313.499, Minior/Trade:

POKENAME floats several ghostly wisps around itself for self defence. Upon contact with one of these wisps, the soul of the aggressor is shown the edge of the universe.

[hollow tapir]

Goddamn, no mercy lmfao

[midnight siren]

453.133, EeveeLine/Attract:

POKENAME is often kept as a ship's pet on long voyages. It has an eerie ability for predicting the weather, dancing excitedly when a deadly storm is approaching.

(note: Dhelmise gets attract in gen 7 only)

167.183, MarillLine/Attract:

The tail of POKENAME is made of incredibly soft silk. This tail sheds every 3 months, with discarded tails being sought after by tailors across the world.

499.131, Minior/Attract:

The lights on the shell of POKENAME change colours based on which note POKENAME is currently singing. Its voice is so melodious that tour groups frequent POKENAMEs environment during mating season to hear their cries.

dex dump done

[hollow tapir]

Yippee!

I’m jealous of how good yours are

[midnight siren]

i think its a difference in approach more than anything

[midnight siren]

thank you!

[hollow tapir]

How so?

[midnight siren]

i always struggle with the wording lol

[hollow tapir]

Ah

https://infinitefusiondex.com/details/339.496

Look at how friend shaped this one is

[midnight siren]

idk, just from what i've seen i often go for larger worldbuildy aspects, whereas you are much more faithful to what the fusion looks like it should do

neither is better or worse than the other, just very different styles

[dull folio]

I’d personally say cafe owners here

[hollow tapir]

POKENAME is obsessed with fashion, wanting to make accessories for everyone it values. Those it is particularly fond of get ribbons or a top hat similar to its own.
Dexdoku

[midnight siren]

wait it's meant to be capitalised

cause its a trainer class

[dull folio]

I love yarg pirate eevee

[hollow tapir]

Lmfao

[midnight siren]

the weird sweet people in gen 8

[hollow tapir]

When eevee dances everyone panics

I JUST READ THE TRADE ONE

NO WONDER IT LOOKS SO SAD/NERVOUS

Maybe sylbre can make it a new hat

[dull folio]

Also make sure you post these in the dexdoku thread to make sure their added to the submissions you can edit them dw

[midnight siren]

my other idea was them summoning/avoiding ghost ships

[dull folio]

No its irreplaceable

[midnight siren]

true

[hollow tapir]

Thread? Is there one?

[midnight siren]

i forgor

[midnight siren]

#1210021946105004052

[hollow tapir]

this is only my second one I haven’t heard of that

[dull folio]

Yeah check in the recurring event tab

[hollow tapir]

Fuck I need to add it there-

[dull folio]

This was my first one

[hollow tapir]

Mine are the worst to find since the pics are usually forwarded from gallery

[dull folio]

Yeah just dump them there like I did

[hollow tapir]

I’ll do it later my phones almost dead

[midnight siren]

i dont think you need to if wildheart has seen it, i forgot my 2nd time

[hollow tapir]

Just need a reminder

[dull folio]

I copy and paste them from the infinite dex

[hollow tapir]

Like if I try to look up the name it usually doesn’t work much

[dull folio]

Yeah you’ve got until Wednesday ur good

[hollow tapir]

Or if I do like links or whatever

[midnight siren]

same

[hollow tapir]

I just hope most of mine don’t have too many fixes needed

[midnight siren]

i'm sure they will be fine

[dull folio]

I’ve read over all of yours and given you some feedback, love your entries bro

[midnight siren]

thank you

i thought a few of these were really phoned in lol

[dull folio]

No I enjoyed them all you’ve got a good shot winning I think

[jagged ledge]

I mean if you guys want to make sure I see your posts, you can post them with the word 'Dexdoku'

[jagged ledge]

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of mine are done hours before the next event with only one or two drafts

[midnight siren]

oh yeah, that would make sense

[jagged ledge]

I'm just glad people are interested in this event.

I'll be sure to check in through the week to make sure everyone's happy with their revisions!

[hollow tapir]

I appreciate you believing in me

[hollow tapir]

Should I go add that then? lol

[jagged ledge]

I mean... it would help me search them easier

[hollow tapir]

Fair fair

It’s hard for me to search my own entries sometimes given it’s usually the forwarded messages from the gallery so doing the names doesn’t always work

I also did a few extras not related to the event (sylveon, the icon)

[lapis cosmos]

You could always repost them, especially if you've made significant edits

[jagged ledge]

👍 We're always happy to help catalog and organize where we can, but any help you guys can provide is appreciated

[hollow tapir]

Okay I’ve done like

Dexdoku around/on the entries

Also wildheart I even managed to find a cool sylveon mimi fusion to write about!!

I wrote like. 3 sylveon ones? Could’ve done more if my phone wasn’t dying before

Not too many everything considered but. I can write a lot if inspo hits

I FORGOT ABOUT MY SWEET CHILD GIBLE HOW COULD I

One of the gible sharpedo looks so smug it’s so dumb and stupid /aff

Bruxish gible is a nightmare tho

[hollow tapir]

POKENAME is very curious, always amazed by its surroundings. It loves walking around and investigating every little thing.

POKENAME loves to explore, having kept that hobby from when it was younger. Now that it is older, POKENAME is better able to traverse its surroundings and interact with the world.

POKENAME is mean spirited and ought to be avoided. It takes joy in pranking people, especially if it hurts them.

YALL I NEED HELP I found the cutest sprite but I can’t think of what to write

[half drum]

i always really like mimic based creatures so this entry is a fun read to look at!

[minor mantle]

Saw one of my favorite pokemon in my team (dugking) didn't have a entry so I tried to make my own thoughts
Dugking:
The three heads on Dugking have completely different personalities, the left being the voice of reason so this pokemon will not do anything rash, the right is the voice of fury being more battle hungry, and the middle being a mix of both trying to consider both sides when in battle. These three heads work in perfect unity to be a force not to be reckoned with.

Im dyslexic so there may be typos

[round cave]

Dugking should be "POKENAME"

[hollow locust]

Dragonite/Kommo-o
Dragon/Fighting type

Although it can't to fly, the scales on POKENAME are tough enough to repel harsh conditions in water and work like paddles, allowing the Pokémon to swim to islands with ease. The sound produced by the rubbing scales can lull young Dratimo-o to sleep.

[clear hollow]

There are some rules pinned in this channel and described in #dex-entries-submissions The entry shouldn't be longer than 250 symbols, the word Pokémon should start with the uppercase P and have é instead of e, and a sentence shouldn't start with a lowercase word (should be "When" instead of "when")

[ebon warren]

250 character limit FYI

[clear hollow]

Ah, pardon

Fusions also shouldn't be described as fusions, but as separately functioning species, so no "when fused" and stuff

[craggy beacon]

i think th elast sentence is a bit out of place

since theres so much focus on swimming

[hollow locust]

i did the swimming stuff because dragonite flies over oceans

[clear hollow]

Read all the formatting rules if you plan to submit entries in the future, it'll prevent you from accidentally stumbling upon any formatting mistakes

[craggy beacon]

Although it is too heavy to fly, the scales on POKENAME's scales are tough enough to withstand harsh conditions in water and work like paddles, which allow the Pokemon to swim large distances.

this is my revision for the first sentence at least

i ddnt check cahrcater count necause its 3 in tha mornin!!!!

[hollow locust]

i'm dyslexic so issues like capitalization is an issue for me to notice sometimes

[ebon warren]

If you don't use a character counter beforehand, when you attempt to submit any entry with the form, it simply won't allow more than 250, so you'll find it very fast

[clear hollow]

Understandable, we're here to catch your mistakes if you miss any

[ebon warren]

For this, there are free fonts available for people with dyslexia, if you haven't tried them yet I'd recommend using them for everything honestly. (Assuming they help.)

[clear hollow]

never knew something like this is a thing

[hollow locust]

Dragonite/Kommo-o
Dragon/Fighting type

Although it can't fly, the scales on POKENAME are tough enough to repel harsh conditions in water and work like paddles, allowing the Pokémon to swim to islands with ease. The sound produced by the rubbing scales can lull young Dratimo-o to sleep.

[cunning quarry]

Seel/Ledyba
Water/Flying

When threatened, POKENAME use their powerful tails to stand upright to seem more imposing, or launch themselves out of the water. It is not uncommon for them to land on boats. POKENAME have tongues too big for their mouths.

[ebon warren]

Been around for a while but it isn't a nonprofit so... capitalism buries anything that isn't exclusively for-profit.
They've been around (the ones I know about) for almost two decades, at least

Here's one: https://opendyslexic.org/

[craggy beacon]

im not dyslexic (i. dont think sso anyway) but this font just scratches my brain

[rugged socket]

Second one should be POKENAME's

[ebon warren]

It's intentionally asymmetrical so that's unique haha

[fading scaffold]

how is this entry for this sprite?

POKENAME will spend most of their time raiding markets, restaurants and even houses in search of cheese. They have been known to fly across oceans seeking out dairy farms, circling the farm until they learn where the goods are stored.

[rugged socket]

I would probably combine the first 2 sentences

[fading scaffold]

how's that edit?

[frail vine]

Mantyke/Cacturne (261.458)
Learning to swim at a slower pace than most other water-type pokémon, POKENAME is forced to endure much ridicule from its peers. POKENAME utilizes a buoy to keep itself afloat while practising its swim-strokes.

[rugged socket]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1384148645158326392

Despite its small size, POKENAME can pack a punch when it starts running. Strangely, it’s usually fleeing in terror, from the sight of its own large, translucent tail, which it mistakes for a predator chasing it.

[hollow tapir]

Aw it’s like a dog

[gray kestrel]

what is inside his mouth (cool entry btw i like it)

[fading scaffold]

cheese

[gray kestrel]

i thought those were pokemon because of the dots in te cheese resembling eyes 😭

[hollow tapir]

@rugged socket can you help me with an entry

[rugged socket]

I can try! What's up?

[hollow tapir]

This creature

I love it and it deserves an entry but idk where to start

[rugged socket]

POKENAME live in coral reefs where they absorb the toxins from corals and sponges. If threatened, POKENAME can extend its ears and eject a poison-coated organ. They prefer to fend off atackers than move, as they spend days getting comfortable among the reefs, and can stay stationary for weeks at a time.

