i assume the spriter poll mon reveal will prob be this weekend
the winner's raffle won't be until after they finish all the contests for new mons
13 hours for me
copium inhaling noises
Thinking about it
We probably see the spriter poll result on saturday
Next go won't be impossible
Raffle most likely this week, when Necrozma and Trev contests end then they can pull and reveal that which will be the week after
but wouldn't there be another contest for the spriter poll reveal?
most likely as Zero stated, and I have said as well; we'll probably get the spriter poll reveal this weekend, with the raffle likely being in the 11th at the earliest
Even if that's the case, the hopium is strong with me
The winners raffle is specifically for mons revealed in the community polls though
Blitz week was the spriter poll and didn’t count toward the raffle
so the mon that gets revealed from the spriter poll won't have a contest of its own?
also there were contests for some of the extras that weren't blitz...so that makes less sense
There's a psychological thing I'm curious about
I wonder if people didn't vote for some mons they wanted because they assumed they were popular enough already and would more than likely get in anyways, so instead focused on their more niche picks
So is that all the new pokemon?
I feel like this has been going on for like half the year
Its been like two months lol
Seeing that Necrozma is being added is solgaleo and lunala going to be joining soonish?
we can only hope
we have 2 more reveals for now
any future additions will likely come next year, or as Hypnotoad is able to add them
Maybe one for christmas?
no guarantees, unless the person who wins the raffle picks em...doubtful
How many new pokemon are there in total so far? (Counting both bonus and comunnity picks)
39 (+1 with Ultra Necrozma, +3 with the Oricorio forms)
It's cause people think Dewgong is enough

im very glad it didnt personally
Mechanically they fill near identical roles
If I could just vote spheal, maybe
But paying a 2 Mon tax for the orb is too much
And yet people want seviper despite being another arbok
Nostalgia maybe
Seviper has a good cost/value ratio
It would come with zangoose, who is cool, and it itself is also cool
Mechanically not valuable, but like, worth
Like how garbodor mechanically adds nothing because of muk, but thematically it carries it's weight
Also on seviper's case, it provides more coverage and interesting movesets than Arbok
Is its movepool actually that much better?
Grass, Fire, Dark, some Electric coverage i think
But it also functions better as a special attacking partner for snake fusions
Those are two different things imo. One is garbage (in a good way) and the other one is just goop
A friend told me that Pecha berries look like butts and now I can't unsee it
That's just peaches in general.
I mean, true
As stated, mechanically Garbodor is very similar to Muk and doesn't add much. But thematically Garbodor adds a lot of fusion concept space that Muk doesn't cover
There's so many Pokemon, I definitely think aesthetic played a way bigger role in people's votes than any niche or competitive reasons.
I voted 0 for toxapex mainly from competitive
My votes actually were pretty mechanically driven, for the most part. Mainly focused on mons that had something unique to them compared to existing content, and specifically made sense to see during a normal playthrough of the before-the-E4 (aka I gave all legendaries a 0
)
I never even got around to actually voting.
Most Gen 5 mons are mechanically just reskins/reflavors of Gen 1 mons. Gigalith/Golem, Conkeldurr/Machamp, Garbodor/Muk, etc.
Doesn't mean I don't want to see every single Gen5 mon added to this game eventually
Oricorio was one of my main votes because I was hoping that Rev Dance would work like it does in SV where it just uses whatever primary type the Mon is, making it really really good for fusions
Gigalith is pure rock though so at least a bit different.
Gigalith benefits from being pure rock tbf
Also Gigalith looks way fukin cooler
I seedot
Had one on my main team in Black I think? Solid defense.
(now if only they gave it a usable Special Attack to capitalize on the gimmick of being the only rock type to learn Solar Beam)
I know that seems like a weird thing to fixate on, but it's not my fault the Dex entries make a point of mentioning how it's able to store solar energy in its crystals and fire beams of light, meanwhile it has 45 SpA
I thought we did not get the spriters vote yet?
There were loads of other extras besides the yet to be decided spriter's vote
Also looking at that chart, I didn't realize how few actual lines we got from the community poll. 7 lines, and 2 legend sets.
Yeah, people voted for a legendary trio, likely without recognizing that it takes up as much space as any 3 stage line would
That's why I also prioritized 1 and 2 stage mons in my votes, to maximize variety
I usually did too
Unless i really wanted it, such as Vikavolt
I think my top hope for the 2 remaining event picks is lurantis. I need to see pokemon in fancy pants.
Dogg
Eh, we have enough dogs imo. And bugs have historically had amazing fusions.
Even though it's technically a grass type, but still.
The bug type has a generally loud and dedicated fanbase, I say as a member of the bug type fanbase
There's no such thing as enough dogs.
Just not enough hands
Yes there is
I wanna pet ALL OF THEM but god cursed me to only have 2 HANDS
But what about fast rock types?
Choice scarf weak armor Onix 
Golisopod and Lycanroc are the two mons that I would like to see in game the most
Zangoose is mechanically worth it though, Toxic Boost isn't a very common ability, and it has a pretty neat moveset to go along with it.
Zangoose definitely has some value that Seviper is missing, yeah
Its movepool slaps, normal is a pretty good type to just slap on stuff without issues, and on top of it all it's design is good too
Well give me a quick claw and call me Mewtwo, that's a great idea! 
I want Ribombee and/or Lurantis, myself.
Beedrill + ribombee = Beebee
I want Drampa, Torkoal or Abomasnow
Ultra Necrozma is a bonus
Well yeah but they were announced together and you can't really have ultra without base necrozma.
unless you only played base s/m 
When do you think we're getting the spriters choice mon
Anywhere from right now to the end of time
friday at the earliest my prediction
this weekend is the most likely for the spriter poll mon
winner's raffle will likely be on the 11th
unless they decide to do both at the same time
hopefully they do both
the update might come out sooner
or not idk how game development works lol
as of now the dev wants to try and get it out before the end of the year
Guys, the spriter poll mon has been revealed
The video doesn’t load but i swear if it’s that one smurf cat
it totally isnt youre good
Have any of the Pokémon announced been added? Or will they all be added in a later update
the latter
Ah k
at best, sometimes in november december
I don't understand the Smurf cat meme
Me either.
I guess imcomprehensible = funny now
updated list of the number of used pokemon types in PIF ||after ⬛ ◾ ⬛ reveal||
ice (20). fighting (22). dark, fairy (25). electric (28).
ghost (33). steel (34). dragon, bug (36). rock, fire (38). ground (44).
psychic, poison (47). grass (48).
normal (57). flying (60). water (69).
Dragon ties with bug! Psychic ties with Poison!
Still have the funny number on water types!!!!!!!!!!
