Hey all!
It was recently pointed out to us that a number of Older CaPs are without Dex entries in their Final Product threads or elsewhere. After speaking to the other mods, we have decided to run those threads now, as soon as possible, in order to get them all out of the way before we start to gear up for our first Gen 7 CaP. Six older Pokemon are without them (to my knowledge), so we will give these fairly short submission deadlines and submission timeframes.
First up on the docket, as it was first completed, is Arghonaut. We are going to be doing these in the style of Diamond/Pearl and Platinum dex entries. There weren't the stringent qualifying checks as there are now and we will be running with the new rules. Fun fact: We didn't actually use these rules for the first time until Malaconda. Yep.

Legal Pokedex submissions must meet the following standards
No more than three WIP Pokedex Entries can be posted by any individual person through the entire course of the submission thread. This limit applies to ALL posts made by a single person, even if previous posts are edited or deleted. This limit is intended to curb the tendency for some submitters to spam the thread repeatedly with multiple Pokedex Entries. This detracts from other submissions and makes it difficult for commenters to survey the submission thread.
Do not bump your WIP Pokedex Entries by posting them repeatedly, or making minor wording changes. Bumping will result in the disqualification of all Pokedex Entries by the offender. Editing or deleting bump posts will not prevent disqualification.
Only ONE Final Submission can be made per person.
Pokedex Entry Final Submissions can only be posted after a CAP Moderator posts in the thread that final submissions are open. Any final submission posted prior to the Moderator notification post, will disqualify the submitter from the poll entirely. Even if the offending post is edited later or deleted, the submitter will still be disqualified for the remainder of the thread. This ensures that all submitters have equal opportunity to post final submissions without anyone unfairly "jumping the gun".
Pokedex entries Final Submissions must posted exactly in the following format and in the following exact order:
Example final submission:
I'll probably have this open for 2 or 3 days but I will post a 24 hour warning when you need to Final Submit. Do NOT Final Submit before this time. Let me know if you spot any mistakes!
Have fun!