Couple ideas there, I'm not really sure

Tried to incorporate both Pokémon and the sea bunny

[midnight siren]

427.440a:

POKENAME are a common site in the snowy caves of Mt Silver. When resting, POKENAME wraps its soft wings around itself to keep its internal temperature up. - dex request from @sharp cloud

508.130:

Upon emerging from its cocoon, POKENAME starts feasting on any nearby vegetation it can find. Once it has decimated the local plant life it flies into a rage, destroying anything that remains. - as above

430.374:

The pattern on each wing of POKENAME are entirely unique. This Pokémon will unfurl its wings both as a defence mechanism and as part of its courting ritual. - dex request from @scarlet fiber

[hollow tapir]

Ooh

[hollow tapir]

Fuckin love you /plat

[midnight siren]

28.455:

The exterior of the dome POKENAME creates is incredibly tough, preventing most damage to its main body. If POKENAME is attacked, it will throw sand at its opponent and dig itself partly underground. - dex request from @scarlet fiber

i need help with wording on this one, its a bit clunkily written

[rugged socket]

Think it works fine, might change outside to exterior

[scarlet fiber]

Thank you so much for this. Sandapex especially has a special place in my heart since I used it in a water type only run and it was one of the mons that carried me through the Elite 4. So yeah, good memories

Also I agree with changing the word “outside” to “exterior”

[midnight siren]

np! glad i could make something you're happy with :)

~~also you have 2 more entries you can request ~~

[scarlet fiber]

I know! I’ll drop them pretty soon. I’ve decided on which ones I want, it’s just hard choosing my favorite sprites that need dex entries

[midnight siren]

i'm always open to dex requests, so feel free to request at any time

[scarlet fiber]

OMG WAIT U MADE THE EXAMPLE IN THE PINNED MESSAGES

[midnight siren]

[scarlet fiber]

[midnight siren]

~~its why i felt confident enough to offer dex entries ~~

i think i have quite a few good ones overall

[scarlet fiber]

nice

[rugged socket]

It's true folks, they do

[midnight siren]

~~its they atm please ~~

[scarlet fiber]

they said they use they/them

[rigid void]

i think that pidgeot fused with pidgeot should be able to fly at mach 6, because the original pidgeot could fly at mach 3

am i wrong?

[midnight siren]

~~its fine, I go by a bunch of diff pronoun sets at various points, idm if people get it wrong ~~

[rugged socket]

Sorry mb mb

[hollow tapir]

Dragon may I request an entry? (Idk if I can do it justice)

I need to do sea bunny but I’m locked in with a game cause I’m stubborn as hell (it’s fuckin puzzle bobble on switch)

[midnight siren]

ye, is it the one you posted a few hours ago?

[midnight siren]

all good :)

[hollow tapir]

I was gonna say wooper wooper the one that looks like the old version of it

Sea bunny I will do when I’m not weirdly focused on a sillly game

[midnight siren]

i'll have a look then

this one, yea?

[hollow tapir]

Yis that creature

Dumb and stupid and dumb /aff

My dad also called woopers stupid

[midnight siren]

194.194:

POKENAME is very sensitive to warm weather, hiding deep below the surface during heat waves. Trainers who keep POKENAME as pets will accommodate for this by feeding it ice cubes.

213.39:

Being very shy POKENAME spends most of its time hidden within its shell. POKENAME is an amazing singer, but it takes a lot of training to build its confidence enough to let its Trainer hear its song. - another dex request by @scarlet fiber

452.210:

The body pattern of POKENAME looks like a fancy suit. Territorial disputes and mating courtships are won by the POKENAME who looks the smartest. - as above

[scarlet fiber]

Pffft I love the Bebull entry so much

Also SHUPUFF MY HEART 😭😭😭

Love them both, thank you

[midnight siren]

may i use this quote in my RPG propaganda efforts

[scarlet fiber]

Sure

[hollow tapir]

I love the idea of just. Having like a cooler of ice cubes with you for em

[midnight siren]

i just remembered that people give like otters ice cubes and thought it was a cute visual

[ebon warren]

This is an interesting entry but it doesn't actually read logically. L
You explain that it does NOT like warm weather, and then say that it's Trainer supplements "this" by feeding it ice cubes. That's not a logical progression.
Giving it ice cubes makes it hate the warm weather more? Or it somehow bolsters it not liking warm weather? I'd replace supplement with accommodate instead, or something synonymous.

[midnight siren]

POKENAME is very sensitive to warm weather, hiding deep below the surface during heat waves. Trainers who keep POKENAME as pets will accommodate for this by feeding them ice cubes.

[ebon warren]

Nice, just change the it to them since the rest of that sentence refers to the fusion in the plural. Or you can make the entire second sentence to have all of the Pokémon references singular

[midnight siren]

altered

[lapis cosmos]

Jumping around the wild list, so I thought I'd share one.

Pikachu/Drifloon (Pikaloon) #25.402 (sprite by pinkyoshi2350)
POKENAME inhabits theme parks where it causes rides to shut down after overfeeding on their electricity. It hides among inanimate balloons waiting to be chosen by a child, after which it stealthily steals their family’s devices before floating away.

[rugged socket]

Very creative! I love that one

[nimble prawn]

wait how do I do this

142.414:

nope

eh I messed mine up anyway

[midnight siren]

what exactly are you asking for help with? writing an entry or something else?

[nimble prawn]

like how do I post my suggestion

like with the sprite and everything

[nimble prawn]

like this

I said "like" too many times

[midnight siren]

ah, so the way it is often done is by attaching a photo to a message, writing which dex number it is and then writing your entry underneath

[nimble prawn]

uh ok

[lapis cosmos]

I type all of that out in a google doc first, paste it here and edit the font, and then copy/paste the image from the sheet or fusiondex

[midnight siren]

does that make sense, or do you want anything explained in more detail?

I personally write my entries in a notepad file and copy it across, with an image from InfiniteDex or FusionDex

[nimble prawn]

POKENAME live at the bottom of lakes and oceans near hydrothermal vents. It uses its beautiful wings to scatter its scales around the vents to mark territory.

like this?

Also is my suggestion good?

POKENAME live near volcanoes, and can be seen swimming through magma. Its beauty makes fighters forget their spirits as it whips its tail around, spreading ember scales.

[midnight siren]

yep

[nimble prawn]

hooray

[midnight siren]

sometimes people add the dex numbers as well, but that isn’t mandatory

[midnight siren]

“live” should be changed to “lives” as “live” in this context is plural, and “it” is singular, so it should be “lives” to make it all singular

might also want to say “mark its territory” instead of “mark territory”

[midnight siren]

same “live” to “lives” change needed here as well. also a suggestion for refinement: change “fighters forget their spirits” to “opponents loose their fighting spirits”

[hollow tapir]

Yeah dex numbers just make it easier for referencing later when you do the form to submit sprites

[nimble prawn]

oh

[midnight siren]

but all in all some good entries

it’s all good, making mistakes is normal

[hollow tapir]

Volcarona is so cool

[midnight siren]

I do it all the time

[hollow tapir]

And can confirm! Imagine not making mistakes

Couldn’t be me

[midnight siren]

and it’s easier to proofread someone else’s writing than your own

[nimble prawn]

POKENAME uses illusions to make its territory shift and squirm. Anybody caught in the illusion is promptly licked by POKENAME, draining their life force and feeding the illusion.

how about this one

I kinda wanted to add how Haunark would sometimes use illusions to lure large groups of people into it's territory but I didn't know where to put it (also I didn't have enough space)

[midnight siren]

despite the disgusting imagery, I don’t see anything wrong

[nimble prawn]

Hooray!

[midnight siren]

personally I would suggest “anyone” over “anybody” but that’s just preference, they both work

[nimble prawn]

I was originally going to make it "wiggle and squirm" but changed it to "shift and squirm"

[midnight siren]

yeah, shift is definitely better than wiggle imo

[nimble prawn]

POKENAME uses illusions to slowly sneak up on an unsuspecting victim, sinking into their shadow when close enough. The victim will shudder and feel cold chills when their shadow is taken over.

[nimble prawn]

Edit: changed "people" to "victims"

[midnight siren]

you could change the first sentence to something like “POKENAME uses its illusions to lure unsuspecting groups into its ever shifting territory.”

[nimble prawn]

but then Gengar would get thrown out with the whole shadow thing

[midnight siren]

second sentence isn’t in dex style

[nimble prawn]

gulp

[midnight siren]

Wdym? the entry is for Haunte/Zoroak, no?

[nimble prawn]

this one is for gengar and zoroark

also I changed it

POKENAME uses illusions to slowly sneak up on an unsuspecting victim, sinking into their shadow when close enough. The victim will shudder and feel cold chills when their shadow is taken over.

[midnight siren]

(basically means too informal and is directly talking to the player instead of informing the player)

[midnight siren]

ah, the suggestion was intended for the haunter sprite

[nimble prawn]

I fixed it

[nimble prawn]

oh

[midnight siren]

cause you said you wanted to mention bringing groups into its territory

[nimble prawn]

I was going to make an entry for Aeroxure but... I don't wanna get near that thing

[nimble prawn]

yea

absolutely horrid

one of its arms is a wing

[midnight siren]

so I think my suggestion (or a slightly reworded version) would bring that in without removing the info already added into the current first sentence

[midnight siren]

it’s an autogen, that’s why it looks like that

[nimble prawn]

I know. I would make a new one but I can't draw at all : (

[midnight siren]

I couldn’t do pixel art when I started spriting here, it just takes a bit of practice :)

there are tons of people who could help you if you were interested

[nimble prawn]

I'll figure it out

POKENAME cares heavily for it's tusks, digging up minerals to strengthen them. If one of its tusks ever gets dirty or chipped, POKENAME will enter a wild frenzy, attacking anything in sight.

[nimble prawn]

edit: changed "it" to "them"

[midnight siren]

I think “heavily cares” should be changed to “cares heavily”

[nimble prawn]

oh yeah

[midnight siren]

anyways, I gotta go get some sleep now, peace

[wary scarab]

@small nest For the Yamask/Dragonite you made me:

It fiercely guards the golden mask embedded in its belly, which is believed to hold great power. It becomes bitterly saddened if anyone tries to touch it.

