[brave marlin]

but i only put faces because i took a bit more inspiration from the bastiodon line

[hexed fog]

doubt youll give a flock of hoothoots

[storm light]

I wish i could see the doc on my phone but it refuses to load when i open it

[brave marlin]

probably not

actually amoured does sound better but the fusion itself isnt really armoured though

hardened faces works because it evolved so

like how a craniados would for its head

fun fact. both rampardos and bastiodon fossils have been found on top of each other

possibly after a confrontation

so these guys were checking who had a stronger skull

but probably died because they are stupid haha

holy yap

and its so quiet in here

...

wow that is actually sad

[rich goblet]

Not everyone is going to be here 24/7

[brave marlin]

yea but like everyone left all of a sudden lol

not just one person disappeared

everyone did hahahahahhaha

[vivid spire]

Just submitting everything from today/yesterday… and of course did a number error

[brave marlin]

stay strong

but yo

armored does sound better

but the pokemon itself doesnt really use armor

[storm light]

I'm not here bc i'm hanging out with my mom for a while lol

[brave marlin]

im here cause its 3 am

[brave marlin]

but thats nice

moms are goated

👍

The Pile

HATH BEEN

DEFEATED

The most recent Dex Update has been done. No update is required, this will autoroll into your game client as you start the game. Please allow a couple days for it to see the update.

ALL NATURALLY SPAWNING WILD POKEMON FOR THE DEMO AND BASE GAME SHOULD NOW HAVE AN ENTRY!

this is a big deal. you guys did a great job

[brave marlin]

you guys hard carried me for sure

#302.494:
POKENAME live in groups along coastal shores. Fiercely territorial, they drive out intruders with brutal kicks and toxin-laced tendrils that can extend three times their length. Longer tendrils command greater fear and respect.

[storm light]

Good work everyone!!

slides one more dex entry into the nonexistant pile

[dull folio]

I can’t believe it the izik pile is finally dead, I never thought this day would come

[dull folio]

Yeah real talk this is an achievement great job guys

[midnight siren]

it has no hold over us now

until the hoenn wild list is fully revealed, then izik will make 100000 more entries for us

and team sisyphus rises again

[dull folio]

We’re finally free we can leave his secret swamp dex factory

[dull folio]

I don’t want to think about that right now

[midnight siren]

i'm no longer being held at gunpoint to approve his entries

[dull folio]

Let’s celebrate the victory we have

[dull folio]

No food until we’re down to 1000

These entries won’t approve themselves

[midnight siren]

the entries are all approved for now so the queue was clear last i checked

[vivid spire]

Ahem just one brave soul added one more entry

Not I

[midnight siren]

[vivid spire]

Gotta let the Unowns rest every once in a while

[storm light]

ah man, here i was thinking about applying for unown at some point, i don't wanna stress about that

wrong message to reply to but same message box so like

[dull folio]

I can’t speak from experience but I’m sure being an unknown is great and trust me there’s no pressure on anyone this will always be a side thing

[hexed fog]

I'd love some dex entries about pokemon that hide in buried treasure chests

[regal cedar]

I'd like an entry that talks about a Fusion's relationship with another Pokémon. (Remember the entry still has to be standalone and make sense on its own!)

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/52.371/

POKENAME are found in treasure chests throughout the world and store coins in their bodies to appear like an actual purse. They find chests comfortable because of the dark and compact space.

[vivid spire]

Okay, TWO CHALLENGES?!? Well how about a SURPRISE Pokémon who loves treasure chests? Sandyeon:

#459.134: POKENAME is able to squeeze through tiny cracks due to its ability to turn into sand, mud or water. They enjoy enclosed spaces, and are found napping by treasure hunters inside treasure chests.

[vivid spire]

You know, not many entries talk about Riolu being guard Pokémon, so how about their rivalry with Rats?!?

#19.285: Never alone, POKENAME travel in groups of three, using their superior numbers to distract and steal from businesses. Due to their uncanny ability to confound humans, many shops started using Riolu to read which of the Pokémon is the real threat.

So many references I wanted to make with this one

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/77.231/

POKENAME travel alongside Donphan and Phanpy, where they are mistaken for herd members. They protect their herd from poachers with their fiery breath, while also giving POKENAME a home where they feel loved.

[radiant hemlock]

https://www.fusiondex.org/52.525/

POKENAME’s love of hunting for shiny objects often leads it to become trapped in old ruins. Would-be grave robbers will sometimes open locked treasure chests only to find a POKENAME has already laid claim to the valuables inside.

[lapis cosmos]

Already posted and accepted, but I did a few of these yesterday, so here you go and for others to be inspired:

Sableye/Torterra 421.318
POKENAME grows vast amounts of gemstones on its shell, making it a frequent target for predation by packs of Sableye. It seeks out symbiotic relationships with Fairy-type Pokémon like Mawile to protect it from Sableye.

Duskull/Skitty 311.525
POKENAME is found wandering graveyards, chasing Murkrow and Natu away. Since it feeds on frustrated emotions, it enjoys causing mischief like knocking cups to the floor or crying sharply a minute after someone falls asleep.

Zangoose/Chimchar 542.319
POKENAME has an abundance of energy, with its fiery tail slowly burning down to nothing as it expends its stamina. It is a prankster and especially targets Seviper as the victim of its practical jokes.

Gabite/Stunfisk 298.420(a)
POKENAME lies buried in wait for Flying-type prey, especially shiny ones like Skarmory, and bursts into the air with a blast of electricity to stun them. While buried, its dorsal fin pokes above the dirt, alerting observant prey to its position.

[rich goblet]

Love these so far 😄

[regal cedar]

"Real threat", as if all of them aren't? Or is this suggesting they use illusions? "Confounding" can be a bit vague

[vivid spire]

Maybe misdirecting

[vivid spire]

Maybe a little edit like so:

Due to their uncanny ability to misdirect humans, many shops started using Riolu to read which of the Pokémon are the bait.

[regal cedar]

Why are they mistaken for herd members while simultaneously protecting their herd? Are they only concerned about their own fused species and just happen to travel along?

[rich goblet]

I didn't think about that! I need to wait longer before submitting

[rich goblet]

I was thinking that the Donphan and Phanpy mistake the Pokemon for being one of their herd

[regal cedar]

I would just use "frustration" instead of "frustrated emotions", as frustration is its own emotion (although it often occurs with others)
or "emotions like frustration" perhaps, to get the emotion part clear?

[regal cedar]

OK! Let me know what you want it reworded to

[rich goblet]

POKENAME stomp alongside Donphan and Phanpy, joining them along their travels. They protect their herd from poachers with their fiery breath, and in return POKENAME have a family they can be a part of.

Does this work? 🙏

[regal cedar]

That works for me!

[rich goblet]

Whew

[hexed fog]

I would love some pokemon that take dust baths

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/27.232/

POKENAME takes dust baths daily to remove foreign objects from its hide. Without the dust baths, seeds and spores can grow into its skin and cause irritation.

[vivid spire]

A challenge that I know a little about, having chickens… THEREFORE PIDGETS!

#17.285: Still learning to stay balanced in the air, POKENAME will often teleport if it feels like it’s falling. Once on the ground, this Pokémon covers itself in dust to protect against parasites.

[radiant hemlock]

https://www.fusiondex.org/193.525/
POKENAME beats its wings to whip up dust clouds, then rolls around playfully in the dislodged dirt to keep its fur healthy and soft. Even while grooming, it stays alert to danger with its 360-degree vision.

[grizzled igloo]

#454.24: Despite being fearsome by their own rights, POKENAME tend to be insecure. They rely on their Toxapex patterned hood to scare and intimidate prey.

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1409020952594878505

[radiant hemlock]

This is sooo cute, I love the fledgling vibes

Made me want to do a bird fusion too, not a dust bath but it's dust-related lol

https://www.fusiondex.org/16.525/
POKENAME forages by quickly scratching at dry, dusty earth, then pecking the ground to snatch up dislodged seeds or Bug-types. Although many find this behavior cute, POKENAME will also kick dust into the eyes of predators to disarm them.

[brave marlin]

a little late but i think this could do
#302.494:
"POKENAME live in groups along coastal shores. Fiercely territorial, they drive out intruders with brutal kicks and toxin-laced tendrils that can extend three times their length. Longer tendrils command greater fear and respect."

though not stated in the dex entry.

"POKENAME's main source of food are Shellder they find along their territory. But while unable to crack the shell with their kicks, we found that this Pokémon's tendrils can also secrete a strong acid. strong enough to steadily break away at a Shellder's incredibly hard shell, but slowly. leading to this Pokémon to resort to collecting a small hoard of Shellder, though higher ranking POKENAME will be often gifted these Shellder as a token of respect, leading to it having larger piles than the rest of its group.

holy fucking yap

i think im a nerd

im definitely a nerd, ughhh

[hexed fog]

Remember plural of pokemon is the same

[brave marlin]

here's one for you.
#136.464
"POKENAME are calm, collected, and loyal creatures who fight fiercely to protect their trainer, using their blazing speed and the scorching rocks on their mane to sear wounds unto any threat that comes their way."

while once again not stated in the dex entry.

