dex-entries-discussion

[boreal prairie]

I also think it is fine, I just help people with concision suggestions cause most people only do one draft, and i think there is value in getting real editing advice

[formal rivet]

398.41.png
Due to its diet of old factory machinery, POKENAME has developed a larger metallic body. Their bodies collide when flying in a swarm, creating the sound of grinding gears.

I'll reword the second sentence in a moment, it sounds weird

Wait Klinklang is 337 but klink and klang are 397 and 398

[boreal prairie]

Pokedex entries don't actually use Weasel words much at all because they are strictly limited in character count since it started in Red version. I'm sure the real NoA editors were much more harsh than I with their concision suggestions lol

I do like your idea to do the line with a coherent story I think that is a fun specific potential of this project

[formal rivet]

I like these kinds of dex entries and the ones used in the anime (drifloon for example)

[nocturne shadow]

Any ideas you have to make it better?

Or more imaginative?

Actually, I have an idea

[boreal prairie]

This specific example is actually a valid time to use ambiguous words, because it is showing an admitted contradiction "Perhaps it is friendly, However it runs away" and "the seem to appear" isn't weasel word seem, I think it is literally like, they appear from nothing cause they are ghost.

It is just down to creative taste and I did get defensive, so I apologize. I have been clicking random pokemon to make sure im not just talking from nowhere, and out of the 10 I looked at, One entry said "Many corsola" and a single Magcargo entry said "occasionally". They really do try to be very concise.

[formal rivet]

337.41.png
POKENAME has a voracious appetite for metal, attacking factory machinery in a feeding frenzy. They are considered pests because of the damage they cause in large swarms.

[formal rivet]

It's fine lol, I'm going to edit now that I've done all three

[boreal prairie]

Oh also I think that is interesting that you mention the anime dex entries as an inspiration to you, because that would make sense as spoken language, those kinds of phrases are used a lot more (and are not contained by character count)

[formal rivet]

I love how the anime handles dex entries

okay the first one is now
POKENAME often shelters within abandoned factories, where the remaining machinery acts as its primary food source. Old industrial plants swarm with this Pokémon.

[nocturne shadow]

154.9a.png
(Reimagined)
In ancient times, this Pokemon was diatized as the God of sun because of its shell's illumination and markings. When POKENAME sleeps in an empty field, vibrant gardens grow around it.

This better? Hopefully?

I definitely need to get better at concision, but I hope this is a more interesting idea

[formal rivet]

The second could be
Due to its diet of old factory machinery, POKENAME has developed a larger metallic body. Their bodies collide when flying in a swarm, creating the sound of grinding gears.

[boreal prairie]

Woah this is such a big change! I like it a lot more.

In ancient times, this Pokémon was deified as a God of the Sun because of the [illuminated markings] on its shell. When POKENAME sleeps in empty fields, vibrant gardens grow around it.

small concision suggestions, [this part] might be changing your idea so if so, Easy to switch back

[formal rivet]

and the third is now
POKENAME has a voracious appetite for metal, attacking factory machinery in a feeding frenzy. They are considered pests because of the damage they cause in large swarms.

[nocturne shadow]

Nah, that's a great. Glad it's more worthy of a three stage starter fusion

[boreal prairie]

I still will die on the 'often' hill 😅 but i liked all the ideas you have for them!

[formal rivet]

I'm just using it as a qualifier since they probably don't always shelter there, they just prefer to

I like the idea of them being a common sight in old industrial plants at night

Having to call into work to tell them a klinbat swarm is eating your car

I think the slight concision and the second sentence makes the first entry a lot better

[boreal prairie]

I will give you a thought experiment from my editing class, and then leave it alone for you to decide. If instead of "Daemonkill often eats pizza" I said, "Daemonkill eats pizza," do you think most readers would think the only thing you ever eat is pizza? Food for thought 😉

All that being said, i really do like the ideas in your entries.

[formal rivet]

I do agree in some cases it's redundant

[boreal prairie]

Your first idea wasn't bad, it just didn't stand out as much to me. Maybe you could find a way to reuse that idea too?

[nocturne shadow]

Probably for another grass type

[boreal prairie]

The Pidgey-Charmander line, want a second set of eyes on them. I think 16.6 needs the most work.

117 Pidmander 16.4 The fire on its tail burns brightest on days with clear weather. It hides underground from rain to protect its flame.

121 Pidmeleon 16.5 When the skies are calm, it roosts up high to scan the horizon. To find a blue POKENAME feather is considered very lucky.

190 Pidizard 16.6 Despite is large size, POKENAME only eat nuts and berries. Before it eats, it prefers to toast its meal, but often forgets the intensity of its flames, and all that remains is a pile of ash.

138 Pidgemander 17.4 POKENAME fossils are often mistaken for ARCHEN. In the modern day, POKENAME is one of the most ferocious predators on land and in the sky.

163 Pidgemeleon 17.5 Scientists debate if POKENAME is a bird, reptile, dragon, or dinosaur. There is no question however, that its claws, beak, teeth, and talons are as sharp as swords.

158 Pidgeizard 17.6 Its impressive size is only matched by its cleverness. POKENAME has been observed to drop sharpened stones on prey from above and roast the meat over a fire pit.

112 Pidmander 18.4 Its feathers shine like sleek obsidian. A single plume under your pillow can keep you warm throughout the night.

155 Pidmeleon 18.5 On sunny days, its feathers glow like a shimmering rainbow. In the middle ages, the most illustrious manuscripts were said to be penned by POKENAME quills.

162 Pidizard 18.6 A foreign champion once dissipated a Category 5 hurricane with a POKENAME's gale-force inferno. Wild POKENAME are sometimes mistaken for meteors in the night sky.

the first numbers are the character counts

[formal rivet]

16.6 needs "is" to become "its" and I believe the comma after "before it eats" is unnecessary, but I like the entry

311.186.png
When it rains in a graveyard, one can be certain that a POKENAME is nearby. They bring a melancholy rain wherever they travel, frequenting funerals to pay respects to the dead.

got another random that wasn't taken

politoed has drizzle so rain

[plain seal]

#25.12

After POKENAME stores enough electricity in its pouches, it converts it to paralysing spores spreading them with every flap of its wings. It typically spreads these spores over flowers but it has been seen to use them as defence against attackers and aggressive trainers.

Idk how to do the font lol

[plain seal]

Idk if this is too long

[turbid sundial]

It's a little long but for 16.6 I like "Despite its large size, POKENAME only eats nuts and berries. Before it eats it prefers to toast its meal, but often forgets the intensity of its flames, leaving behind nothing but a pile of ash. It often throws a tantrum afterwards." (232 char)

[turbid sundial]

for 18.6 maybe "streaking across the night sky" instead of "in the night sky" would add some flavor?

[turbid sundial]

for 18.5 I think you want "penned with" instead of "penned by"?

[formal rivet]

63.236.png
POKENAME firmly believes that to be truly strong, it must train both body and mind. It trains every day to become the strongest of all.

64.236.png
POKENAME trains tirelessly to grow its physical and mental strength. Its mental training allows it to bend spoons with psychic power, but it remains physically frail.

64.106.png
Favouring attack over defense, POKENAME uses both its fighting and psychic abilities to overwhelm its opponent. Its training never ceases as it strives to become even stronger.

65.106.png
With massive psychic ability and overwhelming power, POKENAME believes it has become the strongest of all. It fights without mercy, defeating its opponents in moments with a flurry of kicks and a psychic barrage.

[turbid sundial]

It is a little too long I think, I believe the maximum is 250 characters and this one is 270 something. I took a stab at rewriting it: "POKENAME stores electricity in its pouches before converting it into paralyzing spores that it spreads with every flap of its wings. It typically spreads these spores over flowers but it has been seen to use them a defense mechanism."

[plain seal]

Thanks!

I like that

[formal rivet]

64.107.png
Favouring defense over attack, POKENAME aims to grow strong by strategising during battle. It uses its psychic ability to read its opponents, reacting to their moves with the perfect counter.

65.107.png
A master combat strategist, POKENAME reads its opponents' moves before they are made. It uses its immense psychic and physical power to turn every attack against it into an opportunity for itself.

There's currently no sprite for kadabra/hitmontop so I'll have to skip a stage there

64.236.png
Striking the perfect balance between offence and defence, POKENAME becomes a master of battle. It has an answer to every situation, and uses every opening it creates for devastating attacks.

[fair thicket]

🤔 encountered my Farster in the wild, so I've been thinking about this entry again...

POKENAME have traded the wings that most Farfetch'd possess for resilient shells to protect them from predators. They sleep with their shells clamped shut, protecting their soft bodies and precious sticks.

maybe replacing the first "shells" with what these shells are made of?

here's the pic, btw

...calcium carbonate 🤦
yeah, that won't fly smh

i mean, the other term is "exoskeleton", but idk. i don't think "chitinous exoskeleton" will communicate what i want it to

i guess i could do "these shells" for the second sentence?

i guess i could make the first "shells" into "defense"? "resilient defense"?

[dense shard]

sorry guys I was busy at party (happy 2025) any of my last entries need corrections?

[fair thicket]

POKENAME have traded the wings that most Farfetch'd possess for resilient defense to protect them from their many predators. They sleep with their shells clamped shut, protecting their soft bodies and precious sticks.

so wordy
"for resilient defense to protect them from their many predators" there's gotta be a snappier way to put that

"for calcium-rich armor"?

something something they know how tasty they are and chose armor

[dense shard]

267.124.png By creating electric arc at different frequencies between its two tails, POKENAME can compose and play music. There is a war between this species and human Dubstep artists over who invented the genre.

[fair thicket]

something about fervent arguments instead of a war?

[dense shard]

Thanx, I was thinking about that but couldn't put it in words, like "By creating electric arc at different frequencies between its two tails, POKENAME can compose and play music. There are fervent arguments between this species and human Dubstep artists over who invented the genre."

[fair thicket]

mood

could also do "heated arguments" if you want

[dense shard]

289.355.png Moves swiftly, kicks hard and releases spores from its hollow insides. Each spore can steal your soul if you look at them for too long in the microscope.

[fair thicket]

Arguments over the origin of Dubstep can get heated in more ways than one. no don't say that

[fair thicket]

"Hey! Do I peer that closely at your reproductive cells? [possesses you]"

[narrow cosmos]

Part of POKENAME divided and became its young. The child can only transform its face at first, so the parent tutors it in the ways of shapeshifting until its mimicry can become perfect.

[dense shard]

Cute

I was thinking about how to mention mitosis in it, but that entry looks to me perfect as it is

Any help on these entries I made last year? @narrow cosmos @fair thicket

[narrow cosmos]

I did wonder if Mitosis was the right word for it in this case. Alternatively it could be started with something like "POKENAME went through mitosis and produced a child." perhaps. 🤔

[dense shard]

That's why, it's maybe too pretencious, so it seems already good enough to me

[fair thicket]

🤔 is the first sentence from the POV of the pokemon or the dex writer?

[dense shard]

"For POKENAME, if you don't..."

[narrow cosmos]

This might be too wordy, but mayhaps an alternative would be something like "POKENAME's laziness is fueled by its ego, thinking itself too beautiful for exertion. It refuses to listen to any who would tell it otherwise."

[dense shard]

Good, I'll take the second half

[fair thicket]

not sure if the editorialization (i guess i'd call it?) fits within the guidelines for dex entries. you'll have to ask the unowns.

the second sentence... 🤔 they switch between surface and underwater... doing what exactly?

[dense shard]

POKENAME feels just too perfect as a living creature to even need to do anything on its own. It refuses to listen to any who would tell it otherwise.

[dense shard]

I was thinking like "sometimes lazing around on the surface, sometimes lazing around on a swamp, sometimes lazing around on the bottom of the ocean"

[fair thicket]

:nodnod: that's what i thought 🤔 hmm

[dense shard]

Any better way to describe it?