Definitely needs some work but I also forgot to send that awhile ago lol

Chesnaught/Minior Core
Despite breaking free from its hardened shell, POKENAME remains too dense to float. It plummets to the ground with a heavy thud, startling nearby Pokémon.

Roserade/Minior Core

POKENAME drifts gracefully through the air, its petals trailing behind like a cloak. It is said to only descend when the blooms on its arms are in perfect balance.

[lapis cosmos]

"it's" (it is) should be "its" (possessive)

Also, how do the minerals strengthen them? Does the Aerodactyl/Haxorus eat them? Does it sharpen the blades on them?

[nimble prawn]

Thanks but I think you're a little late. It grinds the minerals up with it's sharp teeth before spitting it in the dirt and rubbing its tusks on the mineral vomit.

[lapis cosmos]

You can always resubmit the form. It takes the most recent if the same person submits it, I believe.

That second element is pretty specific and unique. It might make sense to include it in the entry if you do resubmit.

[nimble prawn]

I resubmitted with the updated version

A sudden mutation caused POKENAME to sprout wings, caused by it's desire to spread its rage further in the sky and land. When it's not rampaging, it slumbers in deep ocean canyons.

[lapis cosmos]

I'm not sure that the "sudden mutation" idea works with the rules. I've mentioned evolving an adaptation and its been rejected.

[nimble prawn]

I'm just gonna pray to the shrek god and hope for the best

[lapis cosmos]

Looking for feedback. Trying to convey this carefree forest spirit that gives people stuff others have lost.

Phantump/Delibird (Phantbird) #438.225 (sprite by kayky2329)
POKENAME wanders around wooded areas, searching for hikers and campers, preferring lost ones. When it finds them, it gifts an item from the wooden sack, which is a seemingly random lost object. It then merrily skips into the brush and disappears.

[narrow cosmos]

I wonder if "preferring lost ones" could be excised or just changed to "lost hikers and campers" for brevity. Adding to that, as a possible alternative, the second halves could be shuffled around into something like "it gifts and item from its wooden sack, then disappears merrily into the brush. The gifted items appear to be trinkets lost from other travelers."

Feel free to ignore or adjust the wordings here if you like, just my two cents.

[lapis cosmos]

NO! I love those ideas! Thanks!

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME has been noted as being one of the most affectionate Pokémon around, always seeking hugs and cuddles. This is beneficial to POKENAME as well, as the soft embrace of another soothes its aching head.

Cute idea I had, had to share.

[lapis cosmos]

Great combo!

HOLY WILD CATCHABLE SHEET UPDATE!

[void bone]

POKENAME are said to be responsible for guiding and protecting the souls of the dead for as long as it can both in the spirit and living worlds. Its antenna can detect any wandering souls that are left in the living world.
Just thought I could share as its been floating in my mind for quite sometime

[narrow cosmos]

I saw that, I wondered if that was some sort of error or something, we're suddenly back in the full alphabet again!

[lapis cosmos]

The wild work is never done! Time to comb through the new ones before anyone plows through

[lapis cosmos]

"the souls of the dead for as long as it can both in the spirit and living worlds" reads a little awkward. Maybe just cut it down to protecting them as they pass between?

[void bone]

ooo maybe maybe Ill try that yeye

[narrow cosmos]

I do wonder if it's an error or something, I know sometimes entries come back if the ones they have pending get denied for one reason or another, but this many at once is a bit wild, it's like the entire Izik collection got sent back.

[lapis cosmos]

Okay, I'm assuming its an error. I submitted one and now checked the grid and it has an entry

<@&1210701164426039366> Anyone clear on if the Wild list just errored? Or do we have a bunch of new sprites?

Either way, I suppose that'll be it for me today.

[hexed fog]

It does that sometimes due to Google sheets being butt

Just give it a bit

If it's still like that when I wake up I'll summon knilk but any time I ping him lately it magically fixes itself

So I feel bad lmao

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Hoothoot

POKENAME is always screeching, some say it can sense weather patterns and is trying to tell others. Its mud-nests promptly wash away whenever it rains heavily, though POKENAME have always departed before the first drop falls.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Ledyba

POKENAME’s wings are better adapted for water than air, allowing it to slice through currents at speeds up to 90 km/h. On land, however, it becomes calm and sociable, often seen huddling with others, behaviour it never displays while underwater.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Chinchou

Found near the ocean floor, POKENAME is rarely seen. It thrives in waters below 3°C, but when forced into warmer environments, it generates bioelectric pulses in its gills. These trigger evaporative cooling, helping it regulate its body temperature.

[lapis cosmos]

Until the wild dex is fixed, I'm going through all of my Pokemon entries to find which I haven't written for, starting with my original starter of Bulbasaur!

Porygon-Z/Bulbasaur (Porysaur) #275.1(a) (sprites by robot_department_store)
POKEMON has an encyclopedic knowledge in regards to plant care, so it is a common partner for gardeners. Unfortunately, it can become erratic and mixes up what conditions different plants prefer, so owners must keep a close watch on it.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Lanturn

POKENAME glows due to bioluminescent bacteria that feed on a mucus it secretes. It can control how much mucus is produced, adjusting the luminance of its glow. When threatened, it releases a sudden surge, blinding predators and escaping in the flash.

[lapis cosmos]

Releases a surge of mucus? Gross but effective.

[scarlet fiber]

Today I learned that I wrote dex entries for some of my sprites and they’re actually pretty cool???

I literally do not remember writing anything for my fusions but that’s how things go ig

Like this isn't one of the cool ones but LOOK:
"Groups of wild POKENAME are known to be gentle and friendly. Their song is so potent that they are known to put themselves to sleep."

BABY

[lapis cosmos]

Very cute

[scarlet fiber]

Right?!?

Let me see if I can find one of the cool ones

"When angered, POKENAME's horn releases a strong torrent of tainted water. This water is horribly poisonous, and can prove dangerous even with simple contact with skin."

[lapis cosmos]

Good use of clearly combining both base 'mon

[scarlet fiber]

Past me was actually pretty good at this whole writing dex entries thing

[lapis cosmos]

I'm sure you still got it

[scarlet fiber]

Yeah probably. I should start writing dex entries again, I remember it being pretty fun

[hollow tapir]

It can be fun unless it’s minior

[lapis cosmos]

I'm pretty chill with Minior Core. Meteor is tougher.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Pichu

Very few POKENAME colonies exist, but each holds hundreds of individuals. Incredibly social, they recognize every member and are often seen splashing in water or playfully tickling each other with bursts of static electricity.

[hexed fog]

I reached out

[scarlet fiber]

Bulbasaur/Oricorio Baile:

"POKENAME dance using their vines as ribbons. The bigger the bulb on their back is, the older and healthier the POKENAME is."

[clever loom]

Shouldn't it be "On its back" since you POKENAME it before ?

[scarlet fiber]

Thank you for that! I haven't written a dex entry in a while 😅

[clever loom]

You're welcome !

I wasn't sure at all, as i'm not a native speaker- I kinda sent it to verify myself too x)

[scarlet fiber]

[insert joke about non-native English speakers being better at English than native speakers]

[clever loom]

[insert joke about a french actually speaking decent english for once]

[midnight siren]

English is hard for everyone

[lapis cosmos]

Cheers! And no worries!

[midnight siren]

I suck at it sometimes, and I can’t even vaguely speak anything else

[scarlet fiber]

While you're here Dragon, did u see my ping?

[lapis cosmos]

Either "POKENAME dances" or all "its" should be "their" due to dex rules on singular/plural

[clever loom]

What is that rule ?

[lapis cosmos]

I teach it and I have to double check rules and miss it in my own writing sometimes!

[little gulch]

If it's "POKENAME dance", it implies plural (no S)

[scarlet fiber]

fixed, thank you

[little gulch]

And it implies that it's the whole species

[lapis cosmos]

It = singular, they = plural

[little gulch]

If it's "POKENAME dances" it's that's specific Pokémon, so "it"

[clever loom]

Thanks !

[scarlet fiber]

Does the entry look good otherwise? I'm a bit rusty with writing dex entries I will admit

[clever loom]

It has flavor, does check the pokemon fact for me

[lapis cosmos]

The second line is still a little off imo. Here's an idea
"The age and health of a POKENAME is indicated by the size and color of the bulb on its back."

[scarlet fiber]

"POKENAME dances using its vines as ribbons. The age and health of a POKENAME is indicated by the size and color of the bulb on its back."

[lapis cosmos]

And then I'd just say to change the first line to "POKENAME dances using its vines as ribbons" for consistancy.

It still reads as the entire species

And my suggestions are always just that: suggestions. Never a must do unless its a literal grammar issue.

[scarlet fiber]

Thanks for the help! First time using this thread to get feedback on an entry, since before I would just submit them without running them by anyone which is horrible practice for a spriter

[lapis cosmos]

Nah, its fine. Folks write a lot of entries so there's rarely time for feedback on all of them.

Like, I wrote around 6 in the past hour but only posted the Porygon-Z/Bulbasaur

Gah, some of these sprites are just so good but will never be seen unless the randomizer blesses a player.

[clever loom]

I feel like it is a part of the fun of it to be honest

like seeking the hidden gems

[lapis cosmos]

Like, so many sick Metapod fusions
(Magcargo/Metapod)

simple but super effective

[scarlet fiber]

I once made a Lurantis/Giratina

No one is ever gonna see that

[midnight siren]

491.407:

The squishy body of POKENAME is surrounded in a candyfloss-like substance. This coating is constantly being replaced and reformed as old layers crystalise. - dex request by @scarlet fiber

[clever loom]

You can make dex request ?! i missed that ! I only knew for sprite requests

[scarlet fiber]

I made some sprites for Dragon, and I got dex entries in exchange

[clever loom]

Oh, i though it was a system like the bot.

That does be cool too tho !

[midnight siren]

489.491:

The pumpkin that POKENAME possesses is unusually sweet. Chefs will sometimes cook the pumpkin for special occasions. - dex request from @scarlet fiber

[scarlet fiber]

YIPPEEE

thank you sm Dragon, you da person 🙏

(gender neutral version of you da man )

[lapis cosmos]

If you haven't submitted this yet, maybe consider adding what special occassions this might be for (just for extra flair!)

