hello #dex-entries-discussion I have a question for you all , do you reliably know when a sprite gets deleted ?

[past spade]

🤔

@fossil canyon 😂

[scenic badge]

the gengar base has already been reported multiple times

[hexed fog]

Um that's totally a seel can't you read?

It's just shiny... and purple... clearly.

[fossil canyon]

Both have been fixed I think at this point, my bad.

Azurill is my favorite dragon type tho

353.408
Becoming most active after the sun sets, the light bodies of POKENAME float on the evening breeze. They undertake great migratory flights on these winds.

381.375
Though doing their best to grant the wishes of those around them, the clumsy nature of POKENAME means it often ends up biting the wishers instead.

381.376
The two heads of POKENAME often disagree on how to best grant a wish. Thus, it is rare for the wisher to actually get their wish granted.

407.428
Having two brains, POKENAME controls the ice clouds it forms with great efficiency. Its destructive power is similarly increased.

[hexed fog]

wonderful!

[gentle frost]

450.312
Possessing a vicious disposition, POKENAME feeds off the light energy of its victims before trapping them in darkness. It then uses this energy to fire off powerful laser beams towards opponents.

[gentle frost]

Criticism on these entries welcome.

[viscid light]

With its seed-like shell, POKENAME travel across entire seas during the day to reach land. POKENAME's docile nature has calming effects on Pokémon like Sharpedo, which protect the sleeping fusion during the night.

Often portrayed within a novel of understanding change and death as a sort of dragon or godly being, POKENAME's legacy surpasses itself as an iconic figure. The fusion itself however is often regarded with disdain towards berry farmers.

POKENAME emerge from forests after harsh fires that would endanger other Pokémon. It searches for compost; the more it consumes, the harsher its headaches become, and the more powerful its psychic capabilities grow.

[hexed fog]

dont forget to submit any entries

[viscid light]

Hey, that's for the artists I make these entries for to be concerned with

I'm just here to help them out

[regal cedar]

You can still submit entries. You'd have to label them as yours.

[hexed fog]

yup anyone can submit entries

[hexed fog]

so please feel free to contribute 🙂

writing it here wont do anything, itll just get buried

just be sure to read the guidelines

#dex-entries-discussion message

[viscid light]

@sacred jay

Nicknamed "The Salamence of The Forest", POKENAME guards its kin with a paralyzing poison. When sleeping, the stinger on its tail opens, allowing it to clamp onto the end of tree branches in order to not disturb other Pineco.

[hexed fog]

ok everything prior to today has been looked over

[narrow cosmos]

Catching up seems like it's become mildly easier, discounting all your entries, eh?

Outside of me just churning out a bunch at once like I've done the last couple of nights.

[gentle frost]

Every time I look at the sheet to see if my entries were approved, my phone crashes

[regal cedar]

Yeah, trying to load the sheet on a phone is no bueno

[hexed fog]

do you guys use the google sheets app

mine takes a bit but ultimately loads

[narrow cosmos]

Think I nailed a couple of Izik's sprites too in this batch, hope you enjoy.

[hexed fog]

Always.

[gentle frost]

Sadly, yes, my phone isn’t even that old but the performance is pretty unpredictable

[hexed fog]

That sucks dude

[viscid light]

@steep trellis

In a cave, if your hair stands on end and your clothes buzz with static, POKENAME may be sleeping in its nest nearby. The stones harvested from its shed skins are made into high-capacity generators.

[steep trellis]

love it

[hexed fog]

remember: if you dont submit the entry it will only exist on this page @viscid light it will never go in the game.

[regal cedar]

https://www.fusiondex.org/353.426/

No one is sure whether POKENAME existed before the invention of the DNA Splicers. An ancient scroll mentioning it is widely believed to be a forgery or a mistake. However, scientists have noted that when POKENAME passes on, it leaves no body behind.

[boreal canyon]

I want to make a dex reference the pile of snowballs behind / next this translucent ice oddish

Any idea?

[sturdy void]

hm

"POKENAME has been observed to collect perfectly spherical balls of snow. It stores them for long periods, and scientists think that they may be used in battle. None have been brave enough to test this, though."

Is smthn like this what you're looking for?

[small nest]

Mountain climbers fear the tinkle of POKENAME's frozen leaves. It fiercely defends its territory by flinging a barrage of snowballs at hapless interlopers.

[jagged ledge]

Tinkle?

Oh the ringing sound

Maybe find a synonym to be safe though lol

[boreal prairie]

I have seen people replace tinkle with twinkle because of that association haha

[boreal prairie]

An ancient scroll mentioning POKENAME from before the invention of DNA Splicers is widely believed to be a forgery or a mistake. However, scientist note that when POKENAME passes on, it leaves no body behind.

concision suggestions

[boreal prairie]

concision suggestions

[boreal prairie]

Nicknamed "The Salamence of The Forest", POKENAME guards its kin with a paralyzing poison. When sleeping, the stinger on its tail opens, so it can clamp on the end of tree branches.

concision and coherence suggestion. it doesn't have a "nest" if it sleeps from hanging branches. I'm also not sure how what you described avoids disturbing Pineco.

[viscid light]

you know how in the anime Ash was almost wrecked by a bunch of Pineco in a tree? (this one) - https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/GS027:_Going_Apricorn!

Yeah - that was my inspiration for the dex entry

[boreal prairie]

I don't specifically remember that one 😅 I sort of assumed the pinecone could be fine with it if it is a Pineco cause it said it protects its kin. Up to you! But the sentence has a lot of parts so that section would need to be edited

Also, stop saying [ its' ] lol

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME emerge from forests after harsh fires that would endanger other Pokémon. It searches for compost; the more it consumes, the harsher its headaches become, and the more powerful its psychic capabilities grow.

concison and coherence suggestions

[boreal prairie]

Sorry, but I fully don't understand the first sentence in this one.

[boreal prairie]

[With its seed-like shell, POKENAME travel across entire seas during the day to reach land.] {POKENAME's docile nature has calming effects on Pokémon like Sharpedo.}

Concision suggestions. I don't understand how the two parts in [this] idea are related to each other. Maybe if [that] were clearer, then {this} would be more impactful.

[viscid light]

I have been watching Pokemon since I was a kid

[viscid light]

https://tenor.com/view/slay-the-princess-opportunist-tlq-the-long-quiet-pristine-cut-gif-17741594663123567104

Its' a Slay The Princess reference, referring to the fusion as The Long Quiet

[boreal prairie]

It possesses a vicious disposition and feeds off the light energy of its victims before trapping them in darkness. With this energy, It fires off powerful laser beams towards opponents.

concision suggestions

[boreal prairie]

While I also didn't get the reference, I did mean that I simply cannot understand the grammar of the sentence enough to even know what you are saying.

[viscid light]

Fair - I was having some sort of difficulty of explaining the plot of Slay The Princess without being direct about it

(FYI - Slay the Princess is a really good visual "choose your own adventure" novel game)

[boreal prairie]

Though it does its best to grant the wishes of those around them, POKENAME's clumsy nature means it often ends up biting the wishers instead.

Coherence suggestion. It is rare for entries to be only one sentence. i think there is a cool potential to add the idea of a wish "biting" you

[gentle frost]

Oh, I meant in a literal sense, like the Pokémon biting you lol

[boreal prairie]

It is most active after the sun sets, when the light bodies of POKENAME float on the evening breeze. It undertakes great migratory flights on these winds.

concision suggestions. Your entries are usually pretty quick, so the concision is more just for consistency. Plenty of room for another idea here!

[gentle frost]

The dex entries for deino make a big point of mentioning how it bites things to learn about them, I was trying to bring that over but I’m not sure if it worked well.

[boreal prairie]

Oh, I got that that, it just made me think there is a fun chance for double meaning of bite hehe

[boreal prairie]

Do you want to try rewriting it without worrying about if its a reference? Then i can work on getting into shape with a better idea of what you're trying to say!

[viscid light]

For once? No.

Cause that's honestly the best I could describe it

[boreal prairie]

Ah. Then I suspect it will get rejected because the sentence really doesn't make sense. Not trying to be mean, you know I like your ideas, just trying to help.

[viscid light]

@boreal prairie then thank fuck I didn't do this, knowing it's a Mr. Mime.

[thorny kayak]

I have a question about eligibility: the pin says “You may only submit entries for fusions that are already in the game and full sprite pack that comes out on the 1st of each month.” what does it mean to be in the full sprite pack? Just in the gallery, or is there a different more confirmed database to reference?

[dull folio]

“It is unknown whether the shield attached to the hair of this Pokémon is extremely lightweight, or if POKENAME is extremely strong. Whatever the case, the bite of it can reduce solid to gravel”

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME are often portrayed in fairy tales as harbingers of change or death, or the disguises of dragons and deities, so much so that these legends surpass the truth of its common nature. In reality, its mostly regarded as a pest with a disdain for berry farmers.

Okay, I tired again. Is this sort of what you were saying?

[boreal prairie]

It means there needs to be a custom spriter mde my a spriter, not just the automated ones

[dull folio]

I believe sprite packs are the new sprites for the month, the full data base shows every sprite

You can create a sprite for any custom fusion in the full database, just check to see if it doesn’t already have an entry

[thorny kayak]

ah i see

[viscid light]

As opposed to many other Mawile fusions, the hair is the actual head of POKENAME. With tremendous strength in their bodies, POKENAME uses their heads to crush fragile rocks to feast upon them.

[thorny kayak]

So if its on the website as custom is the rule?

[viscid light]

The one made by artists as a custom

[thorny kayak]

Makes sense thank you

[dull folio]

Are you going to submit this one? Don’t want to double up lol

[viscid light]

Nah - just a idea if you want to take it

[dull folio]

I’m good it feels like a completely different thing I’d feel I’d have stolen your idea lol

[sturdy void]

that's better

[boreal canyon]

Like it but twinkle seems little strange to me, chime would be better imo

[craggy beacon]

and also, tinkle means piss, so

[boreal prairie]

tinkle means a soft metallic sound, we metaphorically talk about the sound of piss as reminiscent of that sound (so much so that many people forget its original meaning)

tink tonk tink tonk of the hammer

[craggy beacon]

na i'm aware im just joking

and pointing out somethin funny

[boreal prairie]

I also was trying to be funny, because it is funny to me that of all words for sounds for peeing thats the one we went with lol

as english speakers

[steep elk]

my fusion with Armaldo and talonflame dont appear for me

someone could help me?

