Your Trainer Card

[Sheep]

I'm sure many of us have seen others using trainer cards all across the internet - these little cards primarily show off your trainer's name, Pokémon team, and badges. The site people mostly use for this is below:

https://pokecharms.com/trainer-card-maker/

So I ask you this: what's on your Trainer Card? Here's mine:

This is based on what Pokémon my self-insert OC would have if she were in the series, based on her backstory/lore. I'm not sure about her 6th team member yet, or her badges, so this is all I have so far (and that's okay! It doesn't need to have everything filled in). Of course, that means you can decorate yours however you wish with the tools this card maker gives you. Let us see it!

 

[ReKoil]

There were too many dang mons I wanted to put in the 6 slots.... went back and forth on my choices multiple times xD

But ended up going with this:

 

[icycatelf]

My TrainerSona's team, based on some of my favorite Pokémon whose real-life equivalents or close I've encountered (see spoiler):

Frosmoth sprite by leParagon

Spoiler:

EEVEE

Spoiler:

Domestic Medium Hair

While Eevee wasn't explicitly based on any one kind of animal, Gamefreak staff have likened it to cross between a cat and dog. Eevee's Gen. II Shiny colors are particularly reminiscent of my cat, Ciel, so I recolored the sprite above to more closely resemble it. Coincidentally, he's a bit of a "puppy cat," playing fetch and often following me around, begging to be picked up.

MOTHIM (BURMY)

Spoiler:

Bagworm

I loves me some moths! I've seen adult bagworm moths too, but Mothim's actually based on bee robbers (aka death's-head hawkmoths) for the most part. Since those don't occur here, my Mothim would've evolved from Burmy.

SHEDINJA

Spoiler:

Cicada Exuvia

Only then realizing that they were what inspired Shedinja, I remember being fascinated by these shells and collecting them after an outbreak of periodical cicadas some years ago. I may or may not still have two or three stashed in a box somewhere. >_>

LICKITUNG

Spoiler:

Lungless Salamander

Lickitung seems to be based at least partially on lungless salamanders, which share a similar damp habitat (like caves, pondsides, and rainy routes) and tend to posses a chameleon-like projectile tongue.

OMANYTE (HELIX FOSSIL)

Spoiler:

Ammonoid Fossil

After first discovering fossils on the property, I most wanted to find an ammonite fossil. I'd only been finding plant fossils though, so imagine my surprise when I finally found an ammonoid! This goniatite isn't a "true" ammonite, but they're related and sometimes described as a small type of ammonite. Maybe my Omanyte would be smaller than average?

FROSMOTH

Spoiler:

Flannel Moth

As a lover of Ice-types and moths, Frosmoth seems like a perfect fit for me. Its Chinese names translate "Snow Flannel Moth," though it may draw inspiration from multiple kinds of moths (including moon/luna moths and clearwing moths, which I've also seen).

I also swapped Badges out for treasures since I doubt I'd participate in any leagues, the Leaf Stone representing all the plant fossils around here (I've been tempted to evolve Eevee into Leafeon because of this) and Root Fossil a crinoid stalk I found in some gravel.

There are some more standoutish encounters I would've liked to include on the team, like a "Flygon" that snuck into my room one night and an "Eelektrik" that surprised me after I caught it in the creek thinking it was a salamander, but neither Pokémon is among my favorites.​

 

[Zed01]

I've had my OC in my head for a long time because I wanted to write a fanfic but I quickly realized that I don't have talent or time to write actually good fic that's worth reading so I gave up. The OC is based on me if I was living in the Pokemon World.

 

[Fairy]

Nothing too special!

 

[EmTheGhost]

5 particularly notable Pokemon I've used on my teams, then my favorite Pokemon Dawn Wings Necrozma (which I did use in its respective game, so, I guess it still counts); the final badges of what I'd say were my favorite regions to experience (2 for Unova because of the sequels); Dialga background because Diamond was my first main series game. Could've also gone with the Ghost background, but w/e. I wish I had the energy to consistently dress as nice as that sprite avatar

 

[Devalue]

Is not entirely happy with it. Hesitated to post. Cared for none of the human sprites. Split between two directions, also: favorites and common team Pokemon. Left both sides wanting. Spent tons of time in Generation 7, additionally. Skews hard towards Pokemon used in those games.

- Talonflame: Hatched a lot of eggs between Generation 6 and 7. Headed the egg hatching effort in both. Chose Talonflame originally because of Flame Body and Fly in Generation 6. Appeared for combat in the initial playthrough of Generation 6 and in the one Nuzlocke ever in Generation 7.

- Espeon: A favorite. Rarely actually uses one, though. Sticks with new Pokemon in new games. Restricts control over party Pokemon in challenge runs.

- Pangoro: Another from the Nuzlocke team. Retired to become the False Swiper. Hunted a lot of Hidden Abilities with it. Grabbed a Scrappy Pangoro later for Ghost Hidden Abilities. Levels any new Pokemon by sitting in front of Chanseys and Blisseys too.

- Galvantula: Wanted to farm tons of wild held items. Chose the Compoundeyes Pokemon with Thief and the highest Attack. Bred five of them. Recalls using one in Generation 5 at some point as well.

- Sylveon: Calls upon Sylveon for high level Pokemon battles. Enjoys the power of Pixilate Hyper Voice in double battles.

- Egg: Hatched 11959 eggs in Ultra Sun alone. Chose an egg over Ditto due to preferring non-Ditto Pokemon, when able. Owns Pokemon with better IVs. (Never puts Ditto in the party for more than five seconds at a time either.)

 

[Roni]

I'm pulling up with a basic ass sprite to convey my basic ass self, along with my team of faves who, at this point, I don't think I'm ever changing heh.

 

[Fairy]

Here's my alter ego's trainer card:

 

[Brendino]

I don't think I have a choice to use anything but that sprite. And obviously a shiny Azumarill would be on my team in a perfect world, but I'd be more than happy with a normal one, too.

 

[icycatelf]

Another trainer card, this time depicting what my in-game "full-odds Shiny team" might look like if I had all the Pokémon in the same game. Had to put a lot a thought into this and it feels weird not having any Ice-types, but at least Wartortle and Porygon2 know Ice Beam!

 

[Hibiscus]

Here it is.