"POKENAME are incredibly proud of their manes, often taking dust baths just to keep it groomed and will show it off to its Trainer (what a good boy). Trainers find this behavior cute gaining this Pokémon a massive following (i mean who wouldn't like this Pokémon eh?).

[hexed fog]

Shellder is Shellder

[brave marlin]

pardon?

like capitalization?

???

im confused

[jagged ledge]

Pokémon species names are inherently plural and capital.

"A herd of Mareep" or "A flock of Pidgey"

[brave marlin]

ah thx

i didnt know

at least now i do

thx doods

[jagged ledge]

I'm confused, are you writing two different entries? Also why the parenthesis?

What do you mean by "Not stated in the dex entry"?

[brave marlin]

cause not stated in the dex entry.

the first one is the dex entry

[vivid spire]

The Words, "Dust Bath" are not used in the first entry

In the second it is made clearer

[brave marlin]

yes

[vivid spire]

The Parentheses are like Author's Notes, not included in the entry

[jagged ledge]

Alright, so it's just an extra writing prompt then?

[brave marlin]

exactly, just like the same with cradafty. you dont know it likes shellder but now its stated in here

[vivid spire]

Correct, unless I'm mistaken, he has two entry Ideas for the prompt, one is more Spelled out for the audience, one is left more vague

[jagged ledge]

Ok

[brave marlin]

no i plan on using the first one

[vivid spire]

Ahh gotcha

[brave marlin]

the second is nice but more or less just for fun speculating what this species can do.

like scientists

i think ive evolved into a geek

[lapis cosmos]

Good note! It’s already submitted and approved but I’m fine if you’d like to edit it!

[regal cedar]

https://www.fusiondex.org/124.358/

Some scientists once believed that, with the help of Rotom's ability to possess electronics, POKENAME may have allowed further study into Jynx's mysterious language. Unfortunately, POKENAME still only communicates with verbal gibberish.

[brave marlin]

ill do one more the dust baths

hehe smol mon incoming

#160.105
"POKENAME’s bone-crushing bite is difficult to break once it sinks in, locking foes in a relentless grip. Wielding a spear-like bone and unyielding spirit, it battles on, refusing to yield even against death itself."

savage little Pokémon, however.

"POKENAME though feral and dangerous. Can sometimes be observed enjoying a dust bath, but if it catches a Trainer watching it or Anyone as a matter of fact, they will be hunted down (that's terrifying, ugh i wish these dudes were more tame)."

but ig that wouldn't be realistic

[brave marlin]

#224.135
POKENAME passively generates a faint electrical charge, and when engaging in battle it uses its tendrils to amplify this power, launching an assault that makes combat with this Pokémon feel like a warzone.

[brave marlin]

#480.285
The horns on POKENAME can sense emotion, and upon detecting hostility it takes a defensive stance, hardening its body to the point where even a truck’s impact won’t faze it. Its horns then turn into spikes capable of piercing solid rock.

#481.286
POKENAME can sense the emotions of others through its horns and will try to draw out positive feelings from its Trainer. However, if it senses hostility toward them, POKENAME raises its shield and spear to confront the intruder.

#481.287
POKENAME has grown overly protective of its Trainer, and upon sensing hostility with its horn POKENAME will wield its impenetrable shield and spear to strike down any threat. Its devotion is so strong that it refuses to leave its Trainer’s side.

though i dont think i will be submitting any of these soon, not until both evolutionary lines have a fusion towards each one

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/222.92/

POKENAME surrounds itself with a bubble made of a clear, poisonous liquid. This allows it to float out of water and travel alongside its Trainer.

[vivid spire]

No early morning for me this week, due to IRL things. However, today I thought I’d take a stab at Herather:

#214.123a: POKENAME marks its territory by scraping tree bark, spending most of their day patrolling it in the air. If another of its species enters the boundary, they dive fast as lightning, grappling the foe until driving in a bladed elbow.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/421.192/

POKENAME come out of their caves at dawn to soak in sunlight. After they supercharge themselves with sunlight, they illuminate caves with their crystalline faces.

[rich goblet]

scarring trees feels a little weird here, maybe scraping against? I don't think a lot of people associate scars with trees so its a little weird IMO

[vivid spire]

Updated to “Scraping tree bark”

[radiant hemlock]

You've also got some pronoun issues in here; using "it" to refer to both the Pokemon and the territory and referring to the mon as "it" and "they" in the same sentence. My suggestion would be:

POKENAME marks its territory by scarring trees, spending most of the day patrolling the boundary from the air. If another of its species enters, it dives fast as lightning, grappling the foe before driving in a bladed elbow.

[rich goblet]

@vivid spire This is also a valid critque and should be kept in mind 😄

[vivid spire]

Probably leftover from an earlier edit, I actually swapped pretty freely between “they” and “it”. I will use your edit, as it’s correct

[brave marlin]

what about marking trees?

scraping feels off

wait nvm carve?

there are a lot of words actually that can work...

like engrave to something like symbols

and each individual having their own design

@vivid spire but ultimately its up to you

[rich goblet]

<@&306953740651462656> Could a mod delete this one too?

[brave marlin]

yea ngl wtf dis dude doing here

[rich goblet]

It's a bot

[brave marlin]

yea and its presenting a link

whoever set this bot should be executed

[rich goblet]

did you click it?!

Do not click weird links

[brave marlin]

nop

[rich goblet]

Should be taught in schools

[brave marlin]

idk

its just natural selection

[rich goblet]

Bro

[brave marlin]

you click the link and recieve a virus?

[rich goblet]

Kids play this game

[brave marlin]

you a dumass

they gotta learn

the hard way

jkjk

anyways

what do you think about

?

[vivid spire]

Chose to do “by carving tree bark”

[brave marlin]

cool

glad to be of service

#224.135
POKENAME passively generates a faint electrical charge, and when engaging in battle it uses its tendrils to amplify this power, launching an assault that makes combat with this Pokémon feel like a warzone.

the Octillery gave me such a cool vision with this fusion

just imagining this Pokémon charging up a shot and firing it out of its nozzle like a railgun just looks sick

[vivid spire]

Cool writing, and imagery, however the sentence is a run on. I would suggest putting a period between “power” and “Launching”. And the second sentence will have to be slightly modified

[brave marlin]

yea it just saw it just now.

[brave marlin]

the second sentence? how so.

[vivid spire]

“Launching an assault that makes combat with this Pokémon feels like a war zone” is not a complete thought, and requires the references from the first sentence to be included

[brave marlin]

i see

[narrow cosmos]

What appears to be a tree is just POKENAME's cleverly-disguised ejected innards. Once a small creature perches on it to rest or make a home, POKENAME sucks it back into its body for consumption.

[vivid spire]

Maybe you could change it to read more like:

“Once its power is charged, combat with this Pokémon feels like being in combat”

[brave marlin]

i beg ur pardon? combat with this pokemon feels like combat???

[vivid spire]

lol dang I’m going between spriting and editing so I’m scatter brained

Combat feels like war would be better

[radiant hemlock]

This is creepy and a little gross I love it lol

[narrow cosmos]

That's pyuku for you, always gonna be a little gross when your gimmick is "throw up your insides to smack people with"

[fresh gazelle]

Despite POKENAME's stiff body, it is able to swim by vibrating it's limbs. It becomes bigger as time goes on, while it transforms from inside the cocoon. this good?

POKENAME is very dangerous to electronic devices due to the electromagnetic waves it emits. It is constantly absorbing electrons from any nearby objects, which can causes shocks when touched. It shines and sparkles at night to become less eletrified.

[brave marlin]

#224.135
POKENAME’s cells generate a faint electrical charge. In battle, it amplifies this with its tendrils, turning the field into a warzone by firing bolts like artillery, discharging up close, and calling thunder from above. Retreating is the best option.

@vivid spire

is this any better?

im going straight to bed rn so ill check your response later.

[vivid spire]

Looks good, although I’m not 100% on the dash. That might be a Unown decision.

[fresh gazelle]

POKENAME is harmful to electronic devices due to the electromagnetic waves it emits. It constantly absorbs electrons from any nearby objects, which can cause shocks when touched. It shines and sparkles at night to become less eletrified. fixed the grammar just in case

[brave marlin]

it looks nice though the last bit seems iffy

"to become less electrified" could be better

something like "it shines and sparkles at night as a means to remove excess charge"

excess energy or electricity also work

but since this is your entry. you should decide whats best

[brave marlin]

damn really?

so like 50/50?

[vivid spire]

Depends, dashes are generally used for the combo words, in terms of sentence structure it would be a Unown call

[brave marlin]

also i have decided that sleep isnt happening

[brave marlin]

np

ill just use "by" instead

[vivid spire]

Like Abra, you need sleep to your brain

[brave marlin]

its already 4

4 am T-T

ill sleep properly later

cause its abit too late for that now.

[radiant hemlock]

The second sentence is a bit awkward, and I think introducing the cocoon earlier would help with that. Something like:

Despite the stiff cocoon surrounding POKENAME’s body, it is able to swim by vibrating its limbs. It becomes bigger as time goes on and it prepares to transform.

[fresh gazelle]

ooh, okie, thanks!

