[fallow tiger]

maybe you could change 'a sight to behold' to something maybe more like 'rumored to be a sight' or somehting since no one had actually seen it. just a thought!

[weak osprey]

Well it's not that no one's seen it, just that no one has tried depicting it through, like, art.

But anyway good job 🫡

[fallow tiger]

oh that makes alot more sense actually, smart!

[upper loom]

@boreal canyon I set your AFK: Sleeping ~5h30, then at school ~8h

[fallow tiger]

you too, your entry was a fun read 🙂

i hate the smiling emoji it always seems so sarcastic i walwyas mean to type : )

[weak osprey]

Maybe I could submit mine to the other Seaoh sprite?

I wanna make it more clear though since it apparently didn't come across that people have seen and talked abt it 😅

[fallow tiger]

oh you totally should itd work perfectly

ill submit it now, is ._term. okay for the name i credit or would you prefer something else?

[upper loom]

Term, Moderator Crab (FR/EN) is AFK: Sleeping ~5h30, then at school ~8h - 5 minutes ago

[fallow tiger]

oh oops

sorry! ill put ._term. for now

[weak osprey]

You should get the credit since you wrote it, no?

[fallow tiger]

yeah, but i thought maybe i should credit him for sending it in the first place, otherwise i wouldnt have wrote it?

im not sure now

should i or not?

[weak osprey]

I feel like he weighed in on this the other day

1 sec

[fallow tiger]

alrightt

[weak osprey]

This message ^
(Sorry for pinging while you're afk)

[upper loom]

Term, Moderator Crab (FR/EN) is AFK: Sleeping ~5h30, then at school ~8h - 7 minutes ago

[fallow tiger]

i remember that now, okay! thank you

[weak osprey]

Ofc 😎

[vast blaze]

Sounds good! Thank you very much. I will keep my Minior entries on standby for now.

[weak osprey]

I'm gonna start working on the "Pokemon Catcable in the Wild" list 🫡

[nocturne shadow]

186.419.png
When POKENAME are frightened, their horns will release a smokescreen to scurry away. These Pokemon’s abdomens are heavy, so they only walk short distances.

186.374c.png
If trainers stumble upon a POKENAME and give it an item, it will look into the trainer's heart. If the heart is pure, the item will be strengthened. Though if not, the item will be incinerated

(Basing this on the Great Fairies from The Legend of Zelda)

336.369.png
POKENAME's speed is unmatched, being able to circle the earth minutes. With it's energy propulsion, POKENAME can cut that time into a quarter.

(Might need a little help with this one lol 😅)

[jagged ledge]

POKENAME can fly at incredible speeds, potentially circling the earth in minutes. When it fires all of its energy at once, it can increase its propulsion to nearly quadruple its speed. ?

[boreal prairie]

I agree that @nocturne shadow entry could use a little more detail, so I'll edit this one but blend them together.

POKENAME soars at unimaginable speeds, easily circling the earth world in minutes. When it maximizes its energy output, its propulsive power quadruples.

you could tag in something that is like, what sort of thing it does at 4x speed that it normally can't do

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good yeah

[boreal prairie]

When frightened, its horn releases a smokescreen and it scurries away. POKENAME abdomens are heavy, so they only walk short distances.

small concision edits. though, i would add that, I don't see much personality in the second idea.

Do pokedex entries ever use 2nd person?

('you' perspective)

[boreal prairie]

If you stumble upon a POKENAME [in a mysterious pond] and give it an item, it looks into your heart. If your heart is pure, the item is strengthened. If not, the item will be incinerated and lost.

if 'you' entries are allowed, I think it sounds nice here

those seem to be the recent ones from today. if there are any older ones people havent submitted yet let me know i will take a look

[nocturne shadow]

Thanks for all the edits! I hope I'm at least getting better lol

[boreal prairie]

somebody tag a mod this is a phishing scam

[hexed fog]

'You' entries tend to go away from the pokedex tone

[boreal prairie]

i forgot where to find the list of moderators

[hexed fog]

Also entries with "..." (elipses)

Ugh sec

<@&306953740651462656>

Please

@junior osprey Seems alive

I can't delete it or I would

[boreal prairie]

Yeah i wasn't sure. I do think that one specifically sounds good with you though

[hexed fog]

I wouldn't approve it tbh. It states this as fact. I'd reword it as "legend has it that if someone... etc"

[boreal prairie]

You'll never have me as an Unown because my assumption is that basically every pokédex entry silently starts with "according to legend" lol

[junior osprey]

im on it

[hexed fog]

"Should the recipient's heart be viewed as pure by POKENAME..."

Sorry I'm on mobile it's hard to type

[junior osprey]

done sorry lol i panicked

[boreal prairie]

Before they left the server they had joined in 2023 so thats sad

hope it was just their discord hacked they had a lot of profile in their bio

[hexed fog]

They probably got phished

[boreal prairie]

what happened to the thing on discord where it would show a list of all the members with the moderators at the top?

[hexed fog]

It's there

[boreal prairie]

not for me? am I stupid?

[weak osprey]

This isn't a hard and fast rule though, right?
This is a real entry for Drowzee

If your nose becomes itchy while you are sleeping, it’s a sure sign that a DROWZEE is standing above your pillow and trying to eat your dream through your nostrils.

[boreal prairie]

Yeah I thought some of them did do that but couldn't remember any specifics

[weak osprey]

Drowzee's my fave :)

[boreal prairie]

Snorlax is my fave. I feel like I'd be too starstruck to write Snorlax entries lol

[weak osprey]

May I present to you:

He's just an eepy lil guy

[boreal prairie]

we can collab on an entry

[weak osprey]

I'm trying to figure out what to do for Golbat/Nidoran-M first, since it's on the high-priority list

and I'm taking the opportunity to do one for the rest of the line while I'm at it.

There's already a Zubat/Nidorino-M entry

During mating season, POKENAME can have up to twelve mates at once. POKENAME are twice as strong as the females, able to push small boulders with ease.
And idrk how to build off of that for the evos 😅

[boreal prairie]

can you post the sprite

[jagged ledge]

I'm gonna be honest. I say this as someone that absolutely loves building off concepts and making indirect references to pre-evolution dex entries...

I wouldn't blame you in the slightest for taking a different approach on this one.

[weak osprey]

Hahaha

Oh wait Nidorino is the middle evo 🤦‍♂️

[jagged ledge]

It's ok lol

[weak osprey]

Hang tight

[jagged ledge]

Happens to all of us

[weak osprey]

Okay this is what we're looking at

33.41 has an entry
34.41 sadly does not have a sprite but I put a request in cuz I think it'd look heckin sick

Here's all of the info I can glean from their Pokedex entries:

Zubat: Lives in caves, uses echolocation, senitive to sunlight,
Golbat: Drains energy/blood, overeats, shares its blood with other golbats

Nidoran-M: Ears sense danger, poisonous horns, risks its life to protect a female
Nidorino: Aggressive, easily agitated
Nidoking: Powerful tail, tough hide, hard horns, rampages, nidoqueen can calm it down, prideful

[jagged ledge]

Where do you find these grids btw?

[weak osprey]

I make them myself :D

[jagged ledge]

Oh cool

[weak osprey]

But it should totally be a view you can get on the website

[fair thicket]

dis guy?
or is this a mobile vs pc thing?

[jade burrow]

Here my submission sprite of spheal.

[boreal prairie]

oh maybe it is a mobile thing

[boreal prairie]

which one were you working on exactly?

[weak osprey]

Oh yeah the top left, 32.41 Zubat / Nidoran-M

[jagged ledge]

POKENAME use their large ears to detect vibrations using echolocation. They are constantly on alert, raising their poisonous horns to any sign of a threat.

[weak osprey]

That's just mashing up the two entries tho
It works but I wonder if we can do smth more unique

Like I'm imagining that trope where a character disturbs a cave/room full of bats and they all fly out. The twist here is that they have big poisonous horns.

[boreal prairie]

something about using big ear hearing to find a mate because they are desperate, if you want to link with the next one

[weak osprey]

Hahaha oh yk that could work

Maybe they're normally silent because the chirps they make for echolocation is too high-pitched for human ears, but at a certain time of year, they make lower-pitched sounds (well, relatively low anyway) because they travel further.

So normally a cave full of Zuran-M is dead silent, but during mating season, it is a cacophony of chirps and squeaks

[boreal prairie]

That's a good hook and is a little more interesting than the harem entry haha

[weak osprey]

Do bats have a mating season? Lemme look this up

Google tells me September - November (in the Northern hemisphere)

[fair thicket]

these aren't bats though; they're zubats

[weak osprey]

Right, we can make up whatever we want

but I'm tryna draw from their real-life counterparts where I can

[jagged ledge]

I feel like that has some inappropriate implications is the issue lol

I do agree it's a good hook, but making it something other than mating might be preferable

[fair thicket]

baby bats?

[weak osprey]

I mean lower-evolved pokemon aren't necessarily young

[jagged ledge]

Yeah I just meant mating in general tbh.

[fair thicket]

i think it's more not wanting players to think about pokemon mating

so i was considering whether having the cacophony being baby bats might be a non-sexy alternative

[weak osprey]

Is the idea of animals mating not family-friendly?

[weak osprey]

I like this idea better anyway

[jagged ledge]

The caves that POKENAME call home are usually dead silent, as even the slightest noise will alert the swarm within. POKENAME's large ears are very sensitive, so they will charge towards any unexpected noise with their poisonous horns.

[weak osprey]

But plenty of entries mention, like, mating rituals

And idt it'd be weird to read "this lightning bug pokemon performs lightshows to attract a mate"

[fair thicket]

[makes the wavy hand gesture] ask an unown?

[jagged ledge]

Yeah fair enough. I just meant the sounds part mainly. It's different to say 'a mate' or 'mating ritual' than 'mating habits'

[weak osprey]

Ohhhh

[fair thicket]

🤔 i think it's more... attract a mate vs... implications that the cacophony is all the pokemon going at it?
idk. the vibes are different?

[jagged ledge]

Yeah

[weak osprey]

I DID NOT MAKE THAT CONNECTION

[fair thicket]

XD
where's that one sprite

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/concerned-novirak-concern-gif-9423725417083926120

[jagged ledge]

It's ok lol. That's why we thought to clarify

[weak osprey]

That's literally so funny

I was like "What are they talking about?!"

