Using Pokesho sprites give you a bit of an advantage due to their enhanced details when compared to the regular game sprites, so I would highly recommend not using them. Just use the regular Pokemon game sprites for the given Pokemon, except Tyrantrum, in which you have to use the sprite Bisharp provided.

Yes, you guys can scratch whatever you feel necessary. Just remember this is a fusion, so fuse using your skills, and do some scratching here and there to trim up the sprite and give it a Valentine's Day feel. ;)

If you completed your entry just send it to both Bisharp and I and we will discuss in private messaging about the sprite's final score etc. Expect feedback from both of us as well. ^^