[fresh gazelle]

I mean, irl, cocoons have a transforming creature inside

it is constantly transforming

but thx!

fixed the first phrase at least

Despite its goofy looks, POKENAME is very aggressive towards anything that swims near its territory. All of the red spikes on its body are venomous, including the one found on its tail. what about this one?

[radiant hemlock]

I like it!

[fresh gazelle]

thx!

[silent palm]

I’ve got two variations, @grave sparrow helped me reword the second one

#490.53 (Gourgeist/Persian)

---

POKENAME masquerades as a spooky decoration, using its bowl shaped tail as bait. If a trick or treater takes one of its pumpkin seed coins, it snatches them up and transforms them into more coins for its hoard.

POKENAME masquerades as a spooky decoration, using its bowl-like tail to lure in unsuspecting trick or treaters. Once they grab a coin, it swiftly snatches them and turns them into more coins for its hoard.

[brave marlin]

glad to be of service

since i also did my own thing with an electric type.

#26.241:
POKENAME is a nurturing parent, often caring for young Pokémon of many species. When too much electricity builds up in its body, it becomes aggressive and hides away to safely discharge the excess.

[fresh gazelle]

ooh this is so cute

I loved it and I don't see any errors

[brave marlin]

well yes since i actually submitted this already a few days ago

[fresh gazelle]

ooh neat

[brave marlin]

its one of my earliest work

[fresh gazelle]

that's cool

idk what was my first entry, but my first sprite for PIF was Chikorita/Metapod

[brave marlin]

i see

im pretty new and my entry count is only around 25 so its easy to keep count for now

[fresh gazelle]

I mean, it's jsut I started doing entries mid making sprites

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/457.412/

POKENAME are incredibly difficult to spot in the wild and will release jolts of electricity if stepped on. This fact makes them difficult to study, and most Trainers just wear a set of Heavy-Duty Boots to absorb the shock.

<@&1210701164426039366>
I have a question about in game items being coincidentally similar to what I want to write. Should I use Captitalized Heavy-Duty Boots or the lowercase form heavy-duty boots? I read the pinned comments but I am still unsure

[brave marlin]

duck. what is you cooking in the chat my boy

oh

cool

[fresh gazelle]

so I have like, more than 100 sprites, but only a few dozens of entries

if not only a dozen

[brave marlin]

also a spriter? wow

[hollow nimbus]

It depends on what your intention is

[rich goblet]

Tiny cactus bug gets stepped on vibes

[hollow nimbus]

Do you mean boots that are heavy duty?

Or do you mean boots that can be used as an item for the purposes of Heavy Duty Boots?

[hexed fog]

#dex-entries-discussion message

[brave marlin]

i think i can do a bit of art but i havent really polished my techniques nor have i done pixel art

so i think ill just lay off for now

[fresh gazelle]

that's fair yeah

[hollow nimbus]

Unrelated to your question, I think replacing your conjunction and with the conjunction so will improve your entry.

• In the second sentence, I mean

[rich goblet]

I was going after the boots being heavy duty, so I think its lowercase?

[brave marlin]

but i think i can see myself doing it so maybe will see each other there then lol

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, that would be the way

[rich goblet]

Thanks everybody 😄

[hollow nimbus]

I'm off to go break some more hearts and dreams
(judging the dex contest)

[rich goblet]

OH

[brave marlin]

yikes

[rich goblet]

I forgot that was a thing

I know I submit for it but I did that ages ago

[brave marlin]

i never knew lol

[rich goblet]

I get the event pings just in case writing events show up

[brave marlin]

im too lazy and too hung up on making dex entries so i just ignore them sometimes

[rich goblet]

No no, the event was writing for specific lines of dex entries, you would have loved it

[brave marlin]

probably

ok now i feel like ass for not checking events.

[rich goblet]

It's okay, they happen from time to time

I'll let you know about the next one when it comes around

[brave marlin]

i definitely wouldve loved it!

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/366.282/

Question-- Does this look like a rain drum kinda?

[brave marlin]

absolutely! this brain of mine is raring to go!

[rich goblet]

I was thinking about rain drums and was wondering if it looks like one to anyone else

[brave marlin]

give me a sec ima switch pcs

actually a minute

actually nvm

[brave marlin]

its a stretch

[rich goblet]

You ever seen a rain drum?

https://tenor.com/bcDZN.gif

[brave marlin]

i did look it up and ig they should me something different

[rich goblet]

You see the vision too right?

[brave marlin]

but only shape wise

i do

[rich goblet]

Okay I'm not crazy, good

[brave marlin]

but it seems like a stretch ngl

i see it. just personally wouldn't do anything about that fact

but ill say, this is your dex entry duck

if you see it

then lean towards it

[rich goblet]

I usually try to check my ideas because sometimes other people don't see it and then I wonder if it makes sense at all lol

One time I thought a pokemon's flippers resembled coins and I had a whole confusing conversation, was fun tho

[brave marlin]

i can see why

i have a similar way for making entries

Sprite, dex entry and movepool/abilities

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/366.282/

POKENAME rests below downspouts after a heavy rain, as the water would bounce off its dome-shaped head like a rain drum. It produces an ethereal ring with every drop, producing a melody that is rumored to awaken the dead.

[brave marlin]

are usually my sources

[rich goblet]

Just a silly lil guy casually awakening the dead

[brave marlin]

i think it would be more understandable to say that its head shape is the casue rather the body, no?

[brave marlin]

yee

[rich goblet]

Good point

Dome-shaped head does sound better too

[brave marlin]

yea cause you put in bounces of its body which becomes a full on stretch to me

[brave marlin]

right?

glad i can help

[rich goblet]

No thank you for saying something

[brave marlin]

its a pleasure

hey im about to pop off rn

[rich goblet]

Rest well

[brave marlin]

oop no im not hopping off

haha

[rich goblet]

Oh you're getting locked in pop off

Not pop off for the night

[brave marlin]

ive been using the showdown website to look for a pokemon with a decent sprite and viability

so i can make it have a story per say

and rn i have 7 loaded in the chamber

i havent made entries yet, but id like someone to read them once theyre made

[rich goblet]

You can always post them here and when I have discord up I'll give them a smack

[brave marlin]

absolutely

[rich goblet]

I don't always have discord up/open on shared devices though but i try

[brave marlin]

let me make 1 rn

[rich goblet]

cool cool

[brave marlin]

speedrun style

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/320.458/

POKENAME produces flames from each of its spines, which wicks moisture out of its body. As a result, its reddish-brown skin is almost entirely dry, and tough to cut through.

[brave marlin]

one gas leak and this fusion is gone

#452.313
POKENAME is gentle and caring, often seeking lost souls to guide home by taking them into its pliant body and traveling through dimensions. Its hug is said to be soothing and soft, calming even the weariest souls.

its so cute

its fusion name is Benoir!

[rich goblet]

I like it, but will hold off on greenlighting it until someone else comes along

It's a very cute Benoir

[brave marlin]

an absolute tank competitvely too

its a win win

#377.12
POKENAME is a brutal Pokémon, striking down anything that moves, though it loves honey and constantly seeks it. It has a single brain, but its tail sports a head with no cognitive function, which it uses to destroy anything in its path.

another feral one cause why not

though as much as im concerned, the hydreigon line is crazed but not because it chooses to.

stated in the dex entry "It’s said that Hydreigon grew ferocious because people in times long past loathed it, considering it to be evil incarnate and attacking it relentlessly."

so basically Hyfree (its fusion name) are severely misunderstood Pokémon that have long chosen to be aggressive towards anything, because its a defense mechanism.

sad

[rich goblet]

This has a lot of ideas that could be rearranged to paint a more cohesive picture. Right now a lot of features that you mention seem random

[brave marlin]

ye

was sleepy

ik i could do better

[rich goblet]

You really need to fix your sleep

[brave marlin]

ye

ok now i think i know what to do, but rn ima just rest up just a moment

[brave marlin]

#377.12
Once a calm Pokémon, POKENAME was relentlessly attacked for the poison dust on its wings, which in small doses has medicinal properties that numb pain. Now in a constant state of rage, POKENAME consumes and destroys anything that moves.

i think i made this pokemon an entry in my dream

but i forgot

but i think i remember that it was dark type

POKENAME is an interesting Pokémon, wearing handmade armor resembling that of Chesnaught. Though shy, it shows great valor, protecting anyone in danger. However, if its armor is damaged, it will hide itself, presumably to repair it.

[rich goblet]

You don't have to tell the player its interesting, you're supposed to fill the entry with something interesting

[brave marlin]

though for this one i did go for a observation feel with it since mimikyu but maybe yeah?

actually yeah

let me comeback to that after

#293.456
Though small, POKENAME is a proficient fighter, nimble, smart, and surprisingly heavy. It exploits an opponent’s weak spot with a flurry of flashy moves, often leaping from above to end battles with a pin that never fails to entertain.

coming into the ring is everyone's favorite champion. METALUCHA!!

this fusion is sick

love how it feels

and looks

the John Cena of the Pokémon world

[rich goblet]

First, remove often. It’s a fluff word that you don’t need

Second, before nimble, you need some way to transition between ideas. Like…

Though small, POKENAME is a proficient fighter, as it is nimble, smart, and surprisingly heavy.