I think someone pointed it out earlier but poison specifically also gets huge boost from being the most common type in gen 1
wow i guess ice types are not very popular
and strangely enough fighting seems to have a relatively low number of mons
crabrwaler and crabominable could give a small boost to both but i dont think anyone wants those pokemon
I like crabrawler, I just wish it didn't turn into crabominable
Or rather, I wish Crabominable was a better designed Mon because I like the inspiration
yeah
crabrawler seems like an alright pokemon
but then crabominable and its dumb design ruins it
and theyre a package deal so you cant just have crabrawler by itself
maybe they just shouldnt have gone in that direction with crabrawler and just done more punching stuff
Kinda wish it turned into a mantis shrimp or something lol
Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist should be released tomorrow; best Halloween ever.
That's just me though
knowing the devs thats a legitimate possiblity lol
I'm almost certain this is going to happen
Well that and I've had a cute Clefairy/Pumpkaboo fusion just gathering dust in my fusion folder on my laptop that I swear was uploaded here.
itd have to all line up though
itd have to be the winner of one of the two votes that are still not revealed yet
and ready by halloween tomorrow
Me:
im not sure what time zone the devs live in
for me its like 6:45pm, still the 30th
frogman's timezone is EST
im sure we'll get something real soon
meloetta 
Technically wolfs and lucario is the only wolf i mean they are called lycanrock
I also want him in the game i have a great fusion for him
Two lines left, one from the Contest Winner Raffle and one from the Spriter Poll. Idk about the raffle, but there were no Legendary/Mythical pokemon or starters in the Spriter poll
i feel like im the only one who actually likes zeraora lol
Honestly kinda surprised the only legends we got were the Regis/Necrozma
I’m glad we got all the regis. Just one or two would be stupid.
I feel like Zeraora is fine, but it kinda just feels like electric Lucario
I think the Regis were always gonna be grouped together
yeah
theyre a defined set of three
no way were we only getting one of them
its be like only getting dialga without palkia and giratina
of all the weird gift-exclusive pokemon, magearna has to be my favorite
That being said, we did have Gigas before the rest lol
oh yeah magearna's great
and also regigigas has a bit more leeway cause it's the main one
if we got only arceus or only giratina without dialga and palkia id kinda get it
maybe there was a constraint of some kind and only one could get in
in which case putting the main one in makes sense
Despite not liking Cresselia very much, I do kinda feel like it should get in, what with Darkrai being in
is cresselia tied to darkrai in some way?
They're a duo. I believe they represent both sides of the moon, and dreams/nightmares
in that case i guess its a little weird that both arent in
though, they dont seem to be super tied to each other like say groudon and kyogre are
in which case itd be fine if only one of the two got in
sorta like if either ho-oh or lugia got in
only one of them
Also Cresselia was Legendary and Darkrai was Mythical, so I don't think many people saw them as a duo
Since the vast majority of people only got Cresselia
yeah theyre more separate honestly
i do wonder if we actually will get one more legendary or legendary set for the votes
The Spriter Poll didn't have any Legendary or Mythicals, but it may be a possibility with the Contest Raffle
yeah i guess we'll see what we get
hopefully something good
Personally I want Ludicolo, Claydol or Clawitzer
clawitzer would be kinda cool
im personally hoping for the leavanny and lurantis lines
but im not holding my breath
I wonder when we will receive answers for what won the spriter poll
hopefully we get one tomorrow
but i wouldnt count on it
we gotta wait a while
In the end...
No lurantis 
Guys do the new pokemon get added automatically or are they added in bulk when there is an update?
what more weird is that Necrozma got added in but not solgaleo and lunala, and even ultra necrozma got added, and necrozma can't even turn to ultra form without Solgaleo or Lunala
bulk, most probably the next major update
in which case we dont know when it will drop, my guesses is Christmas
Yeah I was wondering about that too
Cause I hear necrozma and the two lines are really connected
So where is the cosmog line
Yeah, I'm pretty sad about this myself. Cosmoem and Cosmog have always been really cool to me and I would've loved the opportunity to give them actual moves because their stats ain't half bad with an Eviolite
thought as much, thanks for the answer 👍
np, we are just as excited as you are.
for the mean time, feel free to discuss your opinion here
dying waiting for the update but I know the wait is worth it
Cant wait to try out ultra slaking (lol)
Lucario's a jackal but i get your point
Gg.
There's no full on wolf mon
There's no fast rock types (except aerodactyl but aerodactyl can't learn decent rock moves by lvl up until level 73 so it doesn't really count)
Wait, how many more Pokémon are we gonna be getting?
A lot
or not
who know

At least 2
Unironically speaking
Aren’t the winners of the contest choosing a mon too?
That's one of the two
Contest winner and Trevenant rush
OH yeah and the spriters poll
So 3
Those could be singular mons or entire lines
Based on how they were bundled up in the original poll
Contest winner and trevenant rush are pooled together
1 of each contest winner, and 1 random trevenant contributor are pooled together, and 1 is randomly chosen to pick a mon
So still at least 2
Oh yeah that's a thing i guess, true
you guys dnt banana all the time
Yep
Regis are a mixed bag.
Regirock was trash
Regice required high technical skill
Registeel was the easiest to work with
No love for Cresselia
Tbh there's nothing new Cresselia would've added given we already have a few galaxy themed mons
Fair, just think she should be in since Darkrai is in
Same logic with Regis then. Might as well add them in since Regigigas is in
Necrozma requires high technical skill and conceptualization to work with... i'm too unskilled to work with it
Good pokemon to make cool-looking fusions I guess
Maybe
Well, it doesn't matter. Overall I have been happy with the pokemon that got in
Honestly I'm more surprised with him being there without Solgaleo/Lunala, not that I care about Necrozma anyway
Yeah
Maybe Cresselia has a chance next time
It's fine. Necrozma encroaching on other Pokemon and not just Solgaleo/Lunala makes sense in the IF universe anyways
Cosmog line is also kinda... bleh, except for Solgaleo in terms of fusion material anyways
Pretty sure moonbat is the more popular one though
Same reasoning as Creselia, we already have enough galaxy themed materials
Honestly I don't even care about most missing legendaries except maybe Cresselia because I'm a gen4 fan
I prefer more random encounters tbh
When did they start adding pokemon back in? Last I was here it was all "we can't possibly fit even one more"
Noivern and Aurorus are in my top 10, yay
september i think was when they started adding stuff, as that was when the voting poll closed
Because frog finally managed to make the dynamic fusion system
the dev and staff found a way for the game to see fusions differently, this opened up the ability to add in more mons to the game
the way it is coded now, we could add in like x10 the amount of mons to the dex before we run into this issue once again
The dynamic fusion system was only ever hypothesized, but another fusion game managed to put it into practice, so frog gave it a shot
TL:DR: The new system no longer registers EVERY SINGLE FUSION as an entry in the database, but insteads generates the fusion on the spot
^
So the limitation of RPGmaker's limited database was mitigated
granted it will still take work to add in new mons; so they popped out a poll for us to vote on, they just finished announcing those mons...the staff also gave us a myriad of bonus additions, plus we still have a spriter poll mon/line and the winner's raffle mon/line
any additions beyond these two we will likely either see sometime next year if/when they do another poll, or as Hypnotoad wants to add them to the game and has the time to add them
this heavily includes the Gen 5, 6, and 7 starters
as they were on the voting poll, but had to be dq'ed because well...we wanted them a bit too much [each set held like 70%+ of the votes]. dev didn't want the poll to be 2 generations of starters plus 2 other mons so, boop
I updated the type distribution list, and Fighting is now worse off than it was before. 😢
That's something. But in all honesy, fighting doesn't seem to offer much for fusions
At least it feels like it lacks some fun designs for fusions. Hawlucha offers much and bewear/stufful too. But there isn't much outside of them.
