You just said in the previous posts it was based on personal preference therefore I know how the judging was evaluated. I don't even care at this point that my song didn't even place as I'm speaking out for everyone in this contest. No one here thinks it's reasonable how it was judged and for that this convo will be moved to event suggestions. The suggestion is if there is another music contest there's going to be a better method of judging. Convo of this method will start now. The last contest was focused on personal preference which is fair in a personal way. However, there is a way to judge without putting a lot of personal thoughts. In a musical contest that involves more than one instrument it is evaluated on three main aspects: Lead, bass and beat. In the video game industry you want a very catchy lead as the marketing of VG music relies on people remembering a game for what it is and replaying it. Since this is a video game music contest you should be evaluating on whether there was a rememberable, catchy lead. Next is bass. Now depending on the song the bass should be there to accompany the song. It should not overpower the lead unless it is the lead. Finally is beat. The beat is what paces the song. If the song has a consistent beat for a consistent song that's good. Having it inconsistent will lose it marks as it changes the song in a bad way. Other stuff to mention: - Complexity does not make a better song and in fact it can ruin it. Same with simplicity. This is more a qualitative preference, however common consensus can find when someone over does it. - Dynamics are important to any song. If you get loud or quiet for no reason that's bad. A lot of time when you judge music you should understand the reasoning to why some places are more softer or louder.

Hidden Power is a strange move whose type (which can be anything except normal) and base power (which can range anywhere from 30-70) is determined by a pokemon's IVs thats obtainable from the rocket game corner. Starmie doesn't usually need hidden power because it can learn so many different types of special based moves that play off its great special attack stat, but what about Arcanine whose great base 110 attack can really only be utilized with ExtremeSpeed? What about Jolteon who has to retreat from or fall to every ground type in the game? This is where Hidden Power finds its niche. Since Hidden Power's attributes are based on your pokemon's IVs there's nothing you can do to affect what they'll be, but you can use the formulas used to calculate them to learn what to look for in the marketplace. If you have a pokemon whose IVs you already know and want to know what it's hidden power will be without doing the calculation yourself, psypoke offers a table and a calculator here: [url="http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php"]http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php[/url] If you have a pokemon who's at level 50 whose exact IVs you dont know and you want to figure out it's hidden power without using a TM on it, ThinkNice has provided an easy to follow guide explaining how to do so: [url="https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/20681-calculating-your-hp-at-level-50/"]https://forums.pokem...hp-at-level-50/[/url] Hidden Power Type: ((hp + 2(att) + 4(def) + 8(spe) +16(spa) + 32(spd))x15)/63 values of stats are determined by whether an IV is even or odd. if it is even the value is 0 and if it is odd the value is 1. 0=Fighting 1=Flying 2=Poison 3=Ground 4=Rock 5=Bug 6=Ghost 7=Steel 8=Fire 9=Water 10=Grass 11=Electric 12=Psychic 13=Ice 14=Dragon 15=Dark Hidden Power Power: (((hp+2(att)+4(def)+8(spe)+16(spa)+32(spd))x40)/63)+30 values of stats are determined by dividing iv by 4. if it has remainder of 0 or 1 the value is 0, if it has remainder of 2 or 3 the value is 1. The more IVs a pokemon has that leave remainders of 2 or 3 if divided by 4 the more powerful Hidden Power is, however you see each IV is weighted differently in the formula. If the special defense IV doesn't have a value that leaves a large remainder, the max power of your hidden power will drop from 70 to 49. Having just the special attack and special defense IVs will leave you with a base power of 60. Some popular Hidden Powers, like Flying for Aerodactyl, Charizard, Jumpluff, Crobat, and Dragonite, really don't do any good unless they have a power greater than 60, since they can each also learn aerial ace which has a base power of 60. When looking for a specific hidden power while training, farming, or windowshopping pokemon, it's imperative that the special defense IV leaves a remainder of 2 or 3 when divided by 4. Additionally, all special attack type hidden powers have an odd numbered special defense IV. All physical type hidden powers require an even number for the special defense IV except for steel, but steel is an undesired hidden power type for almost any pokemon except for forretress maybe, so if you're looking for a physically based hidden power type and you have an odd numbered special defense IV you should keep farming. odd # IVs that provide value of 1: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31 even # IVs that provide value of 1: 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 odd # IVs that provide value of 0: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29 even # IVs that provide value of 0: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 FORMATTED HP/ATT/DEF/SPA/SPD/SPE Fighting: [spoiler]EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN[/spoiler] (Good for Banette, Crobat, Arcanine, Rapidash, Dodrio, Flareon, Octillery) Flying: [spoiler]ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Gyarados, Heracross, can be stronger than Aerial Ace) Poison: [spoiler]ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD[/spoiler] (Really provides no notable coverage) Ground: [spoiler]ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN[/spoiler] (Good for Scizor, Kabutops, Crobat, Dodrio) Rock: [spoiler]ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN[/spoiler] (Good for Gyarados, Tauros, Scizor, Breloom more accurate than Rock Slide) Bug: [spoiler]ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Dugtrio, Scizor, Pinsir, physical Tyranitar, Forretress) Ghost: [spoiler]EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Muk, Fighting types, Tauros, Dodrio, Scizor, Pinsir) Steel: [spoiler]EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN[/spoiler] (really provides no notable coverage) Fire: [spoiler]EVEn/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN[/spoiler] (Good for Alakazam, Espeon, Gengar, Magneton, Exeggutor, Venusaur, Victreebel, Vileplume) Water: [spoiler]EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD ODD/EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Alakazam, Espeon, Gengar, Electric types) Grass: [spoiler]EVEN/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD ODD/ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD EVEN/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD ODD/EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Tyranitar, Blissey, electric types) Electric: [spoiler]ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN[/spoiler] (Good for Cloyster, Jynx, Espeon, Kingdra, stronger than shock wave) Psychic: [spoiler]ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN[/spoiler] (Provides no notable coverage) Ice: [spoiler]ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/EVEN EVEN/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD ODD/EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD EVEN/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Electric Types, Alakazam, Exeggutor, Gengar, Espeon, Muk) Dragon: [spoiler]ODD/ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD EVEN/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD ODD/EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD EVEN/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD[/spoiler] (Good for Kingdra) Dark: [spoiler]ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD/ODD[/spoiler] (can be stronger than bite)

