alternatively they do the raffle and then give frogman the week to add it while we sit in silence.

coral solar
#

Ya know what I want?

#

For them to add in Audino.
And add in a rematchable trainer who uses all Audinos.

PURELY for easy EXP grinding

inland jewel
#

Frogman will make sure its not on any rematchable trainer

fallen loom
#

where is this animation from?

white meadow
orchid vault
#

why not a blissey audino fusion XD

full ether
#

I am cool with whatever is added now since I got Goodra I am content

clever atlas
#

I got lycanroc tho

smoky fractal
#

me just hoping Zygarde makes the cut

#

Necrozma, Zygarde, Lycanroc, and Goodra were my hopes. 3/4 aint bad, but imagine the 4/4

limber niche
#

Unsure yet. A fair amount of new mons won't actually have new sprites at update. Hell, Lycanroc won't have custom sprites until the December pack since it was only announced this month unless they do a weird Lycanroc sprite pack to get some in sooner

clever atlas
#

Who doesn't tbf

smoky fractal
#

so wait how do i get the new pokemon?

limber niche
smoky fractal
#

I got a random shiny rayquaza that I would rather not lose

#

wish there was a way to see what the sprites would look like for different shiny variants

orchid vault
#

you can keep your saves as usual, you just won't have met the new pokemon in the ealy game areas (assuming there are some) like you might have on a new run

hollow quest
cedar merlin
#

i hope the raffle winner picks something absurd. i'd love to see everyone freak out over luvdisc lmao

smoky fractal
#

what if you were on a randomizer? do you re-randomize to get the new ones in certain routes?

cedar merlin
#

that'd probably be a frogman question tbh. depends on hwo the randomizer works. you could probably visit the debugger dude in the center and re-randomizing would probably include the new pokemon?

smoky fractal
#

although I certainly would need to catch more arceus, deoxys, rayquaza, etc. then

smoky fractal
orchid flare
#

So any ideas for a good Froslass fusion?

oak ravine
restive arrow
#

jirachi maybe

frozen oracle
#

Porygon Z is always fun

orchid flare
#

See the problem is it's hard to deal with all the weaknesses ice types have
Best I've been able to get it down to is 3 super effective types

frozen oracle
#

Chandelure would give you a ghost ice with flash fire

cedar merlin
#

don't gotta worry about the weaknesses if oyu pair it with another glass canon and it kills everything in one shot heehee

restive arrow
#

what was the fastest ice type in IF before froslass got added again? because maybe you can kill two birds with one stone and get rid of secondary ghost typing for mono ice and speed control

raw bison
#

...Weavile, maybe?

cobalt nebula
full ether
cobalt nebula
#

I persevered weeks of regi haters.

coral solar
restive arrow
#

idk how but I always forget about weavile

#

what the introduction of chien pao into gen 9 does to a mf (i have forgotten the panic that weavile caused my ground-spam teams in gen 8)

frozen oracle
#

Fuse froslass with yanmega speed boost and make it the fastest ice type

coral solar
#

Or you could fuse Weavile with Blaziken Speed Boost for the faster fastest Ice type

cedar merlin
tame flax
#

There's a lot of popular mons I'm surprised didn't get in

coral solar
#

And so many people acting like this is the only time new mons will ever be getting added to the game ever

tame flax
#

I'm not sure if it's been officially said that there will be another poll

raw bison
#

Eh there's no telling if/when it'll ever happen again

cobalt nebula
#

If there was a chance for more to get in, it’s probably just be a starter poll

#

That’s my guess

coral solar
#

IMO that's like saying "They haven't officially stated if/when/where the next Olympic Games will take place so there probably won't be one"

weak trellis
#

purug has a hard enough time making it into vanilla pokemon rofl

cedar merlin
#

i thought they said this was the absolute max they could put in? or did they change that stance?

cobalt nebula
coral solar
raw bison
#

Except the Olympic games have a tradition and set schedule

cedar merlin
# coral solar Where tf did you hear that

I just though that's what they said prior to adding these, but I could be wrong lol. I was always told it was a spacing issue with the program they built the game on

raw bison
#

This was the first time after years of "there will not be new pokemon so don't ask"

cedar merlin
coral solar
raw bison
#

I don't think it's expected that this is the last one, but we have no idea when or how any more will be added

coral solar
#

I imagine there likely won't be another New Mons event for at least another year, but I'd be shocked and apalled if this were the last one

finite thistle
#

The lack of the Nebby line to go with Necrozma is definitely the part that annoys me the most

coral solar
#

Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard repeatedly that they've already said that they're gonna add in the remaining starters at some point since they won the initial polls by a landslide, but didn't want 90% of the new mons getting added in this update to be just starters

cedar merlin
#

Honestly I'd be pretty happy with the game even if it's the last time we get a new set of mons. It's a free game with already a few hundred thousand different lil dudes to play around with. You could probably play the game a few thousand times and have a completely unique team each time lol

#

obviously new pkmn are fun, but I'm defintiely more than happy with the game in its current state already

tame flax
#

Man, I'd hate to have voted under the assumption there'd be more and learn that there's a good chance there might not be

finite thistle
#

I am pretty excited for Aurorus and Toxapex

raw bison
#

But without any Word of Frog we can only guess, and of course people who's favorites didn't get in are antsy. A lack of certainty isn't the same thing as a certainty of lack, but with nothing to work with there's no good way to guess

cedar merlin
#

i wonder if any of the new mons will be added to the gyms leader's teams? Thonking

raw bison
#

Unrelated but I was busy this weekend so I didn't get to see the doggo till today, but good doggo. Glad we got the two base forms

finite thistle
#

No Guard on a Rock type is pretty cool, especially with how bad the Rock type coverage is in this game

lofty spindle
white meadow
#

also the fact that almost no rock moves have 100% accuracy

coral solar
#

I want to meet whoever at GameFreak decided that every single Rock attack should have <90 accuracy, so I can slap them

cinder oasis
finite thistle
#

Though, not getting Dusk does mean that if anyone wants Tough Claws the only option is the Barnicles lol

cedar merlin
#

you could say rock moves have a pretty rocky chance of hitting

lofty spindle
#

It is the will of the people.