[scarlet fiber]

My first thought was the Pokemon equivalent of Thanksgiving

like with pumpkin pie

[midnight siren]

yea, I need to rework parts of it, it’s clunky wording

[scarlet fiber]

Pumplix pie

[midnight siren]

I mean I do dex requests

[lapis cosmos]

maybe "harvest celebrations"? Or "end of autumn celebrations"?

[scarlet fiber]

Oh btw Dragon I made this earlier, haven't submitted it yet. What do you think?

[midnight siren]

looks good to me, cool concept!

[midnight siren]

The pumpkin that POKENAME possesses is unusually sweet. Chefs will sometimes cook the pumpkin for harvest celebrations in rich neighbourhoods.

thoughts

~~it’s really weird (not in a bad way) having people ask me specifically for thoughts on dex entries ~~

[scarlet fiber]

Nah but ur goated when it comes to dex entries so

just submitted that Bulbacorio entry btw, thanks again for all the help on it everyone

Now to make the rest of the line

[hollow tapir]

Niceee

I did a line once of creatures

It was dragons creatures actually!

[scarlet fiber]

dope

[clever loom]

is'nt halloween also a concept linked to that pumkin pokemon (yes i forgot the name sorry-)

[lapis cosmos]

Again, as I hadn't written for Kakuna yet, I found another amazing sprite that will be super rarely seen due to evolution levels:

Kakuna/Gengar (Kakgar) #14.94 (sprite by userhasbeennamed)
POKENAME’s outer layer mimics the frightening countenance of a Gengar, scaring away potential predators. When it is ready to evolve, POKENAME peeks out of the growing cracks in its armor, waiting for the moment it deems will be the funniest.

[narrow cosmos]

While it normally floats motionless, POKENAME quickly darts away from anything that attempts to touch the arcane symbol floating above it. Some theorize that touching the icon will trigger a horrible cataclysm.

[lapis cosmos]

What's the non-Groudon half?

[narrow cosmos]

Shedinja. Do not touch the forbidden horseshoe.

[lapis cosmos]

Ah! The eyes should have been a giveaway

[narrow cosmos]

Shedinja's another fun one to write for, though you gotta obviously kinda reign yourself in a little to not be too doom-y, despite the gimmick.

It's also one of those Pokemon where one half of the fusions tends to be easier to write for than the others.

Cause like, doing Unown heads is neat, for example, it's usually some creepy eyeball/mystery thing for the body Pokemon, but for Unown bodies it's a little trickier because you have so much less to work with visually most of the time. I feel, anyway.

I'm taking a few moments to just look for more random fusions while the list is currently borked on the wild tab.

[scarlet fiber]

Ivysaur/Oricorio Baile:

"POKENAME's vines are thicker and longer than its pre-evolution's, causing them to be heavier and less ribbon-like. The bulb on its back gives off a spicy scent when it's ready to bloom."

If no one sees any glaring errors I'm gonna go ahead and submit

submitted

Writing dex entries is so fun ngl

[hexed fog]

Ok the wild list should be fixed

lmk if its still broken

[lapis cosmos]

Looks fixed! Thanks!

Sandygast/Pidgey (Sandygey) #459.16 (sprite by apurru)
Flocks of POKENAME hide buried at the seaside, waiting for beachgoers to arrive. Once people have set up for relaxation, the flock bursts up with Sand Attacks at the level of a sandstorm, steals as much food and snacks as possible, and flies away.

[ebon warren]

That depends on the fusion, because these examples by (I feel) have ample detail to make a compelling entry:
https://www.fusiondex.org/243.201/
https://www.fusiondex.org/244.201/
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/245.201b/

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, it always depends, and sometimes you can still think up funny stuff. I did one unexpectedly for a Rhyhorn/Unown in the past. Just sometimes it's harder for me personally.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Cleffa

POKENAME spend most of their lives curled up underwater, motionless. If disturbed, they release a mild toxin. On full moon nights, they float to the surface, absorbing moonbeams. They've never been seen eating and may subsist solely on lunar energy.

[nimble prawn]

POKENAME stay in packs, using cries to communicate. If a pack member is injured or feeling sad, other POKENAME will give the injured member a piece of their shell to cheer it up.

Packs of POKENAME will float through the sky, searching for prey and for kind people. If they spot a kind person, the pack will sprinkle dust from above, making everybody nearby happy.

POKENAME fly around, searching for conflict. If a person is seen avoiding conflict and respecting others, it will sprinkle dust that makes anybody happy from above. If it finds somebody in conflict, it will spew extremely painful flames from above.

[hollow tapir]

Hmm I wonder if I should submit my entries from the other day

They probs need sprucing up tho

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Togetic

POKENAME tries to spread joy by releasing a shiny film onto those below, unfortunately, this film closely resembles bird droppings. Oblivious to the annoyance it causes, it cheerfully frolics away, believing it has brightened someone’s day.

[rugged socket]

Do itttt

[hollow tapir]

My brain malfunctioned and I may have written one of the sprite names wrong

[midnight siren]

you can probably remove the second “for” making it just “and kind people”

[hollow tapir]

Hopefully they get accepted tho. That would be nice

Idk if I told you wooper warrior, one of em was sylveon mimi

[midnight siren]

two suggestions here: “anybody” to “anyone” (it flows better to me) and “someone in conflict” to “someone in a conflict”

[midnight siren]

if they have the wrong sprite number, you may want to ping an unown and make sure they know so they can change it on the sheet

[midnight siren]

I’m sure they will, you make really cool entries

[hollow tapir]

It’s more I just did them and I blank on if I added the c on the first one

[hollow tapir]

You’re so sweet

@hexed fog I think I can @ you about this? I just submitted my entries but my sylveon meloetta one might be wrong. It should be marked with a c, but I’m not sure if I did

Have another entry tho I wanna do

It’s so easy, you know I have to

Okay I say this but like

Wording it is hard

Just that it has only one hand but it’s still very uh. Strong? Balanced? And how it likes hoarding loot it finds

[hexed fog]

what the number?

[hollow tapir]

339.466c

[hexed fog]

it shows a c

whatcha talkin bout

[hollow tapir]

Okay I immediately forgot after doing it if I put one

So just needed to make sure

Wait if it’s in the doc like that does that mean it’s approved or how does that work? /genq

[rugged socket]

It's in the Responses section, an Unown will go through it (probably Izik) and check it, then decide whether it gets added

[hollow tapir]

Ahhh

I forgor that was an option there

I hope they get through!

[rugged socket]

Sure they will

[hollow tapir]

And also. Did you see the creature above? I’m struggling with wording an entry for it

[rugged socket]

Ahh sorry I'm heading off for a bit

[hollow tapir]

lol you’re all good

[rugged socket]

Don't know either Pokémon too well

They eject their organs don't they

[hollow tapir]

I don’t remember tbh

[rugged socket]

Could say they need the metal from money to survive

[hexed fog]

Just say it has an odd fascination with pirate treasure and hordes it in underwater crevices that it digs out with sharp claws

[twin vapor]

POKENAME's incredible eyesight allows it to spot friends from orbit. The night sky lights up as they descend to play.

[hexed fog]

339.466c.png POKENAME has often struggled with its identity and loving itself. It eventually turned to music, where it could voice its struggles, and possibly help others with its songs.
339.373c.png POKENAME is usually shy in expressing itself, but it has gotten better over time. Now it can proudly be itself, without shame.

@hollow tapir

Sorry but these both violate FAQ 9. Remember you need to talk about the species, not just that one pokemon.

Also, while I understand that fancanon treats Sylveon as a 'trans' pokemon icon, this is not a canon thing in the Pokemon games and would not be included in a dex entry

[hollow tapir]

Got it

[hexed fog]

To show where a 'shy' pokemon makes sense to the pokemon check @midnight siren 's entry

213.39.png Being very shy, POKENAME spends most of its time hidden within its shell. POKENAME is an amazing singer, but it takes a lot of training to build its confidence enough to let its Trainer hear its song.

This would make sense, as Shuckle regularly is depicted as shy and hides in its shell.

[hollow tapir]

Understood

[hexed fog]

I'm just glad we didnt get a whole bunch of edgelord entries yet

[hexed fog]

omg yessss

we are caught up

https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_spriter.html

@unkempt plinth did a great job getting dex entries on their website 😄

[scarlet fiber]

Hey Izik I noticed an error for one of my entries. The one for 73.430 was meant for 74.430

I'm so sorry, I promise to check the numbers before I submit another entry

frick how do I submit a dex error???

[hexed fog]

Just send me a pm

I'll take care of it in the morning

[ebon warren]

In the future, if the entry is in the spreadsheet but not in PIF, post here the sprite number and the changes needed.
If it's already been added to the game, you'd submit an error report here: #custom-dex-errors

[narrow cosmos]

Yooo, easy look into a single writer's dex entries? Holy crap.

As well as artist references too, that's really cool.

Just wish the charts you can make criss-crossing Pokemon to see their fusion sprites weren't so tiny.

(Little outdated though, dunno if that's the current count from the last in-game update but the site's about 300 short of my current amount in the approved tab. Still really cool to see though. )

[willow venture]

My wriiitiiiinnggg

I'm almost choking up omg

[narrow cosmos]

It's so cool to see, isn't it? Especially all in one place.

It's just as beautiful as the first time you see your stuff in-game

Also super-nice entries.

[floral crow]

POKENAME uses its sandy mane to cushion its head, neck, and shoulders against repeated impacts. Because of this, it is the POKENAME with the largest mane that leads a herd; not necessarily the one with the largest horn.
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1384399987341000804
eventually I'll start remembering to write my dex entries with my initial spritework post so I don't feel the need to repost them here every time

[nimble prawn]

Happy birthday!

[unkempt plinth]

I used the google one "approved", i do not know there are something less outdated than that.

[dull folio]

Wait this is so cool someone needs to pin this

[unkempt plinth]

No, please

this is for artist/writer mostly, not for player ^^

Better to keep it hidden a bit. Also do not hesitate to feedback if it lack something (also do not use it for report error).

[dull folio]

Fair enough I didn’t know that my bad

[willow venture]

Well fellas I think I can officially say I completed the Rotom wild entries! (All 2 of the rest that hasn't been filled)

[hexed fog]

Always grateful for entries

[burnt snow]

does writing "POKENAME's" still insert the pokemon's name with the 's?

