[hollow nimbus]

Both look good!

I'm not certain em dashes are supported by the PIF typeface, so I suggest changing once—just to once - just

[cunning valley]

Yes it's better ! Thanks !

[wary scarab]

Thanks couldn't remember which format it supported lol

[hollow nimbus]

That's fine, it's pretty obscure

[reef pine]

it makes it sound like it only flies just before the offspring is born (maybe to get to a special nest for birthing?) is that intentional?

[hollow nimbus]

Even if you submit it with the wrong one, it's an easy fix on our part, and the filter will flag it for us

[reef pine]

thank you!

[wary scarab]

I believed at least that was @cunning valley 's intentions but perhaps not

[cunning valley]

Hmmm. Not really. It's more like it can't do it anymore because it's kinda dangerous for the baby 🫣

[wary scarab]

Ohh gotcha

[cunning valley]

So we should replace the just once

[hollow nimbus]

If there's a special reason it doesn't want to fly, make sure to state that clearly or people won't pick up on that.

[wary scarab]

Maybe something more like this then

POKENAME shelters its young within its pouch, protecting it with hardened scales. Though its sharpened blades once carried it through the skies, it now remains grounded to avoid harming its newborn offspring.

[cunning valley]

Since the Poke is able to fly at really high speed, the newborn is too fragile to handle it

[wary scarab]

I don't know if you would need to directly reference the hunting aspect?

Ofc I'm just throwing you ideas

It's your sprite afterall

[hollow nimbus]

I understand it, but most people would assume that a new-hatched Pocket Monster is less fragile than human babies tend to be.

[hollow nimbus]

This is a good version

[hollow nimbus]

My only nitpick is that saying protected by instead of protecting it with means that the mother is being protected.

[cunning valley]

No actually your version is really nice ! The hunting aspect is not that important after all

[wary scarab]

Also just figured out you could still copy code on mobile lol

[cunning valley]

Make sense but Mach 2 is really hard even for baby Poke 😬

If I remember well, Garchomp can fly at mach 2

[hollow nimbus]

They won't be thinking 'Mach 2' unless you say 'Mach 2'.

You have to assume that the player has no prior knowledge of these Pokémon.

||For some people, PIF is their first Pokémon experience.||

[cunning valley]

Hmmm ! Make sense !

[cunning valley]

How many characters are allowed at most?

[hollow nimbus]

250 iirc

It is pinned; I can check

[wary scarab]

Yeah 250 max

At minimum it must be 100

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, between 100 and 250 characters is the requirement for entries

||I don't have a head for numbers and have to come back here and check all the time ||

[cunning valley]

Ok ! I thought it was 200 ! So like this should be fine POKENAME shelters its young within its pouch, protecting it with hardened scales. Though its sharpened blades once carried it through the skies at Mach 2, it now remains grounded to avoid harming its newborn offspring.

[wary scarab]

But it also must be 2 sentences so usually it will be above 100 characters no matter what.

[hollow nimbus]

It must be about two sentences

[wary scarab]

Ah nevermind then

Context does matter lol

[hollow nimbus]

If your two sentences worth of info is better formatted as one or three sentences, go for it.

We just want to avoid two opposite scenarios:

POKENAME flies. It is fast. It likes to eat berries. It is afraid of humans.

or POKENAME flies, is fast, likes berries, is afraid of humans, grows very slowly, seeks out sunlight, and loves running.

[cunning valley]

Thank you for your feedbacks and all these explanations ! It gonna be really helpful to make future dex entries ^^

[hollow nimbus]

Remember, kids, the pinned messages are your friend 🤓

[dire arch]

First question: what's the difference between the entries discussion and entries submissions channels? Second: Is anyone allowed to submit entries for any pokemon in the game?

[dull folio]

Answer to first question, the submission channel is that, just to submit

[wary scarab]

1. Entry Discussion is where we discuss, brainstorm and help with edits

2. Yes anyone can submit

[dull folio]

And this is a place to talk about the dex entries and workshop them

[dire arch]

Cool, thanks.

[dull folio]

POKENAME is comically weak, unable to win even the easiest of battles. Despite its aquatic nature, it struggles even swimming, floundering helplessly on both land and water.

Static electricity passively builds up on POKENAME’s fur, playfully shocking its trainer by rubbing against them It’s very kindhearted and full of energy.

[cunning valley]

I have a question regarding the new sprite + dex entry publication in sprite gallery. It's mentioned that the last sprite will be used if I make alt for a sprite. Should I make a second post with the alt and the same dex entry or both will get it when they are in the same post?

[neat cypress]

lol we where just talking about this good that i also added the lore to the gallery even if it was posted a few hours before that anouncment i am talking abou the new announcement in #spriter-announcements

[dire arch]

Seeing as some fusion sprites have dex entries but their alt sprites have no dex entries (Gardevoir/Giratina for example) I personally would do both to be safe.

But I'm not the authority on this matter.

[cunning valley]

This means I should make an alt dex entry also ? Or it doesn't matter ? Because sometimes alts are just sfx added 🤔

[wary scarab]

For Day 11: Pop

POKENAME emits colourful clouds of smoke that pop when touched, releasing a soothing aroma. Trainers say its presence makes even the most anxious hearts feel light.

For Day 1: Cozy
POKENAME floats gently through the night sky, blanketing fields below in a soft shimmer. Many believe its presence brings cozy dreams to those who sleep beneath the stars.

POKENAME drifts silently across the sky, rarely stirring the air around it. Its true eye glows faintly, said to watch over sleeping travellers until dawn.

Kinda a shooting starish vibe

[green niche]

Roseish [roselia/shroomish]
Far in the past, POKENAME would go around in small towns spreading buish seeds and dancing. The townsfolk would keep some of the seeds as good luck charms and jewelry

I feel way better with this one

Also buish is the prevo for this one

[deft depot]

Now that we can post dex entries to the gallery, I’d need some help redacting my ideas for these ones

[terse tide]

Woah, those are some sick sprites

[lapis cosmos]

#1 is Toxapex/Tropius?

[deft depot]

Rn my ideas are:
Toxa/Tropius: Apex predator in both air and water. Hunts by poisoning the prey and waiting for it to faint
Pory-Z/Dusclops: Probably something about a digital virus that infected a Mon, making it glitch between realities.
Torkoal/Cobat: Uses the fire to hover, but can break the sound barrier by releasing smoke from the shell
Breloom/Hax: Sharp Druid that protects the nature

[deft depot]

Yes

Im just bad at writing, specially in English

[lapis cosmos]

Toxapex/Tropius: POKENAME is an apex predator that hunts by poisoning its prey, then trailing it until it faints. Adept at hunting from the sky or sea, it SOMETHING

[lapis cosmos]

Torkoal/Crobat: POKENAME hovers by gently controlling the fire vents on the underside of its wings, allowing it to graze from trees. To escape danger, it will overheat its shell, combusting a gas that blasts it fast enough to break the sound barrier.

PZ/Dusclops: POKENAME is a reality warping anomaly, glitching between the digital and physical world. It feeds on data and memories, leading to mass hysteria and confusion.
(not fully happy here, but just an idea)

[lunar stratus]

I got one rejected for Rule 9 ("Dex entries should describe the entire species rather than specific individual members of the species") but I was under the impression there was only one Jirachi? That's the the other dex entries sound like. Are there specific rules as to what's an one-of-a-kind legendary?

[lapis cosmos]

Breloom/Hax: POKENAME dedicates its life to protecting a section of an old-growth forest and its residents. When its home is threatened, it abandons its staff to fight off the invaders with swift punches or slashes from its sharpened crown.

[lapis cosmos]

It's just always best with fusions to assume there can be more than one.

For example, here's one of my legendary fusions:
Jirachi/Hydreigon (Jidreigon) #381.377 (sprite by .payapon)
POKENAME collects wishes for a decade before the three heads select one wish each to grant. The two brachial heads are more likely to pick lighthearted wishes, but the main head is more inclined towards selfish or vindictive wishes.

[terse tide]

Pory-Z/Dusclops: This Pokémon is constantly glitching between realities, its form never fully stable in one plane. Its body flickers like corrupted data, and staring at it too long can cause brief distortions in a viewer’s perception of time.

[deft depot]

Maybe it could be trapped between the digital world, real world and ghost world

[deft depot]

Uh, this is really good

Thanks for your help!

[lapis cosmos]

Happy to help! I love writing for your sprites.

[deft depot]

I’ll send it in their respective threads not to lose them, and I’ll give you credit when posting them

[deft depot]

Btw, what do you mean by “something” lol

[lapis cosmos]

Oh, I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to say there, lol

"it is unmatched in any arena."
"it only is threatened when on solid ground."

[deft depot]

I like that last part

[lapis cosmos]

Toxapex/Tropius: POKENAME is an apex predator that hunts by poisoning its prey, then trailing it until it faints. Adept at hunting from the sky or sea, it is only threatened when on solid ground.

same

[willow venture]

Making a whole series of continuous dex for the Milotic/Hydreigon line, using sprites from kattenkg for Feebas/Deino and emisys for Milotic/Deino and the rest:
394.375 (Feebas/Deino)
POKENAME can live in the toughest of environments, eating anything that comes their way despite their blindness. Unattractive at first glance, many Pokémon Hunters knew better and have been hunting them down for their more dazzling, beautiful evolved forms.

335.375 (Milotic/Deino)
POKENAME discards their hind legs for a beautiful tail, heavily sought after by hunters for its stained glass-like patterns. Because it only gains its vision recently and struggling to understand the world it sees, it makes POKENAME an ideal pet.

[willow venture]

335.376 (Milotic/Zweilous)
POKENAME's two heads, unlike many other Pokémon with multiple heads, are notably cooperative and get along with each other, though each head still equally vie for attention. It also becomes much more intelligent.

335.377 (Milotic/Hydreigon)
A marvelous Pokémon with exceptional intellect capable of speech with its Trainers and a truly beautiful form often used as inspiration for artists. Do not enrage POKENAME however, stories have told of POKENAME destroying its surroundings because a human disturbs it one too many times.

[deft depot]

I’d need help redacting something for these two, rn my idea is something about them eating so much honey when they were a baby, they created a sweet layer of protection against predators, but bug types are attracted to them without much they can do

[willow venture]

In its rabid consumption of honey, POKENAME's body created its own protective layer made of honey from its honey-filled body, which unfortunately does not do much to deter Bug Pokémon who are attracted to its sweet scent and dewy droppings.

Something like that maybe?

[deft depot]

Yes

[willow venture]

Hell yeah I'll submit it then

[deft depot]

That’s really good!

[willow venture]

If you can tell me the number?

[deft depot]

They’re not in the game yet

[willow venture]

Smh my head

[deft depot]

I’ll post the dex description when posting them to the gallery, I’ll give you credit for it

[willow venture]

Heck yea

[deft depot]

Im just really bad at redacting so all help is appreciated

I think I’ll change it a bit to be like this tho

In its rabid consumption of honey, POKENAME's body created its own protective layer from its honey-filled body, which unfortunately does not do much to deter Bug Pokémon who are attracted to its sweet scent and dewy droppings.

Just so we don’t use the word honey three times

[willow venture]

Yeeee that works

[deft depot]

In its rabid consumption of honey, POKENAME's body created a protective layer from its honey-filled body, which unfortunately does not do much to deter Bug Pokémon who are attracted to its sweet scent and dewy droppings.

