JG. Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Alright, this tut has taken my a long time to make so i hope you like it! Step 1: First you go here (http://www.sugarshock.net/zeo/) or here (http://pokemonaaah.net/myofc/download.shtml) and download the frames and symbols ect. or save them to your computer as both ways work. Hang on, when you download them you save them to your computer anyway! Step 2: Open your image editing program (GIMP, Photoshop, MSPaint ect.) Step 3: Open the frame that you want to make a card with. Step 4: Start by writing the name of the pokemon in Humanist Condensed Bold Size 20 or Gill Sans Condensed Bold Size 18 - 22 about 3 pixels to the right of the image border edge. Step 5: Write the stats of the pokemon in the little box right underneath the picture in Humanist Condensed Bold Size 10 or Gill Sans Condensed Bold Size 8 - 10. You can look up the stats of pokemon here (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Dex_number). Step 6: Write the name of the attacks in Humanist Condensed Bold Size 18 or less (depends on the amount of room you have) or Gill Sans Condensed Bold Size 18 or less (depends on the amount of room you have). The description of the attacks is Humanist Size 12 or less or Gill Sans Size 12 or less. Step 7: Write the flavour text in the box with a gold edge near the bottom in Humanist Condensed Bold Size 10 or Gill Sans Condensed Bold Size 8 - 10. The level must be 4 spaces right of the final word in the text and the number must be 4 spaces right of the level. Step 8: I knew i'd forgotten something so i will write it now! The Hp goes in Century Gothic Bold Size 16 a few pixels left of the type symbol and the bottom must be level with the name. Step 9: Insert the Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost symbols. The weakness symbol must be centered with the "akn" in weakness, the resistance symbol must be centered with the "ista" in resistance and the retreat cost must have the middle centered with the "at " in retreat cost. Step 10: Write "Illus -name of artist-" in the bottom left corner of the card and it must be as close as possible to the border without touching it. You can choose the font for this but some sort of Humanist or Gill Sans is recommended. Size must be 9. Step 11: If you like you can insert a rarity symbol in the bottom right corner. Step 12: Insert and resize your picture and Voila! Your done! There you have it! A tutorial to make your very own pokemon cards! [spoiler=Tips and tricks of the trade!] Tip 1: Always have a real pokemon card next to you to check on if you're unsure about something. Tip 2: Use the fonts told or your card will suck! Tip 3: To be added... [spoiler=Xtra Stuff]Alright, in this section i will add some extra stuff to add to your cards as long as you give credit. We'll start with attack names: Fire AttacksFire Attacks[align=center]Hells InfernoQuickblazeQuickflashDoomsday ExplosionVolcanic PowerblastMeteor of Armageddon[/align] Water AttacksWater Attacks[align=center]TsunamiSupersoakTitanic WaveBubblesurfPressure Cannon[/align] Grass AttacksGrass Attacks[align=center]Vine ClimbJungle AttackKiller PlantUndergrowthInsect SwarmPollen Blast[/align] Electric AttacksElectric Attacks[align=center]Gigawatt CannonShockSuperzapperGigavoltPowerlineReactor BlastPower Drain[/align] Fighting AttacksFighting Attacks[align=center]PummelGigaton SmashMegaton SmashTriplekickBoulder ThrowJuijistuTaekwondoo[/align] Psychic AttacksPsychic Attacks[align=center]Mind BlastPsychokinesisTelepathyKinetic CannonLevitate[/align] Dark AttacksDark Attacks[align=center]Shadows EngulfingAllure of ShadowsEvil EyeDark Killer[/align] Steel AttacksSteel Attacks[align=center]Steel HammerConstuction DropSlow MoverWeldingMetal Smash[/align] Colourless AttacksColourless Attacks[align=center]SmashDual SmashTriple SmahFinal SmashFinal BlastQuickbeam[/align] These attack databases will be updated often.

iKiller Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for this tutorial!I'd still prefer use a generator, but this still has amazing outcomes.And that list of attacks of different elements is useful.

RavuriamonTheSacredBeast Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 awesome tut i try to make them on paint lol.but its friggin hard it looked more like a flag in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypony Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i have a suggestion,you have to download pokemon zeo's card blanks 1 by 1 and pokemon aaah is outdated containing only old blanks(can download all in one download though),but this place,clicky. has some of the newest blanks and looks quite cool.when i have time,i might add them all into one download to make things easier.

JG. Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've just checked it and it looks quite awesome! But won't add the site to the possible download places as this tut is made for blanks of the Neo-Genesis style. But i might use it when i make my own cards.

moneypony Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 well,perhaps you could add it to the first post if people want to make D/P because not everyone checks the 2nd page of a tut,and i think they have some neo-genesis style blanks there,just scroll down and click on parent folder,they have over 100 blanks i think.nvm,they don't but D/P are much better than old ones aren't they? and i am nearly done with my package,it includes:all the D/P card blanks,in the posted site(a few .psd so make sure you have something that can open them)credits and un-needed things are removed for realistic and memory saving reasons but you should still credit them.gym leader sheets for gym things(no sinnoh yet i think)rarities available in Pokemon Zeo _____________i also plan to release "extra packages" which includes more blanks that are non-D/P,font if you don't already have it,a few more things to "nicen" up your cards.

JG. Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yeah, the new are much better than the old ones! I will add the site to the first page if people want D/P style blanks. I've just saved them all to my PC and that took a pretty long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
