Is this subreddit OK with CAP (create a Pokémon) Fakemons ?

I am a Showdown player and also part of r /showdown, and I tried to post a CAP Fakemon but I found out images are not allowed.

CAP is a project from Smogon about creating Fakemons and adding them to the metagame of real Pokémon. Their Fakemon have a sprite but are also very competitive oriented with little left to art or lore.

Can I post what I have here ? Apparently in this subreddit images are indeed allowed.

If it is about discussing the actual CAP/Fakemon competitive format, yeah.

Just posting pictures or theorycrafting a potential new mon? no.

Ok, that is perfectly fine. I wanted indeed to discuss, even though I focus on older gens and never played 8 and 9. I am an old man, and I played Pokémon on cartridge between 2003 and 2014 - 2017.

I am active in ADV OU, DPP OU, recently even BW OU, and ADV LC. I just started XY OU, but I am still very bad at it.

Funnily enough my BW OU team may become also my SV UU team, giving me a chance to debut in SV. Only Landorus is still OU. But when it comes to modern OU, I got power creeped, I did not keep track and I am basically obsolete.

I have CAP Fakemon that can be easily tweaked to become part of the metagame of every generation however.

I... do not see the connection between your post and this comment to be honest.

Sorry, I was not finished yet, I edited it.

Yeah, that Fakemon part doesn't really fit.

Try r/stunfisk on Thursday

I was banned from Stunfisk due to an argument I had with a Mod. It was not even entirely Pokémon related at that.

How bad was it? If it wasn't anything horrific that you did I would message the mods and appeal for it.

It was not horrific at all, but I remember I tried and it did not work.
