Hey trainers! Pokemon's 30th anniversary is in just under a week! Starting on February 27th, we'll be hosting a special anniversary-themed prompt game, which will run for one week until March 6th. There will be 30 prompts in total. But don't let the number of prompts daunt you--just like in Pokemon, you won't be alone. So get your friends, sharpen your pencils, and let's take a jaunt down memory lane!

(rules moved to next post)

How It Works
  • 030OD.png
    We've provided a communal bingo board consisting of 30 prompts. You can fill a prompt in any of these ways:
    • Written: a short written piece about the prompt (nonfiction or fiction), or a review of a work containing an element in the prompt
    • Artistic: a piece of visual art containing an element in the prompt
    • ???: really, anything goes for this event. If you're unsure if your song/interpretative dance/jelly-filled donuts count, ask a mod and we'll be happy to clarify.
  • 030OD.png
    Anyone can fill any prompt, and as many as they'd like--there is no penalty for filling a prompt that has already been filled. We will include all prompt fills for that prompt in the board!
  • 030OD.png
    Once you've filled a prompt, post your prompt fill in this thread, along with the prompt that you're filling! You can post your fill as soon as you've made it, assuming the event hasn't closed. We'll cross that off our bingo board.
    • It's possible that your piece fills more than one prompt; however, we ask that you only pick one prompt to claim for it when posting.
    • You may notice that the corners and center of the board have two prompts. We'll need to fill both of those prompts in order to count those squares for our bingo.
  • 030OD.png
    If we as a community get a bingo, we win! The real prize may have been the friends and art we made along the way, but also, this special badge will be awarded to all participants and can be displayed on your profile here!
    • image ID: a forums badge. it is small and in greyscale, using the same font and text border as seen in Pokemon Red and Blue. A nidoran (male) and nidoran (female) sprite are on the left and right hand sides. in the middle is text reading nidofam with a triangular cursor selecting it.
We will post the communal bingo board on Friday, February 27. As a team, we'll have until Friday, March 6 to get our prompts in.

All fills should adhere to their section's respective rules (Art Gallery | Writers' Workshop) as well as Bulbagarden Sitewide Rules.

Who's that Pokemon? It's #0030, Nidorina, and also five more Nidoran to make the whole bingo!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Pokemon Day and will be joining us for this prompt game!

A bingo board of the prompts discussed in this thread are shown below that. At the bottom are five nidoran dressed like different parts of the franchise: Pokemon mystery dungeon, Ash Ketchum, Nidothing/Dot, PokeSpe Yellow, and the protagonist from Legends: ZA

THE BOARD!
Prompts that are crossed out have been filled! You're welcome to fill them again though.

Well I guess the board won't be square if it's 30, so how's that going to work?

Great question. The corners and center will have two prompts each (which will have to be filled separately to count the square as filled). I removed this from the explanation bc I didn't think it would make sense without the board.

...wonder how much I could fill in with a single as-many-as-possible-in-one-fic?

You're welcome to aim for more than one! It'd certainly be a pretty funny challenge and I've seen yours in the past. However, for the purpose of claiming, be aware:
It's possible that your piece fills more than one prompt; however, we ask that you only pick one prompt to claim for it when posting.

to clarify do entries need to be pokemon related? i assume so because this is a pokemon day event but it doesn’t say explicitly in the rules whether or not this is the case (or maybe all the prompts themselves are pokemon related which makes this question moot LOL)

hmm, good question! I hadn't considered that. I think this is informal enough that we wouldn't reject submissions for any reason (beyond site rules violations), but we'd definitely encourage folks to focus on Pokemon for Pokemon Day!
 
hey hey! our prompt board is live (see here), so let's get cooking! whether you're here for just one or two, want to get a bingo in the next week, or are helping fill for the community board, it's sure to be a ton of fun!

if the friends we made along the way weren't incentive enough, anyone who submits at least one prompt fill will be able to add this new badge at the end of the event!

also, it probably won't count for any bingo spaces, but you should totally join me in drawing yourself as a nidoran. what's YOUR nidOC???