It is Frog's game, but I do think we should be given a reason at the very least.

coral solar
#

Oh wait, Power Gem exists guys.

You know, Power Gem. That one Special Rock attack.

On a type where there isn't a single mon with above 60 Sp.A

lofty spindle
white meadow
#

i mean offensively it is technically the best since it's the only one that has more types weak to it than resist

lofty spindle
#

And hey, speaking of Move Expert, at least Fairy/Rock and Steel/Rock get to use Diamond Storm.

coral solar
#

Rock is newly famous for being one of only two types that would be supereffective against Arceus if Arceus were actually every type

white meadow
#

damn it you reminded me that diancie didn't make it Despair

coral solar
#

The other type is Fairy. Because of course it is.

lofty spindle
#

Also it's news to me that Fairy would be super effective.

white meadow
frozen oracle
#

I think it's neutral

white meadow
#

ye that's what im saying, fairy does not have more se hits than resists

clever atlas
finite thistle
white meadow
#

hey diancie has 100!

finite thistle
#

And that's in its non-mega form, the girl is a menace

coral solar
finite thistle
#

Though, I do find it funny that you're still usually using Diamond Storm because even if it's reliable, Power Gem isn't the highest base power

#

Even though Diamond Storm is physical

cedar merlin
#

i think rock types definitely suffer from being an og type + not being very popular, so a lot of their older moves just... haven't been revamped or given much love lol

white meadow
#

which is can be good against special walls like chansey

#

and diancie has equal offensive stats

finite thistle
#

That's fair, it just makes the mon pretty tricky to build since you value pretty much every stat

frozen oracle
#

Power gem used to be a cosmetic based move when it was introduced

white meadow
#

too bad the loss of her mega kinda destroyed her viability

cedar merlin
#

rock types are to types as flareon is to the rest of the eeveelutions lmao. Opportunity to be great, but gets very little love from gamefreak

coral solar
lofty spindle
#

Oh speaking of Rock-types, I once had an idea for a Rock-type move.

white meadow
coral solar
#

That is exactly how resistances work

#

An Electric/Flying type is immune to Ground despite being part electric

cinder oasis
clever atlas
white meadow
#

bro what does that have to do with fairy

lofty spindle
#

I call it "Rock Biters", referencing that many Rock-types are lithovore rock eaters.
"The user crushes the target between rock-hard teeth, sometimes lowering its defense."

80 base strength, contact move, physical, 100 accuracy.

frozen oracle
#

Still wild that bug was the worst offensive type in gen 5 and they decide to make it worse in gen 6

white meadow
#

a steel poison type doesn't lose it's poison resistances because it's immune to it's own type

lofty spindle
finite thistle
#

I will never understand why Pokemon was so stingy with Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher

lofty spindle
#

Mega launcher gets plenty nice support.

white meadow
#

2 whole pokemon, one of which is a mega

clever atlas
frozen oracle
#

Mega launcher only works on 6 moves

finite thistle
#

Like, it took us until gen 8 to get a Pokemon with 2 stabs for Strong Jaw and we still don't have something like that for Mega Launcher

clever atlas

frozen oracle
#

Iron first is like the lowest percentage for boosting abilities

cinder oasis
finite thistle
#

That's a good point, Iron Fist has been around for ages and its always been pretty meh

#

So meh, that they turned it into an item that you can't even stack lol

frozen oracle
#

Sharpness gets 50 percent on moves at 90 bp

#

Majority punching moves are 75

pure flower
frozen oracle
#

Rip HA infernape

hidden carbon
#

Contrary infernape when

coral solar
#

Why is Infernape's HA Iron Fist again?

Did Sun Wukong famously like to punch people?

cinder oasis
#

They should give lanturn Tail glow and Regenerator

#

A lot of the older pokemon need buffs in general cus they're way too weak compared to newer ones that have up to 100 higher bst than them

hidden carbon
#

Would be nice if close combat at least counted for iron fist considering even meteor mash does

frozen oracle
#

Things like staraptor and arcanine learn close combat so maybe they don't consider it just punching

fresh owl
frozen oracle
#

Also barraskewda

coral solar
#

Close Combat is described as "An all-out assault at close range without guarding itself".
So by definition it does not require punching to be involved, it just so happens that most mons that learn the move attack by punching

frozen oracle
#

I think the worst starter HA is blastoise rain dish or swamperts damp

hushed mantle
#

Meganium’s leaf guard

frozen oracle
#

I stand corrected

lofty spindle
#

Meganium moment.

copper furnace
#

so i don't remember/know, are the new pokemon actually in the game rn? like, the version you get now when downloading it

cedar merlin
#

no, should be next weekend

copper furnace
#

so next weekend would be a possible game update?

cedar merlin
#

or maybe this weekend? next is kind of subjective. like, if i say next tuesday, that could be tomorrow OR next week, right? Thonking

copper furnace
#

'cause i've been sorting out the sprites for the pokemon which is taking a while and i've just been dropping the new pokemon sprites into a different folder

cinder oasis
cedar merlin
stone cliff
#

According to the announcement, it should be this weekend

sand mica
lofty spindle
#

Hm... thinking about my Primape/Scolipede moveset... is there a way for it to obtain Aqua Tail, since it is normally gained via move tutor.

frozen oracle
#

Maybe a move tutor... it definitely had it in gen 7

#

Scolipede is going to be fun fusions
I feel like it and gyarados will go well together

lofty spindle
frozen oracle
#

In the sevii island there should be

lofty spindle
#

If there is then I cannot find it on the wiki.

