We're moving from the old pif-project thread to this new channel!!

▶️ ➡️ SUBMIT ENTRIES HERE ⬅️ ◀️

ALL POKÉDEX ENTRIES MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

  • Should be 2 sentences or so.
  • Between 100 and 250 characters long.
  • No grammatical/syntactical errors.
  • Nothing that breaks the PIF Server rules.
  • Should make sense in-universe. No direct references to other media, etc.

You can submit entries for ANY sprite, even if they were made by somebody else.
You may only submit entries for fusions that are already in the game and full sprite pack that comes out on the 1st of each month. Use the Fusion Dex to see what sprites are in the game! Do NOT rely on the file names the sprite has in the gallery!

If you want to insert the name of the fusion, type POKENAME. It will be automatically replaced in-game. E.g.: A wild POKENAME is a dangerous Pokémon.

You can see all the entries that have been approved HERE.

#

Submission form explanations

🗃️ You may notice that certain boxes in the sheets are color-coded. The sheet is set up to automatically flag certain mistakes. Being flagged is not an automatic rejection. It just means that an Unown will likely have to fix the errors before it can be accepted.
If your entries tend to be flagged, try to pay attention to the kinds of errors you tend to make. Having to correct entries slows the approval process, so it's better if you can avoid those problems.

Here's a key for understanding the colors:
📕 Pale red: There's a formatting issue. This could be a line break, a space before the first word, or a space after the last period.
📕 Red: The entry is under 100 characters. It's too short and needs a bit more content. The entry may be denied. If you want to add to your entry to remove the red color, contact an Unown.
📙 Pale yellow: The entry has a gendered pronoun like his or such. Make sure you refer to Pokémon as it or they.
📙 Yellow: The word Pokémon in the entry does not start with a capital P, or it has been spelled without the accented é. If you need to type an é, you can copy-and-paste it in, use a spellcheck program to fix it for you, or use alt code 0233 or 130.

This information can also be found in the INFO tab of the pinned sheets. The tabs are located at the bottom of the screen.

POKENAME use their long, blade-like arms to dig into soil so they can plant rows of seeds. The only time they will wield their blades for combat is if someone or something threatens their gardens.

POKENAME are so indolent as to be almost immobile for 90 percent of their life. They lay around in clearings or near civilization, opening their mouth at passersby in the hopes of food being shared with it.

i don't follow, sorry... what are you refering to? @jagged ledge

Despite their reputation for being extremely aggressive, POKENAME prefers to spend its time eating berries and fruits. POKENAME tend to roam in groups of 5-10, and are very protective of their herd.

POKENAME is not very good at flying yet, so it uses its bouncy tail to get off the ground. It tends to freeze up around malicious people and Pokémon.

That was the point of the second sentence

POKENAME uses bioluminescence grains of sand stored in the upper wings to lure unsuspecting prey from the sea to the nearest beachside. It tends to eat light and leave the remains for anyone willing to claim them.

Are dex entries per sprite or per fusion? Like if a pokemon has like 2 or 3 alts do they get their own entry?

is something like changing the &'s enough to bother the unowns to delete those entries so i can resend them or is that something that can easily be fixed in post if they decide to use it?

Hey @regal cedar i saw you tag me in the other dex entries about one of the oricorios that basically what "original Pokename" means Pokename gets changed to the name of the fusión in this case being 2 oricorios the name is oricorio and because it looks like a normal type oricorio i wrote that it looks like the original oricorio

if it doesn't open you up to the right page, go to "pokemon catchable in the wild"

What's the process for getting them approved too? It seems there's a bottleneck in the process of approving them since it looks like the majority of entries on the spreadsheet were marked as unreviewed? Is that accurate?

How can I?

Meanwhile I'm doing the exact opposite and starting from the top of the dex heehee

#

Currently at work rn, but I’ve been musing - do you think some folks might appreciate design notes from spriters? Like the inspiration for the design, etc. i know I’ve been writing entries only for my own sprites to not step on others’ toes + those had design elements that weren’t overtly obvious, and turning vague thoughts into coherent dex entries is a valuable skill
(Please ping, as it might get lost since I have four more hours at work)

That would be complicated

We would new system in place to smooth it out

POKENAME is a popular companion among children due to its playful nature. Scientists believe the peculiar protrusion on its back may be the key to its growth.

This is considered early game mon right?

I aim to stick with Abbadomon but just in case all the entries I write are with ”the_smirker”

I dont think the first sentence "Unlike most Magikarp" makes sense because it implies what you're referencing is a magikarp, and this pokemon is instead a seperate entity. Maybe something like "Unlike most fish, ..."

However has a comma because you're comparing (I cant explain why) so its "However, they do still..." If youre implying because its a fish it cant flop back in, maybe explain? At first glance it feels sorta cut off, if that makes sense

I can't explain exactly why, but something about the first sentence feels a little choppy. Maybe a comma after odor? "When it is washed" just doesnt tickle my brain right, maybe even "when washed 100 times" because you've already established you're talking about the wool item.

Also, why in the world do rich people want a thing with such a foul odor??? If you're trying to make a comparison with the wool garments maybe choose a diff subject, doesnt make sense lol

POKENAME are often found in ancient ruins. Archeological finds from these sites suggest they would often bond with a young child, and would watch over their new partner as they grew up.

Sorry for a slow response, work got busy for a sec! I was specifically writing this through sorta through the lens of actual archeology! "Often" was used because I imagine that would be found in places that don't appear to be actual ruins(as in there is no trace of anything, besides these Pokémon). And I kept the bonding part not 100% concrete because we rarely know what somethings use was in archeology, it's almost always just a best guess based on surrounding context clues.