And i turn on config download automatic

[craggy beacon]

wrong channel bud

this is for writin dex entries

to respect the writers im not gonna offer support here, go to #tech-support

[steep elk]

oh sorry

ok

[dull folio]

“POKENAME is powerful empath who struggles to control their power. When it detects feelings of strong rage or passion ,it’s flaming tail bursts into a raging inferno”

I’ve run out of past team members to write entries about so I’m just randomly flicking through the dex list and finding a fusion lol

[jovial ledge]

what about 143.293?

[willow skiff]

did u just make it?

[jovial ledge]

I like the idea it prefers to sleep than use its computer-level intellect

[dense shard]

Is there a way to import the approved dex entries directly to the daena page? So it's easier to tell which fusions already have an entry instead of looking in the excel, and also so that everyone who enters the page can see our work instead of just happening to find that exact fusion in game

[jagged ledge]

We're working on it with the maker of the site

[dense shard]

aaaa

something like

Excellent

[fading phoenix]

hey all, i wanna submit a dex entrie but im not sure what the file names for the pngs are. is it the number in the bottom left of the sprite?

[brazen flicker]

Yep! Bottom right, make sure to add the a so its assigned to the right sprite!

[brazen flicker]

Looks good! Idk if its a final product but you switch between they and it, should only be one. ...detects strong feelings of rage or passion makes more sense since both rage and passion are now "strong". Fix the it's to its (possesive), the space between passion and its, and add a period at the last sentence

[orchid vault]

POKENAME are very docile creatures. Legends say that they once guarded both the sky and sea and attacked those who threated the environment. POKENAME are extremely rare so catching one is seen as good luck.

[fading phoenix]

Me checking the spread sheet to see if it’s been accepted yet (I summited a entry 5 minutes ago)

[hexed fog]

Lol i promise I'll look over it tomorrow:)

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME is a powerful empath that struggles to control its power. When it detects feelings of strong rage or passion, its flaming tail ignites like a raging inferno.

some small coherence tweak suggestions.

[boreal prairie]

The extremely rare POKENAME is a docile creature, and catching one is considered a sign of good luck. Legends say it once guarded the sky and sea from those who threatened the environment.

concision suggestions. just things to consider to make the entry a little more punchy and better fit on the pokedex screen! take as much or as little as you like before submitting!

not a very busy day here today

i'd be ready for a new prompt docket @hexed fog

[narrow cosmos]

Though POKENAME has an aggressive temperament, it's still light enough to be carried easily by wind. Many have seen airborne POKENAME flailing angrily as the breeze forces it away from the target of its ire.

I like the imagery I made for this one, just imagine seeing this little guy floating by, fuming because a light breeze means he can't punch something with his little arms.

[small nest]

I love that image I'd use either "an airborne POKENAME" or "forces them away" to maintain consistency in the second sentence.

[narrow cosmos]

Ah, the plurality consistency strikes again. I sent it but if an Unown could adjust that to "an airborne POKENAME" when it gets looked at to save a repeat submission over a single word, I'd appreciate it.

[narrow cosmos]

Saw it got adjusted, much appreciated to whichever Unown did so.

[hexed fog]

Loves the smell of crumpets - Swinub
Assists firefighters - wartortle
Lavender gardeners - Ivysaur
Bathes in hazardous waste - grimer
String Shot used in the creation of bath robes - Caterpie
Gets excited during meteor showers - Cleffa
Steals clock parts - Hoothoot
Dances in dark alleys - oricorio
Its ice is used in snow cones - Dewgong
leaves are used in tea - Bellossom

[half drum]

ah yes a flying ball of pure anger and hate condensed into one tiny flying creature!

[dense shard]

Also, another idea/prompt

Legendary pokemon HATE Deoxys

In ORAS Rayquaza literally took an unknown kid to space just to dunk on a Deoxys that happened to be passing by

This can be mentioned both in Deoxys fusions and legendary fusions

[timid sky]

That Deoxys was inside of a meteorite headed for Earth

[sturdy void]

yeah

but Rayquaza and Deoxys have a lasting rivalry

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME perch on cave ceilings until they need to hunt, rocketing downward with their foot to knock prey out in one strike. The "POKENAME Kick" is a popular image in recent media.

[shy portal]

hey, didnt know the best place to make a pokedex... error? report but wanted to bring attention to this pokedex entry
it would be best to change the wording here to avoid the term "hermaphroditic" because thats a slur against intersex people

[regal cedar]

With all due respect, it's a scientific term that's been around for hundreds of years that has been used in research for a very, very long time.

[shy portal]

i understand that it might have been a scientific term but its being gradually phased out since its been used as a slur against intersex people

[regal cedar]

I do see some articles that do refer to it as such, so I'll try to pass it along anyways and see what they think.

[sturdy void]

I have never heard about this before today.

When I think hermaphrodite I think like

snails

[regal cedar]

I still understand the concern, but I am doing checks and, in terms of animal usage, refers to the gametes, while for intersex, refers, usually, to the actual genitals or sexual characteristics (which is where a lot of misunderstanding comes from, which is the source of it being seen as demeaning.)

Again, I'll pass this along, since no one wants to have such a harmful word in the game, but, yes.

[shy portal]

heres some alternative terms i found:
for snails and other animals, the better term is "cosexual"
for fish, the better term is "dichogamous"
and for plants, the better term is "monoecious"
using the term intersex instead is also probably fine

[boreal prairie]

My understanding is the cosexual and dichogamous are exclusively used for plants

the only term used for non-plant, non-human lifeforms is hermaphroditism

intersex is essentially only used in cultural human contexts

I don't disagree that it might be shocking to see the word in game, but don't think a scientifically accurate word should be replaced with inaccurate ones

[shy portal]

yeah, its just that h||ermaphrodite|| has been used against intersex people and the intersex community has been trying to dissuade people from using that term, including medical professionals and scientists

[boreal prairie]

better to just remove it and rework the entry

[shy portal]

up to you
i just looked up what an intersex friend of mine has been offering as subsitute words

[boreal prairie]

My understanding is this is in the context of using it for humans, not for reproductive science

Since intersex humans are not really like snails anyway

[shy portal]

from my perspective as well, i think it would make me kinda happy to see a pokemon i enjoy be described in a similar way as myself (as intersex)

anyway thats just some food for thought lol
ill go now

[boreal prairie]

Don't feel bad about making your request! I agree that it is a valid concern, I just think that your specific alternative suggestions after your main one have their own kinds of issues. I completely support taking the word out!

[dull folio]

“This joyous Pokémon flies through the sky making streaks of blue and red petals as it flies. These petals can be brewed into a calming and naturally healing tea used in Pokecentres region-wide”

This is in response to the tea prompt

[small nest]

We've removed this entry, as it describes regular Nidoran instead of the fusion, and there is another approved entry for the same sprite. If that wasn't the case, we still would have reworded this one to remove the term in question. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

[small nest]

Swap Pokecentre for Pokémon Center, and I would perhaps also swap "making streaks" for "leaving trails" or something similar. You'll also want a comma in between "tea" and "used." Cute entry!

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME aggressively flies at targets, aiming to feast on blood. The amount of blood it consumes to be full is so minuscule, people regard it as harmless aside from the slight pinch of its bite.

Would you let the little guy have a little nibble?

[hexed fog]

just about done with 1/26 entries

[dull folio]

Cheers 😃👍

[dull folio]

Damn nice work

I’ll add more to your workload tonight 😭🤣

[hexed fog]

please do!

Maybe more pokemon parts used in ancient versions of these medicines?

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Medicine

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Salveyo_weed

Especially one about this

[narrow cosmos]

Izik cursing me for my binge-production recently.

[hexed fog]

the more entries in the game the more players will have access to

you guys are doing great

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is an excellent nocturnal hunter, with superb senses of smell and sight. Many has become partners paired with night-shift policemen and security guards to help spot and chase suspects.

58.164.png

Though, while I got ya here, this one that got edited for some grammar during acceptance, I think still needs an adjustment, because "Many has become partners" really feels off to me. Maybe adjust to "Many a POKENAME has become" or change the whole thing to be plural in scope? "are excellent nocturnal hunters" and "Many have become partners" and such.

[hexed fog]

It's possible I braindeaded

I'll check when I'm home

[jagged ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-cat-peek-gif-10008520

[hexed fog]

I want to wake up to 800 entries

[jagged ledge]

I'm finally starting to get a more efficient schedule figured out, I could probably be more active here again in the coming days lol

[hexed fog]

Rework your life for pokemon

[jagged ledge]

I mean just the general nature of my creative works in general, this game being one aspect of it, but kinda

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is deceptively heavy, as its cotton-puff exterior covers heavy metal body parts. This sometimes causes issue when a happy POKENAME launches from the gear to hug its trainer.

[jagged ledge]

Lol love it

[dull folio]

POKENAME is constantly surrounded by an aura of static electricity. As it runs, this static builds up into a raging storm.

[jagged ledge]

I love the concept, but the second sentence could be restructured a little.

Maybe something along the lines of "As it runs, the static builds and develops into a raging storm."?

[dull folio]

That sounds way better lol

[jagged ledge]

Happy to help!

[dull folio]

I’m grateful to everyone here who are actually very good at writing and helping me out, cheers to you guys 👍

[jagged ledge]

Some general advice is to consider when and why you're using the word "However", it can be crucial, but it's a lot of letters that can easily be cut. "However" should be used more as an introduction of an opposition or contrast, not just conversationally.

[dull folio]

I’ll keep that in mind

[dense shard]

Idk but he seemed mad, my opinion is that Rayquaza first smashed the meteorite, saw Deoxys coming out and said "Fuck that bastard, I don't like him. Hooman, let's kill that weird ass alien thing"

[jagged ledge]

Even if you adjusted it to say "However, as it starts running" or "As it starts running however,"(Which I'm not entirely sure of the grammar of off the top of my head), you're still describing the same event, being the static around the fusion, just in a different form.

"It is blue. It gets a deeper blue doing a thing" vs "It is blue. However, doing this, it is red." For example

[dull folio]

I think I get what you mean

POKENAME digs itself into the sand of deserts and soaks up the plentiful sunlight to photosynthesise. If anything gets near them, they will lash out with a venom infused bite.