The gen 7 Pseudo legend maybe or Medicham. But that's really it. The fun/creative fighting types came with gen 8/9. So yeah, rip Fighting
Eeeh, I disagree
Arent there the 4 sword legendaries from black and white? I feel like theyre designs could offer some fun ideas
Idk... if you want a preview, Terrakion looks very similar to Tauros, and there aren't alot of notable Tauros fusions
Meditite/Medicham, Scraggy/Scraffy Makuhita/Hariyama, Throh/Sawk are pretty unique in themselves imo, at the very least
Just becuz they're unique doesn't mean they make good fusion material
Perhaps. But the three other swords offer some variety. Especially with virizion getting a new for in scarlet and violet to help inspire some more robotic fusions
Throh and Sawk are especially awful examples
And keldeo is just a tiny horse. Who doesnt love tiny horse?
No point trying to meet the diversity quota if the ones filling the spots don't have much to offer
Granted, Medicham line does seem good
Surprised no1 mentioned Mienshao too
Eeeh, I mean, there's already really good and original fusions with Gardevoir, when I would think she's not a good fusion material (except that she's a "waifu" pokemon)
It really depends on the interest behind a pokemon. Dialaga has a great design but currently according to the daena website it has few fusions compared to other mons
It's a skill issue
True but the point still stands
Same problem with Necrozma as well, as well as any complicated Pokemon
best bets for fighting mons [either pure, or mixed]
Scraggy/Scrafty
Makuhita/Hariyama
Timburr/Gurdurr/Conkledurr
Crogunk/Toxicroak
Mienfoo/Mienshao
Jangmo-o/Hakamo-o/Kommo-o
Tepig/Pignite/Emboar
Meloetta
Chespin/Quilladin/Chesnaught
those are bring the best possibilities for fusion material
anything else either fits into a niche we kind of already have for fusion material, or might be too difficult to make fusions for
You missed Pangoro out there. 😛
points to Stufful/Bewear
The issue with Fighting is that there's only a few archetypes of fighting types in terms of mechanics, and we've covered the bases on those already, so the only thing actually getting them in is their designs
Red pandas aren't panda bears. 😛
Type combinations, too. 😉
That's why I'm mostly advocating for Toxicroak and Pangoro. We need post-Johto Poison-types, and just Dark-types in general. 😄
It's IF
I can just slap a Mon of the other type on a hitmonlee
But then you have to use Hitmonlee. 😛
That's a good thing
it is?
Yeah hitmonlee is cool
It's hitmontop that's the bad one
You can tell because it's from johto
yeah, but for me, he just doesn't really hit the mark in what I want out of a fighting mon
Oh then you use machamp instead
There are tanky bruisers, glass cannons, and the like 3 mixed attackers who are all here iirc
i've used machamp once, it worked for that run
You can use the 2 firefighters we have in the game
but I want different themes
most of what I mentioned brings in stuff we either don't have at all, or lack
As stated, the only thing validating more fighting types is their designs
That's an offensive thing to say lol
look the only reason to have hitmontop at this point is if malamar eventually gets in so we can break the fabric of the universe
And the severe lack of Fighting types
nah its IF, we have a bunch of fighting types
Thats why we need Gogoat
Like yeah he isnt a fighting type
But hes the and a goat
just gotta fuse mons to make em fighting, only viable solution
Like the third lowest amount of mons iirc
The Yeti crab would be a interesting fighting type
The face makes everythingh a Yeti version and the body is fighting
Yeah but again, look at the archetypes of fighting types
Glass cannons
Tanky bruisers
The mixed attackers
That's it
We have them all
so by your logic, we should get no new mons ever because we already have everything that fits?
Pretty much what he says yeah
because by technicality...we do, for every type we have the options
Nah other types have a ton of unique mons to work with yeah
You mean like Flying types?
nah, we got plenty of those, we don't need more
And we're getting one of the major ones for Flying in Noivern, yeah
Yeah like Fearow or Pidgeot
A wildly good special attacker flying type
we have special attackers that are flying type though...
thanks to fusions
Still dont understand why people hate on Noivern for PIF
I see it so often
i enjoy the possibilities he brings
Same I love having Noivern in PIF he is in my top 3 fav mons
the only mon I'm not thrilled with is a bonus...so I can't hate it as much, and that is Dhel
Slightly different than what I mean
A Mon that is mechanically valuable is one that allows a combination of traits not seen before in the game from a single Mon
Noivern can make things special flying types by slapping it on anything, freeing up the other slot to bring other traits, when other flying types usually need a high-special Pokemon in the other slot specifically
I mean the Dhelmise fusions I saw arent that bad
I dislike Altaria line more cuz I didnt see a single fusion I really like
everything else either fits into
"Yeah, I'm good with this, not my favorite choice, but hey, I'm not one to complain"
or
"Oh Yeah"
Dhelmise is an amazing Mon to add to Infinite Fusion
Steelworker is a unique ability to give anything a third STAB to work with
Dragon*
Noiverns head will probably be dragon
Noivern is Flying/Dragon, is it not
And bodys take most % of the stats from Atk, Def and speed
Heads pass down primary type, bodies secondary
Yeah but I think they probably change it cuz the wings are on the body
Outside of specific mons that only pass down 1 type
I see no reason to do that tbh
Wouldnt be a first tbh
They changed Trevenants order too same on for example magnemite
Well if they do that then I'll be saddened I guess
Because that would be an awesome Hurricane user if it was able to keep STAB on that Special
been a while
Yeah. Fighting really offers very little unique gameplay wise.
Medicham offers Huge Power, which is mega nice. Mienshao offers a strong offensive stat spread. I can maybe see Toxicroak too. But tbh the Yeti crab would actually be interesting too.
Like it offers a potential creepy design, hammer aesthetic and it offers different things compared to the other crab mon
Also Ice Hammer would be really nice to have ngl
meloetta
I didn't include Medicham since we have a means of Huge Power already...plus I just don't like how it looks
not fond of the yeti crab either
crabominable is my least favourite pokemon
when new mons will be added in game?
when theyre ready
waiting for noivern😌
Happy Halloween
i have become spooky
How do you feel?
is it only the spriters poll left or is there another pokemon being added
??? But Medicham doesn't have Huge Power
Neither does Mega Medabot
They have Pure Power
potato potata
heh
theyre being an ass for jokes lol, pure power and huge power are effectively the same ability
I'd love toxicroak but I also think Crobat+Fighting Mon just does it better
It's literally the same ability lol
Just a different name. But there is no other difference. Anyway I think more Huge/Pure Power users would be nice. Medicham also has a nice physical movepool for fusions. And it's design can be used for some fun fusions.