Yeah I literally was thinking, like, Proboscis monkeys being loud to attract mates

Like the louder their call, the more attractive a male proboscis monkey is

[fair thicket]

this poor thing
sometimes things accidentally end up more sexual than intended

[weak osprey]

hahaha understood

[jagged ledge]

I do like the idea you mentioned of them having a sort of swarming out of the cave effect

[weak osprey]

Yeah we can cook with that

[jagged ledge]

Thoughts?

[weak osprey]

Oh! I completely missed that

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME caves are usually dead silent; the slightest noise will alert the swarm within. However, in early spring, POKENAME unleash a cacophony of chittering screeches in hopes of attracting mates.

something like this to merge the ideas

I think you should save the swarm theme for a different nidobat line since there already is an entry for this line

[weak osprey]

Here's a third angle
Cavers must be careful when entering a cavern during the day, lest they disturb a colony of sleeping POKENAME and get battered with wings and poison horns.

[weak osprey]

Yeah this is why we went on the mating season angle in the first place

[jagged ledge]

That could work I think

[weak osprey]

Also why early spring?

We might as well make it late summer if that's when real bats do it, yk?

into autumn, even

[boreal prairie]

oh i just picked something, do the real one if it is known

[boreal prairie]

Yeah and if any pokemon has a "mate finding" theme it is the Nidorans

[weak osprey]

Mmmh good point good point

Would it make more sense for them to mate, like, outside of their caves at night? Cuz otherwise genes are only shared within a single cave, yk?

Lemme look up what real bats do rq so that we write smth that makes sense 😅

https://youtu.be/v9NSqWEO2rE
Here's a bat attracting a mate by screaming and flapping its wings

Swarming is a bat behavior that is hard to describe without making it sound like a giant raging party for swingers. Before hibernation, many northern hemisphere bat species attend swarming events by gathering in large groups of up to thousands of individuals. At a suitable cave or mine, these groups fly around in a flurry of chasing, finding quick opportunities to mate in the chaos. In this setting, bats find mates from other colonies, increasing the population’s genetic diversity.

[boreal prairie]

pokemon don't reproduce they magically create eggs

this is actually a point in the faq lol

[boreal prairie]

Oh maybe thats the one i was remembering haha

we should work on or drowlax collab

my ideas are... dreaming about food lol

[weak osprey]

What abt smth like this?
POKENAME caves are usually dead silent; the slightest noise will alert the swarm within. However, in late summer, POKENAME gather from all over the region, unleashing a cacophony of chittering screeches in the hopes of finding mates.

"all over the region" is prolly an exaggeration but I think it works for a dex entry

[jagged ledge]

I like it!

[weak osprey]

Or people sleeping on its big belly

[boreal prairie]

is there a hyplax sprite?

[weak osprey]

Yes, but lowkey Hypno is creepy shudder

Drowzee's where it's at 😎

[boreal prairie]

The food dreaming for hyplax and the belly sleeping for drowzee maybe

[narrow cosmos]

I'm still proud that one of the first entries I made to get accepted was a fun one for Slowpoke and Snorlax, two friend-shaped doofuses put together.

[weak osprey]

I can submit this under
".fedoraman, ozydamians, & wildheartrazorfangs"
Sounds good to you two?

[boreal prairie]

i don't need credit for this one 🙂 but if it is allowed to have more than one that looks good to me

[weak osprey]

Its lethargic lifestyle means it rarely gets up and moves around for any reason. It takes so long to do so that by the time it is on its feet, it has forgotten the reason it wanted to move in the first place.
Hahaha I love it

[weak osprey]

I based it off of this so you defo deserve credit

I'll submit it with all three names and if there's an issue I will lyk haha

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME feasts on dreams and gets full. if you sleep on its belly you have good dreams.

0th draft

The berry juice in POKENAME's shell is very spicy, reaching upwards of 3,000,000 SHU. POKENAME will only be trained by those who survive drinking its concoction.

[boreal prairie]

perfect prose, no notes. shakespearean. pulitzer prize.

(the joke was before the edit the entry was cut short after a couple words)

[nocturne shadow]

Sorry lol. Finishing now

[boreal prairie]

never seen a more concise entry, im so happy

[weak osprey]

It says so much with so little

I'm in tears ✋ 😔

[boreal prairie]

By the way, I got distracted by the hacked account. I love seeing your entries and your cool ideas!

[nocturne shadow]

Oh no! What happened?

[boreal prairie]

Oh somebody was posting scam links, moderator took care of it

[nocturne shadow]

Fair. Understandable.

[weak osprey]

Omg I thought you were making the berry thing up.
I did not know Shuckle stored and fermented(?) berries in its shell.

[nocturne shadow]

I don't know if I should say 3,000,000 SHU or just 3 Million SHU, but I know I want to making the berry juice ungodly spicy

[weak osprey]

Lemme look up how they write big numbers usually

MAGCARGO’s body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F.

[nocturne shadow]

It's one of Shuckle's cool traits, other than it's insane def and sp. def

[boreal prairie]

The berry juice fermented in its shell is very spicy, reaching upwards of 3,000,000 SHU. To train POKENAME, you must survive drinking the concoction without shedding a tear.

Some concision + a little flavor suggestions

[weak osprey]

"flavor" I see what you did there

[nocturne shadow]

I love it!

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME refuses to drink the blood of any opponent it deems too weak. Only prey that manages to put up a good enough struggle is worth sinking its fangs into.

[nocturne shadow]

Easy dubs, no reaction

[narrow cosmos]

My brain's fried tonight because I'm exhausted from work but I still wanna try and make an entry or two, lol

[weak osprey]

It's nearly midnight for me, but hmu abt this tmr

[nocturne shadow]

Night! I'm still gonna binge Dandandan before I sleep.

[weak osprey]

Gn yall 👋

[nocturne shadow]

80.296.png
With not a thought in its mind, POKENAME still possess remarkable psychic energy. As means of attack, POKENAME shoots their tail like a torpedo and directs it using its powers.

shoot

[boreal prairie]

I can work on concision but worth noting that basically both sentences say the same thing

[narrow cosmos]

I could add a line I deleted about them living in caves near volcanic areas, perhaps. 🤔

[boreal prairie]

It refuses to sink its fangs into a weak opponent. If it deems an opponent worthy, POKENAME drinks its blood to try and siphon the proven power of the challenger.

Maybe just a little more detail and some rearrangement! Volcano cave idea could be good for (pre)vos!

[nocturne shadow]

Should I make an entry for the Homer Simpson alt sprite?

[boreal prairie]

which is that? a grimer?

[nocturne shadow]

It's for the Sloweon

This guy

I kind of have an idea of one

[jagged ledge]

I'm fine if you just submit it under yourself. It's mainly your concept and I'm just happy to help give advice from the background on this one.

Plus I don't know how combined credits work on the document tbh

[jagged ledge]

Good show

[jagged ledge]

Oop too late now I guess, oh well lol. Have a good night though

[nocturne shadow]

Screw it, Homer's being canon to Pokemon

Should I just send the picture in again or do I edit the picture I just sent in?

(Don't want to get flagged for spamming)

[jagged ledge]

You could make a reply post?

[jagged ledge]

Like this?

[nocturne shadow]

ok

[nocturne shadow]

It occasionally nibbles on its donut-like tail, though does not consume anything. Because of this, professors are stumped as to how it gains nutrients.

[wanton oak]

Zubat charizard? WHAT THE G

[regal cedar]

While it is known Pokémon Eggs are a result of reproduction here, making sure details aren't too too specific (or, uh, loud), is appreciated.

[noble schooner]

is there an avaliable Unown here that i can have a DM with about something?

There's something I want to talk about and i don't want to clog up this channel with things i can't explain simply or may not be completely related

it IS regarding a dex entry though

[timid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[noble schooner]

?

[timid sky]

Talk about the thing

[noble schooner]

I would rather to an Unown and just one on one if that's ok.

[weak osprey]

Mornin fellas 👋

[weak osprey]

If you haven't submitted it alreeady, here's another way of expressing this idea that you might like
During a POKENAME attack, it's recommended to lie down and remain motionless. POKENAME will never prey on those who don't fight back.

Although a Pokemon attacking a person and sucking their blood and enjoying it when they struggle might be too dark a concept in the first place :S

[boreal canyon]

Hello again :)

[weak osprey]

Yoooo that's sick
Another one of yours?

[noble schooner]

I would like to request two of my recently submitted entries to be edited if an Unown is present?

[weak osprey]

Here's a little re-write just for style. How do you like this version?
Without a thought in its head, POKENAME still posesses remarkable psychic power. When threatened, its tail can break off and double as a telekinetically-controlled torpedo.

@noble schooner Just had a gander at the sheet, I like your Losharp entries :D

[noble schooner]

Those are the ones I want to edit...

[weak osprey]

Oop

Oh is it the use of "chromatic"?

[noble schooner]

But thank you. They were originally tweaked with the help of another Unown but... I eventually grew not liking them and went to make a new edit

No

[weak osprey]

Oh

Chromatic means "relating to color"

and that one was for the monochrome one

[noble schooner]

I am on the brink of tiredness and completely overlooked that... thank you again

[weak osprey]

Ofc 😎

Is it late where you are?

[noble schooner]

1:10am. Was wanting to correct it before I go to sleep

[weak osprey]

oof

[noble schooner]

Hey, I'm on my phone Rn, you mind sending me the link for the submission form? Need to check something...

[weak osprey]

On it

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyy6tk0zBAVaVga6uZGp1oER-TeA35G1pYB29v2CzkaLtBLA/viewform

[noble schooner]

Thanks

Alright it does still fit, good

[weak osprey]

Also woah you're way on the opposite side of the world from me 😅

[noble schooner]

Sounds about right. Probably the reason why it's tough to get in contact with an Unown. Probably out working or something 😅

[weak osprey]

Alas

[noble schooner]

Here's what I'm hoping to change them to:

"A popular mascot for Game Corners, POKENAME often serves as dealers or stage performers. Typically found in pairs, this half represents "Good Luck,” the colourful joker symbolizing fortune and prosperity." for 354.331

"A popular mascot for Game Corners, POKENAME often serves as dealers or stage performers. Typically found in pairs, this half represents "Bad Luck," the monochromatic joker symbolizing misfortune and caution." for 354.331a

[weak osprey]

Why are "Good Luck" and "Bad Luck" capitalized and in quotes?

[noble schooner]

I guess to refer to the idea of good and bad luck? Usually used when chance is a factor? I don't really know it just felt right

[weak osprey]

[noble schooner]

Since "luck" is not something everyone believes in

But it's heavy symbolism in places like casinos

[weak osprey]

You can represent smth w/o suggesting it exists, yk?