This way you don’t suddenly shift topics in a way that is hard to read

[brave marlin]

yea ive got wiggle room

243 characters after the changes i think its better now

#293.456
Though small, POKENAME is a proficient fighter as it is nimble, smart, and surprisingly heavy. It exploits an opponent’s weak spot with a flurry of flashy moves, ending battles with a pin after leaping from above that never fails to entertain.

[rich goblet]

(Comma) Which never fails

[brave marlin]

good catch

[rich goblet]

Also, I notice you lack of lot of transition words whenever I check your grammar, I’d read up on that

[brave marlin]

i see

[rich goblet]

Yeah transition words are important because it lets readers know how information relates to each other

[brave marlin]

i think it may because im trying to fir a whole ass documentary into a 250 word

i usually end up around 240 character every entry

[rich goblet]

You don’t have to, a simple snapshot is fine

[brave marlin]

yea that's what ill do for miminaught

[rich goblet]

You do try to fit a lot in an entry, which is fine but makes it hard to trim down

[brave marlin]

yea, ig i can say its my stuggle

[rich goblet]

It’s alright, I struggle with plurality stuff, we all have our weakness

[brave marlin]

dex entries dont really do pokemon justice

i hate a lil bit

[rich goblet]

I mean, they fun little blurbs, like what you would see in a nature documentary

They also don’t have much gameplay impact

It’s more for headcanon lore

[brave marlin]

honestly for fun i think i should actually write a documentary for one if the guys ive given a dex entry

though idk who

who gets your attention

[rich goblet]

Last one looks really cool

[brave marlin]

they are all cool but i just cant be biased towards one

i feel like im betraying them if i do so

if its alright can you choose?

[rich goblet]

I already chose

Did you read what I posted?

[brave marlin]

ah still like that one more eh

i was asking again since i had more and you might choose something else but ig no need

[rich goblet]

Oh

Yeah same one

[brave marlin]

just to be clear.

this one right?

aight

[rich goblet]

You take care John Cena, I need some reps

Sleeps

Autocorrect be lacking

[storm light]

#496.290
POKENAME sleeps in ponds during the day, camouflaging every part of its body except for the lily pad on its head. It is very skittish and will run away to hide if it senses danger.

#103.154
Immature leaves on POKENAME's body have a very strong odor that many Pokémon dislike, acting as a natural Repel. Scientists are now looking to add these leaves to existing Repel recipes to strengthen them.

[storm light]

#284.229
POKENAME packs lurk in swamps, carefully watching anything they spot in their territory. During hunts, a small group of POKENAME will break off and burrow into the ground, only to ambush the prey as it's chased into them by the others.

[storm light]

#311.145
POKENAME is considered to be a harbinger of doom after a famous bridge it was seen flying over collapsed. Many Trainers have sought after this Pokémon, only to swear off further encounters with fear in their eyes.

[summer saffron]

do you mean “Many trainers have sought after this Pokemon”?

or these

[storm light]

my brain when it adds a word i didn't put down

[summer saffron]

Also the first part makes it seem like a singular pokemon instead of a species

if that makes sense

[storm light]

I understand, however I also considered the aspect that its Zapdos half is a legendary, making it extremely rare

it's possible they only have irregular reports of one

Do you think it might be better if I change it to one? /gen

hmm, may need to think it over more in the morning, it's very late where i am

[summer saffron]

Yes, but I’m not a good authority on this so you should get a second opinion

[storm light]

Alright I'm currently wordsing it out with my bf amd we came up with this instead

#311.145
POKENAME is considered to be a harbinger of doom after various disasters occurred directly after sighting them. Many Trainers have sought after these Pokémon, only to swear off further encounters with fear in their eyes.

[summer saffron]

“due to various disasters that occurred after sightings” may be cleaner phrasing?

[brave marlin]

@rich goblet ill dm you the thing

sleep tight

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEDisY-UaS44v_kBY8tNA4qmVEP6fToEKTzBPN_bcro/edit?usp=sharing 75/100 entries complete 🎉

[candid sentinel]

Just submitted one for this angel

POKENAME can store several thousand volts worth of electricity in their cheeks. When this happens, they often get excited and run around continuously until they discharge.

[brave marlin]

cute entry

[candid sentinel]

I joined in :>

[rugged socket]

Love it! It's very wholesome

[brave marlin]

@rugged socket

[rugged socket]

Yes boss

[brave marlin]

how tf do i add the pic???

#140.412
POKENAME are known to feed on electricity and are often seen latched onto Pikachu. Surprisingly, the two share a symbiotic relationship as Pikachu must constantly discharge excess electricity, providing POKENAME with a steady food source.

ive added the text but idk how to do shit after that

i give up.

[candid sentinel]

Insert>Image>Image over top of cell

Then resize to the cell

[rugged socket]

Yep, or just put the sprite number in and I can do it:)

[brave marlin]

that would help, thx

[candid sentinel]

5 contributions

Outing myself as a torterra enjoyer with 4/5 being them... but they needed love!

[dark aurora]

Hordes of POKENAME gather and hide near beaches where Corsola have been spotted. They bury themselves in sand and when a Corsla gets to close they attack

Thats my idea

Do whatever you want people

[rugged socket]

Why don't you want to take credit, that is a solid entry

[dark aurora]

It is?

Is there any errors?

[brave marlin]

@vivid spire

i was about to make a entry for big grin fearow

you beat me to it

sadge

[dark aurora]

Ykw I'll submit it for shits and giggles

[brave marlin]

ill just post it here to share this wonderful bird

#101.22
POKENAME have ruthless hunting tactics and can often be observed soaring high before plummeting at breakneck speeds. Using the electricity stored within their bodies, they unleash a violent explosion upon impact.

hehe kamikaze bird

[dark aurora]

Realized it has an entry

[rugged socket]

It should be too close

[dark aurora]

That things gonna bomb my hous

[brave marlin]

wouldve loved to see that happen

[rugged socket]

You can submit an additional entry if the current one isn't by the spriter

[dark aurora]

Auto spliced entry?

[sonic tusk]

448.488 (Regice/Many letters) [The heart of its shell is incredibly unstable, requiring temperatures near absolute zero to keep it from violently exploding. The light it gives off refracts off POKENAME's icy frame to make a wonderful display of brilliant colors.]

[brave marlin]

brooo @vivid spire has been grinding the dexslog

[brave marlin]

potential nuke

put that thang in the governers house

[rugged socket]

Auto-spliced means it doesn't have an entry

[dark aurora]

Epic

Is the code #454.282

[rugged socket]

Nearly, 454.282.png

[vivid spire]

I was, until I decided to try spriting

[brave marlin]

brooo

i was about to do big grin fearow and when i was about to claim you did

[past inlet]

hello there

[vivid spire]

General Kenobi

[brave marlin]

dude you have 36 entries submitted can i have this one???

[past inlet]

you guys actively update the dex??

[brave marlin]

#101.22
POKENAME have ruthless hunting tactics and can often be observed soaring high before plummeting at breakneck speeds. Using the electricity stored within their bodies, they unleash a violent explosion upon impact.

kamikaze bird dude

[past inlet]

it's fearow + something

[brave marlin]

electrode

[past inlet]

what is the 2nd mon???

[brave marlin]

known to explode themselves for fun

[past inlet]

yeah the explosion part

[brave marlin]

i thought it was a great feature

[past inlet]

shoulda thought so

i saw some omega cursed miltank fusions

[vivid spire]

We do, the Unowns make sure our entries are added pretty regularly. It takes Fusiondex.org a bit to catchup

[brave marlin]

always miltank

its a given

[past inlet]

so you guys actively discover new fusions and the game devs update the game adding it to the dex?

[vivid spire]

I wouldn’t mind if you took the space

Tbh

[past inlet]

i thought it would be like the general pokemon game where all fusions and all possible mons would be in the dex

[brave marlin]

I love you dood

[vivid spire]

Just make sure to ping @rugged socket

[rugged socket]

It's all good

[brave marlin]

about taking the claim?

[past inlet]

MandJTV has justified hate ngl

[rugged socket]

Just update the claimsheet

[brave marlin]

oh hey

[rugged socket]

As long as you both happy

[brave marlin]

thx

ik i am

kamikaze bird

boutta hit the third tower

[rugged socket]

It's a sick entry haha

[vivid spire]

I am, I will get back to the Dex slog after getting more feedback on three sprites

[vivid spire]

We do not make the sprites, but we find sprites that do not currently have dex entries, and write them for the game

[past inlet]

oh so all sprites already exist it's just giving a description

ngl it'd be fun discovering a "new fusion"

[vivid spire]

Correct, though anyone who makes a sprite get priority if they want to write their own entries

[past inlet]

damn this seems fun

[vivid spire]

And it is fun discovering fusions and writing about them…. After all there are already 140,000+ in game

[past inlet]

apparently the infinite fusion site was a scam?
i saw a reddit thread where someone said join the discord to install the game

[brave marlin]

electrow might be might favorite fusion now

[past inlet]

its color scheme looks like delibird too

[brave marlin]

its rad, it explodes and it can fly

[rugged socket]

Correct, go here for game https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/926866111948001341

[brave marlin]

3 things that make one hell of a combo

[past inlet]

thanks
will do

[brave marlin]

oh new dude? pleasure to meet ya

[past inlet]

imagine if you fused kyogre groudon and rayquaza

[brave marlin]

absolute cinema

[past inlet]

yeah i have seen some infinite fusion playthrough content though

[brave marlin]

would probably end the world though

[past inlet]

you know what would be absolute cinema?
bidoof + arceus

the god of all pokemon being fused with the true god

[brave marlin]

same but i joined a bit sooner than you by not much really

[past inlet]

oh i see

the devs must have had a nightmare

[brave marlin]

???