Welcome to Battle of The Week! Battle of The Week is a video series where I will be featuring two duelists in a commentated battle. BoTW is a personal project of mine ; It is not an official event. I'm hoping to get at least 4 BoTW videos up per month. BoTW will be featuring our top duelists and some of the games most intelligent commentators. All BoTW videos will be uploaded to a dedicated YouTube channel. Battle of The Week #1 : Amanu vs. Barrage [spoiler] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yF1dy1rYd4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgR-AHROvG8 [/spoiler] Notes : I'm working on getting a new video capture software. For now, if the quality is subpar, you can turn it up to 480p. If you would like to be featured as a duelist or commentator, let me know. BoTW has no official staff backing. This is an unofficial project.

Why not level 5?

what's up ? i'm working for moment; and will have to move home soon ; hope everyone is kicking ass! 3 months rip :x

I'd like to make an event suggestion. Some one already suggested 4v4 lvl 1, but I dont see why it couldnt be 6v6 lvl 1. The battles will be quick after all. And maybe the winner could get some sort of baby pokemon shiny, like pichu, magby or cleffa. You could call it baby cup or breeders cup as the breeders will be showing off their ultimate offspring.

i know we're not fys but i mean rose, trusty and i are still on just saying we luv u pls come back

New eeveelution and two more FOOD pokemons will be revealed in the next batch of new pokemons? [spoiler] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA6gw-Yu6ME [/spoiler]

I am very pleased to announce our newest society/fan group into PokeMMO. Welcome to the Amanu Fans! I am your leader and we all look up to King Amanu. Requirements Be loyal to Amanu Look like an Amanu replica.

Not at all. Im over the fact I lost and theres no way to change the rankings. From the last posts we already know how it was judged and there is no need to PM. Im saying if there is another event like this I feel the way it was judged in this contest needs to change. That's what this thread is for, isn't it? Edit: I would be willing to help in the next music battle event if there is one because I don't plan to enter.

This seems to be devolving into a "my song deserved a place because X" type conversation so if anyone wishes to PM me about the judging of the music contest, feel free to.

Type: Sprites.) Name: Nusty can you make it like dertoxID name :)) Trainer: (Gray spikey hair with Tuxedo and Black cap :) Team: (i want Riolu magby elekid charmander treeko and mew playing) Extra: (want my the cool thing like detoxid name in his sig can you do this ? cause im more wanted this sorry :(((( thanks :) i can pay tms to cause of some changes sorry

YOLO

As soon as I saw this topic [spoiler] [/spoiler]

So did the Rail Road companies. It's not like this is unprecedented. You start with shorter distances and work your way to larger distances. It'll be 5-10 years before LA and SanFran are connected by one of these. itll be 30 years or more before NY and LA are connected. It'll all pay for itself, like the Rail Road did.

-1 pointless you should be happy the pokemon like eevee/hitmons are all level 25, if they were level 5 people would bitch because thats just more work to level them up

I read your post clearly. You made it clear that it was judged on subjectivity and if there was analysis done you would have taken note of musical aspects of each song. During judging did you write down quantitative aspects to the song like BPM, where expression was placed, key signature, off vs on beat, placement of melodic or harmonic segments, the type of score, and most importantly did it follow the outline of Pokemon battle music? If you did all of that then you have done an analysis because that's what you should be thinking in a musical analysis. If you didn't that's fine as thoughts make up the qualitative aspects to a song. However this means you didn't analyse the song and you only had the feel to it only.

Ok, we need more italian openings http://youtu.be/1Crm94eMuPE

I concur, I think JWing should have taken first. I'v been a musician for 13 years now. I've made my share of recordings, mixes, and his was FAR better quality, and had most originality, while also keeping to the theme of the contest : Pokemon Battle Music. Most of the winners do not even sound like they could come from a Pokemon game, but like you said, it's all about musical preference. Congrats to the winners.

Thank you for proving that the music contest was not judged by composition but by preference. This means there was no rubric and a person who made a decent acid bass could have won the contest.

;_;7 who still hangs out on teamspeak im thinking about coming back

I don't quite agree with how the winners were chosen. Not to mention that the winnners were the first three posts on the entire thread. Next time it should be based on number of likes on each post cause I actually found JWingWangWong's music to be more unique than the winners and his even got more likes. Also consider: What did the selected judges even know about music?

I'm not disappointed but now I'm more confused how they evaluated their selection for music. Was mine disqualified for some reason or was it rated poorly due to me missing something.

Why I love Summrs

Will consider it. We're currently looking to rework the game corner's slots, so this may be able to fit into the plans. We would be selling RNG rates on the server, the same as Shiny rates & EXP rates.

Too hard to chose between this or going to deep purple's show :''''(

Can we call it "Gay Berry"? For happiness

While in the gift shop, or at the Celadon Mart, we should be able to [b]preview multiple vanity items[/b]. This way, we can decide on a full outfit on a character, before realizing that we don't like one of the articles of clothing in coordination with another. I've wasted about 10 bucks this way. 1. This would help us more properly decide on outfits. 2. This would encourage donations, because players would be able to try on an entire outfit, instead of just one vanity item.