[noble schooner]

Again I don't really know if I'm explaining it right... I'm very tired

[weak osprey]

Sorry 😅

[noble schooner]

In the end the quotations just felt right, but can be removed if needed

[weak osprey]

It's not a big deal

I was just offering my two-cents

[noble schooner]

I know, you're all g

[weak osprey]

Ooo one other thing.
I'd say "serve" since "dealers or state performers" is plural.

[noble schooner]

Fair point

[boreal canyon]

yup

sorry for delayed answer x)

[weak osprey]

nw

[weak osprey]

I'm having trouble finding this on the database

what's the code?

OH IT'S LYCANROC I'M DUMB NVM

Yk the midday form is still free if you wanna swoop in there and make it match your midnight form

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME was thought to be an undiscovered variant of Toedscool until further research was taken. Its leg-like tentacles are deceptively strong, and deliver a potent dose of poison with every kick.

[weak osprey]

"research was performed"

Also what is this a fusion of?

[narrow cosmos]

Tentacool and Hitmonlee. I've taken to hitting random on the dex for inspiration and it got me Tyrogue/Tentacool, and I checked some evolutions.

[weak osprey]

Cool!
Other than that one edit I'd say it looks good :)

[narrow cosmos]

Thanks for the fix! I kept thinking that taken wasn't really the right word I wanted to use, but the better word wasn't clicking into my head. Morning brain.

[fair thicket]

the kicks give it away 😌

[narrow cosmos]

I'm trying my best to one day reach 500 approved entries, halfway there.

[weak osprey]

wowowowo :v

How long have you been at it?

[jagged ledge]

I believe in you!

[narrow cosmos]

On-and-off for a couple months I think. I only recently started really going on a streak of submitting a few ideas a day if I can, and I'm only halfway there because the Unowns were on an approval/judgement streak hard last week.

[weak osprey]

Still

That's inspirational

[narrow cosmos]

Alas, some were not approved, and as is the human brain, the handful of disapproval fills me with unending shame.

(I may be exaggerating a little. )

[weak osprey]

I'm gonna have to keep track of how many of mine get approved

[fair thicket]

Also mood

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, I just regularly hit Ctrl F for my name on the Approved tabs to see if number go up, haha.

[boreal canyon]

[narrow cosmos]

Looking at the reasoning given, I can at least see why the ones that weren't dupes being replaced got denied. To think that I'd somehow have a perfect streak would be silly, anyway.

[boreal canyon]

Good luck with the dex

[narrow cosmos]

Its legs are retractable and extremely dexterous, able to extend to lengths of almost ten feet. POKENAME will extend its legs mid-kick in order to wrap around an opponent and crush it with its powerful constriction.

Meanwhile, the reverse of the previous.

[weak osprey]

Yooo that's sick

I think that's a 💅 𝓈𝓁𝒶𝓎

[fair thicket]

🤔 is there specification anywhere about what units to use?
i ask because if you switch to metric, you avoid potential confusion that might be caused by the juxtaposition of "legs" and "feet"

[narrow cosmos]

True, I'm not sure if there's specifics to measurement and number examples in the FAQ or dexes in general, since there's some instances of numbers but I'm not sure about length. 🤔

I could maybe simplify it by something more general like "extend to thrice their normal length" or some such. 🤔

[weak osprey]

I think its clear enough, but if anything just say "3 meters"

[fair thicket]

what's the pokemon that's canonically hotter than the sun?

[weak osprey]

Cuz that gives a real sense of scale

[weak osprey]

Magcargo XD

[boreal canyon]

Metric is more used worldwide so I think that you should go for metric

[fair thicket]

yeye
only issue would be if that kicks the character count too high

[narrow cosmos]

Apologies for my Ameri-centric mathematics in the brain. XD

[weak osprey]

It won't

tbf I'm p sure the canon dex uses imperial sometimes

[fair thicket]

yeah this.

[narrow cosmos]

Another reason we can be a little facetious and exaggerated, numbers in the Pokedex canonically mean little.

[weak osprey]

istg they use miles and lbs and feet sometimes 🤔

[narrow cosmos]

To be fair, across 1000+ entries you're bound to find inconsistencies.

[weak osprey]

No ik

I'm just saying that there's precedent to using either

Charizard

Its wings can carry this POKéMON close to an altitude of 4,600 feet. It blows out fire at very high temperatures.

I agree that metric is the better choice tho

[fair thicket]

(to be perfectly fair, lightning strikes are five times hotter than the surface of the sun)
(but also, they, like, ionize the air around them and you can't pet them, so comme ci comme ça)

[weak osprey]

And they only exist for an instant haha

[narrow cosmos]

Come to think of it, Toedscool's dex that I referred to is also an example, it lists them running at 30 MPH.

[boreal canyon]

To add a little of salt, metric is way more coherent and logic than imperial

[weak osprey]

Agreed

MAGCARGO’s body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact.
Here's more imperial 😅

Btw @boreal canyon I'm working on your Glicanroc rn

[boreal canyon]

[narrow cosmos]

I adjusted it to the meters for this one, just because meters sounds kinda better, too.

Onward to the next fusion to inspire me!

[boreal canyon]

You want one of mines?

[narrow cosmos]

._term, yeah? I'll look over a few and see if I can knock out one you approve of!

[boreal canyon]

Yeah it's ._term.

[fair thicket]

"A thirteen-year-old claimed he saw one in the wild and was ridiculed by his peers for trying to outdo the coolness of his friend's charizard."

[boreal canyon]

?

[weak osprey]

LMAO

[boreal canyon]

I should also submit dex of all my #1240773622612889681 entries

[weak osprey]

:o

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME are thought to be the last remnants of a civilization lost to time. They wander across the world, longing to find even a trace of their home's history.

Whatcha think, term?

[boreal canyon]

I'll check in 5 minutes, irl stuff

[weak osprey]

Oh yeah I need to go eat breakfast lmao I'll also brb

[fair thicket]

"Pfft, you saw a pokemon that was a werewolf and a vampire and had poison spikes? I know you're jealous of my charizard, Timmy. You don't have to make it so obvious."
Meanwhile Timmy's like "But I did see it! I swear! "

[timid sky]

You say that like outdoing the coolness of Charizard is difficult

[boreal canyon]

Maybe instead of "home's history" it could be "kin's record"?

[fair thicket]

you're right, you're right. 😌 i should have said 8yos
The one pokemon I was aware of in elementary/middle school was charizard as the epitome of coolness

[boreal canyon]

Oh okay, I first thought you were saying that the Glisroc was Timmy x)

[narrow cosmos]

I'll adjust it to that, then!

[boreal canyon]

If you're okay with it, I'm only suggesting stuff and I wanted to use kin because I love that word x)

[fair thicket]

XD That's a different legend

[boreal canyon]

That's why I was confused as first

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME are considered quite dangerous despite its cute and friendly appearance. Its small body cannot properly contain the toxins that cause lingering burns, so an errant touch could have excruciating results.

"Aw, what a cute Pichu, let me just pet it OH ARCEUS WHY 🔥 "

[boreal canyon]

Did you submitted?

[timid sky]

https://tenor.com/view/demon-girl-bongo-cat-gif-24501844

[fair thicket]

you did the singular and plural thing again~

[narrow cosmos]

Not yet, pondering the usage of kin for the moment, just went to another entry while I waited.

[narrow cosmos]

DANG IT

[boreal canyon]

Okay

[fair thicket]

ever since SilphCo invented DNA splicers, pet shops have started stocking special rubber gloves

[boreal canyon]

it's also that imo kin is stronger in meaning than home

[fair thicket]

"It is rumored that POKENAME was once a young boy overcome with envious desire to outdo the coolness of his friends."
or something 🤭 a la that Kadabra entry

[timid sky]

It's not the electricity that's the problem

[fair thicket]

🤔

POKENAME is considered quite dangerous despite its cute and friendly appearance. Its small body cannot properly contain the toxins that cause lingering burns, so an errant touch will have excruciating results.

I think definitive works better here 😌

[fair thicket]

double-reinforced rubber gloves 😌

[timid sky]

Can rubber block toxins?

[boreal canyon]

With quick movements, POKENAME chases down its foes, attacking relentlessly. It uses blasts of fire that consumes all that it touches and toxic gas.

One of my Elusive dex entries and probably my favorite one

[fair thicket]

i thought so. that's what people use when handling garbage, right?
maybe there's a different fabric if it's especially toxic garbage 🤔

🤔 hmm, what type of material are these...

yeah, i think the first three are types of rubber 🤔

[fair thicket]

this is submitted and in-game?

[boreal canyon]

Not the dex, the sprite yes

Elusive dex is a discord event

[boreal canyon]

And the feedback was this

And I agree

@fair thicket so if you have any idea on how to reword the second half, I'm taking it

[fair thicket]

ye, that was something i was thinking. As it stands it sounds like the blasts of fire consume random toxic gasses 🤔
lemme think...

[gentle frost]

Maybe switching the order to “toxic gas and fire that consumes all it touches “ would sound more natural?

[boreal canyon]

I think I've forgot a "create" x)

[boreal canyon]

Perhaps

[crude karma]

every reaction from dnd player with cute ennemy

[boreal canyon]

I can't remember what I was thinking when I wrote it x)

[timid sky]

One of these days I'm going to have to play DND

[boreal canyon]

Oh I think I remember

Yeah, it was that it uses fire and toxic gas

[jagged ledge]

Would recommend, it's fun

[narrow cosmos]

It gathers egg-shaped stones and carries them away to create makeshift nests. These nests are always in the vicinity of ruins, suggesting a significance to their placement.

Hey, finally was able to make something for an Unown body.

[boreal canyon]

Cutely nice

[fair thicket]

switching the order would be my first go-to, yeah, so I want to think it over

[boreal canyon]

Maybe it can be reworded but I like the idea of toxic gas and fire that burns everything

https://tenor.com/view/planktonf-is-for-fun-kik-fire-burn-down-gif-14331101

[fair thicket]

🤔 how does it use the toxic gas? in conjunction with the fire? is it flammable gas that helps the fire spread? or are they different tools, one for more precise work and one for a general "gtfo"?

[timid sky]

What's G, Gasoline that helps the fire spread?

[boreal canyon]

Lemme think

OH

I may have a new idea

https://tenor.com/view/bombardier-beetle-smoke-spray-bug-gif-17490077

[fair thicket]

bombadier beetle?

[boreal canyon]

What if it was a burning gas that is also toxic?

