In case of multiple submissions (like two different species), must they be sent via two separate PMs, or are we allowed to put both species into one PM?

Several questions

1. Does it have to be a full evo-line? I'm assuming yes, as Pokeheroes treats regionals as a type of event mon usually, but main game precedent means that some regionals only exist as one evolution in the whole line (E.g. Exeggcute to Alolan Exeggutor, Cubone to Alolan Marowak)

2. On that note, is making another evolution for our regional variant, to a line whose regular variant doesn't have one allowed? (e.g. Mr Rime, Obstagoon, Sirfetch'd, Overquil)

3.

Quotecopyright: The sprite has to be done completely by you. You are not allowed to include (parts of) sprites from other artists, excluding official sprites, which can be used as a base.

Does this mean sprite edits are only allowed for Gen 5 and earlier mons, because the Gen 6 ones are done by other artists?

4. (general sprite contest question) Do shinies need to keep the details of the pokemon 100% the same? The one that immediately comes to mind is Breloomio's shiny (see the hat) but I think there might be other emera mons who also have slightly different shinies

Side note: if yall have issues visualising what a regional variant is, you can consider them re-typed versions of the same pokemon, but also tied in with Emera Town lore/features

@catlady

When you say variant, do you mean I take an already made emera mon and turn it into a galar or alolan varients?

@ALz_ not CatLady, but when they say variant they meant an official Pokémon and them turning into an emeran variant. we are in emera town. lore starts roughly here (and it's scattered around).

Hi! I wanted to ask if there were more examples of Emera Pokémon, or better yet, a catalogue of all the Emera variants. I tried searching “Emera” in the wiki and all I got was Emera Diancie.

Train mah boi please!

QuoteIn case of multiple submissions (like two different species), must they be sent via two separate PMs, or are we allowed to put both species into one PM?

Preferably one PM with all entries or several PMs with the same "subject", so they are stacked together.

QuoteDoes it have to be a full evo-line?

No. The type-changed starters haven't gotten an evolution (and according to the Poll probably won't), so if you think a certain pokémon wouldn't evolve after adapting, that's perfectly acceptable.

QuoteOn that note, is making another evolution for our regional variant, to a line whose regular variant doesn't have one allowed?

As long as they're not mega forms, I see no reason why that wouldn't be allowed.
[So, tentative "yes", with the sidenote that new Megas are not allowed]

QuoteDoes this mean sprite edits are only allowed for Gen 5 and earlier mons, because the Gen 6 ones are done by other artists?

If you plan on using PH-sprites, yes. There are plenty of archieval sites that allow you to use their sprites for spriting, though, so you're not limited to Gen 5 and earlier for the contest.

QuoteDo shinies need to keep the details of the pokemon 100% the same?

If the change makes sense, that's not necessary. However, Breloomio is an Event (not a variant), so I wouldn't use that as a justification for sprite-differences in the shiny.

Quotewill we get message confirmation that out submission went through?

No. Unless there's a problem with it, there will be no message. So assume no message = no problem.

QuoteI wanted to ask if there were more examples of Emera Pokémon

So far, the only Emera pokémon are the Shellos (North & South), Diancie (Emera) and the type-change starters.

I meant it the other way round, actually, since most examples in canon are non-regional pre-evo vs regional variant evolution

So another example is thay there's no Galarian Mime Jr, but there's a Galarian Mr Mime

Edit: Also, just to double check, Gen 6 and later sprites from PH cannot be used for sprite edits, but an offsite sprite from an artist that allows sprite edits is okay?

If we don't have to make an entire evo line, can we make an emera form of a final evo?

QuoteIf we don't have to make an entire evo line, can we make an emera form of a final evo?

Yes, you can make an Emera-variant evolution from an original Pokémon [like Alolan Raichu, Galarian Mr. Mime]

QuoteGen 6 and later sprites from PH cannot be used for sprite edits, but an offsite sprite from an artist that allows sprite edits is okay?

Slight correction on this, as I asked confirmation/information from Riako. As we, the site as a whole, have permission to use the sprites, all sprites on PH can be used for contests contained within PH. Those sprites cannot be used for contests outside of PokéHeroes.

So, you can use Gen 6 (and up) sprites from PokéHeroes, but you can only show/use those sprites on PokéHeroes.
[so be extra careful that you share it using an image-sharing website that doesn't publish any of the images publicly]

I may have missed if this was asked/answered, but if it's a pokemon that has a mega form, are we required to sprite both the pokemon and a mega evolution, or can our emera variant be one that doesn't mega evolve?

Thanks!

@LeoTheLion you are not required to sprite it. you can but you don't have to.

Can we make new evolutions for an emera variant or not?

hi, quick question...can the variation not be natural but "man made"? like, i know larvaprop is an event but if it changed to be more useful or liked by people, just how mimikyu wears a "mask" to hide his scary nature and tries to be cute. idk if that would count as a variation or an event. or can it be caused by a natural disaster that professor rowan has talked about?
