Alright, most of what is going to be shown has not been seen by the community and some staff. There are a lot of things and developments in the art department, that will be released in small segments. The purpose of this competition is to lower my work load and get the community more involved. I think this should be in announcements, but I'll let the big guys figure that out. Now let me get to it.

I'm going to release the male sprite in this thread, and allow the community to paperdoll them. There are 12 positions, at the moment, that need to be paperdolled. The rules are simple, as followed:

- You will only be allowed one entry. You may substitute an old entry for a new one.

- You may use any palette, but it will be judged on how well it blends, creativity, and uniqueness.

- Try to stick to 3-4 shades of one color. You can use as many colors you want.

- You will have two weeks to create a fully paperdolled male sprite. Then a community poll will began. The top three entries at the end of the one week poll, will then be sent to the staff to make the final decision, and the winner "could possibly" have a position in the art department as a Paperdoll Artist.

If you have any questions, then post here or send me a PM.

Pokémon League Commission

Story:   The global organisation the Pokémon League Commission was set up many years ago as a means of testing trainers’ abilities to the limit. The history of the organisation is unknown, though it is believed to have existed in some form or another for the past 600 years. With the growing inhabitation of Miryus, fuelled by mass emigration, the Commission as it is commonly known took it upon themselves to create some kind of order. Competitions and tournaments were held across the already populated regions to find those strong enough to be gym leaders.
   In the past the number of gyms had always been restricted by available area, which was proved to be the case with the controversial 9th gym in Kanto. In Miryus however, the landmasses and islands diversity meant that many more towns, villages and cities were likely to be built. To factor this into account, it was decided by the board that 17 gyms would be founded. Additionally, the lack of new Pokémon in the region meant that no new starter Pokémon could be chosen, leading to the decision that eligible youngsters could pick from any of the existing 15 starters.
   Of course, the majority of new trainers don’t really care about the...