[jagged ledge]

Be mindful of subject consistency. "If anything gets near it, they will lash out."

[dull folio]

Probably change it to them then that would probably make more sense

Or swap the 2 around that would work I think

[narrow cosmos]

Believe me, "it" vs. "they" and the variants therein is going to trip you up a lot.

[jagged ledge]

Well it should be the same one through the entry. The only exception would be is if you're describing two different subjects. Like "It attacks them" or "They protect it"

[jagged ledge]

Singular vs plural debates

[dull folio]

So use them and they?

[jagged ledge]

If you want to describe a species behavior or common occurrence, use they. If you want to describe the individual behavior that reflects on the species or is more directly focused, use it.

[dull folio]

So they makes the most sense in this context

I’m so tired this hurting my head lmao

[jagged ledge]

I think so, yes, but it depends on the style of writing. Ozy and I get into the occasional discussion because we just have different styles

Speaking of which, congrats to @boreal prairie for winning Week 1 of Dexdoku!

Week 2 starts tonight

[dull folio]

I’m gonna submit this one and go to sleep I have school in the morning lmao

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good lol. Have a great night

[dull folio]

You too 👍

Whenever your night is idk where your based lol

[jagged ledge]

Not the latest but I'd say it's night yeah lol

[dull folio]

Prob earlier than me then lmao

[narrow cosmos]

It shakes the end of its tail to release psychic waves that will immobilize prey so it can crush them in its coils. Some regions sold severed tail-tips as novelty spoons before it was deemed inhumane.

[jagged ledge]

Maybe change "waves that will immobilize prey" to "waves, immobilizing prey"?

[narrow cosmos]

[jagged ledge]

Also I understand what you're going for with the second sentence and recognize needing to be under character count, but you should specify POKENAME tail-tips, maybe just tails if there's not enough room.

[fading phoenix]

How often does it take for dex entries to get implemented into gane after approval?

[narrow cosmos]

A lot were supposed to have been added in the last update but something bugged in that so nothing new's been added for the longest time. Once that gets fixed though, I think the plan was to have them be updated at the same time as Sprite Packs, so maybe monthly if so? Not sure.

[small nest]

Frog checks the approved list every now and then and adds a batch to the game when there are enough. I believe it's about every month or two. There is a bug currently, though, so once that's finished we'll get a big dump.

[narrow cosmos]

That bug is killing me, we were so close.

[south berry]

[I could use some help with this one friends]

The spikes it shoots from its head are similar to cave stalactites. Reports indicate that the force of its shell snapping shut feels no different from a cave-in.

[small nest]

What about something like Trying to stop it from closing its shell is as difficult as holding up a collapsing cave ceiling?

[south berry]

ooh

thanks! I like that vibe

[jagged ledge]

I second this, very good thematic imagery!

[mint scaffold]

Since ancient times, POKENAME has been revered as the embodiment of freedom and liberation. However, it is also infamous for being unable to swim.

[small nest]

Great reference dex entry

[jagged ledge]

I agree, but just for the record, this will be the 3rd entry for this sprite lol. Nothing wrong with that, totally still valid, I just find it a little funny

[mint scaffold]

shieeeet i basically just joined and thought i'd give it a try. I didnt notice it in the spreadsheet so i had hope

[jagged ledge]

Lol it's ok, nothing wrong with a duplicate entry

[narrow cosmos]

Time to find out what the max limit of entries one specific sprite can get. BRB, I'm gonna make 10 different dexes for a single sprite.

[jagged ledge]

[queen solar]

This being is said to have been welded with the remains of two ancient pokemon, turning it into an uncouth steel and rock monster ready for destruction.

[regal cedar]

Doesn't seem in tone.

[jagged ledge]

Two things.

1: Welded by whom and for what purpose?

2: That's describing the manmade process of the fusion more than the nature of the Pokemon itself

[queen solar]

Ah

[hexed fog]

this'd get hit with faq 16

[hexed fog]

I just fixed it, wtf izik

[narrow cosmos]

Much appreciated. These things happen, plurality's a pain.

[hexed fog]

it also could be a symptom of me moving too fast

[queen solar]

POKENAME is a very agressive yet dormant pokemon as it can be seen camouflaging in metal mines, sleeping under the clusters of valuable minerals and attacking if woken up.

[hexed fog]

runon

POKENAME is an aggressive yet dormant Pokémon, often found camouflaging in metal mines. It sleeps beneath clusters of valuable minerals and attacks viciously if disturbed.

I'd try this @queen solar

[queen solar]

Alrighty

Sounds quite nice and more formal than my attempt

[hexed fog]

once you get into the swing of things youll churn these out like crazy

it's starting the flow that takes the longest imo

[queen solar]

Thanks for the advice mate

[hexed fog]

kk we are caught up

[jagged ledge]

For now

Also the izik mountain

[ebon warren]

So if you want to make entries for sprites that don’t already have them, always search the full file name on the spreadsheet tab that includes all submissions. (On Daena, you want to ensure that the letter before the .png is included too, as a single fusion can have multiple different sprites.)
The only time you cannot make duplicate entries is if they both are by the same author for the exact same sprite. There can only be a single entry from each author for each sprite.
Otherwise, you can make entries for existing sprites, it just doesn’t help all the lonely sprites that have the crappy auto entries

[hexed fog]

(also if the artist made an entry your entry will be denied if we see it, otherwise they game will say "I dont know her" and prefer the artist's)

https://tenor.com/view/mariahcarey-dontknowher-idontknowher-gif-14560621

SK are you*** breathing***?? thats not writing dex entries

[narrow cosmos]

Ah, explains that one time I wanted to make two different interpretations of a fusion's sprite for dex entries and only one got in. And why I got rejected on another one or two that had Artist versions. Makes sense.

[hexed fog]

hurry. up.

do moar for me I'm hungie

[narrow cosmos]

This stuff takes time, I slave all day to make 40 entries and you eat them all in five minutes!

I even cook up entries for your sprites and this is the thanks I get?!

[hexed fog]

I loved them ngl

I really appreciate it

[ebon warren]

Ignore him, I may have to cut him off soon if he overwhelms himself too much

@hexed fog

[hexed fog]

I just need a few more entries bro... you know I'm good for it...

[narrow cosmos]

Young POKENAME does not have blades at birth, so the defenseless child clings to its parent's back at all times. POKENAME uses the soft hum of its wing-beat to lull the child to sleep at night.

You get one, that's it.

[jagged ledge]

I mean depending on how the night goes you might get nine more

[hexed fog]

Ohohoho

I wish we had a Writer Role...

DEXDOKU WEEK 2 IS NOW OPEN!

This week onward, we will be looking at entries before grids, so focus on the sprites you want to write for and the entries for them and I'll help with the grid later if I have to!

[ebon warren]

Moral of the story: GLISCOR IS THE ONLY GROUND TYPE THAT MATTERS

[jagged ledge]

It's my favorite Pokemon

[narrow cosmos]

Dexdoku makes my brain hurt, so if I attempt anything for it, we're probably looking at two squares at best happening.

[jagged ledge]

Basically it's just

Flying Bulbasaur Family, Flying Unown, Flying Ground Type,

Bulbasaur Family that evolves with a Dusk Stone, Unown that evolves with a Dusk Stone, Ground Type that Evolves with a Dusk Stone,

Poison Bulbasaur Family, Poison Unown, Poison Ground Type

Don't worry about keeping to an exact organization format, don't worry about duplicate entries (cuz the Unown pool is actually kinda limited), just give it a chance

[ebon warren]

If it helps, take the blank one and cover two columns and two rows up, then do whatever is visible. Then repeat 8 more times

[narrow cosmos]

I might look into it, but I might need Wildheart to put dex entries to the grid, I'm no good at templates and image editing and the like, I deal in text, not in graphics.

[ebon warren]

If absolutely necessary we could also make each square a separate image and send all 9 if that’s easier.
And @jagged ledge has already offered to put them into the grid so you’d just have to focus on the sprite matching the prompts and making sure the entry is appropriate and will get Approved

[jagged ledge]

Yes, 100%. I did it for Ozy, I can do it for you. If it helps, you can just use my text list for reference

[boreal prairie]

My entries for dex doku 2!!!

[jagged ledge]

I completely forget how thoroughly I looked through them, so I'll go do so again

[ebon warren]

<@&1210701164426039366> ||testing ping||

[hollow nimbus]

Wassup

[jagged ledge]

WE GOT THE PING!

[hollow nimbus]

Is this just a test ping, or do you need me to actually do something?

[ebon warren]

Just a test

Making sure we all get it

[hollow nimbus]

Oh, oaky

[ebon warren]

||It was just enabled, my bad||

Fixed

[boreal prairie]

Next up, special color

[jagged ledge]

But if you want something to do while you're here, I have a new Dexdoku template

[hollow nimbus]

Lately, my typos have been, instead of accidentally pressing nearby buttons, substituting the letters for entirely different letters that make the same sound

Like eimayzing instead of amazing

Gives me an interesting insight into how my brain works, I guess

[jagged ledge]

Makes sense

[small nest]

https://tenor.com/view/so-it-begins-raining-rainy-day-théoden-lord-of-the-rings-gif-16521230

[hollow nimbus]

Since you lack an article at the start of that first sentence, young POKENAME is plural. You should either add an article to the start or adjust the following verbs to match a plural subject.
wingbeat is one word, and should not be hyphenated

(I also suggest substituting child for cub or something else that sounds less human, but that's just a stylistic suggestion and not an error)

[narrow cosmos]

You can blame the latter on seeing the red squiggly line beneath wingbeat for that one, apparently whatever's checking my words doesn't think that's right.

[ebon warren]

Never take any spell check software seriously, always look up the etymology of a word on a reputable source

[small nest]

We have a new tab in the spreadsheet, UnownList, that lists the Unowns! Anyone listed as "Active" can be pinged if you'd like specific feedback!

@narrow cosmos @boreal prairie @sonic tusk @dense shard @south berry you guys are around a lot, so spread the word if anyone else needs an Unown

[dull folio]

POKENAME swims in mesmerising patterns with incredible grace - hypnotising those who see it. People caught in its trance find themselves staring at it for hours.