[past inlet]

well they had to make 200k+ sprites

wouldn't exactly call it easy work

[brave marlin]

not really, we have spriters making the sprites

and even before that there are also auto gen sprites

[gentle frost]

To be clear, there is only one actual game dev. About 7000 different community artists contribute sprites.

[past inlet]

very interesting

[gentle frost]

May be more than 7000, actually.

[brave marlin]

autogenerated sprite that tbh suck

[past inlet]

makes sense then

yea

[gentle frost]

Looking it up, there are currently 7,617 different sprite artists logged total.
Though in future #general or #playthrough-talk is better for this conversation.

[past inlet]

yea my bad

[candid sentinel]

@rugged socket I'm having a blast filling this out

[vivid spire]

It really is fun going through the prompts for the Dex slog

[rugged socket]

Very glad to hear that, might be able to finish it by the end of the day

[candid sentinel]

Think I could get away with a reference to Delivery Man Klaus in a dex entry?

Not sure if that violates any rules

[rugged socket]

You could reference it, but make sure that it makes sense to someone that has no idea what you're referencing and still fits in the world

[candid sentinel]

I'll workshop it here before submitting

Was considering this guy:

It's just Regice in a hat...

[hidden valve]

GOOBER

[dark aurora]

Delice

[hidden valve]

relibird

[dark aurora]

Noo

[past inlet]

i find this oddly cute ngl

[dark aurora]

Thats worse

[hidden valve]

LOL

[dark aurora]

Okay back to doing my job

Ta ta

[candid sentinel]

boooo 👎

[hidden valve]

ah yes yuri my beloved

[candid sentinel]

Ok I found the angle

https://cdn.fusiondex.org/bj3Fy1wxqq0w8SLUTueEN187/dn/pif/448.243.png

POKENAME can move at the speed of lightning. When on a straight path, it can accelerate near infinitely. Unfortunately, due to the low friction of its icy body, it can't take corners and will often come to an abrupt stop by hitting obstacles.

[brave marlin]

connecting empoleon to pikachu is challenging

but its fun ig

#25.324
POKENAME are regal Pokémon that enjoy leading, but they are often berated for their short stature, which hurts their pride and can cause them to lash out. Fortunately, they find acceptance among Pikachu, bringing POKENAME joy and companionship.

its so cuteee!

[vivid spire]

@rugged socket since it seems the Dex slog is almost done, I thought I’d throw my hat into the ring for a Wooper that is used behind the camera… LANPER:

#171.194: POKENAME enthusiastically dig on beaches, using their whiskers to light up when they tunnel especially deep. Due to their natural brightness, movie studios use them for extra lighting.

[candid sentinel]

4 left

[brave marlin]

im coming in hot with 2 porygon2 entries

#497.233
POKENAME are unofficial versions of Porygon, installed with artificial intelligence. They have been observed displaying emotions and become highly energetic when festive music plays. Even in the absence of music, they will create their own rhythms.

green porygon2

done

[rich goblet]

Why is it an unoffical version of Porygon?

[vivid spire]

You know what would make it funny… if it was an escaped electric Piñata

[brave marlin]

not released to the world like real porygon

[rich goblet]

But... its in front of you presumably...

[brave marlin]

the introduction of fusion led to its birth

like mass produced

[rich goblet]

I'm not sure how I feel about it... Doesn't make sense to me

[brave marlin]

idk but it does for me though.

but i since

nvm my brain is malfunctioning

like play testing

[rich goblet]

You don't have to explain yourself

[brave marlin]

yea

the dex has to explain itself

[rich goblet]

Nevermind, I'm still waking up, y'all help John Cena out

[vivid spire]

How about:

POKENAME congregate around festivals, showing developed emotional artificial intellegence.”

[brave marlin]

ok i can build from that

what about this?

#497.233
POKENAME are man-made and equipped with intelligence that allows them to display emotions. They are often accompanied by festive music and can be seen energetically dancing to it. In the absence of music, they will create their own beat and rhythm.

@vivid spire

[vivid spire]

It is better, however the man-made portion might get flagged as an Origin story, breaking a FAQ

[brave marlin]

ill just try something else

[vivid spire]

It’s well written, I don’t want you to think I’m being critical of the writing, it is just a nitpick the Unowns have denied my entries for in the past

[brave marlin]

its only really because i want the porygon side to emphasized

[candid sentinel]

To be fair, Porygon2's maingame dex entry often mentions it was made by humans?

[brave marlin]

it is

[rich goblet]

Yes, and the Unowns have a long list of FAQs that they have to follow per frog (all hail the dev-king)

[candid sentinel]

all hail

[brave marlin]

ughh

sadge

[vivid spire]

All hail

[rich goblet]

I'm still waiting for the coffee to kick in so I'm not jumping in much

[brave marlin]

i feel like combusting as an Electrode would

light me up

[candid sentinel]

Where does one find the FAQs to avoid making a mistake?

[hollow nimbus]

This can easily be allowed by replacing POKENAME are with The first POKENAME to be discovered were

[candid sentinel]

Asking for a friend (the friend is me)

[brave marlin]

ill see what i can do

[hollow nimbus]

The FAQs are on the dex entry spreadsheet

[rich goblet]

It's in the document itself
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey#gid=1870730174

[brave marlin]

thx for that

[candid sentinel]

My bad

[rich goblet]

You can also see what entries have been approved and other good nuggets of info

[vivid spire]

Just don’t check the responses on mobile, it will generally crash

[rich goblet]

Yeah its a BIG file

[vivid spire]

Or melt your battery life

[hollow nimbus]

The sheet is huge

[brave marlin]

just like mine

jkjk

[rich goblet]

Hey RealThree, can I DM you something funny?

[hollow nimbus]

Uh, okay

[brave marlin]

sends a link thats acually a terabyte bomb

[vivid spire]

The ones I’ve been flagged for the most (which I’ve only had 7 entries I’ve had to rewrite/resubmit) are Changing Game Lore (it was a Mewtwo fusion), Origin Story, and Violence

[brave marlin]

yea ik the violence one

[hollow nimbus]

Origin stories are technically a subset of changing game lore

[vivid spire]

All FAQ 9, correct?

[brave marlin]

ig that power really isnt in my reach

[candid sentinel]

I think mine have been okay so far? Slightly worried about this one though:
POKENAME is uniquely designed to perform long-term space exploration and xenoscientific research. Harnessing cosmic background radiation to maintain function, POKENAME searches the galaxy to verify signs of life within the known universe.

[hollow nimbus]

I don't have the numbers memorized; I'd have to check

[vivid spire]

The origin part may sound better as “uniquely adapted to perform”

[rich goblet]

A personal touch

POKENAME is well-equipped to perform...

And so on and so forth

[brave marlin]

wait

then

[vivid spire]

And the second nitpick is the second POKENAME can be replaced with “it” or “this Pokémon”

[candid sentinel]

I've already submitted the incorrect one so should I just wait for rejection? ^^'

[brave marlin]

#287.275
POKENAME are modified Porygon created to guard their Trainer by sensing impending danger. They can read emotions and serve as loyal companions, though their clingy nature can overwhelm at times.

is this ok??????

[vivid spire]

Not necessarily, you can go to #custom-dex-errors and follow the pinned comment to correct the submission

[candid sentinel]

Ah, thank you

[brave marlin]

i think my heart wants to rest a bit

like stop entirely

[vivid spire]

Every day you say how tired you are, and you need to sleep!

[brave marlin]

no not tired this time

i feel heartbroken

like i just hit a massive wall

[vivid spire]

Remember, your writing brings unique perspective to the Dex, and you are an important part of this group

[rich goblet]

I'm worried John Cena gonna get a heart attack sometimes, like this isn't that serious

It's a hobby, and life comes first y'know

[brave marlin]

yea ik, but im feeling things not normal

ughhh

[brave marlin]

legit feels like that rn

[brave marlin]

so is this ok?

ive already submitted it and if its not ima just drop this one

[rich goblet]

It might get through, and if not we can cross that bridge when we get there

[hollow nimbus]

Sorry about the delay
FAQ 9, 14, and 16 all impose limits on origin-story-type entries

[vivid spire]

Thank you!