[fair thicket]

Something like POKENAME will move to different locations, but only to try more exotic ways of lazing around
something like that? idk

[dense shard]

Hmm lets see

There's no better excuse to be lazy as having no arms. POKENAME will move to different locations, both on the surface and underwater, but only to try more exotic ways of lazing around.

[fair thicket]

maybe even snappier with The best excuse to be lazy is having no arms.? 🤔

[dense shard]

hmmm, it doesn't sound as compelling, but idk if it's more approvable or not

There's no better excuse to be lazy as having no arms. POKENAME will move to different locations, both on the surface and underwater, but only to try more exotic ways of LOAFING around.

(reference to the truant ability)

so I don't repeat the word lazy

[narrow cosmos]

As it transforms, it uses its psychic powers to also copy its target's mind as closely as possible. This has sometimes lead particularly skilled POKENAME to forget their true form until the transformation wears out.

Its copy abilities have evolved to the point where it can copy a target's mind perfectly, including all their memories. Trainers often have POKENAME help them to remember past events.

Its mind has grown so vast and powerful, it remembers the lives of every being it has become, even when not transformed. Historians believe POKENAME is key to preserving cultural history for the future.

Attempted to make a full line of entries!

[dense shard]

125.124a.png They walk doing frenetic ritmic movements that are very unnerving to see. Even the most skilled dancers have gotten injured trying to imitate them.

[dense shard]

For kadabra you can also mention interrogations, spying, etc

And also they won't likely take Alakazam cause it has no custom sprite

[narrow cosmos]

According to the site it is, it's just a bit harder to tell. One way you can tell is that the spoon is actually stuck into the blobby form there like Alakazam is pudding or something.

I thought the same thing when running through the forms.

[dense shard]

Aaaaa ok then c:

339.122.png POKENAME uses its ribbonlike feelers to tell how can it make you laugh. It's very valued in children hospitals.

[narrow cosmos]

First discovered on Cinnabar Island, POKENAME is theorized to be left over from failed cloning attempts during Mewtwo's creation. Being incomplete, it can only partially mimic the form of the being it was supposed to be.

[fair thicket]

220 characters too. excellent

[dense shard]

352.212.png The thick petals that cover the small roses of its hands are actually muscles that help POKENAME blast high-pressure pollen bullets. A direct hit from these proyectiles has a high chance of making anyone allergic to this pollen.

[fair thicket]

proyectiles native spanish-speaker?
it's projectiles in English

[narrow cosmos]

Created to be a guardian specialized in stealth, POKENAME hide in plain sight as rubble or decor in ruins it resides in. Thieves must beware, as any part of the ancient corridors could come to life and strike them down.

When that dusty old overturned chair you walked past suddenly uppercuts you.

[terse pawn]

I should start writing klink pokedexes

Because it's my fav pokemon

[fair thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[terse pawn]

What are the main characteristics of klink again

[fair thicket]

gear

uhh

[terse pawn]

Ig so

[fair thicket]

plus and minus gimmick

[terse pawn]

Ig his whole shtick is just he's just a giant piece of gear

[fair thicket]

damn. all the official dex entries can fit on a single page?

🤔 there is something neat in there that the pair of gears are pairbonded

[narrow cosmos]

The other parts of the fusion and some really creative embellishment are gonna do some heavy lifting here

[dense shard]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-i-am-yes-i-am-gif-4799231

[narrow cosmos]

Then again, you could say that about a lot of the fusion Pokemon that don't have gimmick Pokemon as part of the halves.

When able to think properly and fully concentrate, POKENAME possesses incredible psychic power. These lapses of clarity are incredibly rare and brief, sometimes going years between minute-long displays of potential.

Hmm, that should probably be "moments of clarity," lapses isn't really the right word. 📝

[fair thicket]

yeye, lapses are gaps

[nocturne shadow]

251.447.png
Containing neither heart nor brain, POKENAME capriciously wanders the earth throughout all time periods. Earliest sightings of this Pokemon were discovered in the Hisui region, though recent rumors detail it walking about in modern day.

[timber flower]

If anyone does a custom entry for one of my sprites do ping me cus I'd love to see it :)

[jagged ledge]

@timber flower How's this?

The rattle of a POKENAME's tail sounds like leaves blowing in the wind. Aside from that, these Pokémon are completely silent as they hunt, darting through the underbrush to strike their prey.

[timber flower]

Ooo awesome!

[jagged ledge]

Thanks!

@timber flower (Sorry for repeated pings, I just like having targets to write for and helping writing entries for people )

It is said that POKENAME could lift the entire ocean using its psychic power. However, it experiences frequent headaches that disrupt its focus before it can properly display its power.

[timber flower]

HA he tries his best XD

Also its fine dont worry about the pings!

[jagged ledge]

Ok cool because there are a couple more I'd like to do lol

@timber flower

POKENAME brings a warming glow to those that encounter it. It is said that POKENAME shimmers in vivid colors before those able to find love in anyone.

[timber flower]

I love these

[jagged ledge]

Thank you! (Also Pan Pride! )

[timber flower]

Yee! I have a pan friend so did it for her :)

[jagged ledge]

Aww that's so sweet lol

@timber flower

It is said that the first POKENAME was a scientist caught in a failed experiment to artificially recreate Grimer. Whether the vial contains an antidote or the contagent that caused the species to spread is unknown.

Significantly less sweet, but I saw too good of a story here lol

[timber flower]

Ooo I love that. Im a sucker for dark stories

[jagged ledge]

Thank you! Unfortunately the one problem with having so many ideas is that I need to go back through the list to check the sprite numbers when I submit them

[timber flower]

Haha good luck with that XD

[jagged ledge]

Luckily I was able to keep them all in different tabs so hopefully that will help lol

@timber flower Probably the last one for now, just because I'm on mobile and I need to actually submit these lol

POKENAME use the spray of bubbles from their body to reflect light off of themselves, creating mirages to blend into their surroundings. If anyone gets close enough to see through the mirage, POKENAME will ready their claws as a warning.

[timber flower]

Oooo thats a cool one!

[jagged ledge]

Well it's a cool sprite lol

[narrow cosmos]

Created when chemical runoff spilled into an unlucky Tentacruel, POKENAME is an undulating mass of toxins and tentacles. The black sludge that drips from each limb can dissolve the toughest material in seconds.

@timber flower I tried, too. 😄

[timber flower]

Oooo- poor tentacruel XD

[timber flower]

Thats surprisingly one of my early sprites lol

[jagged ledge]

Then that's something to be proud of!

Also I fixed up the Sceptans entry a bit.

POKENAME are silent hunters, the rattle of their tails blending in with the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. They expertly navigate the underbrush, only being seen when they strike their prey.

[timber flower]

Nice!

[dense shard]

65.102.png Within a 2km radius around it, every dream involves egg incubators and fried eggs. Once, an angry medium threatened an owner of this fusion with a gun, yelling "Please get your POKENAME in a pokeball! I'm trying to have normal dreams and visions!"

[jagged ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/ron-burgundy-escalated-quickly-gif-9744555

[dense shard]

368.238.png POKENAME loves playing to be an executioner. It creates dolls out of clay and decapitates them with its axe, but tends to cry and get sensible when it really has to hurt someone

Any ideas for the last sentence?

[jagged ledge]

Maybe change sensible to nervous?

[dense shard]

Sounds good, but I'm trying to capture the idea of " Noooo I don't wanna hurt other pokemon "

[hexed fog]

Keep in mind actual pokedex tone. This last part probably would not be in a game dex entry

[dense shard]

441.437.png POKENAME was the first creture to be seen breaking the sound barrier underwater (1500 m/s). Every water-type pokemon around it became deaf for 3 months when this happened.

[dense shard]

The last thing was like a quote, but it can easily be changed

[dense shard]

65.102.png Within a 2km radius around it, every dream involves egg incubators and fried eggs. Once, an angry medium threatened an owner of this fusion with a gun, because it was adulterating his prophetic visions.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME lives deep within the darkest of forests, emitting a faint glow from its lure when prey stumbles near. Those who follow seeking escape from the dark will find themselves soon ensnared in its webs.

@timber flower Another for your pile. 😄

[jagged ledge]

Also all of my entries for said pile have been submitted! 👍

[timber flower]

ooo thats terrifying

I appreciate y'all making entries for my bois ^_^

[narrow cosmos]

It's fun to have an audience for them, plus you made some great sprites!

[jagged ledge]

Agreed!

[narrow cosmos]

Artists wield a great and terrifying power, as they say. XD

[timber flower]

Thank you! I aim to get to 1,000 sprites some day

current goal is 500 for the next role lol

[jagged ledge]

We believe in you!

[narrow cosmos]

You got this, you'll get 1000 before you know it!

Looking at some of your stuff, seems like we have a Treecko line fan, huh?

[timber flower]

Sceptile is my boi lol

fell in love with him when I played Alpha Sapphire as a kid

badass lad

[narrow cosmos]

"Alpha Sapphire as a kid." Aaaaand as a Gen 1 kid I now feel ancient.

[timber flower]

Ahaha sorry XD
I mean Im 24 so Im not that young but I got into pokemon with Soul Silver originally

[narrow cosmos]

No biggie, I'm coming to terms with how old my childhood seems. XD
SoulSilver's a good place to start, you hear so many people saying content quality peaked there, and they were top tier remakes to be fair.

[timber flower]

God yeah I loved Soul Silver. Made Typhlosion one of my favourites too

[narrow cosmos]

Typhlosion's my boi, too, so good taste there.

[timber flower]

My favourite pokemon are probably Sceptile, Typhlosion, Inteleon, Corviknight, Kyogre, Lugia. Those are the guys I consistently try to get in every game

POKENAME wanders the jungles growing fungi. Its secretions act as a great fertilizer for said fungi, but is incredibly toxic to other plants, people and other Pokémon.

[narrow cosmos]

The markings on its torso are actually sensors, which scan foes to read their bio-signs and determine weaknesses. Once analyzed, it calibrates the cannon on its tail to fire energy tuned to be most effective on the target.

Your Genesect/Arbok inspired me.

[timber flower]

the funky lad!

Sounds great!

[narrow cosmos]

Thanks! Your dex work sounds good, too. As is your taste in teams.

[timber flower]

Hehehe

[narrow cosmos]

Its three minds are meant to analyze surroundings in tandem to hasten its functions and increase its strength. Instead, the heads argue over minor discrepancies in their data, delaying the execution of its orders.

[timber flower]

Aahaha omg Im just imagining them arguing that hilarious

[narrow cosmos]

If they could talk normally, just imagine them arguing over really minor details like a 0.001 % difference in air moisture or something.

[dense shard]

199.65.png POKENAME can see the future by looking at the gem of its head using the reflection of its spoons. It always seems relaxed and bored about it, as if nothing ever happens.

[timber flower]

Its immense weight means POKENAME accidentally tramples the forests it travels through. Treedums come along to reseed the trampled lands.

[narrow cosmos]

I passed over this one because nothing came to mind just yet, I like seeing entries that can refer to earlier lines in the fusion.

[dense shard]

If they're about to get KOed by a HydroPump, they'll surely argue over if the attack is made of water or H20

[fair thicket]

another false friend
you're looking for sensitive. "Sensible" means something more like "rational" in English

[timber flower]

After spending years building its sand tower, POKENAME will protect it with immense fury. Inside the tower are the bones of those who have tried to take its home.

[dense shard]

368.238.png "POKENAME loves playing to be an executioner. It creates dolls out of clay and decapitates them with its axe, but tends to cry and get sensitive when it really has to hurt someone"

Thx a lot

[fair thicket]

🤔
POKENAME loves playing executioner. It creates dolls out of clay and decapitates them with its axe, but cries and gets sensitive when it really has to hurt someone.
feel like gets sensitive could have a stronger word 🤔

[dense shard]

idk, susceptive?

[fair thicket]

🤔 you're describing the pokemon basically throwing a tantrum or otherwise sobbing and refusing to obey orders, right?