[willow venture]

Yea

Don't worry about it

[burnt snow]

I just checked on mine and one of them went to the wrong mon, rippp T-T

[willow venture]

Unless you mistyped it as POKENAME'S which yeah it'll be bleh

[burnt snow]

tyy

[burnt snow]

is there any way I can get the entry corrected? it's on 167.18 instead of 367.18.

[hexed fog]

Send me a msg on discord

I'll fix when I am on my lunch break

[burnt snow]

👍

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Umbreon

Each year, many Woovee gather at Alola’s Altar of the Moone. From dusk, they howl at the moon, and by morning, all have evolved into POKENAME. It’s the largest known congregation of its kind, many ecologists travel great distances just to witness it.

Is this suitable lore-wise?

[narrow cosmos]

Honestly seems pretty up-to-date, I think I see some entries I did like, last week that got approved so clearly it's pretty recent, maybe the discrepancy is for those alt sprites I did or something. Not a big deal! This is still really cool to see!

[narrow cosmos]

I think an old one of mine did the same looking at it, but it can still kinda work for the one it went to, so I'm not sure if I wanna bother trying to get it fixed.

[rigid void]

hey, what about if pidgeot fused with pidgeot could fly at mach six bc pidgeots original pokedex entry says it can fly at mach 3

[stark finch]

I see that I'm in the drop-down but my entries don't pop up.

weird.

[unkempt plinth]

Oh i see, just means than no sprite related to your entries have been found on the latest spritepack.

I used the wrong file for register writers list.

[willow venture]

I have a lot of entries that haven't been on the site yet

It's constantly getting updated so dw

[unkempt plinth]

ah, nevermind. The sprites exist. I need to check why

Ok, just an error from the website, because of incorrect character. I just need to find them
edit: i will update you when fixed

[narrow cosmos]

Thank you for your work.

[unkempt plinth]

I have posted too many time on the entries error, just for wrong ", ' or ” not followed per the same one. Ah ah

I have put an update. But i need to fix a issue with collabs and " text " missing. Will take some time to fix. But the two entries of Twerp appears now. But any collabs will badly appears.

[stark finch]

oh neat

[hexed fog]

it takes time to update I've noticed. most likely only stuff in the game

[lapis cosmos]

Entry question: Is it okay for Victreebel to eat and/or dissolve people? Or is that outside of dex scope/language?

[graceful smelt]

Doesn't it talk about that in its official dex entry?

Or at least something similar?

[lapis cosmos]

I believe its vaguely hinted at. Like "and they were never seen again" about explorers in their habitat.

And that it dissolves vague prey animals.

Here's the entry for more specificity:

Victreebel/Lycanroc Midday (Victreeroc) #71.464 (sprite by knilk)
POKENAME is a fairly low energy pet, snoozing in the midday sun and attracting home and garden pests like Rattata and Beedrill to feed on. However, if it is not well taken care of, it may attempt to swallow its owner as well.

[hexed fog]

is the dex sheet dead for anyone else or am i losing my mind

nm there it goes

[narrow cosmos]

If you wanna be on the safe side, maybe just change it to something like "However, if it is not well taken care of, it may attempt to swallow its owner as well."

Still carries the risk without being too egregious, I feel.

[lapis cosmos]

That’s the tough thing. It’s very in Victreebel’s character but it’s also one of those pretty violent areas

[unkempt plinth]

I have fixed the most of what i can (on my website, not the google sheet). But sorry not sorry, someone need to enforce rules when adding entries to the google calcs ^^.
Collab are never written the same, name are "discord name" or "displayed name" (Probably not anymore) (edit: learned than this is have been etablished last year)
Edit: Now, i know why Fusiondex has not implemented it, yet.
Great work anyways for this google sheet, because of all this work, doing it without any bot

[hexed fog]

Yeah it should only be discord name.

Also it's not your fault that noone caught the one quotation mark not showing up lol

[unkempt plinth]

Oh, i have fixed on my website. I mean, collab case. But i have send most of them to Ziggaway

[hexed fog]

hey guys just a reminder, failure to input your discord username in properly will just get your entry denied. I know some have slipped through and we are denying them now. We require Discord Usernames for multiple reasons.

[narrow cosmos]

Ah darn, refreshed the site and now it won't show my specific author gens anymore. Ah well, I'll wait until it fixes, it'll be there before long.

[unkempt plinth]

oh my bad, an error on the code ^^

I fix it
edit: fixed

[narrow cosmos]

Thank you so much!

Oh wow, it even updated further, 200 more entries available to read.

[small nest]

This should be fine. I recommend editing it to say This is the largest known congregation of its kind. Many

[jagged ledge]

Just wanted to say thanks so much for the archive!

Are there any plans to search by Pokémon in the future?

[lapis cosmos]

The archive rocks and it’s definitely giving me a list of ones to double check in the sheet of mine bc at least one is labeled as having an incorrect entry

[hexed fog]

the archive is nice but it's having some issues because of people inputting things that are not their username, collabs, and usernames with random spaces at the end

if anyone input something that is not their username and are now getting denied please have them reach out to us with the specific entry guys

it was their responsibility to submit their stuff properly the first time :/

[dull folio]

POKENAME rises gently on its wings made of smoke, seemingly produced from inside its body. A heat constantly builds inside it , with it having to expel this heat from time to time with a blast of embers.

Wooooow, you didn't finish the Wild List before I came back

[dull folio]

We’ve had a damn good go we’re under 2000 now

The izik pile is somehow expanding

[midnight siren]

i mean isn't that just what izik does? make more work for the other unowns

[dull folio]

And for himself lmao

[terse tide]

How big is the pile currently?

[dull folio]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rock-mp4-transparent-color-gif-11114772717737196968

[dull folio]

I don’t know and I’m scared to check

I’m not gonna make any dents in the list of wild entries for a while I’ll be away for a couple days, when I come back we better be under 1500 lmao

[terse tide]

792... in counting

[midnight siren]

i don't know how to check the izik pile

i stay blissfully ignorant

[terse tide]

Man, good thing I'm not an unown

[midnight siren]

i keep considering it and nearly applying and never do

[terse tide]

I guess since I'm back I could write some entries

[dull folio]

It’s in the approved entries bit of the spreadsheet

[dull folio]

Blessing and a curse lmao, the curse is being trapped under the izik pile

[midnight siren]

and the blessing is being allowed to see the izik pile

[dull folio]

Idk running an event or 2 would be cool I like that part, but I’m too busy with school for all the approving of entries and stuff

i just don't think i'm that good to say if other people's entries are good

[dull folio]

I can’t I’m in high school not college

[rugged socket]

Someone's gotta do it, I would guess that you are

[midnight siren]

i'm just blind and miss things all the time

[dull folio]

I know I can’t judge when every entry of mine has to be grammar checked lmao

And if I mess something up I’d feel so dumb for missing it

[midnight siren]

fr

[midnight siren]

btw you don't need to be an unown to run events/contests inherently, you could 100% run some smaller events

i think it'd be in #1222376526805209201, but not 100% sure lol

[terse tide]

That moment when izik forgot you did the 4/4 diction dex before @rugged socket

Now you're my mortal enemy 😠

[hexed fog]

?

everyone is free to do every diction dex

wait

did i promise a sprite and not do it?

@rugged socket did i miss you?

[terse tide]

1. Hi Izik! Im back from my trip!
2. Yeah you kinda did...

[hexed fog]

I dont see any messages

send me a private message with the sprite you want

I will do it now, I can take a break from the dex

[rugged socket]

Nah nah you're all good, got a Wooper/Kadabra out of you

[hexed fog]

#1385023075665317968 message

also lotad has 6 legs?

wtf?

[terse tide]

!?

[hexed fog]

IM FUCKING SORRY?!

WHAT KINDA OF BERENSTEIN BEARS BS?!

ok I'm going to go have a breakdown

[rugged socket]

Thought it would be the thousands of dex entries, but no, it's the lil guy having too many legs

[hexed fog]

ok getting through the unreviewed entries now

[lapis cosmos]

Is "magic" an acceptable element in dex entries?

I'm working on a new wild entry and this Flareon/Mismagius is very witchy/magical

[hexed fog]

all of mismagius' entries say people 'think' its chanting

i dont see anything in pokemon that literally says magic either

[lapis cosmos]

Okay, I'll keep it ambiguous!

[hexed fog]

so you can give it the ol 'fables say' treatment

god we lost so many misdreavus in the purge

[lapis cosmos]

? What happened? (and more for me because I've loved that lil ghost since Gold and Silver released)

[hexed fog]

lol just purging people who didnt input their usernames properly

[lapis cosmos]

Ah! Goodness you reviewed those quickly!

[lapis cosmos]

The fact that it curses people makes it so tricky imo.

[hexed fog]

dude

i hate everything

it's so true

like bro you literally have a move called Magic Leaf lol

[lapis cosmos]

lol Magic Guard, Magic Bounce, etc. I just know they tread a very thin and unclear line.

[hexed fog]

want me to just take care of the Misdreavus entries

?

[lapis cosmos]

The ones you already have done are all yours!

But I'm happy to chew through the others!

[hexed fog]

ok I'll start back up with Munchlax onward

so we arent stepping on toes

[lapis cosmos]

Sounds good! I'll pause my one entry for every 'mon challenge (currently at Porygon)

and start looking at Mis/Mag

Be back soon to continue the entries!

[hexed fog]

Np left all the mis heads for ya

We only have 1800 wild entries left

We can do thissss

ok 1900

but still!!!

I am going to go fold laundry and come back

[hexed fog]

@rugged socket finish the last dictiondex so I can make new onessss. You're on a rollll

I'll even do an extra sprite if theyre all wild mons

Cmaaaan

[lapis cosmos]

Back from dinner and dishes, so its time to write Mis entries for like an hour!

[hexed fog]

857 in the izik pile get on it @ebon warren mwahahahaa

[jagged ledge]

Are you giving any notifications or fixes? Is there data on the entries?

Or are they just completely purged?

If it's the latter, reparations or notifications should be made at least.

[hexed fog]

It was advised very early on that entries will be denied if input incorrectly. They can always reclaim their entries. No, there are no reparations for incorrectly written entries. This is a fan made Pokemon game.

You are welcome to go through the denied entries and contact them but as they input their names wrong we cannot do so easily

So you'll need to put on your detective cap lol

Let's worry about the entries that were submitted properly

[hollow nimbus]

You okay?

