[thorn ingot]

Surely submitting one more won’t hurt

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is always seen floating around in something of a daze. It's not immune to its own pollen flow, so its allergies leave its heads constantly feeling heavy and stuffy.

Given how the seasons have been to me this year, I sympathize with this guy.

[storm light]

noooo poor guy

[hexed fog]

Tell me about some pokemon that help people sleep in motels

[hidden valve]

@modest python my best friend look at these goobers

[versed tundra]

Weezing about to evolve into Notbreething

[soft flicker]

Coming back to this one:
This Pokémons can only eat radishes, leading to POKENAME coming together to plant a field. They mimic a radish in looks and bury themselves in the soil to hide; when another Pokémon tries to eat a radish, the group jumps out of the soil to attack.

[hexed fog]

I want to hear about some pokemon who consume or disrupt cellular signals

[soft flicker]

Also coming back to this one:
This Pokémon hates water and they hide in caves with their flock to wait out any rain. Bored POKENAME play with their fire while waiting, but sometimes their lack of experience results in a big fire ball, setting themselves and their kin ablaze.

I like this one, only gripe is that very used flock twice, especially as it doesn't really fit in the last sentence.
Any idea what to change "... and their flock ablaze" to?

[narrow cosmos]

How about "kin" instead?

[vivid spire]

Finally I have time to answer an Izik challenge! How about we all deal with Miseary:

#255.403: Mistaken as Hex Maniacs from a distance, POKENAME enjoy causing mischief. They chant incantations, disrupting electrical signals and are especially fond of following passersby on cell phones making important calls drop.

Also, honest question, does any of the Pokemon lore involve witches?

[soft flicker]

Ooooohhhh I though the cellular signals mean (human) cells. And was very confused how anyone can consume cell signals

[vivid spire]

That would definitely be a legendary Pokemon power! I’m imagining people becoming blobs like the first X men movie

[soft flicker]

I was trying to find the Proygon Fusion that had a DNA sprite for the promt, but gave up after awhile

[hexed fog]

Is the mischief thing a ref to buneary?

Remember both need to be involved somehow

[vivid spire]

#255.403 Miseary: Mistaken as Hex Maniacs from a distance, POKENAME enjoy causing mischief. Their presence disrupts electrical signals and are infamous for interrupting passersby on cell phones making important calls drop. When confronted they curl their ears before slapping the threat.

Unfortunately there is so little on Buneary

[soft flicker]

Interrupting

[vivid spire]

The sad thing is that was the autocorrect from my phone

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/358.440/

POKENAME disrupts radio frequencies around it by absorbing electromagnetic waves. When this occurs, it emits its own ultrasonic waves that are picked up by electronic devices.

[regal cedar]

Hi @jagged ledge , I was curious about this entry. It is Yamask/Squirtle.

"POKENAME are rather forgetful, wandering around as if completely unaware of their surroundings. However, if the faces on the back of their shells spot something important, their eyes will glow bright red as the POKENAME suddenly focuses."

Now, I assumed this refers to the black main head, but as faces were brought into questions and is part of that sentence, I'm not sure. Which set of eyes start glowing red? The mask's, or their head's?

There is something similar with Yamask/Wartortle, although it doesn't mention the face on the back of the shell, just "the face".

[jagged ledge]

I meant the eyes on the shell, as that is what I'm saying would be doing the spotting, but I see the issue. Maybe "If the eyes on the back of their shells spot something important, they will glow red" Would help to condense the thought in a more readable way?

[regal cedar]

Let me double check to see if it fits!

Yes, that fits better!

[jagged ledge]

"POKENAME are rather forgetful, wandering around as if completely unaware of their surroundings. However, if the eyes on the back of their shells spot something important, they will glow bright red as the POKENAME suddenly focuses."

👍

The idea was supposed to kinda play with this mysterious sense of the shell being the one in control lol

[regal cedar]

Just to double check for Wartortle:

"Ghostly wails echo out from inside POKENAME's shell while POKENAME sleeps. Any attempts to find the source of the odd sounds will cause the eyes on the face to glow bright red as the wails turn to shrieks."

Because the mask/face of the shell wasn't brought up, I also assumed the dark face, but now it seems it would suit the other better.

[jagged ledge]

Maybe just replace "on the face" with "on the shell"?

That is definitely what I meant by the entry, but I forget the exact intended phrasing lol

[regal cedar]

The shell makes it much more clear, so I'll run with it!

[dull folio]

Do you think you should switch out one of the POKENAME's for it or they?

[regal cedar]

It's mostly to make sure "they" doesn't refer to the "ghostly wails"

[dull folio]

Fair enough that makes sense

[rich goblet]

Should I make a few entries about firefighters today?

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is said to hide itself away in parts of the ocean perpetually wracked by violent thunderstorms. Tall tales say just glancing at its form will drive a mind to madness and pledging themselves to POKENAME's ideals.

P...R...A...I...S...E...H...E...L...I...X...

