A PXR Mascot?

**Blaquaza** · 01-09-2014, 09:57 PM

What about Poliwhirl as a mascot? It was going to be one of the main Pokémon in the media when Gen I was first released, but it faded away. Also, it'd fit well with the blue of the forum.

If we're doing sub-forum specific mascots, though, Smeargle should be in the art section, and Chatot should be in the Discussion area. Unown ? could take this section, too. Just a few ideas.

Why stop at Aron? Let's go all the way up to Aggron.

/is in no way biased at all.

And you know what? Let's go that one step further and make it a green Aggron. Well, Not green, But more of a "Grassy" shade, You kn- Waaaaait a second, I think you might be biased. But then again, You have a disclaimer. Disclaimers never lie.

Why not? It can be ANY Pokémon it wants. If the choice of which Pokémon it would turn into isn't a huge crossroads I don't know what is. I mean it has like 600+ choices. It also fits in with the whole "not popular or commonly loved/used" thing we were going for.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but if not, can I nominate Smeargle? Cuz we're supposed to support fanworks and stuff, and Smeargle's an art-based Pokemon? XD *Has been thinking about this since I got put in charge of the site DeviantArt group I never seem to do anything with*

For the social media outlets, we use a Victini. Kind of a cool pokemon on an image that we had that fitted perfectly into the square we get for those things.

I forgot where or how but during the planning process, somebody brought up that there is a location called Crossroads in a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game which was an inspiration for this site's name. Maybe I am getting stories crossed but look up Spinda's Cafe and it mentions a crossroad. We are suppose to be that Spinda's Cafe. Come in tired traveler and look at all the stuff we have to show. Maybe?

Long story short, Spinda would be a cool Pokemon for a mascot.

Smeargle is cool too.

Overall, I like the idea of a logo contest. It gets the community involved and that is always fun.

I think that, out of all the suggestions so far, I like the idea of a person for a mascot best. I imagine someone leaning against a road sign at a crossroads, a hood or hat pulled down to cover their face. We could even make it a pair of people, one a guy and one a girl, their faces hidden to make them more relate-able to everyone.

That's a really cool idea, Wyatt. I kinda like the person idea too. Are there any characters that exist that people think would work? Or is it better to come up with some generic trainers to represent us all, as Wyatt said?

Although I would prefer a pokemon (So much more interesting than ol' humans) if we did do one, I think Brock might be a good idea, Since he was a big character in the anime, And the original first pokemon gym leader.

No worries. Nothing's decided or anything. I'm just trying to open up discussion a bit and see if anyone has any brilliant ideas! :)