[hexed fog]

I was having a fall out lol

I am good now lololol

[hollow nimbus]

It's my understanding that they're just being marked as Not Approved and having a note attached

Crediting is a serious topic, and we can't put people's work in the game if we're unable to credit them correctly.

All they'd need to do is let an Unown know that they would like to have their mis-input names changed to their username, whatever that is

[lapis cosmos]

Shutting down for the night. I'll continue tomorrow, but anyone hankering for some Misdreavous entries feel free to snag them from the wild list!

[jagged ledge]

Alright sounds good. Should probably try to figure out who they are and inform them.

[hexed fog]

Thats up to you. There's hundreds, maybe even 1000

That is a lot of effort for folks who may not even reply

Why not work on the entries we already have?

[vague umbra]

Ok I just made an update on the hypothetical dex entry I made like I think a month or two ago. It's now this:
"It's often doubted whether the two Pokémon even had a bond with each other to begin with. However, despite having different interests in battling and singing, they have a bond as close as a knight and a princess."
The battling part was actually a reference to the fact that Keldeo was my MVP(Most Valued Pokémon) in the PWT (along with 11 other Pokémon) in the Driftveil Tournament, winning like 12 times without fail(I definitely did not use any save states) and that it is quite literally based on the hidden fourth member of the three musketeers, which is also what the swords of justice were based on(search it on Google and you'll know why). As for singing part, it was a reference to the few times that Meloetta sings throughout the Black and White anime (from An Epic Defence Force! to Unova's Survival Crisis!) and that it's literally called the Melody Pokémon. For the last few words on the dex entry, "They have a bond as close as a knight and a princess.", that was actually my headcanon on their relationship with each other lol. So yeah, what do you think of the updated dex entry?

[hexed fog]

Sounds like it violates FAQ 9 :/ it should speak of the whole species

[vague umbra]

The whole species?

[hexed fog]

Yes

[vague umbra]

Hang on, how does that work?

Just curious

[hexed fog]

Not Approved: POKENAME wears dark black lipstick and listens to MCR. Her best friend is named Vampyr.

Approved: POKENAME's black lips exhibit an odd glow when exposed to music. It frequently can be seen flying near swarms of Zubat.

[hollow nimbus]

To put it in other terms, talking about the entire species is like talking about how dogs run around on four legs. That's generally true.
Talking about an individual is like talking about a dog that was taught to do tricks. Most dogs don't know those tricks, so it's not very informative about dogs as a whole.

[hexed fog]

But... My Immortal reference...

[small nest]

it loves b'loody marys

[narrow cosmos]

Alright Ebony Darkness Dementia Way

Or however it went

[jagged ledge]

Just seems like a lot to deny suddenly for small mistakes that won't even be visibly displayed for a while. Are the ones with wrong usernames marked? I can at least see what I can do to make an effort.

[jagged ledge]

You forgot Raven, but otherwise that's correct I believe lol

[rugged socket]

I've got a couple that are waiting to be submitted from DexDuko, but other than that they're all done

[vague umbra]

I didn't know that at first...

[ebon warren]

||Technically it's Magical Leaf but yeah.||
It's very difficult to parse, what the hell causes Magic Bounce to work if not magic?

[frail vine]

WHAT IS THE PLURAL OF KRABBY AAAAAAGHHH

KRABBY OR KRABBIES

[rugged socket]

Krabby

All Pokémon plural are the same as singular

Like 1 sheep, 2 sheep

[rugged socket]

Marvin The Marrow Muncher (marvinthemarrowmuncher) (278 entries) and Kurator Chorby (chorb33) (237 entries) might be worth salvaging their dex entreis

Everyone else has less than like 25

[willow venture]

Did any of my entries got the purges

I do have less than 25 lol

[rugged socket]

Not for wrong username (assuming you are Beatdoof), but 339.275b got rejected for 'it is a pokemon, not a program or virus'

[willow venture]

No yeah so I got nothing purged lol

So no worries on that front

[hexed fog]

So fun change (not really) usernames should always be lowercase moving fwd

I'll try to fix them as I see them but pleeeeease do your best to remember yall

[terse tide]

Izik what are these dictiondex words 😭

[hexed fog]

hahahaha

[terse tide]

"Gobbledygook"

Like what 😭

[hexed fog]

best part is someone already input an entry with that word so I know it is possible

get crackin 😉

[hollow tapir]

Was it your entry

[hexed fog]

nope

[willow venture]

This is like a really recent rule right

[hexed fog]

Yes lol

Like just now

You're fine

Even if people mess up sometimes we can just fix it

[midnight siren]

Gobbledygook is a peak word how dare

it does feel very British tho now I think about it

very Jabberwock coded

[hexed fog]

theyre going to need to request it themselves, I am not assuming anymore

[terse tide]

What cheeky wording 😉

[hexed fog]

Alright, a quick update guys.

Peach will now show incorrect "
Light Green will now show incorrect usernames (caps/spaces)

nothing you guys need to worry about but fun updates are fun

[midnight siren]

Jabberwocky is a very dumb poem

but in a good way

is it a poem acc

it is

read it, and make a dex entry for every word made up for it

my own personal challenge to y’all

[hexed fog]

hey guys dont worry about msging me for minor fixes lol

even if we miss them it's not the end of the world

like you can, ofcourse, if you see them not getting fixed. but odds are we are gonna see them

[midnight siren]

i immediately forgot

i just submitted an entry with my name capitalised, apologies

150.159:

The fangs of POKENAME are imbued with the power to confuse anyone unlucky enough to be bitten. The only way to break out of this confusion is with ice cold water. - dex request from @scarlet fiber

217.443:

The power of POKENAME comes from absorbing sunlight into its wings. After a full week of sunbathing, POKENAME is strong enough to break apart mountains. - as above

[hexed fog]

we are officially at 1800 in the wild list

keep up the good work yall!

[hexed fog]

the izik pile is over 900

Hmm maybe I'll work on getting it to 1000 tonight

[timid sky]

The other Unowns must hate you

Or love you

Or both

[midnight siren]

the main reason I am afraid of applying to become an unown

I am scared of the izik pile

[hexed fog]

Many hands make light work

[hollow nimbus]

I don't hate the Izik pile because Izik knows what he's doing most of the time

[midnight siren]

true, hadn't thought of that

[regal cedar]

What's this dexentry viewer app? :o

[hexed fog]

https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/dex.html

[regal cedar]

Hmm, perhaps I'm not seeing the right options to view entries along with the sprite?

[hexed fog]

https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_spriter.html

Oh my bad

[craggy beacon]

:D

[midnight siren]

381.20:

POKENAME is incredibly selfish, refusing to grant any of its infinite wishes to anyone but itself. These wishes are often used on frivolous things, like more cheese or a cardboard box. - dex request by @scarlet fiber

[hollow tapir]

So am I. I think he said they typically don’t tend to go in depth much too, which makes it even scarier /hj

[small valley]

hm

i might as well finish writing the dex entires for all of my successful fusions

there's not many left to cover anyway

[hexed fog]

do eet! 😄

[hollow nimbus]

@hexed fog, what would you say is your average per day for submitting entries?

[hexed fog]

I have no clue lol

I always try to do at least 10

[hollow nimbus]

Hm, well, on the 27th, you did 45

*Of may

[hexed fog]

I can stop whenever I want

https://tenor.com/view/is-it-gif-20766212

[hollow nimbus]

The next day you did 79

[hexed fog]

I feel like this is an intervention lmfao

[hollow nimbus]

22 the next day

So, your average may be roughly 50 entries per day

[hexed fog]

ok so i do more than 10

[hollow nimbus]

If we all combine forces to approve more than 50 izik entries a day, we will conquer the izik pile

[hexed fog]

my input will fall off DRASTICALLY once the wild list is done

my main goal is to just make sure that gets done lol

[hollow tapir]

I should do those. Once I find cute ones lmfao

[hexed fog]

theres a ton of Piloswine, theyre cute

and vulpix

[hollow tapir]

Good idea

[hexed fog]

and thats 100 for the day

we are at 1732 yesssssss

[terse tide]

100?! I’m struggling just to get these 50 done for the diction dex

[hexed fog]

I wanna finish the wild entries by end of july

Thats my personal goal lol

[fair thicket]

I would like this entry to be changed to my original intent, if not my original words. My submission was this:

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

Noivern is described as being especially vicious. Wobbuffet is a punching bag. Someone who encounters this fusion might feel relieved because it's not something as cruel as a noivern, but since Wobbuffet has Shadow Tag, Mirror Coat, and Counter, the unlucky caver will find escape difficult.

Anyone want to help me rephrase the entry to properly communicate my intent?

[hexed fog]

Your original entry lacks dex tone :/ which is most likely why it was rephrased

Also the entry seems to reflect the intent... can you describe how it doesnt?

[fair thicket]

It implies escape is impossible because of the attacks, not because it has Shadow Tag

[hexed fog]

Most likely due to character limits, lemme look

[fair thicket]

i think my tone was meant to reflect that of these official Gengar entries

[hexed fog]

I can see that but notice how none of them use a colon

Hehe colon

[fair thicket]

okay, so change the colon to a period

[hexed fog]

Umm no you're under max characters... let's see what we can do to make this work

[hexed fog]

Not to mention there are a bunch of dex entries that break our rules... I'll summon my fellow <@&1210701164426039366>

I can help you implement shadow tag in there though since we have room

[jagged ledge]

Oh no

[regal cedar]

?

[jagged ledge]

What's up

Like where's the rule breaks?

[fair thicket]

hence why i would like the entry to communicate my intent if it can't use my wording

[hexed fog]

Ok so we need to put a shadow tag ref in

Sometimes, the sound and shape of a cave-dwelling Noivern may merely be the mimicry of a POKENAME. Attacks against it are reflected back with amplified force, making escape nearly impossible.

[fair thicket]

style rules, not server rules

[jagged ledge]

Yeah but still

[regal cedar]

The tone seems to be fine.

[fair thicket]

ah
i was told my original wording does not match the dex tone

[hexed fog]

Sometimes, the sound and shape of a cave-dwelling Noivern may merely be the mimicry of a POKENAME. Attacks against it are reflected back with amplified force, making escape nearly impossible thanks to its Shadow Tag.

