NEA Part 9 Pt.2 - 300 word mock up

 How to play Pokemon:
1.At the start of a battle you draw six cards and put them to one side. These are known as prize cards, every time you knock out an opponent’s Pokémon you can draw a prize card. Once all of your prize cards have been drawn or when your opponent draws their last card you win.

2.There is 1 main card zone and 5 zones on the bench. Pokémon on the bench can be evolved and switched out to the main card zone at an energy cost. Energies can be equipped to the card and discarded to make an attack or discarded to switch out for one of the Pokémon on the bench.

3.To attack your opponents Pokémon you will have to equip the right amount and type of energies and once the attack is done discard the energies. Pokémon have a weakness and a resistance that are listed at the bottom of the card. Pokémon attacks have effects that either effect your or your opponents Pokémon. To see how much damage the Pokemon there are damage counters that are put on it.

4.There are 3 stages in Pokémon (Basic, Stage 1 and Stage 2). Basic Pokémon evolve into stage 1 and then into stage 2. Pokémon can’t be evolved on your first turn or on the first turn that they were played they also can’t attack.

5.Some Pokémon also have abilities that would help them or other Pokémon. The ability is listed on the card above the attack. EX cards also have ability where if they get knocked out the opponent draws two prize cards instead of one.

6.There are 5 special conditions that can be inflicted to your Pokemon. These are sleep, burn, paralysis, confusion and poison. Poison and burn have special counters but the 
other conditions change the orientation of the card.

7.There are also trainer cards that can benefit your Pokemon by healing them or by adding energies to them or to your hand.

NEA Statement of intent

My magazine will be and educational magazine that will be aimed at 10 – 13 year olds. It will based on the turn based RPG (role-playing game) Pokemon and how to play the card game (TCG – trading card game). My magazine will be aimed for people who are new to the Pokemon TCG, or for people who want to re-familiarise themselves with the rules. I would say that it is for a niche audience because the Pokemon games and anime (Show) are more popular than the TCG. The magazine will include a detailed step by step tutorial on how to play the card game alongside pictures of the card so that people can follow it more easily. This will also accompany people who learn in different ways such as visual learners. My magazine will be called 'Professor Blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa) - TCG'. Blackthorn trees grow in the UK and Pokemon professor names are based on trees such as Oak (Quercus), ‘Juniper (Juniperus Genus)’ and ‘Sycamore (Acer Pseudoplatanus)’. This will be a nice nod to the Pokemon...

NEA Part 6 - Product Style Profile

In this task i will be planning and creating sketches that should reflect or help me on what i would do in my real magazine. I believe sketching is important because it will help visualise my 'final' product, this will help me improve my work. Corey Law: I like the third one. Andrew Quirke : I prefer the third one. Priyan Rathinraj: I prefer the third one because it has pictures of what the cards are. From my research i can see that people like the third one the most because it has more information and is more developed. This went along with my predictions that the most interactive one and the one that provided to most information would be the most popular.
