pif-hoenn-discussion

[stuck bane]

That’s a good guess, lemme check its dex entries

[dense perch]

life and death of color, im in imo

getting older and older

[silent acorn]

Could it be the unova musketeer trio?

[clear lichen]

If it happens, it happens

[silent acorn]

Hmmm probably not

[clear lichen]

Remember, there's 2 slots

[hollow creek]

Meltan just feels right as a secret addition to the 500k memeber update

[pale flame]

Absolutely not

[clear lichen]

It has to be a duo or a 2 stage line

[pale flame]

I say this because I will it to not be so

[silent acorn]

Right eught

[silent acorn]

Psh that doesn't work

[clear lichen]

Volbeat and Illumise because the colours are becoming brighter frfr

[silent acorn]

Hmmm

[clear lichen]

Source: I made it the fuck up

[hollow creek]

I feel like a mythical duo/2 stage is possible and shouldnt be ruled out

[silent acorn]

Two mons that have something like these colors

[stuck bane]

Shut the fuck up

[silent acorn]

To do with color or something

[stuck bane]

Are our colors supposed to be rusting?

[silent acorn]

Oh could it really be Illumise and Volbeat?

[pale flame]

This is peak

[clear lichen]

A bit rude

[silent acorn]

Our hated choice?

[pale flame]

Nope I believe

Melmetal

[twin phoenix]

Red for Terrakion, Yellow for Cobalion, Green for Virizion, and Blue for Keldeo. /s

[pale flame]

Guys it's Melmetal

[clear lichen]

I still think it's unrelated

[pale flame]

I'd like this, but I believe there are only two slots

[silent acorn]

YEAH THATS WHAT THE COLORS REMINDED ME OF

[stuck bane]

I’m Gen 5 guy and I’m sorry yellow for Coba is a stretch

[hollow creek]

Hoopa and hoopa unbound feel likely too

[pale flame]

Yeah it's blue

[ember bear]

cobalion yellow?

[twin phoenix]

So is Keldeo. X.x

[silent acorn]

It has a bit of yellow

[pale flame]

Guys I think it's PacMan and the Ghost

[clear lichen]

Though if you do think it is related you can still say it's Volbeat and Illumise, and say something like the colours weren't fully illuminated and that's why they looked more saturated or something stupid like that

[silent acorn]

Duos... Duos.... Hmmm

[clear lichen]

And I do think it will be a troll

[pale flame]

They have colors

[hollow creek]

Hoopa and melm are my guesses

[pale flame]

That's why

[twin phoenix]

I wasn't being serious, ahh..

[silent acorn]

He did Bruxish although the why I don't know. I think there is a category for hated mon

[stuck bane]

Also just to make it clear, frog said colors are just to represent the Gen 1 games, the actual colors don’t matter just the dimming part

[clear lichen]

Idk about you but when things get dimmer the don't become brighter in colour

[pale flame]

Everyone knows the gen 1 games are grey, grey, grey, and yellow

Smh

[clear lichen]

I'm going all in on Volbeat and Illumise even though I think yall are onto nothing

[stuck bane]

Are they brighter for desktop? For mobile they seem faded or dimmer

[silent acorn]

Problem with this theory is that usually Red becomes pink in brighter light, not poopy brown

[pale flame]

Those two would add like, nothing to this game.

[clear lichen]

I thought it'd be them before, I still think it'd be them

[clear lichen]

That's the point

It's a troll

[twin phoenix]

Solgaleo and Lunala because light mons, Idk

[silent acorn]

Did you vote carbink?

Did you vote bruxish

[pale flame]

I wasn't here for the vote

[twin phoenix]

I forgot I said that already because I should be sleeping.

[silent acorn]

Yeah but what was your stance on it

[dense perch]

the death of color => yveltal and so xerneas

[pale flame]

Nor did I want Bruxish, but it has good fusions and I can't deny it.

[pale flame]

Carbink was a funny potential option, but I was Golisopod

[clear lichen]

If you put a light next to a colour, they will become lit up and less saturated or something

[silent acorn]

Well anything that gets in ends up at that

[clear lichen]

Idk I don't believe this theory

So I'm making shit up

[twin phoenix]

A Pokémon that sucks out color would be so freaking interesting as a concept.

[pale flame]

Not Volbeat and Illumise

They're the same, and they're both very mediocre options

[silent acorn]

Yes Volbeat and Illumise

I dont care for them, but they could end up as hated option

[pale flame]

I will not humour this idea, and if it happens, I'll be mildly upset.

[silent acorn]

Anyway

[hollow creek]

ok listen

[silent acorn]

Wash up colors

Wait that's its

[silent acorn]

Wash up wishy

[twin phoenix]

Manaphy blue, Shaymin green, Victini yellow, Hoopa red muahaha

[silent acorn]

IT'S WISHIWASHI

Nah jk

Ain't no way

[pale flame]

Okay

[hollow creek]

volbeat is still better than plusle

[pale flame]

I have a special place for those two

From Pokémon Ranger

But I agree

[silent acorn]

Literally nothing is worse than plusle and minun

[hollow creek]

Volbeat is the best of the worst

[twin phoenix]

Barbaracle is at the bottom for me.

[stuck bane]

I don’t see how it could be hoopa tbh, no dex entries say anything, unless there’s some part of the movie mentioning washing out colors

[silent acorn]

It's ugly yeah but hey... Tough claws

[stuck bane]

I never saw hoopa movie

[hollow creek]

it took me a bit to get what this sentence meant and omg

[clear lichen]

Anyways I just ran my little experiment to make sure I'm not fucking stupid, and things do indeed become brighter in the light (shocker, I know)

[hollow creek]

That would be funny if true

[silent acorn]

Nothing to do with color

[stuck bane]

YEAH YIU MIGHT BE AN ACCIDENTAL GENUIS

[twin phoenix]

Idk, Volcanion red?

[pale flame]

Nah you're not cooking

[clear lichen]

Not only would Volbeat and Illumise match the trolling part from the past, it kinda fits for the colours becoming lighter and less saturated in colour somewhat

[silent acorn]

It is kinda that shade

[hollow creek]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-melmetal-steel-competitive-double-gif-7293507226239341334

[stuck bane]

I’m predicting meltan line then

[clear lichen]

RIP

[silent acorn]

It'd be weird

But hey

[twin phoenix]

What is even there to cook?

[silent acorn]

I love melmetal

[silent acorn]

Clown

[pale flame]

I'm already cooked

[hollow creek]

People complaining about kommo and carbink being hard to sprite will explode of meltan is in

[silent acorn]

Yes you are

[silent acorn]

Why?

[cyan helm]

Reginut

[hollow creek]

That mercury texture

[silent acorn]

It's liquid metal badass

[gray vine]

meltan seems so easy to sprite

[silent acorn]

It's a blobby boy

[gray vine]

hes luqid guy with some bolts

[hollow creek]

Thats it, that mercury texture would be really hard to nail i think

[twin phoenix]

Good practice for drawing curves and making shapes with them.

[gray vine]

just make it white, its pixels, your not gonna go out of your way to perfect a "texture"

this isnt 3d

[pale flame]

We'll see.