How about

[regal cedar]

To me, the issue is that attacking IT makes it difficult to escape, which doesn't make much sense.

[fair thicket]

my version (up here: #dex-entries-discussion message ) or the edited version?

[jagged ledge]

I mean, it's a little too dramatic of a format. "Don't mistake your relief for safety" comes off as more nature documentary than encyclopedia.

[fair thicket]

:nodnod: ye, that's why i brought up the Gengar entries. i can amend the tone, of course.

[hexed fog]

Thats what I was talking about... and the colon lol

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, I'm now agreeing with you, sorry I was late to understand, I'm juggling a bit right now lol

[hexed fog]

What's yoyr feeling on this @fair thicket

[jagged ledge]

But wait, what do you mean "By its Shadow Tag?" Are we talking about an item or an ability? Also I second Bobo in that I question how attacking it makes you unable to escape, unless it locks you in place as part of the counter.

[hexed fog]

There's no item called shadow tag

[fair thicket]

it doesn't. they're two different thoughts

1. escape is impossible thanks to Shadow Tag (the ability)
2. Attacks against it are reflected back with amplified force

the combination of the two make the fusion a formidable threat in its own right

[jagged ledge]

Exactly why I'm confused, because you're describing "its Shadow Tag", not "its ability, Shadow Tag", which comes off as a bit specific.

[hexed fog]

Meh I'd allow it if you wanna do that

[jagged ledge]

Well the issue is that both thoughts are often conveyed in the same sentence in the revisions.

[fair thicket]

right. that's why i believe the revisions change the meaning away from my original intent

[jagged ledge]

Which is understandable, but also some revisions need to be made to fit an better organize.

[fair thicket]

I understand that, too, ye

[hexed fog]

Im confused, you didn't like it because it didnt include shadow tag or because it now does?

[fair thicket]

the revised version draws a connection between two elements that aren't connected

[jagged ledge]

How does

"POKENAME raise their wings and screech to mimic Noivern, stunning their targets in fear and leaving them unable to escape. Any attempts to fight back will be reflected back at the attacker."

sound?

[hexed fog]

But they are because you wouldn't be able to hit it to escape or run

[hexed fog]

I mean that'd work too

[fair thicket]

🤔
`"We won the game because the home team pitched well and hit a grand slam." is not the same as "We won the game because the home team pitched a grand slam"

[jagged ledge]

Anyway, Worm, we got a new revision for ya if you like it. We let a mistake slip through on our end, so now we're trying to fix it. What do you think?

[fair thicket]

Musing on it. 🤔 It does seem closer to my intent, yeah.

I still think it moves things away from the ability I was gesturing at... Hrm, lemme think on it

I guess... if we settle on this entry, I'd want it to be credited to you as well, since it's your words

[hexed fog]

We do not do collabs on dex entries 😦

[fair thicket]

Then I'd like it to be credited to Wildheart, since it's not my words

[jagged ledge]

Well the awkward thing is describing the ability is that we don't quite know how it works it's just what they do, I just think it would be better to describe a process that would be the structure of how it works.

[fair thicket]

i was thinking we could gesture to the concept by way of local legend. something like "A survivor of an encounter described their inability to escape as though ''[their] shadow was pinned to the wall''."

but i know that's also wordy and yadda yadda quotations and dex tone

still working it out

[hexed fog]

Np we will put the new revision under wildhearts name

[hexed fog]

Omg we need pokemon that would work in laundry

Or like laundromats

I cant think of a single pokemon related to soap

Like I know mincinno was big on cleaning

https://tenor.com/view/minccino-pokemon-pokemon-black-and-white-anipoke-gif-20120402

But like it isn't in pif

I guess water types or poison types?

I'd also love more firefighter entries

Like the squirtle squad did that but I feel like it doesn't really signify the species yknow?

I wonder what our focus will be once the wild stuff is done

[fair thicket]

mimikyu and its cloth?

[wary scarab]

POKENAME is often found wobbling through misty meadows, leaving behind a glittery trail of slime. Its swirling eyes are said to mesmerise opponents, causing brief bouts of confusion.

[rigid void]

how about that it states that pidgeotXpidgeot can fly at mach six bc the original dex entry says it can fly at mach 3

[ebon warren]

The only ones that wouldn't be an ethical quandary would be the Smoliv line

[ebon warren]

Maushold is the same. They have a Signature Move called Tidy Up!

[rugged socket]

Swablu doesn't like dirty surroundings and cleans things with its wings

[void bone]

In order to protect its trainer better, POKENAME donned on an intimidating appearance to scare away those who pose harm. And if that doesn't work, it will let out three terrifying barks that echoes even far out at sea.
Another possible dex entry to be added hopefullyyy
-# Fun fact: the three barks reference is from Cù-sìth (dog fairy) in Irish folklore

[midnight siren]

you can always write a dex entry that says that, just make sure to follow the dex style rules

[void bone]

It is said that POKENAME originated from the soul of a king who have failed to unite their kingdom for the long term. The sword is kept invisible and it's only shown to those who are worthy of its protection.
Done another!!
-# It may be a huge Fate reference but I tried my best to make it vague enough so it isnt referenced too heavily

A POKENAME's shield is said to be as almost impossible to break as its will to protect its trainer. Despite its appearances, it possesses a gentle and caring nature.
I swear this is the last one since I gotta clock out of my work shift
-# Look Im a big Fate fan, as you could probably tell lmao

[void bone]

Very few Goldeens and Magikarps are able to swim their way up to a waterfall in order to evolve into a POKENAME. People often seek out for this Pokémon as the sight of it is said to bring good fortune.
-# Oops I lied I swear this IS the last for today LMFAO

[hexed fog]

You can make as many entries as you want

We already have someone who averages 50 per day apparently

[ebon warren]

https://tenor.com/view/david-lynch-finger-pointing-blame-you-gif-5767528198506436267

[void bone]

OH WHEEZE
Oh dang fr tho??
I do have more ideas but Im outside perishing

[hexed fog]

Plus there's a ton of mons that need entries. Its not like we will run out lol

So please feel free to tackle the wild list

Also once you get a few approved don't worry about posting here first unless you're unsure about the wording

Like you always can but don't feel pressured

We will fix minor stuff or contact you if we notice big stuff

[void bone]

bless 🙏

[willow venture]

Quick question for the dex council

What's the best way to explain this?

I'm thinking of writing entries for this fusion's line (levels and all) and like we assume these objects the mons bring are treated just like any other mons with items right? (Blissey's egg, Happiny's rock, probably others I can't remember off the top of my head)

[hexed fog]

it frequently takes the eggs of pokemon that it thinks are abandoned and attempts to warm them in the pot it carries with it, it does it out of kindness

ok lemme quick do the other 40 for the day

[narrow cosmos]

Izik's job only ends once the wild list is done, only then can we know peace

[terse tide]

Diction Dex 3/21 is done, ill submit them now.

[jagged ledge]

Izik no fair I'm busy setting up Pride Dexdoku 2: Rainbow Boogaloo

[hexed fog]

LOL

i ended up stopping so i could clear out the entries

[muted wraith]

478.100 has weasel wording

[hexed fog]

I actually loved that one

it's so simple

Ok 50 done btw

Descend my <@&1210701164426039366> bretherin! DESCEND!

[hollow tapir]

Plz no more minior

Were all the entries reviewed? I didn’t see a winner thing this time around

[jagged ledge]

There are some entries still being edited. Results will go live either tonight around 10 EST or early tomorrow

[jagged ledge]

Whole new grid, no worries.

[hollow tapir]

Okay good cause minior made me almost quit

[jagged ledge]

I'm just working on making it is all lol

[jagged ledge]

Ouch, sorry my bad

Also let me review your entries while I'm here

[hollow tapir]

lol you’re all good it makes sense for colors but was rough

[midnight siren]

minior dex entries are so much harder than i thought they would be

[hollow tapir]

I hope my entries aren’t too bad

[midnight siren]

~~idr what your entries were ~~

[midnight siren]

i'm sure they're not

[jagged ledge]

I like the idea, but it does need to be reworded a bit. Maybe try reversing the sentences? "Many Trainers are unable to resist petting POKENAME (something about them getting hurt). POKENAME isn't a fan of getting touched, so it always seems smug when people recoil." Or something to that effect.

[hollow tapir]

Gotchu gotchu

[jagged ledge]

Also sorry about the wait, most of my time online this week was in the #1210021946105004052 Thread

[hollow tapir]

You’re all good, I know you’re busy

Was a bit worried about my stuff but it happens lol

[jagged ledge]

But you got your entries in on time, and I'm here now, so you're all good. The results won't be up for 5 hours at the earliest lol

[hollow tapir]

That one should be better

I’m just sad I can’t fully try to relate trans sylveon fusions to entries

[jagged ledge]

Instead of "if you" invade its territory, it should be "if anyone" or "if someone" invades its territory. Entries shouldn't be directed to the reader. Also you should probably say "it values its home greatly" to smooth out the wording a bit.

So as a personal rule of thumb: If you're going to describe traits that involve Pokémon of the same species, it's better to lean the entry to being written in plural. You don't need the comma after beautiful. I can get into the bulk of why later if you're curious. The last sentence feels kinda tacked on, could use some fleshing out.

[hollow tapir]

Damn I’m still not good at this

Tried to fix those tho!

[jagged ledge]

I agree the fusion appears friendly, but I tend to recommend introducing the concept within the entry rather than simply relying on assumptions. "POKENAME are friendly and social creatures, often providing (etc)." I just shifted it to plural because you describe multiple trainers having them (should either specify "a POKENAME" or change "a companion" to "companions"), but overall, the rest looks good.

[jagged ledge]

Hey it's ok, I've been in art for years and there's a lot of things I struggle with. Even I need to review my entries. You're doing well for being so new!

[hollow tapir]

Part of my brain assumes that isn’t genuine but I know it likely is genuine- ty

The tiny creature just reminded me of weighted stuffed animals so I had to

[jagged ledge]

It's definitely genuine. If I wasn't genuine, I wouldn't be in this channel lol

[hollow tapir]

Should be better now me thinks

[jagged ledge]

There's nothing wrong with needing help or being in the process of learning, the problem is stopping or refusing to learn

If you're describing the entry with "eventually" to describe something that takes place in the present, it should open with "used to struggle", not "has often struggled". I might just replace struggles in the second sentence with troubles to avoid repetition and remove that comma afterwards, but otherwise looks good.