[brave marlin]

ill die eternally if it does

[hollow nimbus]

Primarily FAQ 14, though:
"Should the means / method of natural fusion ever be described, or should it be kept vague how it happens?"
"The fact that it can happen on its own the wild can be mentioned, but the specifics should be kept vague"

[brave marlin]

i was so proud of this one too since its one of my first entries

the 5th to be exact

[rich goblet]

Mistakes aren't the end of the world, you're fiiiiine

[brave marlin]

nuh uh

im exploding this day

[hollow nimbus]

But I need this day
Don't explode it

[brave marlin]

ugh ig ill get through it

[candid sentinel]

If any of my other entries have issues, grateful if you could let me know 🙂 Want to be able to contribute properly

(Not asking you to review me spcifically, just if you happen to spot a mistake)

[brave marlin]

oh yea, but i think i will though

ill do it for free

[rich goblet]

Remember that usernames are entirely in lowercase

jadey.1557

[candid sentinel]

oh oops

[rich goblet]

The autoparse system doesn't like capitalized names

[candid sentinel]

that one will come up a few times

my bad

[rich goblet]

Yeah, just warning you in advance, you're good

[brave marlin]

#497.233
POKENAME are accompanied by festive sounds, which bolster their power. Even in the absence of music, they will create their own, keeping POKENAME at full power at all times.

short and simple

[rich goblet]

Short and simple \o/

[brave marlin]

surprising eh

coming from me

of all people?

[rich goblet]

Yeah, it is actually

Now go to sleep ya goober

[brave marlin]

i had no choice T_T

but to let go of my old ways

[brave marlin]

after i finished the last one i claimed in the dexslog

just porygon2 again

but reference speed

i hope theres a lightning mcqueen sprite

it would be perfect

[candid sentinel]

POKENAME are desert scavengers that use their long neck and beak to access food other Pokémon can't reach. When they spot a potential meal, they will conserve energy by gliding in wide circles until an opportunity presents itself to swoop in.

This okay?

[rich goblet]

I like the vulture idea you got going, and the grammar looks good (at least to me, not the best person for that)

[candid sentinel]

Appreciate it!

[vivid spire]

Had an idea for Delixen, though not sure about Search and Rescue capitalization:

#225.483: In the coldest reaches of Kalos, POKENAME is revered by small villages. Using a candy cane wand, it ensures heating fires stay lit, while pulling necessary food from its bag. Other regions have taken to using this Pokémon for Search and Rescue.

[candid sentinel]

Oh I like that

[rich goblet]

is there another meaning of reaches that I don't know about?

[candid sentinel]

It's a literary term for places a long way away. That sort of thing

[rich goblet]

Ooooh I see

[vivid spire]

According to the dictionary, when reach is a noun:

[candid sentinel]

I'm claiming the last DexSlog slot

[rich goblet]

I learned a new word today 😄

[vivid spire]

Ghost lore of the day: the only reason I know so many words is my family forced me to play Boggle growing up…. Hours and hours in the dictionary

[rich goblet]

I used to watch a lot of animal planet and other nature documentaries so plant and animal ones come naturally to me

[brave marlin]

#325.233
POKENAME are incredibly slow, to the point that they seem almost incapable of motion. However, due to the powerful magnetism of their bodies, their noses always point north, and they are often seen making subtle expressions.

[vivid spire]

It’s Squidward’s house!

[brave marlin]

same for me, i find biology nice

[rich goblet]

OMG IT IS SQUIDWARD'S HOUSE

lmaoooo

[brave marlin]

i had to pull it out

i saw it while scrolling through fusions for porygon2

sadly

no mcqueen T-T

[rich goblet]

no vroom vroom

[brave marlin]

unfortunately yes...

and with the finalization of my last entry

i jonclyd

will properly sleep tonight

[candid sentinel]

Go forth and snooze

Ta-daaaaa~

[vivid spire]

My final tally, 36!

[candid sentinel]

MVP

[vivid spire]

Also, random idea for Shedphox:

#289.484: Dismissed as a hollow husk, POKENAME becomes active when it senses no humans around. It twirls its staff, bathed in ghostly psychic light, attracting Bug types. While they are mesmerized it strikes, using its armor penetrating proboscis to feast.

[rich goblet]

221.129.png

POKENAME swim in icy cold waters with a layer of fur to keep themselves warm. They have tufts of fur over their underdeveloped eyes, which protect them from bright lights.

[rugged socket]

Wow well done everyone for completing the DexSlog, great effort, some incredible entries in there!! Would love to know if you have any feedback on it, how to make it better, things you didn't understand etc., and if you want another one to work through. Also, @vivid spire for most contributions you get a prize - a dex submission of your choice 🎉

[vivid spire]

I would like to see a dex submission for #214.59, Heranine!

Feedback; I really really enjoyed this. The entry prompts helped me to flesh out the Fusion world in my head, and also gave me ideas for Pokémon I generally don’t write for (Wooper).

I know this is just starting, I absolutely want another Dex slog. I know for this round you asked for peoples’ favorites. Maybe in preparation for the next we could have a poll to drive more writers to join in!

[soft flicker]

I didn't have the opportunity to add something to the list, but the idea of Pokémon helping humans in everyday situations / on the job, like the filmset promt, was really fun to think about. I would love to have such promts in the next Dex slog

(Maybe something like service (animal) Pokémon?)

Anyway, I have this fusion today, because I wanted something to do with steam cleaning XD
Is there a better name in English for Clothing Cleaning Shops?

Torkoal/Spheal - Toreal
POKENAME are very docile creatures, spending their days drinking a lot of water and boiling it inside their bodies, turning it into scalding steam. (Clothing cleaning shops?) like to have a few POKENAME on hand, to easily dewrinkle clothes with their steam.

[rich goblet]

Dry cleaners are the place you are looking for, quite ironically

[vivid spire]

Only on small nitpick, their body should be, “Their bodies”

[sacred stream]

Using boiled water at a dry cleaner

Idk why that's so funny to me

[soft flicker]

Google told me dry cleaning is done with chemicals rather than with water/steam so I was confused

[rich goblet]

I know, I was confused when I first learned too

[vivid spire]

They are the deep cleaning companies, and I could see them using this Pokémon to press clothes

[rich goblet]

Dry Cleaner's like where you get suits washed, its just a name

[soft flicker]

So is it "Dry cleaning businesses like to...."

[rich goblet]

I don't really know of other places that do it, maybe you could say house cleaners use them to iron clothes

Laundry workers enjoy having a few POKENAME on hand to iron and dewrinkle clothes with their steam?

@soft flicker I finally found what we're looking for, its laundry worker

[soft flicker]

Yea laundry workers sounds better

Torkoal/Spheal - Toreal
POKENAME are very docile creatures, spending their days drinking a lot of water and boiling it inside their bodies, turning it into scalding steam. Laundry workers enjoy having a few POKENAME on hand to iron and dewrinkle clothes with their steam.

: D

[rich goblet]

Looks good IMO, maybe a minor mistake at most but I can't spot it

[candid sentinel]

Well, I only joined in today but found it to be lots of fun. Having the prompts to think about really helped me to find a place they might fit in the world. It's made me more attached to some of the mons, honestly. I would enjoy joining for the next one!

[rich goblet]

POKENAME burrow themselves along the ocean floor, hiding until the right moment to ensnare aquatic Pokémon with their tentacles. Their sandy heads and seaweed tentacles are well adapted for the ocean depths.

Is this too generic? Need an opinion on this

[candid sentinel]

I would say the ideal amount of generic?

That sounds bad but I mean it in a good way

Like, gives info about it that conjures an image of how it would exist outside of a trainer's care

[rich goblet]

Okay good, that’s the idea

[candid sentinel]

That auto-spliced dex entry is weirdly specific

[storm light]

What would be considered too generic?

[candid sentinel]

"It likes to fly around and perch in trees"

idk

[storm light]

Okay so less descriptive and less report sounding

[candid sentinel]

I'm new, don't listen to me

[storm light]

Nah i like to get opinions from everyone, lets me see diff perspectives

[rich goblet]

No that’s exactly it, like all bird pokemon can do that

I found a change I wanted to make

@candid sentinel What do you think of it now?

[candid sentinel]

hit me

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/459.73/

POKENAME burrow themselves along the ocean floor, hiding until the right moment to ensnare aquatic Pokémon with their tentacles. Their sandy heads and seaweed tentacles are well-adapted for the ocean depths.

[candid sentinel]

Ah, okay - referencing the design. I like that. It still has the image of it being an ambush predator and it addresses their environment adaptation.

[rich goblet]

Good! Thanks for the feedback

[storm light]

#372.154
POKENAME's neck flower produces a spicy aroma that irritates the nose. It uses its large wings to blow this scent towards opponents to disorient them before attacking.

[candid sentinel]

I like that one too Chibi

[rich goblet]

Emit is more for light, if you can fit releases I would use that word instead

[candid sentinel]

imagery of how it uses it's powers is always a nice touch

or 'produces' if you like

[rich goblet]

Yeah true

[storm light]

It's usually what i go for when writing, I like thinking about how they function in thw wild

[candid sentinel]

Also the fire typing being the source of the spiciness

Thematic, tick tick

[storm light]

I thought about adding in embers alongside the aroma but idk, i like it how it is

[rich goblet]

It does go well together yeah

[candid sentinel]

Yeah, less is more

[rich goblet]

Remember there’s eventually going to be like 500k of these, so a singular masterpiece might not be something people ever look at

[candid sentinel]

for real

[rich goblet]

Or however many pokemon combos I forget the math

[storm light]

Of course, but I like to think about the idea i'm playing the game, either IF or IF Hoenn and come across a dex entry i made

Or seeing playthroughs that have them. It's a small thing but it still feels nice to put work into something i enjoy

[rich goblet]

I totally get that

[storm light]

And this makes the brain work anyway, I love creative writing

[rich goblet]

I’m just saying for me, perfection kills a good entry

[candid sentinel]

Thats my fave part

[rich goblet]

Creative writing makes me happy

[candid sentinel]

small creative writing bursts are like candy to me

[rich goblet]

So true

[storm light]

I just feel bad that a lot of the customs i come across just don't give me inspiration lol

Specifically ones that have less natural pokemon like Solosis or Doublade

[rich goblet]

I try to treat every Pokemon entry the same, but there are some favorites

This one I feel was an early entry I wrote that I’m proud of.