[pale flame]

Shading:

[stuck bane]

This would be so funny, I think it’s technically a mythical, but the no legends limit only applied to the votes/raffle

[gray vine]

ehhh

[pale flame]

This stat spread is so fucking comedic

[clear lichen]

It is a mythical, that is indeed true

[silent acorn]

Love it great body

[clear lichen]

This isn't exactly the Buzzwole stat spread

But close enough

[twin phoenix]

That's Melmetal?

[stuck bane]

Yep

[hollow creek]

My orginal thinking for melmetal being the missing slot was "Well it would be weird if just a normal mon for the celebration update, was the secret slot hidden for the update itself"

[silent acorn]

If you wanna complete pseudo

Ya need Melmetal

Numbers don't lie

Labels do

By the way

Urshifu is not mythical

It's a legend

Let that sink in

[hollow creek]

Its weird, its exlusive to pokemon go and lets go pika/eevee as a mythica;

[clear lichen]

Pseudo legendaries refer to non mythical non legendary Pokemon lines that have 3 stages and end with 600 BST Pokemon with some stupid specific exp group

[clear lichen]

No shit?

I thought that was obvious

I might just be an idiot

[silent acorn]

Outside of rarity and scarcity not much makes mythical

[clear lichen]

Or too addicted

[gray vine]

of course it is?

its in the game

mythicals are not, you get em other ways

[silent acorn]

Kung Fu bear species that exists since who knows how long and isn't any measure of rare

[stuck bane]

I miss the days when mythicals were actual beings of myth and not just hanging out of dojos

[clear lichen]

Why would that make it a mythical either

[silent acorn]

Ah yes. But hey

[gray vine]

the difference in legend and mythical is just how you get em

arceus is a mythical

[silent acorn]

Gen 8 isn't canon here

Muahahahahaa

[clear lichen]

It's just a weirdly common legendary and it isn't the first legendary that's just a species

[silent acorn]

I wish I could tell you I care about that label

But it has lost so much meaning

[twin phoenix]

Wasn't mythical like go do this special thing irl to get it? Buy this other game or go to this store and pick up a code, download from the internet..

[clear lichen]

True

[silent acorn]

Now it's just extra annoying mon to get

[weak trellis]

the only difference is the arbitrary labels that GF assigns to them that a lot of us don't care about anymore

[silent acorn]

Before it used to be "GODLY BEING AMONGST POKÉMON"

[gray vine]

i dont like kubfu as a legend should be a normal mon, i will forgive cosmog for being one due to it evolving into a mon seen in legends

[clear lichen]

Mythicals typically are only available via events but now like most of them don't need events

[hollow creek]

I like melmetal a lot because being exlusive to pokemon go makes it feel like an oddity amongst oddities

[weak trellis]

instead of us going by more sensible things like mon availability and base stat totals to determine it

[silent acorn]

Cosmog is neat because it's just narritively that way

Kubfu is bs

[gray vine]

eh mewtwo is one too, and thats just a man made guy

[clear lichen]

So ig definition is a Pokemon that is first obtained from an event

[weak trellis]

I can see cosmog yea

[clear lichen]

Which would fit all of them

[hollow creek]

Its "oh that thing exists" but in a positive way

[weak trellis]

kubfu, the loyal three, ogrepon, meltan/melmetal, and phione are all just strong(ish) regular pokemon with plot relevance for me

[stoic sluice]

Why our colors even more faded now. I can't see yellow anymore (

[twin phoenix]

We have been trying to figure that out.

[clear lichen]

OK but Ogerpon is peak so it is forgiven

[bitter comet]

We are rusting

[stuck bane]

It’s barely visible, but still there, prevailing theory is colors rusting and melmetal but we haven’t gone through all mons yet

[clear lichen]

Loyal 3 are technically both species and one of a kind?

They're a species of a Pokemon altered from Pecharunt and only 1 altered version exists

[weak trellis]

(melmetal has the stats but I can't call something legendary or mythical when I can catch like 30+ of them in 30 minutes)

[clear lichen]

But Pecharunt probably could make more

[weak trellis]

it's in the same boat as archuraludon for me

[stoic sluice]

Green one don't seem to rusting

[clear lichen]

They're only available from an event

[stuck bane]

Some people are and aren’t, but I can confirm green fade does exist

[weak trellis]

not if you have GO they aren't

[clear lichen]

One that is easily triggered at any time

But hey

[silent acorn]

ONE MAN MADE GUY

[clear lichen]

Opening the mystery box counts as an event to me

[gray vine]

ye

[stoic sluice]

And why rusting to be exact

[gray vine]

just a clone of mew

[weak trellis]

if it happens daily then that's as much of an event as drifloon is in gen 4 rofl

[outer matrix]

so the colors becoming very desaturated could be linked to a new reveal?

[stuck bane]

Yeah silverr is green

[gray vine]

borin

[clear lichen]

Good question! Ask them, I have 0 clue

[stoic sluice]

Why not just fading or something

[clear lichen]

People think so, I disagree

[gray vine]

same with gensect, thats just a fossil with armor

[clear lichen]

And if it is true I can still relate it to Volbeat and Illumise anyways

So it's fine

[bitter comet]

Man, my favorite event that had something to do with the name tags was the Necrozma reveal

[stuck bane]

Do you have a better idea to call what’s happening and tie it to a Pokémon not in the game yet?

[clear lichen]

It'd follow the pattern of doing a miniscule amount of tomfoolery every single time

[clear lichen]

Yes because that's such a bad reasoning

How does faded colours link to rust idk

[stuck bane]

Again do you have something better

I’m all ears

[clear lichen]

Xerneas and Yveltal felt more likely and those didn't feel likely at all

[clear lichen]

Yes, this isn't related to a reveal, that's my theory

[stuck bane]

Then why are you in new Pokémon discussion

[clear lichen]

Either that or the dumb putting a light next to a colour in the dark thing for Volbeat and Illumise, to work with the fact that it'd be an incredibly disappointing pick that matches with every pick from the past

AKA trying to half assedly explain something I would believe

Because most of the excuses don't make much sense anyways

Idk what to say apart from what I've said

[hollow creek]

That is a very fair theory

[silent acorn]

Actually a very abnormal clone of mew

[hollow creek]

and is probably closer to the actual case

[silent acorn]

Every factor that could have gone in the way to make it insane

Unlike genosect which were planned to be made in Mass

[stuck bane]

Then what is this? Why put all the effort in? For character customization? Can I make my character blue? (The color not the rival)

[silent acorn]

Mewtwo was effectively pushing Pokescience to its limit

[clear lichen]

Well if you think that's the case, look at the half assed Volbeat and Illumise theory

[stuck bane]

Where is that

[clear lichen]

That's about as feasible as all the others, if not even more so due to fitting with the theme of picking a disappointing pick each year

[bitter comet]

[clear lichen]

I've said it multiple times but I'll link one

[stoic sluice]

Character customization sound interesting

[clear lichen]

This dumb explanation

[hollow creek]

There is a CHANCE, that its just for funsies

Honestly 50/50

[clear lichen]