2 lines is what we get
Do we have an estimated time for when the version with the new pokemon will be added? Can I get an estimation. Will it be like by the end of 2023, in a few weeks, 2025? I don't mean to rush the devs, I just want a general idea.
somewhere in the future
👍
Soon™
Frogman plans this year but even if it takes longer its fine
yoo that's amazing! I'd gotten bored with it because it was always the same handful of pokemon to sprite. Might have to get back in the saddle.
Is anyone gonna start a new run with one of the new mon as their starter?
New mon?
As in any of the pokemon this channel is about?
I think I'm going to start a classic run and actually complete the base pokedex. Never actually got around to it in my other playthroughs.
Once the new mons come out I mean.
Well I play on random, so starting with a new mon is entirely a matter of chance
You can still force it I think
Probably
I would use Venipede as my starter I think
Its my fav mon and has pretty much the starter level up area
It would be nice to get that walk through walls thing. There's a couple spots I wanted to check out. Just annoying I have to unfuse things in a new game+ for them to count.
I definitely want to fuse more myself though instead of having everything fused from the start.
might as well start now, updating won't break/flag the save
Hard to say if this only refers to the 2 spriter only picks or not. They do count as bonuses too
So this might not be a confirmation for even more bonuses.
There are two bonus mon left, sprinters vote and winners raffle which is what this is probably referring too, since the only ones not bonuses are those from the community poll
Hmmm I will say it's nice having necrozma, but still a part of me is sad we didn't get the other 4, it would've made sense too since in the games you could fuse them together
discord light mode
But jokes aside, i believe the bonus picks are the spriters vote and the winner raffle... Unless there's something else hidden that i don't know.
I don’t necessarily blame you, or anyone really, for thinking the he needs the sun lion and the moon bat. But in his 1st appearance he had nothing to do with ether of them. He was an UB that had a 1% chance to show up in one area. He doesn’t need them to go ultra, he just needs something that can give off a lot of light.
So one of those emergency "world's brightest flashlights" would work just as well
hmmm I never thought of it like that, well I'm still curious as to how they'll implement burst form
Yeah, it's honestly surprising.
Scrappy as hidden ability, has balanced attack and special attack, and judging from his gen VIII and VII movesets, he can learn some good moves too.
It all comes down to how it looks for me. it is just a giant screaming mouth to me and not much else.
sry if its a dumb question but are the new pokemon just added to the game automatically or all released in the next update
I believe they're going to be released in the next update.
Hey at least you forgetting is how i learned that's an option
Exploud will be one of the bonus picks. You can trust me. I actually dreamt it.
Are the new pokemons out yet?
20 minutes ago
No, frogman hopes the update can come out before the end of the year
Surely they’d reveal something spooky on spooky day right
The spooky thing is the game files dissapeared, no new update.
no guarantee...they did the rush event to try and get 2 mons all the base dex sprites done
last I had heard i think it was almost 400 heads done and like 200 bodies done [across the 2 of them combined]
Since we're getting Ultra Necrozma...
The scary thing is nothing 
Are we also going to get Kyurem Black and White? 👀
Probs not, Ultra Necrozma is a “in battle” form only
Yeah but we know form changing works now thanks to Oricorio
This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.
Meaning we might even see both Aegislash forms
Well apparently there’s not a sprite for white kyurem (unless it’s the inverse form)
i mean the base Kyurem/Reshiram looks close to White Kyurem
the left being default from the actual games and the right being the IF sprite
that is out of battle form shifting though, necrozma is only in battle and has stipulations behind it
being you need a specific item equiped and you have to use a certain move
The right Sprite is a freeze frame of the left animation pretty sure?
Like that's an official sprite on the right fairly sure.
nopf
the left sprite is the official grabbed from serebii.net, the right is the custom sprite made for Kyurem/Reshiram found on the daena site
?tag daena
its possible the artist used an actual in game sprite of white kyurem as a reference and copied it
Yes- I know that in-game White Kyurem in bw2 was capable of glowing like that

sit back and watch... you'l...
actually scratch that. It ALWAYS glowed like that.
Like here's the comparison
can't tell the difference but if it was a imitation pretty good
my brain genuinely thought it was orange tho
the art credit for that is completely wrong.
clickbaited by the art he is not orange
blame the daena site, not me
I only screenshotted what was listed there
we have sprite managers for a reason
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1052360360172199977 is where you can report it
Who would the credit go to, no one I'm assuming?
gamefreak, as is the case with other base sprites for gen 5 and lower
well assuming they're the ones used in gen 4 or 5
i have one issue with kyurem sprites in general: why does the ice become a greenish?
I hope greninja and lycanroc in the next pole
My version of lycanrock and noivern
That's cool
Of course it would be black purple but I like black red more.
Also may need some noivern details
But as a base it's good
Needs more zangoose for the new pokemon
It already has his ears and wings
I mean yeah maybe noivern colors would help convince me
Better
These new pokemons will only join the game When all got revealed?
Is this better
Playing a hack of black I just realized Snivy has contrary
Meaning that if snivy gets in, another contrary user gets in
I would had more hopes into lurantis or malamar
they devs dont want to give us contrary draco meteor
i think that might be exclusive to that hack
i checked and officially snivy only has overgrow like the other grass starters
i would love inkay and malamar to get in
not cause of contrary or anything
but itd make way for a lot of creative upside down fusions
nope
contrary is its ha
snivy has contrary as ha for sure
oh yeah hidden abilities
ok so the site i use to check abilities apparently doesnt show hidden abilities
and many fangames give wild pokemon a chance to naturally have their ha
ok that makes sense now
Reminds me of being a kid and drinking juice through a crazy-straw :P
are there any fangames that give guzzlord a chance to appear in the overworld?
Yes but I can no longer suggest it
We can only hope.
That moment when you wish for Halloween spirit but all you get is silence
For real though today would be the day to do that
animated sprites wen
/s
When Relicanth gets added
merry halloween
this is late and i mad that i'm not dark anymore i'm not a crow
May you reconsider your bruxish placement? 
no
Ain't no way you place Minior so low 💀
no way you put spritzee and aromatisse in anything other than bottom tier 
I can't see shit on this picture
download it and zoom in
I'm glad everyone seems to be on the same page with Oranguru/Passimian
theyre honestly really forgettable and not very popular
we have other monkey pokemon in game
theyre really not needed
Yeah, they're not even bad enough to be memorable lmao
bruxish is bad but at least its memorable by how badly designed it is
the two monkeys are so unmemorable and unnotable that i cant even be bothered to say their names lol
I played Sun and I can't even remember which one was in which game
honestly why did they even bother with them
theyre sorta just filler pokemon
Yeah, I feel like they had to pad out the dex somehow. There's only so much you can do in a Hawaii themed area lol
Hell, look at Comfey
no idea whats going on with comfey
or why it isnt fairy/grass
"What's in Hawaii?"
