Seconded!
Additional Reasoning: The writing paints a very elegant and vivid scene proving that Pokemon and their moves can serve as a performance and not just used for battling.

Nominating: Goni

Reason: I really like what Goni has done bringing together all the characters with such a simple idea of selling tea with unique and distinct flavours. Congrats on Sara's successful business venture!

Nominating: Toogee

Reason: I can't believe for a universal thread set in a picnic area that more people aren't well, having a picnic haha! I like the charming description of Darius fighting off a food coma as well as some sort of interesting conspiracy theory plot brewing in the background.

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/252445
Nominating: Sasha Everglow

Reason: I'll never get tired of reading humble beginnings and writing that conveys so much youthful optimism and enthusiasm. I love the seemingly mundane observations that make the story come alive such as Sasha's parents reminding her to pack a jacket and applying chap stick because of dry lips.

and if I can chance one more...

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/252622
Nominating: Caramell 🍬

Reason: Something I always find challenging is creating new and interesting scenarios and stories when modding and Caramell does it so naturally and well! Really like the character they have built with their stuttering and nervous personality and the fun little Pokemon Ladycow.

Link to Post: pageant queens and big pretenders
Nominating: Vay

Reason: Like the call back to the NBT thread with the Rattata, as well as warming up slowly to Eden's other Pokemon (or more hope).

Incentive: money

Link to Post: 18. Kimono Girls Generation
Nominating: Tarlar

Reason: I like the direction of using moves like a contest moves since I'm using a (gimmick) Shedinja.

Nominations time!

Link to Post: Catcher in the Rye 
Nominating: Professor Oak
Reason: I've been enjoying watching Oak's journey on the whole, as he's a very charming character. His willingness to risk his safety for that of a scared pokemon is really heart warming.

Link to Post: Dance to the tune which are played 
Nominating: Tarlar
Reason: I felt this was a touching moment between Astrid, Rita and her other pokemon. It made me smile reading it.

Link to Post: Return to the Underground, Fight Toxel!
Nominating: Venominon
Reason: The tonal shift in this post from the one prior was fun to read. Venom empathizing with Donald and talking to him earnestly was honestly very unexpected and nice to see.

Link to Post: The (Improved) Bike Patrol has Arrived!
Nominating: Tiki
Reason: I like things that make me laugh. The upset yelling by the dugtrio that just wanted to check on its people was both humorous and touching.

Incentive: Money

(3*450)+350=1700 Updated -Tarlar

[kinjosenchi]

Link: They don't know what is cooking

Nominating: AshenPhoenix

Reason: Really enjoying the battle with Silve and Typhoon. It's intense, It actually feels like a rival battle should be, and the struggle for victory is so compelling. I'm really enjoying the writing style as well.


Incentive: Money

[Toogee]

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/258248
Nominating: Avalon
Reason: I like how Shiro’s moral dilemma of beating down local pokemon. It will be interesting to see how he proceeds through his journey with the questions how to interact with these creatures.

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/258634
Nominating: Goni

Reason: Firstly, it's definitely worth recognising that this IPF Mission is very challenging to mod as it requires some careful planning and forethought to design a unique scenario. Goni has done an amazing job setting up the crime scene and they've added a lot of subtle clues and backstory behind the suspects but there is enough for the member to be able to work out the real culprit.

Incentive: Money

---

Link to Post: zapdoszulu.proboards.com/post/258640
Nominating: Pixel

Reason: I equally like Pixel's reply. There is clear character develop shown in Adrian who is becoming a lot more confident as an IPF officer . I enjoyed reading about the cooperation between Adrian and his Arcanine, how they've pieced together the identity of the perpetrator to ensuring that the child receives medical attention.

Incentive: Money

(( Will update my own money +900 ))