[candid plank]

POKENAME This Pokémon hunts in packs of five, coordinating they movements with precision. They finishes off their preys by throwing razor-sharp floral shurikens

[candid plank]

Now that i make my dex-entrie how it's gonna be ?

[jagged ledge]

Make sure you properly keep track of plurals in your subjects. You're describing a group of 5, so change all the its to theys and it should be good if you remember the period at the end!

[candid plank]

Im french lol

ok thx ❤️

[jagged ledge]

No worries, just here to help with English formatting. 👍

[candid plank]

These Pokémon hunt in packs of five, coordinating their movements with precision. They finish off their prey by throwing razor-sharp floral shurikens.

Better ?

[jagged ledge]

Oh wait, you don't need POKENAME at the beginning. You can either say "POKENAME hunt in packs of five" or "These Pokémon hunt in packs of five."

[candid plank]

Oh.......🥲

[jagged ledge]

It's ok, you're still learning

[jagged ledge]

Looks great now!

[candid plank]

Thx

So will it be implemented in the game?

[regal cedar]

Make sure to submit it through the form!

[narrow cosmos]

Many have claimed the secret to taming a POKENAME is to climb on its back and pull its whiskers like reins. Pokémon Centers and hospitals regularly put out PSAs to discourage this idea.

"Nah dude, hold my Berry Juice, watch me tame this thing!"

[boreal prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/chain-dune-zendaya-dune-sandworm-dune-sandworm-ride-worm-dune-gif-9043350771924804883

[narrow cosmos]

I kinda wanted to try my hand at a comedic tone for "this will only end in disaster" like this entry.

[jagged ledge]

Ok, I did send a collection of notes before, so considering those and how most of them look pretty good already, I'd say you'd probably be good to submit them for the most part with a few edits

[tiny charm]

Also workshopping an entry but didn't know if it was good or not grr

__Magvenant __
219.439.png

It is said that POKENAME will create its own natural habitat by starting a forest fire wherever it wishes to reside, it is only when every other tree around it is burnt down will it feel at home.

[narrow cosmos]

Seems pretty good to me! The only thing I can think to edit is changing it from a run-on to two separate sentence, so it'd just turn into "wherever it wishes to reside. It is only when"

[tiny charm]

oh my god yeah I was debating with myself where to take that but actually im leaning more into two seperate sentences

[narrow cosmos]

It flows a bit better as two separate sentences, yeah, I think, so your thoughts were on point.

[hexed fog]

2.198.png Black seeds grow from POKENAME's blossom at night. These seeds can be refined into oil, which serves as a key component in the fuel for vehicles like the ZERO-ONE.
227.1.png The metal alloy in POKENAME's wings is strengthened as it consumes tree roots. Its metal feathers were harvested and used in constructing the prototype of the ZERO-ONE.
167.2.png The sacs on POKENAME's leaves are filled with a potent poison that can be refined into a chemical for film development. This liquid ensures precise contrast in photographs.
201.256.png The smoke POKENAME exhales while resting is filtered and used in creating Pester Balls. The faint psychic energy in the smoke causes brief disorientation in anyone it hits.
201.164.png POKENAME's eye can detect even the slightest mechanical malfunctions. Many were used to monitor test flights for the ZERO-ONE during its early stages.
201.192.png Many POKENAME are employed in Pester Ball factories for nighttime monitoring, ensuring no trespassers. Its large eye sees in complete darkness, and it floats silently through the air.
226.31.png Fevers of POKENAME were used during the ZERO-ONE's aquatic testing phases. They are valued for their strength and their mother-like care for anything struggling to swim.
328.27.png The metal on POKENAME's blades constantly grows and sheds. These shavings were melted into ingots and used in the past to develop the flotation tanks for the ZERO-ONE.
71.27.png When sleeping, POKENAME buries most of its body underground, leaving its leaf exposed. The leaf's poison has been refined as a solvent for camera film production.

@jagged ledge just for you

it's even pokemon snap themed

[regal cedar]

hey look it's mine

[jagged ledge]

I appreciate it, but I already did Unown/Noctowl

But I'll still read through them lol

[jagged ledge]

Wait, are most of these based on the Pokemon Snap vehicle? Is that a thing in this game?

[hexed fog]

Pokemon Snap surprisingly is canon

I'll adjust my unown noctowl

201.164a.png OHOHOHO

I still wish they called it literally anything but Pokemon Island

so unimaginative

[boreal canyon]

SO, we can, theorically, reference some events that are on snap, like the charmeleon evolving into charizard after being pushed into volcano ?

[hexed fog]

LMAO

I mean as long as they dont mess with FAQ 16 and FAQ 9

[tiny charm]

oh my god wait something just came to me while i was idling in class

Orirunt
433.425.png

POKENAME require the dancing of Sensu Oricorio's to remain alive. As a result, they protect Oricorio nests from danger using their crushing beak.

Oritrum
433.426.png

After evolving from its previous form, POKENAME becomes a powerful choreographer of Oricorio dance routines. It uses these dance routines to summon the spirits of extinct Pokemon.

grr I DONt know about namedroppping Oricorio's though in the description for some reason

[hexed fog]

namedropping isnt an issue but I'd like to know why it needs it to stay alive lol

also are they called Sensu Oricorio in the pokedex?

lemme look that up

theyre apparently called Sensu Style Oricorio

the heck

in official media

I hate everything...

literally have been calling it Sensu Form for years

[boreal canyon]

so i can say that "after a charmeleon and a marowak jumped in a volcano, a charizard/marowak came out of said volcano" XD ?

[hexed fog]

LOL no

because remember faq 16

[tiny charm]

BRO

[hexed fog]

RIGHT

[tiny charm]

But yeah uhh the reason I made the dex as it is right now is because Sensu Oricorio are known for summoning dead spirits through dancing, so I thought the fusion between a literal necromancer bird and an extinct pokemon would be some form of symbiosis between them.

[hexed fog]

I love the idea

[boreal canyon]

don't marowak live in the same area in snap ?

[hexed fog]

How about just put in that "Some say"

[boreal canyon]

or am i remembering badly ?

[tiny charm]

Valid valid

[hexed fog]

it's like a get out of jail free for things that are iffy

[hexed fog]

theyre not in pokemon snap

[boreal canyon]

it was an exemple, but you got the idea of what i meant

[jagged ledge]

Gasp

[boreal canyon]

wait

i just realised

but we have some way to include "rivals"

[hexed fog]

An explorer reported witnessing a Marowak enter a lava pool while fighting a Charmeleon. This event is believed to have resulted in the first documented POKENAME.

maybe like this?

[boreal canyon]

it was just an exemple because idk why but i though you could encounter marowak there

[hexed fog]

LOL

I swore for years Ekans was in Pokemon Snap but apparently it was just a screenshot I saw of the beta build

[tiny charm]

the only thing I remember about pokemon snap was throwing random shit at the pokemon im gonna be honest

[jagged ledge]

Two things:

201.192. You describe "Many POKENAME" in the first sentence then a singular description of "Its large eye" in the second.

226.31. What do you mean by Fevers?

[tiny charm]

okay last ones for the day,, I just took screenshots of what I did since theres so many to cover for this fusion line-

[hexed fog]

fixed 201.192

226.31 a group of stingray are called a fever

[ebon warren]

My favorite collective nouns are probably crows or dragons
Cats are a weird one

[jagged ledge]

Wait, also it's 201.92, fixed it

Gotcha, good to know.

[hexed fog]

omg

[jagged ledge]

It's ok, I've made that type of mistake plenty of times lol

[warped panther]

Goomy/Gengar's IF Pokédex number is 47538! Its sprite would be named 444.94.png!

[dull folio]

POKENAME acts a living lightning rod to protect vital buildings from the dangers of storms. Be careful about contact with this Pokémon, as its metal plates are very conductive.

[regal cedar]

"in a region" seems vague for a Pokédex. I'd scrap that part.

[small nest]

Remember to make it "acts as a living lightning rod."
Also, "due to" sounds a bit odd when paired with "be careful" - I would swap to "since its metal plates are".

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME is a living lightning rod that protects vital buildings from the dangers of storms. Be careful about contact with this Pokémon; its metal plates are very conductive.

concision suggestions

[dull folio]

The as was a typo lmao and your probably right about the 2nd part

The edits make it look way better lol

Cheers everyone 👍

[boreal prairie]

Gald you like the suggestions! Here is a tip I wrote to think about how help writing get a little punchier! #dex-entries-discussion message

[dull folio]

That is extremely helpful I will try and keep that in mind lol

It’ll be hard to train myself of using them lmao

[gentle frost]

350.184
Despite POKENAME’s adorable appearance, it is actually quite dangerous. It electrocutes its foes in an excess of 500,000 volts.

91.322
The thick shell of POKENAME guards it from all but the deadliest cold. Being very prideful, it will not hesitate to shoot spines at anyone it feels has insulted it.

[gentle frost]

Nvm, just checked and there’s already an entry for this

[gentle frost]

93.93
Having increased its power through stealing the life force of others, POKENAME now is a force to be reckoned with. With every life it steals, its flames grow even stronger.

396.364
Waiting patiently for its evolution, POKENAME does nothing but strengthen its shell. While it is unable to attack, the spikes covering its armor deter any nearby predators.

336.361
When it believes its pride has been wounded, POKENAME becomes enraged. It will go on a destructive rampage until it feels it has been avenged.

457.74
Deprived of water from its harsh environment, POKENAME will ambush those it believes to be carrying any. Using its spiked club, it will hit rocks at these opponents until they relent.

-# dude’s mugging people for water lmao

[narrow cosmos]

Yeet him into the ocean

[gentle frost]

448.377
Composed entirely of Antarctic ice, POKENAME seeks to cover the world in frost. It is only prevented from this goal by the fighting between its three heads.

98.252
Despite their appearance, POKENAME have a very playful disposition. Emerging from their holes as the sun rises, they spend all day playing together in the surf.

[jolly yoke]

#47.80a
In some cases, a POKENAME that is undergoing change due to a tochukaso, will respond with a delayed reaction to seal its own mouth and prevent oral transmission. This occurs thanks to the naturally delayed response of the Pokemon before Conversion.
(If I could make longer Entries, I would have made it more intricate.)
https://cdn.fusiondex.org/Trygw6YQ4-VmEkVCnS0Ln2Th/dn/pif/47.80a.png

[jagged ledge]

You have an extra comma after tochukaso. Also this isn't quite the right style or format as it's more a description of the infection of the parasite/forming of the fusion than the regular behavior or nature of the fusion itself. Also what do you mean by Conversion?