[dense shard]

Or obeying, but feeling really bad about it

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME prefer volcanic and ashy areas to call home. The flames that emit from its body flicker in accordance to the volcano's dormancy. Should they blaze up suddenly, an eruption is imminent.

@timber flower

[dense shard]

Like a little kid who plays first person shooters. In the game, they would talk and behave like murderous monsters, but they wouldn't even come close to do such things in real life

[fair thicket]

:nodnod: i see

[timber flower]

Ooh that is so cool

[narrow cosmos]

Deep within the ocean depths, POKENAME seeds lush undersea vegetation. It lives within a nest of kelp so thick as to be impenetrable to anything but itself.

[timber flower]

man I am so glad I updated that sprite lol

[fair thicket]

"deep" and "depths" are fairly redundant to be in the same sentence

[terse pawn]

POKENAME carries around a nest of eggs on its back. It protects them fiercely with its vines, whipping anyone who tries to snatch away those eggs.

[timber flower]

I need to update some other old ones

[fair thicket]

🤔 "impenetrable to anything but itself" I can't quite parse what this is meant to mean?

[dense shard]

You can add "Bulletproof" to nest or kelp

Like "Within a bulletproof nest of kelp"

or "Within a nest of bulletproof kelp"

[narrow cosmos]

I was having a hard time trying to get the idea across and word it properly, I admit.

It's meant to say that its nest is a thick load of vegetation so strong that it's the only being that can dive through it to call it home.

[fair thicket]

why "bulletproof"?
who's firing guns underwater?

[narrow cosmos]

People from Palworld.

[dense shard]

Octillery +fusions i guess?

[terse pawn]

Converting sunlight into energy, this Pokemon grows eggs from its bulb which are said to be nutritionally excellent.

and finally

[fair thicket]

i kinda see what you're going for, but i'm struggling to work out the logistics (which might just be a me thing). surely something this big can't penetrate thick masses of seaweed?
but that could be chalked up to being a pokemon thing, i guess

[terse pawn]

Alongside the young, POKENAME also takes in small injured pokemons onto its back, often protecting them and nurturing them back to health.

unrelated but i really really like this sprite

its really adorable

[maiden field]

I would slightly reword to be nutritionally excellent
to said to be of excellent nutritional value.

[narrow cosmos]

I'm glad the idea at least is getting across, I did some editing, what do you think about this?

Miles below the ocean surface, POKENAME seeds lush undersea vegetation. Its home is the center of an undersea forest so vast that none but it have managed to navigate through.

[timber flower]

The seed pod on its back grows throughout its life. Upon death, the seed pod will burst, creating an incredibly lush area of flora.

[fair thicket]

much better! but you do have "undersea" twice

[fair thicket]

"fauna" are animals. did you mean "flora"?

[timber flower]

OOps yeah I meant flora, thanks for pointing that out XD I wouldve missed that

[jagged ledge]

I also started with Soul Silver!

[timber flower]

Did you have that poke-walker thing? I remember being a kid and walking around local parks with that all the time

[jagged ledge]

Yeah but I didn't use it as often as I should have because I didn't quite understand it. I kept being afraid I wouldn't be able to get the Pokemon back into the game lol

[timber flower]

Fair enough lol

[hexed fog]

One of us one of us

[timber flower]

I'm on my way to join the gang!!

[dense shard]

368.124.png Glaring an ominous stare, POKENAME is adamant about bringing a dignified death to its defeated opponents. However, after POKENAME leaves with that weight on its soul, the victim always survives, somehow.

[terse pawn]

hey uh

can someone remove the entry fpr 113.3.png

accidentally submitted it for wrong pokemon lmfao

[dense shard]

go to the forms and just write "PREVIOUS ENTRY IS WRONG"

so they know there was a mistake there

and later put the corrected entry

all with your username

[terse pawn]

do i just use the same filename to type that?

[dense shard]

I guess so, like 113.3.png, lemage22 and "previous is wrong, next is the right one" thing

[terse pawn]

i feel liek that'd sorta flood up the sheets but i'll try

[dense shard]

or just put the corrected entry later, they'll surely understand

[terse pawn]

hmm okay okay

[dense shard]

I now remember that I once submitted the same entry with a correction, so they discarded the original and took the corrected one.

[terse pawn]

any approvers reading this, plsplsplsss remember that second one is actually the correct one 👍

[dense shard]

377.352b.png The heads on POKENAME's arms don't have brains, for their only function is eating and biting. Sometimes, POKENAME "talks" with them like a ventriloquist, making them represent its inner thoughts spoken out loud.

[terse pawn]

Inside the POKENAME's shell contains an internal flame sac, which it uses to heat up water up to its boiling point.

[dense shard]

290.298.png POKENAME changes its color to match the sand it's laying on, waiting for its prey to get close enough. Sometimes, they get so much in character that they forget everything and spend weeks thinking they're made of sand.

[terse pawn]

After years of boiling water inside its shell, steam has enveloped POKENAME's ears and tails completely. It also surrounds the pokemon's neck, forming a mane-like cloud around it.

Contrary to popular belief, this pokemon is known to fire clouds of boiling steam. It usually uses such ability to cook its usual prey, mollusk pokemons, boiling them completely in the matter of seconds.

[dense shard]

What would be "the popular belief"?

[terse pawn]

well

most people would just expect it to fire boiling water

[dense shard]

Ah ok

[terse pawn]

I was wondering do you guys just press random option in fusiondex and make an entry for that pokemon

if so, do you guys also make entries for its evolution/pre-evolutions too?

[dense shard]

237.98.png The first time that POKENAME gets turned around, it gets desperate, thinking he won't be able to get up. After a couple of minutes, they realize about their natural talent of spinning over their heads.

[dense shard]

I usually give priority to the pokemon of my party, pouring my headcanons into the description

[terse pawn]

ah fair

i should really do it too

it'd be really cool if people started to make entries for their team whenever they finish a run with em

[dense shard]

237.99.png Having one claw heavier than the other really bothered POKENAME at first, but then it got used to it. It puts the heavy claw over its abdomen to gain rotation speed, then releases it combining the weight of the claw and the momentum generated.

106.98.png Its technique consists on grabbing the opponent with its claws while throwing a barrage of powerful kicks. POKENAME walks sideways doing little jumps.

106.99.png POKENAME no longer uses its legs to kick its opponents, but it loves posing as if he did. What it actually does is "kicking the ground" to power up the blows of its heavy claw and perform wrestling shots thanks to its grip.

[final wagon]

Reminder that referring to a fusion uses "they" or "it" rather than gendered (even if with gender locked mon, the fusion isn't)

Looking solid otherwise though

[dense shard]

107.98.png Despite its powerful grip, POKENAME feels like it would be cheating to use it. Anyway, because of how weak their arms are, they end up using that strenght to power up its punches.

107.99.png POKENAME creates deafening shockwaves by snapping its powerful claws. This is how they usually make their opponents faint without landing a single punch.

[fair thicket]

[dense shard]

99.333.png POKENAME cuts its own claw to feed its offspring. So, the babies are left alone for some time, well fed, while POKENAME goes hunting and regenerates it.

[dense shard]

121.213.png Their overly complicated method of hunting consists on creating delicious juices that give giant kidney stones to those who drink them, so they become easier prey. These kidney stones are highly valued in jewelry.

[hexed fog]

94.354a.png POKENAME often masquerades as a Lopunny to unsuspecting Trainers, running away for the Trainer to chase and catch them. During the chase, Trainers will hear voices of their departed loved ones, begging them to stop chasing the "Lopunny" in terror.

@willow venture is this the right sprite?

[dense shard]

242.281.png POKENAME is a natural prankster, as it will grow an unfertilized egg and gift it to someone, just so it can smash it with a powerful kick and cover the victim in white and yolk. It will laugh for weeks of that prank, then repeat it on someone else.

[past cypress]

In the wild, POKENAME frequently argues with its other heads via telepathy over which direction to go next. Ironically, this leaves POKENAME motionless for hours at a time, leaving it open to attacks.

POKENAME is known to possess an ability to communicate through telepathy, not only with its own heads but with other creatures as well. Each head has a distinct personality, and will often argue with one another for hours at a time.

Which is better?

[manic blaze]

if anyone want to make entries with my sprites im allowing it

[past cypress]

Sure I can look at them and write a few

[past cypress]

For a long time, scientists were unsure if POKENAME actually existed due to its prominent worship in some cultures. They are said to arrive before the birth of a benevolent ruler to bring peace to the lands

@manic blaze what do you think about it? I saw a lot of inspo on kirins in its design so I kinda just copied that formatting

[dense shard]

357.496.png A cursed pupped absorbed all the fear and despair of a student that struggled to pass his exams. So, its oath is to bring that suffering to the teachers of that school for centuries.

[willow venture]

Yeah it should be this

[past cypress]

Often nicknamed as a gentle giant, smaller Pokémon tend to follow POKENAME around for their friendship and protection. Wherever it travels, entire ecosystems and flower fields sprout in its place.

[hexed fog]

I dont think anyone would get confused if the purple fella in the sprite is a real lopunny...

[dense shard]

338.171.png It projects holograms in the deep sea to lure prey and scare predators. When it feels lonely, POKENAME uses that power to create imaginary friends.

[past cypress]

POKENAME has recently become a large icon in the fashion world for its beautiful patterns and coloring. Entire shows dedicated to this Pokémon have recently become trendy among the wealthy

[jagged ledge]

@manic blaze

Said to contain lost knowledge of ancient dreams, POKENAME are able to command the sands as they wish. Their knowledge is vast enough to know the history of every shifted grain of sand.

[past cypress]

Ayee its Bard from League

[jagged ledge]

Oh I just thought it looked like a cool genie lol

[past cypress]

Yeah Bard from league has a whole lore and stuff

[jagged ledge]

I only vaguely know League

[past cypress]

Don't touch the game or else you'll lose all your youth and innocence trust me bro

[dense shard]

119.467.png Its pirouettes, jumps and acrobatycs look gorgeous to see underwater. However, it tends to look dumb when trying that on the surface, due to the gravity and how heavy its fins become.

[hexed fog]

If you guys are running low on ideas, why not go into detail on how a pokemon's fur/fin/spines are used in creating other versions of canon items with more/less potent effects?

Here is a list:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Item#Medicine
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_items_by_name

[jagged ledge]

I played three bot rounds after watching Season 1 of Arcane, oohed and aahed at the character design, tried a match against actual people, haven't touched it since

[dense shard]

119.466.png Its chant is heard underwater as a perfectly tuned caress to the soul that a whole ocean will feel. However, on the surface,
it sounds like a wet balloon being deflated.

[past cypress]

For many generations, POKENAME was cast aside in Pokémon contests due to their ugly appearance. However, in recent years others have started to find POKENAME charming and built clubs around raising them

[jagged ledge]

@manic blaze Would you like me to edit this to try and more accurately reflect the character you referenced?

[manic blaze]

It's fine the way you guys prefer

[past cypress]

Bard's lore in league is pretty cool ngl

[jagged ledge]

I think I'll try out a second entry. Worst comes to worst I'll submit both.

[past cypress]

A traveler from beyond the stars, Bard is an agent of serendipity who strives to maintain the harmony between creation, and the cold indifference of what lies beyond it. Many Runeterrans sing songs that ponder his extraordinary nature, yet they all agree that the cosmic vagabond is drawn to artifacts of great magical power. Surrounded by a jubilant choir of helpful meeps, it is impossible to mistake his actions as malevolent, as Bard always serves the greater good… in his own odd way.

Basically in the game he's a support character that has multiple little guys called meeps following him around, he summons portals to help allies

[dense shard]

Sounds a good premise, let's see what it comes

[jagged ledge]

Songs are sung that claim these Pokémon are ancient relics from beyond the stars. Always gathering a collection of odd relics, these Pokémon share their knowledge and gifts with people in ways known only to them.