[boreal canyon]

Yeah, it just popped in my head

[fair thicket]

😌 also a good plan

[boreal canyon]

The first half of the dex stay unchanged because I want it to stay like that so time to reword second one

It's main weapon is a powerful outburst of a burning gas that is highly toxic if breathed.

What about that?

[boreal canyon]

With quick movements, POKENAME chases down its foes, attacking relentlessly. It's main weapon is a powerful burst of a burning gas, which is highly toxic if inhaled.

Idk if it's not too many characters tho

[fair thicket]

🤔 i think you can just say "burst" instead of "outburst", and use "inhaled" instead of "breathed"

[boreal canyon]

Edited

Also replaced that with which

[fair thicket]

nowhere close. only ~163

[boreal canyon]

Okay

[boreal canyon]

-# time to use the rest of the characters to describe the toxin

[boreal canyon]

"... which will induce severe cardiovascular toxicity if inhaled."

Idk, is it too "much" if I replace the which part with this ?

Anyways, I'll brb

[weak osprey]

@boreal canyon
I got caught up with irl stuff but I'm just gonna shower and then get back to it 🫡

[fair thicket]

POKENAME protect themselves by mimicking displays of aggressive Noivern. They are highly coveted companions for trainers who intend to hunt rare and dangerous Pokemon.

okay, so this is an attempt to redo the previous^ entry, but reduced to its bare bones

I also want to ensure I communicate that they mimic displays of aggression (like so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agonistic_behaviour) characteristic of Noivern, not that Noivern themselves are aggressive or that they only mimic Noivern who are aggressive.

https://www.fusiondex.org/202.441/

mmm i think the part about them turning powerful attacks against a threat is necessary in order for the second sentence to flow from the first

[boreal canyon]

Take your time

[fair thicket]

Sometimes, the sound and shape of a cave-dwelling Noivern may merely be the mimicry of a POKENAME, but that doesn't mean you're out of danger. Attacks inflicted against POKENAME will echo back thricefold.

🤔 I'd like to be able to include the thing about legendary hunters, but I'm low on character availability

[timid sky]

So then don't attack it

https://tenor.com/view/modern-problems-solutions-dave-chapelle-gif-13450651

[fair thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/eeyup-mlp-my-little-pony-gif-5373831

~~it has Shadow Tag though ~~

[fair thicket]

Intrepid trainers have found ways to exploit this behavior to hunt rare and dangerous pokemon - nope, adds double the character count of what is allowed

Intrepid trainers can exploit this behavior to hunt rare and dangerous pokemon. also over the limit

😔 i may have to yeet the hint about using Shadow Tag against roamers

[fair thicket]

but that doesn't mean you're out of danger. 🤔 there's a better way to put this

also thricefold doesn't appear to be a word

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME mimic Noivern cries, but its still dangerous. You can use this mimicry to hunt legendary Pokémon.

0-draft. These are the ideas you want, right?

Rather than trimming down, it could help to embellish up

[fair thicket]

well, it's not just sound. the bullseye pattern on the wings is held at the level of where the ears would be on a noivern, so there's a visual component to the mimicry, too

[boreal prairie]

New words are coined all the time!

[fair thicket]

threefold is one fewer character

[boreal prairie]

However, threefold already does exost

👯

wait no there probably is literally a jynx emoji

[fair thicket]

oh, you mean ninja'd 🥷

no wait that's only if you outspeed me

[boreal prairie]

[fair thicket]

eh, regardless 😌

[boreal prairie]

Hm, yeah, I can't find a way to get your third idea in.

[tiny turtle]

hello

i'm new here

[fair thicket]

Hi new here
I'm Worm

[tiny turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/lone-wolf-bear-the-storm-im-strong-enough-wolf-gif-14992414

i have an idea for two pokéfusions i made (Magmortar and Electivire/Blastoise)

[fair thicket]

do tell 😌

[tiny turtle]

but don't know how to execute it

[fair thicket]

throw us the sprite and some ideas and we can see what we can do

[tiny turtle]

these two guys

as Electivire and Magmortar are already rivals

[fair thicket]

oh what the hell is that zappy thing with the electricity that's in every mad scientist depiction
the thing replacing blastoise's cannons for the electivire fusion
what's the word

anyway, the zappy cannon and the steam cannon 😌

[tiny turtle]

pole?

[boreal prairie]

The unexpected cry of a Noivern may be the mimicry of a POKENAME, but that doesn't mean you're safe; attacks against it echo back threefold. Intrepid trainers exploit this ruse to hunt rare and dangerous pokemon.

213 characters

[boreal prairie]

these sprites are dope. So your main idea is emphasizing rivalry between them?

[tiny turtle]

yes

i'm really not great at writing stories, though

and i saw you guys are really creative

[tiny turtle]

tesla?

[boreal prairie]

some ideas i have is about establishing territories that they each defend against, with some irony about both of them being not so great places that they make even worse with their fighting (ruined/burned buildings, dried up lake beds)

I gotta step away for a bit but i'll be sure to think about it more and see what other people came up with while im gone!

[boreal prairie]

the ruined place idea because they look kind of like kainu to me

[tiny turtle]

that's kind of what i intended, so that's great, thx

specially that tail in the 2nd

[tiny turtle]

thanks, that's a really cool suggestion

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME will ferry travelers across the oceans, but only after it has been bested in battle to prove the passengers' worth. It guards those it ferries with fierce flames and piercing shards of ice.

[fair thicket]

the zappy thing that looks like bunny ear antennae that constantly has a wave of electricity climbing up it!
i've seen it a million times and don't know what it's called!

[narrow cosmos]

Kinda had to make up the second sentence since the first already combined the Lapras and Charizard gimmicks pretty succinctly.

[tiny turtle]

that's a tesla tower

[fair thicket]

"Unlike normal lapras, these guys sure as shit ain't being hunted to extinction"

[narrow cosmos]

You're the one gonna be extinct tonight, bub"

[timid sky]

Me who hated Charizard:

https://tenor.com/view/sure-john-cena-are-you-sure-gif-5783187

[fair thicket]

🤔 like these guys, but have very obvious knobs on the end and are constantly depicted with a wave of electricity crawling up them

every single cartoon has them when depicting science in some way, i swear

[tiny turtle]

bunny ear antenna? (as you already said)

[fair thicket]

it's not important. 😔 i was just trying to find an example of what the electivire's cannons looked like

[narrow cosmos]

Feels like it's gonna end up being a simple term like arc tower or some really obtuse term, no inbetween

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is fiercely protective to humanity. Rivalries develop amongst its own kind as different POKENAME battle to see which of them is more fit to be guardian to humans in their territory.

Conversely, when you're so kindhearted you tell your brothers "piss off, I'm protecting this one and that's final."

[fair thicket]

It's a Jacob's Ladder!

[tiny turtle]

"POKENAME can be found in a variety of destroyed urban spaces. Being exceptionally territorial, POKENAME can use their ability to" and then i gave up

[tiny turtle]

it doesn't settle well their rivalry

[tiny turtle]

ye, never heard of that

but i see now

👏

[timid sky]

What Pokémon?

[fair thicket]

prolly this guy

[tiny turtle]

ye

it's good to strucure before starting to write the actual description

[tiny turtle]

shou've done that

[timid sky]

In that case, how about "POKENAME can use their ability to shock any intruders"

Little bare bones, but it's the first thing that came to mind

[fair thicket]

feel like it needs more oomph with that build up

something something fences of electrical arcs that roast intruders alive

or fancy shmancy electrical arc shows that would look beautiful if they weren't coming right for your head

[timid sky]

Maybe "blast any intruders with electricity" would be better?

[tiny turtle]

blast a beautifully orchestrated wave of electricity

maybe change the "beautifully"

[fair thicket]

🤔

POKENAME can be found in a variety of destroyed urban spaces. Being exceptionally territorial, POKENAME use their electrical powers to create stunning light shows to scare off intruders. Those who don't flee at the display should expect the next shock right in their heart.

no idea what the character count is on that

lmao, ~20 over

[tiny turtle]

very cool

sad that we can't put the rivalry

Characters 273

ye, 23 over

[narrow cosmos]

Sometimes referred to as "The Machine Queen," POKENAME has influence over all mechanical Pokémon. The orb on its staff is able to power-up or power-down any technology, a power only POKENAME can activate.

These types of fusions are interesting to try and make given the lean towards "no artificially-created Pokemon," which was the reasoning for two previous entries I made being rejected. 🤔 Still, I think this one's decent.

[weak osprey]

Gliscor / Lycanroc (Midnight)
273.465
Sprite by ._term.
Glisroc, the Fang Wolf Pokémon:
Abandond as a pup, POKENAME is believed to stalk onto homesteads under the cover of night and drain the blood from livestock. Sightings are rare and fleeting, for POKENAME silently takes off into the night sky when it hears someone approaching.

Gligar / Rockruff
207.463
Sprite by antler_zero_
Gliruff, the Fly-Scorpion Puppy Pokémon
Initially bred as adept climbers and hunters, POKENAME are now kept as novelty pets. As Pokémon made to work outside, their boundless energy is too much for most owners, ending in their all-too-common abandonment.

[boreal canyon]

[weak osprey]

Rockruff's canon entries mention it being abandoned, so it felt like a natural angle for its "lone wolf" form

[fair thicket]

🤔 not sure what the "Abandoned as a pup" part is doing. As in the legend is that Glisroc is a rockruff abandoned as a pup? Something else?
I feel like silently takes off can be replaced by flees to be less wordy. though i'm not sure if removing silently removes too much information

[fair thicket]

ah

[weak osprey]

Yeah I could reword it to make it clear that its attacks are, like, out of spite.

and I like the imagery of it silently taking off in to the night sky since it's literally flying.

Lemme take another go at and you and Term can weigh in

[fair thicket]

well, you already have into the night sky, so that makes takes off unnecessary

[weak osprey]

Oh fair

Abandoned as a pup, POKENAME harbors resentment for humanity, sneaking into towns under the cover of night to torment them. Windows broken in, furniture ripped and livestock drained of blood are hallmark signs of a POKENAME.

Smth like this?

Or this:
Abandoned as a pup, POKENAME harbors resentment for humanity, sneaking into towns under the cover of night to drain blood from livestock. Sightings are rare and fleeting, for POKENAME disappears into the night sky when someone approaches.

