Feral Character Visibility Requirements

In order for a character to count towards rewards when making your submission, a certain amount of the character must be shown. This can vary based on the design of the Pokemon.

Simple Shaped Pokemon

These Pokemon's bodies are made up of simple shapes and patterns. Some may only have one pair of limbs, only a tail, and / or very few colors in their design (i.e. Poliwag, Snorunt, Swinub, Cleffa, etc).

➢ A majority of the body must be present and the features need to be identifiable (i.e. the face should be visible if there is little other detail elsewhere, patterns should be cleanly drawn / clear, etc).

Serpentine Pokemon

These Pokemon have long bodies like snakes or other limbless species such as eels (i.e. Ekans, Dratini / Dragonair, Gorebyss / Huntail, etc).

➢ The head and at least some of the body needs to be present and identifiable.

Simpler Pokemon with Multiple Limbs

These Pokemon have at least two sets of limbs but are otherwise fairly simple in design. Usually, they include first stage Pokemon (i.e. Abra, Shinx, Charmander, Sandile, etc).

➢ The head and at least some of the body needs to be present and identifiable.

Detailed Pokemon

These Pokemon have more detail, texture, color variation, and / or features in their design than most others. Usually, they include second or final stage Pokemon (i.e. Tyrantrum, Hydreigon, Samurott, Incineroar, etc).

➢ Can be counted with only the head only if there is sufficient detail present.

Large Pokemon

These Pokemon are large enough that they may not always be able to reasonably fit in the same scene as the other characters, but they have features that can allow them to be identified regardless (i.e. Alolan Exeggutor, Wailord, Steelix, Dondozo, etc).

➢ Can be counted as long as at least one identifiable section of the body is present.