#

Well, here are my current thoughts before I head to bed.

quaint grotto
#

if dusk isnt gonna make it, then midday's hidden ability should be tough claws instead of steadfast

alpine rune
#

Bro bout to create the ice age

lofty spindle
#

Screamed so hard that the concept of heat fled.

#

And then he causes a Heat Wave.

alpine rune
#

Screamed so hard the mcdonalds ice cream machine worked again

lofty spindle
#

So this is why they kept it out of order, it was too powerful.

#

And yeah, moves with two options are unconfirmed to be supported next version.

#

Also "Spectral Arrow" is supposed to be Spirit Shackle.

radiant briar
#

Will all the sprites posted in gallery this week be added to the update this weekend?

stone cliff
radiant briar
fresh salmon
#

Dusk form:

#

I mean I get dusk and midday fusions would be too similar

wanton coral
#

So we aren't getting the only version that would introduce a new ability?????

#

How cringe

tranquil path
#

i mean it wasnt in the lycanrock part of the poll so its unfair to expect it if it wasnt there

fresh salmon
#

Lycanroc is definitively a great addition

#

Just that if all 3 forms couldn't make it in I wish dusk replaced mid day because of tough claws and a brighter colour palette

#

Though I get mid day is like the standard Lycanroc form

winter folio
#

I have a question about the future update it's "only" new pokemon added that you can find in the grass or is there new content in the story with news zones, trainers and events?

tranquil path
#

i dont think they said anything about where they will be found that im aware of

stone cliff
#

We're definitely going to get events or something for the legendaries, but in terms of story or quests we have no idea

stone cliff
tranquil path
#

UNOWN HAS MUMMY WHAT

stone cliff
tranquil path
#

see i avoided unown like the plague so thats new to me. baller

stone cliff
#

I can also see dusk form being an alt sprite for midday, and for fusions to use dusk's color scheme

tranquil path
#

100% someones gonna make an alt sprite

stone cliff
#

I can't wait to see the raffle winner raffle some feathers heehee

#

Cuz you know that no matter what it is, it's gonna get hate for being the last one

tranquil path
#

ill proably be fine with whatever they choose as long as it isnt like furfrou

cinder oasis
#

It's literally the worst pokemon of all time

mystic rivet
#

I'll be doing a randomizer still, but I might just swap sableye's other half whenever it faints, or I get another one of the added 45.

winter folio
mystic rivet
#

It'd be cool if all the added pokemon were static encounters so I could do a randomizer, but still have them locked in place and easy to find.

tranquil path
#

my guess itll be a sprinkle of a bit of everything: static, added to existing routes, maybe a radar encounter

mystic rivet
#

I only know where to find trubbish and sandyghast

white meadow
#

I personally don't like it

mystic rivet
#

But those are the pokemon the spriters have to be the most creative with.

loud sorrel
# alpine rune

NO BRUXISH
unless youre planning on getting every mon from gens 1-7 in game i dont want bruxish

stone cliff
loud sorrel
#

i hope they dont add oranguru and passimian
theyre such nothing filler pokemon
would not miss them

#

carbink line you can ditch
diancie basically outclasses it

deep grotto
#

none of the pokemon I voted for have been added yet ;0;

loud sorrel
#

there are some random normal type mammals that rent really necessary to the game, it be fine to leave those out

loud sorrel
deep grotto
#

Tsareena was my number one pick. plus a bunch of others from the sun/moon era.

#

oop, I take that back, the sand castle is in

loud sorrel
#

yeah gen 7 has a lot of cool pokemon aside from bruxish lol

deep grotto
#

no argument there, bruxish is wretched.

loud sorrel
#

i was personally hoping for lurantis and some ultra beasts but i doubt itll happen

deep grotto
#

saaame

#

lurantis looks amazing and has some real neat moves/skills.

loud sorrel
#

yeah
still holding out a bit of hope for it
but ultimately ill be at least a little happy for any pokemon that gets in

white meadow
#

have you seen the lobster with the giant claw? I wanted that mon in

#

also Dewpider because it's cute

loud sorrel
stone cliff
#

Clawitzer is one that I'm surprised didn't get in

tranquil path
#

pure water has a lot of competition so its ability and move pool are really the big draws to it outside of visuals

stone cliff
#

Someone was saying that origin pulse would work with its ability

cinder oasis
stone cliff
high haven
#

That's the one guy I thought was definitely getting in

bleak leaf
#

Oh boy. Deoxys + Necrozma is going to be amazing

hollow creek
#

we have one cactus we dont need the other

ebon glacier
bleak leaf
#

Deoxy's body could be lighter tone to reflect its form now being pure light energy

#

Which also happened to these two in the main game.

ebon glacier
#

NANI interesting!

#

I'll start sketching then 🎨

#

which deoxys form? Thonking

#

maybe attack form

bleak leaf
#

The formes would absolutely affect the placement and shape of the armor too. Maybe Defense Forme would have the bulky Necrozma arms and claws. Similar to how bulky looking Defense Deoxys is

prime dust
#

hnm

#

i feel like speed form + necrozma could make a good Xlr8

ebon glacier
#

what's xlr8?

prime dust
#

Ben 10 alien

ebon glacier
#

there's a lot of ben 10 alien

#

someone prob made xlr8 already :p

prime dust
ebon glacier
#

that's a lizard :p

#

salazzale + deoxy maybe

bleak leaf
#

The orb in the jaw piece is a solid idea

ebon glacier
#

jaw piece?

bleak leaf
ebon glacier
#

the chest?