That makes nearly 0 sense

Which is about as much as all the others anyways

[hollow creek]

I would like that this color stuff was for a new pokemon but we could also being overthinking it, or not, thats frog's magic right there

[clear lichen]

TLDR: Probably doesn't mean much and if anything makes Volbeat and Illumise more likely

That's my opinion on it

[fathom ridge]

we are probably overthinking it but the two missing slots are VERY suspicious

[clear lichen]

It's simple really, the past years had disappointing/unexpected Pokemon, this year likely will have one too

Thus, I nominate Volbeat and Illumise

[hollow creek]

its just two more carbinks

[clear lichen]

Though maybe it could be something more unexpected

Like some random mon from the middle of the votes

Like idk Spinda or something

Wait that's 1 mon

[stoic sluice]

I think there is should be something new just by the fact that this chat is still exist

[fathom ridge]

no pls anyone but those, i think even pusle and minus would be better

[clear lichen]

Gulpin line then

Fr

[fathom ridge]

staff did say that it would be up for a little longer

[fathom ridge]

actually not a bad pick

[clear lichen]

I dont think it'd be a great option either but that's the point

Picking a generally hated option

[stoic sluice]

And still it strange to leave it for 3 days or so

[stuck bane]

I don’t think so, if Volbeat illumise were it they’d pull similar to a Necrozma and make most names black with a few extremely bright colors like hot pink instead of whatever red is now. I stand behind the rust theory because this seems a lot closer to what is happening now:

[clear lichen]

People have also talked about Binacle line due to frog liking Barbaracle and it would still fit the theme of generally unpopular

[stuck bane]

Tough claws would be nice though

[clear lichen]

If anything this makes me feel more confident it isn't Meltan or Melmetal

[stuck bane]

Why

[clear lichen]

The image I mean

[stuck bane]

It’s losing color what do you mean

[clear lichen]

Idk if you could tell but rust is typically brown

[fathom ridge]

where is this image from

[stuck bane]

Google

[fathom ridge]

sooo you think the colours are rusting?

[stuck bane]

Yes, rust is brown, but it’s not an immediate process, around the brown it loses color and then fully rusts away, like the dex entry said it rusts over a long time

[stuck bane]

Yes

[deft obsidian]

I think so, or just for red

[fathom ridge]

yeah i think we are overthinking it

like this theory is just a bit too much

[clear lichen]

I'd give evidence reasoning but not only do I think my reasoning is bad and that there isn't even any link between fading colours and the new Pokemon

[stuck bane]

So yea, rust is brown, but the color fades and THEN rusting occurs, which could be next couple of days

[clear lichen]

But idk how to prove my theory without accidentally doxing myself even a small bit

[stuck bane]

Then don’t, safety on internet is more important

[clear lichen]

I mean nobody's gonna call up a geoguesser to pinpoint my location

But better safe than sorry

[fathom ridge]

whats your theory?

[outer matrix]

so all of the colors will become brown/orange due to rust?

[clear lichen]

That it's unrelated

Alternatively

[velvet root]

I do

[stuck bane]

This server has 500k lurkers some could be bad actors

[clear lichen]

You know how colours appear darker in the dark?

You know how fireflies produce light?

Yeah that

[fathom ridge]

we have the pictures of your goats, someone recognizes that grass

[clear lichen]

I won't bother explaining it well because I believe it as much as every other theory

AKA literally 0

[stuck bane]

Possibly? Or it could just stay like this, but if it were a simple “end of the event” thing they wouldn’t even bother changing the colors, they’d just end it

[fathom ridge]

i think it will be barbarcle and they will be like "hey guys look" randomly one day

[slow rampart]

copium: white light is made up of all the colors, and our colors are fading into white aka light, it's lunala and solgaleo because honestly why is necrozma here but not them?

[clear lichen]

Barbaracle also fits the "generally disappointing" theme

I personally like Barbaracle

But it is extremely hated by most Pokemon fans

At least from what I see

[fathom ridge]

i like barbaracle bc i have it shiny

[stuck bane]

However, my stance is there’s something behind color changes. Probably a Pokémon similar to Necrozma reveal, but it could be something else. It’s not nothing though

[deft obsidian]

makes sense :0

[fathom ridge]

maybe the colours are fading away so it isnt weird that suddenly one day they arent there

[hollow creek]

I would LOOVEEEE BINACLE

https://tenor.com/view/binacle-barbaracle-pokemon-anime-gif-1843617017963443781

[clear lichen]

I would love it, don't get me wrong, Lunala is tied for my favourite

but there's only 2 slots

4 is not equal to 2

[stuck bane]

Why? Removing roles is so simple, happens all the time, nobody is gonna be upset their roles disappeared one day because frog himself said they were limited time

[hollow creek]

it would be funny is it was actually lunala and solgaleo and cosmog just said bye bye

[slow rampart]

Lunala is lovely, and I'm honestly so confused how necrozma is in the game without them when it's all about fusing with them

[hollow creek]

cosmeom? Nor like cos no meom

[fathom ridge]

yeah but like why wouldn't they do that, its neat

[stuck bane]

I guess…? Maybe?

I doubt it though

[fathom ridge]

the thing is that none of the theories are really that solid

[full bison]

This whole thing is just the pattern seeking brain going insane tbh

It's certainly not as deep as people are making it out to be

[outer matrix]

After all, the colors becoming desaturated is likely due to how bright they stand out compared to the others that existed beforehand

[stuck bane]

This much is true, the only theory that kind of works rust but even that is grasping at straws, we just don’t have enough info

[full bison]

Honestly, How would Melmetal even work in IF? It has a super bizarre evolution method as it stands

[fathom ridge]

the rust thing only works if something really weird happens later so like right now it doesn't really have a lot going for it

[stuck bane]

Mist stone at least would definitely work, but there’s gotta be something better than that imo: level up a meltan with 5 other meltan or meltan fusions in your party?

[ashen cloud]

oh no

my green is going bye bye

[stuck bane]

Yep

[silent acorn]

Mr courage I don't feel so good

[silent acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-skeleton-fall-apart-skeleton-burst-pop-skeleton-exploding-gif-25434496

[outer matrix]

I've heard that mist stones are hard to obtain and are scarce, so meltan would be stuck unevolved for a long while

[hot hamlet]

Considering there’s only 2 in the whole game

[hexed agate]

I love Cosmoem, space nugget is my bro

Honorary cool rock

[velvet root]

Who wants to be my starter?

And what do you want to be?
Normal Lillipup, Ghost Machop or Psychic Bagon?

[stuck bane]

Lillipup because Gen 5 bias

[weak trellis]

there's one right before koga (level 35-38) and another after sabrina (level 45)

[velvet root]

This you

[stuck bane]

Friendlocke or something?