This might be better

I’ll post it on the sprite thread so I don’t forget, and I’ll also ping you there 🫡

I post my sprites on Saturdays

[hollow tapir]

I enjoy this design

[lapis cosmos]

Welcome to my clinic, @hexed fog and your large entourage. I am Doctor Tabitha Asclepius. You're interested in Pokémon involved in the healing field? I have a few patients to attend to, but I will let you meet my team (and gym mascot) before we do battle for your Caduceus Badge.

Let me know if you need more information about any of them.

Quagsire/Venomoth (Quagmoth) #195.49 (sprite by gummy.frog)
POKENAME perches for days, blissfully unaware of anything that happens around it since its wings leak powdery scales with a strong numbing affect. This powder is collected to be used in a variety of pain relief medications and anesthesia.

Swablu/Paras (Swabras) #442.46 (sprite by chartanon)
POKENAME lives near populated areas and will seek out humans if it needs help cleaning itself. Its mushrooms can be ground into a powder that soothes sore throats, making this Pokémon especially popular with singers and public speakers.

Solosis/Cacnea (Solonea) #406.457 (sprites by fpsgamer48)
POKENAME’s protective layers regenerate quickly when damaged, but do not always grow back identically. Its gooey bubble soothes burns and irritated skin when applied, leading to some people caring for one in their home as a source of the gel.

Psyduck/Tentacool (Psycool) #54.72 (sprite by .zuccherino)
POKENAME jets around the ocean in constant fear of being eaten, but its toxicity is too strong for most predators. Its venom can be used to treat severe migraines and aid in lessening anxiety, but must be carefully extracted and nullified first.

Bellossom/Primepae (Bellape) #182.57 (sprite by knowlesy3612)
POKENAME loves to dance, but flies into a rage when onlookers laugh at its somewhat awkward movements. The petals of its flowers have a calming affect on others when turned into medicines or teas, but do not seem to help POKENAME’s temper.

Blissey/Muk (Blisuk) #242.89 (sprite by n30smoll)
POKENAME envelops the sick and injured in soothing hugs because the substance that constitutes its gooey body acts as a healing agent. It is loved for its caring nature, but unfortunately has an incurable, overly-sterile scent.

Gym Ace

Doduo/Ekans (Doans) #84.23 (sprite by thecheshirespy)
POKENAME is mischievous and will sneak into camps, steal an interesting item, and slither away extremely quickly. The two heads bicker often, but coil their necks around each other as a comforting method.

Mascot

[hexed fog]

Lmao

I take it you like the assignments

[lapis cosmos]

Quite a bit. It is also fun to just build a team that's more a thematic gym rather than type restricted.

Single type gyms are so last gen.

[hexed fog]

Ok then how about this:
New assignment! 10 water based pokemon that assist merchants somehow when they travel across seas.

We have so many water pokemon in the wild list

So please prefer those

[lapis cosmos]

I tried to grab a few for this team (the first three for sure, but flipped to Psycool as the sprite fit my brain so much more)

[hexed fog]

We just need more wild mons done especially since team wild is rounding the final 100 pkmn

[wary scarab]

Mmm maybe Ill take on this one too lol

[gloomy abyss]

Mantine/Lapras
226.131b

POKENAME's broad, wing-like fins provide exceptional stability in rough waters, ensuring safe passage for those it carries. Merchant vessels often rely on its steady pace for transoceanic travel.

[narrow cosmos]

Entering the nightly bunker to do my part after being busy for a while, knocking out a few wild entries here and there. Back in business.

Lots of people blowing me out of the water lately in creativity though.

[shrewd barn]

Mixing the acoustic power of two Exploud allows this pokémon to reach ear-splitting decibels. It is capable of emitting catastrophic sound waves that can shake up tectonic plates, causing supersonic calamities in its wake.

How we feeling about this one?

I want to make sure everything is alright

[small nest]

Remember that Pokémon is capitalized. Also, busting tectonic plates might be a little much (we try to steer clear of the Lanturn- or Magcargo-level entries that canon sometimes does).

[ebon warren]

This picture looks like that witch that betrayed Professor Sonya for Swordward and Shielbert!

[green niche]

Does anyone know what the neon yellow means in the Google sheet

[dull ore]

theres a colour explanations tab in the google sheet

Lurantis/Gliscor (477.273)

Despite its charming appearance, POKENAME will strike with startling speed and ferocity. They favour trees bearing Pecha Berries, as they allow easier camouflage.

[shrewd barn]

Alrighty, I've taken your advice and changed things a bit
Mixing the acoustic power of two Exploud allows this Pokémon to reach ear-splitting decibels, emitting sound waves that cause supersonic calamities in its wake. Aside from its destructive nature, the noises produced by POKENAME are surprisingly melodious.

[green niche]

I looked at it and nothing was there for it

[dull ore]

seems like its for sprites with multiple different dex entries

even if one is approved and one is not approve too

[nimble sage]

A formidable foe, POKENAME's colorful plumage serves as a warning to any rivaling species that might think to challenge its might.

Its power increases with the compression of its body. When facing larger foes, it will squish itself in order to appear larger.

[green niche]

Ahhhh ok I get it now thank you

I had to fix something so that’s why I sent two

[hollow tapir]

What a friend

[lapis cosmos]

Quagsire fusions make me happy.

[regal cedar]

You had two entries with the same number. That's why they're yellow. You sent in two entries.

[timber flower]

The sting of POKENAME produces venom powerful enough to take down ten men. It is able to produce this venom by consuming poisonous plants, which it carefully grows to keep up its supply.

[regal cedar]

It's in the FAQ.

[timber flower]

Sound good?

[regal cedar]

it's should be its!

[timber flower]

Ah thanks missed that

[regal cedar]

Other than that, seems good!

[green niche]

I’m sorry for being a bit slow but does that mean it can’t be approved or smt

[regal cedar]

No, not at all.

The one marked unapproved is since, well, there's two entries of nearly the same thing. One entry per number per user (discounting variants).

[green niche]

The first one got unapproved cause I forgot to add a period at the end

[bold ivy]

POKENAME is breathtakingly beautiful. Those that see it emerging from its shell are said to forget their combative spirits.
Clamperl/Milotic (562.335)
based on X dex entry

[regal cedar]

You submitted it twice. In the future, you can also ask us to change it.

[green niche]

Ok sick just making sure

[nimble sage]

@regal cedar my rating

I have 2 entries I need checked, please

[regal cedar]

[regal cedar]

Serve should be "serves" as it's a singular POKENAME.

[stuck shoal]

wait we can summon a poor unown to give feedback? /hj

[regal cedar]

What do you mean by depression, in this case? Do you mean compression? Or that if it gets squeezed, it becomes more powerful?

[nimble sage]

more squeeze, more power

[nimble sage]

I actually had it as serves and reverted it

[stuck shoal]

tbh I think changing "rivaling species" might make it more clear because the sentence reads as a singular entitiy but the mention of another species implies its being referred to as a species

if that makes sense

"rivaling forces" maybe?

[regal cedar]

Compressed/compression would fit better in this case. "Its power increases the more its body is compressed."

[regal cedar]

I think it's alright. A single being has a species, too, after all.

[stuck shoal]

yeah I just think it'd be more clear with the small change, not that its needed

I think it's also because I see legendary pokemon as a singular so I'm reading this as that rather than an individual of a species

[nimble sage]

good?

[regal cedar]

Yup!

[bold ivy]

It bounces around on its tail to keep its heart pumping. It flaunts a stolen pearl on its head like a trophy.
Poochyena/Spoink

[haughty pike]

Hi, I have a remark for your dex entry for the milotic/ hydreigon fusion. As far as I know, Pokémon are not supposed to gain speech by fusion. Since the speech seems to be used to show the Pokémon's intelligence, maybe change it to another feat of intelligence.
I don't know if you appreciate inspiration, but maybe their memory is impeccable and they remember entire cave systems. Maybe they hunt by outsmarting their prey. Maybe they even have great artistic insight and they only appear to artists when the sunlight makes them appear at their most beautiful.
Hope you appreciate the feedback!

[green niche]

Just wanted to say thank you again

[willow venture]

All good I can reedit/repost

[willow venture]

For reference for my Feebas/Deino line go here

Reposted entry for 335.377 (Milotic/Hydreigon)
A marvelous Pokémon with exceptional intellect, impeccable memory, and a truly beautiful form often used as inspiration for artists. Do not enrage POKENAME however, stories have told of POKENAME destroying its surroundings because a human disturbs it one too many times.

[bold ivy]

POKENAME burrows through the ground recklessly without a care. Its treacherous wake can crumble mountains and bury rivers.

Diglett/Tyranitar

[restive harness]

i forgot about this for like months but i made a sprite that i want a dex for
being Don’t be fooled by POKENAME’s friendly appearance- it is still highly venomous and may even attack unprovoked due to Scolipede’s aggressive nature.

wanted to do a quick run-through to see if it checks out

[bold ivy]

Don’t be fooled by POKENAME’s friendly appearance—it is still highly poisonous and may even attack unprovoked due to its aggressive nature.

I'd probably do smn like this^

I don't think you want references to specific pokemon that make up the fusion and fixed some capitalization/spacing/changed to em dash

til there's no space before or after em dash

[green niche]

I really like when pokedex entries talk about like something they do

Or what humans use them for

:3

Sorry that sounded a bit passive aggressive

[dull ore]

I think venomous makes more sense here than poisonous too

[restive harness]

i've been allowed to refrence specific parts of the fusion before and hadn't had a problem with it
i'll wait on it though just in case

[bold ivy]

oh okie

[hollow tapir]

Forgot to respond but true. Lil guys

[green niche]

These mischievous pokèmon are known for their baseball related antics, especially antics having to do with breaking things with their club-like appendages. However, once they’re on a team, they work together like no other

How does this look for the cacnea/geodude fusion

[wary scarab]

So a couple things here:

1. pokémon needs to be Pokémon
2. like no other feels vague, are you trying to say they work together better than any other Pokémon?
3. Antics is used a lot and nearly back to back, maybe a synonym like hijinks or "misbehavour``` could work better?
4. The entry at the moment is too long, all dex entries have a max character limit of 250, this is currently sitting at 256.

[wary scarab]

Maybe something more like this

These mischievous Pokémon are known for swinging their club-like appendages to break objects in play. Though chaotic alone, when grouped, they show remarkable coordination and act as one seamless unit.

[bold ivy]

accent is wrong direction

é

[wary scarab]

That's what I get for using my drag lol

[bold ivy]

These mischievous Pokémon are known for swinging their club-like appendages to break objects in play. Though chaotic alone, when grouped they show remarkable coordination and act as one seamless unit.

no hypen space, no comma (unsure about comma but I think it makes more sense this way, feel free to run it thru a grammar checker)

[hexed fog]

Ok all non izik entries are cleaned

[green niche]

Yeah that’s way better thank you

[hexed fog]

@wary scarab is the new unown so off to the pile you go lol

[green niche]

The more I make the better I’ll get I guess

[wary scarab]

The hypen space is due to a conversation a couple days ago regarding the em dash, which is what that was initially

[bold ivy]

oh can you link me, I thought there's no space for em dash based on what I looked up this morning

[wary scarab]

#dex-entries-discussion message

Its a thing for the actual game but in theory it's not a hard thing to fix when it's submitted

[wary scarab]

I shall do my best

[bold ivy]

ohhh I see. for a regular hyphenated word, it's fine to do hyphen without space still right?

[wary scarab]

Yeah that would work, my device just likes to autocorrect things so that's how I was formatting it until I could fix it manually lol

[bold ivy]

cool cool

[fading scaffold]

Woollen armour tricks unaware attackers, when they strike POKENAMES seemingly fluffy exterior, the assailant is likely stunned by the solid nature of the wool, and left ripe for a zap

1st time doing a dex entry, hows this??

