Suggestion Contest Suggestion!? :D

[Steven]

I've thought about submitting this as a suggestion for a while now, and I don't know if they've existed before, having joined this year, and Gen. IV having been out for almost three years...

I had the idea of an Underground secret base contest.

Users would submit an image of their secret base that has been staged the way they want, and (a) prize(s) would be given out to winners. Categories for winners could exist as well.

I haven't put that much thought into this, but as far as prizes, since The Underground, as far as I know, can be used with Wi-Fi Connection, the prizes could be rare/hard to obtain decorations, i.e. Lucario Doll (especially this, since only Japan has this), Wailord Doll, Clear Tent, Healing Machine etc.


It's just an idea. It seemed like a simple one to me, with it being used in other variations as well. Tell me whatcha think!

Hmmm... isn't that a lot like this?

Not really. My idea and that idea have significant differences.

There would be no way to gauge legitimacy (cheating). It's not like a real room where everything will look different... it's a game with set limitations. Seems pointless anyway.

Is it not so limited that cheating wouldn't really be a worry?

And if it's pointless, tell this to major corporate online websites like GaiaOnline, really.

This seems nice and all, but when we were trying to design the contests we were trying to keep a Christmas theme. As it is the Bulbagarden Christmas Contest.

I wasn't intending it to be a Christmas-themed contest. How would you go about making a Christmas-themed secret base? ;]

It could be a year-round contest, with no prizes given out. In fact, I think it'd be better this way. More fun for the users, and easier on BMGf.

. . . Did he... did you? Did you even read about the Fanart Palooza?

I didn't before, but that was only because I thought that was for fanart, as the title describes. I just read about it. The first line of the instructions for the contest speak of posting your secret base if it were holiday themed. Okay, I will say that in regard to the secret base part, I can't say how many eggs have been cracked over my face just now.

But I still stand adamant about an actual secret base contest, and not one that is holiday-themed. As I said before, a contest where users post their ACTUAL base to the forums. It's not like I'm trying to steal anyone's idea or anything. )=