[velvet root]

I just wantet to do a fully random White playthrough and im gonna name my encounters after people on the server

[stuck bane]

Ok, cool, I don’t think couragestar fits tho so you can just do courage

[velvet root]

I just didnt add the a in star

[stuck bane]

Fair

Well then I wish you luck

[velvet root]

Your a Ice/Flying Whimsicott now

Bro

noone will believe that

[velvet root]

Welcome in the team ig

[gray vine]

now red is pink

what does it mean

[molten loom]

The colours are fading

[gray vine]

well im pretty sure it was faded more ebfore

red was very much a brown

now its back to atleast somewhat red

[bitter comet]

So do you guys think we will have news on the missing slot mons today since there’s something weird with the usernames or will it be some other day?

[velvet root]

Your a Patrat now qwq

[bitter comet]

What does that mean?

[velvet root]

A torrent Grass type one

[velvet root]

.

[bitter comet]

Ah

Cool

[hardy tartan]

Color roles? 👀

Ah, I’m becoming paler

[molten loom]

They're fading

[stuck bane]

Test

Yeah fading a lot now

[hardy tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/what-does-it-mean-austin-powers-confused-gif-13385768

When did they start fading?

[molten loom]

I'm going through several processes to stay blue

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1280612629970157578

[hot hamlet]

Guess you can call me Mintster J for the time being

[stuck bane]

Real answer: no idea

Our best guess if you put a gun to our heads: melmetal because colors fading and rust, but that’s mostly grasping at straws

[molten loom]

What if the roles fading is like a timer for when the reveal the secret mons

[stuck bane]

Roles started fading earlier today, and some were affected and some weren’t

It seems like more are being affected over time though

[hardy tartan]

Nice, nice
I’ve been brainstorming sprite ideas because work is slow
Shame I can’t do pixel art here 😔

[molten loom]

I'm pretty sure all of them got affected at around the same time

[stuck bane]

Ooo could be

[hardy tartan]

Could also be a goodbye to Fusion Day month

[hot hamlet]

Or the update itself

[stuck bane]

No there was def a point where some people had brighter greens and blues like before and some like me didn’t

[molten loom]

I doubt that, since there aren't that many sprites for the new mons

And also the dex gap has yet to be acknowledged

[hardy tartan]

If that’s it, I’m guessing the missing numbers are skiddo and gogoat, since there are certainly a bunch of sprites for them

[stuck bane]

I think update will drop next month or so to make time for the 474 and 475 sprites

[hot hamlet]

That didn’t stop Noivern and Lycanroc last time

[molten loom]

Fair

[hollow creek]

Probs with the update

[stuck bane]

Wait noivern def had sprites before the update, did Lycanroc?

[hollow creek]

Although that could be soon, I think all frog has to add is the new mons spawn locations, right?

[hot hamlet]

I still think it’s whatever had the most sprites during the celebration. No reason to ignore all that instant artwork

[hot hamlet]

Barely any for both

[plucky lily]

Or new egg, “nest” locations

[stuck bane]

It’s not as simple as that, but the update is mostly done except for lurantis and carbink needing to be coded in

Because special vote/raffle were only decided recently

[hollow creek]

6.0 came out 7 days after lycanroc was revealed

that was 41 mons

BUT

this update is the customization update AND 8 mons

idk what my point is

[hot hamlet]

Custom was done weeks ago per Frog’s admission

[molten loom]

I picked a mon I thought would be easy and then looked at what doesn't have a custom sprite with it

[plucky lily]

I was thinking, what if the 2 unrevealed mons don’t evolve?

What if we’re getting 2 single stage mons?

[hot hamlet]

Always a possibility

[hollow creek]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[gray vine]

thats carzy talk

[hardy tartan]

Luvdisc and alomomola

[hollow creek]

so we're just seeing if the color dulling means anything

[plucky lily]

I mean we got Bink, anything is on the table. /s

[hardy tartan]

I think the least interesting reveal would be two legendaries
Gimme the troll additions 😌

[hot hamlet]

Dunno if it’s “easy” but… Lopunny/Octillery? Like, Ursula-style the octopus half replaces the lower half?
Not in any NSFW means, just my personal creature is a half-rabbit/half-octopus done in this manner.

[hardy tartan]

rock candy?

[molten loom]

A single monkey line gets added

[lilac lynx]

Me, I freaking love Woobat 😤

[plucky lily]

Rock candy is a Slurpuff/Carbink fusion.

[hot hamlet]

Yummy

[hardy tartan]

I did say I’d be okay with one monkey, as all three have too much design overlap

[full bison]

Simple availability would be hype

[hardy tartan]

That was weeks ago, though

[lilac lynx]

YES

[stuck bane]

And unaware and that speed stat and heart stamp

[lilac lynx]

Also Woobat is cute and seeing ANY pokemon with his AMAZINGLY ADORABLE HEART NOSE WOULD BE AMAZING

[full bison]

Simple Volcarona/Swoobat with Quiver Dance and Stored Power would make Espathra look pathetic

[stuck bane]

I don’t think it’s 474 and 475, but it’d be an awesome Valentine’s Day pick

[lilac lynx]

WOOBAT IS THE BEST FUCKIN POKEMON AND I WILL FUCKIN DIE ON THIS HILL

[hot hamlet]

You had me until the extremist take

[stuck bane]

It’s dangerous to go alone, take this:

Swoobat: team rocket Mon, good speed, only psychic type besides cosmog to get unaware, only flying type to get unaware, also only psychic and flying type to get simple, only flying type to learn heart stamp, and only psychic type head that can also learn heart stamp, also learns heart stamp the earliest out of all heart stamp users at the extremely low level 15 for both Woobat and Swoobat, also the only psychic type head to learn assurance, and the only flying type to learn odor sleuth, and the only non-legendary flying type with access to calm mind naturally

[lilac lynx]

Valid tbh

[hardy tartan]

Tbh, carbink has a pretty simple body
And there’s a fear it’ll just get head fusions

[silent acorn]

It's not a fear

It's a reality

[lilac lynx]

This is why he's the best 😤

[silent acorn]

Get used to Carbink heads

[hardy tartan]

I’m gonna do carbink bodies out of spite

[hot hamlet]

I just imagined a brown Carbink with Buneary ears

[lilac lynx]

[molten loom]

[hardy tartan]

I’ve already got a fomantis/carbink idea
And, well, a carbink head rotom body idea based on a fulgurite

[hot hamlet]

Rotom/Carbink would be an electromagnet would it not?

[hardy tartan]

Chonk kakuna

(Lunch break over)

[velvet root]

Worm guess what

Your a Poison Electric type

[stuck bane]

Ye I think someone already did Fomantis Carbink tho

@hardy tartan sorry

[velvet root]

Do you like Lumineon or Cherrim more?

[hot hamlet]

Neither

Not bad just no opinion

[stuck bane]

Flip a coin

[molten loom]

Cherrim lost a lot of points from it's quest in Legends Arceus imo

[hot hamlet]

I guess I like Finneon over Cherubi so there’s that

[velvet root]

Not the best nature but nice

[hot hamlet]

Imma feesh!

[outer matrix]

have the color roles became more grey-ish since an hour or so ago?

[molten loom]

They're fading

[hot hamlet]

I’m still minty

[gray vine]

they been for more then an hour

[hot hamlet]

Sword is almost gone

[molten loom]

Working on getting a bluer one

[velvet root]

Dragon feesh

[hot hamlet]

I’m a discount Magikarp?