[fair thicket]

i think i prefer the second, but that might be because it's closest to your initial entry, heh

[weak osprey]

@boreal canyon
Your judgement is needed 😌

I also wrote up some entries for the reverse fusions that I'll shoot your way once Term weighs in on this one

[fair thicket]

🤔 🅰️:

Sometimes, the sound and shape of a cave-dwelling Noivern may merely be the mimicry of a POKENAME, but don't mistake your relief for safety: attacks inflicted against POKENAME will echo back threefold and escape can be nigh impossible.

or 🅱️:

Sometimes, the sound and shape of a cave-dwelling Noivern may merely be the mimicry of a POKENAME, but don't mistake your relief for safety: escape is nigh impossible, and attacks inflicted against POKENAME will echo back threefold.

or 🇨:

?

[weak osprey]

Oh I'm not caught up, which fusion is this for?

[fair thicket]

my boy again
https://www.fusiondex.org/202.441/

While I do like the "used to hunt legendaries" aspect, i think the Shadow Tag hint present in A and B might have to suffice. 😔

[glacial juniper]

this goes so hard it should be official

[weak osprey]

I like B

[timid sky]

You could make it official

[fair thicket]

🤔 the main quibble is that it's redundant

[timid sky]

Just remove the first sentence

Or add the "outrageously furious" part to the second sentence

[weak osprey]

I mean I feel like you could work in the boombox too 🤔

Like that it blasts music really loud to torment them, yk?

[fair thicket]

well then it'd just be the noivern entry from Sword:

[timid sky]

Fair point

[fair thicket]

Aggressive and cruel, this Pokémon will ruthlessly torment enemies with its sick beats while they suffer helplessly in the dark. 

[weak osprey]

Yeah that's not bad!

I'd say submit that

[fair thicket]

Shpleebz can do it. They had the original idea, after all.

[glacial juniper]

you don't mind me copying and pasting?

[fair thicket]

👍 go for it

[narrow cosmos]

Shedinja congregate near POKENAME, some venturing in and out of its seemingly-hollow shell. Some believe those that Shedinja entering POKENAME's body are storing the spirits they've stolen within its confines.

[weak osprey]

That's amazing

I might get rid of the hypen btwn seemingly and hollow

btw since we had so much fun with it last night, do we wanna brainstorm entries for one or two more from this line? (Crobat/NidoranM is on the high-priority list)

[fair thicket]

ah, we had "fun" did we
cacophonous "fun"

[weak osprey]

And our entry got accepted btw

So as a reminder:
Nidoran-M: skittish, big ears, poison horn, protective of females
Golbat: Sucks blood (until it gets too full and can't fly)

Wait I mixed them up on the chat haha

There we go haha

[timid sky]

Can I just point out that the fact that golbat doesn't evolve until level 40 is ridiculous

[weak osprey]

So yk how only female mosquitoes draw blood? We could do smth like that where only Goldoran-F drink blood or smth 😅

[fair thicket]

this pokemon jsut fluckin. vores all the blood. jsut all of it. and then regurgitates it into the mouths of brooding females so they can lay strong eggs with healthy pups inside.

don't listen to me i give terrible advice. i haven't even vacuumed today

[weak osprey]

I'm gonna go pour myself a drink ||of banana smoothie :D||
brb

[boreal canyon]

This one

[weak osprey]

Smoothie aquired 😎

[weak osprey]

The Crab has Spoken

[reef pine]

I see some people post their sprites in sprite gallery with a custom dex entry written out. is that picked up through there, or nah?

cause typically you can't submit an entry til the sprite is in the game i think?

[ebon warren]

That’s for them to easily keep track of the entry

The only way to submit is through the link in the

[reef pine]

good to know, thank you!

[livid nimbus]

is there a way to see if my submission was verified

or do i have to check the spreadsheet 24/7

[narrow cosmos]

With a shell too heavy for flight, POKENAME instead lived as a fierce undersea hunter. Its wings allowed it to swim at high speeds, firing spikes from its shell at schools of fish, feasting on the skewered victims.

[narrow cosmos]

Pretty sure the best way is just to check the approved tab every so often and see if your name/entry's popped up.

[weak osprey]

I think it's just the spreadsheet ._.

[jagged ledge]

Spreadsheet

[livid nimbus]

noted

lemme get my submission so i get opinions here first

In a strange twist of fate, This Magikarp was chosen by Necrozma as a vessel for transportation in water. The shimmers of light that emanate from the black crystals throughout its body shine through the shallow depths of caves and ponds.

[fair thicket]

🤔 you read the FAQ?

i feel like there's a guideline against specifying how wild fusion happens? would have to check

🤔 back to the entry itself - "the crystals" sounds like you're referring to the Strange Prisms, but I imagine you're referring to the scales of this fusion?

[weak osprey]

Yeah they say that it should be kept vague.
I think this could work with a few small changes

[livid nimbus]

no, the weird prisms that normal necrozma has

i didnt wanna say prisms again because that would be repetitive

[fair thicket]

but you're referring to the body parts of the fusion, not the Strange Prisms that mutate the magikarp, ye?

[livid nimbus]

correct

[weak osprey]

I think that much is clear

But you could say "crystals on its body"

[livid nimbus]

yeah thats fair

[fair thicket]

i think saying "this fusion's crystals" or some such would also work, yeah

[livid nimbus]

lemme give this a rewrite and see if it makes more logical sense

[weak osprey]

I'm just wondring why Strange Prisms is capitalized?

[livid nimbus]

because its an item ingame

games usually do that

[weak osprey]

Fair enough

[fair thicket]

that's how it is in the game, i reckon

[weak osprey]

I did not know that 😅

I just spoke with Merc this morning abt whether or not to capitalize "Good Luck" so I didn't know if it was a situation like that

[livid nimbus]

complete rewrite

[fair thicket]

Think the first sentence can be easily amended to POKENAME is a type of Magikarp thought to have been mutated by the power of Strange Prisms around Kanto. - turning it into rumor, y'know?
🤔 As for the second...
The shimmer of light that emanates from the crystals shine through the shallow water of caves and ponds i mean sure, but... so what? light does tend to shine. what specifically are you trying to draw attention to?

[fair thicket]

"Alienly"?

[livid nimbus]

yes

alien = strange, foreign

"it feels kind of alien to me"

[weak osprey]

I'm not a fan of "Alienly" as a sentence adverb

[livid nimbus]

i tried to be a little fancy 😭

[weak osprey]

I see what you were going for tho

[livid nimbus]

should i just replace it with a more boring word

like Oddly

[fair thicket]

heh, i'm the opposite. 😅 I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean in this sentence, beyond a possible rewording of it being a rare occurrence

[fair thicket]

before we do that, let's see what you're going for

[weak osprey]

It's just meant to be like "Strangely"

[livid nimbus]

yeah

fancier version

its in british english

[fair thicket]

as in it's strange that necrozma would choose magikarp as a vessel?

or something else?

[livid nimbus]

why would a pokemon that could rival literal gods choose one of the weakest pokemon

that would certainly be strange

[weak osprey]

I think "In a strange twist of fate"

[livid nimbus]

OOOOH

[weak osprey]

or "reversal of fate"

[livid nimbus]

I LIKE THAT

[fair thicket]

:nodnod: that's the vibe, i gotcha now

[fair thicket]

just to make sure we're on the same page here, you'd rather go with the idea that this fusion is a magikarp possessed by necrozma rather than a magikarp mutated by the power of the Strange Prisms? or is it some combination of the two?
and then you want to draw attention to the eerie imagery of light shimmering under water?

[livid nimbus]

i just changed it into necrozma fusing itself into the magikarp
and i chose the light thing because
1 - most water pokemon with lights only give slight glows, like Lanturn
2 - filler

i did think it would be funny if i talked about its mouth in a way

but i can guarantee im not the first

[fair thicket]

🤔 so you're not particularly married to anything in the second sentence, then

[livid nimbus]

maybe i could talk about the makeshift arms

yeah ill do that actually

[fair thicket]

yeah, i'm not against the second sentence and its contents - it is lovely, eerie imagery - it just stands out as weird in a dex entry. Usually it'd say something about "gatherings of POKENAME cause eerie lights beneath the water" or something rather than just a description of what light does when it's underwater

[livid nimbus]

In a strange twist of fate, This Magikarp was chosen by Necrozma as a vessel for transportation in water. The arms were not there originally, before they mutated into the fins of the Magikarp and grew outwards.

boom

[weak osprey]

Thank you for reposting it haha

[livid nimbus]

i was getting tired of scrolling too

[weak osprey]

Maybe "aquatic transportation", just for conscision (omg I can never spell that word)

[livid nimbus]

alright

thatll be the last touch up before i throw this thing into the form

[weak osprey]

Wait 1 more thing

😅

[livid nimbus]

god-

[weak osprey]

Dark crystals grew out from where its fins used to be, becoming terrible(?) claws.

[fair thicket]

let's see, the FAQ says

[weak osprey]

I think that Necrozma choosing to fuse is vague enough

[fair thicket]

so yeah i think necrozma possessing magikarp could work?

[livid nimbus]

yeah

alright

its been done

[fair thicket]

grotesque, loathsome, monstrous, cruel?

[weak osprey]

The deed has been done ✋😌

[livid nimbus]

too late for fanciness now

[fair thicket]

ah

[livid nimbus]

wait

can i make dex entries for triple fusions

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/brake-van-gif-13859589

[weak osprey]

Do they have dex entries?

Cuz you can't catch them, right?

[fair thicket]

i think this has come up and the answer was "no"?
or "just for funzies"

[livid nimbus]

you can make them in postgame

and they have custom dex entries

so

might as well

[weak osprey]

Oop

telling on myself

[livid nimbus]

they all have the same shtick

POKENAME is a three-way fusion between P1, P2, and P3 that was created using Team Rocket's fusion machine. Further improvements by Colress has made the fusion stable enough to be used in battles.

its that

changed in tune with the fusions

[weak osprey]

Mmmh

[fair thicket]

you'll have to ask an unown or something

[weak osprey]

Shifting gears, I drafted up some potential entries for a Nidran-M/Golbat line, but idk how to feel abt it. It's kinda uninspired but there really isn't much to go off of 😓

[fair thicket]

you... kept the question mark?

In a strange twist of fate, This Magikarp was chosen by Necrozma as a vessel for aquatic transportation. Dark crystals grew out from where its fins used to be, becoming terrible(?) claws.