[wary scarab]

Its not bad at all just needs some formatting work and some spelling checks.

Maybe something more like POKENAME's woollen armour tricks unaware attackers with its seemingly fluffy exterior. In reality, the solid fibres of its wool leave assailants stunned, making them easy targets for a sudden zap.

[wary scarab]

This is also an adorable sprite btw

[fading scaffold]

I love that, can i just use that and give a credit to you?, also thanks so much

[wary scarab]

Feel free to use it, no need to credit me^^

Also ofc

Its your words I just move em around ^^

[fading scaffold]

tyty

[limber parrot]

POKENAME are hoarders and hidden within their bodies are candies, chocolates, and syrups. One cup of its body may contain over 500 grams of sugar.

thoughts? this one is a bit weird

especially since you talk about eating them and whatnot

[lapis cosmos]

Small revisions for conciseness

POKENAME hoard candies, chocolates, and syrups to make its body, hiding its favorites within. One cup of its body may contain over 500 grams of sugar.

[limber parrot]

oh i like that

[lapis cosmos]

I’m sure it could be improved but I saw that hoard could be verbed and so more info could appear elsewhere. Your base entry is good!

[topaz stream]

POKENAME barrels through the land like a living storm cloud, its thunderous charges leaving trails of shattered stone and scorched earth. Said to draw lightning with its pointed spikes, it is unknown what drives it to rampage so fiercely.

thoughts?

[narrow cosmos]

Very nice, I feel.

[green niche]

Heyyyy

[terse tide]

Question, what would you all call the "blades?" They aren't really blades or arms and I'm at a loss of what to call them.

[green niche]

So like

When someone approved my dex entry they said I made a typo

But it wasn’t

And it’s ok but like who can I talk to to get it fixed

[topaz stream]

maces?

[topaz stream]

not sure

[terse tide]

THAT'S THE WORD! Thank you

[green niche]

Well they corrected the pre evos name to bush

And that was what the whole dex entry was based on

Yet again I’m not mad I just wanna get it straight

Yk

[green niche]

Ykw it’s actually ok

I’ll just get to work on my next one

[dull ore]

Snorunt/Infernape

They are found in snowy environments, often at high elevations. To stay warm in these conditions, they must stay active constantly, only resting if they happen upon a geothermal hot spring.

[cunning valley]

Electivire/Giratina (267.345) POKENAME's body generates the equivalent of twenty years’ worth of electricity consumed by Lumiose city in a single heartbeat. The danger it poses earned it exile to a forgotten world, where it now rages alone.

[wanton ember]

hi, carrots and me are working on an entry for #1372997057769377874 :
Research states that POKENAME was a shard of the moon that fell into the ocean, carrying lunar power. Some report that the ocean bends towards it as it glides over the water.

thoughts?

i want it to be more sciency, not legends/myths

[hollow prawn]

Some "boulder club" ?

[summer saffron]

:3

[regal cedar]

A comma after 'conditions'.

[regal cedar]

I believe this would be more than 1,073,000,000,000,000.

Miiight be a bit excessive. But maybe not.

[willow venture]

Mr. Mime/Probopass (122.326a, also 122.326b since the differences are minute, mostly colors)
POKENAME is beloved by many children as the huge, jolly juggler in circuses. POKENAME is also a secret guardian for its fellow performers, using its telekinesis to create invisible crushing walls against those who dare hurt anyone in the circus.

[raw vigil]

POKENAME are caretakers for kindergartens. They aid and play with younger Pokémon and children. To ensure their well-being their flower contains various medical cells which can be used to heal wounds and rashes.

It is said that these Pokémon can only be encountered in a foggy night on sea. They use their tail to guide lost Pokémon and Trainers back to the mainland. Despite their beauty they will rarely directly interact with them due to their high level of shyness.

[clear hollow]

hey Unowns, there's a typo slipped in one of my entries that I only noticed just now

These Pokémon originate from a virus that that was somehow exposed to the energy from the electric crystals of the Chargestone Cave in Unova region. Groups of POKENAME spin big, complicated webs that paralyze the trapped prey and affect their brains.
there's "that that" after the word "virus", can anyone please fix it for me?

[crimson ledge]

Fixed.

[clear hollow]

thanks!

[hexed fog]

Oh it wasn't capitalized so I thought it was a typo lol

Want me to swap it back? It's not a big deal

[clear hollow]

POKENAME live on damp cave walls, not slipping thanks to the tenacious ends of their legs. They won't move unless disturbed, pretenting to be gemstones until the very last moment before scattering around in fear.

These Pokémon are found hovering above all sorts of cave reservoirs. With their wings and legs glowing in the dark, sparkling like precious gems, they lure Sableye into the water where they're less likely to escape a group of hungry POKENAME.

[green niche]

Yes sir thank you

[rugged socket]

POKENAME uses its large ears to check its surroundings, with even the tiniest sound greatly amplified to a POKENAME. Loud noises can get overwhelming, so they often dive into pools of water to disperse the sound.

[trim sinew]

Combining its physical prowess and psychic mastery, POKENAME channels its power through a single, focused will to burn their enemies.

POKENAME spends most of its time lounging near riverbanks in trees sleeping. The sound of rain can make POKENAME fall asleep faster.

[craggy beacon]

Spends most of its time lounging near riverbanks in trees sleeping
this is not a complete sentence

ideally, you want complete sentences in dex entries

quick fix would be to add a subject to the sentence

e.g
POKENAME spends most of its time lounging near riverbanks in trees sleeping.
It spends most of its time lounging near riverbanks in trees sleeping.

[trim sinew]

ok i write it in my words

[small nest]

Fun entry! I would edit the last phrase to to create invisible walls which crush those who dare.

[small nest]

Remember to add a comma after well-being. I would also flesh the second sentence out a little - it's not clear whose well-being the cells are for.

[small nest]

I recommend using POKENAME at least once in the entry. The last sentence is a little unclear (they will rarely directly interact with them), so maybe you could put an instance of POKENAME in there?
Despite their beauty, POKENAME are usually too shy to interact directly with their charges.

[small nest]

I would edit the first bit to be more clear whether you're referring to the actual fusion process or just POKENAME's talents. For instance, you could say Blending the physical prowess and psychic mastery of its component Pokémon, or Combining its physical prowess with its psychic mastery,

[trim sinew]

Thank u i will rewrite it

[regal cedar]

I think I'd like more specific details on the 'tenacious ends of their legs'. Is it sticky? Strong?

[small nest]

Surskit secretes an oil to help it walk on water, right? Maybe you could be more explicit about a similar oil letting it cling to walls.

[clear hollow]

I wasn't sure how to write it cuz I'm not really familiar with the word "tenacious" and used Google Translate for that part

[regal cedar]

Tenacious is a suitable word for that.

[crimson ledge]

@willow venture Hello. Three of your recent submissions need some slight revisions to be accepted:

394.375.png:
Despite their blindness, POKENAME can live in the toughest of environments, eating anything that comes their way. Though unattractive at first glance, many Pokémon Hunters know better and have been hunting them down, waiting for them to evolve.
This needs clarity on why Pokémon Hunters hunt them. Please remember that entries need to be self-contained and understandable without context from other entries.

335.375.png:
POKENAME discards their hind legs for a beautiful tail, heavily sought after by poachers for its stained glass-like patterns. Because it only gained its vision recently, its helplessness and cuteness makes for an ideal pet.
This one's second sentence is a little too subjective. Remember the tone should be encyclopedic and factual. You might instead say that many people consider it to be helpless and cute, for example.

335.377a.png:
A marvelous Pokémon with exceptional intellect, impeccable memory, and a truly beautiful form, often seen in artworks. Don't enrage it however, as despite its beauty it is more than capable of destruction, with violent flood as its most often method.
Similar to the previous one, this description is too subjective.

[clear hollow]

I'll try to rewrite it with something about the oil it secrets being sticky

[regal cedar]

Let's see.... I'd like feedback on this.

Slowking/Ludicolo (199.497)
POKENAME seems to enjoy dancing to the audio of instructional media rather than any type of music. Its energy and passion for learning is particularly infectious to young and curious Pokémon. It can be found by bodies of water near urban areas.

Munchlax/Trevenant

In addition to its beloved Berries, POKENAME has a powerful affinity for all kinds of seeds. The stashes of fruit and seeds it creates can grow so huge that the stash may start acting as fertilizer or even a small ecosystem for small Pokémon.

[regal cedar]

Vibrava/Voltorb

POKENAME cover themselves in a sticky fluid that allows them roll up poles and onto power lines. They can keep themselves suspended there thanks to the nearby electrical current. From there, POKENAME can easily strike down their prey: bird Pokémon.

[lapis cosmos]

Small rec: Thanks to the electrical current, it can stay suspended for long periods and easily strike down its bird Pokémon prey.

And "them" to "it" since POKENAME is singular.

[regal cedar]

Is it? It depends on the context.

Did I miss something?

[lapis cosmos]

I mean, technically it depends, but I think POKENAMEs is what has been requested, right?

[regal cedar]

No. The plural of POKENAME is still POKENAME. Like deer.

Pikachu can refer to many or one depending on the context.

[lapis cosmos]

Huh, well, then I can go back to going with what makes more grammatical sense rather than just fixing it to fix it!

[lapis cosmos]

Revision thoughts: POKENAME (has an insatiable desire to gain more knowledge and) enjoys dancing to instructional media rather than any type of music. Its energy and passion for learning is particularly infectious to young and curious Pokémon. ~~It can be found by bodies of water near urban areas.~~

Just some word cuts for same meaning. Not sure if you need the last line but that's a total preference thing. Parenthetical section is an add that is unneeded, but ups the reason it enjoys that audio. I like the take on this fusion.

[regal cedar]

Yeah, I thought about not adding it, but it felt a little short. Guess that's common, though.

[lapis cosmos]

Word revision (not necessary but just and idea): POKENAME has an affinity for all kinds of seeds, but is especially drawn to berries.

The first time I read it I assumed the stashes were inside itself until the ending. Probably just a me thing.

And I think you can cut the small before ecosystems as having it in front of Pokemon sells the size.

[lapis cosmos]

I get that. I have that issue some times, but some entries are just shorter. Or you can add some flashy adjectives/adverbs.

[clear hollow]

POKENAME live on damp cave walls, not slipping thanks to the sticky oil they secret from the ends of their legs. They won't move unless disturbed, pretenting to be gemstones until the very last moment before scattering in fear.

Revisited the entry, how does it look?

[lapis cosmos]

Nice entry! I think either "scattering in fear" or "skittering around in fear" is more likely what you're looking for.

[clear hollow]

Thanks!

And edited

[lapis cosmos]

Ahoy! Welcome aboard the Shiny Hunter! The captain is absent at this time, but if you'd like to meet some of the fine Pokémon who help crew this ship (as @hexed fog has requested), feel free to look around and ask away!
[incoming 10 entries]

Lanturn/Octillery (Lanllery) #171.224 (sprite by legtendga)
POKENAME searches tunnels for prey, blinding them by flashing its light before striking. For a long time, merchants have kept one for sailing at night, when it climbs onto the prow and shines its beacon to signal other ships and highlight obstacles.

Marill/Houndour (Madour) #183.228 (sprite by screeeee.)
POKENAME fiercely protects those it considers its pack, with whom it loves to roughhouse. It is trained to help on container ships by hunting vermin and rescuing crew that fall overboard.