[velvet root]

Close your literally a Grass/dragon type

[hot hamlet]

A non-toxic Skrelp?

I think the name thing is because some colors are lighter than others even at full color

[stuck cave]

I feel this energy

[hot hamlet]

So some will fade faster

[digital ferry]

Any theories on what the role colors might mean yet?

[pale sparrow]

confusion

[molten loom]

There are a lot

[hot hamlet]

One with most colors gets their pre-selected mon added to the game in the missing slot

[molten loom]

It's basically been like this a few times

[hot hamlet]

Each color had a two-stage tied to it, we just didn’t know it.
The one added is whatever got the most role colors

[hot hamlet]

This was me last night during the ORB conversation

[dusty arrow]

im home chat

[velvet root]

And your a Ice type snivy

[outer matrix]

votes are already done

[dusty arrow]

[molten loom]

Am I anything yet?

[velvet root]

With Flame body

[velvet root]

No you have to write when I get a encounter

[dusty arrow]

...
do you want me to start ice type snivy with flame body propaganda

[gray stream]

that would be pretty dope ngl

would genuinely vote

[dusty arrow]

gimme a moment chat

[civic harness]

Voting without knowing

[molten loom]

A timer for when we learn what the dex gap mons are

[civic harness]

Or just Minior colours

[velvet root]

Soooo

I had 2 fossils guys

[velvet root]

@molten loom

[molten loom]

[dusty arrow]

nah they are chill

@gray stream hey

[dusty arrow]

didnt mean to make that joke oops

[gray stream]

[velvet root]

And your a Ground type Rotom

With thick fat

[dusty arrow]

just noticed the name, this is peak

[dusty arrow]

which rotom

[velvet root]

Normal one

Sooo the desert

[velvet root]

And your a psychic Yamask

[velvet root]

Have to go to the box

[dusty arrow]

oh

[velvet root]

Heavy Metal

[dusty arrow]

one sec

[velvet root]

lol

[outer matrix]

that's me?

[stuck bane]

Now make one for normal type Lillipup with hydration

Or did I die since I’ve been gone?

[velvet root]

yeeee

[velvet root]

Your still here

[velvet root]

Tomate as a Flying type Flygon Torrent

[velvet root]

Dark/Psychic Deino lol magnet pull

[terse fable]

Minior confirmed

Or I dunno

[stuck bane]

Melmetal is our best guess, but fading colors could work for dying minior too ig

[outer matrix]

so all of us will go and fade away?

[stuck bane]

If it is a new Mon

[stuck bane]

Perhaps, this channel was shut down once before

[fossil gull]

I hope it’s minior

[stuck bane]

Minor would be so awesome, but I’m trying to keep my expectations in check

[outer matrix]

minior does have red, blue, green and yellow form colors, so you may be onto something

and the color roles are fading away, just like how a minior is like when exposed without its core for a while

[stuck bane]

It actually doesn’t have red, it has pink, also RBGY are only to represent Gen 1, the colors themselves don’t matter, just the fading

[outer matrix]

the pink color that minior can have is kind of closer to red

[velvet root]

Ice Kabuto

[terse fable]

Minior would indeed be cool, mainly cause I've seen spriters cook for no reason with that mon lol

[stuck bane]

I’m adamant that’s still pink, but like frog said colors are just to represent Gen 1

[terse fable]

Still half hoping for amoonguss cause of all the funny amongus guys hidden in the 500k Pic but that's more doubtful loll

[stuck bane]

Dude completing all the poison types from unova would be hype (there’s only 3, scoli Garbo and Amoongus )

[velvet root]

Normal/Ice samurot (whats with all those ice types???)

[velvet root]

Water Mudkip

[hot hamlet]

I still see no appeal to this mon. Every reason for its existence would just become a color swap alt

[velvet root]

THE EVO IS WATER STEEL???

[terse fable]

I've seen some pretty creative sprites made for it already, a dugtrio one comes to mind specifically, but that's not to say you wouldn't be partially right on that

[terse fable]

People don't know they want it till they get it lol

Just like Shinotiic would've been trust

[unkempt kernel]

I can be trusted with Amoongus Fuses it with Whimsicoot for prankster spore

[molten loom]

You already know how many Amoonguss fuses would be with ditto for imposter

[velvet root]

Tower the darktype foongus

[bitter comet]

So when do y’all think the update is gonna come out?

Also, is it me or is red paler now?

[hot hamlet]

Town of Us mod.
Fuse to Lycanroc for Wearwolf

Or Ponyta for the Horse Mode April fools mode

[bitter comet]

Like it’s more pinkish now

Am I just going insane?

[velvet root]

[ornate tide]

Whar

It hasn’t faded even more yet so we chilling

[umbral river]

Guys, the color roles are fading... maybe the hidden pokemon has something to do with it...

[outer matrix]

[ornate tide]

My eyes bruh

That’s literally a flash bang

[bitter comet]

I heard from someone that we’re rusting and that we’re going to get that one steel type mythical that you get from playing Pokémon go

[umbral river]

MELTAN MOMENT???? LETS GO

[ornate tide]

Meltan and Melmetal getting added would be crazy work

[umbral river]

Also how come Blue hasn't faded yet

C'mon, fade with us

[molten loom]

It's very faded

[umbral river]

ARegularBigJoke is very blue

[molten loom]

Spriter role

[umbral river]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

[outer matrix]

that's because I unchecked the new color roles after seeing how pale they were becoming

[umbral river]

Guess you're blue, dabadi dabadi

[molten loom]

[bitter comet]

I hope the new mon is revealed sometime before the end of the day for me

[umbral river]

I hope the new mon is revealed before 3am

Or else...

[hot hamlet]

I hope the game updates this weekend so I can dedicate a full day of playing and not have to mute this server for 10 hours like the last two times

[molten loom]

omg

[umbral river]

omg :OOOO

[molten loom]

[umbral river]

He's gonna reveal to us the new Pokemon IF Contests mode

[hot hamlet]

[umbral river]

The thing in event announcements could be a clue to the next mon

[glass patio]

minior is not just

color alts

smh

[umbral river]

Minior sitting in the Paldea time-out with Furfrou, Watchog and the Unova Elemental Monkeys:

[small tiger]

we have two more pokes to go I guess?

[bitter comet]

Think about it they said the word comet shard, comets are from space, minior is also from space therefore we are getting minior

[glass patio]

the design can make cool fusions plus it’s also a really cute fella 😔

[small tiger]

majoras mask fusions here I come!

[civic harness]

I love how people considerate Carbink better then Kommo-o

[glass patio]

Because it is

[small tiger]

yeah, better than slurpuff

[glass patio]

[wind kraken]

My glorious king golisopod got robbed yet again 💔

[bitter comet]

I have been convinced that it is by all the cute fusions people make of it

[umbral river]

They said dig, this means we're getting Drillbur and Excalibur

[hot hamlet]

Looks more like a way to fill out Carbink as all fusions need to use it or Sableye

[bitter comet]

That would also be cool

[glass patio]

i would have liked slurpuff but carbink is awesome too

[civic harness]

I dont really like cute fusions but it have a lot of support

[small tiger]

its like regirock and regice but cute and more stone-like

[bitter comet]

Probably.