[formal atlas]

Please update remix mode so that randomizing trainers doesn't break the game!, also add a mode that is just classic mode but you have the option of a custom starter or at the very least choosing from the other gen starters

[rich goblet]

This is not the place for that @formal atlas -- You're looking for #game-suggestions

[formal atlas]

Oh ok

[rich goblet]

This is where writers come together to write pokedex entries

You're welcome

[formal atlas]

Where in the list is that because I dont see it

[rich goblet]

It should be available to click/tap on, weird

Anyway try asking in #general or #playthrough-talk -- We're a bunch of nerds here who know grammar, might get better mileage in those channels

[formal atlas]

Ok

[narrow cosmos]

Unconfirmed reports say POKENAME has been spotted in Lavender Town. According to the stories, POKENAME appears before someone, demanding they leave before distorting and vanishing before their eyes.

Electronic media in POKENAME's presence glitches out and begins to take on creepier undertones in text or visuals. It's not yet known if this is intentional or not on POKENAME's part.

Been trying to enhance my Porygon skills, though typically it's Z's glitchy nature that's a bit easier to write for.

Typically though; sometimes including that glitchy nature is difficult still.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME carries around a sack at all times, demanding others tribute candies and sweets to it. Those that don't comply will by licked, its tongue inflicting all manner of strange curses and hexes on the victim.

[rich goblet]

This is so adorbs

[narrow cosmos]

Give it the candy, or it will curse you with a week of manual blinking and breathing!

[hollow nimbus]

I can't be trusted with that :0
I would forget

Unusual and specific curses sounds like a great prompt for some entries, though

[hexed fog]

I want to hear about where certain pokemon like sleeping

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME's tongue wraps all around its body and holds onto a large sweet brimming with magic. One must never accept if offered a taste, for the object is cursed and will pass a hex onto those foolish enough to lick.

POKENAME that have licked their magical treat clean are particularly dangerous, as their tongue has now absorbed most of the magic. Their tongue now casts all the spells, the candy now reduced to a potent bludgeoning tool.

[soft flicker]

Maybe removing the three "now" in the second one, because it could be flagged with the "don't reference other entries" rule? Or in general because there are too many nows

[soft flicker]

With the reference I mean: if there is a now, then there has to be a before

[floral tundra]

huh

[summer saffron]

i disagree with your logic, I don’t think it’s really referencing anything else, I think the “before” is “before the lollipop was licked clean”
But I think the phrasing would be nicer without the “now” in “Their tongue now casts…”

[warm moat]

One now works:

POKEMAME that have licked their magical treat clean are particularly dangerous, as now their tongue has absorbed most of the magic, and casts all the spells, reducing their candy to a potent bludgeoning tool.

[tame wraith]

i was thinking about an entry for machamp+chandelure. something about how they like to practice with their own shadow

[warm moat]

Literally shadow boxing!

[tame wraith]

YEEEE!

like he brawls with the shadows made by the chandelure part ahahahaha

sounds cool

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is very loving and easily grows attached to others, craving regular hugs. It's a bit stubborn as well, so those that try to release the hug before POKENAME is finished get forcibly pulled back in by its psychic powers.

"We ain't done hugging yet, get back here."

[rich goblet]

It is* for dex tone, don't really see many contractions in the pokedex etc

[terse pawn]

A lounge of wild POKENAME have recently been discovered within a forest up north in the Orre region. The buds on their arms will bloom into flowery blades that can slash through even the toughest of boulders whenever they're in battle.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/162.287/

POKENAME enjoys giving long hugs to Trainers and Pokémon. It is known to use its psychic powers to ensure that it is satisfied with each hug it gives.

Inspired by @narrow cosmos

[terse pawn]

POKENAME will hide itself from predators by holding onto tree branches and stick out their tails to pretend to be its leaves. Much of their diet consists of tree sap that they would extract with their tongues.

[jagged ledge]

I mean it depends on the entry really, it's not a hard rule. The reason it doesn't read as dex tone here is because of the usage of "a bit"

[terse pawn]

Once every spring, POKENAME will leave their forest and migrate across the wasteland to plant seeds. They have been seen as nature's way to reforest barren lands.

[rich goblet]

This is news to me, I'll note it for the future

https://tenor.com/r00W3FAobyB.gif

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, there's nothing against contractions in the rules, not even with pronouns. It just depends on how they're used within the sentence and how the entry reads. They can be part of what makes an entry feel off tone, but they are not enough reason on their own.

[rich goblet]

Thanks for the clarification, I've been avoiding using contractions because of a misconception

[vivid spire]

Had a random idea for Megagron:

#154.333: POKENAME tends to rock moss gardens in the mountains, the fragrance of which attracts lost Pokémon they adopt as family. If threatened, they will Body Slam foes off the mountain side.

[jagged ledge]

I mean they can be a slippery slope, so I understand trying to avoid them. I just didn't want people to think it was a complete hard rule, but why it might seem like one.

[vivid spire]

@jagged ledge would this be considered too violent?

[jagged ledge]

The mentioning/process of burying of "what remains" would be considered too violent, yes. The Body Slam itself is alright.

[vivid spire]

I will remove the what remains portion then

[narrow cosmos]

Dex tone's always a little subjective anyway, so long as it's not too egregious. Humor, exclamations and even puns slip through now and again, but those are the exception and not the rule. Even I slip up now and then, but I try not to be too egregious.