[hexed fog]

remember guys, (in canon) pokemon have never been seen laying eggs.

as dumb as it sounds, dex entries should not be about birth/laying eggs because it doesn't match established pokemon canon

still super confused how kangaskhan babies are ever formed but like whatever

[dense shard]

124.265.png The ice shards that POKENAME blasts have a higher enthalpy of fusion (641.29kJ/kg) than normal ice, though they're made of the same water. Scientists are still confused, while bartenders use them in luxury cocktails.

[dense shard]

In my description about Blissey/Blaziken, I say that the pokemon just produces the eggs, that those are not fertilized (so no pokemon can come out of those, can be cooked and eaten)

It's assumed that behind the creation of that egg there's the same mistery as other eggs, right?

[dense shard]

(this one)

[hexed fog]

I'd say 'somehow creates'

avoid 'fertilized'

[dense shard]

UNfertilized

[hexed fog]

same thing

[dense shard]

Which means is just an egg, not a pokemon egg

[terse pawn]

POKENAME's wings contains patterns resembling eyes, which are known to frighten away its predators. Along with its venom, it also uses the vibrations from the wings to hunt its prey.

[hexed fog]

hmmm I need a second opinion on this, @regal cedar I really feel like you can just avoid unfertilized all together

since we have no canon that pokemon even fertilize eggs

because pokemon lore makes no sense

`January 1st, 2025

I had a discussion about Pokemon egg fertilization. I died a bit inside as a 35 year old man.`

[dense shard]

Hmm, let's see

In Chansey's dex entries they insist on now nutritious and delicious the eggs are

[terse pawn]

yea

I wrote some of em so i know!

[dense shard]

And other dex entries say that they would share them with hurt pokemon and people

[regal cedar]

FAQ 41, eggs are known to come from two pokemon and that's how they reproduce

[terse pawn]

i have NO CLUE how they got those eggs tho

oh shit they do lay an egg

speaking of which

[hexed fog]

true

[terse pawn]

i was wondering does breeding between two pokemons would result in the offspring being a fusion of em?

[dense shard]

Shining Pearl dex entry: "It lays several eggs a day and won't share them with those who have evil in their hearts."

[terse pawn]

because i cant imagine Chansey out of ALL POKEMONS laying a goddamn egg

[regal cedar]

That said, man, that's brutal.
Maybe just leave out unfertilized? The egg Blissey carries is not the same as a Pokemon Egg.

[hexed fog]

LMAO

[dense shard]

Legends Arceus entry: This purehearted Pokémon shares its eggs with the injured. These eggs are so nutritious that they've been nicknamed "doctors' doubles."

[hexed fog]

yes we dont doubt it has an egg

there is no confusion that it has an egg

lol

[terse pawn]

i just like to think its like how plants got like little fruits and stuff

like its meant to attract animals and alike to eat them and spread the seeds

and chansey got them too

because its smth like that too

[hexed fog]

it just generates over and over in the pouch, like some kind of unhinged pokegacha

[dense shard]

So, if she shares her eggs with injured people so they can eat them and recover, it would be kind of disturbing to assume them as "fertilized eggs"

[terse pawn]

I like to think that it isnt actually eggs per se

its just smth nutritious that she produces to feed injured people, like how cows can produce like milks for the young

[dense shard]

Like bruh, are you sacrificing your children to help some random who got injured?

[hexed fog]

just avoid saying fertilized and unfertilized. save your brain and just write eggs

[hexed fog]

chansey casually sacrificing its first born for a toddler's scraped ankle

god this conversation is weird af

I'll let bobo approve egg entries from now on

[dense shard]

"Eat my children, it will make you feel better... just trust me ok??"

[hexed fog]

I'm done haha

[dense shard]

well, all of that said, just "eggs"

[fair thicket]

i mean
chicken eggs aren't fertilized

[terse pawn]

you know how teddiursa just licks its paw

[chilly horizon]

my chansey being depressed because it lost its only child to a person that decided they could wall jump

[dense shard]

EXACTLY what I was talking about

[terse pawn]

I like to think that this little guy just licks its paw containing the blood of his opponents that he just beated the crap out of

[dense shard]

Sounds both cute and edgily badass

[terse pawn]

but i dont know how to word it

without making it sound extremely graphic

[fair thicket]

how about just
"will gift its egg to someone"
no mention of fertilization at all
(if this is indeed the entry being discussed)

[dense shard]

The blissiken one stays "POKENAME is a natural prankster, as it will gift its egg to someone, just so it can smash it with a powerful kick and cover the victim in white and yolk. It will laugh for weeks of that prank, then repeat it on someone else."

[chilly horizon]

POKENAME regularly beats up bottles of ketchup to get to the precious liquid within it. Due to a lack of fingers it has to lick the blo- ketchup off of its fists.

(this is a joke)

[fair thicket]

even "will gift its nutritious egg to someone"
focus more on the "pie in the face" analogy than any thoughts about pokemon egg fertilization

[hexed fog]

yeah lets jsut stick with that lol

[dense shard]

lil bro sharing his "ketchup" to Ash's Pikachu until he realizes "bro... that does not taste like ketchup "

[fair thicket]

<@&306953740651462656> looks like spam

[terse pawn]

POKENAME is regularly known to challenge Pokemons that are ten times its size, always taking delight in licking the same forepaws it has used to defeat its opponents with

[terse pawn]

genuinely peak btw

[dense shard]

This one I'm just slightly tweaking it to "The ice shards that POKENAME blasts have a higher enthalpy of fusion (601.29kJ/kg) than normal ice (333.55kJ/kg), though they're composed of the exact same water. Scientists are still confused, while bartenders use them in luxury cocktails."

[dense shard]

Thx 😄

[jagged ledge]

I'm gonna submit this one if everyone thinks it looks good

[dense shard]

Sounds epic

[jagged ledge]

Thanks

[chilly horizon]

maybe find a different word for relic

otherwise this reads well

[jagged ledge]

Well I was trying to incorporate it being a Golurk and not just an alien

[chilly horizon]

mhh i see

still, wouldnt artifacts work for the second "relic" ?

[jagged ledge]

Ah ok good call

Songs are sung that claim these Pokémon are ancient relics from beyond the stars. Always gathering a collection of odd artifacts, these Pokémon share their knowledge and gifts with people in ways known only to them.

[chilly horizon]

the reason i point it out is that it feels odd to me that they are relics, while also collecting relics. its not unheard of but it feels rather clumsy

[jagged ledge]

I think what happened is I meant to say artifacts but I wasn't entirely sure how long the sentence would be so I said relics to save characters and sound cool and just forgot I already used it lol

[chilly horizon]

oh yeah i can see that

[jagged ledge]

So thanks for catching me lol

[chilly horizon]

i try, from time to time

[dense shard]

123.182.png POKENAME moves around dancing, cutting grass with the scythes of its dress like a lawnmower. To prove itself before mates, it will do pirouettes around bushes, sculpting from them a nice shape.

[high shore]

Currently working on one of old fusion's dex entry, Here is what I have so far.

Despite appearing like Boxing Gloves, the hands of POKENAME are many leaves that they collected and compacted to help protect their hands. POKENAME uses their ears for photosynthesis and to hear the crunchiness of the leaves around them. If a leaf is not crunchy, POKENAME will gather it to compact it into their hands, like hand wrapping. If their leaves dry out, POKENAME will search for the nearest body of water to temporarily wet their leaves before searching for new leaves to add to their hands.

[boreal prairie]

Its boxing gloves are a compacted bundle of leaves that help protect its hands.

POKENAME's photosynthetic ears listen to the crunchiness of nearby leaves. It gathers the least crunchy leaves to wrap its hands.

If its leaves dry out, POKENAME seeks out the nearest body of water to temporarily wet their leaves, then searches for new ones.

This is rather long, but here is the most concise I can make the individual ideas.

[dense shard]

267.110.png If POKENAME gets angry enough, it will expell poisonous gas. Most of the time, in battles, it will try to fill the air with 75% Argon and 25% CO2 for a better conductivity of electricity.

[high shore]

Thank you, would it be okay if I submit the changes you added?

[boreal prairie]

Definitely! I'm still tinkering a little to see how much I can trim it down haha

[dense shard]

(this is the mostly used formula for Metal Inert Gas Welding)

[high shore]

Okay, no worries. There isn't a rush for submitting it. Thanks for the help

[boreal prairie]

You're welcome! I'll leave it how t is now. Double check if there are any weird artifacts from my slicing and dicing. I'm not sure if its under the character limit yet still but it should be close.

I might cut the last little tag about searching for new leaves, just to save space, and since the middle idea already talks about how it looks for new leaves

[high shore]

The Guidelines for Entries are:

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.

[dense shard]

215.77.png POKENAME adores crime, and cherishes the dream of helping its trainer get away from the forces of law. It will take the strongst of wills and purest of hearts to raise this fusion in the ways of justice and the goodhearted actions.

[boreal prairie]

Here it is at 242 characters You might want to take out the other POKENAME for "it" just in case.

Its photosynthetic ears listen to the crunchiness of nearby leaves. It gathers the least crunchy leaves to wrap its hands like boxing gloves. If its leaves dry out, POKENAME seeks out the nearest body of water to temporarily wet their leaves.

[dense shard]

151.98.png POKENAME was discovered when Mew spontaneously generated a Krabby to fuse with. This event started the belief among scientists that everything will eventually evolve into a crab.

333.110.png POKENAME can expell atomically fractioned iron powder that practically behaves like a gas. Because it knows how cruel is to submit any living creature to this attack, POKENAME will only use it against Tyranitar or any fusion that involves it.

[hexed fog]

460.321a.png POKENAME are often used as combatants for wealthy CEOs. They use their rocket launchers to jump higher, which often results in them getting hurt.

Can you advise what you mean by this? @astral ruin

[turbid sundial]

Direct media reference to the soldier from TF2, but so is the sprite

[hexed fog]

would you be able to rewrite this to make it a bit clearer? we wouldn't want a pokemon reference to be completely about attacking ceos in a pokemon game... for obvious recent media reasons

[dense shard]

LMAO

[chilly horizon]

im pretty sure they meant by, and not from

[turbid sundial]

Haha I'm not the one who made it, I just know the reference 😅 in TF2 the characters are all mercenaries employed by rival CEOs fighting over resources. Technically if you wanted to be truly pedantic the entry is slightly incorrect as the sprite seems to be using the rocket jumper which doesn't actually deal any damage, so the bit about "often results in them getting hurt" is slightly incorrect to people who know TF2 well. Unless the author was referring to fall damage maybe, but they didn't make that obvious in the dex entry they wrote.

[hexed fog]

ehhh lets just deny it for now

they can come up with a more creative entry lol

[turbid sundial]

haha yeah probably

[hollow nimbus]

While you're here, lemme ask you a question

[near latch]

Ok guys, I'm gonna make some custom entries for some of my more... questionable fusions I've done in the past. Lemme run em by you guys here before i post em k?

[hollow nimbus]

The heat radiating from POKENAME keeps the hot springs of Kin Island at a perfect temperature. Locals believe its presence is essential to maintaining the springs' soothing properties.
This is your entry for Bewear/Magmar
Did you mean to say Kin Island instead of Kindle Road?

[dense shard]

460.321.png (base, not the joke alt) POKENAME is known as the defender of sand castles made by children. Only the sea has the right to claim the shape of the art made of sand, otherwise, the responsable will regret it.

[hollow nimbus]

Kin Island doesn't have any in-game onsen

[hollow nimbus]

Only two critiques:

One, I think it will read more smoothly if you remove the the from before sand castles

[dense shard]

"For POKENAME, only the sea has the..."?

[hexed fog]

Kin Island can be seen in the Pokemon Infinite Fusion wiki

[hollow nimbus]

Two, otherwise is not a conjunction, so you need to either separate that into multiple sentences or replace it with or

[hollow nimbus]

Yep, I've got it open

[turbid sundial]

Also I think "those responsible" may sound better than "the responsible"?

[hollow nimbus]

But there's no hot spring there
The hot spring is found elsewhere

[dense shard]

"...the art made of sand, or those responsable for such sacrilege will regret it."

