it does.. i don't know though, i didn't recolor him..

Was the delibird sprite come from a different game?

It's from RSE.

I thought so.

awwww no c&c anyonne??

Ok so I chose to recolour with a winter theme rather than Christmas which seemed to be the favourite choice of everyone. I however made the Santa's Helper Christmas coloured because it not only makes a nice contrast but shows how she is from the warm toy shop rather than the blizzard XD The pokemon are used because:

Chingling - Bells
Stantler - Reindeer
Teddiursa - Toy bear
Delibird - Her pokemon delivery helper
Clefairy - Star to light their path
Abomasnow - The Christmas tree =D

That's about it really, any C&C appreciated.

Her shoes and leg look a bit weird but other than that awesome.

Note to the Judges: Yes, this is not exactly in the theme. However, though it isn't Christmas related it is basically, Hannukah which is also an equal Winter Holiday. I don't mind this being disqualified, mainly I made it to see if I could still make a decent TC. But I do think it would be fair to not completely make everything Christmasy, and allow other holidays. But I will not be in the slightest way annoyed if it isn't gonna work. Thankies!

Explination:
The card is pretty much based on the Story of Hannukah. It is not in any way meant to be over religious, but I'm sorry if it comes accross that way.

Trainer - Hannukah is a very joyful holiday. I found it fitting for a happy, fun, young trainer to work in the card.

Gengar - In the story of Hannukah, the "evil" armies that fought against Jewish were horrible, destroying temples and lands. Gengar is a pretty evil pokemon.
Jirachi - Generally, a star is a pretty fitting Jewish simble. Along with wishes and dreams.
Machamp - Representing the strength of the Jewish people to defeat the evil armies despite the odds.
Arceus - Basically a God. Something to keep all faith in, not that I really enjoy Arceus as a pokemon.
Moltres - Representing fire and the miracle of light.
Umbreon - The darkness that the Jews had to overcome after the hard and long war.

Name - Refering to once again, the miracle of light and the main focus in the story of Hannukah.

Color Scheme - Blue and Yellow are mainly the Jewish colors. That or white and blue.


Yeah for way too much explaning! Sorryz if I went overboard. I'm not sleepy at all and it's midnight, so here's what I did in my spare time. If you are interested in the story of Hannukah, I suggest googling it, or if you really want to...PMing me. XD

AWWWW THATS AMAZING!!! I love the background story too. *claps* I think you should be graded just as everyone else, X-mas and Hannukah run together, they're based on the same principal and for the same christian god just with different practice

YOU GO SAM!

wow Sammie you haven't made one in awhile.Great job!Everyone has such good entries.

Aww..thankies guys.

Wow, hey you make good cards. It's almost as good if not better than mine. If you want to see my first (non-DQ'd) competitive entry it's in the General forum.

Not a huge fan of Machamp's revamp, but he never gives a good revamp (his lips screw everything up). Very nice.

Try revamping Giratina