Maybe trying to be consistently clinical was making me go a bit loopy.

[rich goblet]

I remember my call it quits pun and still love it

https://www.fusiondex.org/156.285/

[narrow cosmos]

There's a Ditto oddish fusion that has part of it say "It's not Ditto, but it is Dit-ish."

[azure wagon]

While POKENAME camouflages in trees, it attracts avian Pokémon by wiggling its bug-shaped vine. When unsuspecting prey draws near, it proceeds to strike furiously with its venomous forelegs.

[hexed fog]

Id love to hear about fruit picking pokemon from the wild list and how they eat

[rich goblet]

Silly question where is the wild list

I can’t seem to find it

[wooden bronze]

hey guys!!!

[rich goblet]

Howdy

[wooden bronze]

did my submisson get approved?

and im back from hospital

[rich goblet]

You can check if your entry was approved with the link inside this channel #dex-entries-submissions

[storm light]

What are some Pokemon that hoard food or objects? 👀

[hexed fog]

Zubat

[rich goblet]

Oh its the demo list, thanks

[jagged ledge]

Oh that's new

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME's vast intellect serves it well in protecting its beloved trainer. It appears to always be thinking of contingency plans based around its trainer's safety, no matter how outlandish the scenario.

Don't you worry, if a runaway pudding truck overturns just as you happened to take your bike ride five seconds early at the same time as a flock of wild Spearow pass through, this one's got you covered, that's plan #412a.

[soft flicker]

The spoons in the design just had a thought pop up in my mind
"make the next dex a pokemon that would enjoy coffee jellly"
Very specific brain, but I see what I can do

(No that isn't a Saiki k reference, what do you think of me /s )

[craggy beacon]

now that my spiritomb/scolipede is in

POKENAME is highly territorial, defending its home with its claws. If it grapples with an intruder for long enough, their soul will become trapped in its keystone.
im bringing this back

[storm light]

Reworded to be a little more clear lol

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/511.495/

POKENAME floats in small ponds where it waits for berries to fall into the water. It takes small nibbles out of those berries, and takes roughly an hour to eat one berry.

[wooden bronze]

omg it was approved! yay!!

[narrow cosmos]

The new announcement just reminds me of how massive this project keeps getting, we're up to dex numbers of 567 and counting, we'll be spriting and fusing and dexing forever.

[rich goblet]

I wonder what happens when we eventually go back and fix the dex to match national dex

[narrow cosmos]

For simplicity's sake that'll probably never happen and we'll just stick with the game's version of it. Rearranging that much would probably be hell.

[rich goblet]

It would be hell eheh

[hexed fog]

again. guys. USERNAME not your server nickname

[hollow nimbus]

I liked the image used in the new mon vote
Maybe we could incorporate that

It was a picture showing Frog's profile with a circle around his username

[hexed fog]

I denied

[azure wagon]

It lives a solitary life along snowy mountain slopes. Using its sharp claws, POKENAME takes great time in carving a block of ice perfectly to its taste.

[terse pawn]

POKENAME's power in the ocean is unmatched. It can devastate cities with Earthquake and unleash large tsunamis with Surf to flood everything in its path.

[terse pawn]

Wild POKENAME bury themselves in the seafloor and absorb the energy within it to grow as they sleep. They will unleash powerful tremors if they're disturbed.

[rich goblet]

Could an Unown reject my second instance of 74.523.png? I forgot I already sent the first one and made a second whole new entry

Also I found that https://www.fusiondex.org/54.9/ exists, but according to the approval sheet it says No Sprite Yet for whatever reason

[azure wagon]

The crystals on its head absorb moonlight. On nights of the full moon, it is advised to leave POKENAME alone, as the stored energy makes those who get too close ill. Luckily come daytime, their symptoms fade.

(technically in character length but im feeling it is a bit too wordy...any thoughts? )

[quiet chasm]

Hmm

You could consider starting the next sentence at 'the stored energy'

'those who get too close' is a bit wordy as well, so finding a shorter form of this would be good too

[soft flicker]

Silly question: how do we write for the wild list? Like writing for fusions with only pokemon on the list?

[hexed fog]

Same way you would for any other pokemon 🙂 the list is on the sheet

[round cave]

Oh, add Latias/Latios and Latios/Latias to that list.

[hexed fog]

Quick do an entry for them so we dont have to lol

[rich goblet]

Could an Unown reject my second instance of 74.523.png? I forgot I already sent the first one and made a second whole new entry

I also found that https://www.fusiondex.org/54.9/ exists, but according to the approval sheet it says No Sprite Yet for whatever reason

<@&1210701164426039366>

[regal cedar]

There's "a" at the end of the filename,

[rich goblet]

OH. I can't believe I missed that Sorry

[vivid spire]

I have two ideas, and thought they were in the wild list… yeah the reverse were on the list. Poochts:

#502.285: POKENAME is territorial, baring its fangs and quivering with rage at passersby. When it senses a Trainer confrontation, it quickly teleports to a new territory.