[hollow tapir]

Oh that one wasn’t even a dex one-

It already got rejected because it was more based on sylveon trans rather than canon

[jagged ledge]

Oh, well I personally think it was alright for what it's worth.

[hollow tapir]

I couldn’t resist trying to do some identity ones when it was so trans coded

[jagged ledge]

Btw, would you be able to point me to your other Dexdoku entries and the sprites they're for? I found the Minior/Cloyster and the sturdy shell of steel, but I don't know what sprite that goes to

[hollow tapir]

This one

[small valley]

ah crap

my pikachu/weezing entry got denied

im still kinda confused on the "entry must be readable on its own", do i just tone down the part about weezing?

[hollow tapir]

What was the entry?

[small valley]

"It floats up to unstable atmospheres to collect air and moisture, eventually creating its own thunderclouds. It still feeds on foul gases, so expect these thunderclouds to contain the same toxic stench that the average Weezing expels."

I'm no meteorologist, so I just searched up how thunderclouds were made and tried.... 😅 😅

[hollow tapir]

I would likely replace at least the first it with POKENAME

and yeah it might be best to tone down on the weezing, mostly given it’s now about the fusion and not them separately

[midnight siren]

the second sentence doesnt quite fit the dex style, most obviously so expect these. Instead, something like It feeds on foul gasses, expelling a toxic stench into the thunderclouds it creates.

[hollow nimbus]

See? I told you the average was 50 per day

[small valley]

k

[midnight siren]

if you take this suggestion, I would also say that you should remove the first instance of a thundercloud mention, maybe making the first sentence more like POKENAME floats up to unstable atmospheres to collect moisture and air.

[hollow nimbus]

Hm. I would just refer to atmosphere as singular, or it may sound like it visits the atmospheres of other planets in addition to the atmosphere here

Though I am unsure of what you mean by unstable

[midnight siren]

~~remember I ain’t an unown, take all suggestions with a grain of salt ~~

[hollow nimbus]

Even Unowns make mistakes from time to time

[midnight siren]

true, but more to the point y’all have to have proven you know your stuff, y’know?

[hollow nimbus]

Other than the whole topic of 'unstable atmospheres', the entry looks good

[jagged ledge]

I would remove Given at the start and condense the first sentence a bit. "POKENAME has a hard shell of steel that can easily (etc)." The second sentence is a little odd and I'm not fully sure about saying "of sorts", but overall looks good.

[hexed fog]

I can do more but I probably shouldnt

[small valley]

yeah i guess i could remove the unstable part. like i said, i just searched up how thunderclouds were made and tried adapting as much as possible into the entry while trying to be accurate

but yeah, i'll redo the entry and see where it goes from there. hopefully before someone else does it

[midnight siren]

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

[hollow nimbus]

No reason not to
They all end up in the same place anyways

[jagged ledge]

You could replace the introductory clause with something more akin to "Having spent too long outside its shell" or something like that. Then the second sentence I would start with "The shell helps to protect POKENAME and keep its body intact, even at the depths of the ocean."

[hollow tapir]

Ty for all the help

[jagged ledge]

No worries

[midnight siren]

I mean even if someone else makes an entry, you can have multiple dex entries for 1 sprite

[small valley]

I meant to say someone editing my own entry, not really making a new entry from scratch, whoops. It happened with my Combusken/Lickitung entry one time, but I admit it could've been....phrased better

but thanks anyway for the info

[hollow tapir]

Am I allowed to just. Steal those words???? Feels wrong

[jagged ledge]

I'm an editor, it's my job to help make the entry to a point where it'll best fit the game.

[midnight siren]

201.476:

The leaves of POKENAME emit a neutralising aroma, covering nearby smells. It uses this scent to hide from predators in bushes and shrubbery. - dex request by @scarlet fiber

help with the wording would be greatly appreciated, i feel like it's slightly off

[jagged ledge]

Unfortunately I only seem to be able to find 5 or 6 of your Dexdoku entries?

[hollow tapir]

Give me a minute I might’ve not marked em

[hollow nimbus]

I can help

I think the first thing that's making it feel off is the leaves of POKENAME

'noun' of 'possessor' is very common in other languages, but in English, people use a possessive inflection more commonly

In simple speak, I think the leaves of POKENAME would sound better as POKENAME's leaves

So, now we have:
POKENAME's leaves emit a neutralising aroma, covering nearby smells. It uses this scent to hide from predators in bushes and shrubbery.

[hollow tapir]

I found my gengar one at least

[hollow nimbus]

I feel it's best to change the tense of a sentence as little as possible. emit is in a general, undefined sort of tense, while covering is a tense that means it is actively happening.
It may also read better if we change aroma, covering nearby smells to aroma that covers nearby smells.

POKENAME's leaves emit a neutralising aroma that covers nearby smells. It uses this scent to hide from predators in bushes and shrubbery.

It uses this scent to hide isn't technically incorrect, but one could also imagine the mon trying to use a scent to move itself into a less noticeable location, which doesn't feel right. We can solve this by giving the verb 'hide' an object.

It uses this scent to hide itself from predators or It uses this scent to hide its presence from predators

So, now we can compare the entry before and after modifications:
The leaves of POKENAME emit a neutralising aroma, covering nearby smells. It uses this scent to hide from predators in bushes and shrubbery.
POKENAME's leaves emit a neutralising aroma that covers nearby smells. It uses this scent to hide its presence from predators in bushes and shrubbery.

[mortal roost]

I decided to update one I did
Sprite by Trietceratops
Garchomp (Head) + Tyrantrum (Body)
A prehistoric ancestor to the modern day Garchomp, POKENAME was the apex predator of Sinnoh around 95 million years ago and it used its claws and speed to hunt prey

[hollow nimbus]

The content of the entry is the same, but it reads more smoothly by paying close attention to where and when the subjects of the entry are acting.
@midnight siren and everyone else who is reading, I hope this was sufficiently informative.

[midnight siren]

that was so good, thank you

appreciate the step by step process being shown as well

[mortal roost]

What do you guys think of this one I did?

[hollow nimbus]

This has a grammatical error that I see very, very commonly when approving entries

[small valley]

In order to create its own thunderclouds, POKENAME floats up into the atmosphere to collect air and moisture. It also feeds on dust and gases, so these clouds may contain a foul stench.

tried to make it standalone as best as i can. thinking about expanding on the air and moisture part but i don't wanna risk being inaccurate so ehhhhh

[hollow nimbus]

You can never start a sentence with an adjectival clause. This is a little-known rule.

[mortal roost]

Oh, my apologies

[hollow nimbus]

Adjectival clauses must only come after their noun

No need to apologize. Like I said, this is an extremely common mistake.

[mortal roost]

I'll make a new one

[hollow nimbus]

Hang on

[midnight siren]

i'd suggest removing "also" and "may" from the second sentence

[hollow nimbus]

I'll make the slight grammar corrections and show it to you so you can see

POKENAME, a prehistoric ancestor to the modern day Garchomp, was the apex predator of Sinnoh around 95 million years ago. It used its claws and speed to hunt prey.

[mortal roost]

This is really good. Thanks for helping me fix it

[midnight siren]

"may" i would remove as its better to say something is or isn't in a dex entry

[hollow nimbus]

I separated your entry into two sentences because I felt the change in subject from its period of existence to its hunting method was a natural place to begin a new line of thought.

[hollow nimbus]

For may contain a foul stench, I would say that it is okay to use 'may' if it only sometimes feeds on dust and gasses.

[midnight siren]

"also" mostly cause it's more used to connect 2 similar thoughts, but the first sentence and second aren't quite similar enough. (this is worded poorly, apologies)

[hollow nimbus]

However, I don't get the impression that that is your intention

[small valley]

yeah i'm not too confident on may. i can just remove it

[midnight siren]

~~maybe I shouldn’t give feedback on things I can’t explain well ~~

Sprite by Mrpaul
Charizard (Head) + Spiritomb (Body)
The rageful spirit of a rabid Charizard entered an odd keystone. It now fights anything that enters its path, no matter if they're weak or strong.

[terse tide]

Woooooooo! @hexed fog All my diction dex week 3/21 entries have been approved! (rows 27150-27195)

[hexed fog]

msg me with your request

[mortal roost]

I have a question: Are we allowed to make dex entries for triple fusions?

[hollow tapir]

My braincells I know I did all my entries

Discord I hate you

[mortal roost]

I'll update another one I did
Sprite by Michaelkai
Feraligatr (Head) + Tyrantrum (Body)
Unlike the modern day Feraligatr who is mainly a land predator, POKENAME uses its claws and jaws to eat Magikarp and Remoraid.

[hexed fog]

sorry no 😦

[mortal roost]

I'll reference the lore of the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World for this dex entry
Sprite by Bubbarottweiler
Tyrantrum (Head) + Mewtwo (Body)
Created by a few scientists for a park attraction, POKENAME is a hybrid that use Tyrantrum as a base genome and can camouflage into its surroundings

[hexed fog]

avoid entries talking about apokemon's creation

as a rule

[mortal roost]

Oh, my apologies

[hexed fog]

also dear god that sprite hase issues

[mortal roost]

I’m starting to see the issues now

[hexed fog]

looool howd that get through

sec

[hollow tapir]

And by discord I hate you I mean I forward all the sprites to here which makes my life hell

[wary scarab]

What you dont like square heads-

Or sprites that stare at you

[hollow tapir]

Im losing it

I can’t find my last entry

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, FAQ says that a fusion can't be "created" by humans, since they can also be found in the wild, but they can be "discovered" in a laboratory

[hollow tapir]

Istg did I somehow miscount?? I’m trying to look for it but can find nada

[hollow nimbus]

What is the filename for the sprite you wrote for?

[hollow tapir]

That’s the thing I don’t remember

It was marill and it knows attract

Okay maybe if I count properly it’s fine

[hollow nimbus]

I currently see four recently submitted entries from you, though there can sometimes be a delay between an entry being submitted and it appearing on the sheet

[hollow tapir]

Okay nvm I think I have all 9 and I just can’t count

I’m just stupid

[hollow tapir]

I expected marill line colors and instead found spiked seed colors

[jagged ledge]
