ROUND ONE [edit: about the settings]

(Be sure to check the flash!)
ROUND ONE OF SIXFOLD LEAGUE NOW COMMENCES
This round will be treated like a qualifier. We want you to show us what you can do, but don't go absolutely all out right at the start! A certain number of contestants (depending on how many participate in this round) will move on to Round Two.
ROUND GOALS
In this round, your contestants will be having a ONE ON ONE BATTLE WITH YOUR FACTION'S ASSISTANT. You must show your character winning for your character to advance. Though the definition of "winning" is up to you! As long as it's clear (a draw would also be considered a victory). No switching Pokemon mid battle. You must pick one Pokemon and stick to it throughout the whole battle*.
*Note on the turn-based style fighting: it is like the games, but not exactly. Basically it just means taking turns, but you are more than welcome to mix it up as well. We won't penalize you for it.
IMPORTANT INFO!

Announcement from Epicent City: The Tournament!Hello, and welcome to the Saros region! My name is Professor Ivory, but most people respectfully refer to me as the Pokemon Professor. Now I’m sure you won’t need me to explain the world of Pokemon, as you’ve likely known it for most of your life! So instead, allow me to introduce you to the land I and my friends call home.
The region of Saros divides into six distinct provinces noted by their strongly varying climates. The pokemon vary between all 6 regions, seeming to culminate by their various types. And as the pokemon vary, so do the people who live alongside them! Within the regions, there are 6 guilds which are the center of power and influence among the people of each region! The 6 trainers who lead them have known each other since youth, and the guilds still carry such bonds.
In the center of the land is a bustling urban center known as Epicent City! It is here where I conduct my studies, on the 17 types of pokemon and how they adapt and interact with each

NPC EVENT 2 MISSIONS
CORUS NPC EVENT 2

Alright, my non-competitive underlings! Since you're not competing in the tournament, I'm gonna hafta ask little favours of you from time to time. Don't you worry much, they're nothing life-threatening. Not right NOW, anyway. Who knows what kinda missions I might send the more capable Corusites on in the future? Anyways, here's the few things I need you guys to do.
Number one! Did you guys know we got a daycare and nursery? For the baby Pokémon. And occasionally baby humans. Not many students get knocked up, I should say, but whatever. We got it if we need it. Well, it's kinda fallen into disarray. It looks more like a prison than a nursery! So we've set aside a budget for you guys to go spruce it up, make it actually look inviting to the little ones! Check out Severstal market for furniture, paint and any other kind of crap you deem fit to go in there. Have fun!
Number two! The deserts of Corus hide tons of ancient ruins. And inside ancien

Oh! Bienvenue!Please to be meeting ye, traveler! Are ye in the mind to get yerseff some trinkets fer yer frenss? Y'at se right plaace! Take a look-see!
Papi, arrete por favor. Estás les confondant. Hellow, there! I know a buying customer when I see one... take a look at our wares--let me know if you want anything, yeah? Oh wait... you say you're part of the regional tournament? Ciel dessus! No charge for first-timers!
Feel free to have your pick of one complimentary accessory for each of your pokemon, yes?
All accessories that are colored grey can come in a maximum of two colors.

General Accessories Available to All Factions

Imports from Ladon

Imports from Cita Erbonde

Imports from Corus

*Corus accessories are highly customisable; the pauldrons can be of any Pokémon-related design, and so long as the bracers/shin guards roughly retain the basic

Welcome to Cita Erbonde!Hi, everyone! Gosh, this is so weird to be talking to you all for the first time! Er... I'll just try to be brief I guess, and make sure I don't overload you guys with information, okay?
Tuh?
Say hi, Edol! ^^ This is Edolynn, my little baby ball-o-fire piggy! And I'm Kassy. Your region leader. "This region" being our beautiful, colorful Porta del Pizzicare! (or port-a-del-pit-ze-cah-ray for newcomers!)
Now, for those of you who might not know the lay of the land, I'll give you the skinny. There's three main parts to our lovely little bay: Cita Erbonde (the capital city), "the spit" (aka "that big hunk of land curling into the harbor"), and Cucciaio (my hometown!). Now unfortunately, as lovely as Cucciaio is (oh... by the way, that's pronounced "coo-kee-eye-oh") I have to letcha guys know... that city's off-limits for living on for y'alls. Sorry! Town ordinance that's been in place for seventy years...I'm trying my best to chat with the town leaders to get them to change that rul

GOOD NEWS: ROUND ONE EXTENSION. (+ info)Angels have descended from the heavens, and they have spoke to the admins and said: give them one more week.

This will be the only extension to Round One. Do NOT count on any more.
As well, there are a couple things that need to be done when your entries are completed. We're getting in some finished entries now. Yes, you must submit your entire entry to the group. This is in case of any issues, we can resort to finding your entry within the gallery.
But, please make sure your entries have NEXT and PREVIOUS links. Some way of navigation of your entries. Also, please link your app somewhere in the artist descriptions.

Rules/FAQBefore we begin, note that these rules will be ongoing, and as we receive more questions, there will be more added to it.
Also, the best way to contact us with a question not on here is via group note. Thanks!
GENERAL

We will not tolerate any form of harassment, and persistent harassment will result in removal in the group. Please do not harass the admins, and if an admin doesn't answer your question right away, understand it is because we are all busy. It should be answered in time.

All art must be drawn by yourself. We will not accept official Pokemon artwork, traces of official/existing artwork, or sprites. Altered sprites should be used only for icons, not for the application. Otherwise, sprites are only acceptable if they are done from scratch.

