You get to pick Pokemon pretty often from events. :) So you'll probably be able to collect all the ones you want eventually! The ones that aren't in the GCEA Kanto dex (different to the real Kanto dex xD) at all are the hardest to find in the actual RP itself, so maybe pick either one of those or a Kanto Pokemon that appears late in game!

Also agree that we should think about changing the rubric for drawings. A piece can still be fully finished if it's a little different to a "regular" drawing, like if it's a pencil drawing or if it's in a sketchy style, and the rubric doesn't really allow that right now. :) I think it'd be cool to see more varied styles!