Pyukumuku/Murkrow (Pyukukrow) #370.198 (sprite by remoraid45)
POKENAME has a strong sense of direction, so sailors keep them out of tradition for when they were used to seek land. When it returns to the boat, it receives a shiny reward and then communicates what it saw using the foamy organ on its head.
[not sure if I should have the second sentence in past tense]

Seel/Gyarados (Seedos) #86.130 (sprite by kiwikelly)
A playful and friendly Pokémon, POKENAME enjoys lazily swimming alongside ships and performing for the passengers. Sailors adopt it because its intimidating size and appearance scares away trouble.

Staryu/Stunfisk (Starfisk) #120.420 (sprite by kiwiarms)
POKENAME burrows in shallow ocean sands, beneath which its red gem shines bright on moonlit nights. Sailors hang one over their ship controls for good luck based on the old legends that POKENAME is a lost mermaid coin.

Squirtle/Tyrogue (Squirtrogue) #7.236 (sprite by floopussoupus)
POKENAME cooperates well with others as it seeks to learn from and emulate those it admires. It is often found on ships helping with sailing tasks, learning skills that will influence its evolution.

Ariados/Vaporeon (Ariaeon) #168.134 (sprite by 666didine)
POKENAMEs weave a strong web in the shape of a tail that aids it in attracting prey like Shellder. They are sometimes trained by sailors to use their webs to better secure cargo for long voyages.

Mareanie/Ambipom (Marpom) #454.254 (sprite by gaogao028)
POKENAME has tiny tubes on its limbs that help it adhere to and climb over surfaces. It frequently helps clean the hulls of ships by eating marine fouling organisms growing on them, but it is easily insulted if not rewarded.

(I know it's not water type, but it started as one...)

Piloswine/Dewgong (Pilogong) #221.87 (sprite by kiwikelly)
POKENAMEs live in herds where they compete by swiping tusks and horns at each other. Sailors traveling through icy waters keep them to clear icebergs, which the POKENAMEs crash into with their horns.

Sharpedo/Lapras (Sharpras) #437.131 (sprite by cabine and gurgy**)**
POKENAME is extremely territorial, especially with its dwindling population, and viciously sinks ships and attacks anything while protecting its nesting grounds. Daring captains train POKENAME to protect their ships on voyages.

That's all (9/10 being wild and catchable list). Would love feedback on any!

[novel cipher]

Reuniclus/Crobat (359.169a)

"Their immense psychic abilities allow POKENAME to navigate even the most unfamiliar of caverns with unmatched speed. They shed old and excess slime as they fly, so cave explorers often follow the trails they leave behind to avoid dead ends"

[novel cipher]

oo thats cool! i'd replace "Daring captains train one..." with "Daring captains train POKENAME..."

[hexed fog]

Yessssss

I'd love to see 10 entries for wild pokemon that assist during wildfires

[lapis cosmos]

On it.

[topaz stream]

POKENAME wears a full suit of metal armor, its helmet crowned with steel spikes. It seeks out high-quality iron ore to forge its mask, and devours the leftovers to strengthen its iron-plated body.

[lapis cosmos]

Found 13 on the priority list that give me ideas, so I'll def be able to make 10.

[terse tide]

@hexed fog Phew, finally got it done. Took a bit with AP tests in the way but it's finished. Here are the 50 dex entries entries for Diction Dex week 4/4! Ill start submitting them now for review and will edit them later. Who knows, maybe I wont have to edit them

[regal cedar]

Hi @terse tide, you have two entries that have the same sprite # that were submitted close to the same time but have wildly different content. Was this intentional? Was one meant to be a different sprite?

[terse tide]

Let me check real quick

[terse tide]

Yes it appears I entered the wrong dex entry for the second one, give me a second while I try to find it

Hmm that's strange, even the pokemon I have listed on my own google sheet is incorrect, give me a moment

[terse tide]

I believe that the correct dex entry was 357.105b. Should I resubmit it or can you manually change it?

[regal cedar]

I can change it, but which is supposed to be 357.105b? Top, or bottom?

[terse tide]

The bottom one

Sorry for the inconvenience

[regal cedar]

NP! It's our job.

[hexed fog]

HELL YEAH lemme know when theyre all approved 🙂

[regal cedar]

I dunno if I can do 50...maybe a small diction thing, hwaha

Hey, I'm just finding out about this again myself, but something I want to convey, @lapis cosmos, is that when a comma is used before 'but', the clause afterwards needs to have a subject, even if it's just "it" or "they" added. Otherwise, you just remove the comma.

For instance: "The two heads bicker often, but coil their necks around each other as a comforting method."

It would need "they" after "but", or entirely need the comma removed (although I think that'd come across as awkward in this case).

Myself, I changed it to:
"The two heads may bicker often, but they coil their necks around each other as a comforting method."

[lapis cosmos]

Thanks. Fixed one of my sailor entries.

[lapis cosmos]

Also, I am clearly losing my mind because of those two affect/effect mix-ups...

<@&1210701164426039366> If referring to Pokémon Rangers (the trainer class) which rule does that follow: Trainer or other classes? I ask because of the whole spinoff game and such. Just wanted to confirm! Thanks!

[hollow nimbus]

They would be called Pokémon Rangers

Both the Trainer class and the profession linked to the Ranger Union are called Pokémon Rangers

[lapis cosmos]

I thought so! @hexed fog 's most recent assignment for me has me referencing them a lot.

[hollow nimbus]

||Are they actually the same thing? I don't actually know, but I'd like to think so 👁️||

I don't think the core game Rangers and the spin-off are the exact same, but they function very similarly.

Yup

Oooo thank you! Lemme try the revisions then

Despite their blindness, POKENAME can live in the toughest of environments, eating anything that comes their way. Because of their more beautiful evolved forms, Pokémon Hunters often hunt them down to the point of near extinction.

335.375

POKENAME discards their hind legs for a dazzlign tail, heavily sought after by hunters for its stained glass-like patterns. Its small stature and helplessness is considered by many Trainers to be very cute.

335.375a
A marvelous Pokémon with exceptional intellect and impeccable memory, owing to its three united heads. It has been seen in many artworks in all of civilizations, from ancient murals to modern grafittis, depicting its ferocity.

How y'all think about this

[timid sky]

I’m pretty sure they’re not, as the union Rangers don’t keep Pokémon in poke balls

[hollow nimbus]

I know, I just like to have my lil headcanons

Spriters are so impressive. They can take an underwhelming (not bad, just fine) designed Pokémon and make it look just awesome.

Aw man, fusion 431.38 sprite isnt in the game yet. The curse of looking at infinitefusions and not fusiondex

[hollow nimbus]

Poké Balls are sort of outlawed within the Ranger Union, but I like to think that Rangers operating outside of the Union's territory are allowed to use Poké Balls in accordance with local customs

[lapis cosmos]

Ranger Sage reporting for duty. I'm a wildfire specialist with our Poké-National Parks. @hexed fog wanted to learn more about some of the Pokémon who help us with the important work protecting and maintaining our habitats from wildfires. Feel free to ask any questions about them or point out any information in need of clarification!

Larvitar/Rapidash (Larvidash) #246.78 (sprite by .payapon)
POKENAME emits a steady stream of sand, allowing it to obscure its escape from a threat. Pokémon Rangers ride it while controlling fires, prescribed or wild, swifty creating boundary lines of sand that block the path of flames.

Lucario/Crobat (Lucabat) #296.169 (sprite by fergul_)
POKENAME is an adept nocturnal hunter, able to identify targets in complete darkness due to its ability to sense auras. It helps Pokémon Rangers locate those in need of rescue by noticing their aura and swooping in to airlift them.

Phantump/Slugma (Phantgma) #438.218 (sprite by knilk)
POKENAME is believed to be the tarlike ghost of an animal possessing a stump, both of which were killed in the same human-caused fire. It proactively scours the forest for debris that would worsen a wildfire and consumes it.

Piloswine/Ursaring (Piloring) #221.217 (sprite by howquaint)
POKENAME is a rare sight, found in temperate forests and tundras, where it lumbers about searching for food to provide for its young. It often stealthily watches campers and rushes into their camp in a rage if it witnesses poor wilderness respect.

Totodile/Koffing (Totofing) #158.109 (sprite by totodile.)
POKENAME can hover, but prefers rolling around in its watery habitat, playing with other Pokémon. It helps fight forest fires by floating with Pokémon Rangers on the ground and protecting them and their Pokémon with its omnidirectional water spray.

Munchlax/Graveler (Munchler) #260.75 (sprite by lotto)
POKENAME eats anything, and the more variety in its diet, the tougher its rocky hide becomes. Because of its impervious nature, Pokémon Rangers train it to enter wildfires so it can move dirt and boulders to smother the fire.

Poliwhirl/Scyther (Polither) #61.123 (sprite by zephyrcentauri)
POKENAME cuts down trees with its saw blade arms to use in the construction of a hive in the middle of a lake. Pokémon Rangers train groups of POKENAMEs to cut down trees ahead of approaching forest fires.

Lombre/Kangaskhan (Lomkhan) #496.115 (sprite by gasmaskblacky and screeeee.)
POKENAME cares for the adolescent Pokémon in its community, creating games in the shallows and splashing them with water from its crown. During wildfires, it shepherds young and injured Pokémon to the water, where it tends to those it can help.

Rapidash/Steelix (Rapilix) #78.208 (sprite by x.wyrm.x)
POKENAME tunnels deep below volcanos, the heat and pressure hardening its spikes into diamonds. It is coveted as a partner by Pokémon Rangers as it can dig trenches around disasters to mitigate danger while being safe from blunt damage and fire.

Talonflame/Ledian (Talonian) #372.166 (sprite by tylerthefancy)
POKENAME is fire resistant and has a goggle-like film that protects its eyes from smoke, so it is a valuable partner for any Ranger involved in fighting wildfires. It flies with precise maneuvers, fearlessly darting into danger and around obstacles.

[hexed fog]

awesome job!

I'd love to see 10 pokemon that aid in mining or rock quarries!

We'll see when those appear, but I'll begin the brainstorm!

The iron armor around POKENAME's body has thickened into a solid carapace. It hurls its heavy body into threats without hesitation, its iron mask glowing faintly from the refined ore it’s forged from.

[dull ore]

Metagross/Lurantis
Entirely fuelled by sunlight, it can strike with enough force to level buildings. It stores the energy obtained during sunnier spells to outlast spates of cloudy weather.

Metang/Lurantis
Many of these Pokémon have been recorded rescuing travellers in precarious situations. One such case describes a POKENAME lifting a boulder over ten times its size.

Beldum/Lurantis
In a state of incomplete fusion, only one of its arms has taken on the form provided by its new head. As a result, it is proficient in both slicing and bludgeoning foes during combat.

[lapis cosmos]

Its thanks to Izik for throwing the salad prompt and I just thought "What would a non type based gym themed around this look like?"

[lapis cosmos]

It's a delightful sprite! The idea for the entry popped into my head immediately.

[green niche]

I think it looks amazing tbh

[regal cedar]

Oh my. I'll have to review these!

[hollow nimbus]

I have a few thoughts.
First of all, Always seeking balance and fairness. is a sentence fragment. This one is a predicate without a subject. I suggest changing the sentence to POKENAME always seeks balance and fairness.

I am a bit unsure what an upset judgement would mean.

Is that people acting counter to its decisions? Or is that it being unable to come to a conclusion?