[gentle frost]

98.183
POKENAME use their smooth carapace to glide through the ocean depths. Their claws are strong enough to cut through steel and bone.

98.184
Using its long ears to detect prey, POKENAME slices through the water like a knife. Once caught, its strong claws render its prey unable to move.

Looking for criticism on all of these before I submit.

[arctic nacelle]

The phrasing on this one makes it sound a little bit like its long ears slice through the water. Not sure how to fix it.

[boreal prairie]

POKENAME slices through the water like a knife and detects prey with its long ears. Once caught, its strong claws render its prey unable to move.

some tweak suggestions

POKENAME glides through the ocean depths with its smooth carapace. Its claws are strong enough to cut through steel and bone.

small tweaks.

Despite their appearance, POKENAME has a playful disposition. It emerges from it hole as the sun rises and spends all day playing in the surf.

small tweaks

POKENAME lives in harsh, dry environments and ambush those it believes to be carrying any water. Using its spiked club, it will hit rocks at its opponents until they relent.

some tweaks to avoid ending a dentence on "any", which can hinder coherence.

When its pride has been wounded, POKENAME becomes enraged. It will go on a destructive rampage until it feels it has been avenged.

small concision tweak. you rarely have to say "when x believes its has an emotion" because all emotions are beliefs. (usually, believe is basically a filler word in any context). On a creative note, I feel this entry isn't as imaginative as your others, I don't see what makes it special about the fusion specifically. just a thought.

It waits patiently for its evolution and does nothing but strengthen its shell. While unable to attack, the spikes covering its armor deter any nearby predators.

some concision suggestions

It increased its power through stealing the life force of others and is now a force to be reckoned with. With every life it steals, its flames grow stronger.

concision suggestions. Since this is a haunter/haunter fusion, made instead of fire, it could say "spirit energy" or "aura" or something so it is not so tied to the sprite

Despite POKENAME’s adorable appearance, it is actually quite dangerous. It electrocutes its foes in an excess of 500,000 volts.

only note is you should pick one or the other from [actually quite] (redundant to say both)

okay thats your whole batch in revers

e! (lol it made me laugh that was the word limit)

You have a tendency to start sentences with gerund clauses: "Walking to the store, I saw a dog." which aren't bad necessarily, but tend to be slightly warped grammatically (by everyone, not just you), and also will trick you into thinking your ideas are more linked than they actually are. As a writer, it is kind of a skip trick to let us get extra ideas into a sentence, but the glue isn't always there (I think you can see this for yourself in the sentences I have undone them for you, where it is clear the connection you want to make and still can make sense, but its not quite all the way there)

[gentle frost]

No worries, I appreciate any and all critiscm you have for me. My writing skills have been a little rusty lol. I’ll double check these entries and polish them up to send in tomorrow! For now it’s late here.

[boreal prairie]

They were all good entries! My comments are always just suggestion and advice to help you get even stronger 🙂

[astral bear]

OK, so I think I just send the image and the text for critique, right? I've done some old Fakemon dex entries before, so I hope this ends up being good XD

349.350c

A hollow fusion of truth and ideal made manifest. The power of POKENAME's internal engine is strong enough to disrupt the atmosphere and summon flaming thunderstorms.

[frank cedar]

POKENAME are constantly in an energetic mood. They occasionally like to touch electrical outlets with their tails to charge, and then run at high speeds.

It uses its wheel-shaped feet to chase down anything that it considers a threat. Trainers can track it by looking for hot tire tracks.

[kind shoal]

Doesn't look like this has a custom entry yet (From the doc at least) (47.360)

Reports from biologists suggest that POKENAME came into existence when a Whimsicott came into contact with spores from a Parasect. Due to these spores, POKENAME became more mischievous and started to play tricks on unsuspecting travelers

[small nest]

Might want to be careful with this one - Parasect is both the bug and the mushroom, so just the spores wouldn't result in a fusion. Biologists' reports are also a bit close to explaining how natural fusion happens, which we want to leave vague.

[small nest]

Make sure to keep consistency between "it" and "them" - both are fine but you should stick with one or the other throughout the entry. Also, remember to add a hyphen between "wheel" and "shaped."

[narrow cosmos]

A common, somewhat joking theory about POKENAME's existence is that it's the result of a Ditto copying Slaking so perfectly, it became too lazy to change back to normal.

[narrow cosmos]

Legends say it sleeps somewhere far above the clouds, and that should humanity's follies wake it from its slumber, it will descend with great fury and put all of humanity to rest.

[narrow cosmos]

Alright, little over 30 done today, taking a break for now, I can feel the steam coming out of my ears.

[jagged ledge]

Oh dang nice work

[kind shoal]

That’s why I used suggest instead of out right stating, and yes, I am aware it’s both

[full fulcrum]

Okay chat I’ve never written an entry before this so please hype me up. I’ve got a goofy one

[south berry]

You can do it!

[mint scaffold]

You got this!!!

[candid plank]

#477.251 This Pokémon lives in vast rainforests, using its mystical powers to ensure the survival of its habitat. With its deep connection to nature, it can influence plant growth and restore the forest’s vitality. Its powers are so strong that it is said to calm storms and revive endangered ecosystems.

[candid plank]

Is this how im suppose to do it ?

[lunar temple]

hi

[regal cedar]

Check the pins on how to submit! You'll use the Form.

[viscid light]

@heady quiver

The actual body of POKENAME is actually the Azumarill that is often used as a flail. Perhaps as a punishment of being thrown around and about, POKENAME is unable to maintain a state of laziness through pain induced from attacking any trespassers.

[full fulcrum]

POKENAME are often found sitting on damp rocks next to hot springs and murky ponds. Despite their tendency to live in humid areas, POKENAME are terrified of water.

[viscid light]

@alpine nacelle

It is almost impossible to confirm in a glance whenever POKENAME is actually being lazy, as any would-be trespasser is cut down by the fury of a blurry sprint of purple and white - often the telltale sign of POKENAME in a prone striking position.

@fluid saffron

WHY ARE YOU NOT THE ONE I AM LOOKING FOR

Fire_mutt

Your POKENAME is hungry...feed POKENAME?

[hexed fog]

@fair edge please remember the sprite must be in the game before you can put in an entry

[hexed fog]

lacks dex tone

and grammar

and length

[fair edge]

that's odd... Are you referring to my submission for 263.421a.png?

WHOA

where did I get 263 from

That's my bad, I'll do a resubmission

[hexed fog]

lol should i update

NONO

just tell me

[fair edge]

Uhhh, it was meant to be sableye

so we'd be looking at dex number...

327

327.421a

[hexed fog]

sec

kk

I'll review in a bit

[fair edge]

No worries, take your time! :)

Already saw the deny for my first Pory-Z/Giratina entry, and subsequently did a more suitable entry. I'll be sure to pay closer attention for things to fit better with the world

[hexed fog]

everyone does an ERROR entry for porygon at some point in their careers

[narrow cosmos]

I tried and failed to do a stylistic/spooky entry for double Ultra Necrozma that got denied, so I haven't tried since to do anything like it.

[hexed fog]

all entries are addressed

the izik mountain is decreasing

blessed be

[narrow cosmos]

Back to the old grind I guess. All that effort from yesterday, devoured in minutes by the all-consuming Izik.

[fair edge]

omg, I just realized that it's you! I saw your name appearing earlier when I was looking at stuff,

just wanted to say that your work is great and I can only hope to one day do as many as you

[jagged ledge]

Time to see how my random Dex Grid Pile from yesterday did

[narrow cosmos]

Oh geez, that's really kind of you to say!

[narrow cosmos]

Really happy you've enjoyed some of my entries. I hope others feel the same once we start being able to see them in-game one day.

[fair edge]

For sure!

Whenever I'm playing the game and see a blank entry, just another possibility to fill!

[jagged ledge]

Glad to have you on board! That's the energy we like to see!

[fair edge]

I wonder... is there a clear percent of how many entries have been filled?

[jagged ledge]

Not directly, but if you go to the Dex Grid on the spreadsheet, the math is somewhat doable.

[fair edge]

tyyyy! ;-; After my upcoming class, i hope to get back to my desk and buckle down

[jagged ledge]

Understandable! No worries!

[fair edge]

I just clicked on the Dex Grid sheet, whew... that's a lot of blanks I'm seein'

[jagged ledge]

Yuuup

There's a lot of fusions lol

[fair edge]

(Sylveon has so many holy cow)

[jagged ledge]

Hopefully every Pokémon shall achieve that number some day

[viscid light]

Or me, where the Dex responds directly to you (being a PorygonZ fusion and all that)

[viscid light]

PorygonZ fusion. And a "Tamogatchi" one at that

[fair edge]

Question

When it comes to numbers, do we use five or 5?

my personal guess is five, but I'm open to the other being true too!

[south berry]

Feel free for an Unown to correct me, but I believe numerals are perfectly fine (also saves on character count too!)

[fair edge]

I'll submit my entry then; they can always replace it if need be

and if it'd be preferable to have it be in the written form, just lmk!

[south berry]

sometimes I see a sprite, and I just don't even know where to begin...

[fair edge]

Example?

[south berry]

trying to tackle these guys at the moment haha

[fair edge]

Ah.

Perhaps... during fusion, the Mr.Mime's DNA found itself absorbing the role of the Shellder?

That's honestly all I got LOL

[south berry]

haha basically the route I went too

Sometimes when a Mr. Mime takes acting like a Shellder too far, it leads to unintended consequences. Because of Mr. Mime’s acting abilities, POKENAME possesses the same degree of unparalleled intelligence that Slowking does.

it might not get approved because they don't LOVE when you get super into detail about fusion methods, I'm giving it a shot since Slowking in general's main prominent detail is all about that.

[fair edge]

@south berry did you already submit one for both?

[south berry]

yee

[fair edge]

Ah, damn!

I just remembered that the Shellder controls the Slowbro; was going to suggest a ventriloquist situation

[south berry]

ooh, that's good

I mean, go ahead and take a crack at it! I'm not super in love with my Mr. King entry anyways

[fair edge]

Which one? Mr. Bro or Mr. King?

