's got a family to take care of!

I love how that Kecleon is trying to hold on. XD Stubborn little thing. And this looks very nice.