This might cause it to be unsure has one of those unnecessary "weasel words", as described in the pins. This causes it to be unsure reads more strongly.
I would even suggest This causes it to become unsure or This causes it uncertainty.

strongly want to fix things, is a good idea, but it is awkwardly worded. I suggest seeking synonyms for your thoughts so you can convey them more clearly.
yearn to correct wrongs or have a strong desire to repair its surroundings may be more aligned with your original intention.

The entry ends with , sometimes acting cold."
The -ing changes the tense from the previously used present tense (cause, want) to present progressive (acting). Change acting to acts to maintain the same tense through the sentence.

That gives us , sometimes acts cold." This sounds strange, though. Why?

The first part of the sentence is, with minimum changes, This causes it to be unsure and strongly want to fix things,. The sentence is talking about the situation of the fusion's judgement being upset. The situation (subject) causes (predicate).
So, sometimes acts cold also is describing the situation as a result of being part of the same sentence with no apparent subject change.

The situation of the fusion's judgement being upset acts cold? This does not make sense. We can change it in one of three ways:

1. Make the last sentence a compound sentence: This causes it to be unsure and strongly want to fix things, and POKENAME sometimes acts cold."

2. Split the last sentence into separate sentences: This causes it to be unsure and strongly want to fix things. POKENAME sometimes acts cold."

3. Remove the last bit of information. This is always a bummer to have to do, but sometimes our ideas for a sprite derail the topic of the entry.
   POKENAME always seeks balance and fairness. If its judgment is upset, it can lose its inner peace. This causes it to be unsure and strongly want to fix things.

The last correction is to remove the " from the end of the entry.

[hollow nimbus]

Since you are saying that it is drumming in the ceremonies rather than it is known in the ceremonies, I would change drumming in spiritual ceremonies to drumming during spiritual ceremonies.

[green niche]

Thank you very much for all this feedback!

Thanks again for all this great advice!

[hollow tapir]

I’d argue (at least with what you just said) you sound lovely at English! It’s my only language and I still fuck it up

[dull folio]

POKENAME stretches bubbles into barriers that are surprisingly solid and can withstand against many forceful attacks. It acts as if it is a noble king, strutting with a pompous arrogance wherever it is.

[hollow tapir]

Woah that’s almost cute (a compliment given it’s related to the mime)

[dull folio]

I get what you mean the fact that it’s from a mr mime is just unsettling lol

It’s like hypno fusions, something just makes you slightly uncomfortable

[hollow tapir]

Mr Mime in general scares me. His child form and Mr rhyme are okay tho

[dull folio]

Oh yeah I love the Galar versions they’re just happy to be dancing

[midnight siren]

why you afraid of mime

mr mime is just a silly lil lad

[hollow tapir]

Because he’s terrifying

He looks like he’ll prey on me

Mimes and clowns in general typically freak me out

[midnight siren]

fair enough lol

[regal cedar]

I'd personally suggest removing 'great', since I think that normally carries positive connotations, although leaving it in would be correct still.

[lunar stratus]

This fusion was born from Jirachi's desire to share the starry sky with deep-sea Pokémon. POKENAME uses its immense psychic powers to maintain its friends' habitat.

This was rejected for being "specific to a member of the species, not the species in general." Does anyone have idea for fixing that while keeping the heart of the entry? I really liked this one

[midnight siren]

i think its just the first sentence thats an issue, it might be cause it currently is talking about a specific Jirachi - "Jirachi's desire" impling a single Jirachi

maybe change that first sentence to something like "POKENAME desires to share the starry sky with the deep-sea Pokémon it grows up with."

[lunar stratus]

Oh that's just as cute 🥺
Thank you!

[twilit onyx]

Rather than spam this channel with each one individually, if anyone has any feedback for any of these I'd greately appreciate it - thanks 😄

POKENAME uses its poison-full appendages to paralyze and apprehend its target before consumption. The swirl on its chest is also used to mesmerize its natural predators into doing its bidding.

this ones a bit rushed ngl

POKENAME’s steel carapace is layered like ceremonial armor, polished to a shine and adorned with jagged spikes. It meets foes with unwavering discipline, lowering its gleaming helm before charging with unstoppable force.

yo I rly like this one good job

[topaz stream]

thx

[willow venture]

If any artists want to have their sprites dexed let me know I'm thinking of doing this as well

Though it's probably gonna be less themed around a theme more just a group (like if you guys made a sprite for a fusion evo line, or a set of fusion using one same pokemon etc etc)

[summer saffron]

POKENAME manipulates its electromagnetic field to launch or retract its legs at high speeds. It has to be careful when tired, as its limbs have a tendency to fall off when POKENAME is distracted.

I have yet to sprite it

I do feel like the two phrases are too disconnected though :(

POKENAME manipulates its electromagnetic field to launch or retract its legs at high speeds. When it gets tired, this ability tends to backfire, resulting in lost limbs.

[willow venture]

POKENAME manipulates its electromagnetic field to launch or retract its legs at high speeds. Its legs tend to fall off when its tired, though.

Maybe like that?

[summer saffron]

Hmm that doesn’t really flow
maybe

POKENAME manipulates its electromagnetic field to launch or retract its legs at high speeds. When it gets tired, this ability tends to malfunction, resulting in misplaced limbs.

[willow venture]

Maybe that first sentence shouldn't start like that anyway

ooooh how about

POKENAME's ability to manipulate its electromagnetic field to launch or retract its legs at high speeds often malfunctions when its fatigued, resulting in misplaced limbs.

[summer saffron]

the first section feels really wordy, I think I prefer what I have already.

[willow venture]

Yeah it can still work I guess

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Nidoran F
POKENAME is extremely sensitive to smell, with many scent glands located in its mouth, which is always at least partially open. Some chefs use POKENAME to pick out the best quality ingredients.

Ooooo this is so cute

I like this one a lot

[rugged socket]

[frail vine]

Skarmory/Vibrava (227.393)
#1373913382171705398
Protected by an impregnable exoskeleton of steel, POKENAME fears no external threat. The armours sturdiness does however prevent POKENAMEs spiracles from opening or closing, forcing it to breathe exclusively through passive ventilation, dangerously inefficient for an arthropod of its size.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Nidorina
POKENAME is very compassionate and takes in orphaned Pokémon to raise alongside its own offspring. It doesn’t seem to understand that other Pokémon's diets are different to theirs and feeds them all chewed up grass and berries.

[dull folio]

I love this

Maybe change the 1st sentence to POKENAME is very compassionate, taking in orphaned Pokémon to raise alongside its own offspring.

The 2 commas don’t really flow

[rugged socket]

Yeah that sounds better, thanks!:)

[dull ore]

looks good, just a couple of grammar things where [armours] and [POKENAMEs] should be [armour's] and [POKENAME's],
then potentially [which is] before [dangerously inefficient] to help it read a bit better

[frail vine]

Aah, thanks for the feedback
although I thought that the apostrophe + s combo is specifically to denote that a shortening has taken place, as in "he's tired/he is tired" or "it's come to this/it has come to this"?

[dull ore]

it can also be for when something is in possession of something else, e.g. Jack's toy

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Nidoqueen
POKENAME seem to be unable to comprehend that other Pokémon could pose a threat to them. If a predator approaches, POKENAME will try to befriend them rather than fighting or fleeing, which in turn confuses and deters the potential threat.

[frail vine]

I checked, and my original draft was too long :/
Protected by an impregnable exoskeleton of steel, POKENAME fears no external threat. The armour's sturdiness prevents POKENAME's spiracles from opening or closing, forcing it to breathe exclusively through passive ventilation.

[green niche]

If they edit it does it still get accepted

[dull ore]

in the second sentence 'the predator' needs to be introduced earlier, or it might need restructuring

maybe something like 'If a predator approaches, POKENAME will try to befriend them rather than fighting or fleeing, which in turn confuses and deters the potential threat.'

[rugged socket]

I like that, thank you

One should not be fooled by POKENAME's fun and bright colouration, for its temper is anything but. Despite having razor sharp claws, POKENAME prefers to simply spray water at those who annoy it.

[summer saffron]

its temper

not it's

also those two parts seem contradictory? You've said that it isn't fun and bright but angry and tempermental, but then said it is more likely to spray water than attack harmfully

[frail vine]

it's tempremental alright, but not bloodthirsty

one wouldn't expect a grumpy old man yelling for children to get off his lawn to whip out a shotgun

[craggy beacon]

yeah having a temper doesn't mean violent

it just generally means easily agitated

[dull ore]

Can hyphenate razor-sharp

[dull ore]

I think part of why it sounds a little contradictory is cos the first sentence hypes up its temper then the second one seems to downplay it

Might be overanalysing but should sound less contradictory if you take out ‘simply’

• make it ‘pressurised water’ to lean into the temper a bit more

Magnemite/blastoise
In a region close to Paldea, there is a legend of hulking titans that would shepherd giant Mareep not too dissimilar to these Pokémon. These Pokémon are known for shooting ferrofluids out of their giant back cannons at high velocities.

[green niche]

The peculiar POKENAME, known across the globe for its ostentatious nature, people often think it’s a flying saucer due to its main bodies shape and its ability to levitate metal objects with its magnet like appendages.

Magnemite/metang

I’m proud of these two tbh

[rugged socket]

Maybe this?

[rugged socket]

Love this!

[green niche]

Oh yes I love it

I was trying to use a kind of twilight zone tone of speech when making it yk

It kinda back fired tho

😂

[regal cedar]

I must admit I do not know how ceremonial armor is 'layered'. What is it supposed to mean?

[topaz stream]

Like a samurai armor

That's what I was trying to do with the helmet

Kinda

[regal cedar]

I feel like phrasing it as 'POKENAME has a powerful sense of smell. It possesses many scent...'

Would make the first sentence flow better, and give more positive connotations to the first clause.

[green niche]

Oh yeah that sounds good

[regal cedar]

I think outright saying samurai armor would be better, in this case, since ceremonial armor can vary wildly.

[topaz stream]

Yeah probs lol
Idk why but I thought referencing samurai directly would be on the rule line? But that doesn't make much sense lol

[regal cedar]

Don't forget an apostrophe after 'armour' to make it 'armour's'

Should have a comma before and after 'however'.

I love the more scientific take!

[regal cedar]

if it's under the word limit

[green niche]

Yes

I just always forget to use the right comma

[topaz stream]

#sprite-gallery message
This Pokémon bears a broad shield of plated steel on its back, lined with towering, razor-sharp spikes. In battle, POKENAME lowers its iron mask, shining with resolve, then barrels forward to protect those it trusts.

[regal cedar]

Yes, you would hyphenate it to 'razor-sharp'

[regal cedar]

Would like another <@&1210701164426039366> 's opinion on this entry in terms of content.

[regal cedar]

Clauses don't connect up. "The pecular POKENAME people often think it's a fly sauce"...

'ostentatious nature' makes it sound like it's potentially being show-off-y, and not just looking ostentatious. This one needs a lot of work.

[crimson ledge]

The only issue I'm seeing is structural; "not too dissimilar" sounds like it's talking about the Mareep, when presumably it means the titans.

[regal cedar]

I agree.

[hollow nimbus]

The part about the legend of hulking titans isn't quite linked closely enough to the fusion in my opinion. It's very easy to mistake the first part for being about a different Pokémon, especially since the setting for the legend is in a foreign region. Saying that the legend is 'not too dissimilar' further increases the gap between the legend and the fusion.

You can slightly modify it to keep the bulk of the content, though. Regions near Paldea have legends about these Pokémon herding giant Mareep. or something like that.