[south berry]

Both if you feel like it, this was what I came up for Mr. Bro:

Its tail is permanently attached to a dummy. It slowly wags its tail in an effort to puppet the dummy, which it presumably does for either entertainment or distraction.

[fair edge]

[boreal canyon]

Hi

Does one of you want to try and give a dex to one of my sprites ?

[fair edge]

@south berry we have an (unpaid) commission!

Ready and willing :)

[boreal canyon]

my only question is : do you dare take it or not ?

x)

[fair edge]

uh oh

[boreal canyon]

no comeback

so, are you sure ?

[fair edge]

Alrighty lol

I'm in a self-proclaimed writing vibe, I'll take a swing at it

[boreal canyon]

good luck

[south berry]

S-tier

[boreal canyon]

hope you don't regret

[fair edge]

Finished,

I put one in for Hypler as well, but I think I may have gone a touch too far with it

Perhaps they may be a touch too similar, in retrospect...

[boreal canyon]

[fair edge]

Lurking amidst the shores of beaches, Hypby are highly territorial. The Mystic Water they dangle can lull unsuspecting beachgoers and swimmers into a gentle sleep, one that moves from a soft tide into a raging whirlpool of nightmares.

Acceptable in your eyes?

[boreal canyon]

[fair edge]

[mellow imp]

half serious entry, any suggestions lol

[boreal canyon]

you sure ?

[mellow imp]

*POKENAME was among the first experiments in pokemon fusion. Needless to say it was an unmitigated failure. It has now become endemic to both Kanto and Johto. POKENAME makes nature herself shudder. *

[mellow imp]

wdym, im not sure if ill enter it lol i was just having fun ig

[boreal canyon]

it won't pass, FAQ 16 i think

[mellow imp]

wheres the faq

[boreal canyon]

not 16, wait

[south berry]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey=&gid=1295791816#gid=1295791816

Its one of the tabs

[boreal canyon]

might be 16

but yeah

[mellow imp]

oh whoops good to keep in mind

not my best work so idk if i wanted to submit it anyway

that ones a good sprite so i wanna leave it for someone else

well good in the scary way lmao

[boreal canyon]

if you want, i also have thi one :

[fair edge]

That is disgusting

I will see what I can do.

[fair edge]

The strength POKENAME has is one it is not entirely familiar with, its pendulum swinging too fast to properly hypnotize people. In a tantrum, it may resort to using it in hopes of putting them to sleep, or in other words, knocking them out.

Going to be honest, you had me stumped for a good few minutes there

[boreal canyon]

i don't really understand first sentence

[fair edge]

Ah crap. I was going to explain it, but if it lives like that, it might know its own strength

I was meaning that the pendulum swings too fast because of how strong it is

[boreal canyon]

ok

so "Unaware of its strength, POKENAME swing its pendulum way too strong to properly hypnotize people or Pokémon."

[fair edge]

See,

but then by doing that, why would it use the pendulum to knock people out if it didn't know its own strength?

[dull folio]

POKENAME’s antlers are a thriving ecosystem of various spiders. All the spiders weaving simultaneously makes beautiful, intricate pattern.

Took a day break lol and I’m back adding to the mountain lol

[fair edge]

I accidentally created a contrary statement, so I may need to workshop it a bit more (It's hard for it to control its strength?)

[dull folio]

Maybe rather than talking about strength talk about experience?

[fair edge]

A childish temper!

That's brilliant

[boreal canyon]

"Unaware of its strength, POKENAME swing its pendulum way too strong to properly hypnotize people or Pokémon. In a tantrum, it'll throw its pendulum because it knows that thing sleep when hit by it." ?

[dull folio]

“POKENAME is inexperienced when it come to hypnosis” and then continue what you wrote from there but that’s just my opinion

[dull folio]

That’s also brilliant lol

[boreal canyon]

maybe the sleep should be put into quotes

like "it knows that thing "sleep" when hit by it" xD

[fair edge]

GOT IT

I combined all ideas, all within 250

[boreal canyon]

[fair edge]

"Inexperienced in hypnosis, POKENAME's strength cause it to swing a pendulum too strong to properly hypnotize people or Pokémon. In a tantrum, its pendulum may be tossed with incredible force, as it's the only known way to put people to 'sleep'."

[boreal canyon]

[fair edge]

Woo! Great work, everyone! I wasn't feeling too Hypful there, but the team effort was great

[boreal canyon]

maybe eplace the with its so it become "as it's its only known way" instead of "the only"

idk

[mellow imp]

constructive criticism?

POKENAME also known as the courtly pokemon was bred during the times of the kings of kalos. They were a common site among the halls of Parfum Palace, where they were a favourite of the courtly ladies, most of all for their ability to fit into a purse.

[dull folio]

Looks good to me 👍

[boreal canyon]

like it

[mellow imp]

this ones rly good

[fair edge]

Sounds good! Do I resubmit, or do I slap a message into here for an Unown?

[mellow imp]

very good writing rythm, if you get what im talking abt lol

[boreal canyon]

huum

i'll say send message to unown but idk

[fair edge]

thank you! I pride myself on my writing skills (dont look at my english college course grade >.>)

[boreal canyon]

someone wants to give a desc to a hot wheel ?

[fair edge]

as in DM?

[boreal canyon]

idk remember the list of unowns, but it'll be better if you ask one here

[mellow imp]

they should do dex competitions, see who can come up with the best one

[boreal canyon]

we have #1240773622612889681 which is spriting + dex event

[boreal canyon]

i think @hexed fog could help but i'm not sure

-# sorry, you're the only unown i know

[dull folio]

While the gem on the end of its tail is quite heavy, POKENAME’s psychic power is strong enough to roll it like a ball. It’s often seen bouncing happily while riding around on top of its tail gem.

[fair edge]

lol, alright

[boreal canyon]

-# the other unown are unknown to me

[boreal canyon]

nice

anyways, sorry but i'm tired

[upper loom]

@boreal canyon I set your AFK: Sleeping / not available

[dull folio]

All good get some rest 👍

[fair edge]

Since the ping is above, I'll paste in the dex entry for 97.451, written by me (and with the amazing help of others here!):
Inexperienced in hypnosis, POKENAME's strength cause it to swing a pendulum too strong to properly hypnotize people or Pokémon. In a tantrum, its pendulum is tossed with incredible force, as it's its only known way to put people to a form of sleep.

[dull folio]

All the mods are great with this stuff don’t worry it’ll be fixed quicker than you think

[fair edge]

I love Sableye fusions!! My only concern is about the gem tail and bouncing on it

wouldnt that hurt? 😅

[dull folio]

It’s actually a starmie fusion surprised lol

[fair edge]

...

Damn. I'm blind

[dull folio]

No it makes sense all sableye fusions are get related

[dull folio]

It’s fine I’d say look at it’s happy face but it doesn’t really have one 😭

I take the gleam in its gem as happyness its having a great time

[fair edge]

!

You could make that a feature/add that?

[dull folio]

I suppose yeah I do have a lot more of the word cap to work with

[fair edge]

(thats sounds so cute, going blind bc your pokemon is in a great mood lol)

[dull folio]

It’s often seen bouncing happily with its frontal gem twinkling while riding around on its tail

Add that in over the last sentence I wasn’t really happy with it anyway

[fair edge]

Perfect!

[dull folio]

Although the gem on the end of its tail is quite heavy, POKENAME’s psychic power is strong enough to roll it like a ball. It’s often seen bouncing happily with a twinkle in its frontal gem while riding around on its tail.

I’ll submit this and the stantler spinarak one I did above

[mellow imp]

i feel like this breaks a rule lol

but this is my last one for tdy

Though it may seem intuitive, using POKENAME as a home appliance was banned in the last session of PokeParliment. In spite of this drawback it is still excellent at battle.

[timid sky]

PokeParliment is not a thing

[mellow imp]

Elite Four myb?

who legislates in Kanto? lmao

[timid sky]

They where never stated to be political figures

Maybe just say that it was outlawed

[mellow imp]

is even saying parliment too much?

[timid sky]

Probably

[mellow imp]

ig that implys kanto is overseen by a parliment

ill think of smnth

[timid sky]

The only political figure in main series Pokémon that I am aware of is Dreydon, being the mayor of Opelucid city

[mellow imp]

kantos legislative body???? thats kinda longwinded

[fair edge]

using POKENAME as a home appliance is ill-advised, as it may wash out any designs or color from clothing?

It's so powerful?

[timid sky]

Again, just say that it was outlawed

[fair edge]

also fair lol

[mellow imp]

alr k

Though it may seem intuitive, using POKENAME as a home appliance has been outlawed in three regions. In spite of this drawback it is still excellent at battle.

hows that?

lol the rotom fusions could be alot of fun to write

[fair edge]

Straight forward and to the point! It acknowledges its power

[mellow imp]

k i had too much fun with the last one, this ones the last one fr

[timid sky]

You can never have to much fun making dex entries

[mellow imp]

Team Rocket captures POKENAME for cheap overseas and sells them for a marked up price here. The label says: WARNING BEWARE OF BITE

hows that?

i feel like i could come up with a pun for that last part but i cant think of anything rn

Users complain this platform harbours a toxic enviornment

[jagged ledge]

I missed a lot, hold on

[mellow imp]

POKENAME try to trick environmental auditors into thinking they use electricity, the truth is they still run on natural gas. Watch Out! Their gas is oudourless but still just as toxic.

[regal cedar]

Yeah, it's inventing something new with the government, so, no. Just "banned" would normally be fine, except, I'm pretty sure most folks don't...buy Rotom as an appliance?

[mellow imp]

LAST LAST ONE

ok i have hw to do

god coming up with rotom ones are way too fun

[mellow imp]

ya ik its kind of a tongue and cheek one, but he does look ALOT like a washing machine lmao

acc all of them are pretty tongue in cheek 😂

[jagged ledge]

I would revise this slightly to be more concise. Also the 'single quote apostrophes' format likely wouldn't read as a Pokedex entry.

Inexperienced in hypnosis, POKENAME prioritize strength over technique as they swing their pendulums, interfering with their psychic abilities. They continue using this method because they believe foes they knocked out were simply put to sleep.

