Hello @Bulbagala Participants!

Thank you all for your patience, It is now time to announce the results of the Gala! Your creativity and boundless ingenuity have shown brightly here at the Gala, and your fellow participants have certainly noticed as well! Here, we would like to award the folks who have gone above and beyond in their contributions to the world of fashion here in Lumiose and abroad. Whose styles go beyond borders and the confines of time itself.

Without further ado, lets reveal the winners!!

WINNER: @shrinkray

shrinkray's imaginative use of color, theme and references won the hearts of the participants! Most notably taking the win in The House of Hygge and A Lexicon of Pokémon categories as well as being the Runner-up in An Anthology of Trainers. Using both Shield and Z-A to coordinate their outfits, they shine bright as the ultimate Fashion Star of the Gala.

RUNNER UP: @Mothmallow

Winning both the In the Gardens of Parfum Palace and Tour de Z-A Royale categories and taking second place in The Jet Set. They even caught the eye of one of our judges for their entry to the A Lexicon of Pokémon category. Mothmallow really cleaned up the competition with their bold and clever styles!!

WINNER: @Mothmallow

Much like a Roserade, Mothmollow's outfit is beautifully designed and exceptionally elegant. Mothmallow shows us what is needed to woo the Court of Parfum Palace.

RUNNER-UP: @Mialentia

Mialentia's outfit is a welcome blast from the past. The shirt and tie combination, matches the vivid red beret perfectly! Her combination of nostalgic and fresh styling will certainly be a hit with the king!!

RUNNER-UP: @Mothmallow

Mothmallow is taking us back to the Sinnoh of the Past with this lovely kimono from Hisui! Just be mindful of any... weird space-time distortions on your way home. You can have this Rowlet just in case.

WINNER: @Mialentia

Wacky and chaotic, Mialentia's outfit reminds us that high fashion can and should be campy, fun and extremely loud. Very Audino.

RUNNER-UP: @DawningWinds

Dawning's outfit feels like an 80's bowling carpet fever dream! Its strong colors and bold patterns remind us of a Togepi's shell. (Hey watch out! It knows Metronome!!)

WINNER: @c la fet

c la fet's outfit, based on the Ace Trainer from Unova, is such a fun throwback to the Gen 5 games! We're glad to see twin drills and Watchog make a real comeback in 2025.~

c la fet's excellent send up to the world of Gothic fashion with Gothorita has her muse captures the essence of the aesthetic beautifully!!

Additionally, we on the judging committee would like to honor a few additional participants who's style and presentation really stood out among the crowd:

@da man/man

"da man/man in general had fantastic submissions and even managed to do fun stuff with the otherwise very limited SV clothing selection. Alongside other strong showings like his An Anthology of Trainers, The House of Hygge and A Lexicon of Pokémon submissions, I particularly want to spotlight his one for In the Gardens of Parfum Palace.

His style of Hisuian formal wear had a very subdued yet mythical energy to it, and all the Pokémon he highlighted alongside it complimented it very well in regard to colors and Hissiuian presence and greatly added to its mythical nature. In my opinion it was one of the most underrated submissions compared to its amount of votes, so I'll push it up here as my personal Judges Choice!" ~ @Juliyet

@Mothmallow

"I particularly liked Mothmallow's work quite a lot. The Malamar one for A Lexicon of Pokémon was a highlight for me, and Malamar isn't even one of my favorite Pokémon! ^^" ~ @cybelyrium

@CrinkTheBunny

"i am a really huge fan of crink's meganium entry though... totally not biased as a meganium enjoyer..." ~ @terashards

@bittersweetVICTORY

"Excellent presentation all around! Every entry of theirs felt like reading something out of a fashion magazine. In particular, their submission for A Lexicon of Pokémon is really fun and the rips on the jeans evoking Sharpedo's gills is really clever!! I also adored their entry for The House of Hygge, sharing a cozy drink with Eevee at the cafe in a very subdued and comfy fit." ~ @beasttrash

Thus, this brings the Bulbagala to a close. Badges for participating as well as for our winners, runners-up and Judges Choice Award winners will be available on your profile shortly. The overall winner will be contacted shortly about the shiny Pokémon they would like to receive.

The Gala could not have been a success without you and the following folks who assisted in planning, organizing and hosting the event!!


Thank you all for joining us. We appreciate everyone's steadfast enthusiasm and support! The video game mod team extends our upmost gratitude in making the Gala a reality. Perhaps everyone can join us at the museum another time...
 
Dunno if I'm supposed to reply here but it's not locked, so I'm assuming so...

This was... SO much fun! Easily some of the most fun I've had with Pokémon especially since it catered to exactly what I love to do, customize and create!

It was so much fun thinking about costume ideas and trying experiments, since I love to character create. But it was also great seeing everyone else's submissions too! You all, had such great ideas, things I wouldn't even think of! So many ideas and creativity packed into one event it was (sorry for repeating words again lol) so much fun! :bulbaCute:

Huge thanks to the Gala Comittee/Video Game Mod Team, for making this whole thing possible, as well as my fellow Bulbagala Participants :bulbaWave: It was an honor playing with you all! :bulbaLove:
 
I was pretty confident in my Gardens of Parfum Palace entry but everything else is a pleasant surprise! Y'all are making me blush, heehee...
Also noticing that the Judge's Choices are mostly for the Lexicon of Pokémon one. Makes sense, all the categories were difficult to vote on but that one was especially steep competition. Good job to everyone, winner or not. This was really fun! :bulbaLove:
 
@Bulbagala Participants Okay, the badges should've been received! All designed by the magnificent @beasttrash!

Thanks so much everyone for joining us for this Bulbagala! The amount of participants and entries was so much more than we could ever anticipate! Fantastic submissions all around too! We literally couldn't have done this without your involvement And huuuuuge credit to the rest of the Gala Committee for helping set this all up!