Seedts:

Unable to gain nutrients from the sun, POKENAME burrows into the roots of trees, leeching their strength. When sensing other pests attacking their meal, they quickly latch onto the other Pokémon and drain its power.

[rich goblet]

I'm not sure this works on a conceptual level, its territorial but flees to a new territory?

[vivid spire]

Was going for more of a chihuahua vibe

But let me think…

[rich goblet]

Maybe 'Whenever a foe gets aggressive, it enters into a fawn response and acts demure'

Something that shows that it changes attitude

[vivid spire]

Maybe this instead:

#502.285 Poochts: POKENAME is moody towards everything, baring its fangs and quivering with rage at passersby. When it senses a Trainer confrontation, it quickly teleports to a new territory.

[rich goblet]

The first sentence isn't really the problem, its the second

It's alright if its territorial, but the second sentence needs to show that it stays in the territory you know?

POKENAME is territorial, baring its fangs and quivering with rage at passersby. When it senses a Trainer confrontation, it quickly teleports away out of fear.

Something like that

[vivid spire]

Updating it to that

POKENAME is territorial, baring its fangs and quivering with rage at passersby. When it senses a Trainer confrontation, it quickly teleports away out of fear.

[rich goblet]

That should be better I think, since the Pokemon would probably not want to teleport to an entirely new territory

[vivid spire]

Lol that fair. How about the other entry; I almost fear the pronouns might be confusing

[rich goblet]

Unable to gain nutrients from the sun, POKENAME burrow into the roots of trees, leeching vital nutrients. When sensing other pests attacking their meal, they quickly latch onto the other Pokémon and drain its power.

I changed the strength bits to eliminate the pronoun issue

English is funny like that

Oh wait

Burrow if plural, Burrows if singular

[vivid spire]

Thank you… these early wakeups are really screwing with my brain’s brain ability

[rich goblet]

It's alright

Early morning brain will do that to ya

[azure wagon]

The teeth of POKENAME sometimes break off while gnawing on crystals, but regrow within a few days. These discarded gem-like teeth are highly sought after by collectors.

[rich goblet]

The sentence doesn't really flow well.

May I suggest:

POKENAME have teeth that break off and regrow while gnawing on crystals. The discarded gem-like teeth are highly sought after by collectors.

Wait

Oops

Ah this is hard

@azure wagon I had to do a hotfix, sorry for all the pings

[azure wagon]

no worries, i apperciate the help

what's the best way to edit my submission?

or should i just submit another entry?

[rich goblet]

It depends on its about the content or if its a small grammar error

If its for the content you can ping the unown role

If its for a small grammar error the unown team will fix it

@azure wagon

[azure wagon]

<@&1210701164426039366> if you could, please update my submission for 421.297 with this (thanks quack for helping): POKENAME have teeth that break off and regrow while gnawing on crystals. The discarded gem-like teeth are highly sought after by collectors.

[regal cedar]

Please use #custom-dex-errors

[broken otter]

I've got 4 pokedex entries I've written up for Pokemon I've been using in my playthrough. I'm a little confused how to submit them

[rich goblet]

The instructions are in the pins and the #dex-entries-submissions channel

[broken otter]

Still confused

[rich goblet]

Did you read what was in the channel?

[broken otter]

Yeah, trying to follow it.

[timid sky]

?tag reading not just for NPC dialogue

[upper loom]

You should try to read NPC dialogue! They give very good hints on how to continue the game. Sometimes they also give you items! Don't forget to talk to NPC's and read what they say.

[hexed fog]

Please check the pins

[broken otter]

OMG THERE IS A FORM

Here I am trying to decypher how a bot works or something

[rich goblet]

Reading solves most problems

[broken otter]

I was reading, but wasn't going in

[hexed fog]

Thats a mood

[narrow cosmos]

Oh, just saw that one of my entries needed a pow-wow, looks like. Glad the Ultra Beast reference is OK to use.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME's artificial intelligence is quite robust, letting it store vast amounts of data and knowledge on many subjects. It seems most fascinated by the subject of wishes.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME were stationed in the tombs of the most revered of ancient kings to watch over their possessions. Graverobbers that foolishly thought to steal would be buried beneath POKENAME's endlessly-spawning limbs of sand.

I'd say this one should be OK. Given half of Cofagrigus's gimmick is "unfortunate graverobber go bye-bye"

[hexed fog]

I would love to hear about some cocoon pokemon whose shed shells are used in clothing or construction

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/74.11/

POKENAME has a sturdy cocoon that protects its body. Construction companies gather empty cocoons to ground into a powder that reinforces concrete.

[jagged ledge]

Btw, there's still time to join in for this round of Dexdoku!

I promise I'll get through reviews tomorrow

[rich goblet]

I thought you forgot all about me lol

[jagged ledge]

I have been surprisingly busy this week unfortunately. I promise I have not forgotten though. 👍

[rich goblet]

You’re too kind 🥹

[jagged ledge]

Thank you, I do my best

[azure wagon]

👀 how do we join/submit entries?

[jagged ledge]

All you have to do is find sprites that fit the grid and review your entries with me by Wednesday! The nitty gritty of the rules is available in the pins!

[azure wagon]

cool! so i'd fill it out and then DM it to you?

