In Third Place
by *Plush-Fiend
We loved how the city scene looks like a collage made from clippings of a trendy fashion magazine! It's charming, colorful, and we liked the little story that came with it!
In Second Place
by ~Blizzardpaw
We liked how this is not a cityscape, but a scene that that gives you a clip of the Pokemon city life without losing the city element! Not to mention, we thought the joke was great!
In First Place 
by ~Moutakcoyo-Suhirro
The colors and the dynamic composition of this piece is a creative way of capturing the energy of the big city! The triple battle is also a great way of celebrating the new generation in more ways than just Pokemon in a new location! Overall, we think its a wonderful piece that's more than deserving of first place! Congrats!

This piece was so close to being in the top three that we felt we had to showcase it!
Honorable Mention
by ~Paleona
We loved the pastel colors and the cheery tone that reminded us so much of Nimbasa City!
Thanks everyone for participating! We hope to have more contests like this one in the future!
Are you ready?
Hey everyone!
Welcome new members!
The Black and White release is just around the corner! Are you getting in the "Unova state of mind"?
So what's the contest about?
We want to see your trainers and Pokemon in the city! They can be dressed to impress on Poke-Fashion Avenue or battling it out in the subways; be creative!
The entries should show Pokemon and/or a Pokemon trainer you designed (yourself as a trainer, your character, etc.) in a visible city environment. Not just any Unova location! In fact, the city doesn't technically have to be a location in Unova; it could be New York City, Chicago, Tokyo, Moscow... As long as it's noticeably a city! There should be a big focus on fifth generation Pokemon! You may include one of the previous generation Pokemon (for example, a sidekick that's following you) but no more. Entries will be judged on creativity! Don't be afraid to explore fashion and urban art forms in your entry. Have fun and show style and thought in your visuals! For this contest, we're allowing any kind of visual entry! Photography, sculpture, or any other visual medium is great. Just remember that it's the most creative entry that wins!If you have any other questions, please ask in the comments or in a note to the club! ^^
Only one entry per person. The piece must be created for the contest, we will check the time of the upload!
Deadline: Monday, March 21st 2011

I actually placed third? Thank you so much for this honour! 
While the city reference makes sense when you explain it to us, this was a visual contest, and to be honest, we simply didn't see the city in your piece visually or conceptually... This is not to say that it wasn't there, but as the artist it is your responsibility to establish that in the visuals, if that makes sense? At any rate, you should be proud, as you gave it a valiant effort and did you get nominated after all, even despite that. 
The reason it wasn't visually there is cuz I suck at art! The drawing was a nice practice piece for my Tablet though, as I had just gotten it. I wonder if I should write a story for the comic... Seems like it would come out much better. I love being descriptive. Maybe something along the lines of:
