I've been working on a set in MSE and I was wondering if anybody would be willing to help me translate each Pokemon's abilities into Magic The Gathering rules, as well as what color each one belongs in, types, P/T, cost, etc. And well as finding MTG-esque art for each. White backgrounds are boring. Card art is half the fun. Ya feel me? Thanks ahead of time. :)
 
Also, what would be good ideas for spells, instants, artifacts, and such. I am currently trying to figure out eevee-lutions as well.
 
Moving this to the Pokémon World forum. Also, use the edit feature instead of posting twice in a row.
 
yes another magic the gathering fan!
I did a similar thing way back!
Donphan 3GG
Creature-Elephant
Evolved from Phanphy (Put this card on top of a permanent you control named Phanphy. All permanents attached to Phanphy is now attached to Donphan. EVolve only as a sorcery.)
Trample
[5/4]
 
make attacks sorceries and instants! potions for white spells. reflect, light screen for blue spells. OHKO moves for black destroy. X Attack,etc. for green pump spells
 
I tried out Levelers for a couple to emulate evolution. works fairly well with some. poorly with others.
 
Technically no but you can find custom templates. There's even pokemon card templates. I got the clear Eldrazi ones as well.
 
But anyways, im just having a difficult time. I tried Ampharos today and in the pokedex entry it mentionsthat they are used as beacons. I looked through all the keywords and there is one called" radiance" but i have no clue how to use it properly.

Example of how radiance works.

Wouldn't most Pokemon end up being green, since they're basically guileless animals? Aside from some legendaries, of course.

Well that makes sense but idk how to incorporate it.

Well, no not quite. Fire and electric types definitely fit under Red, Water types under Blue, Steel(and some rock) under artifacts, Insect/grass types under green, dark under Black, and the rest are somewhat ambiguous. I just want to create a balanced set.
 
You don't need to incorporate Radiance. It wasn't that fun anyway :/

Ah, so you're assigning Pokemon to colors based on element, not theology. It'll work fine sometimes (Gyarados isn't very clever, but it certainly is a badass sea-monster) but not others (the adorable Pachirisu is red?). As long as you don't try to incorporate every Pokemon, you should be able to swing it.

Which pokemon should be left out then? There are too damn many.
 
leave out jynx . if you already included it, make its creature type horror.

pachirisu could be white.

Rock would also be under red (Earth elemental et all were red). Ground could be green or red, depending mostly on personality of the poke (most would be red).

The only ones that would be unambiguously green would be plant types. Most normal types would either fall under white or green.

I would go with making each pokemon speceies a type rather than just evolving by name, that way you can have multiple different versions of each pokemon.

Metronome Clefairy (2WUU*)
Creature - Fairy Clefairy
2T: Choose a target graveyard. If the top card is an instant or sorcery, you may play it by paying it's casting cost as normal. If you do so, remove the card from the game instead of putting it in the graveyard. You may play this ability only when you could play a sorcery.
*clefairy would be white, but this card's ability would be blue.
 
I was reading this article and started to feel that many Fighting-types would be white, mostly because of some of the contrast with black.

Also would the Champion mechanic work as a substitute for evolution?