[livid nimbus]

no

[weak osprey]

Wait no you did

[livid nimbus]

i removed it in the form

[fair thicket]

this is what the googledoc has for your entry some shenanigans are afoot, it seems

[livid nimbus]

SHIT

[weak osprey]

lmao

I'm rolling

[fair thicket]

😅 we'll probably need to add "What if I make a mistake in my submission?" to the FAQ

[livid nimbus]

fuck it

im just gonna hope ONE of them land

[fair thicket]

so we know whether the answer should be "ping an unown" or "resubmit with the correction"

[weak osprey]

Yeee

[fair thicket]

or whether if it's something as small as a typo or extra punctuation you can just assume that'll get removed in the edit

[livid nimbus]

check the spreadsheet

[fair thicket]

dammit is unown a role we can ping as a whole or do we have to find someone specific

[weak osprey]

You can hang tight

[weak osprey]

istg I saw someone do it the other day

[fair thicket]

i meant more in general
i also made a slight mistake in an accepted entry, where the alt with sfx is missing an "its" that's present in the one without sfx (or vice versa) and i want to confirm they'll be streamlined

[weak osprey]

Oh wait sorry I shoulda put punctuation there

You can. Hang tight (while I figure it out)

[fair thicket]

ah, i see 👍

[weak osprey]

No that was my bad

Lmao that would've been so shady of me

You can sit and wait 🙄

Yeah I give up I can't figure it out

ik the role is smth like Unown (Dex entries)

[craggy beacon]

doesnt look like unown is pingable

[weak osprey]

Unfortunate

Anyway, here's what I have written for the Nidoran-M/Golbat

Golbat / Nidoran (42.32)
Contrary to popular belief, male POKENAME do not drink blood. They play-fight with their siblings from a young age to practice using their fangs and poisonous horn.

Golbat / Nidorino (42.33)
As they grow, POKENAME wings stay the same size, becoming more of a threat display than a means of flight. They protect their young while females hunt for blood with which to feed their offspring.

Golbat / Nidoking (42.34)
POKENAME is too heavy for its wings to lift it, but it unfurls them when facing off against a foe. If this display does not deter their opponent, they will open their jaw wide and release a disorienting screech.

I wasn't particularly inspired by this line but this is the best I can come up with 😓

[fair thicket]

42.32 makes it sound like the behavior that's mistaken for blood-drinking is actually play-fighting 🤔

[weak osprey]

Mmmh yeah

They're honestly two disconnected ideas

Any ideas on how else to write the entry? 🤔

[fair thicket]

lemme take a look at it after dinner

[weak osprey]

tyt your time

[narrow cosmos]

I don't think it's that much of an issue if the Pokedex entry gives two separate facts about a Pokemon that are a bit disconnected, I feel like there's some examples of that across the series. You could reverse the sentence order and that does eliminate some of the potential confusion Worm mentioned.

42.33 has a bit of a grammar issue I notice. "They protect their young while females while hunt" I'm guessing the second while is meant to be "will" or just excised. 🤔

Third one seems good to me!

[weak osprey]

Ooop

Yes "while the females hunt"

Maybe I say "These Pokémon playfight" rather than "They playfight"?

Or "from a young age" maybe?

[narrow cosmos]

"They play-fight with their siblings from a young age" perhaps? 🤔

Or roughhouse with their siblings, if you wanna switch terms a little.

[weak osprey]

Eh, I like play-fight

Okay I've made the edits. Any other comments or critiques before I submit them?

I'll submit them then 🫡

Rockruff/Gligar (463.207)
Packs of POKENAME are very close-knit, doing everything together. When hunting, the children employ hit-and-run tactics, battering their prey with their club-like tails before the adults swoop in for the kill.

Lycanroc Midday/Gliscor (474.273)
As parents, POKENAME allow their children to learn from their mistakes, but they are not so patient with non-pack members. Those who travel through badlands know to bring extra food so that they may be permitted access through POKENAME territory.

Lycanroc Midnight/Gliscor (465.273)
POKENAME who hunt without the intent to eat are ostracized from its packs. This Pokémon seem content flying alone, catching Pokémon even larger than itself by surprise and dragging them off cliffs with its strong prehensile tail.

[narrow cosmos]

1st entry needs an edit real quick, "Packs of POKENAME [are] very close-knit."

2nd all seems good, I think!

3rd needs an adjustment, same as I usually do, there's a plural/singular contrast here. Maybe just shift the first sentence to say "ostracized from [its] packs." That puts it in line with the second sentence.

[weak osprey]

Me and my plurals

[narrow cosmos]

Been there, trust me.

When closed, its jaws help complete a protective shell around its head. Timid despite its imposing appearance, POKENAME will bite attackers with its powerful jaws, while also delivering poison from the tips of its fangs.

[weak osprey]

I'm curious, for the 2nd one, is it clear that the pack of Lycancor / Rockgar are circling to threaten the people coming in and only leave them alone if they give them food in exchange?

Oh wait

I don't mention the circling

But aside from that, is it clear that the food is meant as, like, a "peace offering" so to speak?

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, I think the second sentence gets that implication across, in my opinion.

[weak osprey]

💅

[weak osprey]

Hmm looks good to me! I like the "completes a protective shell around its head" bit

[fair thicket]

🤔 you do repeat the word "jaws"

[weak osprey]

I think they're far apart enough

[narrow cosmos]

I shifted it to have the first sentence say its mouth completes the shell, I think that cleans it up good. Thanks!

[jagged ledge]

I really like these entries and I am making notes to get these fusions in a future run

[narrow cosmos]

Using its psychic powers recklessly causes the material of POKENAME's disguise to rupture at the head and leak stuffing. It will drop whatever it was doing instantly and retreat in order to repair the damage.

Duk

[jagged ledge]

I approve of this duk

[fair thicket]

i feel like "leak stuffing" might be superfluous, given we can see that on the sprite itself. 🤔 I also feel like "drop whatever it's doing" and "instantly" are the same thing? or at least imply each other?

🤔 does it commonly use its psychic powers recklessly or is that more of a warning to trainers?

why are Psyduck and Golduck not Psychic types anyway

[narrow cosmos]

I did think "split at the seams" as an alternative but I wanted to reference the sprite visuals if I could. Instantly could be excised, most likely, I imagine.

It's more a warning to trainers but its likely not unheard of for the Pokemon to do it to itself. We all overestimate how much we can handle of something at times, even if it's something we should know better about. 🤔

[fair thicket]

it might be that "leak" is an odd word to use to refer to stuffing, but that could absolutely be intentional and I'm just quibbling.

[weak osprey]

extrude stuffing

[narrow cosmos]

Fancy!

Leak was the only word I could think of for it at the time, even though it is odd as a word for stuffing yeah.

[fair thicket]

drippy stuffing 🤭

[narrow cosmos]

Using its psychic powers recklessly will cause the material of POKENAME's disguise to rupture at the head and extrude stuffing. It will hastily drop whatever it was doing and retreat in order to repair the damage.

Adjusted a little, and "hastily" could be excised if needed. just thought it sounded better than instantly and implied a panic on the Pokemon's part.

[weak osprey]

Omg no I meant extrude as a joke

[fair thicket]

spaghettification

[weak osprey]

I think extrude is a bit much 🤔

"Expel stuffing"?
"Lose stuffing"?

[narrow cosmos]

Lose stuffing should work, I guess I don't need to gussy it up much in this case. 🤔

[fair thicket]

"spill stuffing" might be plain enough that the juxtaposition of something poofy like stuffing with a term used for liquids doesn't sound off

or at least, sounds intentionally off

or uhhhh words

[weak osprey]

I think either of those terms are good enough 😅

[narrow cosmos]

Spill might also sound a bit more like it happening as a result of psychic powers blowing its head open.

[fair thicket]

XD we love traumatizing our psyducks

[weak osprey]

Okay I picked a random number from the high-priority list and got 3634
Remoraid/Corsola 223.222

Evolving, ofc, into Octisola

I'm gonna look at their entries and come back

Ooo, here's an idea.
Maybe this line was made (or is trained) to remain hidden underwater and shoot submarines from below?

[fair thicket]

naval mine

[narrow cosmos]

Its frozen fists chill the air around it, forming ice whenever it throws a punch. It is said that even the hottest of fire Pokémon will be frozen solid from getting hit by even a single jab.

[weak osprey]

Wait but you can catch them in the wild in-game 🤔

Maybe "In years long past, the Johtoan(?) military intentionally created this fusion to undermine enemy submarines."

[fair thicket]

where's that one clip from Bill Nye about heat capacity 🤔

[weak osprey]

Yeah like maybe they made Octisola, but some bred and made Remosola, and the government put a bounty out to collect them, but that just lead to people intentionally breeding them.

[narrow cosmos]

Don't use science against me, most of my entries will die!

[weak osprey]

Gets my seel of approval

I take it back. This is my seel of approval

[fair thicket]

ooh, it's this one!
about the match running out of molecules before the ice swan does XD the entry reminded me of that
https://youtu.be/f1eAOygDP5s?si=g059kq6-lI2WH7S6&t=57

[narrow cosmos]

Training would probably work better if you followed this idea, after finding/breeding some of them. As I recall, there's a bit on the FAQ that's a bit iffy on artificially making fusions/Pokemon prior to the DNA splicers fad, and that fusion in the wild happens, it's just rare, or something to that effect.

[weak osprey]

Oh right, I forget that artifical fusion is recent

[fair thicket]

ice body big, therefore more power than puny fire types 😌

I read that in the voice of Heavy from TF2

[narrow cosmos]

Also leads to the tried and true joke about Pokemon games and fighting newbie trainers.

Youngster: "I'm sure to win because my Charmander has a type advantage!"

One Ice Punch later

"Don't worry kid, he'll thaw out in a month or so."

[weak osprey]

But I was thinking, like, what niche would a Remosola have in the wild? It's not the same color as corsola, so it couldn't blend in yk?

And idt Remosola are smart enough to be trained

Well obv they can be in-game

but I mean being told to guard smth and having them actually stay there😅

[fair thicket]

do remoraid canonically eat corsola or is that just mareanie and bruxish?

[weak osprey]

It doesn't say anything abt that in their entries

Omg where is the Zangoose/Siviper fusion now that you mention it haha

Er, you suggesting a predator and its prey fusing reminded me of Zangoose and Siviper

[fair thicket]

On the rare occasions POKENAME have historically been found, the Johto navy has attempted to use them as snipers against invading vessels. Unfortunately, POKENAME do not naturally possess the same patience of their sessile corsola parts and tended to wander off.

but like, more concise or smth

[weak osprey]

Oh :o

That's perfect haha

I want to have it that Octillery are smart enough to do their job

[fair thicket]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/222.454b/

[weak osprey]

Okay lemme cook with this idea

[narrow cosmos]

A Dusknoir has taken pity on the soul of a dead Cubone yet to avenge its mother. The skeleton walks again, granted a fraction of Dusknoir's power with which to finish its business.