[hollow nimbus]

Hm. Sorry, two more critiques
You should also remove the the from before art for the same reason as before
You misspelled responsible

[hollow nimbus]

I just need to know if you meant that there's another onsen on Kin Island that it stays at, or if you meant the in-game onsen at Kindle Road

[hexed fog]

feel free to change it if you'd like. I assumed since it's an island town there would be a hotspring that the player cant get to. much like how there places have stuff inaccessible

[near latch]

The main body has no mind on it's own. POKENAME is often used as a hat rack in fancy restaurants.

[hexed fog]

honestly you know me. I'm cool with whatever

[dense shard]

POKENAME is known as the defender of sand castles made by children. For POKENAME, only the sea has the right to claim the shape of art made of sand, otherwise, those responsible for such sacrilege will regret it.

[hexed fog]

(as long as it gets an entry)

[hollow nimbus]

Sure, as long as I know your intention

[hollow nimbus]

Wrong its

Otherwise, looks good

[hexed fog]

I promise it's rare that I care THAT much lol

90% of my entries are word vomit that sounds acceptable

Oh, another question

What is St Fleur City?

[near latch]

The main body has no mind of its own. POKENAME is often used as a hat rack in fancy restaurants.

[near latch]

is this better?

or should it be the other way aroud?

[hollow nimbus]

Looks good

[hexed fog]

What was I on?

yes

[hollow nimbus]

I'll change it

[near latch]

Bet

[turbid sundial]

I like it, here's a slightly longer version I made (just under character limit): "POKENAME is known as the defender of sand castles made by children. It believes that only the sea has the right to claim the shape of art made of sand – those sacrilegious enough to destroy it while POKENAME is near will soon live to regret it."

[dense shard]

Even better, I'll submit it again, and thank you

[near latch]

By taking advantage of its high intelligence and the milk its body produces, POKENAME prepares a healthy breakfast for its trainer.

It excels at rounding up rampant hordes. Where it acquired its hat and boots remains a mystery.

POKENAME is a popular dish in fancy restaurants. It lives a life of constant agony. (Alternatively just make it say "It lives a life of constant pain and agony." and nothing else lol)

[dense shard]

I don't think it checks the character count

[near latch]

No I just thought it'd be funnier to keep it short like that.

"It's mere existance is one of constant pain and suffering."

[dense shard]

so you can ad something like "But it's not for lactose intolerants" or smth like that

[near latch]

Or or OR

It IS lactose intolerant

[dense shard]

Nuuuu durisimo

[hexed fog]

I'd say say it is used in a specific fish-based dish to give it more content

[near latch]

hmm

I just checked and someone already made a dex entry for it

[dense shard]

HE is the dish

[near latch]

where it supposedly begs its creator to unfuse it upon creation

lmao

[hexed fog]

oh then dont worry about it

[near latch]

good call

[hexed fog]

LOL

[near latch]

yeah easy skip, its already great

[hexed fog]

taldor grab stuff off the wild list if you want things to work on

[near latch]

any feedback on alakazam and the duck?

[dense shard]

i mean look at that thing

[hexed fog]

it's the best way to avoid anyone touching yours

[turbid sundial]

It would be funny if you added "The source of the flakes is a mystery." as a second sentence at the end

[near latch]

im working on my own fusions rn

[dense shard]

it BEGS to not exist

[hexed fog]

oooh smart!

[near latch]

I want this to give people milky dreams or something

[hexed fog]

dreams where they do nothing but drink milk

thatd be awful for us lactose intolerant folks

[near latch]

It haunts lactose intolerant people with milky nightmares.

Fun fact I am lactose intolerant irl lmao

[hexed fog]

I'd say milk-filled

rather than milky lol

[near latch]

isnt milky funnier

[turbid sundial]

"its victims often wake with upset stomachs"

[hexed fog]

funnier but keep in mind pokedex tone

[near latch]

fair

It shows up at night to give people milk-induced nightmares. Lactose intolerant people are considered high priority targets.

How's that?

POKENAME is frequently used as traffic cones by construction workers.

It emits a putrid odour as a result of being locked in a cellar most of its life due to its grotesque appearance.

It uses the frozen dairy in its body to create snow. Its just a silly little friend.

[dense shard]

the kind of dreams bro forces people to have

[near latch]

😩

[timid sky]

Darkrai gives nightmares, not dreams

[chilly horizon]

some dex entries say it gives people dreams

while others specify its nightmares

[hexed fog]

Someone quick make a steel pokemon entry where portions of their carapace are used in creation of frying pans

I want it

But I'll forget by the time I'm home

[chilly horizon]

"Clearly you don't own an air fryer" Gary Oak said to the player

[hexed fog]

I give my task to you

Make me proud

[chilly horizon]

FUCK lmao\

uh okay time to look for a fitting fusion

[hexed fog]

Steelix

Lol

Just grab a wild one lol

[ebon warren]

If Registeel/Kommo-O doesn’t exist then it needs to be made. Those metallic scales are ideal

[chilly horizon]

trying to find it on the website or the google sheets but damn the site doesnt cooperate with me

[dense shard]

The composition of this pokemon is known for being a mix of saturated contaminant refrigerants, like Freon 134a and NF3. When it loses pieces, they evaporate and damage the ozone layer.

448.89.png

[ebon warren]

Which website? Daena doesn’t have the new Pokémon yet I’m pretty sure.
Check the #sprite-gallery

And you can also request it too, which is actually suggest to @hexed fog

[chilly horizon]

fusiondex.org and im using the google spreadsheets too... which probably means they arent on there yrt

anyways i did write one up for another pokemon:

[dense shard]

There's also https://infinitefusiondex.com

[chilly horizon]

POKENAME are highly sought after for their body composition, as the metals contained within them allows for the production of the highest quality of stainless steel frying pans. Fortunately no POKENAME come to harm for this as they regularly shed their skin, leaving a perfectly usable carapace behind.

Its a LITTLE too long as of right now

but ill work on that

its honestly just the first sentence being a bit hefty so i gotta look into how to cut it down

[boreal prairie]

The metal skin of POKENAME is harvested to produce high-quality stainless steel frying pans. Fortunately, it need not be harmed in the process, as its frequently shed carapace is pefectly suitable.

Edited down a little with some concision suggestions, but it still needs some clean up I think.

edit: pretty close now I think.

[chilly horizon]

i went with

POKENAME are in high demand for the metals inside their bodies, which allow for the production of first-rate stainless steel frying pans. Fortunately they regularly shed their carapace, eliminating the need to harm them for that precious resource.
But i do like your version a lot too

( i didnt send it yet, i only edited my first draft)

POKENAME are in high demand for the metals inside their bodies, which allow for the production of first-rate stainless steel frying pans. Fortunately they do not need to be harmed in the process, as their frequently shed carapace is sufficient.
Mhhhh...

POKENAMEs metal skin is harvested to produce high-quality stainless frying pans. Fortunately they do not need to be harmed in the process, as their frequently shed carapace is perfectly suitable.
Also an option... im only making this worse for myself right now lol

im just submitting something before i sit at this for 5 hours lmaooo

[hexed fog]

I am taking a break until we get caught up lol

[chilly horizon]

REALLY liked the first draft but the stinky character limit... why wont you let me write a novel for each entry smh

[hexed fog]

POKENAME is highly valued for the metal in its composition, which is used to craft premium stainless steel frying pans. Luckily, no harm comes to POKENAME, as it regularly sheds its skin, leaving behind a perfectly usable carapace.

how about this

[chilly horizon]

fgsdjkhgsdhkjfl i already submitted the one im responding to

i wanted to avoid using POKENAME twice in quick succession

my editor has killed me plenty of times for using a name in two sentences in a row lmao

[hexed fog]

Lol that's fine

[chilly horizon]

anyways, time to make an entire series of "metal production" pokedex entries

[hexed fog]

As long as the frying pan entry exists i am elated

We need one for residential radiators

And tire irons

We have a butt ton of pokemon. Let's get industrial

[chilly horizon]

one of those sand mons is probably good for glass production

[hexed fog]

Telescopes!

Aquariums

Lol there's so much

[chilly horizon]

it would give us a fresh air too, cause i can personally only come up with so many silly ideas for their abilities

[hexed fog]

thats what I like to see

let the creativity flow!

now I shall go back to approving

[chilly horizon]

i wonder if i can put an ff14 fishing reference into one of the sprites, i just gotta hide it smart

[fair thicket]

ooh, my golvenant and glasola entries have been approved

[hexed fog]

130.369.png Upon the first recorded fusion of POKENAME, it leveled 10 miles straight from shore to land. Seriously, who thinks giving a rage-fish a battle mech is a good idea?!

Can you clarify more on this? It is very vague @still jetty

[boreal prairie]

It consumes biomass to synthesize high octane hydrocarbons. The possibility of exploiting this feature quality to replace fossil fuels is heatedly discussed hotly debated.

very minor edit suggestions

I always forgot to reply when i copy/paste lol

[timid sky]

Should be they’re not useless (the at all probably isn’t necessary) not they’re no useless

[fair thicket]

POKENAME is too heavy to be carried by its wings, but that doesn't mean they're useless: their flapping spreads sticky burning scales that inflict severe pain on its enemies.

[dense shard]

SPLENDID

[fair thicket]

or to make sure the antecedents are properly parseable, perhaps this Pokemon's enemies rather than its enemies?

[dense shard]

Uh, I think i've seen plenty dex entries using "its enemies"

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME is too heavy to be lifted by its wings, but they're not entirely useless. When flapped, they spread sticky scales that inflict severe burns on its enemies.

Already very concise, some small suggestions. Though, I am wondering if "to big to lift with its wings" is imaginative enough for such a cool fusion. I like the buring sticky scale part though.

[fair thicket]

yeah, but we have a "they" referring to the wings and an "its" referring to the pokemon itself
this way we omit the potential for a reader to confuse which pronoun refers to which antecedent

[dense shard]

I'm taking half and half. "POKENAME is too heavy to be carried by its wings, but they're not entirely useless. When flapped, they spread sticky scales that inflict severe burns on this Pokemon's enemies."

Thx a lor

[viscid light]

@sonic lintel

With their anger finally tamed, POKENAME manipulates its' flames to produce wings of memory-incinerating flames. If provoked, POKENAME lashes out with strikes that rends both body and mind apart.

267.267.png Fusion energy has fused it with its dormant DNA. POKENAME can now fully harness both the power of Alternating Current and Direct Current, to exert an incredible amount of violence.

[near latch]

I just submitted like 40 dex entries for most my old fusion on a whim

Some really good material in there

[fair thicket]

the first sentence doesn't make much sense

[near latch]

I really like the one that says that nobody likes miltank/deino, and that miltank/deino is never invited to parties. Then miltank/zweilous overcomes its loneliness by growing a second head, but the second head doesnt like the first head, and only the second head gets invited to parties.

[fair thicket]

and then miltank/hydreigon is the party?

[near latch]

no, miltank/hydreigon is a firefighter

it puts out fires using its three udders

[viscid light]

@sleek wagon

Given the appearance of this Fusion, researchers to this day are questioning the connection between the Ralts and Magnemite lines. POKENAME, as well as anyone who trains Pokémon in both lines, confirm these newly-made theories as incorrect.

[near latch]

despite being an affront to nature, miltank/koffing is always smiling. Its smug aura mocks me

[near latch]

I like this

[dense shard]

I wanted to reference the entries for the kalos starters self fusions, but guess that won't work. "POKENAME can now fully harness both the power of Alternating Current and Direct Current. Such amount of energy in hands of such ardently violent creature is nothing to joke about."

[viscid light]

AC and DC

[fair thicket]

...wouldn't the sugar in the milk just feed the fire?
i have no idea i'm just trying to get the image out of my head

[fair thicket]

kalos starters?
i need to see those, ig

make what out of the atmosphere?