[craggy beacon]

people typically send their stuff in #1210021946105004052

[azure wagon]

ah gotcha

awesome, i'll get cracking

[jagged ledge]

You can post them here or #1210021946105004052 👍

[clear hollow]

This Pokémon has to eat at least twice its body weight daily for healthy growth. Its diet consists mostly of rocks and metals which POKENAME crushes to small pieces with its powerful fists in order to fit the food under its mask where its mouth is.
390.523 Aron/Makuhita

[clear hollow]

These Pokémon used to fight with humans for the iron ore deposits in the past, but now are largely used to help people with mining it. POKENAME are tough to keep due to their enormous appetite for metal, but the expenses are usually worth the profit.
391.523 Lairon/Makuhita

It makes an entire mountain its training ground, often interfering with the local ecosystem and scaring other Pokémon away without even noticing. POKENAME's slaps and punches are impactful enough to sometimes cause large rock slides.
333.523 Aggron/Makuhita

[chilly bloom]

sorry about the delay on pokedex entries, but they have been updated now

[steep turtle]

das my sprite 😄

[soft flicker]

Entry for DexDoku Gift/three Stage electric: Pichu!
POKENAME like to cuddle and rub their cheeks against others to show affection. If they nuzzle with other Electric-type Pokémon, a big amount of static electricity builds up; anyone who touches them in this state receives a nasty, but harmless shock.
Is the punctuation okay?

[soft flicker]

This Pokémons psychic power subconsciously gathers the shed fur of nearby Pokémon to make itself a comfortable bed, as it needs to sleep for 18 hours a day. POKENAME has evolved a third eye that is always open to look out for danger while asleep.
I need help with the second sentence, currently it sounds like "has evolved ... while asleep" but it should sound like "look out for ... while asleep". How could I change the sentence?

[dull folio]

You could just a say " A third eye appears on POKENAME to look out for danger while it sleeps"

Then it keeps the same meaning without saying it evolves

[soft flicker]

That ist against the rules, some FAQ question mentions that

*isnt

[dull folio]

Also take the s of Pokémons btw

[soft flicker]

But your idea sound good

[dull folio]

Yeah saying evolved might get a little confusing with Pokémon evolution and natural evolution, not wrong just I find it little confusing

[soft flicker]

This Pokémons psychic power subconsciously gathers the shed fur of nearby Pokémon to make itself a comfortable bed, as it needs to sleep for 18 hours a day. A third eye appears on POKENAME's forehead to look out for danger while it sleeps.
?

[dull folio]

Looks good to me

[soft flicker]

This is FAQ 30 and I was wrong, only unfused Pokemon can "evolve" anything

[soft flicker]

I'm having fun with self fusions today. What do we think of this one?
POKENAME gather under a new moon and preform a dance. Step by step, the group follows a silent rhythm, their gaze far away, as if they see something inconceivable. Ancient folklore describe that this dance (is supposed to) lead lost souls back home.

Btw the only Oricorio-Oricorio fusion of the 16 that doesn't have at least one custom entry

[worthy wraith]

POKENAME produce nigh unbreakable webs and can often be found in dark caves and deep woods. Despite its insectoid nature, it grows very attached to Trainers that treat it with love and care.

What yall think?

[quartz wharf]

i love the last sentence, it’s so cute

where do you find which pokemon doesnt have entry ?

[clear hollow]

On if.daena.me (aka Fusiondex), you can find a specific fusion and see if it has a custom dex entry or not

[quartz wharf]

i will do a lot of trevenant fusion then

[soft flicker]

Yep, though the entry has to be for custom sprites, though I don't think Trevenant is lacking in that department

[quartz wharf]

89/439 :
 « This pokemon can be found in swamp. When POKENAME is around, a poisonous smoke is spread all around »

i would have liked to had a line about his grass type but I didnt have any ideas

[soft flicker]

You can do 3 sentences

Let me look at the fusion if I have an idea

[quartz wharf]

24/439 : « When POKENAME see someone tresspassing it’s territory, it will spread it’s root to catch the intruder, who will never be seen again »

[quartz wharf]

maybe had something like « It smells like decaying wood » or smt IDK

[soft flicker]

This Pokémon can grow in the most toxic of environments, perpetually smelling like decaying wood. (Second sentence)
Something kinda plant vibey

[soft flicker]

Oooo nice

[quartz wharf]

yeah thats cool

[quartz wharf]

we had the same idea or you added that when you saw my message ?

[soft flicker]

Nah, added it

[quartz wharf]

yeah, thought so

[soft flicker]

It was too good of an idea

[quartz wharf]

I will submit this entru

[soft flicker]

Maybe wait a bit more? So anyone else can submit feedback

[quartz wharf]

kay

[quartz wharf]

ans for my second entry ?

[soft flicker]

Maybe a <@&1210701164426039366> around who likes to have a look?

[quartz wharf]

it is allowed to do that ?