#

yeah, that circle thing is the orb

bleak leaf
#

Yeah Necrozma's chest in its prism form is the jaw/upper mouth of its Ultra Form

junior blaze
#

Not having all the Lycanrocs is a little dissapointing

#

But like bro could have chosen Bruxish to mess with us we're in a good timeline

bleak leaf
#

Yeah the new additions to the roster are insane. Going to be some amazing fusions

#

Super Happy the Regi Trio got in the door

fair jewel
#

It just takes a troll to win

junior blaze
#

Wait the contest one didn't happen yet

#

I thought the spriter thing WAS the contest

stone cliff
#

The Raffle is the contest winner one

junior blaze
#

Wait so is the disco guy the contest winner or was he spriter's choice

#

Ok I checked Rockruff was spriter's choice but was that their vote or no

prime dust
#

discoblob was the trev rush winner

#

they got thrown into the winner's raffle which hasn't been held yet

shy harbor
#

Are these Pokémon added in an update or are they just being announced?

junior blaze
#

Added on Saturday I think

shy harbor
#

What’s already been added?

again, check the announcements

How long have we been getting reveals for the expanded dex like 4 months now

I’m not talking about rockruff, I saw that I’m talking about mostly necrozma

#

none of it has been added in yet

prime dust
#

that is accurate...give or take

I mean November hasn't really happened yet it's only been 3 full months

Someone said they dislike furfrou I am voting furfrou 3 next time

limber niche
#

I think I'm the only person who genuinely voted high for Furfrou lmao

silent acorn
#

I mean

limber niche
#

Yeah it's just a dog but it's gimmick is it's hairstyles which I think would be fun to sprite Despair

silent acorn
#

I had other stuff... Had to sabotage competition somehow. But I think out of the dogs is solid. Anything is more solid than. Mannectric. It has a good ability

#

I repeat me no likey Electric dog

tame flax
#

That was uncalled for

silent acorn
#

If they are a ghost I can pet em, evil I can give them a treat, fairy I'll get cursed but it's worth it. Electric and fire ouch my hand

#

Seriously though, I really hate the stuff they make for electric dogs

tame flax
#

I'm pretty sure you mixed up some of those types

silent acorn
#

Ghost can become tangible maybe
Fairies are mischievous
Dark they are just grumpy.

Only if you give them negative energy

tame flax
#

Ghosts literally curse things

silent acorn
#

I prefer ghosts anyway, it's sweet how they'll hang around you even dead

tame flax
#

Greavard literally sucks the life out of you

silent acorn
#

What did I need the life for without dogs anyway?

tame flax
#

Other dogs

silent acorn
#

But you know it's dumb cuz many pokemon have things that kill you and yet they dont

tame flax
#

Like slurpuff and manectric

silent acorn
#

Slurpuff, leave manectric in the doghouse

boreal crypt
#

I'm just holding on hope for serperior line to be added.

junior blaze
#

Excited to see all the sandcastles people make with palossand

silent acorn
#

Seriously almost anything works for dogs except for electric I don't know why

tame flax
#

Might just be you

silent acorn
#

Like electric I tend to image felines not dogs

By the way I don't know if it counts but raikou is the only one of those and I don't know if it counts as a cat or what

tame flax
#

Seems like a you thing

iron quartz
#

The update drops next weekend?

tame flax
#

Given the size of his fangs, I'd call him a feline

iron quartz
#

I THOUGHT IT DROPS IN MAYBE LIKE DECEMBER OR JANUARY

silent acorn
#

Nope next week

I wonder how long did this even take

high haven
silent acorn
#

About a month and 3 weeks

tame flax
#

3 months and some change

high haven
#

This all started at the beginning of august

silent acorn
tame flax
#

That's just gen 8 being gen 8

high haven
#

They should have made a wolf in London pokemon for galar

silent acorn
#

Like you ain't gonna get to add the European wolf unless you use the Germany or italian area anymore

tame flax
#

We got some bangers as soon as they removed the bri'ish

silent acorn
#

Bri'ish theme can suck it. Only the fairytale were worth it. UFOs and radiators too

high haven
#

I was just typing out something for orbeetle

silent acorn
#

Hell legends are the most basic ones shame they are wolves

I can read minds gage

tame flax
#

Like I said, as soon as the British guy on the team was gone we got some bangers

silent acorn
high haven
#

Orbeetle is unironically the best route 1 bug type pokemon so far in my opinion

tame flax
#

He left game freak after gen 8

silent acorn
tame flax
#

That's why they steal everyone else's stuff to put into their museums

silent acorn
#

Funny we got not so many museum stuffs in the bri'ish region.

Like the legends are legends they are prophecies yadeee yadaaaa I played black I know what a true legend foreshadowing is.

Like the second gym you see the special orb being called meaningless it's hilarious

tame flax

Pffft

Of course they wouldn't, it'd make the bri'ish look bad

silent acorn
high haven
#

I don't really like the Gen 8 starters

silent acorn

But Seriously people wanna complain about lacking originality just look at Zacian and Zamazenta and tell me those are good

#

Like goddamn Reshiram and Zekrom look more like a duo, those doggos are so bad dude

high haven
#

Because black & white

silent acorn
#

No wonder they reverted back to time stuff for gen 9

#

Next Gen I want magic and might honestly, those are more opposing. Or brawn and brain.

tame flax
#

say what you want about the bugs and glitches

silent acorn
#

Bugs rock

Glitches are just a guy playing with his hardware too much

tame flax

theres some peak designs in gen 9

Hell yes

YESSSS I love it.

high haven
#

Lokix, Tinkaton, the past paradox mons, Iron Valiant, the starters, hell Valuza looks really cool with it taking itself apart like that

silent acorn

Granted Galar unfortunately keeps one of the better regional birds

tame flax
#

that, and depending on how you look at him, someone will always be triggered

What does next weekend mean btw

#

does it mean this week or next week

warm prism

The weekend that is next to arrive

#

Saturday/Sunday so in about a work week

theyre pretty social

i do wish meow was a special attacker tho, havent had a dedicated special attacking grass type starter, without a hidden ability, since gen 3

#

And when they became a crocodile with a baby bird that doubles as a rocket on its snoot she became my top favorite starter

i meant starter, but that too

I think the spicy twins are nice tho

Sawsbuck is just a freaking gem aesthetically and gameplay is fun.