[green niche]

Yeah you’re right

[hollow nimbus]

I am curious as to why this Magnemite/Blastoise has anything to do with herding sheep, though. It's not incorrect to say, but it feels sort of out of left field.

[green niche]

I knew it felt pretty off

[green niche]

I was basing it off of the cyclopes in greece

Specifically ones from homers stories

[hollow nimbus]

Ah

[green niche]

I see a one eyed creature and I geek out a bit yk

[hollow nimbus]

The cyclopes is a good idea, but I feel like it would be better saved for a non-tortoise fusion.

Especially with the other idea you have going on, the ferrofluid.

[green niche]

Yeah you right

Thank you

[regal cedar]

A chubbier ground, fighting, or electric type?

[hollow nimbus]

Slaking or Machoke or something like that

[green niche]

honestly I thought there would be some kind of cyclops fusion for magnemite and golurk

But no

Kinda surprised

[hollow nimbus]

You can always request a sprite, too

#sprite-requests was semi-recently updated to make it easier for people to use.

[green niche]

Nahhh those spriters are already so busy I’ll just work with what I got

Plus I’m about to go to a class that I can’t have my phone out in

So I’ll figure something out in 40 minutes I guess

[topaz stream]

There's a "requests open" role just for that lol

[green niche]

Fair enough

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Nidoking
POKENAME often don’t know their own strength; when they try to nibble on seagrass, they end up uprooting entire patches, disrupting local ecosystems. Luckily, Wooqueen handles most of the foraging, leaving POKENAME to focus on maintaining their den.

We switching gender roles for this one

[green niche]

Ok how’s this

These pokémon can be found drinking oil and eating metal scraps at abandoned factories. Recently, they’ve been used to clean up polluted waters.

Also this will kind of segway into the next two evolutions

Cause iron fillings and oil make ferrofluid

Also its steel water

So the steel type could be the iron and the “water” could be from the oil

I think I cooked tbh

[rugged socket]

That's smart

[green niche]

THANK YOU❤️

[regal cedar]

Use a semicolon or period after strength.

[hollow nimbus]

The though seems unnecessary. The usually may also be unnecessary. Other than that, change pokemon to Pokémon, and it looks good!

Better?

Froslass/Monferno
Mountaineers often report finding POKENAME meditating on ice-capped summits. They do not take kindly to these interruptions, hurling chunks of ice at the blameless climbers.

Froslass/Chimchar
The flame on its tail strangely burns brighter during blizzards. This property makes POKENAME favoured companions for alpinists tackling the most challenging peaks.

[rugged socket]

Love this!

[hexed fog]

I wanna know 10 pokemon that assist people who are ice fishing in some way

[regal cedar]

Seel, spheals, bear, ice water pokemon

[green niche]

I guess any heat isolated pokemon

I know it’s like bringing a cannon to a cockroach but volcanion

Any fire type could help make a warm spot for fish to be attracted to

Arctovish is able to swim underwater in very cold temps

Cloister is water ice so I’d imagine it’s able to handle some cold

Lapras too

Walrein is a good candidate

It’s not fire but I think it can learn scald so it can at least warm the water a little

Sorry I tend to yap a lot

[regal cedar]

ur good!

[hollow tapir]

I mean you were asked a question that requires a yapper response

[green niche]

Fair enough

Maybe instead of this I shoulda been working on my creative writing😂

[hexed fog]

No i mean specifically for people to make entries on

@lapis cosmos succumbs to my decrees

[green niche]

I could crack a shot at it

If you don’t mind

I’m almost done with the one I’m working on

[regal cedar]

oh i know

[green niche]

This Pokèmon uses its black viscous sweat to slide around all surfaces, including water. This liquid happens to be a mixture of oil and metal shavings making it extremely magnetic and reactive to any kind of metallic object.

How does this look

Also is the ice fishing in a big body of water or small

[twin vapor]

Lanturn to attract fish assuming they could handle the cold, seel and dewgong to break ice and hunt fish, delibird to help haul your catch, and eiscue as a fishing partner.

[hexed fog]

I know that those base pokemon can lol I meant this for dex prompts for yall, like I did with the '10 pokemon that go well in salads'

you should see it in the responses tab if it was done correctly

use ctrl+f to look for it

[limber mango]

Responses tab?

[limber mango]

Is that on the google form?

[hexed fog]

theres two docs, one where you submit and one where you can see the responses

be sure to read the FAQ to avoid confusion

[limber mango]

Looks like it did make it in, though it's not showing in my version of the game oddly.

I'm on 6.5.1

[hexed fog]

it is not instant

they typically get grabbed once every 1-2 months

[limber mango]

I figured, my confusion was that I put it in a good while back

[hexed fog]

how far back?

[limber mango]

Mid February.

[hexed fog]

hmm

[limber mango]

Yeah on the Spreadsheet it says it's approved

[hexed fog]

I'll reach out to frog to make sure hes updating these

[limber mango]

Could be just something on my end, half the time I'm stumbling through the installation system lol

[hexed fog]

I'll ask to be sure

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah, had other things going on yesterday, then today was work and looking over feedback on DexDoku. I've got some mining/quarry/construction helpers I'm drafting. Then I can get to the ice fishing (I am a Midwesterner so I must complete those ones).

Intensely meticulous about its grooming habits, there is not a single strand of hair on POKENAME's body that hasn't been properly trimmed. A headbutt from POKENAME reportedly feels like being hit by a soft pillow.

Steelix/Rotom (208.358)
#1372085382807683157
Having possessed an electronic scale, POKENAME spends its days weighing any and everything that it lays its eyes upon. Unfortunately for its machinery POKENAME sometimes decides to try weighing itself.

Unable to dislodge its abdomen from the egg from which it came, POKENAME is unable to spin webs. POKENAME desperately wishes it was capably of scratching its itchy behind.

[rugged socket]

Capable instead of capably, but cool idea

[rugged socket]

How does this guy trim himself?

[frail vine]

with great difficulty

[rugged socket]

Maybe use preened instead?

Or put in that it uses its teeth or smn to trim itself

Just sounds like it gets out a pair of scissors haha

[rigid fulcrum]

or maybe it automatically trims itself

Like shedding its fur but more controlled

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Clefairy - not sure the second sentence flows quite right, anyone got any ideas?
Some say that if you spot a POKENAME playing in a waterfall under a full moon, you should propose to the one you love. Many lonely people visit waterfalls hoping to fulfil the legend and sometimes end up finding love with another lonely soul there.

I didn’t

I want to do this one's entry (it's the fusion of my two favorite mons), how do I proceed?

[ebon warren]

Check the pins for all the steps

[willow venture]

If you'd like you can write the dex entry here as well if you wanted to make sure what you write is up to par in standards

[willow venture]

I haven't posted these ones yet btw are these good to go y'all any thoughts

[timber wasp]

Okay, here's what I got for now
(Just a reminder this is my first time doing this, and I'm a native French speaker so it might not be perfect)

Once an emperor of unmatched power, POKENAME carried its rule into the afterlife. Death crowned it anew, its ghostly form now wreathed in otherworldly flames, returning to reclaim a throne that rightfully belongs to it.

[willow venture]

Me personally I really dig it but some of the sentences there are a little too flavorful imo

Lemme see if I can take a crack at this while also giving it a more science-y bent (as this is a Pokedex entry after all)

Once an reigning Pokèmon of its territory, POKENAME carried its power and desire into death. Its ghostly form now wreathed in eternal, otherworldly-like flames, POKENAME's temper and aggression is notably high when compared to other Pokèmon.

Sometimes seen skipping over the sea, POKENAME migrate with the tides, their journey guided by the gentle pull of the moon. As they travel, they leave shimmering footprints on the water’s surface that are briefly reflected, before vanishing.

Wooper/Ninetales

The tails of POKENAME harbour heat‑loving microbes in a remarkable symbiosis. Fuelled by the Pokémon’s body heat, these microbes split water molecules and release a steady stream of oxygen, letting POKENAME breathe effortlessly underwater.

Hi everyone! Today's unofficial keyword is 'differences'. How does one species or even among its own species can a Pokémon Fusion differ?
Please write as many entries as you want.

[sour panther]

Hello! I just saw the announcement for the pokedex entries and I only now came up for one for an old sprite I made (353.286, Drifblim/Kirlia) and thought about asking for feedback here.

[sour panther]

Great timing! Maybe this one fits somehow with the theme!

[sour panther]

"It shows up in playgrounds to play with children, but when adults show up it disappears. Sometimes, so do some children..."

[regal cedar]

This is one of those moments where I know what it means but it is kind of awkwardly and poetically put . I don't think there's anything incorrect technically though

[regal cedar]

Seems good to me

[regal cedar]

First clause of second sentence is too casual.

[regal cedar]

Fuelled should be fueled. This might need some additional work, something rings off but I just got done with a workout so my brain is like the What Earthbound meme.

I'll ask another Unown to take a look.

[green niche]

Isn’t casual relative

[regal cedar]

yes

[green niche]

Sorry that was rude

I don’t want it to seem like I’m being rude

[green niche]

Wouldn’t that mean it’s in the eye of the beholder

[regal cedar]

Not in this case. We try to make sure Dex entries have a professional tone, typically.

[green niche]

Fair enough

I already sent it in so I guess delete that one and I’ll fix it

[regal cedar]

Yeah, sending in a new one might be the best this time.

[green niche]

The lethal POKENAME is a natural predator in cold water environments, using its steel-like teeth to inject a venom that causes hypothermia. Don’t let its hefty size trick you, it’s an amazing swimmer being able to swim upwards of 47 mph in the cold.

Better?

[midnight siren]

it looks like the first clause of sentence 2 is still too casual imo: suggestion for a fix would be something like "Despite the size of POKENAME, it's it’s an amazing swimmer being able to swim upwards of 47 mph in the cold."

ofc i'm not an unown, so take it with a grain of salt

[green niche]

[dull folio]

POKENAME travels to areas where water is heavily polluted and absorbs any toxins into its giant flower. The lake is left completely purified, and water based-plants seem to miraculously flourish.

[hollow nimbus]

water based should be hyphenated to water-based since it's two words functioning as one adjective, but looks good otherwise

[regal cedar]

I'll ask for your input, @hollow nimbus

[hollow nimbus]

I'll take a look at it

[hollow nimbus]

Fuelled is fine. I can see that you are using the non-US spelling, as seen in 'harbour', so fuelled is correct, even if my auto-spelling-check doesn't like it (my spell check has been wrong before)
Other than that, I don't see any problems?

[lapis cosmos]

Greetings yall. I'm Foreman Peri, and @hexed fog wanted a tour of the work zones I manage in mines and quarries and then challenge for The Pit Badge. Our workers help battle, so meet the Pokémon you may be facing!
(if any of these entries recently got added as I made this list two days ago, no worries, mine don't need to be used, so just shout)
(I also take revision feedback!)

**Natu/Machop (Nachop) #177.66 **
POKENAME constantly works to improve its mind and body, helping humans to train. Miners enjoy working with it due to its enthusiasm, and because its foresight leads it to start an evacuation if it foresees disaster.

Nosepass/Geodude (Nosedude) #325.74
POKENAME’s nose directs it toward veins of magnetic minerals, which it consumes. Miners train it to lead their excavators to these veins and reward it with chunks of the mineral.

Sandslash/Sableye (Sandeye) #28.421 (sprite by nimstratus)
POKENAME’s claws can dig through solid rock as it searches for its diet of gemstones. Miners who specialize in gems keep a POKENAME to aid their hunt and reward it with large imperfect gemstone for it to feast on.