[stuck bane]

It’s such copium but god excadrill would be so awesome

Pour more salt in the Golisopod wound it’s not like everyone else isn’t doing it

[white meadow]

Now look at this

Whoops

[umbral river]

I'm looking

[hardy tartan]

? What thing?

[white meadow]

#pif-hoenn-discussion message

There we are

Mr buffet please reconsider

[stuck bane]

Event for Carbink/sableye

I doubt it though

[hardy tartan]

Link? I’m on mobile

[stuck bane]

Me dumb this next best thing

[glass patio]

oh i love those worms in the tentacruel

[umbral river]

Yeah the Slurpuff fusions are really creative

[hot hamlet]

Churrotic is a strong contender

[umbral river]

Just across the board

[civic harness]

Spriters like candy

[hot hamlet]

And yes Gunmy Worm Tentacruel is a fun creative decision

[umbral river]

I, too, like candy

Like, you got me there

[white meadow]

These were just posted in spritework as well

[glass patio]

yummy

[white meadow]

Literal peak

[hardy tartan]

The italicized words mean nothing

[umbral river]

You could make Slurpuff / Magikarp be one of those fish things in japanese desserts that look like fish-shaped cookies

[hot hamlet]

Fish cakes?

[umbral river]

Taiyaki

[hardy tartan]

Mt Moon treasure hunter and any Mt Moon

[umbral river]

this stuff

[vapid violet]

[umbral river]

Yay!!!!

[white meadow]

You beat me to it

Yes it exists

[stuck bane]

Nah but they’re saying like since it’s a digging event at the end you’ll find excadrill or something

Idk how much I buy it though, I feel it’s tied to loss of color in the roles

[white meadow]

The goat is typing

[mystic crystal]

That's made by the talented Quote.Lass. They're a wizard when it comes to Slurpuff bodies

[hot hamlet]

I think it will not be announced until one day before the update just to screw with us

[vapid violet]

can I offer my tinfoil hat theory

[lethal reef]

Honestly slurpuff bodies are why I am hoping it doesn't get in, they are just not it man 😔

[umbral river]

How amusing would it be, if... the missing pokemon... got no announcement...

[hot hamlet]

speak your mind

[vapid violet]

(I am just as clueless as all of yall btw lmao frog is absolutely moving in shadows on this)

[stuck bane]

Sure

[small tiger]

Slurpuff can only do desert fusions lol

tsareena can do a lot of sweets/desert and fashion fusions

[stuck bane]

Yeah your guess is as good as ours

[small tiger]

especially with bounsweet

[lethal reef]

If they get in they get in, but I would prefer anything else

[white meadow]

Oh yeah I agree

Well mainly fashion

[umbral river]

Tsareena is a sweet? huh

I thought it was a berry

[hot hamlet]

missing… no…?
We’re getting M’

[civic harness]

https://www.fusiondex.org/129.329/

[white meadow]

Honestly Tsareena was my second pick after Slurpufd

[hot hamlet]

Mango

[vapid violet]

faded colors, emphasis on comet shard... minior would be a huge W. Two slots could be its crust and core forms

it's most likely very wishful thinking though

[lethal reef]

I think NTM already did a super cool food based Tsareena fusion and it was amazing!!

[small tiger]

oh yeah

[hot hamlet]

… god damn it that’s a third Aegislash I need to consider for a future thing

[vapid violet]

I just really want Minior and Slurpuff lines lmao

[umbral river]

I mean, I wouldn't mind both Slurpuff and Tsareena

Thinking, in the future at this point, but still

[stuck bane]

That was one of our ideas, the other idea we had was melmetal since the colors were fading/rusting:

So far those are our two best guesses

[civic harness]

Another pokemon the you want an probably gets in?

[white meadow]

Slurpuff is necessary

[vapid violet]

Melmetal would be huge

Gamr would go insane LMAO

[lethal reef]

Even if Minior only got in with one form it would be super fun to sprite!! There have been so many cool core and unbroken merged fusions

[stuck bane]

Indeed

[hot hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-gif-14006288

[white meadow]

If you gave the people Tsareena they might not even ride so hard for Salazzle

[umbral river]

We could see what people make with Tsareena first, but I just feel most people would not go the sweets route with Tsareena, but mostly just the fashion route

[stuck bane]

But between the two, if we’re correct, I’d want minior

[white meadow]

But alternatively it could just egg them on

[small tiger]

but it does both

[white meadow]

Minior is just Husky led light pokemon with swirly eyes

People like sfx so they love it here

[umbral river]

Again, we could see what we get with Tsareena

[white meadow]

But it's no Slurpuff

[vapid violet]

ye I just want Slurpuff line because the sweets gives spriters a very fun new concept to toy with that we currently don't really have in other mons (plus belly drum unburden is hilarious)

[stuck bane]

WAIT NAH IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE MELMETAL THE EVENT FOR CARBINK/SABLEYE MENTIONS SHARDS

[umbral river]

But I feel both would ultimately fill their niches together rather than Tsareena carrying both the fashion and confectionary industries

[lethal reef]

Nah Tropius is better for food

[stuck bane]

And it could work too, gather enough meltan shards from rock smash to evolve one

[vapid violet]

👀

spicy

[umbral river]

oh god, farming for meltan shards

[hardy tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/deltarune-undertale-deltarune-chapter2-chapter2-kris-get-the-banana-gif-23225451

[vapid violet]

will admit its really fun not knowing whats cooking though

[umbral river]

Potassium

[lethal reef]

Tsareena is the queen who can do both 💅

[vapid violet]

Frog's sneakin

[stuck bane]

Same

[lethal reef]

POTASSIUM

[umbral river]

Slurpuff / Tsareena

[white meadow]

Tsareena is pretty much just fashion girlboss lets be real

[mystic crystal]

The fact he's sneaking makes me think it's big, but I also don't want to set high expectations haha

[white meadow]

Tropius is bannana mon

[hardy tartan]

Volbeat and illumise

[small tiger]

some ideas if you want

[umbral river]

He's sneaking, it's a, a Pokemon that sneaks in the shadows,

[lethal reef]

No need for the dog. Just tsareena

[mystic crystal]

The biggest of surprises

[umbral river]

They';re adding the GASTLY LINE

WOOOOOOOOO

[lethal reef]

With creativity, you can make Tropius any kind of fruit 🍓

[hot hamlet]

comet shards… which is further hints towards the meteor mon

[white meadow]

The jawbreaker one is interesting

[stuck bane]

Oh thank god I thought you were about to say he who shall not be named ||marshadow||

[white meadow]

Honestly really good

[lethal reef]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

[white meadow]

Im anti Tropius

Tropiss

[umbral river]

EVERONE POST YOUR GENGAr fusions for when gengar hets in the game

holy arceus my spelling tanked

[stuck bane]

There’s arguments from both, but I’m leaning this way since it’s in the actual cave, not outside where minior would fall from the atmosphere

[vapid violet]

Tropius is neat but we have Meganium for that general bodyshape already so kinda meh on that

[lethal reef]

If you think slurpuff is good because it can make sweets you have to think Tropius is good because it makes fruit
A balanced diet is important!!