It was like one of the first 50 or so

[storm light]

These two were the first entries i wrote. It started with the one on top bc i found it and just had to write something for it

[rich goblet]

Then there’s this silly mf

[rich goblet]

They are adorable! Eeee

[storm light]

Ngl i'm kind of disappointed with their evos though

[rich goblet]

Yeah I had that experience once

I think it was a gloom and alakazam that I thought was going to be more fun

But

I felt happy that it existed at least

[storm light]

I think out of all 37 of mine currently on the site, this one is my fav

But of cours e i'm a sucker for vulpix and ninetales so

[rich goblet]

Vulpix line is slept on ngl

Need more fox loving

[rich goblet]

That’s a good one, glad you wrote it

Goofy ah mf

Loved that I wrote it

[storm light]

That's so good lol

[dull folio]

I know this wasn’t my first entry but it was one of them, it’s one of my favourites and kind of started me regularly making entries I always remember this one I love it

[storm light]

and it's evo!

[dull folio]

Nice I didn’t know it’s evo had been covered I love it

[storm light]

It was part of my first playthrough, I had to lol

[dull folio]

Oh they even have the same theme of baking it’s perfect

[dull folio]

I did that for all my pokemon, I think I remember my first entry now it was for my starter

Yeah it was this one

[storm light]

I should go see if the rest of this team have entries
#hall-of-fame message

[dull folio]

There was one member of my team that already had an entry, the rest I did myself when I started writing entries for the first time

[storm light]

#162.477
POKENAME's fur requires a lot of attention to maintain, so they spend most of their time grooming each other in the wild. They are very affectionate to Trainers who can handle caring for them.

#433.6
The flame of POKENAME's tail flickers with ghostly fire. Many Trainers who own them claim to have seen images of passed loved ones within the fire, urging them to grow stronger. Despite the Charizard DNA within them, POKENAME are quite serene.

Clefslash is gonne be a bit hard to write for bc i'd like to do one for the entire species, but the main sprite (left) is different than the one i used ingame (right)

[vivid spire]

Random idea for Lophox. I am on a Delphox spree today, and couldn’t resist writing for this sprite:

#354.484: Not only can POKENAME sense the thoughts of those around them, they can also hear movements for miles. Nearly impossible to ambush, if they sense a threat, they will distract it using flame on their wand before delivering a kick that shatters bone.

[vivid spire]

That would be difficult, and maybe you could change a sentence or phrase to fit between one or the other. Like one is a subspecies

One lives underground versus the other living under the night sky?

[storm light]

I meant more like the main sprite would be the one seen first by someone making the fusion, so i should write the entry based on it, but i used the other one and am more familiar with it

[vivid spire]

That is fair, definitely not what I was thinking

[storm light]

I can words

[hexed fog]

I'd love some pokemon that are commonly employed by jewelers or goldsmiths

[dull folio]

POKENAME is often employed jewellers or pawn brokers to test if a gem is genuine. If it’s fake, they will bite clean through, whereas if its real POKENAME will often try and run off and take its newfound jewel.

[soft flicker]

POKENAME's high precision Aqua Jets are powerful enough to cut through any natural material. Jewelry adorned with POKENAME-cut gemstones are worth a small fortune, yet there are some maniacs with collections of dozens of pieces.

[vivid spire]

You want Gems you say? Looking for a special occasion, perhaps? Well Dianxen will help you out, for a price:

#500.483: POKENAME use their staff like a divining rod, leading them right to precious gems. Intuitively they can tell real from fake jewels, and burn replicas in disgust. Jewelers often hire their services for pristine precious stones.

[soft flicker]

Is there a prominent museum in pokemon that isn't about fossils?

[rich goblet]

I think I'm going to post this in like 15 minutes, so give commentary while you can

[rich goblet]

Do libraries count

[vivid spire]

Yes, the Nautical museum in Hoenn and the Art Museum in Kalos

Although nautical museum does have fossils as well

[soft flicker]

I want a museum to display gems in... found a directory with museums in pokemon so I'll look through that

[vivid spire]

Oh you thought Jewelers would have all the fun? How about the Smithing companion, Slugbone:

#218.104: Packs of POKENAME gather in competitions, taking molten ores to forge into the most impressive jewelry with their clubs. Due to their body’s ability to keep metal molten, blacksmiths and goldsmiths seek them out.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/478.371/

Jewelery outlets make POKENAME morph into rings that patrons desire so that there is a minimal risk of theft. Thieves who escape with a POKENAME need help from mall security before they lose a finger.

Any commentary @vivid spire @soft flicker ? Would you be okay with the entry?

Hard for me to tell where I can improve it

[soft flicker]

Only tightening around the finger doesn't sound that much of a deterrent. Maybe also making loud sounds, like metal-screeching or whatever the two fusion pokemon could make?

[rich goblet]

Good point

I added a bit that should make it clear how painful the grip is

[vivid spire]

The second POKENAME can get switched to they, and maybe something comedic/fairy-like.

for example: “They stop potential thieves disappearing off their finger and taking any change they have in their pockets.”

I made this suggestion before the change

[soft flicker]

How's that sound? Found no good museum

POKENAME's high precision Aqua Jets are powerful enough to cut through any natural material. Jewelry adorned with POKENAME-cut gemstones are worth a small fortune, yet there are some maniacs with collections of dozens of pieces.

[rich goblet]

Not sure if this is better or worse @vivid spire

Oops wrong pong

Ping

[soft flicker]

Pong

Rumored? I think theft is such a normal occurrence that it is known that some (viscous) Carki do that

[rich goblet]

I’m not sure about the grammar on that one, but I can’t articulate why, it just feels off

[rich goblet]

Good point

[rugged socket]

Next Community DexSlog is online!

[vivid spire]

I’ve been Ponged! It sounds good to me

[soft flicker]

Stupid request, but could you send a picture/like of the DexSlog? I'm on an older version of Discord and I can't see the previous message

[rich goblet]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEDisY-UaS44v_kBY8tNA4qmVEP6fToEKTzBPN_bcro/edit?usp=sharing

best I can do on mobile

[soft flicker]

Tnx

[sacred stream]

so, if I were to put in entries for the Dexslog, do they have to be run by this discord or a mod of some kind, or can I put them straight in the sheet along with the form?

[fresh gazelle]

POKENAME have a body that is part solid, part liquid, part gas, but its materials and parts don't mix with any known substance, which allows it to live underwater. It can swim extremely fast by pulling water into the gray parts of its body and expelling it.
is this cool?

[vivid spire]

Follow the link to the google doc and go to the “claims” tab

Then write in your username, and generally reply to @rugged socket in this thread with the planned entry

[rich goblet]

Don’t forget to submit to the main form linked in #dex-entries-submissions

[vivid spire]

First off, I thought I’d try an Arcanine with a symbiotic relationship. Thus I chose Dugnine:

#51.59: Due to having three heads, POKENAME is unable to burrow effectively. They have formed a symbiotic relationship with Sandshrew, who dig tunnels wide enough for them, while they scare off larger Pokémon with boiling hot Flamethrowers.

[rich goblet]

Boiling hot maybe? Fire doesn’t boil

[fresh gazelle]

It is always surrounded by a thick oil, which also forms the cloud it sits on. It can adjust its density to float in the air and water.

[sacred stream]

I think I understand now, but I have one question, under the category that's "Include 4 words in a row that start with l, o, v, e." can I use POKENAME to fill in one of those spots if the name starts with one of the letters?
(e.x. Love, Only, POKENAME (Venuolett), Exist.)

[rich goblet]

I think the “start with a letter” ones are too complicated for the average player to enjoy, personal opinion

[sacred stream]

I've been known to think too hard about guidelines like this

[rich goblet]

Not just you lol

[vivid spire]

The second I decided on was a Bellossom who helps people communicate. It’s a Bellsprout!

#182.69: POKENAME communicate promarily through calming dance moves and pheromones undetectable by Trainers. They seek out humans who have difficulty speaking, and help them communicate using their vines to form sign language.

[rich goblet]

Using their bones is carrying a lot of weight but is also vague

Maybe guiding their bones or moving their bones

It’s a weird stretch

[vivid spire]

Vines… it’s supposed to be vines

Oops

Wrong reply, apologies

[rich goblet]

Maybe body language for autistic folks or—

Never mind it fixed itself lol

[soft flicker]

I've been worried about the bone part. What bones 0.o

[rich goblet]

No bones day

[vivid spire]

It turned from helping into body horror

And while I love the genre, definitely not Pokemon appropriate

[rich goblet]

This could describe a lot of Pokemon, so maybe you could tell folks what the oil does or how it works

It’s a bit generic, and I want to encourage you to let out crazy ideas

Like finger biting rings

[vivid spire]

lol besides the bones fiasco, does it sound good?