"Uh, they have those flower necklace thingies, but idk if we can really do a design around that"
"Bro klefki but flowers"
if they made it like, a pokemon that wears flower chains instead of being a literal flower chain it might be more notable i guess
Honestly, in terms of theme I feel like Oricorio is one of the better ones
Yeah, Pallosand doesn't strike me as strictly Hawaiian though
guess the reasoning was, "there are lots of sandy beaches in hawaii. Let's do a sand creature"
and i dont need every single pokemon introduced in a region to come directly from that region's culture and stuff
Oh yeah, definitely. It fits really well
Relicanth fusions could be making any pokemon prehistoric
or fossil like i guess
though we already have dinosaur pokemon in the game
We did also just get 2 more dinosaurs lol
Ya but those are much more defined in design. I mean I'm not rooting for I just think it's in the wrong category
meh
idk if relicanth is strictly necessary or will add a ton
itd be fine if it was in but its not super needed
i do personally want tropius
not that itd be amazing or anything but i do have a personal connection to it
used it in platinum
i feel like they could also focus on adding in pokemon that probably shouldve been in there from the start but werent for some reason
like the wurmple line, combee line, staraptor line
then again i know that adding pokemon takes time and storage and stuff so it might be ok to leave some of them out
Hopefully they'll be able to do more votes and such now that the fusion system is reworked
what we really need is more starter sets and legendaries
those are the most requested ones
those are the coolest ones
game would really benefit from their inclusion
theyve made note of how much the community wants the starters in game
hopefully itll happen in the future
Problem with Legendaries is the majority of them would be post game
true
and you need new events to house them
same with the starters probably
Plus a big problem is where to put them, since an XP project can only have so many maps
Especially if they start including more and more normal mons. The routes are gonna end up pretty saturated
true
this would probably take a ton of effort, but i wonder if they could do a "remaster" of the game where they move the game to a new platform of some kind that could handle more maps and larger maps
maybe add new areas and stuff for the legendaries
I think the main issue is that Pokemon Essentials is XP only, and I don't think there's a good replacement for later versions
also i wonder if theyll ever do a thing where they renumber the pokedex so its in national dex order
put pokemon in places where they make more sense
like the regis come after regigigas and stuff
itd probably be unnecessary and not worth the effort but idk itd be more satisfying that way
Also, with the amount of work that went into redoing the fusion system, I don't think they have plans to switch lol
yeah lol
maybe in the distant future or something when they find a place that can handle a larger pokemon game
Infinite Fusion 2: Electric Boogaloo
a sequel could go pretty hard lol
The problem isn't the game being able to handle the fusions
It's the players having enough space on their computers to download the game
ah that makes sense
and i was taking more about the map space
and the game being able to have a larger map with more rooms
I mean, as it is now it's a relatively small game. Even if there were custom sprites for every single fusion it wouldn't take more than 10 or so gigs.
i have a good laptop
i can spare 10 gigs for a really good pokemon game
and i probably wont even need all 10 cause theres no chance in hell im collecting every fusion ever lol
Wow, it would actually be a lot less. If we assume an average of 7kb, 178000 sprites is about 1.2GB
(I couldn't remember the exact number of combos off the top of my head)
even if there are more fusion sprites, itd still be a really small number
However, filesize is much less a problem than number of files. 178000 files is a lot for a PC to sift through, so you honestly need a decent CPU at a certain point
yeah true
not sure how youd solve that other than simply having a more powerful computer
Yeah, that's where my knowledge ends lol
well its also impossible to collect every fusion
you'd need to tweak the game code to get more boxes [i think someone tried this and it didn't work well]
well
i dont mean "collect" every fusion
more so just get every fusion in the pokedex
I remember a kid on here talking about how they completed the entire dex in a week lmao
like for the base pokemon or the fusions
if its the fusions then theres no way lol
Yeah, when I brought up the fact that it would take 6 straight days of perfect button presses to do every fusion possible they piped down lol
Christ why do I want that
i wonder if anyones actually done that
if anyones actually legitimately colleccted every single fusion in the dex
surely if someone had done that by now theyd be famous on here
because america
Waffles are generally just a bread-thing without the syrup
I've actually made savory waffles before, but honestly didn't prefer them to regular waffles lol
This gif is more american than the stereotypical star-spangled eagle
It's really the disregard for one's own safety that does it
The winds don't look that bad; it doesn't seem like a hurricane or anything
It also seems like it's in a suburb where there isn't much traffic
Iirc, the context was that a hurricane was coming in lol
There are other american ways to endanger yourself
Looked it up, he was headbanging to Slayer in hurricane Matthew
like said cheese waffles
Confirmed: The same guy who made Guzzlord's design also finalized Bruxish's design.
James Turner, born 1978 is a British graphic designer who worked at Game Freak. In 2010, he became the first Westerner to officially design Pokémon.
Turner designed Pokémon for Pokémon Black and White, Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and Pokémon Sword and Shield; he was also the Art Director for the latte...
he was a youtuber for a bit too yeah?
I've been inactive here for a while but I come back to see NECROZMA IS BEING ADDED
LETS GOOOOO
you know what could be cool with the regis if you fused them with certain mons you get regimelt regirode and regirust
Yes, i would say so
well
it seems that nothing was revealed on halloween
thats a shame
ah well i guess we can wait till saturday
Regice + fire, Regirock + ground, Registeel + water
"The reason it hasn’t changed at all in a hundred million years is that it’s apparently already a perfect life-form"
Are solgaleo and lunala in?
Can also make it Regice + water (melted ice), Regirock + ground (rock crumbles to sand), Registeel + fire (steel melts)
It's what Insurgence did for their Delta regi trio 😂
Never
Is there a rough timeframe for when the final 2 pokemon lines will be revealed?
is there an approximate date when new pokemons will go live?
No
Yes, that's a threat
No
I can't believe they're delaying the (inevitable) reveal of Bruxish
Can’t wait for the raffle results
First we get spriter poll tho
Marshadow there yet?
WHY NOTTTT
It's just not
🍞 <-- full of gluten
I remember someone really going for it. 😄
This new update is going to be a lot more work for them. 😢

I don’t see anything there tho
What do you mean you don't see anything in the pins? 
I do but I don’t see anything about Marshadow
then that is the answer
I thought he meant in the pins it would say something why Marshadow will never be added but he didn’t mean that did he
no
the pins have the list of all currently confirmed additions to the game
we are expecting 2 more reveals
the spriter poll [which from what spriters have said, did not have legendaries/mythicals on it]
and the winner's raffle
Yea unfortunately he will not be making it in. Not sure about winners raffle, I don't think they will include mythicals and legendaries similar to Spriters Vote.
I wouldn't count on it, basically
Whats spriters vote
The blitz event
I still don’t get it but it’s fine
At least machop and Chandelure creates Marshadow
Basically a form of compensation for us slaves 
Lol
Cuz Marshadow is Darkrai from wish
But the designs could be absolutely amazing
And how can you have Necrozma, a pokemon known fur fusions, without Solgaleo and Lunala, the pokemon Nerozma is known to fuse with
Nah actually it isnt
But talking about new mons
Someone made art of my Aurorus and Amaura fusion
I love this fusion
Was necrozma the 20th pick or the spriter pick? Or is that yet to be announced...