Pumpkaboo/Rockruff (Pumpruff) #489.463 (sprite by woofa)
POKENAME is made of phosphorescent plants and stones, which can glow for up to four hours after sun exposure. This loyal Pokémon is a preferred partner for cave explorers and miners as a non-igniting light source should they encounter gasses.

Shuckle/Carbink (Shubink) #213.478 (sprite by creamy_art)
POKENAME clings to cave and tunnel walls, feeding on molds and fungi by collecting them with its slimy appendages. It is popular with gem collectors since it eats a stone clean of debris, then spits the polished gem onto the ground.

Nidorino/Rhyhorn (Nidohorn) #33.111 (sprite by murp4269)
POKENAME is territorial, charging with the force of a freight train and smashing obstacles in its path. It is used in quarries to shatter boulders, but its stubborn nature makes it unreliable.

Jumpluff/Chinchou (Jumpchou) #189.170 (sprite by funkytomate)
POKENAME is nocturnal and light enough to be carried by even a light wind, so people used to mistake its glowing seed puffs for UFOs. Miners use it as a safe light underground, and its seeds can be scattered to light up a large cavern.

**Magnezone/Dugtrio (Magnetrio) #263.51 (sprite by fauxblue)
POKENAME searches for highly magnetic mineral deposits, then blasts tunnels with Sonic Boom to uncover its subterranean meal. Quarries use its skills to efficiently bore to their goal.

Magnemite/Trubish (Magnebish) #81.434 (sprite by mr.person__prinplup_enjoyer)
POKENAME is a common sight in metropolitan centers, where it scrounges in trash for electronics to consume. It is also a well-liked inhabitant of construction sites and work zones since it will scour the ground for metal debris.

[regal cedar]

Did not know this, didn't say it when I lookws it up.

[lapis cosmos]

Magneton/Yanmega (Magnemega) #82.270 (sprite by gren24242)
POKENAME inhabit urban areas where they are attracted to lofty energy sources they can feed on without being disturbed. They are utilized in work sites as rapid transportation by magnetizing heavy objects to their underside and flying between levels.

Now on to the ice fishing crew...

[frail vine]

I don't know if it's wrong, but I've never heard the term "work zones"
Isn't it usually "work places"?

or work sites/construction sites for that matter

[sour panther]

I have sent an entry before putting it here for feedback and I didn't bother to save the text

I am irrevocably, painfully stupid

It was for another one of my old sprites

[lapis cosmos]

I hear “work zone” most with like road work, which to be fair, isn’t quite what I’m going for as I’m aiming to imply both building construction and quarries (both requiring verticality)

[frail vine]

yeah, in that case I think "work sites" would work best for what you're going for

[sour panther]

261.295.

Mantomb

It was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they took of a wild Mantine: a POKENAME became visible, trying to nurse on her.

This was not the exact text I sent and I'm afraid the original had a weasel word in it

I think it was "some tourists" instead of "a tourist"

[sour panther]

If this is fine, should I resend the form at this point?

[lapis cosmos]

Love the concept!
Is there a second line to describe info now that it has been discovered?

[sour panther]

Not really. I wanted to end it there as a "downer" entry

[lapis cosmos]

Makes sense!

[hollow nimbus]

What do you mean by 'trying to nurse on her'?

Also, I should tell you that pronouns (such as 'it' or 'they') cannot be used without first establishing the subject

[regal cedar]

I think the first sentence miiight want to be, "and helps humans do the same" or something.

[sour panther]

I don't remember if I wrote "nurse on" or "nurse with"

Probably "nurse with"

[hollow nimbus]

It was first discovered would be better as POKENAME was first discovered to make it very clear that the sentence is about the fusion

[hollow nimbus]

Okay, so what does 'nurse with her' mean?

You're not suggesting that it's, uh, looking for milk, are you?

[sour panther]

Look, I know it's a fish but I couldn't find a better way to imply the Mantine lost the child

[hollow nimbus]

There was a child?

[sour panther]

Yes, it's looking for milk

The pokemon is dead, Jim

[lapis cosmos]

"training by helping humans"?
The idea is that it learns by working with them.

[hollow nimbus]

I don't really think it's appropriate to imply that a fusion is searching for a woman's breasts

[sour panther]

The pokemon

is looking

for the Mantine's milk

[hollow nimbus]

The pokemon being the fusion, right?

[sour panther]

Yes

[regal cedar]

I think the first sentence is enhanced if it says 'which it then consumes', but it's not incorrect and if you aren't feeling it, it's fine

Miners train it to lead their excavators? Would it not lead the miners? I guess it is seperate, but just 'them' could work too, but, again, I think that might be one of those 'if you want' things

[hollow nimbus]

So, what is 'the mantine'? There was no mantine mentioned in the entry

Oh, but there was a photo of a mantine?

[sour panther]

Dude did we read the same entry?

[hollow nimbus]

I am just having a hard time understanding what you mean to communicate

[sour panther]

Holy shit

Let's break it down

[lapis cosmos]

I think the idea is clarity is really important as people read it very quickly.

[hollow nimbus]

It was first discovered
I am assuming it is the fusion
after a tourist developed a photo they took of a wild Mantine:
A human took a picture of a Mantine
a POKENAME became visible,
The fusion suddenly appeared
trying to nurse on her.
Trying to get milk from the human

?

I think the a POKENAME became visible is what is confusing me most currently

[lapis cosmos]

"POKENAME was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they took of a wild Mantine. A POKENAME became visible on the film (or on the screen), trying to nurse from the Mantine."

[sour panther]

It was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they [THE TOURIST, GENDER NOT SPECIFIED] took of a wild Mantine [HERE IT IS MENTIONED]: a POKENAME became visible [IN THE PHOTO], trying to nurse with her. [CORRECTED]

You know what, the "it" part makes sense

Let's replace it with POKENAME

[hollow nimbus]

So, the Mantine was really a Mantine fusion?

[stuck shoal]

before I forget, is this good to go? I want to test the dex entry scrapping thing with my gallery post

[sour panther]

POKENAME was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they [THE TOURIST, GENDER NOT SPECIFIED] took of a wild Mantine [HERE IT IS MENTIONED]: a POKENAME became visible [IN THE PHOTO], trying to nurse with her. [CORRECTED]

[sour panther]

No, it was a regular Mantine

[hollow nimbus]

So where in the picture was the fusion?

The background?

[sour panther]

Good observation, putting "in the background" makes it clearer

[regal cedar]

Could you post a version of the entry as it is now after some updates?

[lapis cosmos]

Combined this: "POKENAME’s nose directs it toward veins of magnetic minerals, which it then excavates and consumes. Miners train it to lead them to these veins and reward it with chunks of the mineral."

[sour panther]

261.295

Mantomb

"POKENAME was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they took of a wild Mantine: a POKENAME became visible in the background, trying to nurse with her."

Ok now it's way better

Thanks

[hollow nimbus]

Another clarifying question: I was assuming that her means the tourist because Pokémon are always referred to as 'it' or 'they'
Were you actually trying to refer to the Mantine?

[sour panther]

Yes, implying it was a mother.

[hollow nimbus]

Her doesn't really imply motherhood

You should still refer to Pokémon as it or they
If you were to submit that entry as is, our filters would flag it

[regal cedar]

The main part I'm not so hot on is the her, for the reasons RealThree stated, but also the nurse thing.

Like, we're trying to say the picture has them trying to...uh, get breastmilk or something? I don't think rays, fish, or Mantine nurse like that.

I'm not sure what nurse means otherwise.

[sour panther]

True, that's not how fish work

[hollow nimbus]

If I am inferring correctly, you are looking for a way to imply that the fusion is the ghost of a Mantine's offspring?

[sour panther]

Yes

[lapis cosmos]

Could feed/nurse not just become like "cuddle" or "get attention"?

[stuck shoal]

could be "attempting to get affection" (in my defense i was typing that while you were typing)

[hollow nimbus]

Okay, you need to come up with a way to state that more clearly

Most people are DENSE and do not understand subtlety

[sour panther]

"Get attention" is way sadder and would solve the feeding thing. I love it.

[regal cedar]

Good suggestion!

"POKENAME was first discovered after a tourist developed a photo they took of a wild Mantine: a POKENAME became visible in the background, trying to get the Mantine's attention."

Is "Mantine" repeated one too many times?

I'm serious. I hate repetitions, but if it needs to be clearer ok

[hollow nimbus]

If you capitalize the a at the start of the second sentence, it should be good
Though I am worried that your original intention isn't coming through

[hollow nimbus]

It's really fine

[lapis cosmos]

Repetitions for clarity are good to have.

[sour panther]

We could try "cuddling"

[regal cedar]

Let's see. I'll try being a random person.

This pokemon first appeared in a photograph where Mantine was the intended subject. When the photograph developed, POKENAME appeared, and it was trying to get Mantine's attention.

Works for me.

At most, maybe make the last clause a sentence? "POKENAME was trying to get the Mantine's attention."

"POKENAME have a very weak magnetic field, leading their movements to be erratic and occasional loss of segments. Trainers are advised to socialize their POKENAME with other Magnemite fusions for external support."

is this too heavy? idk

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, like I said, the entry is fine
It's just that your subplot of the fusion being a deceased juvenile is completely lost

[hollow nimbus]

and occasional loss of segments
What does that mean?

[regal cedar]

Yeah, another phrase might be better if you want to push that, but I get the intent, even if it's not obvious
@argon

[stuck shoal]

I think the second sentence is a bit janky in phrasing but I think it works well to get the point across

[sour panther]

It needs more time in the oven

I'll come back to it tomorrow

[stuck shoal]

the screws aren't properly connected to the body and the head is seperate from the torso (also the eye can be removed, which minun has an alt for), they just float aimlessly ig

[regal cedar]

Perhaps...

"POKENAME was looking affectionately to the Mantine"?

It leaves it vague on the relationship, but definitetly a closer one

[hollow nimbus]

I think part of my confusion is about how its phrased. If we remove the unrelated info, we get: leading their movements to occasional loss of segments or POKENAME have a very weak magnetic field, occasional loss of segments..

I guess what I'm asking is
Does the fusion occasionally lose segments?
or
Is the fusion afflicted with the occasional loss of segments?

[stuck shoal]

It occasionally loses segments

[hollow nimbus]

Okay, so make sure that you write that part as a verb

[regal cedar]

What defines a 'segment' is unclear.

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, that's the next part

[stuck shoal]

yeaah i was worried it would be hard to understand

[hollow nimbus]

Like, I understand what you explained to me, but most people won't get that explanation

[hollow nimbus]

You can just say parts of its body

unless those aren't body parts

Then the screws it has collected or something like that

[stuck shoal]

I think I'll cut out the second part since it makes more sense to discuss it in the minun dex entry

[craggy beacon]

here's your daily reminder to be nice to the unowns

(not at you ohok, but a previous thing)

[stuck shoal]

"POKENAME have a very weak magnetic field, leading to erratic movement when floating or battling. Trainers are advised to socialize their POKENAME with other Magnemite fusions for external support."

[stuck shoal]

did somebody bite an unown

[craggy beacon]

an interaction earlier made me raise an eyebrow, it was a bit rule17ish

i'm not gonna refer to it to avoid stirring shit

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, yeah, we move on

[craggy beacon]

just know I'm Watching .,....

[hollow nimbus]

This looks good!

Always watching wazowski

"Due to their weak magnetic field, POKENAME occasionally lose screws, magnets, and even their eye when out in the wild. They are quick to find replacements of any kind."