[soft flicker]

Unowns? They are kind like Mods for the dex entries

[quartz wharf]

yeah but I thought it was forbidden to call them like that

[soft flicker]

Good idea, but kinda short. Maybe add a second sentence with something that makes them unique! There are many entries describing pokemon angry with trespassers, what can they do that makes them stand out

And if you haven't there are some tips, ticks and rules here in the pinned messages or in the message in #dex-entries-submissions ! :D

[quartz wharf]

yeah i think like : « the motif under it’s eyes sometimes change it’s appearance and is said (?) to hold a great power »

or something about the motif anyways

[soft flicker]

Like the real Cobra. It could use the motiv to scare people in some capacity

Anyway I have my own entry: Cyndarepp
This Pokémon is the perfect cuddle-partner, as its wool is very soft and pleasantly warm. Even though its wool can't be dyed, it remains a popular cold-weather-clothing material, as it always retains some of POKENAME's original warmth.

[quartz wharf]

201/439
« POKENAME is a very misterious Pokemon. When a lot of them assembles to form a forest, a cloak of mist that remote (?) anyone that passes is formed »

am not very good in english

[quartz wharf]

this thing is so cute !

how do you add the pictures ?

[soft flicker]

a cloak of mist that prevents anyone from passing though is formed

[quartz wharf]

yeah like this

[soft flicker]

Wither you download the image or you like the entry, that will show the image

Either

https://www.fusiondex.org/201.439/

See

[quartz wharf]

ok

[worthy wraith]

POKENAME are often found in massive pods in warm seas feasting on whatever scraps that they find and consume. When a couple finds this Pokémon, it signals a weathered yet strong relationship.

what about this one?

[quartz wharf]

310/439 :
« It is said that when POKENAME appears, a wildfire is about to start. These rumors make of POKENAME a Pokemon hated by all campers »

[midnight siren]

what do ya want me to look at?

[quartz wharf]

my entries I think

at least we were talking about that

[midnight siren]

ping me to them and i can have a quick look

[quartz wharf]

this one

[quartz wharf]

whit this sentence at the end

[quartz wharf]

this + « this pokemon can grow in the most toxic environments, perpetually smelling like decaying wood »

[soft flicker]

Altrius is new to the whole deal and has written some Trevenant fusions

[quartz wharf]

i already did some tho

some time ago

[quartz wharf]

and this

[worthy wraith]

When a forest seems more like a jungle you can be sure a herd of POKENAME has settled. Each and every vine from this POKENAME has a unique taste due to its varied diet.

And this one?

[quartz wharf]

why rattata ?

[worthy wraith]

I have a lot of rats.

[quartz wharf]

i am unable to say what I didnt like but I can say what I liked, that last detail kn the taste of the vines is super cool

[midnight siren]

aight so:

1. misterious should be mysterious -> just a spelling mistake.
2. assembles should be assemble -> assemble is plural already
3. a lot of them could be a group of -> helps with the flow and sounds better
4. some more elaboration on the second sentence would be needed for me to help you, as i don't know what kind of imagery you want so i can't easily help fix the issues here

[soft flicker]

Sorry, haven't noticed you in the chat before

[midnight siren]

just for my knowledge, where does that additional sentence come in? is it just added to the end of the existing entry?

[quartz wharf]

yes

[quartz wharf]

for the last sentence, it’s like : because when it is around, there is a forest fire, campers think it provoke them and because campers are in the forest, they hate this pokemon. Campers can be replaced by anything else that is often in the forest, it os just the first thing that came to my mind

damn, why is there so little swalot fusions

[midnight siren]

1. tresspassing it's territory should be trespassing in its territory -> trespassing needs an in afterwards, as you need to trespass somewhere. it's should be its here, there is a pinned message that explains the difference between it's and its. essentially its is possessive whereas it's is a contraction of it is. also tresspassing is spelt wrong, you only need 1 s instead of the double s the first time.
2. it's root should be its root -> again, wrong its
3. dont forget to end your sentence with a full stop
4. see should be sees -> as you are in 3rd person, it should be sees

[midnight siren]

its a newer addition, and people aren't as keen on it

also @quartz wharf when you are looking for feedback in here, could you add the image of the fusion please! it really helps us to assist you if we can also see the sprite you are writing for

[quartz wharf]

i knex about its and it’s, i think it is just missclicks

[midnight siren]

fair enough, you just didn't put campers in the original message lol

[quartz wharf]

the problem is, i am not on my computer and i dont know how to do it on ipad

mb

I meant I cant have the link

[midnight siren]

you can either copy and paste the link from your web page (click on the web address at the bottom of the screen and it should have a copy popup) and then click in the discord message tab to paste (again if you press and hold it should come up with the paste message) or you can download the image and then add it to your discord message

[quartz wharf]

centiskorch isnt in the game ?

[midnight siren]

nope

no gen 8/9 pokemon are

and they won't be added due to technical issues

[quartz wharf]

damn

all of its body is made of eggs. Everything that POKENAME cooks end up being delicious, no matter what the ingredients are

do you think i can send the entry with the corrections you made me ?