[hot hamlet]

One last argument. “Searching in Mt. Moon” does not mean in caves, the summit is in the heart of Mt. Moon and needs spelunking to reach

[vapid violet]

(plus the mon itself kinda ass for ingame potential)

[white meadow]

I like fruit but not Tropius

Doesn't Aurorus kind of cover that shape

[hot hamlet]

Tropius has less going for it imo

[white meadow]

As well

[vapid violet]

yeah Aurorus does too

[hardy tartan]

Counterpoint: the utter hilarity of picking a banana and encountering a tropius
Implying you somehow mistook a whole-ass dinosaur for a banana

[hot hamlet]

Slurpuff is general sweets. Tropius is banana

[white meadow]

That's my thing is its basically a meme pokemon

But I dont think its nearly funny enough to warrant getting added

[stuck bane]

Never a lot of natural lighting in mt moon, the first sentence

[hot hamlet]

Turn picking bananas into a -1 Karma activity like the sandcastles and Sandyghast

[white meadow]

Sfx mons deserve priority

[vapid violet]

nah the funniest shit was Bruxish being added

[lethal reef]

NO SFX

[vapid violet]

that was genuinely hilarious

[stuck bane]

Brux was so funny but deserved

[hot hamlet]

We should stop stretching before we both pull something

[umbral river]

My friend got genuinely upset about Bruxish being added

[small tiger]

Tsareena is fruit pastries

[vapid violet]

good

[umbral river]

When I told them

[lethal reef]

Bruxish will never not be the best reveal in PIF history

[white meadow]

Camerupt, Torkoal, Escavalier, Minior, Slurpuff, maybe Castform

[vapid violet]

I'm so glad

[white meadow]

I dont like overdone sfx either

Im quite anti sfx

[hardy tartan]

I don’t even know what the contest is for
Like… fanart?

[umbral river]

Also fun fact, Bruxish has more fusions than the dragon legendaries of Unova

[vapid violet]

fusion sprites

its a spriting contest for the game

[white meadow]

Just can be really visually interesting when a natural part of a mon

[umbral river]

Not combined, obviously, but still

[lethal reef]

Honestly the escavalier /accelegor links would be SICK, they have such spriting potential

[stuck bane]

Like most sprite contests, probably to get carbink’s number of sprites up tbh

[lethal reef]

BRUXISH SWEEP!!!

[white meadow]

Idk if Im big on accelgor

[vapid violet]

I'm eh on Accelegor but Escavalier would be really fun

[white meadow]

The main thing is Accelgor got that big ol pink head

The bandages are cool but other mons could do ninja aesthetic

[vapid violet]

though if we're talking counterparts, I'd love to see Aromatisse alongside Slurpuff for the plague doctor theming

[umbral river]

like greninja when it comes to if in 2048...

[white meadow]

True

Even Carbink

[vapid violet]

Ninjask

[white meadow]

Or Darkrai maybe or yeah ninjask depending on the body

[umbral river]

Me when I wonder who Ninjasked:

[hot hamlet]

Yes. We need more plague doctors than Murkrow and Honchkrow

[umbral river]

There isn't a ninjask emoji

[white meadow]

Shame ninjask is such ninjass for stats

[white meadow]

Im anti aromatisse as well

[umbral river]

I wonder if there's a Plague Knight fusion

[small tiger]

slurpuff/vaniluxe + tsareena could give us Hatterine (in spirit lol)

[white meadow]

An aromatisse spot is a spot taken from others

[lethal reef]

Honestly while I am hoping for Minior I would laugh so hard if the contest ends with you tracking a meteor shard and then finding out it slammed into like, a zebstrika or something.
Congrats Zebstrika comes to PIF!!

[hot hamlet]

Swirlex/Ralts line for the whole set

[hardy tartan]

I know this is a joke, but I was honestly thinking more like the mushrooms and paras

[lethal reef]

Biggest bait and switch possibilities ever

[vapid violet]

the "spot taken from others" strawman is outdated, space is no longer limited with how the game pulls up fusions

[small tiger]

true

[white meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[white meadow]

Yeah but what about the number of pokemon per route

[vapid violet]

who says new mons have to be on a route

[white meadow]

Overcrowding the map when reaching the borders of what the engine handles

[vapid violet]

theres also

[hardy tartan]

Ah
For some reason “entries” made me think of custom dex entries

[vapid violet]

kanto
johto
islands
a lot more

the game is huge fam

there's so many places for shit to go

• new places can be added

[white meadow]

Huge enough for everything

[vapid violet]

one day? maybe

[small tiger]

it lands in a pumpkin patch and a Gourgeist eats it and glows supa bright and thus reveals the addition of Gourgeist in IF lol

[inland jewel]

not to mention there are a lot of NPCs that can just be converted to givepokemon as gifts

[white meadow]

Yeah but that sucks

[inland jewel]

its that or overcrowd routes

[lethal reef]

I mean we get trubbish from a bin, I honestly would love more random events like that for pokemon

[white meadow]

I mean

[vapid violet]

I dont think there's a real risk in overcrowding routes rn with the rate mons are being added. Frog's planning shit out, its not like 500 new mons are gonna get shoved in overnight

[hot hamlet]

They got hungry halfway through and a Slurpuff let them eat some of its sweets for an energy boost. All three continued the dig as friends

[white meadow]

Okay

I trust mod opinion

[hot hamlet]

There’s actually less than 450 left overall

[umbral river]

You're right, 510 new mons over night

[small tiger]

true

[vapid violet]

510 new mons and none of them are Minior

can't wait

[small tiger]

I'd be happy

[umbral river]

And all of them are Minior

[white meadow]

Really wish forg would weigh in though

[hardy tartan]

Okay but
Just possibility, y’know?
The map update made sure to include Olivine and Cyanwood, y’know?

[small tiger]

its all castform

[vapid violet]

"Minior but instead of 7 rainbow colors it comes in all hex codes"

[small tiger]

oh boy! 16 million variations

[hardy tartan]

Nah, I don’t want him to weigh in until the very last second
For lols

[white meadow]

But then we piss away the spots

[umbral river]

From the sounds of the dialogues of Chuck and Jasmine when you go to fight them, their gyms do exist during the events of IF's post-game, so, if they wanted to, they could add Olivine and Cyanwood

[vapid violet]

Spinda
Minior Hex Forms

[hot hamlet]

FUN FACT: there are only 339 missing mons from IF (not counting the ones to be added)

[molten latch]

[inland jewel]

well what do you do in those cities ASIDE from battling the gym leaders?