Respect others and their artwork.

PLEASE. PLEASE: do NOT remove the bottom row of slots on the contestant application! Yes, you only fill in for three, b

Welcome to CorusTo our newest recruit,
Good on you for choosing Corus! Seriously, it's pretty much the best region. No joke. Let me give you the run down; Corus is pretty dry and hot, but it works out in our favour, since it toughens everyone up in no time at all! And "tough" is what Corus is all about- if you're a slacker, you might want to go and sign up in one of the sissy frilly froo froo regions, since Corus will eat you up and spit you out.
So let me tell you a bit about the different places in Corus! Firstly, the biggest place here is Arcelor. That's where I'm based, and where the majority of high profile battles are held.
And don't give me any sass about how the HQ is an abandoned steel works factory, 'cause I'll smack you. This place is fantastic! We converted the whole thing into a battle academy, so anyone who is serious about taking on the league should enrol here. We got dorms, it's cool. It has huge halls for battles, and the old refineries are great obstacle courses for training.

Event 3 - Talents of Saros + New Item![Now a brief intermission from your hostess, Lady Mirage]
Congratulations!
What's that? You believe you are not worthy of congratulation? Nonsense! This is a message to all of my dear Saros Region NPC's! Whether you were a spectator from the start, or a fallen contestant, do NOT feel unimportant or defeated! The sheer idea of that is ridiculous! Why? There is MUCH to celebrate, friends! Let me name a few!
Firstly, seeing the intense battles between all of you new recruits and the esteemed assistants of each region was a sight to behold! My heart was racing the entire time! You all tried so very hard, and just because you did not make it into Round 2 does NOT mean you have any less talent! I haven't seen the assistants work up that much of a sweat in years!
Not only did you all fight valiantly, but as was previously announced, it is my great joy to throw open the welcome gates to my home: Epicent City! There's so much to do in this city, my city, that all of your

Welcome to TerranAlto (Edit: Nina's Welcome)___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hau!   (Hello!)  We are happy that you have shown an interest in our region, The Saturos Canyon.
First off, we must warn you that The Saturos Canyon is… not for the faint of heart.  Even with all the accommodations the TerranAlto Plateau (the capital of the region) is very isolated because of the geography and the immense size of the region. The climate in Saturos Canyon is hot, dry and it borders Epicent City, Cita Erbonde and Lochesh.
There are many ancient ruins in the canyon making it a haven for archeologists and researchers, and  the famous Mars Lighthouse is to the south,  near the border of Lochesh.

The climate in Saturos makes for the perfect training environment, you’ll be stronger than you ever though

Event 1: The Sixfold Ball

by *mirzers, Jun 16, 2012, 3:17:30 PM
Journals / Personal

Good day. Lady Lyra Nightingale of Lochesh speaking. I am here to announce the annual event: the Sixfold Ball. The ball takes place before the tournament begins so the people new to the region of Saros or the faction you have joined may converse with one another as well as the leaders and assistants of the factions. Perhaps you may form lasting bonds: whether friendly or not.

The Ball starts at 7 o'clock so don't be late. It will be held in the grand ballroom in my Manor which has plenty of space for you and at least one of your Pokemon, if you so choose. Just be sure to clean up after it or you might just get a surprise visit from a Gengar or two. Feel free to wander the garden outside the ballroom as well.

Due to the nature of the surrounding area, all Ball attendees will stay at the Manor overnight and leave in the morning. Do not leave the Manor grounds after 11 o'clock or you may not ever come back.

And remember: formal attire only. Dates are not required but are recommended.

I can't wait to meet you all.

Requirements for Event 1:

Draw your character in formal wear talking/dancing/hanging out with at least one other character in the group

Everyone can participate: contestants as well as NPCs

Optional:

Fill out the formal wear meme

Submit a date request in the Date Request Folder

Deadline: July 22nd at 11:59pm PST

Question! I just become aware of this a short time ago and don't think I'll be able to do both event and application... Is that okay?

~WindFlite Jul 22, 2012 Hobbyist

The competitive app deadline is upon us, so if you cannot make that, then you will have to make an NPC. The event is fine.

~Darkguardianinfinity Jul 18, 2012

Just ONE question (probably stupid question XD) When the deadline passes are we allowed to submit more parts to a comic? This with the fact that my "date" and I have done 2 pages of our collaboration together and posted them. Thanks in advance

*mirzers Jul 18, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Yeah, that's fine!

~Squirtadoodle Jul 19, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Am I right to assume that means we can post unfinished pages and edit them after the deadline too?

*mirzers Jul 20, 2012 Student Digital Artist

At this time, this will only be allowed for event 1 since there is no reward. And note that this will never be allowed for tournament entries (and probably all future events).

~Squirtadoodle Jul 20, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Alright that makes sense since it is a tournament based on art and deadlines are a part of that. I was worried since I joined later that I wouldn't have enough time to finish this event completely and I want to get it in.

~Darkguardianinfinity Jul 18, 2012

K thanks! ^^

~TwilightSaphir Jul 18, 2012 Student Filmographer

I think I don't quite get it... Everyone seems to make comics and huge stories... Is that a requirement? Because I just join in and 4 days away from the deadline is kind of short to make up a whole story.. I'm not even sure I can come up with one drawing o_O

Which makes me wonder: is this event obligatory?

*CriticalQuit Jul 18, 2012

the event is obligatory, not mandatory. it gave everyone something to do during registration!
