E4's Favorite Illusion's Zorua & Zoroark - VOTING open through Nov. 30

[rtas]

Been a while since we’ve last ran an e4’s favorite! Rather than focus on a specific species, this one will focus on the 2010 Design Contest (Illusion’s Zorua & Illusion’s Zoroark) featuring winners and winning entries for a total of 66 unique artworks for your enjoyment!

How it Works

The contest itself had a total of 10 overall winners for the following categories:

• Kindergarten,
• Elementary 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th,
• Televi-Kun,
• CoroCoro Comic,
• Pucchigumi,
• Pokémon Fan,
• CoroCoro Ichiban!

The winning entries are mixed within the top 6 entries for each category (except Pokemon Fan). Pretend you are one of the judges of the contest and assign each entry between 1 and 3 points. The entries with most points, will be e4’s favorite!

These are incredible! My favorites for sure

[rtas]

So many great submissions, it’s a shame many of these weren’t picked. Pokemon fan was loaded with some bangers, love the fossil museum piece with the mew cameo in the background

[Frosty.Puppy]

The colours and expressions in this artwork really resonates with me, such a feel good vibe!

[TorterraSimp]

This is peak, I can’t believe there were 2 chances for a torterra cameo in this contest!

[D3F14NC3]

This guy is my favourite

[Drew12]

Therapist: sumo clefable isn’t real and can’t hurt you

[rtas]

As a sumo fan, I appreciate the level of detail! Both ‘mons are wearing a mawashi, the stance and clothing of pikachu as referee, it’s quite good and accurate!

[cryingatnight]

TIL that I dodged two tactical nukes for my torchic collection hahahahahahaha

[bk2021]

I already voted but could you add what ages were eligible past 4th grade?

[Chivvoo]

Absolutely fumbled not picking the museum art!

This was such a fun poll to look through! I don’t think I have ever seen the entries that didn’t win before, just the ones that made it to the cards. Some of these are just incredible!

[rtas]

I am not sure, my guess is through 6th grade based on design contest a year prior:

「小学館児童誌12誌連合　ポケモンカードゲーム　デザインコンテスト」が開催されるよ！ | カードゲーム関連 | ニュース |...

[rtas]

Took me a whole week to go through them all!

They are all very fun to look at it, I can image many of them could have easily won:

[mthursty]

I am this art is not getting the love it deserves.

[joponnes]

Wait, someone actually drew grimer on one, i was apparently relatively close to get a near impossible to get card o_O

[Quuador]

Likewise with Seviper I now notice. Had to include it for a shared 3rd place just for that reason, even though I did already vote for a 1,2,3 that I liked more in that category.