[jagged ledge]

We don't really have formal competitions, partly because we're just trying to get as many as possible, and partly because we want to try and be flexible and adaptable.

However, we do have Week 2 of the first Dex Writing Event currently running! Dexdoku, where you make Dex Entries for Fusion Sprites that fit on the assigned grid!

#1210021946105004052 message

[jagged ledge]

We don't know. It's not in the lore, so it's probably best not to call attention to it in the dex.

[fair edge]

Much better... if you want to, feel free to stake claim to it

[jagged ledge]

Nah, it's your concept I built from. I would say submit it for yourself and I'll approve it.

I can't approve it if I submit it

[mellow imp]

ok im done my hw

The original Lampent was infamous for using human souls to power its light. Decades ago their was a push to move away from this. POKENAME has become exceedingly popular in its stead, it runs soley on electricity. At that time it was a marvel.

my masterpiece entry 😂

i wont exceed this i think lmao

[jagged ledge]

*there not their

[mellow imp]

oops i alr submitted it

how do i fix it

do it again?

[jagged ledge]

Well I'm an Unown so I can fix it, but also I need to run it by the other Unown first.

The concerns I have is that it's describing more about Lampent and a lamp than the fusion functioning as its own being.

It's a fun lore bit and story, we just might need to edit for the dex format.

[mellow imp]

aww... well i understand if you must, its up to you ultimately

[jagged ledge]

I do like the idea and tone as a writer, it just might need to be edited for the dex. Maybe something along the lines of:

A POKENAME's eerie glow causes people to fear that it might steal their soul. However, it has developed to run fully on electricity, making it a safe alternative for those looking for a reading companion.

?

[mellow imp]

oh thats an excellent idea

thanks

i dare say its better

[jagged ledge]

Thank you, happy to help. Just submit that revised version and I can approve it.

[mellow imp]

your a very good writer btw, and that was fast

[hexed fog]

did you get help on this?

[boreal prairie]

@hexed fog or @jagged ledge can you check if I submitted my entries for the next dexdoku or not I really can't remember (look for Unown/Butterfree)

[jagged ledge]

You did not

[fair edge]

I did not! I wasn't sure which to do >.<

[hexed fog]

message me the number you are looking to replace and the entry and I will do it when I get a chance 🙂

[fair edge]

bump

Let me make a quick tweak, actually...

I'll add a checkmark to the bumped message when done

done

[hexed fog]

updated, I will review it next time I go through the list

[hexed fog]

provide the number of the img and I will but you can see it yourself on the responses tab

[boreal prairie]

201.12
the spreadsheet doesn't open on my phone

[hexed fog]

I dont see it under your name

only 2024 entries

[boreal prairie]

Okay i will submit them then

[jagged ledge]

What am I, chopped liver?

[hexed fog]

looooool

[jagged ledge]

Also I swear I tried telling you this earlier in the week

[boreal prairie]

hahaha it put me at Izik's message i assumed that was the most recent

[boreal prairie]

Yeah I coudln't remember if I did it after you said last time

[jagged ledge]

Apparently not then.

[boreal prairie]

Guess not! I will do so soon!

I'll post the most edited version of them here again for dexdoku

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good.

[fair edge]

Not reviewing Izik's entries... gotta do that to clean the bias

[jagged ledge]

I am currently grabbing dinner but I can help more once I'm done.

[jagged ledge]

You pick up running jokes scarily fast... I'm impressed

[fair edge]

aww, thank you

[rich goblet]

In theory, anyone can submit dex entries right?

I have a couple fun berry themed ones I could try giving a few pokemon

[hexed fog]

Correct but please read the faq

[rich goblet]

Oh! Thanks, I will

[hexed fog]

I appreciate you!

[rich goblet]

Hm. Seems simple enough, but not many berry themed ones in the high priority list

#129.383
Head: Magikarp
Body Bibarel
Character Count: 158

POKENAME are remarkable swimmers with superb control over their various fins and flippers. Due to their elongated form, children enjoy surfing on their backs.

@hexed fog This in theory would be a good pokemon description right? Just want to make sure before I pick a line and do some stuff with it. I've familiarized myself with the FAQ (for parts that I have considered doing)

[hexed fog]

Yup!

[rich goblet]

Alrighty! Thank yous!

[hexed fog]

Lol did you pick my sprite on purpose

[rich goblet]

Nah, just a magikarp fan

Actually small question

[hexed fog]

Bwahaha

[rich goblet]

where do I find the exact filename?

[hexed fog]

Fusiondex

[rich goblet]

Is it just...

This?

Or do I need to do more digging

[hexed fog]

Fusiondex.org

[rich goblet]

That's what I circled, but I don't see the .png thing

[hexed fog]

Nope

You got it

It's not that deep you're fine

[rich goblet]

Oh! So the .png is just tacked on at the end? Or am I missing something

[hexed fog]

Yup

[rich goblet]

👍

[hexed fog]

Some will say 55.75b

Just do 55.75b.png

[rich goblet]

Gotcha!

[hexed fog]

Yea it's not that deep don't worry

And if you get denied on one don't fret... it literally doesn't go against you or anything

[rich goblet]

I'm just hoping I get any in at all pfft

[hexed fog]

Oh trust me

You will

There's so many we need

Check the responses tab if you're unsure if one has an entry

Just ctrl+F

[rich goblet]

I'm looking thru the high priority ones

[jagged ledge]

I can definitely say that the one you just shared is good to go so that's at least one

[rich goblet]

On that one tab

[jagged ledge]

Much appreciated! Could always use some extra help

[rich goblet]

I can get creative with fish and other nature. I've watched way, way, way too many Nature Documentaries to let it go to waste

[hexed fog]

Yessss

@narrow cosmos want some prompts?

[narrow cosmos]

I've been targeted! Run!

[rich goblet]

!

[narrow cosmos]

But sure. :p

[rich goblet]

I've got a nature documentary ah thing I want to run by yall

Aggressive and bulky, POKENAME challenge each other for food by using their hands to pull against the challenger’s whiskers.

https://www.fusiondex.org/130.61/

Probably not going to submit that one in particular but gave me a funny image

[hexed fog]

Ceramics - rapidash
Parking garages - pidgeot
Independent contractors - whirlipede
Apricorn eating - ursaring
Mask creation - yamask
Water Towers- Mudkip
Charcoal - pinsir
Dentistry - hypno
Soccer - hitmonlee
Rain gutters - tangela

[hexed fog]

Sounds fun

[rich goblet]

I made a small change to say challenge each other's territory

[hexed fog]

Upload as many as you want

[rich goblet]

I just wanted to run that one because it was a funny mental image

[hexed fog]

If you don't know where to start there's a pokemon wild list

[rich goblet]

be like

YOINK

[rich goblet]

That's the one I'm working off of rn

[hexed fog]

That are high prio

Oh good

Ty

[mellow imp]

im abt to go to bed

im on a run tdy tho

ill do a few more

lemme think

[rich goblet]

Ooooh! Fancy!

[boreal prairie]

seems like we got a lot of new people today that's awesome! too bad i wasn't around, very busy unfortunately

[rich goblet]

I am just applying my National Geopgrahic knowledge lololol

OH! TYPO

*foams at mouth

Better

[mellow imp]

POKENAME usually hang around laundromats, they excel at the cold cycle. They dont like you to know they are ranked only a C in energy efficiency. Be careful not to let POKENAME out of their ball too long, the cost really racks up quick!

hows this lol

thoughts?

or myb

[rich goblet]

I think they generally aren't supposed to refer to you (2nd person) but let me check

[jagged ledge]

It kiiiinda depends. It's supposed to be like a description/documentation.

[rich goblet]

Think documentary style I imagine

[mellow imp]

POKENAME usually hang around laundromats, they excel at the cold cycle. They get all downcast if its brought up that they are only rated a C in energy efficiency. Be careful not to let POKENAME out of their ball too long, the cost racks up quick!

hows this

better

is 250 characters a hard limit

[jagged ledge]

Yes unfortunately

[jagged ledge]

How's this?

POKENAME enjoy working at laundromats, especially helping with the cold cycles. Even if they aren't the most energy efficient, their jovial nature is enough for customers to enjoy their visit despite the expensive costs.

[mellow imp]

damn acc myb u should be writing all these this is much better 😂

[jagged ledge]

Hey you'll get the hang of it in no time, I really like your energy and concepts!

All I'm doing is giving a few edits and polish.

[small nest]

All you need is practice! Wildheart's done enough of these that the style comes naturally, you'll get there too!

[jagged ledge]

I literally did over 100 entries just for Bulbasaur

I needed to make sure every Bulbasaur head fusion from Kanto had an entry by 2025 and I succeeded

[mellow imp]

aww thanks guys ya ig ill keep at it

ig smtms with 250 words too i find it hard to get all the style in and my ideas at the same time 😅

[rich goblet]

It's between 100 and 250, and definitely more like a fun fact than a whole description

[mellow imp]

right

i alr did koffing so ill do weezing

[rich goblet]

That's really good that could be like bath bomb or something

https://tenor.com/bas59.gif

[mellow imp]

Contrary to popular misconception, POKENAME does in fact run on natural gas. They are such bad emitters that their trainers are taxed by the head. POKENAME unfortunatly has to pay... twice.

hows this

[mellow imp]

lowkey great idea, but i alr did koffing haha

[rich goblet]

Good point heh

I'll let someone better take up the feedback, I am working on my own submissions -w-

[narrow cosmos]

The tiny claws at POKENAME's underside allow it some mobility, and its shell is metallic and sturdy for great defense. Should it still find itself cornered, it can use mental waves to call nearby bug Pokémon to assist it.

[rich goblet]

I can see it

[narrow cosmos]

I wouldn't say I have any specialty Pokemon like someone here with Bulbasaur, but it's weird how easily Metapod/Kakuna entries come to me.

Didn't expect to do many tonight as late as it is, but always nice when I can poke out a few and hope they land.

[rich goblet]

I love the creativity of some folks and a little magikarp

Oh and Gyarados too

[narrow cosmos]

I did have fun making some entries for those two!

And bullying Feebas.