[midnight siren]

if you could write it out here again with the corrections, i can give it another check to make sure i haven't missed anything

[quartz wharf]

ok

first one : this Pokemon can be found in swamp. When POKENAME is around, a poisonous smoke is spread all around. It grows in the most toxic environments, perpetually smelling like decaying wood

[midnight siren]

1. swamp should be swamps -> swamp should be plural here
2. instead of When POKENAME is around, a poisonous smoke is spread all around you could instead say smth like POKENAME emits a poisonous smoke from its body. -> this keeps the original intent of the sentence, but removes some unneeded repetition of around and makes the sentence flow better
3. you could maybe talk about what the poisonous smoke does or is used for! is it for hunting? self defence? does it give its enemies blindness, or paralysis? i think a bit of elaboration on these elements could really help to bring the intent to life!

[midnight siren]

also make sure to capitalise this and add a full stop onto the end of your final sentence

[quartz wharf]

second : when POKENAME see someone trespassing it’s territory, it will spread it’s roots to catch the intruder, who will never be seen again. The motif under its eyes sometimes change its appearance and hold a great power.

[quartz wharf]

yes of course

[quartz wharf]

so like : POKENAME emits a poisonous smoke from it’s body in order to protect its territory

with full stop

[midnight siren]

for your unown/trevenant entry, read this feedback please! i can see you haven't fixed the issues i outlined yet, so just make sure you update it before submitting :p

[midnight siren]

it should be its body not it's body, but yep that's what i was talking about!

[quartz wharf]

yes, i was correcting the previous ones

[midnight siren]

ofc, no stress

unfortunately i have RL stuff i need to sort, but i'm sure other people will be around to help you if you need it for the next little while

[quartz wharf]

So : POKENAME is a very mysterious Pokemon. When a group of them assemble to form a forest, a cloak of mist that prevent anyone from passing through is formed

[quartz wharf]

sure have a nice day

[worthy wraith]

What yall think of my entires?\

[gleaming imp]

I have a new dex entry idea. This time for Luvdle (Luvdisc + Weedle).

“It is said that when the trainer of a Luvdle meets their perfect partner, Luvdle will spew out heart-shaped bubbles. The chances the trainer and their partner will stay together due to Luvdle are very high.”

[jagged ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/me-when-its-my-turn-gif-18774778

[quartz wharf]

hello

[jagged ledge]

First sentence looks good. Instead of "a big amount of static electricity builds up;", it should be "they build up a large amount of static electricity." Anyone onwards should be a separate sentence. How can the shock be harmless and nasty? Does it hurt in the moment but fade quickly?

[jagged ledge]

Hello

[soft flicker]

Hi Wild! Wondered when you would show up

[quartz wharf]

is he often here ?

[jagged ledge]

I try

[quartz wharf]

lol

[jagged ledge]

I'm glad Dragon was able to help though

[soft flicker]

He's the grammar king

[quartz wharf]

lol the grammar king ?

[jagged ledge]

Oh please, I'm more like the grammar jester No need for all the praise.

[quartz wharf]

i love the color of your name

[jagged ledge]

Thanks, it's part of the end of the Fusion Day event lol

[quartz wharf]

cool

[soft flicker]

The shock is surprising and really hurts for just a moment, but not very long and doesn't have any longterm repercussion

[jagged ledge]

Instead of saying "This Pokémon... nearby Pokémon", you could say "POKENAME subconsciously uses its psychic powers to gather shed fur from its surroundings and make itself a comfortable bed." Instead of saying "A third eye appears on POKENAME's head to look out for danger while it sleeps", you could say "Its third eye opens while it sleeps to look out for any potential danger."

[jagged ledge]

"Anyone who touches them in this state will receive a momentary shock that stings but fades quickly"? (Also be mindful of character count.)

[jagged ledge]

"Gather on nights of a new moon" maybe? It's hard to tell where a true New Moon is in the sky, so you can't really gather under it easily? Period after rhythm, instead adding "Their gaze remains far away, as if they're constantly looking at something inconceivable." "Ancient folklore describes that this dance leads lost spirits back home."

[jagged ledge]

No capital P in produce. "Its insectoid nature" not it's. Add a comma after nature and capitalize Trainers. Then you're good to go. 👍

[soft flicker]

Yep, thanks Wild! Anything to note on my last one for today? No stress though

[jagged ledge]

"perfect partner for cuddles", not "cuddle-partner". You can shorten "Even though" to "Although". "It is a popular material in the use of making clothes for cold weather because it constantly retains heat."

[jagged ledge]

I was already typing

[jagged ledge]

Add a comma after seas and you're good to go. 👍

[jagged ledge]

What do you mean "When a forest seems more like a jungle"? Also "you can be sure" doesn't fit dex tone because we recommend avoiding second person perspective.

[soft flicker]

What does retain heat mean for you?
I was originally going for that the the clothing itself emits heat, not that it stores it from outside sources. Anddd this great characteristic is contrast to the inability to dye it different colors, making it popular but not like unreasonably so because who want to have red-only winter clothes

[jagged ledge]

I mean my favorite color is orange, so I wouldn't mind

[jagged ledge]

But also in that case, you could say "it constantly emits a pleasant warmth" or something. I'm just also trying to keep in mind the character limits

[quartz wharf]

i guess he means like a more wild forest

[gleaming imp]

???