"To some Trainers' dismay, POKENAME occasionally lack an eye upon fusion. In such cases, finding a POKENAME or Magnesle to bond with is key for their health."

[hollow nimbus]

They find eyes in the wild?
Like, severed eyeballs?

Oh, wait

My brain did that thing again where it takes a word from the second line and sticks it in the first

[stuck shoal]

yeah (although it's because they share them with others of their species because they're little weirdos)

[hollow nimbus]

I would clarify that as other POKENAME's eyes, then

Otherwise, it gives the mental picture of finding random eyeballs strewn over the ground in wild settings

Oh, again, I am working off of my old assumption

[stuck shoal]

that is the picture I want to give /j but I do mean they actually lose their eyes in the wild

[hollow nimbus]

They lose eyes in the wild

I keep reading it as finding eyes

[stuck shoal]

ooooh

[hollow nimbus]

trainer's should be changed to Trainers' to adhere to capitalization standards and to show that Trainer in this case is plural

[stuck shoal]

im
kinda confused about what i should change

[hollow nimbus]

Since the fusion only has one eye, I would change eyes to their eye

[hollow nimbus]

yeah, ignore that

Like I said, I was still working off of the wrong assumption

[hollow nimbus]

This one is my suggestion

[stuck shoal]

im unsure since it reads more like a singular entity than a species

[hollow nimbus]

Hm
I think it looks fine now

[stuck shoal]

I think I'll ask somebody to read it over later

also
is this too morbid???

[hollow nimbus]

Well, the eye isn't a flesh eye, right?

It's like a ball bearing or smth

[stuck shoal]

nope, they're magnemite fusions so they're little... robot..... things?

[hollow nimbus]

You're not talking about severing nerves or arteries, so it should be fine

[stuck shoal]

also this dex entry implies that setting these guys out into the wild is a terrible idea because they can't survive out there

which probably should be common for fusions because they are functionally new, invasive species that either are unstable or have new traits that the wild pokemon there haven't learned to deal with

[hollow nimbus]

That's fine
Silph C didn't really realize the full ramifications of releasing fusion tech to the public when they did that

[hollow nimbus]

Not necessarily!

Little-known fact, but the lore for PIF is that fusions have always existed in the wild, though they were extremely rare. Fusion technology being released to the public and being leaked into the wild makes fusions even more rare.

Not all fusion species will have always existed, though

I MEAN EVEN MORE COMMON

Not even more rare

I am going to leave now

I think it is a good idea for me to leave now

[stuck shoal]

yeah but it's a LOT of fusions being set out into the wild, functionally like bred animals being sent out into the wild or invasive animals going to new places

cya!

[ebon warren]

Are you ok? Do you need a nap?

[hollow nimbus]

I am okay, but it is late, and I have spent all day spriting

Good night

#1374143654712840303 message how is this:
With both its fierce claws and a proboscis mouth, POKENAME hunts with indomitable technique. Its vibrant colors allow prey to scurry away before it can strike, however.

[twilit pendant]

is there like a bot or something that gives you a fusion that doesnt have an entry yet? i cant find one that isnt taken

[rugged socket]

If you go on the google sheet on the dex-entries-submissions channel, there's a page called Dex Grid that shows all the missing entries

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Jigglypuff

Despite its cute looks, POKENAME is feared at sea. Its beautiful song carries for a mile; inexplicably luring listeners to jump overboard. Once in the water, the music envelopes them, and they fall asleep, unable to stop themselves drowning.

[twilit pendant]

okay thx

Charmander/Magmortar

This Pokémons tail burns with a hot fire. It uses it to throw boulders made of magma that can melt thru the roof of a car.

[regal cedar]

Through.

Also, how does the tail help it throw hot boulders? Is it warming the boulders up?

[regal cedar]

Needs more info.

[twilit pendant]

Like this

[regal cedar]

I don't see that working with this Pokémon's body.

[twilit pendant]

ill edit it ig

Charmander/Magmortar

This Pokémon's tail burns with a hot fire, which it uses to create boulders made of magma. When thrown, the boulders can melt through the roof of a car.

@regal cedar I fixed it

[shut warren]

like what?

[rugged socket]

Add a second sentence, maybe saying why only its mother loved it, what happens if it's seen out of the skull, why its mother died. Whatever you think would be interesting and expands the lore

[shut warren]

It hides away in its mother's skull, hoping not to be noticed by the world that was so cruel to it. Its one comfort in life is being cradled forever by the only thing that ever loved it.

[shrewd barn]

Forgot to mention, I updated its dex entry on the form:
Mixing the acoustic power of two Exploud allows this Pokémon to reach ear-splitting decibels, emitting sound waves that cause supersonic calamities in its wake. Aside from its destructiveness, the noises POKENAME produces are surprisingly melodious.

[tidal sand]

My first attempt at a dex entry, would love pointers and/or feedback! gengar/golem (genlem, 94.76)
Pranksters by nature, POKENAME uses its ethereal mass to confuse and annoy. If you suddenly feel a great weight on your shoulders, a POKENAME may be hiding in your shadow, feeding on your confusion and distress.

[rugged socket]

<@&1210701164426039366> Can I reference cruel farming methods?

[crimson ledge]

I don't think there's an issue with that content in itself, just be careful to be tonally appropriate and not too graphic.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Wigglytuff

The tuft of fur on POKENAME’s head and tail is so incredibly soft that royalty once used it to stuff pillows. Sadly, illegal farms have begun breeding POKENAME solely for their fur, harvesting it and discarding the Pokémon.

[hexed fog]

Remember, being edgelord in your dex entries doesn't give you a one way ticket to cool town

[narrow cosmos]

Lies! We have to edgelord like its 2001!

Me realizing there's people in here who probably weren't around then.

[small nest]

In Infinite Fusion lore, Cubones don't actually all have dead mothers

[shut warren]

what the fuck why

[rugged socket]

Where can we access this info for other Pokemon?

[midnight siren]

theres only a few of these made

iirc there’s Mewtwo, Spiritomb, Paras/Parasect and a couple more

they’re made for the dex comps

[shut warren]

so what i picked the one pokemon y'all decided doesn't follow its core concept?

[regal cedar]

First off, please be on relatively appropriate behavior

[shut warren]

sorry, didn't sleep well

[regal cedar]

Second, yes. The problem with it and fusions is that the lore of EVERY SINGLE CUBONE losing its mother gets even weirder when fusing is introduced. It was one of those tough calls we had to make. This is for Fusion entries, after all

I'm sorry that Cubone/Meloetta did not lose its mom

There were a few entries that may have gotten grandfathered in, I believe, but this is the standard.

[midnight siren]

the other ones

[shut warren]

so am i not allowed to refer to a dead mum?

[midnight siren]

not for cubone, no

[regal cedar]

Yeah, unfortunately

Keep in mind fusions can also evolve, reverse, etc. so the whole thing just gets wonky.

[timid sky]

But having a dead mother is Cubone’s entire identity

[midnight siren]

not in PIF dex wise

[regal cedar]

I don't entirely disagree that it's Cubone's core concept.

I would focus on the concept of it being lonely or feeling alone, especially if it's not near the mom, etc., but, yeah, no explicitly fridged moms

[midnight siren]

there are some good examples on the results tab in the big google sheet page, just look for the A tier entries from the comp

[regal cedar]

Note the Marowak entry even mentions it often matures through suffering, so that's another potential angle (although it'd need to be reasonably applicable species-wide)

[shut warren]

man this is equally a "problem" in the real games, why do we feel the need to fix i here

[midnight siren]

[regal cedar]

I get the frustration, but for something like this, setting guidelines earlier is better so nothing gets too out of control. It also means a more established canon outside the dex if Frog wanted to really go into that stuff!

If you're struggling to write for Cubone/Marowak, let us know. It's what we're here for!

[lapis cosmos]

It also keeps every cubone/marital dex from being the same.

[midnight siren]

it can be annoying, but it does allow for different ideas made from the fusions which is cool!

[lapis cosmos]

I had to recently rework a Marowak DexDoku entry bc of this rule. Waiting on feedback for it

[lapis cosmos]

Thanks for these. Def Paras line tripped me up when I first started writing entries.

[midnight siren]

yeah, pokepages are really useful

shame we don’t have more, but they are a lot of work to make so I understand

[lapis cosmos]

Is there a spot where they are posted? I’d be down to help put the together if the basic elements are mentioned.

[stuck shoal]

tbh I'm worried that specific pages on certain mons would lead to limits (I like to refer to legendaries and mythicals as singular)

[midnight siren]

these were made for the last two dex comps by RealThree iirc

[midnight siren]

maybe

I just prefer rough guidelines for how ‘mons act to help with my creative process lol

[stuck shoal]

I like using dex info for little traits and quirks that are not visible in the designs

I'm not a huge fan of dex entries that claim deep lore that aren't implied to just be mythology or rumor

[small nest]

I'll be honest, I personally find the canon Cubone entries pretty distasteful. They've had like eight generations to branch out from the original "dead mom so sad" concept and just never did.

And it's not really a good or interesting concept. It doesn't even make much sense.

[elfin sonnet]

What happened to where you had to make it a rule to not mention China in a dex entry?????????

[midnight siren]

iirc one of the parasect entries mentions china

china is not real in the pokemon world

[stuck shoal]

canon dex entries are weird

[midnight siren]

fr

[regal cedar]

I would like it if we had a pin to a message that links the pokepages if we don't have one and I didn't just miss it!

[midnight siren]

it would be good, i had search through #event-announcements to find them

[regal cedar]

yeah ill <@&306953740651462656>.

[sinful patrol]

?

[stuck shoal]

?

[midnight siren]

i think they want the pokepages pinned

[ebon warren]

I don't even know what this is referencing

[coarse copper]

How to install infinite fusion in smartphone

[clear hollow]

maybe it's more reasonable for you guys to have a drive to store these pics on and pin that instead of each individual pic?

in case more gonna come in the future, just so the more general pins don't get flooded

[midnight siren]

the pages of dex info made for the dex entry contests

[midnight siren]

probably

[regal cedar]

talking these as well as the others (marowak/cubone)

[lapis cosmos]

Go to the Help and tech support channel

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah, I've screenshot these 4 now bc not having them easy to find (like in the FAQs or such) makes it really easy to just want to match base dex entries.

[shrewd barn]

Let's remember that Raichu can make an Indian elephant faint. Specifically an Indian one.

[alpine vector]

"What's an India?"

"What type is it?"

[willow venture]

Nowadays it'd probably say Copperajah lol

[hexed fog]

These entries were very much retconned lol

Thank god

[willow venture]

See exactly

[candid musk]

is there a custom entry for raichu and raichu i couldn't figure out if there was one

[narrow cosmos]

Oh yeah, that first one is mine I believe. Thanks to the sprite I had to make a pseudo-reference to the beta stuff. I so dearly wanted to call it Gorochu even though I knew I couldn't.

Dex: ’POKENAME seem to have delicious bodies yet they taste very different. They inhabit the saltiest seas and thus their fur is very detestable. However if there is a Trainer that POKENAME prefers, they will use their psychic power to alter the taste.’

[summer saffron]

I know it’s already posted but may I suggest rephrasing it to
“Despite living in the saltiest seas, POKENAME have a deceptively sweet appearance. If a POKENAME likes a Trainer, it will use its psychic powers to alter its taste.”

it’s a bit less wordy and more concise

or if you want something closer to what you wrote,
“POKENAME appear deliciously sweet, however they get a disgustingly salty taste from the ocean. However, if they like a Trainer, POKENAME will often change its taste to suit them.”
