Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.
Create Your Own Trainer Card.... Trainer!

It's just helpful to have a context to go with the name, a site or whatever to tie you with makes the name mean something imo. I feel the credit's worth it for the quality of the work alone if anything.
Expect to see the new template up soon.
sup i joined
Anyway, while I was playing around with the template for D/P, I couldn't help but to notice that when I used certain trainers the card seemed wildly off-centre. That's not so much your fault though, dude. XD That's a flaw on my part - because on the Trainer Card it's expected the two main trainer sprites will fit easily/nicely into the Trainer profile. However, the D/P trainers are all different sizes, so there has to be some sort of agreeable length-width of that box if you want the trainer card to work properly...or so I've noticed.

All the trainer sprites are 80x80 and are centered at the bottom (middle would probably be ideal for this purpose, but all the D/P Trainer sprites are ripped directly from the games, no modifications, so without manually editing every single one they're stuck that way), when they're inserted onto the Trainer Card, the program takes their top-left most pixel (0x0 as far as x/y goes) and places them at the location I specify from that way down.
Basically, it's almost impossible for all the trainers to be centred both horizontally and vertically, because the sprites aren't all identically located within their 80x80 space.
I noticed (a bit late, lol) that what centred the male hero sprite in the box in your template made the larger trainers like Makishi or the Psychic Elite go half out of the box or wildly off side. So basically, that template is designed to work best with the larger trainers - and the smaller trainers kinda veer off centre a little.
It's a bit of a pain, but not too bad. Ideally, the trainer box could be a little wider to give there more room to centre - though there's not really a lot of room there thanks to the Pokemon taking up most of that space.
I think maybe it'd be best to avoid boxes for Trainer locations in the future, just to keep things more loose. But, meh, live and learn eh?

Man, Dr. Oak - you're probably one of the quickest-replying admins I've ever seen on a forum.
Anyway, if you want - IF YOU WANT, I'm not holding you to it, I just made a copy of the template without the box. You can give it a spin first to see if it looks any better - it probably will - I'm just concerned that some of the characters' red clothing will clash into the red background and the mishmash will cause some users' eyes to bleed.
I even added the watermark for you. XD
FELLOW TRAINERS OUT THERE OR SOMEONE, UH
Just give it a spin, see how it looks. If it looks nicer, feel free to replace it on the server (just change the name of this file, lol) or if you're concerned about the clashing too, just gimme a ring - I don't mind fixing it, it only takes a few seconds to change. So uh
yeah, whatever lol
I'll probably contribute some more Trainer Cards once I get some more free time.
Papers, papers, papers D:

Yeah, that really does work out quite a lot better. Though, one request if you do continue making templates - don't put in the Pokemon boxes. It's fine on this one 'cos the positions are the same as on the other two templates, but it might not always be that way and they could clash with the actual Pokemon box images on other designs. It's better without them, really.

Love the template, a bloody genius idea, lol.
It'll be up tommorow, so major thanks for providing it (I had to do a tiny bit of editing to it though). Here's a preview until tommorow:

So i have to admit. i'm no good at making my own icons. (they look... funny...) But I do take great pride in changing the colors around. ;D
I have made a Trainer Card template as well. Here it is, but it isn't as good as the others.
I based the colors off of D/P and R/S/E, but I can change any of the colors you want me to.

I left space at the bottom to put the made @ pokecharms if you chose to use it
Sorry for not bothering with badges or the white border..its too late XD

FIRST OF ALL IT'S NEVER TOO LATE WHEN YOU'RE AN AWESOME SPRITER :0
Anyway, Ultracow, that's the back of the FR/LG trainer card, isn't it? I really liked that template TBH when it displayed game stats and stuff :3
My only suggestions is perhaps you could round off the sides of the field where your name goes.

So Trainer card templates based off other games are okay now?
i made this shell, its not pkmn based (its ff vii) but it still looks good.
note*i cant set the background to invisible so i made it pink so feel free to edit and i couldnt make the url at the bottom fit.
heres the link.

Sorry if this seems awkward, with my being a guest...but I'd like to make a small donation. A simple recolor and edit...not too difficult, and not all that great, I guess.
I apologize for the background-I was using it on a different site, so...

You've intrigued me now. If you don't make an EBA card, I will be forced to find you and do something unspeakably horrible to your soul.
THANKS, MAN. ESPECIALLY LIKE, SINCE I JUST MET YOU.
Here's a WIP preview of it [AGENT OAK HEEYUH~~!]
I made it a link to avoid potential spoilers (because I don't want like half the forum to see it because the end product will uh...look a lot better) I'm currently having trouble right now coming up with an idea of what to do for the trainer's name, but it...shouldn't take a whole lot of time to come up with something. I want to manage the EBA theme while at the same time not butchering the boxes.
I ment @ night....AHAHHA

Okay how is this then?

Delicious :9
Also, Doctor Oak I think you missed my D/P Custom without those obvious boxes that cause it to stand out. XD
Arrr, almost done - here's what I have for my new EBA trainer card template.
Just tell me first, Doctor Oak, if you even want to include the card XD
And secondly, do I need to fix anything before I can say it's done? I'm still having problems with the name-entry area as I still think it's hard to read, but if it's all right, whatever.

Again, another fantastic template. The only slight problem is the size of the name space (also, don't worry about not being able to see the font - I've made a new blacker font for cards like those). The character limit is 15 characters, so it has to be long enough to fit that. Other than that, great. The watermark isn't really a problem, if I need to I'll just bump the font size down by one.
What I think we need from future trainer cards, at least one of them anyway, is to swap the trainers and Pokemon around. Just for a bit of diversity - so if anyone is submitting any more new cards, that would be ideal to include.

B) You use image tags, just as you do on any other message board:
If you make a Trainer Card with the Trainer Card Maker, it provides the image tags for you along with the link for the card.
I should be updating tonight with the new batch of trainers and trainer card templates to choose from.

Yep, I wasn't on the internet so I had to use Paint. But, oh well. Here is the nicer one I made because I am on the internet, and I had more time. And, now the upper part is for the Friend Code, while I added a name area. Colors are based on Dialga, Palkia, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Giratina. Any recommendations are gladly accepted.
Made my own ^.^
I gots to fix the fonts on it, make gyms into badges and stuff, but I can do that later I guess
Just basic so far but you get the idea ^.^