But yea, better without that

[near latch]

launch itself out of the atmosphere

it sends itself flying

:nodnod:

By forcefully releasing heavy streams of milk from its many arms, it is able to send itself flying. It works part-time at the car wash.

not sure if the second sentence would fit the guidelines, but I'm not an unown, so

[near latch]

Whatever happens, happens.

It was too vague for me to know for sure if it wasnt allowed.

Seeing how the fusion in itself is an abomination, I figured I might as well shoot my shot.

I looked at the list of accepted entries and saw some gags

so I based it off of that

[dense shard]

self electivire fusion: POKENAME can now fully harness both the power of Alternating Current and Direct Current. Such sheer amount of energy, in hands of such ardently violent creature, is a serious issue to the security of trainers and Pokemon.

[near latch]

There's a custom dex entry for a fusion that begs its trainer to unmake it upon creation because its existance is a mistake

[viscid light]

@gaunt crater

If you happen to find a location where Bulbasaur are usually located in, only to find a steady absence in all but presence, chances are that POKENAME is safeguarding them by containing all of them within the hat-shaped flower on its' back.

[fair thicket]

oh, i was thinking more about it going from describing the species as a whole to talking about one specific instance
unless you're implying that every single one moonlights in a car wash

[near latch]

if we are unfortunate enough to be cursed with more than one of these beings in existance, then yes. They all work there.

[fair thicket]

heh

[dense shard]

also, how do I submit sprite requests?

[near latch]

Whatever happens, happens, I guess

It will give me a very good frame of reference when I see the results.

[viscid light]

@bitter lodge

While standing still, even the most stubborn of Pokemon become hard pressed to budge POKENAME from its' point. It shares a strange connection with Primape, where the normally hostile Pokémon becomes docile, seeking out any unfortunate balloon-shaped Pokémon with their new companion

[fair thicket]

wait sorry i misread
#sprite-requests read the pins in that channel 😌

[near latch]

:DD

[fair thicket]

oh wait, looks like sprite requests has gotten a whole rework.

[dense shard]

sorry, but Idk where should I send the message

oh nevermind, I found it

Thanx, and sorry 🙏

291.354.png Captured POKENAMEs are used to dig deep for valuable ores. Their large eye is able to scan through dirt faster than any machine made by humans, and their ears can dig extremely fast too.

Hey @tribal relic are you writing these or did someone put your name in

[tribal relic]

I wrote that.

[hexed fog]

oh thank god

I thought someone was being a dork

[hexed fog]

Captured POKENAME are used to dig deep for valuable ores. Their large eye can scan through dirt faster than any machine made by humans, and their ear-like appendages can dig extremely fast too.

Mind if I change it to this for clarity?

[tribal relic]

Yeah sure. Go ahead.

(Also when one of my entries gets rejected I'll check and change it.)

[viscid light]

@deft sapphire

A genetic accident, POKENAME is a result of a pair of Kirlia in the process of evolving while simultaneously exposed to a DNA Splicer. Its bifurcated mind means that POKENAME is unable to keep any true intention hidden.

@placid raft

Modified by Genesect genes, POKENAME's psychic capabilities are suppressed in exchange for advanced auto-target capabilities. It will refuses to drink anything that isn't fermented, perhaps to dull its mind further.

@hexed tapir

If you see a crying Snorunt in a snowstorm, show caution - POKENAME might be using its long tongue to lure in would-be predators to devour itself. POKENAME is almost always in a dour state, so its hunting strategy might merely be an effective accident.

[dense shard]

124.124.png This self fusion becomes addicted to have a very strict routine, and they'll become violent at anything that attempts to break it. Some of them in the wild have been found to develop a sense of property and even keep care of other pokemon as pets.

26.435.png Don't get decieved by the fact that it doesn't smell bad. Its body contains high amounts of lead and battery sulphate.

[viscid light]

Sorry @void sand, I can't make a dex entry unless you make a non-core version of this fusion

[boreal prairie]

I requested this sprite be made 😄

I was gonna write its entry one day, but you beat me haha

woul you want to collab on it? I'd add more than my usual suggestions

[boreal prairie]

This self-fusion is addicted to strict routine, and it becomes violent toward anything that disrupts it. In the wild, some have even developed a concept of personal property and keep other Pokémon as pets.

concision suggestion.
I'm curious what inspired this idea?

[boreal prairie]

If you see a crying Snorunt in a snowstorm, show caution - POKENAME might be using its long tongue to lure in would-be predators to devour itself.

[Despite the tactic that they use, POKENAME is almost always in a dour state, unintentionally allowing their lures to work effectively.]

I'm usally anti-ambiguity, but I reworked the first sentence (with some concision suggestions) to add a little uncertainty, to reflect the sense of deception.

Personally, I'm not sure what the second sentence is meant to convey? Could you explain a little more your idea?

[viscid light]

https://tenor.com/view/eeyore-winnie-the-pooh-gif-8798170

The fusion's pretty much emitting Eeyore energy and is generally depressed

[boreal prairie]

Modified by Genesect genes, POKENAME's psychic capabilities are suppressed in exchange for advanced auto-target capabilities. It will refuses to drink anything that isn't fermented, perhaps to [I'm not sure of the connection]

some concision, coherence suggestions. I'm not sure why fermented drinks would be required to enhance its targeting?

[boreal prairie]

The eeyore energy makes the snorunt more pathetic seeming, and thus enticing as a lure, is that the idea?

https://tenor.com/view/lego-new-york-lego-friends-lego-matt-lego-ninjago-lego-master-gif-9387793456587206982

I was going more towards an "Vast The Stampede" mentality with the fusion

some concision/coherence suggestions

[viscid light]

Yeah, but I was more focusing on the fusion's face having "disappointed with life" energy

[boreal prairie]

I guess my confusion though is how you imagine being in and dour state relating to the lures being more effective

[viscid light]

Well, think of it as a "Happy Accident"

[boreal prairie]

Oh so its sad that its lures work, but will steal eat anyway?

[boreal prairie]

Modified by Genesect genes, POKENAME's psychic capabilities are suppressed in exchange for advanced auto-target capabilities. It will refuses to drink anything that isn't fermented, perhaps to dull its mind further.

Does this make sense with your idea?

[viscid light]

It's just constantly on "sad" setting

[boreal prairie]

btw you have a lot of creativity with your ideas, I'm just trying to help shape them a little clearer!

[viscid light]

Hey, you're doing good

[boreal prairie]

If you see a crying Snorunt in a snowstorm, show caution - POKENAME might be using its long tongue to lure in would-be predators to devour. POKENAME is almost always in a dour state, so its hunting strategy might merely be an effective accident.

Does this align with what you were thinking?

[viscid light]

Yeah

[boreal prairie]

Great! I might be embarrassed to ask this now but, have you submitted them already, or any of the older ones you shared? I'll just keep scrolling up for a bit but i don't want to make suggestions on ones already submitted

[viscid light]

No

I'd rather let the artist more or less take the credit if they want to use the dex entry

[boreal prairie]

Oh, you might want to say that when you tag them if that's your plan. I think most spriters expect it to be credited to the writer if they don't write one for their own sprite. It might not get submitted at all if not by you

[viscid light]

There, -more or less- made my intentions clear

@boreal prairie What's your particular favorite from this?

[hexed fog]

@night plank please be careful to not put in a dex entry if there is no sprite. As you are supposed to be checking the sprite filename in the fusiondex website this should be very noticeable.

[viscid light]

Always remember to put in the according sprite code, @night plank

[boreal prairie]

Hm, I like them all, but of the three I looked at for you I think I like the Gardevoir self fusion the most just cause it is a kind of creepy idea to think about😆

#dex-entries-discussion message

[covert idol]

Hey, I just want to say that my entry for 24.43.png should not be approved.

The name was a mistake and the right one is 25.43.png that come two entries later 🙂

[boreal hazel]

Just found out about this thread.
Now I know the entry submission doc is for adding new dex entries for fusions already in the game, but how do I submit an entry to a sprite that I'm making for the sprite gallery?

like I'm assuming you insert it sowhere into the "Pokemon/Pokemon (000.000)" post, but I'm not sure what the specifics are

[fair thicket]

alas, you wait until it is in-game 😔
some spriters add their entry to their gallery post, but that doesn't get it in-game. only the submission form does

[boreal hazel]

oh.

[fair thicket]

there was a suggestion to make it possible to submit both at the same time, but there's convoluted shenanigans in the process making it non-viable at this time 😔

[boreal hazel]

but yeah I saw that some people were doing that, I just thought it actually worked lol

[hexed fog]

please

I beg

[fair thicket]

me too, for the longest time

[hexed fog]

I'd love to see more entries about pokemon that help in bakeries and cafes 🙂

cmoooon gimme

[fair thicket]

you're asking for slurpuffs, huh?

[hexed fog]

We are almost caught up on reviewing all your entries guys so keep plugging away

Nah

Fairy types and fire types

Clefairy carrying drink orders. Vulpix lighting the griddle.

So many possibilities

Golbat helping with their tongue to clean out ice cream carts

Gimme more golbat entries lol

Maybe Ralts helping at inns by floating towels to inn rooms

[boreal prairie]

I have typed exactly "4.16" into the submission form, what might be the reason it says his is not the correct format

Thanks

[fair thicket]

POKENAME has foregone its past brutality in favor of putting on the most baller glam rock concerts imaginable. Since her debut, she has become a bisexual icon and is rumored to have had a fling with the Johto champion.

sorry not sorry
i know she already has an approved entry, so i figured i'd go whole ham in memoriam of Rival's necroetta getting yeeted from Remix
https://www.fusiondex.org/450.466/

[boreal prairie]

If every entry need .png, why does it need to be in the form?

[hexed fog]

Dear. God. This would get denied so fast

[fair thicket]

XD i figured

'twas... mostly a joke

[hexed fog]

It's fool proof to avoid people forgetting the letters after numbers

[boreal prairie]

will i matter if my name is entered as "Ozydamians " (with a space at the end) because thats what my autofill does and it is getting annoying backspacing

[hexed fog]

Nah we will figure it out

It's more so we can contact you if there's an issue and that you get credit

The issue is people using their display name

[narrow cosmos]

Seeing the number of approved entries attached to my name is really heartening, I'm glad a lot of 'em have gotten approved. Keeps encouraging me to plug out more, too.

[narrow cosmos]

🤔 May have to see if I can find a combo that looks fitting for that

[hexed fog]

(Especially folks who are Pikalover555 one day the SantaIzCool the next then B4ddiztB17ch the next)

Like dude split personality much

[fair thicket]

hmm, how would i approach someone about a denied entry

[hexed fog]

What was the denial reason

[fair thicket]

463.369 is an Undertale reference, so that's why there's the mention of card games

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, I realized that myself after a couple dozen entries. 😅 So my first submissions are under S.K., the rest have been under sk372.

[hexed fog]

Remember it can have references to games but it must stay in pokemon lore

[fair thicket]

i figured it'd be enough to give the nod to Undertale without being too weird for pokemon

[hexed fog]

Msg this to me privately i can swap them tomorrow

Sorry Worm

[boreal prairie]

😤 complete Charmander/Pidgey line submitted

[narrow cosmos]

Now or wait until tomorrow as a reminder?

[hexed fog]

Do more! Kill the wild list ozy!

[hexed fog]

Now is fine

I'm just in bed

[boreal prairie]

I have Squirtle/Rattata written but I don't like them so much. Next is Paras/Hoothoot I think.

[craggy beacon]

EXCUSE ME? 😭

[fair thicket]

what is the reaction supposed to represent?

[hexed fog]

Sadface

I think?

I thought it was a cute fella

I mean it's a shroomish lol so maybe it's a portobello reaction

[fair thicket]

ugh. now i have to find another way to give the nod

[fair thicket]

you ever challenged the E4 after Mt Silver?
it was the rival's ace
(well, at least a memorable team member. not sure if I'm using the term "ace" correctly in this manner 🤔)

[boreal prairie]

can you post your original denied emtry

[narrow cosmos]

Delicious desserts naturally grow on top of POKENAME's body, replenishing any consumed portions overnight. Many bakeries use them as mascots and ways to offer free samples.