20th community pick
Nice. Didnt they say somewhere that the spriter pick would be revealed on the 31st? Or was that just trolls being trolls
I love the red version so that would be the second sprite
Nah they didnt say that
If we're assuming normal schedule, then the spriter poll pick would be revealed this weekend. I don't think it'll be the raffle winner since I haven't heard of anyone being picked from the Trevenant rush yet nor any of the contest winners saying they selected their pick. Another bonus mon is still a possibility (I still find it weird that Necrozma is in without the rest of its trio, so I'm hoping they get added too), but it seems like the right timing for the spriter votes to finish being tallied by now.
It will most probably be private to avoid controversy/outrage
The raffle winner i mean
The way it was described it seems to be every contest winner (and the lucky Trevenant spriter) nominates a line and then it's randomly picked from within those, so it would be reasonable to see people saying who they nominated even if not everyone's pick is public.
Oh that yaaaaaah. Well I wouldn't mind if they did some talk with the winner before they pull the trigger... Never hurts being told what could happen ya know?
With the polls we always have the certainty that it's more of a collective screw up
Okay hold on let me rephrase, I think they are told to remain anonymous about their picks.
I guess the raffle people get to decide over the next week after the announcement
This is just for safety and private zone reasons. Internet freaks are wild sometimes
What I know is that the Sprite managers know the winner from spriter poll that we get at around saturday
I think they should be anonymous in general, unless it's an attention seeker that wants to be known name and all.
Like its good they get a pick, but the choice will always come with criticism, and the only way to avoid harassment is basically anonimity
True but i feel if they violated this rule, they wouldve gotten disqualified. At least that is what I wouldve done. Its like Fight Club. Rule 1, dont talk about it.
Yuh
I mean don't reveal who the raffle pick comes from, poor person even If I disagree with them deserves respect over their choice, not everyone agrees with me tho, just like how I gotten time out before silly things
Those are just my 2 cents tho, idk what theyre cooking behind the scenes so take it with lots of salt grains
Nah I think the contest winners didnt even add theyr mons to the raffle yet
And even if they do who cares what they chose
Ah, yeah, that is a possibility. Come to think of it, leaving the raffle as the last pokemon to be added might make some people upset when it's revealed
The salty folks on the server do yep
I wouldn't be upset over monkeys, but I know for sure there are people here who are downright triggered by it.
If it was a bonus pick halfway through reveal season people wouldn't have cared as much if a mon they liked didn't get in
Funnily enough its most likely be me if lunala gets into the game 
Skippo. Just kidding hope your goat can get in like that
Also they need to wait until all reveals are reveald cuz it wouldnt work if they decide and weeks later the same mon gets reveald regardless
Go down the list to the next poll option or have the winner pick a new line (since the community poll results have been known for a while)
Yeah but as I say I guess they will let them choose after the next reveal
probably have the winner pick something else, it'd be weird to just negate them winning entirely and just grab the next mon from the poll
Oh speaking of, the salt when the full community poll results are revealed and we see what mon placed 21st will be glorious.
Y
I know one of the winners had two mons they supported from the list and then well... Those got added lol
Actually I don't mind the simiapes as much as something as luvdisk. Luvdisk is just wasteful honestly
As I said once it's equal to burning a lottery ticket
assuming they even share the poll results at all beyond frog mentioning the dq of the starters
This u?
No rockruff line 😦
this guy funny tho ngl
Necrozma is nice though
Community vote yes because they were 6 slots, anything else nope.
fair ig
ah yes...6 slots is a waste for monkeys...but 9 slots for starters

I didnt vote for them tbh, I only know people are obsessed with greninja
Every gen has atleast two starters I like so... Except 6 that one only has 1 line I like
Imagine the raffle would have starters
hope the raffle has guzzlord in it
Bruxish raffle soon
no
I still hold out hope for Liligant, even though I know it is in vain.
So does Ultra Necrozma transform in battle?
We don't know yet how Ultra Necrozma will work
No Tsareena? I'm disappointed
That's so lazy using the 3D model
im just glad my team made it in
then do you have a SPRITE of tsareena
smh
been a bit since i posted the squad (they are going to beat you to death)
... That's disgusting... did u purposely change the png to a jpeg just to make that shitpost?
why tsareena?
wasnt the point of that graphic supposed to highlight some of the biggest conversations during the poll?
i love tsareena, but it damn near never got mentioned
people tend to think that people talk about tsareena a lot more than they do I think
just in general
like memes and... that part of the fandom aside, shes a solid mon
bruxish
some people mention it alot
Nope
that just happened
If you use Photon Geyser while he's holding a specific item he'll become U-Necrozma during the battle
I think it specifically has to be Necrozma fused with Lunala or Solgaleo, then hold a crystal and it turns the move into another move that would then alter the form
holding the ultranecrozium z, then uses ultra burst
no, its just pure battle, doesn't require fusions
this is in the main games
Are we talking about main games or infinite fusion? Because in the main games, Dawn Wings Necrozma (Necrozma + Lunala) or Dusk Mane Necrozma (Necrozma + Solgaleo) holding the Ultranecrozium Z, then use Ultra Burst
i would imagine they were asking about if
we're specifically talking about IF
In that case, I’m not exactly sure how it would work
^
this is what they are trying for, there's an entire discussion thread on the subject
Thanks m8.
How are folks in here today?
Hoping for some rock wolves this weekend
Do you thinki next reveal is this weekend?
i should hope so
if we dont get something this weekend then idk
could take forever
i think we'll get something tomorrow tbh
Tomorrow?
what makes you say that
given their track record of reveals, plus I feel like its been long enough to figure out the spriter poll mon winner by now
but more than likely it'll be friday or saturday
I also think it'll be the standard saturday time window
Yeah reveals have always been on the weekend so far, wouldn't that be the track record?
Some infos I hear is that we get a reveal this week
reveals have always been Friday/Saturday
but yeah, as soon as polls closed for Spriter's poll weeks ago, they've known what it was, its just they needed to create a fun way to reveal it
They're finishing up necrozma's contest this week and then hve the raffle where they'll have the reveal next week
Oh, we’re still adding more Pokémon?
Team Granbull? When!?
2 more pokemon lines that we know of
I've made quite a few granbul sprites, though teh new pokemon ones aren't in Daena yet
I made one Granbull
I’ve made like 5??? I dunno. Comeon! TEAM GRANBULL!! I’m almost at 100 Snubbull then I’m taking a break to do other Pokémon.
Maybe I’ll finally beat the game 
Also, COME ON LUDICOLO LINE
I'm honestly pretty sad that I've seen not a single fusion sprite for Lilligant
I second this oddly enough
Granbull is already in the game
Bruh. I would hope so. Otherwise I’ve been making sprites for no reason 
Im legit not sure how to react to that honestly
I’ll clear the confusion. The “Team” I’m referring to are groups of sprite artists working together to complete a certain Pokémon’s sprites. Not “I hope this Pokemon gets in the game” this is in jest at you because I am the founder and only member of Team Snubbull, the pre-evolution to Granbull.

