I have a lofty goal to complete the entire Pokedex through TCG redraws! Every Pokemon, every form! And I’ll need YOUR help to do it!

We’re moving on to SINNOH, and everyone is going to pick Pokemon from a spreadsheet!

Some ground rules first:

Absolutely NO “AI” IMAGES ALLOWED. Anything I suspect of being AI will not go into the queue.

Post your submissions here on tumblr as soon as you finish them! Use the tag #poketcgsinnoh so I can find everything in one place! It also helps to @ this blog.

There will be a checkpoint on May 31st, 2026! If your submission is not posted by then but you want to keep your spot, DM me by that time with a check-in! Just as a notice for me that you’re still planning on participating! If you do not check in with me and your entry is not posted, I will be wiping the remaining names from the sheet and opening submissions again. The final deadline will be June 30th, 2026

I’ll be adding posts to my queue once everything is wrapped up so they will post in National Pokedex order, and I’ll gather everything into one gallery (with credit to you!) for everyone to view together!

I would appreciate it if you somehow credited the original card/artist you’re referencing somewhere in your post! (Posts with links still don’t show up in tags! Yay tumblr!)

You can use any medium you want! Photography, 3D, digital, traditional, clay, Lego, fiber, the limit is your own creativity!

You can change the card to be a shiny form if you want! Otherwise I’d prefer the designs stay within canon (An exception would be an old canon design of the Pokemon, like something based off old Gameboy sprites)

There is no application for entry!! Pick a Pokemon and draw it and have fun!

All official cards are okay (Including TCG Pocket)! All full arts are okay! Any skill level is okay!

You do not have to make a full formatted card! Just the illustration is perfect!

Some Mega Evolutions don’t have cards! Any submissions of Megas and Gigantamaxes have permission to redraw a regular card as the Mega or Giga form!

Here is the link to the spreadsheet!

Enter your username to the right of the Pokemon you plan to draw! (Scroll to the right to see the rest of the list if you’re on mobile!)

Sign up for only ONE Pokemon so everyone has a chance to pick what they’d want! After check-ins there will be opportunities for people to pick a second Pokemon if they want to. And only one artist per Pokemon, please!

If you want to back out for any reason, please tell me! Nobody will be mad at you! Your art WILL be platformed on this blog if you enter, so if that makes you nervous I understand!

If you do enter, please save this post so that you remember and still have access to the sheet! (By accessing it on Google Sheets you’ll also have it saved)

If you have already entered, please give some time for people who did not get the chance to enter first! If you have already participated in these redraw rounds before, please give some time for people who have not entered before!

If you thought you signed up in the first round and your name is cleared from the sheet, you did not check in with me like you were supposed to! I gave a lot of warnings and its big and bold in the initial rules post! Your spot will go to someone else! This is the third round with a check-in, it is not new!

The Lorefolk are a deeply superstitious people. Their village is alive with rich religious and historical ceremony and scripture. In a world where legends may be walking among the people, the Lorefolk lives their lives traditionally. But what happens when those beliefs are challenged? What would come of a people when faced with total upheaval of their way of life? This is a short, simple comic depicting our heroes, Hellix and Raice, as they embark on a special adventure where they will uncover hidden history of their world. New pages will be uploaded every Friday!

This species of rodent, much like its freshwater cousin, builds complex wooden structures, creating artificial reefs to farm fish and seaweed. Unlike their relatives, though, their supply of wood is limited. While most rely on driftwood or tear down human docks, some populations have opted to construct intricate lures, possibly to attract human attention and provoke shipwrecks. This brings in a new source of materials to grow their ever-larger barriers.

I mean sometimes they do yeah. I know a white guy with monolid eyes and zero known Asian ancestors and he absolutely experiences anti-Asian racism on a fairly regular basis because people think he’s mixed Asian/white. I know a woman who was told throughout her life that she was Native as an adoptee with no known history or background who experienced incredibly violent amounts of anti-Native racism until she discovered as an adult through DNA test that she is 100% white. I know white people who tan incredibly dark in the summer comparatively that are constantly accused of being mixed race and experiencing racism due to that, usually anti-Mexican racism perpetrated against white people with Greek or Italian ancestors.

If you think cis butches don’t experience both transphobia and misogyny and homophobia for daring to be women who break gender roles while still holding onto their womanhood you’ve sorely misunderstood just how bad butches have it in this world sorry. If you don’t think cis queens experience transphobia and homophobia and misogyny for daring to be men who break gender roles while being loud and proud about it and still holding onto their manhood then you’ve sorely mistaken just how bad they have it in this world as well.

Not to mention all of the cis men who wear dresses and skirts and makeup and nail polish and heels simply because they like them who experience all of these things. All of the cis straight women who simply just exist but something about them doesn’t pass society’s “woman enough” test, leading to them being caught in bathroom bills and sporting rules and being attacked by people who mistake them for being transgender or gay.

Just like how straight people experience homophobia to such a degree that they literally beat their children out of any potential deviance from rigidly upheld gender roles and let politicians make jokes on national TV about how they’d drown their pre-teen kids if they came out as LGBT. Do you really think a straight kid still figuring themselves out hears that and doesn’t internalize that homophobia? Doesn’t rigidly hold themselves to some impossible standard so that no one could ever possibly think they’re gay? You don’t think straight teenage boys who maybe don’t pass some bully’s straightness test are getting the shit kicked out of them for “being gay” when, surprise, they aren’t? You don’t think all those kids being attacked by their priests and coaches and teachers are being told “this wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t gay” when they’re literally not gay? Do you know how many straight kids had close calls at my school that famously expels all gay kids, because someone made up a believable enough rumor? Do you know how many of them still got their shit kicked in even though administration ultimately decided to let them stay?

All bigotry is violent and all bigotry catches people it doesn’t “intend” to and hurts them as well. It doesn’t matter what someone’s label is, or if they even have one. It matters if the person enacting the violence is doing it because their victim didn’t pass whatever “acceptable enough” test they didn’t know they were being subjected to.

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know.