[fair thicket]

Though imposing in stature and trained as stalwart guardians, POKENAME would rather play with intruders than fend them off. They enjoy head pats, fetch, and can even be taught some rudimentary card games.

[boreal prairie]

I guess its tricky when the default sprite is also a reference speite

[fair thicket]

i figured it could be in-theme because guards are always shown playing cards when they're off the clock and golurk was created as a guardian 😔

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME are stalwart guardians of imposing stature, however, it would rather receive heads pats from intruders than fight them off. It has a notably high intelligence, and can even be taught more advanced games than simple fetch.

idk something like that maybe?

[fair thicket]

so it's a bit of a "wait what" for people who don't know the reference, but soon resolved with "heh, guards", whereas the Undertale fans would get a kick out of Greater Dog failing to win a card game against himself

[hexed fog]

That would be fine

[boreal prairie]

Yeah except repeating advanced twice in the same sentence! Someone get Ozydamians in here to nitpick this guy!!!

[boreal prairie]

Yeah i liked it as an undertale reference (and of course, undertale was also referencing the guards playing cards trope, and the dogs playing cards painting, which probably also also was referencing the guards playing cards trope lol)

[hexed fog]

I'd just fix that during review it's nbd lol

Idc about small issues like those

My life is filled with small errors

[fair thicket]

what if i tweaked the reference to them failing to play cards
i'd have to word it precisely so it doesn't come out of nowhere, though

[boreal prairie]

I'm not an unown but id imagine that the sprite would have to have cards for them to be mentioned directly

[hexed fog]

That's like 2 days of work lol

[ebon warren]

You asked for a fusion that could produce frying pans. I gave you the idea. Do with it what you will

[hexed fog]

Any metal pokemon works lol

[ebon warren]

No, having a Pokémon with specific metallic segments that can easily be made into a pan or wok makes a lot more sense. Otherwise just use Magneton and Steelix, good luck

[narrow cosmos]

You guys have been doing a lot of work over the last little bit with all the new approvals going through and stuff, I think that sticker is pretty appropriate.

[hexed fog]

It'll be fine yo

Especially once I start writing entries again

[ebon warren]

I’ve done none of it, don’t give me any credit

[boreal prairie]

By the way I think this is great, No suggestions! (except that you could remove "many" from "many bakeries" 😉)

[narrow cosmos]

Glad you like it! 😄

[fair thicket]

could i have the card games line for the more overt reference sprite and replace it with something more mundane for the main?

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME are lavish to the extreme when it comes to expressing affection towards others. These elaborate displays are often used as inspiration for romantics who wish to propose in a grandiose manner.

Your Dianchoke approaches you and does this, what do you do?

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME are lavish to the extreme when it expresses affection. Its elaborate displays inspire romantics who wish to propose in a grandiose manner.

concision suggestions. With all this extra space, room for some more lavish details perhaps?

[fair thicket]

"🤔 I don't know... It's certainly romantic, but it's not really 'me', y'know? Got any other ideas how I could propose to my partner?"

[fair thicket]

you flip between singular and plural in the first sentence

🤔 when they express affection I guess?

and then Their elaborate displays inspire etc

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME are lavish to the extreme when expressing affection, showering those it adores with shiny gifts and sweeping gestures. Its elaborate displays inspire romantics who wish to propose in a grandiose manner.

🤔 How's this sound?

[fair thicket]

you want the entry to be in the singular or plural?

[narrow cosmos]

Dianchoke then proceeds to teach you how to bust a move to impress them.

[narrow cosmos]

I think I generally try to stick to singular, so I suppose that should be "POKENAME is lavish to the extreme" then.

Good work then. Now dance, worm! Dance the dance of love Dianchoke taught you!

[fair thicket]

Dianchoke is played by Will Smith

[fair thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XggUCi1jtz0

[boreal prairie]

This is great! Just fix the plural thing Worm is saying I think (I often make this mistake too haha)

[narrow cosmos]

Fixed and submitted! And yeah, singular/plural switching is a weakpoint of mine, too. 😅

[proven hound]

Can I talk

Finnaly

Wrong server

[open lantern]

Hi, why are there different submitted entries for the exact same fusion?

[craggy beacon]

do you know how fusions can have multiple sprites?

same deal

the game just randomly picks from the custom dexes iirc

[open lantern]

Ooooh neat

Thanks

[night plank]

I actually thought during the start that it was any sprite including the autogen as I saw custom sprite and assumed much it was the same when I first start making dexes. Then someone told that it be actually only for the custom sprites made by people. I kind of forgot about them but if you want you can just reject them if you wish, sorry about that, that is on me.

[viscid light]

That's a shame on my end, but it's still good to hear

[terse pawn]

another day another entry to write 😼

[hexed fog]

The only issue with multiple entries is that there are so many pokes that need entries... kinda pointless to double up.

We roughly 1/11th of the way through

[hexed fog]

Both need to exist in universe

[jagged ledge]

Oh wow that's a lot of Approvals

Guess that means time for me to write more

[narrow cosmos]

Seeing the number of approvals on there made me think "wow, I really wrote that many? "

Does make me desperate to see them in-game soon but I know that's still a good ways away. Nothing to do but pump the numbers up for when it does happen.

[noble schooner]

how're we doing everyone?

[narrow cosmos]

Good for me, howzabout you?

[noble schooner]

not too bad thanks. it's midnight for me and i'm bored so it's time for some dex entries i suppose XD (Also somehow i just earned the eevee hat in game in the process of writing this message. What? 😅 )

[hexed fog]

Make one about a dark type that gets bored when everyone is asleep so it wakes villages up with a howl

Do eeeet

[narrow cosmos]

Due to its malleable body, its skin is too smooth and its fangs too soft to cause damage. That it has to mimic other Pokémon to be a threat causes it no end of vexation.

Even though it fits right in the text range, my usual dex entries are so overly-wordy sometimes that these feel too short by comparison. 😅 But I think this works well enough for angy shark blob.

[jagged ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/i-got-you-thumbs-up-good-great-excellent-gif-12640146

POKENAME wander into villages at night, enjoying howling as loudly as they can to try and call people to play with them. Their howls sound like shrieks, causing all the villagers to wake up in fear of being caught in a sudden disaster.

[trim dagger]

Honestly would've thought houndoom andightyena

[narrow cosmos]

It wants to fly without the use of shapeshifting, launching its gelatinous body from great heights as practice. Fortunately its soft form makes the impact with the ground painless.

It looks gelatinous at a glance, but POKENAME is actually coated with a thin yet sturdy shell around its soft insides. A transformation unlike its shapeshifting capabilities is taking place within.

Though technically only able to glide rather than achieving true flight, POKENAME still delights in the wings it grew. It's so proud, that whenever it transforms it purposely retains them while in its new shape.

[jagged ledge]

I love that expression on Salato

Then when it evolves

POKENAME rush into villages when they sense incoming disasters, trying to protect as many people as they can with their warnings. They have earned a negative reputation due to their pre-evolutions causing havoc.

It's the wolf who cried wolf

Eevee/Fennekin (by bubbarottweiler)
Although possessing limitless potential, POKENAME tends to lean towards Fire abilities, however it has yet to fully tap into stronger feats other than simple fires to keep itself warm in the wild. POKEMANE are commonly found sunbathing.

should it be "it" or "they" btw...?

[regal cedar]

can be either

it just needs to be consistent
if you're talking about multiple, use they. if just one, use it

[jagged ledge]

I think your first sentence is a bit of a run-on. Maybe replace the second comma with a period?

Also the sunbathing bit feels a little tacked on

[noble schooner]

you sure? because it's one point that continues to another. wouldn't a period make it seem... off?

if i were to use a period there whould that make people think "ok... and? why is that?"

[jagged ledge]

Well you can contain the first idea in one sentence then use the second part as a separate idea. Otherwise you have two contrasts in the same sentence, although and however.

[noble schooner]

but it's not? it's saying "It tends to use more fire capability despite having potential for more various oppotunities."

[jagged ledge]

Well let's simplify it a little to show what I mean. "Although it can do anything, it chooses fire, however it's not good at fire aside from small things."

You can then break it down to "Although it can do anything, it chooses fire. It's still learning, so it mainly performs small feats."

[noble schooner]

OH you said "second period" i am stupid and i'm so sorry

[jagged ledge]

No it's ok I'm happy to work with you and clarify lol

[noble schooner]

i thought we were talkign about the comma here: "Although possessing limitless potential**,** POKENAME tends to lean towards Fire abilities."

[jagged ledge]

No, that part is totally fine lol

[noble schooner]

now that i know i can absolutely see what you mean... i'll try to tweak it

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good, happy to help.

[noble schooner]

how's this? "Although possessing limitless potential, POKENAME tends to lean towards Fire abilities. At its current stage, it has yet to fully tap into stronger feats other than simple fires to keep itself warm in the wild. It has more energy the warmer the temperature."

[jagged ledge]

Looks great!

Maybe change Fire abilities to Fire-Type moves, but that might be a semantics question for the Unowns

[noble schooner]

my idea with these dex entries is like a Fact, Fact, Trivia structure. or Trivia, Fact, Fact. the sunbathing thing in the previous paragraph was that Trivia section but you're right it did seem sort of plastered on without any other points to it.

100-250 letters though does make it a little tricky...

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, I always try to keep myself to two sentences when possible. I don't trust myself with a third under the character limit unless it feels right to add something extra

Partly because my main two are usually wordy enough to reach the limit lol

[noble schooner]

i had to change "At its current stage" to "at present" for that letter reason...

POKENAME spins and prances about when in high spirits. This twirling generates electricity within its body, so sparks and small crackles of electricity emanate from it as it dances.

[noble schooner]

Flareon/Braixen (_antiblitzyt)
"Now growing to achieve full control over Fire, its ability is now more advanced after learning a deeper understanding of flames. POKENAME stores built up fire within its body and channels it out using it’s stick as if it was a wand."

[jagged ledge]

POKENAME create a protective helmet out of solidified mucus to help protect them as they launch off of cliffs in attempts to fly. Luckily, their bodies are rather gelatinous, helping them to cushion the blow if their angle is off.

[jagged ledge]

Wrong its but otherwise pretty good!

[noble schooner]

wrong?

[jagged ledge]

The second one. It should be "its stick"

[noble schooner]

oh wrong "its"

ahh fuck... that's a habit i need to break

[jagged ledge]

It's ok, it happens to all of us sometimes

What helps me is when I add the apostrophe, I think "it is" separately and then correct when it's (it is) a possessive

[noble schooner]

also question: the sentence (Now growing to achieve full control over Fire) did you interpret that as "it's already achieved" or "It's trying to fully achieve"? I'm not sure if i wrong it the way i was intended so i just wanted to ask for an opinion

[jagged ledge]

The former

[noble schooner]

dammit... i was aiming for the latter...

i'll have to tweak it...

striving? would that work better?

[jagged ledge]

Focusing fully on developing its fire power?

[noble schooner]

hmm... maybe

"Now focused on enhancing its control over fire, its ability has grown more advanced after learning a deeper understanding of flames."?

did it again...

i think that works...

[noble schooner]

Flareon/Delphox (by isabellaishungry)
"Now achieving the apex of its magic, POKENAME manipulate Fire to their whim. Although they can now channel flames through its own claws, most choose to keep their wands to limit output. This is to minimize environmental accidents."

[upbeat sierra]

Looks good

[noble schooner]

thank ye. but if you catch a grammatical error feel free to point it out. it's... clear that i tend to miss them 😅

[narrow cosmos]

Its electrical capability is strong, but its body lacks the strength to properly contain it. As such, its body has shattered, loosely connected to and covering its electrical core while puffing out small storm clouds.