Tricksters by nature, POKENAME revel in pulling pranks on others. It's thought that the more extravagant their pranks, the more the fusion likes that person. Unfortunately, these fusions are often abandoned due to such shenanigans.

I was thinking of making the evo continue along a similar path. Since Riolu is a friendship evo, and Lucario is able to read auras, their entry/entries would likely include something about it realizing how stressful its pranks were and maybe something about its increased loyalty to the trainer for sticking with it.

needs some tweaking (using 'it' to refer to different things within the same sentence is probably confusing) but something along those lines

I feel like "fiery ball of fire" is a bit much fire and kinda redundant heehee

boreal prairie
#

It is annoying Charmander and Charmeleon are both Char- for their default names

Is skewered too gruesome a word?

also 'is already grasped' feels clunky due to tense, I think. 'is' is present-tense but 'grasped' is past-tense.

Faster than sound, it blazes across the sky as a blue-white ball of flame. By the time its shrill cry is heard, POKENAME's prey is already skewered by deadly talons.

or 'has already been skewered'

boreal prairie
#

Thanks, I think that one is good to submit! 6 down, only 9 more charmander-pidgey lines to go...

final wagon
#

also one more small revision

#

I'm not sure, but 'it' in the first and second sentence might be kinda unknown since we have no prior reference? Replacing it with POKENAME would give future 'it' uses a reference I think, and flow better:

Faster than sound, POKENAME blazes across the sky as a blue-white ball of flame. By the time its shrill cry is heard, its prey has already been skewered by deadly talons.

#

just a thought

#

(could also replace one of the its with 'this fusion' if theres too many its)

boreal prairie
#

Many real pokedex entries only ever say "It" at all since I think they assume you know it refers to the pokemon you're looking at

#

has been my thinking

final wagon
#

fair point

#

haven't read official dex entries in awhile

#

guess now that I think about it, a lot of them just say 'it' or 'its' assuming in reference to the mon unless explicitly stated otherwise

alright, here's the googledoc of spriter notes I threw together (and hopefully a google doc won't violate the rule against file sharing? 🤞)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hgPza4br-FAwj7t9VPAU4g_I4E2nfTRf2nGuMc96S-E/edit?usp=sharing
green is for entries I've already written, grey is entries I'm brainstorming, and everything else is fair game, obv.
Essentially, I'd find these sorts of notes helpful in terms of idea generation or where the spriter was coming from in terms of design.

I don't like the word "whatever" personally

I feel like it could do without the word and make sense still if you were looking to shorten it tbh

When POKENAME battle, they usually do in a one-on-one, gunslinging duel. It frequently has feuds with Octillery

Try pressing and holding on the ' key, and see if it's accessible that way? Older keyboards tended to do that sorta short cut a lot.

"The garden atop POKENAME are made up of seeds from whatever they eat. The hump stores rainwater caught, keeping both POKENAME and their plants nourished."

"POKENAME, when placed in a farm, have consistently taken the role of herding other cattle Pokémon. They are most happy when assisting others or working."

"In the wild, POKENAME have been found in herds of various Pokémon, even species that are more solitary. Many have even been spotted with grass Pokémon growing in their head dish."

Despite its appearance to its much more aggressive cousin Scolipede, POKENAME has a very gentle and kind nature. It often allows children to play on its back, leaving a trail of flowers in its wake

I think the idea of a dex entry gallery (basically, only dex entries, no discussion; similar to sprite/asset galleries) was brought up too but no idea where that'll go

Chargey 4.16

Its feathers are coated in a thin layer of ash. It flaps around wildly when frightened, kicking up a cloud of smoke.
Charotto 4.17
With its tail feathers, POKENAME fans warm embers over the eggs in its nest. When a predator tries to steal its eggs, POKENAME whips up a smokescreen, and slashes wildly with its talons.
Chareot 4.18
POKENAME was once mistaken to be a chubby MOLTRES. By trailing dark clouds of smoke behind it as it flies, POKENAME are used by the military to communicate coded messages across long distances.

(This Char- is a Charmander)

Theme from original entries smokescreen, skittishness, and sand-attack

#

Chargey 5.16

Its small body can hardly contain the rage the burns within. It spouts jets of fires with every chirp.
Charotto 5.17
POKENAME marks its territory by burning a fireline that can only be seen from the sky. A fool who steps across a mysterious trail of ash is likely to face death from above.
Chareot 5.18
Faster than sound, it blazes across the sky as a blue-white ball of flame. By the time its shrill cry is heard, POKENAME's prey has already been skewered by deadly talons.

(This Char is Charmeleon)
Themes from original entries: Aggressiveness, territorial

#

Chargey 6.16

It prefers to fly high above the ground where the air is cold and thin. It is said if POKENAME spends too much time on the ground, its feathers might burst into flame.

Charotto 6.17

Its eyes are 4x more precise than a telescope. From miles above, it reigns down super-hot motes of fire.

Chargeot 6.18

It generates enough heat and air to safely insulate its trainer even at the edge of space. From far below, you might mistake POKENAME for a legendary Pokémon.

(This Char is a Charizard)

Themes from original entries, high flying and long distance vision.

I'd remove the 4x from (Charizard) Charotto, and just say they're more precise than a telescope; the 4x seems a bit random and arbitrary. Also rain, not reign (reign is as in to rule; rain as in conveying someting is falling in large quantities.

Its eyes are more powerful and precise than even the strongest of telescopes. From miles above, it rains down super-heated motes of fire