just greninja
Yeah alright, thanks for the explanation
I too like Rimbobee, it has a definite place on my team if I ever do a bug type mono run. I just want Lilligant more.
Greninja is definitely one of the most overrated Pokémon imo
There, i said it
Like yes i admit it's cool but i don't think it's as godly as a lot of people think
has smash artificially boosting its numbers like lucario
He's also in the vein of "just an anime character" pokemon
venipede line for if!!!
Boy do I have good news for you


we have more reveals? I thought necrozma was the last lol
Last of the community poll
I'm just saying how did sharpedo beat spheal
because sharpedo actually has an interesting design that contributes something and isn't just a round ball lol
"but but round ball cute ice type!!!1!1!11!!!"
i mean dont get me wrong, i like spheal, but what does spheal, or its evolution i can't even remember the name of, really do for the game?
more ice types
i would rather get good ice types
Jesus I was saying because it's a fan favorite you don't gotta be rude about it
nah i gotta be, im the #1 spheal hater fr
what good ice types, the list of what mons had ice typing in the poll was limited
froslass
i didn't really intend to be rude lol, i was just discussing. the fact that spheal didn't get in gets brought up a lot here lol
we're getting that
yeah so no need for more
always need more
'its ice type' is not a good reason
also we got like 6 ice types now so def not needed
tbh good ice types as a whole are hard to come by. they get the short end of the stick type advantage/disadvantage wise. fairy types kind of made them pretty useless unfortunately. they used to be "dragon killers", but fairies snatched it from em'
Our beloved bug (my fav mon) is in since months
??? so by that logic we don't need more of any other type because we have enough
they need to give ice more type advantages, make em strong against water or something
Ok spheal may not be an incredible design but I can think of plenty of cool fusions with walrein
make ice only resisted by ice just to make it even with the lack of resistance, totally a good idea trust
Why is ice nve against water it's literally the thing that freezes water
Super effective against water gives ice type a boost and knocks one of the best types in the game down a peg
Cold freezes water
Ice melts in Water
it doesnt need more help offensively its already great, its the defense that sucks
well tbf, ice melts in water only when its above freezing temp. if you put ice into water where its cold, the water becomes ice too
And honestly with the way moves are and other types are, ice type really is more like cold type, like how fire type is honestly more like hot type
I mean ofc fire represent hot stuff
Magma, fire etc
Well then if fire can represent magma why can't ice represent liquid nitrogen which freezes water
I mean who knows if they make it
why can't electric represent solar plasma which vaporizes most things on touch
Okay, fair, but I still think "cold freezes water" is a much more compelling argument than "if you put an ice cube into water it melts the ice cube"
freeze dry effect, maybe?
heat evaporates water so fire should beat water
who gets SE damage is determined by who's attack is higher than the other's defense
ah yes, dbz logic where power > everything else
If you want to be stronger, just keep screaming
I'm not talking about what can happen I'm talking about what makes more sense. Of course water beats fire because water puts out fire, everyone knows that. But it's weird to me that "water gets frozen" doesn't count while "ice cube melts if the water is hot enough" does
I just realized this is new Pokemon discussion this is not discussing new Pokemon
And I think it's my fault
meh not the first time chat goes offtopic here
Let's get back on topic
MY BABY
What do you think is the most popular Pokémon that will likely be chosen for the spriter poll)
One of those
also minior
Hope its Golisopod, wanna make a version of it that isnt weighed down by a shitty ability
He waits to be released
Everyones favourite Isopod 
i still think that araquanid is the better intimidating bug
We have 2 spiders already though
Half a spider
I'd be fine with either of these, but Goli a bit more
while lycanroc comes with the extra forms...I feel like that is all people are going to mainly sprite and the base one will get left out
Goli however we don't have to worry about that [plus its a good way to get some armor thematics into sprites; be it medieval or samurai]
I mean... Lycanroc does not exactly have a base form... it kinda has a lot going on.
it just has different forms depending on what time of day you evolve him
imagine if we get gen 6 or 7 starters
maybe in 6 months from now, they have soft confirmed that they were gonna include them, since they know people want them
Elektross
Unpopular opinion, Alomomola
Another ice and another fighting type? I'm so down for this
give us more of the fighting type plz, and we get another ice for those who want the ice type
Hi
BASED
I feel like if Greninja was added, a lot of really cool ninja-related fusions would happen.
see also: accelgor
we've altered trade evos before but then again we've also had people argue in favor of bringing in lone parts of counterpart lines
that is so fire holy hell
I reeeally love that! :0
It's so funny that these are each other's inverse
lycanroc line is definitely one
for sure.
i'd personally love to see my boy golisopod as well
well. All we really know is that the people handling it aren't happy about it
When we learn that?
I wonder which Mon could actually make the staff unhappy
Could be something that's annoying to implement
The 'mon in the sprite poll may be an unpopular pick or maybe has something that is difficult to implement
Me I make the staff unhappy
Eyyy
Heyo.
I think one that could make them unhappy would be like maybe... Monkeys is the obvious, but I think maybe castform would be a bit more work to implement
i can't really think of anything super difficult to impliment outside lyranroc forms
that isn't legendary anyway, but those got nixed for the spriter poll...so its probably something unpopular
7 more chimchars
I hope we get the Whismur line
ew whismur fusions 
Whismur yah, whismur fusions.....
just mouths as far as the eye can see lol
like that's any worse than some of the stuff we already have for fusion sprites
yo i has question
does anyone know if we'll be able to see the U-Necrozma forms during fusions along side the normal Necrozma fusion
that no
because otherwise that sounds like a pain to check in game
you can have necrozma/necrozma or u necrozma/u necrozma...but not u necrozma/necrozma
not what i was asking lol
and that's because of how u necrozma works which is, according to the discussion [that I keep losing track of]
U Necrozma is a battle state (or how they are planning to program it)
i.e., equip necrozma with item, use specific move, becomes u necrozma
oh i see
ok i get what you mean
only if you are in double/triple battle [or 2v2/3v3 mode on], have more than 1 necrozma [either via the shedinja dupe or fusion breeding] and each necrozma is fused to a different mon
please delete that, some may find it offensive
i meant when we fuse Necrozma will there be the U-Necrozma version of the fusion next to it or something for easier viewing
no
that's not funny
it wasn't meant to be funny, but that picture can be seen as offensive
orb and girl actually*
aren't lycanrock forms just different evolution triggers?
yes, but we don't know how they would be implimented for IF
thus why I figured that was the only outlier of difficulty for implimentation
Castform? 
everything else is pretty straight forward being lvl or stone usgae
We don,t have day/night evo right now, but we have modified evo requierement, doesn't seem too complicated if you change it a bit
I assume the code for weather effects exists somewhere
could just be dusk or dawn stone
probably the same way they did Espeon and Umbreon
the code for changing form visually in combat doesn't exist though
ok that solves 2 forms
it will probably be implemented for ultra nec
it will
They probably wanted to avoid using a dusk or dawn stone evo for lycanrock
that's my guess for most complicated feature missing for some pokemon to exist as is
based frogman
so its either lycanroc forms, or castform for implimenation difficulty
wishiwashi is also a form changer
but they already implemented forms
outside of combat only for oricorio
And adding in time of day lycanrock evos would possibly mean that Espeon and Umbreon would have their evo requirements changes, maybe?
literally Necrozma and U-Necrozma for in battle
and Oricorio for outside battle
I would imagine if the code isn't too much of a spaghetified mess, adding a "is daytime" check when trying to evolve to decide which form to pick wouldn't be too complicated to implement
they do have that check probably
because of the black market
Another guess for some implementation difficulties could be that the Pokémon is Minior? For it's different color forms?
