Part 1: Introduction

First, you have to go to the right tab to make a trainer card. You can find it at the top menu bar, where it says "Trainer Card Maker"

The next page should be the TCM interface. It should look something like this, minus all the circles. Just put down whatever information you want under the red circles; the purple circle will have a preview of what your card looks like.

If you already have a friend code on your profile, you can import it into your card like so.

The next step is VERY IMPORTANT. Do you see the bit below the tabs? The bit that has stuff saying "Welcome", "Backgrounds", "Characters", etc? That's what you'll be using to edit your trainer card. Click on each category to edit your card.

Part 2: Backgrounds

Let's start with backgrounds. This is basically I guess the template of what your card will look like. You can choose from a variety of them; just pick a category and pick a card you like from the category.

I went with a Mono-Type card because they're really pretty~

Part 3: Characters

Next are the characters, or the trainer you'll be having on your card. Again, you have a large variety to choose from, including trainer sprites from the games and custom sprites that've been given to the generator from the community. Choose whichever category you want for now.

WHOA SO MANY CHOICES! When you see a sprite that you like, click on it and it'll appear on your card. I decided to go for a cute little custom Flandre, because Touhou is life.

Part 4: Badges

Now for the more complicated parts. Badges are a bit more complicated since you have a bit of an option for what you want to do. You can choose either a whole region's badges...

... or pick and choose the ones you want.

You can also reorder badges like so:

Part 5: Pokemon

And now, the part everyone's been waiting for: the Pokemon! Again, you have a choice of how you want to go through this. You can either use the search box and look for the Pokemon there, or just scroll through the list until you find the one you're looking for.

When you find the Pokemon you want, click on their name.

A list of images should pop up for you. Pick the image you want on your card by clicking on it. If you want to delete a Pokemon, just click on the image and poof, it'll disappear!

And, like the badges, you can reorder your Pokemon any way you want.

Part 6: Finishing Up

Your card should be done now! You want to save it, right? You can save the card to your computer by clicking "download" back at the top, underneath where you input your trainer name and Friend Code.

You can also save your card to your profile so you can show your friends and have them like it here! Note that you can only save up to 15 cards, though.

And you're finished! You can now show off your card to everyone and anyone you want to~

If you want to put your card in your signature, use the code provided in the BB Code (forums) text box. Copy and paste it into your signature and you're good to go!