[rich goblet]

Looking at my most recent entry

[vivid spire]

No stress, this is meant for fun, and they would generally be fine if the fusion’s names start with one of those letters

[rich goblet]

I dont see how pheromones help with communication in people

[vivid spire]

Meant to be in the wild how they communicate versus when they choose someone, but it could be cut

[fresh gazelle]

I was gonna leave it as corrosive

but I'm not sure it'd make sense

[sacred stream]

and last question for clarification, when I reply like so with my entry, do I wait for a reply before filling out the form, or do I submit both at the same time?
(I'm a lil dum, bear with me )

[rich goblet]

What pokemon is it for? There is a universe where it could make sense

[vivid spire]

I generally wait a couple of hours, just to see if there’s any grammatical, or writing feedback

[vivid spire]

But it’s up to you, if you are confident in how it’s written you can submit it at the same time

[rich goblet]

I think the concept could be refined a lot more, right now it’s a vague communication aid when you could lean into how body language is taught

[fresh gazelle]

Relicanth/Castform (rainy)

it is rock, water, normal

none of that is corrosive

[rugged socket]

Yeah it's for the nerds

[rich goblet]

Presumably rock/water

there’s a lot of ways you could go, like raining mud, floating with specks of sand, erosion maybe, I don’t think poisonous corrosion would be understood too well

[vivid spire]

Complete overhaul #1

#182.69 Bellsprout: POKENAME communicate in the wild through calming dance moves, and easily pick up on Pokémon and human body language. They seek out humans who are unable to speak, and help communicate their needs with their vines signing Trainer taught sign language.

[rich goblet]

I’ll let the nerds do what they want so long as the Unowns don’t mind

[rich goblet]

I like it! Does it fit the character limit? (On mobile can’t check)

[soft flicker]

I dont know why but I think "Trainer-taught sign language" is better? Or correct-er

[rich goblet]

This is a valid one, descriptors should be hyphenated

[rugged socket]

1 character over

[vivid spire]

Had to drop an “s”

Picks up to pick up

[sacred stream]

Right, here's my first entry for Poliladin:

#60.480: When wild POKENAME evolve, their newfound rounded bodies become very bouyant. They set off from the islands they're raised on shortly after, letting the ocean's currents wash them to new shores.

[rich goblet]

I think it’s one of the more obscure FAQ lessons given to us by the dev, each Pokemon has to have a standalone entry, meaning that we should minimize references to its former evolution. With that said the concept isn’t bad, maybe you could focus on its buoyant properties

Like does it puff up air? Does it suck it in? How does it release air?

It’s a great start and I love it though, super cute

[rugged socket]

I think that is standalone enough, maybe just say upon evolving

[sacred stream]

ohhh I see, should I just remove the reference to it's prevo and just say "when it evolves", or smthn else?

oh-

[rich goblet]

Consider shorting it to just body language, we don’t need the specificity of both pokemon and people (and if we do it’s a quick fix)

[rich goblet]

Upon evolving works out like what the other friend said

[sacred stream]

Edited, also made it 2 sentences instead of 1 with small changes

[rich goblet]

I would be okay submitting it but I’m also a loose cannon when it comes to grammar

Edit: this means take what I say with a grain of salt

[vivid spire]

Already submitted

[rich goblet]

It’ll be fiiiine

[sacred stream]

submitted the entry, should I update the Filled Grid or does that happen by someone else?

[rich goblet]

@rugged socket Do we fill in the slog grid or do you

[rugged socket]

Preferably you, but I'll catch any that get left behind

Community DexSlog: Golett/Pink sprite - Exeggcute/Golett

Each of the eggs on POKENAME can specialise many times within its life. If it overexerts itself, its eggs start leaking and it promptly sits down, allowing its body to repair. Researchers have yet to determine how this advanced science works.

[rich goblet]

Egg specialization and repair is interesting, but very complex. I’m most confused by how it specializes

[fresh gazelle]

I mean, water rich in salt is corrosive towards metal

[rugged socket]

Wish I had more characters, will see what I can do

[rich goblet]

That makes more sense, you should write about it 😄

[rich goblet]

POKENAME have eggs attached to its body that perform specialized roles. Whenever an egg cracks, it sits down to repair it.

Maybe it’s a stylistic choice, but it’s one I think matters for clarity here

I am very smooth brain, I need things to be shrimple and understandable like egg fried rice

Yes I just typed that

[rugged socket]

Each of the eggs on POKENAME can specialise many times within its life. What is currently its head will one day become its arm or leg, with POKENAME rotating its entire body. Researchers have yet to determine how this advanced science works.

[rich goblet]

I’m going to get to a computer soon, hard doing this from mobile

[rich goblet]

Now this is a work of art

[rugged socket]

Oh man dc is so hard to use on mobile

[rich goblet]

It’s more like as an older person, touch typing is a lot faster

Like a lot of younger folks don’t know how to touch type the same way I don’t know how to mobile type

[rugged socket]

Laughs in swipe typing

[rich goblet]

I bet that’s actually faster too

[rugged socket]

Depends if you include the mistakes haha

[vivid spire]

Had to REALLY REALLY think hard for a Bidoof entry that makes the world a better place… because come ON Bidoof already does that! Have the Pokémon Anti-depressant, BITUFF:

#294.40: Between its cute looks, and calming singing voice, POKENAME is a popular Pokémon for families. It has a highly developed passion to help other creatures, and long term bonding with it has proven to reduce sadness.

[rich goblet]

Drive? Why not Passion?

[rugged socket]

I'm not crying, you're crying 🥲

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME creates and electrifies a yolk-like fluid from its body as a form of self-defense. If the fluid is extracted and then added to a beverage, the drink will glow in the dark, with no adverse effects otherwise.

[vivid spire]

Love it, but am thinking of an “no adverse effects known… yet!

[sacred stream]

"Your drink is safe.
...Or is it?"

[narrow cosmos]

You drink it and then your tummy glows in the dark.

[vivid spire]

I’m imagining Fallout… just a tiny bit of radiation

[storm light]

#434.239
POKENAME roams garbage dumps looking for batteries of all kinds. It will feed on the batteries it finds, absorbing the charge and using the toxic materials it eats in its various Poison-type attacks.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME possesses a multitude of feelers that sense fluctuations in the air, letting it know if other creatures are around. Incredibly timid, it rarely has the courage to come out from beneath its own tendrils.

[storm light]

Side question rq, why are some of the sprite images in yellow?

[rich goblet]

It means there's another entry with that filename

could mean its a duplicate

[storm light]

ah

[rich goblet]

Sometimes but not always

[storm light]

I did indeed find a second entry about mine lol

[rich goblet]

lol

[storm light]

from like 15 days ago

[narrow cosmos]

I learned from re-reading my stuff on Daena that somehow I gave the same Pokemon two different entries over time, which is amusing.

[rich goblet]

I always look on daena site to try to figure out if it already has an entry

[sacred stream]

Stumbled upon this sprite by accident, but thought of this type of entry almost immediately. I used Milnine for the Arcanine/Pink slot:

#241.59: The milk comprising POKENAME's mane, tail, and hind legs has a strangely fluffy consistency due to the hot air in it's body frothing it and turning it into milk foam. When it expels this air using Heat Wave, it's milk returns to it's liquid form.

[narrow cosmos]

Problem is it doesn't update automatically so it's gonna be a bit out of date

[storm light]

to be fair, the one i submitted for doesn't have an entry on daena, but has one on the sheet

[rich goblet]

The sprite is cute but can you imagine hot milk? 🤒

[sacred stream]

well it IS it's mane, you're not gonna eat it surely

[rich goblet]

Good point

[rich goblet]

Its outdated but not enough for me to notice

[sacred stream]

also I just wanna point out this is Milnine's pokemon category

[vivid spire]

I’ve jumped up about 150 entries since the last update…. I wanna see my other entries

[rich goblet]

Dang you're fast

[vivid spire]

To be fair 36 of those were the last Dex slog, and it’s been about a month since the last update

[vivid spire]

The next that came up was Quillidin using L, O, V, E in sequence. So I went with Quilape:

#480.57: POKENAME has a very short temper, even the sounds of falling leaves send it into fury. It increases its level of violence extremely quickly, jumping from frolicking in flowers to Mega Punching boulders.

And before you ask.. YES THIS IS AN UNDERTALE REFERENCE!

[dull folio]

I’m at 237 idk if that’s accurate or if an for that update is coming soon, I’ve slowed down a lot to enjoy my summer I’ll start back up in like a week

[storm light]

when will daena update the sitee /j

[thorn ingot]

Every month after a spritepack release

[storm light]

but i want it nowwww crying real/j

In seriousness though, i'm willing to wait as long as it takes lol

[narrow cosmos]

I'm about 100+ new entries since the last update, I'm closing in on 2400 total.

[storm light]

According to the sheet I have 82 lol

though some arent approved yet, site says i have 37

[narrow cosmos]

It's fun to re-read them when an update hits, and then go through so many and go "oh yeah, I did write that, huh?"