[mellow imp]

ill do a magikarp one too

[jagged ledge]

I'd say my specialty is more working on the Dex Grid and Priorities with Bulbasaur being the first real example of how far I'm willing to go but point taken

[narrow cosmos]

Surprised the dex grid still gets used, I thought it was kinda out of date. (I mean, taking a quick glance it technically is as there's no rows added for the 6.4 batch of Pokemon yet, but still)

[mellow imp]

The first POKENAME was believed to have come about when a magikarp took the notion that its flesh was too weak. Turns out its not so powerful this way either.

ok this ones sort of a joke

ig this isnt technically the pokedex style

i just love the joke ones can u blame me

[rich goblet]

https://youtu.be/mmOGOVD3Vfc?si=iy4NI1buISxwxt59

inspiration today lolol

[jagged ledge]

Well considering the fact my main goal in using it is to make people have to scroll to find blank spaces for an entry, I have no idea how the 6.4 additions fit

[narrow cosmos]

[mellow imp]

do you have any ideas for this magikarp above

[rich goblet]

The POKENAME is often seen at deeper elevations of the sea, their glowing whiskers providing light for them to see. They are able to hide their light, effectively allowing them to hide in the dark.

I think that should be a good character count but on mobile rn

[mellow imp]

you can submit that one

if youd like

[rich goblet]

Can’t, about to take a nap lololol

[jagged ledge]

Not at all, joke entries are fun practice to explore a concept. It's just that we work here to polish them so the content of the entry is the joke, not just the format

[fresh reef]

so are pokedex entries suppose to show up for fusions or are they suppose to say no pokedex entry for this pokemon?

[jagged ledge]

The "No Pokedex Entry" is a placeholder text for sprites that don't have custom entries yet.

[tiny charm]

<@&1210701164426039366> Hi hello!! I noticed all my Carbink/Ralts line fusions were accepted except for the Ralts one so I revised the entry if it was too short, please do tell me if there's any other problems with it.

Carts
478.285.png

Its rumored that POKENAME came about as a result of a caved in Ralts becoming cocooned by the rocks and jewels that would normally make up a Carbink. When living communally, it flashes light from its jewels to act as an alarm for approaching danger.

[hollow nimbus]

The problem with this is that it basically calls POKENAME a combination of a Ralts and some rocks rather than a combination of Ralts and an already-living Carbink

[tiny charm]

Alright I see, gimme a second

Better? Decided to just do-away with it for simplicity's sake.

Carts
478.285.png

Found living inside the deepest bowels of cave systems, POKENAME are typically shy and timid until they find another one of their own. When living communally, they flash light from their jewels to warn others of approaching danger.

[small nest]

Cute, I like it! Only feedback is that you'd want to maintain consistency between "it" and "they" - so "they flash light from their jewels," or maybe "individuals flash light from their jewels."

[tiny charm]

Good point!

[cedar sigil]

how often do the submissions get aproved? like is it once a week or would one need to wait a while

[regal cedar]

Just sort of varies on the backlog. Can take anywhere from a few days to longer

[cedar sigil]

i really wann do one for #357.203 and a few others so I was just trying to estimate when id know lol

[strange badge]

Thought I'd come up with my first custom dex entry. Celebrating my recent completion of my first run, I decided to make one for my team members.

Chandelmise (Chandelure/Dhelmise)

Rumors have circulated of a mysterious phantom ship sailing late at night. It's believed that POKENAME creates this illusion to lure unsuspecting sailors to their watery grave.

(I didn't make the art. I just came up with the idea for the dex entry.)

[cedar sigil]

Is this to dark, given that banette is a grudge curse doll and girafarig never sleeps?

Banfarig (Banette/Girafarig)

Using the subdued head to fuel its cursed energy, POKENAME can now roam unbound. It is ever searching for its previous owner.

[fair edge]

not at all! There's a rule in place of saying how dark things can get

Give me one moment

So while your entry doesn't outright involve violence, the fact that Banette's own entry mentions cursed energy/seeking its owner, it's absolutely not too dark :)

[rich goblet]

POKENAME are kept as pets in ponds and lakes, their large bodies requiring much space to swim around in. The white horn and blue scales make them appear much more vicious than they are.

Guess which entry this is? I'm going to periodically dot chat with a few of what I'm working on

I love, love writing so this is a nice exercise fo rme

HINT: High Priority List

[jagged ledge]

Shouldn't take more than a week at most. Most likely sooner though.

[jagged ledge]

Gyarados/Seaking?

[rich goblet]

Yesssssssss

Someone gets it

[jagged ledge]

👍

My one question

How are they kept as pets in lakes?

[cedar sigil]

meanwhile me with water types: Bewear/Azumaril xD

[rich goblet]

Socialite lakes

Not um

Pokemon level lakes

You know those rich folk in pokemon

[cedar sigil]

the ones eating tails

[rich goblet]

POKENAME are kept as pets in ponds and lakes, their large bodies requiring much space to swim around in. The yellow horns and orange with black scales make them striking choices among fish enthusiasts.

This the one for magikarp vesion for example

See they are meant for fish enthusiasts

[jagged ledge]

Maybe something like

Socialite trainers enjoy looking after POKENAME in specially constructed reserves. POKENAME are rather territorial and need room to swim, so it's rare to see more than two share a pond.

[rich goblet]

Oh that's a good way to describe it! I'll make a few changes to that line of pokemon

[jagged ledge]

Thanks, happy to help!

[jagged ledge]

It's not too dark, but Banette entries are a little funky because you're supposed to describe the fusion as something fitting the species, not a singular entity. It's one of the harder ones to fit the rule, like Cubone.

[cedar sigil]

well it is the fusion tho. its a parasitic entity

given that girafarig has two heads, both working together (or not) it can be two minds in one body

[jagged ledge]

Yes, that part is ok

Possessing/parasitizing is ok, the issue is the description of the singular owner.

[rich goblet]

Oh

I guess that works libreoffice

Anyway! How does that look?

(130.119 and 129.119 respectively)

I try to keep same line evolutions similar enough that they can be seen as same line, but distinct enough that the newer evolution adds something new

In this case Gyarados is more territorial

[tiny charm]

If you want an estimate I can personally say one of mine took like, just a few days.

[rich goblet]

Though I might work on Magikarp's more, it seems like a little lackluster

This works better IMO

🤔

[jagged ledge]

There's nothing technically wrong with repeating a setting/set-up between evolutions, but it's recommended to make each entry as independent as possible.

[rich goblet]

I'm definitely a nat geo lover so if I'm a bit basic let me know how I can improve

[rich goblet]

I think I get the picture now

[jagged ledge]

Maybe something like

The vibrant red scales of POKENAME make them popular among socialite trainers. They can grow to fit the containment they're kept in, so it's rare to see many of them in the same tank.

[jagged ledge]

That's also pretty solid!

[rich goblet]

Yeah! I got it now

[jagged ledge]

No worries, happy to help

[rich goblet]

This one is 130.120, and I'm debating on changing it since I'm not sure how to convey 'aggressive and playful'

[jagged ledge]

Well for starters, break down what you're trying to say. The first sentence only describes the appearance, so you could cut that to expand your idea instead.

[jagged ledge]

Looks great!

[rich goblet]

Oh that's a good point, maybe instead of fitting everything I can essentialize it

I think its clear from the sprite what it looks like 😂

[jagged ledge]

Yeah lol

Also I'm glad we have so many new writers and I'm happy to help, but I do need to get going for now. I'll try to stop back in tonight and approve some entries when I do. 👍

[rich goblet]

Okidoki!

[mellow imp]

are pokemon names capitalized?

that arent POKENAME i mean

[rich goblet]

1. I beleive so?
2. I would air on not referring to other pokemon since the entry is meant as a standalone pokemon

[mellow imp]

updated entry idea

For these Magikarp the flesh was decidedly too weak. As it happens POKENAME isnt so impressive this way either. Their sworn mission is to avenge the Magikarp who are disparaged by their trainers and defeat mankind, one splash at a time.

[jagged ledge]

Stepping in

First letter of Pokémon names are capitalized, yes.

[jagged ledge]

Nah, you can refer to other Pokémon, it just needs to be done in a way that fits and makes sense. All things in moderation and all that

[rich goblet]

I feel like Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year might be a niche holiday to reference, let me know if this one might need to be tweaked

[cedar sigil]

you use the word "often" a bit to ... well... often :D

[rich goblet]

Noted, will scale back often to rarely often /joke

[cedar sigil]

How about changing the last bit to:
"They are aloof most of the time and have to be bribed with berries."

[rich goblet]

But noted none the less

I just removed often from it, since it doesn't help the message

[cedar sigil]

xD

[sick bronze]

Is their a website/doc that has all custom Dex entries

[rich goblet]

See #dex-entries-submissions should help

[sick bronze]

Thanks

[cedar sigil]

I wish we could enter all unown fusions in wingdings font

or unown language lol

[rich goblet]

Whoops, missed an 'often'

God I really do use it a lot tho

[deft depot]

Hey @jagged ledge I’m doing a ||Torkoal/Rhyperior|| for #1240773622612889681 and wanted to see if you’d like to make the dex entry for it

[jagged ledge]

Are collaborations allowed? I've never tried the event before, but it could be fun to give it a shot.

[jagged ledge]

Which sprite is this referencing?

[rich goblet]

Magikarp Tododile

Sorry can’t look rn at the dentist

[jagged ledge]

It's ok, your teeth are important

Like tell me this mf doesn’t look like one of those Chinese lions or a lunar new year dragon

[jagged ledge]

A little.

[jagged ledge]

Why reporters? And if they're aloof, why do they need to be bribed to sit still? Wouldn't that be more bratty or rambunctious?

[rich goblet]

Reporters/photographers, using the closest analog I know

Also maybe sit still was poor word choice. I will change it to say focus when I’m back home

Oh wait

Isn’t cameraman an npc class

[jagged ledge]

Yeah focus on the dentist for now lol. We have time to fix this up later.

[rich goblet]

In theory I’m just waiting but without pc access I’m stuck in the metaphorical tall grass

[jagged ledge]

Understandable, it is a frustrating feeling to be in the waiting area

[rich goblet]

I believe one thing on the FAQ said we should refer to in game trainer classes > any other occupation right?

[jagged ledge]

I'm not sure on that one tbh. I can check in a bit though.

[rich goblet]

I could probably find it, one moment

[deft depot]

Yes they are

[rich goblet]

I stand corrected! I’ll change it to photographers when I can, along other changes