I kinda wish arboliva just get grassy surge instead of seed sower

Something thats not Monkey for once as a grass setter

I don't really like Arbolivia. Though it wasn't a nuzlocke, they did cause my Naclstack to faint in a big battle

Imagine gigawattato is just a bunch of the potato pokemon attached like a freaking mecha

And they all just say tato tato tato as they attack

Honestly kinda surprised there isn't a potato Mon yet

#

Although I feel like if there was an official one it would be Grass/Ground

I think the dragon fruit pokemon is way more off. That one would be not dragon exactly

More like... Maybe.... Rock or steel

For the simple fact you get them from cactus

Actually how would you type that one?

We got apples out of that way what fruits can they mess around with?

It's cute, but with how many sprites are needed for a single mon, having spots that dont bring anything to the table...

isnt there one more mon? like there was a spriter poll, but wasnt there a raffle too?

pure flower

Yes

#

I believe what's chosen in the raffle will probably be put into a random choice selection thing

prime dust
#

?

pure flower
#

at least that's what the wording came off as

prime dust
#

i mean the winner of the raffle will be random, but the mon they choose won't be; from what i've heard second hand; winner's make a list of mons

they have their "top pick" which is "this is the thing I would want in, no questions asked", and then they also pick back ups just in case the mon they had in their top slot is revealed via the community poll, or as a bonus

pure flower
#

aa I see

prime dust
#

i assume that for the earlier winners that'd be more problematic because who knows how far down that list they had to go...or if they had to make a new one because everything they wanted got in

#

but Disco and Xeno have the advantage in that only 1 mon got revealed

its not set in stone that no more will be added after this

thanks to how the game now sees fusions; we technically have room for like a lot more generations of mons

the main factor in getting more is time

clever atlas
#

Honestly im surprised there's been little to no vikavolt support

prime dust
#

the only mons that have a higher chance of getting added in are the Gen 5, 6 and 7 starters

#

we made it abundantly clear we wanted them

Good to know theres a chance for espurr to still make it lol

lofty spindle

clever atlas
prime dust
#

well without them posting the poll results, we'll never know [and Hypnotoad only did that partially once to let us know the starters got dq'ed]

pure flower
#

Yup. Dq'd with a possibility of them being added in the future

#

I'd imagine after the raffle pokemon, the starters would probably all be added next

clever atlas
#

Maybe frog Will just pick a set to add now and the other 2 will come later

pure flower
#

That'd probably cause more friction then it'd be to add all of them as a group in a few months time

#

Having contests for each set of starters leading up to their release

prime dust
#

^

#

with Gen 6 leading the charge in that regard since they had the highest vote of the starters

pure flower
#

So. Unova Starter Contest: about two weeks, giving people chances to do fusions for the Unova starters.

Then Kalos Starter contest, 2 weeks. Then Alola Starter Contest

#

Doing it in order of generations is thematically more interesting, at least to me.

prime dust
#

eh...I'd rather they add them in order of popularity than generation

#

long as there is like a 3-4 month gap inbetween them being added

pure flower
#

Well. In truth it doesn't matter who goes first

#

Since they all arrive at the same time. For all we know, the Alola group will go first

prime dust
#

also contests usually only last 1 week tops [barring rush events]

pure flower
#

Actually. It could be instead be based on the typings

#

Though. Grass starters would probably be a bit more popular thanks to Decidueye and Serperior

#

.. speaking of snake pokemon. Something I been mildly unhappy about. Just turning humanoid fusions with Arbok into humanoids with snake lower halves instead of adapting the tail and head into the design

pure flower
#

So. Random thought. Would Lurantis take in nutrients from prey slain via the scythes or does it have a hidden mouth

remote crest
#

it definetly has a mouth!

tame flax
#

I'd like the alolan set first, theyre the coolest available set

So the only mon they could have gotten wrong at the time is Lycanroc

i mean a lot of new mons won't have fusion sprites

at least not custom ones anyway...no idea on auto-gen stuff since i think they are trying to move away from that

Well everything we got in October wont have sprites
Except they upload every new mon sprite we got until thr update

Anyone got something they can point towards on this?

Because every new pack requires a new download. Preloaded doesnt have that issue. The file just gets bigger on its own

There's loads of sprites for the new mon already in your custombattlers folder if you have the most recent packs. They just can't be sorted until the base pokemon are in the game.

Now that data limitations aren't that strict, I wonder what cat Pokemon we will get first. Skitty, Glameow, Purrloin, or Espurr?

we don't need more

that is a meme in of itself and it is perfect the way it is

meowth/persian is the only one we need out of that list

loud sorrel

i just know thered be a ton of garfield memes if another cat got in
probably with purrugly

#

Skitty doesn't need Wailord.

Purrloin would probably be too boring but Espurr is pretty cool. I don't like it being 2D though.

Normalize would be cool to play around with. Make some super optimal bombs

What are the odds we get evolutions to existing pokemon like ursaluna, annihilape or kingambit?

literally impossible

heehee all the alternate terrain setters are after gen 7 so just the tapus and those are probably very late game

no pinchurchin gaming

hollow grove

gow many of the 20 do we have left?

cedar fjord
#

none, we have all the 20 revealed

#

full list of vote picks and bonus picks are in the pins

hollow grove
#

but i do think we have some missing

#

like we jumped from 450 to 463

cedar fjord
#

That's just because Necrozma was in the works before a lot of the bonus mons

#

check the pins, we have all the numbers from 421-465 accounted for

hollow grove
#

4 more and than we get to funny number

cedar fjord
#

I think the Trevanent Rush raffle winner is the only thing we possibly have left if that was different from the spriters choice?