[hardy tartan]

I’d like them to stay on the Sevii Islands, though

[vapid violet]

visit the shuckle man

[inland jewel]

cause Frogman said he wasn't down to add them till something unique was there

[hot hamlet]

If we count those we are only missing 333 before we have the complete Dex

[umbral river]

Not what I meant

[vapid violet]

olivine has the lighthouse

[umbral river]

They are on Sevii Islands for their own reasons

[hollow creek]

Here's an example of a carbink head fusion

[vapid violet]

idk could come up with something to add to them probs

[hardy tartan]

Nah, I’m agreeing

[umbral river]

But yeah, they could like, do something

[bitter comet]

I wonder how many fusion possibilities there will be once all the mons that can be added are in

[vapid violet]

but hey im not a game dev I just deal with sprites

[umbral river]

The game takes place 3 years before Gold/Silver, they could figure something out

[hot hamlet]

I thought the gen 1/2 divide was two years?

[umbral river]

The uh

||The portal sequence at Mt. Silver says 3 years I thought||

[vapid violet]

A quest to help Olivine construct/renovate the lighthouse could be cool.

[hardy tartan]

🤔 the most obvious thing to be included there would be outfits

[hot hamlet]

Huh

[umbral river]

That'd be fun

[vapid violet]

for cyanwood you could help the secret medicine or w/e guy with his research on creating it. Maybe he needs samples of like Ariados poison etc.

secret potion

w/e the thing you give amphy is

[umbral river]

Olivine gives you a free Gen 6 starter and Cyanwood gives you a free Gen 5 starter

..when they get added to the game in 2048

[vapid violet]

2048 is gonna be a W year

[zealous lichen]

was there any word at all about the two skipped spots?

[vapid violet]

not yet

[molten loom]

If this server is still around I'm going to remind you of this message if 2048 is bad

[vapid violet]

Frog is cooking something up in the shadows

[agile olive]

that's a long way away, I wonder if we will still be using discord then

[vapid violet]

at that point we'll all have upgraded to uploading our souls to the net so we can play infinite fusion irl

every mon (*except minior) will be in and we can fuse in real time

[agile olive]

forget the metaverse, everything will be owned by disney and it'll be the marvelverse

[umbral river]

Only Minior will be in Pokemon IF

The game will actually just become Chao Garden from SA2 but with Miniors

[agile olive]

actually amazing

[molten latch]

Whats up with Mt. MOON?

[inland geyser]

Vote me in next year amigos

[feral bear]

Is there an inside joke on why its called Cyanwood instead of Cianwood in IF?

[inland geyser]

Cyan is a color

[vapid violet]

no idea tbh

[inland geyser]

maybe the gamefreak team misnamed it

and Frog wanted to fix it

[vapid violet]

probs just related to the gen 1 color town names?

[feral bear]

I know cyan is a color but its Cianwood officially

I like Cyanwood better tbh but i am just wondering bc they call it that in gamr

Game*

[inland geyser]

"Cianwood City's real-world equivalent Naruto is actually on a different island of Japan known as Shikoku"

[umbral river]

Maybe Frog just felt like making it Cyanwood

[inland geyser]

[green laurel]

its called cianwood in game?

[hardy tartan]

Rampant speculation

[feral bear]

Yes, its Cianwood officislly

[green laurel]

and in game

[molten loom]

Yellow looks so faded

[feral bear]

In IF it is called Cyanwood

[green laurel]

where do you see that?

[feral bear]

I would have to check but it is mentioned several times as Cyanwood

[hardy tartan]

You’re baby blue

[feral bear]

U can probably find screenshots on reddit

[spice sage]

Nah I'm just dumb lol

[feral bear]

Oop lolol

[hardy tartan]

Otoh, there are consistent typos with “developped” for “developed”
So could just be a mistake

[hardy tartan]

Lol, and the frog weighed in while I was struggling with mobile

[feral bear]

Pokemon english is different its ok

[green laurel]

you know, i think ive just been fixing it in my mind, when i read it in game

[spice sage]

Blame my native language

[feral bear]

Its like British vs American english

[inland geyser]

Which language is that

[feral bear]

Froglish

[spice sage]

French puts double letters everywhere and it pours into my English

[hardy tartan]

Your English is a hell of a lot better than my French lbr

[inland geyser]

Reminder

🫶

[humble lance]

normal carbonk

[hardy tartan]

I feel like there’s a joke to be made with how the Pokémon fusion names eschew double letters but none’s coming to mind

🤔 any more real words we can make with these names?

[molten latch]

My King

[umbral river]

I remember I encountered a fusion in-game called Gender

Unfortunately this is its only custom sprite:

[clear lichen]

Unrelated but wtf that's yellow?

[umbral river]

Oh yeah, the colors are fading

[clear lichen]

I know they are

[hardy tartan]

Carbink/magneton = carton 😌

[clear lichen]

But Jesus that's so unobvious it's not funny

[umbral river]

The yellow one is hit the most cuz it's naturally just close to being white when it's not highlighter color

[humble lance]

mew fletchling is mewling

[clear lichen]

Like yknow the colour that people usually draw bones in?

That's what the yellow colour reminds me of

[hardy tartan]

Yeah, but both of those are already in the game

[umbral river]

There's also a fusion for Math

Which has custom sprites referencing Alan Becker's "Animation vs. Math"

[hardy tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/bones-runmo-gooseworx-animation-funny-gif-25120100

[clear lichen]

Bones

[umbral river]

I think it's the only Alan Becker / Animation vs. reference in IF

But maybe Porygon has one

[clear lichen]

Sans in Infinite Fusion no way

Frisk is already in IF tbf

[umbral river]

I know Porygon2 / Sunflora is Flowey

[hardy tartan]

Yeye, but gimme some real words we can make with carbink, fomantis, jangmo-o, etc

[clear lichen]

And I think they took over Gaster's job as royal scientist

[stuck bane]

Mr. Mo-o

Carb jr is one I def know

[clear lichen]

Idk, Carb jr isn't a real word

It's not even a word it's 2

[fiery elbow]

But Carbink's bodies is any better? At least Slurpuff's bodies you can do a lot. Can't do much with Carbink bodies since it just a mediocre floating rock with eyes.

[stuck bane]

Carbohydrates, shortened to carb(s)

[lethal reef]

Okay but what if the two new mons are solrock and lunatone?

[clear lichen]

I dont think people count shortened versions of words as proper words

[hardy tartan]

Depending how the names break up, jangmo-o/smeargle could get jangle

[clear lichen]

Also I don't think Mo-o is a word

[stuck bane]

Fair enough, better never hear you say goodbye then

[clear lichen]

At least not an English one

[lethal reef]

Yeah carbink bodies are super cute and allow for a lot of creativity! You just gotta think a little outside the (car)box

[proud lion]

Were there any updates on 474/475?

[hardy tartan]

Oh, it’ll be carb-, not car-?

[stuck bane]

Not yet

[clear lichen]

Are you trying to rickroll me

[stuck bane]

Ye, that’s what it says on showdown

[umbral river]

Why would we tell a lie

and hurt you

[stuck bane]

No, goodbye is shortened for “god be with ye”, so if you hate shortened words man you’re gonna have a lot of words nowadays you’ll hate

[hardy tartan]

They’re being pedantic about “goodbye” being a shortened form of “god be with you”

[clear lichen]

I dont hate shortened words

I just like being annoying about things

[lethal reef]

Like how cute these bodies are https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1280636469790375957