From the polls, it looked like only Rockruff and it's midday evolution was being added, midnight's sprite wasn't in the poll/didn't take up a third slot. I think it was implied people would just freely use either in the base fusions. Least that's what I assumed.
do you think we will get support for actual aegislash form switch in battle lol
i've seen spaghetti mess code before...trust me, you'd be surprised
source - I play LoL
doubt, to far in
yeah i feel like Aegislash we could leave as is
I'm an actual game dev, though I'm art side. I know how hard adding features after the fact if they weren't planned for can be even for stuff you'd think should be easy lol
the only form change for something in game already that would be interesting is Giratina
devil noodle
The only other guess that I have for the spriter's vote Pokémon that upsetted the staff could be a "difficult to moderate sprites of" Pokémon?
hopefully we can tho
so the possibilities are: something difficult to impliment, something possibly problematic in terms of sprites, and something that is wildly unpopular
the biggest problem children of sprites would likely be Tsareena, Florges and Salazzle
I imagine it can also be a "i wanted my vote in" as one
unless its a universal "godammit" by all the mods
Out of all of those, salazzle is the one that I fear if it gets in
tsareena scares me
i think the "god dammit" would maybe fall under unpopular
Salazzle is at least cool design wise
ah also forgot Vespiqueen in the lineup
Salazzle could make some snazzy fusions, so long as spriters don't lean too heavily into the "zomg reverse harem sexy lizard kek" angle
i mean there is a diff between "I wanted Lycanroc" and "Bruxish, really guys?"
The internet made me not like salazzle even more
lol
I mean they could just go "yeah here's the sprite poll winner, and also an extra bonus because you guys are weird"
I heard they thought it was possibly r2 concerning. so it could be salazzle
Tsareena and Salazzle are gonna get in eventually and open the floodgates anew, better to just rip that band-aid off IMO.
we have Lopunny already
my thoughts exactly
And? You think that will stop the spriters?
band-aid has been ripped for a while
it will cause there were already some spriters that i think got a smack for making some lopunny fusions that were edge rule 2 breaks
Inside each of us, there are two wolves. One is Batman, the other is Joker.
Patrat.
i think I have a few more wolves then...neither batman or joker seem like the type to play video games for as long as I have
|| The only idea that I have if tsareena gets in is fusing it with Mareanie to make a spikey boots fusion ||
Tsareena is basic flower person fusion wise
||With these spiky cleats, anything is possible!||
Tsareena has plenty of elements to her design that could feed fusion concepts. Royalty/Kickboxing/Tropical fruit/Big boots
literally would never make a fusion for her unless its for a contest specifically for just her and not her pre evo's
|| serving a queen, basically? ||
Could see someone making a joke Tsareena fusion with a Fire mon, and the sprite is just that one girl from Scarlet/Violet with the stupidly oversized boots
sure inspiration wise yea, but realistically it'll all probably just be ||dom flower mommy||
Tsareena/Roserade can and will have a whip
Yes, this one
We all know that the inevitable Tsareena/Gardevoir fusion would happen if Tsareena gets in
Okay to be fair, EVERY mon has an inevitable Gardevoir fusion
lmao
Even with machamp?
Those madlads found a way to make Cofagrigus/Gardevoir mildly attractive
especially with machamp 
I wonder with every future update after this one will sneak in a few surprise mons or will it be in batches like this every 6 months/1 year or so?
There is no limit to the power spriters have
and yet gardevoir currently only has 216/420 head fusions and 363/420 body fusions
youd think she's be one of the first to be maxed out lol
yea surprisingly it was beedrill that was first
Imagine my shock to discover that Volcarona, of all mons, has head fusions maxed out
volcarona is cool
I remember the Clefable/Beedrill debate
what debate
like who should be the first to get maxed out
But yeah, my point stands.
If there is a way to make a hot cool-looking Gardevoir Body fusion with any given mon, the spriters WILL find it.
and apparently the spriters havent cuase gardevoir isnt maxed out yet some how lol
The same thing would happen if tsareena gets in I think
Some mons just don't work with Gard's body type 🤷♂️
vs
was the race
at least i got to help fill in one of the empty slots with dialga body lol
If there is a will; there is a way 
I admit I AM tempted to go on a sprite-request spree of all the Gard-body combos that don't exist yet, purely to see it fill out
i might help
if i have the time of course
It's mostly unevolved mons, granted. Or ugly ones, or ones that people forget exist
meh
they dont need to be bangers or anything
just something to help fill the slots
Somebody should start with geodude first
if we are gonna attempt it, we should wait for the next sprite pack to come out so we have a better understanding of which slots need to be filled
ok yeah im looking at the slots that currently need to be filled and some of these look hard lol
like shellder
what the hell do you do with shellder
how do you make that work lol
Make the shelder one being introverted? Hiding in it's shell
I could see Gard's green head-fringe thing being redesigned into Shellder's... shell.
So like a toothed shell?
Well. Kinda like one of those hair clips
Where the green middle bit opens up like sharp jaws.
Possibly, but I just mean replacing the green hair-not-hair on Gard's head with Shellder's shell. Black out the interior, have protruding tongue
Dress can be easily redesigned for that.
That's a big reason why Gardevoir is such a popular Body mon, aside from the obvious 👀 reason. Its design is incredibly easy and versatile to work with.
yeah ive noticed that
its pretty easy to use
I'm seeing the list and I think the body ones should have sprites for:
- electabuzz
- sunkurn
- mime jr.
- drifloon
Such a shame that stat-wise, Gardevoir sucks as a body mon
see also: aggron and leafeon as a head mons
yknow what
if gardevoir/electrode can work i dont see why a lot of these cant work
ike just give the mon gardevoir hair and some details and boom new fusion
Electrode works as a body for one very simple reason:
ball
ORB
Ball. Ball is funny.
(realisticly speaking though, electrode is actually kinda decent for a body because of the 150 speed stat)
Kyogre/Electrode drizzle thunder strats works wonders
It's like how Ditto fused with anything is just the second mon, but pink and slimy.
Except the "turn literally any mon into a ball" joke is much funnier
ball
holy hand grenade
Crazy how froslass is the only gen 4 mon that got added so far
really?