quiet meteor
#

Is dusk form planned at some point or is it not included since it’s a form? For lycanroc*

cedar fjord
#

Its being excluded because it would be almost impossible to differentiate from Midday in fusions

hollow grove
frozen oracle
#

Dusk form is pretty much a fusion of midday and midnight

hollow grove
frozen oracle
#

No like in general

cedar fjord
#

It would be nice to give Midday Tough Claws instead of Keen Eue

frozen oracle
#

Does anything have tough claws in the game yet?

cedar fjord
#

It has Gen 7 data so its in there

#

I dont think we have Barbaracle though which is the only other non-Mega Gen 6/7 mon with it

frozen oracle
#

So every gen 7 ability is programmed in the game

quiet meteor
frozen oracle
#

So minior would be that hard to add

finite thistle
#

We have Aegislash, so Minior ain't that much harder

Now we just need wishiwashi for even more form change shenanigans

Man isn't even allowed to Nuzzle me, it's so sad

inland jewel
# frozen oracle In what sense?

long story short, when Frogman was working on the game, he modified the then most recent version of essentials, and HEAVILY modified the code.

Essentials V19 and V21 both overwent extensive coding and file overhauls, which breaks Fusions.

With V19 and V21 both introduced Gen 8 and Gen 9 respectively.

#

Now, the amount of work to Recode Fusions or to back code Essentials V21 is something Frogman isn't willing to tackle, so he just said. "Got it, We're just gonna cut it off after Gen 7.

#

So any Pokemon (Even evolutions) aren't getting added if they are after Gen 7

#

ok, pinging you in like 2 years

loud sorrel
#

Well if it’s gonna take a massive amount of effort to incorporate Gen 8+ content then I get why the cutoff was gen 7

inland jewel
#

You just need to translate the code from Essentials back to V18

#

Then translate that to Frogman's sphagetti code

loud sorrel
#

Sounds awful lol
Maybe some day in the far future someone with godlike programming skills can take all the code and stuff and incorporate Gen 8+ into the game

inland jewel
#

Well its all public domain so its just a matter of if someone has the time/energy

#

heck in doing so they could probably get a pokemon of their choice from those two gens into the game immediately heehee

Whoever makes it possible gets 5 slots to themselves

i see necrozma made it yes i'm late but that makes me happy

I mean there are a bunch of mons from Gen VIII and IX without any unique mechanics that could easily slot in

subtle plume
#

So there's still hope for bruxish is what you're saying /hj

like if you wanted to put in idk Orbeetle its not like it has a type/move/ability that isn't already in the game

silent acorn
clever atlas
#

You mean my suggestion?

silent acorn
# clever atlas You mean my suggestion?

Unless Bruxish wins the raffle, add Psychic Fangs to the Move Expert on Knot Island, available to any Psychic-type fusion able to learn Crunch - by Frostyke Lovers gang

If you mean this one yes

#

Currently at 27 btw

clever atlas
#

Yes i do mean this one, im happy someone cares about it

subtle plume

Ah I forgot brux had a signature ability Despair

silent acorn

Like psychic fangs is about all I would like of Bruxsish. Nah dazzling is kinda meh

Like priority moves aren't too powerful you know

obtuse silo
#

question do we have hurricane in the game?

clever atlas
#

Also, im not sure it can be called a signature ability tbh when there was another ability with the exact same effect introduced in the same generation

clever atlas
obtuse silo
#

just read a suggestion that said airslash was the strongest flying type move currently in the game

clever atlas
#

Ah that's because Hurricane is massively unreliable

obtuse silo
#

yeah but still stronger

clever atlas
#

And therefore often dq'ed from the contest

weak trellis
#

fun fact:

#

not a single move from gen 7+ has a lower base accuracy than 80%

obtuse silo
#

crazy

cedar fjord
#

Just going through Bulbapedia and checking against their abilities and if they have a unique move, you could introduce the following Pokemon from Gen VIII and IX without any additional coding.
Gen 8: Greedant, Orbeetle, Thievul, Eldegloss, Dubwool, Boltund, Centiskorch, Hatterene, Falinks, Indeedee, Copperajah, Duraludon
Gen 9:Lokix, Squakabilly, Klawf, Cetitan, Clodsire, Dundunsparse

weak trellis
#

i think gen 6 as well, might need to check

clever atlas
#

also Wrong chat guys ¯_(ツ)_/¯

weak trellis
#

greed, eldegoss, dural, klawf, and technically boltund all have new abilities

so even moves?

Wait Boltund has Strong Jaw and Competitive

#

which are both Gen VI abilities? How are they new?

i never understood how steelix hasnt gotten strong jaw

Ah Yamper has the useless ability that changes on evo, I forgot Ball Fetch

obtuse silo
#

okay aside from guzzlord

clever atlas
#

I think

obtuse silo
#

okay i want torkoal as a new mon

loud sorrel
#

We have turtles
We have fire types
Honestly if you really want a torkoal you could just make one lol

obtuse silo
#

they dont share the same asthaetics

#

and torkoal is cooler than ninetales imo

loud sorrel
#

Never had a strong opinion on torkoal
It’s nice to have a fire/rock type but that’s really it

obtuse silo
#

its pure fire

loud sorrel
#

It is?

obtuse silo
#

and has drought

#

yes sir ..and it has that cool smoke fontain thing on its back

loud sorrel
#

If wishiwashi got in do you think it’s transforming mechanic would be like necrozma where it can transform in battle

obtuse silo
#

i mean aegislash has a form change but doenst change sprites

#

wishiwashi would be cool though

loud sorrel
#

Could have some creative fusions where the little fish group up to form the shape of different Pokémon

prime dust
#

i don't think he'll change though

obtuse silo
#

so does necrozma actually change its body or is it seperate and you give it an item ot transform?

prime dust
#

if what I saw in the discussion is still accurate:

Have Necrozma
Give Necrozma specific item
Have Necrozma use specific move
It form shifts into Ultra Necrozma

loud sorrel
#

Yeah that makes sense

obtuse silo
#

interesting

#

honestly even if i want some mons in i dont feel super strongly about them

prime dust
#

lol

#

but U Necroz will be a battle only state

#

them getting this sorted means other battle state mons can be added in the future

#

all like 1 or 2 of em

with wishiwashi we could do a dr seuss reference with like smeargle or something
one fish
two fish

that plus registeel or something i could imagine would look awesome

yeah honestly id just treat school wishiwashi as a giant fish with a unique pattern and a few small fish trailing it

silent acorn

I think this fanart is great

Maybe a darksouls fusion reference with the weirdo darksseekers?

white meadow
silent acorn
#

Anyway we talking about washiwishi

loud sorrel
#

wishiwashi would play really well with the fish pokemon
have the small fish form the shape of their evolution

silent acorn
#

found his one neat.

white meadow

remoraid wishiwashi

gives another meaning to "school form"

wonder how those thin tentacle thins are formed by the fish bodies

Hey imagine joltik/school wishiwashi

now thatd be scary lol

silent acorn
#

Wishwashi plus Sharpedo is a little sad megalodon and then the evo is...

itd be a bunch of unown seplling out the word WHALE or SCHOOL or something

bitter comet
loud sorrel

yeah the unown have such cool and fun designs its a shame they cant do more in game

bitter comet
#

Imagine doing an unknown fusion only run

silent acorn
#

ayo I am going to Johto School to be sharp

loud sorrel
#

like
why do they only get one move
who do they have crap stats
why is there mechanic of any kind where they can team up together and do things
i think in lore it said that if a bunch of unown gather in one place it does powerful stuff
but that doesnt translate over in game

bitter comet
silent acorn
#

Gotta love how weird the Hoenn looks tho

silent acorn
#

It could be called Nown

loud sorrel
#

itd be fun if there was a mechanic where you could combine a bunch of unown together to spell out words, which makes them more powerful
like some sort of npc or machine in the overworld that can combine certain pokemon to make certain words
for example if you collect B, U, R, and N and combine them, you get Unown Burn, which has powerful fire moves and fire typing

silent acorn
#

"Nown use Hidden Power"

"It was not effective"

"Foe unown fainted!"

silent acorn
loud sorrel
#

or maybe youd just spell out a pokemon type to get an unown form of that type
like unown FIRE, unown WATER, unown GRASS
of course youd have to abbreviate some type names like electric to elec or something
itd be fun and incentivise you to catch multiples of the same unown

silent acorn
#

Imagine unown wasnt single stage is easy to dream specially since the anime keeps taunting us with it.

an unown combination/spelling mechanic would be so fun

Gen 6 was the worst for Bugs

pure flower
#

for gen 6, wasn't it like only vivilion?

fallen loom
#

yes

#

Gen 7 was the best for bugs. Iirc there's at least 5 lines, + lurantis which fits the bug looks without being one

Charjabug family
Dewpider family
Ribombee family
Buzzwole
Pheremosa

watch them add Vivilion in over any Gen 7 Bugs

Vikavolt was the first 3-stage bug line that didn't suck past the 3rd Gym

I think the problem with vikavolt would be it would evolve with the magnet stone
So after the 6th gym

it's why UFO ladybird was better, but it can't be in the game

But why would a plant mimicking a bug lure in more bugs

#

In scarlet violet, the pokedex art for it has it about to kill a pokemon

#

And no idea. Just that a lot of its pokedexs mention about it using it to lower the guard of other pokemon.

fallen loom
#

I think some Gen 2 Pokemon should be removed (Delibird and Ledyba) and replaced with better Pokémon

white meadow

#

Gen 2 dex makes the game worse IMO

#

"By masquerading as a bug Pokémon, it lowers the guard of actual bug Pokémon lured in by a scent of sweet flowers. Its sickles bring them down."

white meadow
#

And even if not it would be dumb cuz we would remove some peoples favorite mons and hundreds of sprite people worked a long time makeing

lilac flower

#

Pretty much. While lowering the guard of insect pokemon that see it

Normally just thinking Lurantis is just another bug type. It's pretty vicious when you consider that it's being a deceptive killer. Something I absolutely love about Lurantis.

fallen loom

#

also. Funny solar blade reference in Lurantis' Moon entry. "It fires beams from its sickle-shaped petals. These beams are powerful enough to cleave through thick metal plates."

white meadow
#

Man if we add all mons we could still add hundreds more

#

No even thousands

#

Frogman solved the space problem

fallen loom
# white meadow Man if we add all mons we could still add hundreds more

I'm telling you, the engine would stop working at a certain point. A lot of mon get in this game for no reason over others! We only have 40% of all viable Fighting Types in the game and Bug is the second least complete type! Bug really needs better members in this game, considering the majority of them are useless

sharp nebula
#

that certain point is like 200000 though

pure flower
#

'viable fighting types' what about nonviable fighting types?

fallen loom
#

is that including fusions?

pure flower
#

fusions don't take up any space anymore, surprisingly.

white meadow
fallen loom
sharp nebula
#

no, the fusions are now all generated dynamically, they dont take up space

#

there was a limit before because every fusion counted as one mon

pure flower
#

Yeah, it did also make the pokedex really slow.

fallen loom
#

oh, then why AREN'T all Gen 3-7 Pokémon in the game?

frozen oracle
#

Cause they still have to make the sprites

sharp nebula
#

it takes time to code them and to make the sprites

single waves as in one new mon?

#

It’s just a matter of time since Frogman has no time to work on this game

white meadow

#

we dont know yet, but its likely that eventually theyll all be added

pure flower
#

for sure though. I can see that all the starters will probably be the next wave

#

I wrote with Frogman once and he said it is a matter of time

#

BTW, regarding maps... we still have 200 maps left, so only 799 have been used

We can apparently save a ton by condensing houses into like 1 map per city.