A bit dark, perhaps, but, well, so is the sprite.

[weak osprey]

Remoraid/Corsola (223.222)
This fusion cannot outcompete preexisting Remoraid and Corsola in the wild, failing to maintain stable population. Once, they were captured and bred by the Johtonian navy for use against invading vessels, but they could never remember their orders.

How's this?

[narrow cosmos]

Huh, you know, there's only a 1 point difference in BST between the two versions of this fusion. guess it really is just a fraction of Dusknoir's power.

Seems solidly written! No notes about it, honestly. More a case of submitting and seeing if the approvers have any issues with it in terms of theming/narrative.

[weak osprey]

I mean, there was canonically a great war in the past 🤔
I'll write up Octisola's and submit and see what the Unowns think

[narrow cosmos]

A titan of legend, said to guard the time-stream from those who would disrupt it. A single blast from the water launched from its cannon is said to shoot the target through the flow of time, forcibly traveled to the end of eternity.

Bit melodramatic, but you kinda always feel like you gotta go ham with the big boys, don't ya?

[weak osprey]

What's this a mix of?

Dialga and... Blastoise?

[weak osprey]

"is said to blast the target through the flow of time until they crash against the end of eternity"

Maybe "through the timestream?"

[narrow cosmos]

I used flow of time both to avoid time-stream again, and as a water pun because "flow" but maybe the pun didn't "flow" that well either.

[weak osprey]

Omg I totally missed that you already used time-stream

I think it works then

But I like the image of them getting launched so hard that they would've gone further if they didn't run into eternity first.

[narrow cosmos]

It's all kinda metaphysical anyway, but yeah, they get hit so hard they only stop because they hit the big crunch. Unless they travel into the big bang of the next universe's reincarnation.

[weak osprey]

Octillery / Corsola (223.222)
When Remosola proved ineffective, the Johtonian navy raised them into POKENAME for use against invading submarines. Their keen minds and ability to blend into coral reefs made them a valuable asset.
idk if we're allowed to mention other fusions by name

[narrow cosmos]

Or get blasted into parallel time.

[weak osprey]

Lmao "you're that timeline's problem now"

[narrow cosmos]

"Ah man, I got blasted into the original Hoenn, no Megas for me! "

[ancient orbit]

are these typically written as if these are new PKMN or "after being fused, blah blah blah"

or is it a more case by case basis (like legendary PKMN or something)

[weak osprey]

You can look on the google sheet to find examples, but usually they're written as their own thing w/o reference to their constituent Pokémon

I usually assume that a Venusaur/Charizard would be able to breed with another Venusaur/Charizard and that it'd produce a viable Bulbasaur/Charmander egg.

[narrow cosmos]

It's generally one way but yeah, it can go both ways. Just better to treat them like their own species if you can.

Or references to its constituents might just be contrasts or how it reacts to said constituents. Like I made an entry for Slowpoke/Cubone where it was angy but forgot why it was mad, but finds peace near Slowpoke and Cubone families.

[weak osprey]

Anything to critique here or is it and Remosola good to submit?

[narrow cosmos]

Seems alright to me!

[jagged ledge]

Each entry should be written on an independent level as if observing the behavior of the Pokemon like a real Pokedex. The origin of how the fusion occurred should be left vague in favor of how the fusion operates.

[jagged ledge]

I think they look good. Who would have thought Corsola would be military weapons?

[weak osprey]

Ik this isn't relevant but I'm also hyped for Invincible S3

[terse pawn]

ONE MONTH

12 DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTDAY

[weak osprey]

Okay another random pull from the high-priority list:
1576
Magneton/Magnezone (82.263)
bruh

[terse pawn]

Where's that high priority list

[weak osprey]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey#gid=1870730174

And go all the way to the right sheet "Pokémon Catchable in the Wild (high-priority)"

[narrow cosmos]

An ancient golem created in a forgotten part of history, POKENAME appears to have gone berserk, targeting anything in side as it rampages across the land. Scientists and historians debate what its original purpose could have been.

[weak osprey]

This is such a dumb fusion square 😭

Not that the spriters did a bad job

[regal cedar]

259.174

POKENAME loves to mimic Chansey and Jigglypuff by playing pretend: it will give perfectly healthy Pokémon smooth, egg-like stones to 'heal' them, and will sing lullabies to help them rest. It does, however, possess a genuinely relaxing aroma.

[weak osprey]

"in sight"

Also "time immemorial" is another way of saying "a forgotten part of history"

[narrow cosmos]

Ah dangit. Sometimes the fingers type the word that sounds similar. Train-of-thought typing will do that.

Ooh, I like that.

[weak osprey]

No yeah my fingers like playing word-association it's so annoying

Earlier today I wrote "that's some scrumptious" instead of "that sounds scrumptious"

[narrow cosmos]

But WAS it some scrumptious?

[regal cedar]

Where do you find these/the charts, anyhoo?

[weak osprey]

||Oliver|| when he ||grows up|| and wants to try on Invincible's suit

[weak osprey]

Funny you ask

I make them myself 😌

[narrow cosmos]

This looks good to me! The last sentence should probably read "It does, however," to keep consistency between it/they nouns. A problem that we all know well around here. 😅

[regal cedar]

Good catch!

Even I mess up sometimes, haha.

[narrow cosmos]

A site or thing that makes these in the quality you do would be fire, it'd be great to have charts of fusion lines. The only place I saw that does something like that makes the final image too small to be worth anything, I think.

[weak osprey]

It's so adorable 🥹
I'd let it give me a stone if I was bleeding out

[weak osprey]

Yeah I need them when I'm tryna write for a whole square.
Otherwise I'd get them all mixed up

Also turns out one of them already has an entry:
Magneton / Magnemite (82.81)
A twist of fate caused one body to become the center of what should have been two trios. Due to the mismatched conjoining, it is nowhere near as strong or coordinated as it should be.

[ebon warren]

Not really, a lot of the technology designs are like this, look at the Klinklang line

[weak osprey]

Oh, I didn't mean it in a derogatory way

I meant it more like silly

Like "ofc you'd just add more magnemites"

[narrow cosmos]

Oh yeah, that's one of mine!

[weak osprey]

Omg the one on the far right can be a prototpe Magnezone

[weak osprey]

Ayyyy

Look at this magneton entry haha

When three Magnemite link together, their brains also become one. They do not become three times more intelligent.

Me when my 3 brain cells come together

[narrow cosmos]

Now we need a Magneton/Slowpoke that says three together actually get dumber.

An animator based the lead of their first cartoon on a POKENAME they spotted outside their home. The character has become one of the most famous mascots in media, and POKENAME popularity has skyrocketed as a result.

Debatable on if it'd get accepted, but you know, referential sprite, referential dex entry.

[weak osprey]

"in media" is too vague imho

[narrow cosmos]

I could say "in animation," perhaps. I was just trying to keep from getting too wordy, my entries have a habit of being overly worded.

🤔

[weak osprey]

Years ago, a world-famous animation first broke out with a cartoon staring a POKENAME. Today, that character is the mascot for the largest animation studio in the world.

Smth like this?

Cuz it's not like Mickey Mouse is based on a real mouse. He is a mouse

[narrow cosmos]

True enough, that certainly works! I guess I was trying to add a little too much flavor to make it not so derivative. 😅

Well, since you wrote that version, you wanna submit it and put one more notch on your belt? You took that one wholesale, I don't wanna steal credit. Which feels like an ironic thing to say in Disney-related talk, depending on who you ask.

[hexed fog]

god golbat entries are so boring lol

I am always struggling to find interesting things to say

[weak osprey]

I only did 1 and I'm already over them

[tawdry tusk]

Ya know, an ekans + geodude fusion's description really should just be about it being an ancestor to onix

[narrow cosmos]

It doesn't help that there's just so many. I managed to submit some but still.

[weak osprey]

I can put both of our names on it

[narrow cosmos]

Although personally I think trying to tackle the Nidoran lines are gonna be rough too due to numbers as well.

[weak osprey]

Well at least Golbat/Nidoran-M is already done

[weak osprey]

i don't know what it's a fusion of

[narrow cosmos]

It's Rattata and Scraggy, haha. 19.493 if ya need that!

[weak osprey]

done

[narrow cosmos]

Ah, and as I go through the randoms, I see the RNG has brought me terror

[weak osprey]

2 Magnemites (81.81)
When two Magnemites get too close together, they may fuse into a single Pokémon. Without a third to balance them out, this pairing struggles to agree on anything.

4 Magnemites (81.82)
When Magnemite come together to form a Magneton, their minds become one. With more than three Magnemite being conjoined, Magnemite on opposite sides of the formation cannot communicate, leading to an uncoordinated mess.

5 Magnemites (82.81)
A twist of fate caused one body to become the center of what should have been two trios. Due to the mismatched conjoining, it is nowhere near as strong or coordinated as it should be.
-SK

6 Magnemites (82.82)
While a conjoining of three Magnemite can hamper electronics within a mile radius, six conjoined Magnemite cannot focus their efforts enough to do any appreciable damage.

[narrow cosmos]

Now, fuse the fusions so we get 12 Magnemites.

[weak osprey]

Quadruple fusions when???

But do these entries make sense? They basically say the same thing, but idk what else you can do haha

[narrow cosmos]

Hmm, well, self-fusions could be spun in ways to make them sound stronger, as some entries do. It's usually only fusing a Pokemon with its pre-evolution that tends to get described in "evolved form but faulty some way" or "base form but enhanced but not fully." 🤔

So if you wanted you could spin double Magnemite as something like "though not as powerful as Magneton, the two heads sync surprisingly well" and empower the double Magneton to being even more disruptive to electronics, or maybe say they've taken over power plants before due to joining together in order to siphon electricity or something.

Just my two cents on alternatives, what you have so far is perfectly fine!

[weak osprey]

I think it's funnier to imagine that they're worse the more heads there aree

[ebon warren]

Oh ok the use of dumb there doesn’t really make sense, but yes, I agree. The Klinklang line is like that too but with gears

[hexed fog]

I got a ton of the golbat heads done but jfc...

[narrow cosmos]

I've seen your progress expanding the list, your brain must be starting to fry trying to endure the bats.

