I also like how my first Battle Card design was basically just a Pokemon Card with two extra moves like
Tumblr media
Wow very creative and original and useful, not at all a cumbersome design to know exactly everything about the Pokemon that is now part of my team and has cool abilities and stuff
And then I was suddenly hit with the much much better idea to not do that and instead ended up with this
Tumblr media
Infinitely better
#Graphic design is my passion#Pokemon#Pokemon Homestyle#I'm so glad that first design did not take root - as you can see by just how unfinished it is lol#Because this one is so much better thank goodness#I'm extremely nervous to try and make a double-sided card but to be fair to myself I'm only using that outline border as a guideline#They're gonna be borderless when they're eventually printed so if they're a little bit off it's less of a disaster#Also it is still Very Much in its infancy don't take any of the stats as gospel I'm still working out the kinks#I'm also using in-game graphics (and still will probably pull sprites) but to save ink I'll be using a text box more like Gen I's#Depending on how the first few tests go colour-wise I might also make the front either partially or in full colour#Oh yeah and the reason I designed it like this was to mimic the clamshell design of the DS! Dual Screen Cards!#Lol#I might do some other little trivia things on the back as well like ''Met at'' or an abbreviated Pokedex entry#Although part of the fun of this game is that I actually own a real physical handheld Pokedex so if they want to check they just Can lol#I also have some plans for how move learning is gonna work which I'm excited to try out#I don't have evolutions worked out just yet but hopefully(??) we at least won't need that for the first play session#I guess I could always use the same moves tool for a sprite update lol#This is gonna use so much paper ahhhh I hope it's fun ;u;