The second sentence in particular I stumbled a bit on, it gets the gist across but I wonder if it's awkward. The storm clouds bit I suppose could be excised. 🤔

[hexed fog]

1.35.png Their strange bulbs glow on nights of the full moon. It is said that a POKENAME's bulb contains moonstones that channel their mystical powers and allow them to fly.

Do you mean moon stones or Moonstones? @jagged ledge

[jagged ledge]

Moon stones, like the item

[hexed fog]

ty ❤️ I just wanted to capitalize if it needed it 🙂 I appreciate you!

[noble schooner]

Vaporeon/Delphox (by peegeray)
"It controls Water skillfully, yet its new Psychic power allows POKENAME to shape water into more complex forms to aid it in combat or personal needs. It was able to restore the Water Stone used in its evolution as a memento of its growth."

[jagged ledge]

No problem!

[hexed fog]

438.339.png POKENAME are formed by the remnants of the trapped children that want to go home. They try to find these lost children, once they find a child, they guide them home. POKENAME are melancholic as they hold the emotions of the dead wanting to go home.

can we reword this to

POKENAME are the spirits of trapped children who long to return home. They seek out lost children and, upon finding them, guide them to safety. POKENAME are filled with a deep sadness, as they carry the emotions of those who never made it home.

for clarity? @night plank

[night plank]

yeah, go ahead! I don't mind if y'all need to reword anything so if in the future y'all don't need to ask, y'all can go ahead!

[noble schooner]

Jolteon/Braixen (by peegeray)
"By accident, POKENAME discovered how to turn heat into electricity through friction. It drags it stick along the ground to build up a strong, static charge that it can wield against foes. The friction from said dragging can leave behind scorch marks."

[fair thicket]

why "by accident"?
the comma between "strong" and "static" should be removed

[noble schooner]

i don't know really... it sounded more natural and less generic

worldbuilding? 😅

[night plank]

oh actually I just realised something when looking over it again, this one was intend for that the pokemon were actually formed by the emotions of the remnants of the lost children, wondering if the passage could still be edited?

[noble schooner]

Jolteon/Delphox (by cmgold428)
"Although a zap from POKENAME will hurt (a lot), it's actually more defensive with its power. Forming barriers of electricity to protect rather than attack. It was able to restore the Thunder Stone used in its evolution as a memento of its growth."

[fair thicket]

🤔 It stood out as unneccessary to me, but it's your entry

[noble schooner]

really? i thought with as carefree an eevee is it would make sense it was able to find out this power when playing around with a stick

guess it just me then

but still trying to make things creative you know?

besides if an unown wants me to do something to change it by all means i will

[fair thicket]

don't take my opinion as gospel 😌

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is loyal and adoring to its trainer, spending as much time as possible by their side. It will even subtly slow the flow of time when together, just to extend how long it can be with them.

POKENAME's loyalty and devotion to its trainer is without peer. It would even go back in time and rewrite history if it meant improving its trainers life even slightly.

[noble schooner]

i don't know what that means but don't think i don't appreciate the input. I do, genuinly

[hexed fog]

POKENAME are the spirits of trapped children who long to return home. They seek out lost children and, upon finding them, guide them to safety. Some say POKENAME are filled with a deep sadness, as they created by the souls of those who never made it home.

yes?

[noble schooner]

Espeon/Braixen (by 4wingedowl)
"POKENAME practices to balance out its Fire and Psychic abilities, leading to it creating what researchers refer to as “Solfire.” This “Solfire” radiates from its ears and wand. With how secretive POKENAME is, further study remains difficult."

[fair thicket]

basically a reassurance that it was just my opinion and not something i definitely think needed to be changed or whatnot

[noble schooner]

fair enough, but still i appreciate it

[narrow cosmos]

Some historians have found scriptures speaking of POKENAME as a minor deity of time. Stories say it slows time in moments of crisis, so it may help save humans in need.

It races through time at huge speeds, correcting humanity's course across the timeline for the sake of a distant future. Some say it has been behind every major historical event in history.

[night plank]

yeah, that works!

POKENAME are the spirits of trapped children who long to return home. They seek out lost children and, upon finding them, guide them to safety. Some say POKENAME are filled with a deep sadness, as they're created by the souls of those who never made it home.

This works! (mainly redoing it as I noticed a little thing that was missed with "as they created" so just added they're)

[hexed fog]

I somehow added to your old entry instead of the fixed one one sec

[hexed fog]

hmm I think I mustve reread that too fast. how are they simultaneously emotions of the children and the spirits of the children?

would you be able to pick one for me so that we can get this fixed up lol

[night plank]

oh I'm not sure much but mainly what I was intending for the original thing was that the pokemon were intended to be made from the emotions of dead children that are trapped, that was the basic premeis of this so let me fix it up real quick!

[noble schooner]

Espeon/Delphox (by isabellaishungry)
"POKENAME has achieved perfect equilibrium of its Fire and Psychic power. Its wand, now a staff, houses its “Solfire” in a crimson orb instead of in its body. Study remains difficult since scientists can’t get close to it without getting a migraine."

POKENAME are formed by the emotions of trapped children who long to return home. They seek out lost children and, upon finding them, guide them to safety. POKENAME are filled with a deep sadness, as they carry the emotions of those who never made it home.

This below the limit?

[hexed fog]

perfect! all updated and approved

[narrow cosmos]

I'm curious, when it comes time that the approvals get added, I wonder how that's done, does some kinda program go through an added entries to sprites like an auto-update Frog does, or does have to manually copy-paste all one billion entries? 🤔

[hexed fog]

thats up to frog

214.386.png POKENAME is blissfully unaware of its own strength. While running around in forests and mountains it may sometimes be too fast to stop before it slams into a tree or boulder. Whenever that happens, this Pokémon will always win.

@chilly horizon can you clarify what you mean by 'it will always win'

[chilly horizon]

I am very dumb and might not have written the rest of the entry. but i meant that it will come out fine, i.e. the tree or boulder break and the pokemon is (mostly) unharmed

if you want me to change the wording or smth do let me know cause that was on me oops

[hexed fog]

yes please and then just resubmit 🙂 I'll deny this one so we dont accidently dup

[boreal prairie]

By the way Izik you don't ever have to tag me just fix the one's I submit how you like

[jaunty crest]

I have a plugin to convert the whole approved entries sheet to json and I just copy that

small concision suggestions

For the sake of a distant future, It races through time at high speeds. [Some say] it is behind every major historical event, correcting humanity's path across the timeline.

Did some reordering of ideas to make it a little more dynamic This is a good idea for a time travelling Growlithe line!

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME adores its trainer and spends as much time as possible by their side. It subtly slows the flow of time, just to extend how long they can be together.

34.99.png POKENAME are monstrous Pokémon that should never be messed with. Its hefty claws have enough power to pulverize a school bus with a single blow.

mind if we change this to

POKENAME is a fearsome Pokémon with claws powerful enough to pulverize a school bus in a single strike. It is highly aggressive and should never be provoked.

to match the pokedex tone? @sonic tusk

is the dex sheet dead for anyone else?

have we killed it?

[chilly horizon]

doesnt load for me

[regal cedar]

yeah, it just stopped for me too

[hexed fog]

@vague osprey probably broke it with her mystical powers

[regal cedar]

it's fine now on my end after a refresh

[hexed fog]

oh thank the lawd

[noble schooner]

@hexed fog excuse me. are you currently looking at the Fusion Dex Entries google sheet?

[hexed fog]

I am!

[noble schooner]

are you quickly able to look what the approved entry is for #335.59a? something doesn't look right on my end...

[regal cedar]

What specifically?

[hexed fog]

I cant seem to find it

[noble schooner]

the actually entry... seems wrong

[regal cedar]

Hmm, I see the one about boiling water?

[noble schooner]

there's a number on the far left reading 15328

[regal cedar]

That's there to mark it in sheets, not part of the entry.

[noble schooner]

i know just thought it would make it easier to find

[regal cedar]

It seems Google Sheets is just hiccuping right now, so maybe refresh/wait a few minutes and check it again?

[hexed fog]

yea I cannot even locate it

[noble schooner]

can you copy/paste what it says on your end? if you can see it

[hexed fog]

Kiwi broke the sheets

[regal cedar]

I don't think Kiwi did anything.

[hexed fog]

I blame her for everything

yep some shenanigans are happening

[noble schooner]

"Fabled to be born of fire and water, which exudes both beauty and authority. When POKENAME senses danger near its territory, the scales on its tail vibrate rapidly, generating heat, boiling water to scalding temperatures to fire upon intruders." is what it says for me... that's not what i wrote when i submitted it

"Fabled to be born"?

[hexed fog]

I edited that one

[noble schooner]

how come?

[hexed fog]

theres a note to the right one the submitted location that states "pokemon are hatched from eggs, not born from elements"

[noble schooner]

isn't that still technically being born?

[hexed fog]

no

[narrow cosmos]

Appreciate these! All have been resubmitted.

[hexed fog]

If I left it the way you had it written it would be false, and we wouldn't be able to include it

[narrow cosmos]

Oh neat! That makes it seem a lot easier then what I was picturing.

[noble schooner]

i'm more confused about the "Elusive beast" part being removed

[hexed fog]

it was over the character limit

it was the best I could do to keep your same meaning without just flat denying it

[jagged ledge]

@hexed fog Hey I was going through the responses and first off thanks for Approving all that you did (Seeing the full scroll of Bulbasaur entries on the dex grid makes me very happy )

But also my entries for 412.300k and 300.412b were supposed to be for 421.300k and 300.412b respectively. I tried mentioning that before but they were marked as No Sprite Yet, should I resubmit the entries under the right numbers?

[noble schooner]

yeah i just reminded myself on what "Fabled" meant. it still works so you don't have to do anything

sorry i thought there was a hiccup on the text being added

[hexed fog]

msg me privately I will fix it when the sheet stops seizuring

[jagged ledge]

Ah ok no problem

[noble schooner]

you know wordvommit XD that's why i thought it looked wrong

sorry for the trouble

[hexed fog]

literally zero trouble

I'm just sad that the sheet is having issues

[jagged ledge]

It seems to be working ok for me I think

[noble schooner]

actually i don't even think my original intent was "literally born." think my mind was going for a more metaphoric direction. like "an elusive beast able to control the embodyment of water and flame" or something like that

doesn't matter anyway

btw what does it mean when an entry on the page is highlighted in orange?

another issue with the page maybe?

oh nevermind there's a key on the page. sorry

oh it's peach... reading what it means that's fair enough

didn't even think about something like that

[hexed fog]

38.332.png If you see nine brightly glowing stars not in the sky, it is this Pokémon guiding you out of harm's way. When people thought Absol brought disaster, they used POKENAME as protection from them. Some even prayed to it, hoping for its blessing.

Can you reword this to be a bit more clear on what you mean by 'not in the sky'? @nocturne shadow

[nocturne shadow]

It's meant to be mysterious. Mostly like when you are walking in the forest at night and you see 9 shooting star-like lights between the trees. I wanted to add that kind of detail, but decided to be concise instead

I probably should've added it tho thinking about it days later.

[hexed fog]

If nine glowing stars appear on the ground, it is POKENAME guiding you to safety. Long ago, people prayed to it for protection, believing it could ward off disasters brought by Absol.

how about this? just for clarity

[nocturne shadow]

Yeah, so much better. I need to get back to writing well again lol

[hexed fog]

346.57.png While POKENAME lies dormant, it pulses with near-infinite rage and strength. Mythological researchers say that should it awaken and unleash its power, a single punch could shatter the planet.

do you mind if we change this to

While POKENAME lies dormant, it pulses with immense rage and strength. Mythological researchers say that its power, if fully unleashed, could cause widespread destruction.

just to keep pokedex tone @narrow cosmos

[boreal prairie]

my two cents just on the last bit is I think it is reasonable for a primeape/regigigas fusion to have myths that it can literally destroy the whole planet

Magcargo is as hot as the sun according to the pokedex

[steady sedge]

what?

whaaaaaa!?!?!?!??!