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/hero-carefully-he-is-a-hero-fallen-care-gif-27593423

[hexed fog]

I can finish it tomorrow but my brain is falling apart

[ebon warren]

You have a bunch of details to focus on for the heads: super sharp fangs, drinks blood (or maybe other fluids like berry juice or something?! ), is nocturnal and prefers new moons, and is stealthy.

[weak osprey]

You should write some and spare poor Izik's brain 😅

/gen

[ebon warren]

I could but not right now. I’m at the beach.
Also, I need to get approving entries more, I’m good at that haha

New year, new game update, back to it

[weak osprey]

Omg have fun at the beach!

I wish I was at the beach rn and not in the middle of winter

[narrow cosmos]

I'll see if maybe any of the remaining ones inspire me and see if I can spare Izik a little more suffering. 😅

I can understand the sentiment but I'm more attuned to the cold than the beach, I'd fry like an egg shortly.

[ebon warren]

We don’t have winter here

[ebon warren]

I like the cold too but it’s never hot here either, so it’s perfect

[jagged ledge]

I could help out with some Golbat Head Fusions

I'll start at the bottom of the section to avoid overlap, just give me 5 to 10 minutes

[narrow cosmos]

I managed to submit an entry to about three so far

[jagged ledge]

Oh dang nice

[jagged ledge]

I just got a few done myself

[broken leaf]

Hello
How could I see PokeDex of this game and all of possible fusion?

[jagged ledge]

There's a Pokedex in the Game Menu

[regal cedar]

The Pokedex has millions of possible combinations. Each pair of Pokémon has two seperate fusions, with one being the "head" and one being the "body".

https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokédex

See here for a list of Pokémon.

[fair thicket]

hit the random on fusiondex (hey! i didn't call it daena this time!) and got this guy:

POKENAME is the perfect guardian for precious keys - provided you don't intend to use them again. An obscure Unovan fairy tale has the hero trapping a POKENAME by tricking it into protecting the key to its own shackles.

thoughts:

• dunno if it should be Unovan or Kalosian or eschew a region entirely
• i said "obscure" because wild fusions are supposed to be rare before fusion tech, but maybe that's not necessary
• second sentence could use some TLC. Kinda like how in "Puss in Boots" Puss tricks the ogre into transforming into a mouse, the hero of this fairy tale uses the Klefno's refusal to give up its keys to trick it into guarding its own prison. Though maybe that's more appropriate for a later evo? Idk
  https://www.fusiondex.org/371.375/

[boreal prairie]

The perfect guardian for precious keys - if you don't intend to use them. An obscure Kalosian fairy tale tells of a hero who tricks a POKENAME into protecting the key to its own shackles.

concision suggestions (put kalosian in there for you to see how you feel)

[fair thicket]

"Worm, go to sleep" No. One more

POKENAME is thought to resemble a theoretical branch of Kabutops that evolved kleptoplastic photosynthesis in lieu of predation. There is no evidence that such a species existed outside of this fusion, however.

Fossils weird. 🤔 They wouldn't naturally fuse, right? Since one's fully extinct?
Anyway, was thinking on the photosynthetic sea slugs. The second sentence looks like mush to me, so I guess that's a sign for Worm to sleep.
🤔 This fusion has a sprite that's merely a different color alt. Not sure how to handle that, dexwise.
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/271.141/

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME inhabits destroyed urban environments where it uses their electric power to create stunning light shows to scare intruders from their territory. It considers any Magmar fusion to be its sworn rival.

A little update from earlier, adapting an idea from @fair thicket

I didn't see one for the Magmortar side, do you remember one, Worm?

oh you are sleeping, nevermind, go to bed!

[fair thicket]

don't think it was written, actually
i spent most time trying to remember what an electrical Jacob's Ladder was called

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME claim territory in regions of environemntal collapse, like the ashes of forest fires or dry lake beds. It pushes out interlopers with caustic sprays of magma and steam, and considers any Electabuzz fusion to be its sworn rival.

@tiny turtle here is one that matches for the Magmortar side

[hard willow]

is there a way to see what pokemon dont havde dex enteries?

[boreal prairie]

you can see the list of approved ones in the pinned post of the submission link to the spreadsheet. it doesnt have a list of the missing ones specifically. but there is a list of high priority needed ones (the ones for pokemon fusions that can appear in the wild)

[hollow nimbus]

You need a space in andconsiders

Also, you need to either add a subject to andconsiders any Electabuzz fusion to be its sworn rival. or remove the comma

Hm
You also misspelled like as lile

[boreal canyon]

With quick movements, POKENAME chases down its foes, attacking relentlessly. Its main weapon is a powerful burst of a burning gas, which serves as a severe cardiovascular toxic agent when inhaled.

Good to submit ?

[weak osprey]

"its main"
Also I've never heard of a poison refered to a "cardiovascular" but I also dk what else you'd call a poison which targets the heart 🤔

Also there's smth abt the first sentence that isn't doing it for me. Maybe
Deceptively agile for its size, POKENAME is a relentless opponent. Its main weapon is a plume of noxious gas, which enters the bloodstream through the lungs and inhibits the heart.

[tiny turtle]

that's perfect

thank you, Ozydamians

you can post it if you want

[boreal canyon]

yeah but i don't want to change the first half

[weak osprey]

Magnemite / Magnezone (81.263)
When science failed to recreate Magnezone from scratch, they attempted to use fusion technology to create a Pokémon even stronger. Not all attempts were successful.

Magneton / Magnezone (82.263)
In science's attempts to use fusion technology to improve on Magnezone's design, this Pokémon was discovered. While it had not yet achieved the researcher's goals, they were hopeful that they were on the brink of a breakthrough.

Magnezone / Magnezone (263.263)
After years of failure trying to improve Magnezone, a scientist had the idea to simply fuse two Magnezone together. The resulting Pokémon has the strange ability to mobilize a swarm of Magnemite and Magneton to its own ends, which remain unknown.

I'm not sure if these entries break FAQ-16 or not

Q: Is it acceptable to describe fusions as artificial beings with an in-universe human designer, or are fusions' forms always naturally-occuring? (This is not a yes or no question)

A: As per the lore, fusions can happen by themselves in the wild but for some pokemon that never cohabit in the wild you could say something like "this person was the first one to discover that fusion"

[fair thicket]

I think you have the numbers inverted?

[weak osprey]

Oop I have the names inverted

Fixed

[weak osprey]

Magnezone / Magnemite (263.81)
When too many Magnemite coalesce, they can collapse into a dense orb. While similar to a Magnemite in apperance, this Pokémon is far more intelligent.

Magenzone / Magneton (263.82)
In the rare case of several Magnemites conjoining and evolving at once, this Pokémon can form. Its true eyes orbit around it, scanning the environment for information.

[jagged ledge]

You missed the word "is" on the first one. Between Pokemon and far more intelligent.

[weak osprey]

This is why I always post here first 😅

[jagged ledge]

Smart lol

I do think you need to tweak the first sentence of both of them slightly. Something like "It is believed" or "Reports state". Just because we're not supposed to have too many direct statements on how fusions form in the wild.

But I do like the ideas and imagery, especially with the "true eyes" on the second one.

[weak osprey]

Smort

Well

No I this is meant to be how it evolves from prevos

[weak osprey]

Cuz their prevos are just excessive numbers of magnemites

[narrow cosmos]

In the entries, Magnemite keeps getting spelled as Magnetite. Autocorrect defies you.

[weak osprey]

The sad this is that I'm on my laptop; I don't have autocorrect

Like I said, my fingers play word-association

[narrow cosmos]

Been there all too often.

Gotta give you kudos for trying to bust out an entire line of fusions here though. Minus that one of mine interrupting your flow.

[weak osprey]

No your entry is what gave me a direction to go in

There should be a term for the 4-9 fusions that make up a "line"
Cuz it's not a line. I've been saying square but maybe it's a "matrix" or smth?

[jagged ledge]

Hmmm... I do love connected entries but I sadly gotta tell you what I've been told and say that entries should be as stand alone as possible. I do think the evolution aspect is a potential way to spin it, but it might still need to be vague to some degree. At this point maybe ask an Unown.

[weak osprey]

I don't think you need the other entries to understand these ones

You just need the sprites to understand how it doesn't violate the FAQ

[jagged ledge]

Yeah lol

Hmm let me think

[weak osprey]

I will add the "it is believed" to play it safe if we don't come up with a better idea

[jagged ledge]

If an excess of Magnemite gather while trying to form Magneton, they may accidentally collapse into one POKENAME. With all of their brains combined into one body, POKENAME are far more efficient and focused than their previous evolution. ?

[weak osprey]

That's defo an improvement 😎

[jagged ledge]

I think adding more details about stating it's a Pokemon evolution/behavioral glitch should help because I know that Pokemon evolution is allowed to be described in entries.

[weak osprey]

Oh yeah, I avoided using POKENAME in these entries because they're have the same names as the pure Pokémon and it's kinda confusing

[jagged ledge]

Ah gotcha that does make sense lol

But at the same time, the body is literally one Magnemite they are condensed to

[weak osprey]

[jagged ledge]

But yeah you could just replace POKENAME with body if you want lol

[weak osprey]

fs fs haha

(fs = for sure. Sometimes people think it's "fuck's sake" lmao)

[jagged ledge]

Gotcha

[weak osprey]

Okay so I'll snatch your rewrite, make that edit and then submit them under both of our names. Sound good?

Well, the one you rewrote will have your name on it, I mean

[jagged ledge]

Honestly I don't know how shared credit of entries works. That might be something to ask an Unown

[weak osprey]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

There was one that 3 of us collabed on and it got accepted

[jagged ledge]

But I don't mind letting you submit under your name. It was your concept, I just gave advice.

[jagged ledge]

Oh cool good to know

[weak osprey]

Yeee

Thx for the help as always.
This square was a hard one to write for 😮‍💨

[jagged ledge]

Crap I submitted a few revised entries from Falsedoll and didn't know you could credit more than one username at a time.

Well if I write more of theirs, I know for the future and maybe I can ask an Unown how that would work to credit them as well after the fact.

[jagged ledge]

Of course, no problem.

[narrow cosmos]

Using electricity manipulated via its antennae, it can control magnets in battle. A pair of drone-like entities follow it at all times, aiding in battle as well as scouting for good feeding spots.

[jagged ledge]

Also for the second one

If a collection of Magneton all join together, they may accidentally trigger a collective evolution into one shared body. The true brain of the amalgamation is contained within the satellites that orbit the central body, keeping watch over the chaos within.

[weak osprey]

Ohhh darn

You shoulda said that before I submitted it

[jagged ledge]

Sorry!