And their puzzle

this update could only use 20 maps

#

Every time you load a building that’s a map

inland jewel
#

Yeah most, not IF

fallen loom
#

that explains why there are more maps than it feels like there should be

#

Finally using Excavalier thanks to a mod, and boy it's a good one

#

I was always bitter I never got to use one in the vanilla black. Now I get to have a hands on perspective on it

pure flower
#

Toffna?

silent acorn
#

Tough enough = Toffna

pure flower
#

Oh I see.

fallen loom
#

loli boob shot?

silent acorn
#

But yeah I get to use one. I can tell you Excavalier is one of the best bugs of Gen 5

silent acorn
# fallen loom loli boob shot?

Nah full armored lady that kicks ass.

I picked Gen 5 black because it's the one I played and doesn't have mons of other gens

fallen loom
#

I never got moemon

silent acorn
# fallen loom I never got moemon

Its mostly reskins for the most part I am playing with the Unova Dex Complete Edition for this.

There is a weird charm of having static Sprites with the effects and camera angles of Gen 5

fallen loom
#

does it add more mon past gen 5?

silent acorn
# fallen loom does it add more mon past gen 5?

Nah this is a vanilla gen 5 rom, and the hack is mostly to allow completition of the dex without trading or different versions mostly everything is the same

I didn't wanna play with drayanos or black 2 because they add Gen 5 pokemon making the gen 5 mons take a backseat for the experience.

#

I am playing like this to get a perspective on mons I wouldn't usually use or like.

Like I am using zebstrika, Musharna (these both are more boob shots than I expected), vanillite, and planning on using mienfoo and druddigon

fallen loom
#

have you tried Blaze Black and Volt White?

silent acorn
# fallen loom have you tried Blaze Black and Volt White?

I kinda wanted to, but the thing is that Drayano goes past the Gen mons you find, so for example I wanted the vanilla experience where all the mons were just the Gen 5 ones. I played drayano platinum a bit with following, was fun as hell.

#

Also the fact Drayano does edit stuff a bit so it's not the same experience. In this version I play about the only thing missing it's fairy type on whimsicott and Audino, but it's not a huge deal.

fallen loom
#

Audino isn't Fairy outside of Mega

silent acorn
#

Oh it isn't? I never pay much mind to it to really know.

inland jewel
#

It’s just gen 5 chantey

fallen loom
#

but no evo line

silent acorn
#

Basically. It's the exp farm, it does have little tricks tho.

Musharna has the problem of being very limited on moves, but damn it's a solid psychic tank

#

She gets synchronize which actually is useful when you have a mon as slow as her.

fallen loom
#

and Trick Room?

silent acorn
#

In a way you can play with that, but researching how to use her, I learned she can learn calm mind and stored power as almost the final level up moves. Which is that way for a reason, that is busted. Specially since it's a mon that specializes on tanking and making the opponent sleep

#

Since I am using Excavalier you could say she is a good trick room setter for other mons too.

#

Oh and she can get baton pass. In case that stored power wasnt enough to sweep

#

Its a good mon, with a bit of a learning curve.

#

Its different from Hypno in that is more tanky too.

fallen loom
#

I find this is a good Pikachu Moveset:
Nuzzle
Thunderbolt/Thunder
Quick Attack
Double Kick

Double Kick is for any Rock/Ground Types that are too common in Gen 1 games

silent acorn
#

Double kick is one hell of a move when you are agaisnt a type weak to fighting.

fallen loom
#

that's what I use in Fire Ash

silent acorn
#

Hmmmm. Yeah sounds about right for gen 1.

#

Although sp Def tanks would be that pikachus nighmare

fallen loom
#

just swap out

silent acorn
#

True that

#

You know Hypno seems like the less perfect psychic tank all things considered

#

so this is Musharna

#

And this is Hypno

#

Hypno seems like more of an all rounder Whilst Musharna specializes a lot more as a tank.

cinder oasis
#

And unfortunately both are bad

silent acorn
# cinder oasis And unfortunately both are bad

Psh you wish, if you only know competitive you only appreciate what 10 mons can do, when you experiment you find more mons are viable for a run. Musharna is tanky enough to resist the 2x attacks without that much trouble.

#

It can also lock the foe into both confusion and sleep depending on how you play

#

For example
Hypno can mess like hell with sp Def tanks thanks to psychock since that attacks defense

Musharna on the other hand once locking the enemy into sleep which wouldn't be counted for competitive because it's RNG dependant can let you buff atleast 2 3 times with calm mind. Letting you do around 100 off two calm minds without counting the buff to special attack, doing one more means doing 140 damage.

#

Too slow? Quick claw baby

#

It is RNG dependant so that's why anyone would see musharna as bad.

#

these are the mons that get stored power by level up. this move is so annoying its sparcely distributed

Musharna missing from the list because Database be like that.

#

A STAB muddy water vs a unbuffed Musharna

Battle over with the Palpitoad confused and asleep.

#

Oh I can't tell you what a power trip tanking everything they throw at me then leaving them powerless is.

silent acorn
#

Musharna is just strategy.

#

Moonlight, yawn, nighmare, psybeam, have I mentioned this is not the most powerful set this mon has?

#

No, we can only make dog,rats, and the occasional sentient ice cream cone battle each other using otherworldly powers. As god intended… :p

Quick claw baby. Making tanky mons beasts since gen II

#

wait chat, what's the last pokemon reveal coming up? The trevenant rush winner's pick? I forget

prime dust
#

trev rush winner never got to pick a mon, they got added to the winner's raffle.

last mon to get announced was the spriter's choice mon [rockruff and lycanroc]

#

we won't see the winner's raffle reveal until after the update comes out

tardy flame
#

oh man moemon, I was trying to remember what that was called awhile ago, time to play moemon again

hopefully will tide me over till this weekend