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, but most people won't easily recognize the distinction or assumed difference. You could say "When a forest is overrun with vines" or something similar. Not all jungles have excessive vines.

[quartz wharf]

yeah

[jagged ledge]

I'm working down the line in order. Please be patient.

I am only one person.

[gleaming imp]

Ok I didn’t know

[jagged ledge]

Try to make your sentences flow into each other more naturally. Instead of making simple short sentences, try to see how sentences can be combined to add structure and become easier to read.

"POKENAME constantly spread toxic smoke in all directions as they move. They grow best in polluted environments, emitting a smell similar to decaying wood."

[jagged ledge]

The first sentence doesn't really say anything. You could say

"POKENAME mysteriously assemble in large groups that resemble forests. They produce a strange mist that prevents anyone from entering their group until they split off once more."

[jagged ledge]

"When a POKENAME sees someone trespassing within its territory, it spreads its roots to wrap around the intruder and drag them away. The patterns beneath its head contain a mysterious hypnotic power."

Remember "it's" is a contraction of "it is", not a possessive.

[quartz wharf]

unfortunately, it is too late for these ones, i already submitted them

[jagged ledge]

Would you be alright with me editing them based on the recommendations I gave you?

[quartz wharf]

yes ofc

[jagged ledge]

Solely looking at the entry as it is:

"It is said that an approaching POKENAME is a sign of an incoming wildfire. These rumors have caused POKENAME to become known as a bane to Campers and Hikers."

But also, why wildfires specifically? Other disasters can happen in the forest.

[quartz wharf]

yes but for me it is the most iconic

[jagged ledge]

"POKENAME's body is made out of eggs that somehow manage to remain fresh. Anything that it coks within its pan will taste delicious, no matter what ingredients it uses."

[quartz wharf]

sure thing

[jagged ledge]

Yes, but it would make more sense to specify if the Pokémon was on fire or commonly used fire. I get Absol is for disasters, but again, other disasters.

[quartz wharf]

but what other common disasters happen in forest ?

[midnight siren]

you could just leave it ambiguous and just say it forewarns forest disasters

[midnight siren]

i mean foliage breaking (e.g. trees falling down), predator attacks, getting lost etc.

absol doesn't just warn against major disasters, it's just disasters in general

[jagged ledge]

Also hi Dragon! Thanks for all your help today!

[midnight siren]

hello!

i mean it is my job here

[jagged ledge]

The structure and concept of the first sentence looks good, but capitalize Trainer and replace all instances of Luvdle with POKENAME. The second sentence could use some work. Maybe say "POKENAME bubbles are treasures as a sign of a long-lasting relationship?"

[quartz wharf]

Well absol warns about Natural disaster

[midnight siren]

i mean even then i'd argue there are more disasters than just wildfires in a forest

hurricanes for one, arguably you could call particularly aggressive thunderstorms natural disasters as well

it's one of those things where the fusion materials don't particularly lend themselves to wildfires in general - the specificity comes from the disaster sensing abilities of Absol, and the forest specifically from Trevenant

hope that makes sense

[quartz wharf]

That make sense but like tornadoes aren't disasters that are specifics to forest

[vivid spire]

There are other natural disasters, ecological disasters, and manmade disasters it could sense, though. For example, high amounts of pests that kill a high number of trees (Beetle Kill in Colorado), Deforestation, Introduction of invasive species (Tumbleweed from Russia to America), or Earthquakes. Sure, Forest fires are what people hear of most often, but as Dragon mentioned the Absol for forests do not necessarily need to warn against forest fires

However if that is what you want in the Dex entry specifically it’s up to you

[final bison]

I want to pop in just to say hello and thank you for all the work you do (and also to approve the entries I send in the form ) - sorry, among other things, if I never write here but I'm Super-shy and I don't feel particularly confident chatting in a language that isn't mine

[gleaming imp]

Got it.

“It is said that when the trainer of a POKENAME meets their perfect partner, POKENAME will spew out heart-shaped bubbles. POKENAME bubbles are treasured as a sign of a long lasting relationship.”

This better?

[jagged ledge]

Wait, sorry. Seeing it written out, I realize I had a typo in my suggestion.

I meant treasured, not treasures, sorry.

Otherwise looks great though. 👍

[gleaming imp]

Thanks

[jagged ledge]

You're welcome, sorry again for the slip

[quartz wharf]

»POKENAME rules over forests all around the world. When a huge disaster is coming, it protects the environment with 1000 roots » IDK about that last sentence

« POKENAME is know for having started a cult around it in kanto. The Pokemon that come to see it dancing are hypnotized so that they come back again. When one of them give it something, POKENAME reward it with 1000 kisses »

[gleaming imp]

I submitted this because earlier this week my mum’s fiancé’s son came around for the first time in almost a year. We played infinite fusion together and discovered that Luvdle had no dex entry. So i decided i would make one and try get it into the game for him.

[jagged ledge]

Oh cool, hope you had fun and continue to enjoy writing

[gleaming imp]

Im hoping that dex entry gets in so he is happy,

[jagged ledge]

Hey we take all Dex Entries that fit the game and rules. 👍

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/218.375/

POKENAME often has blobs of lava over its eyes, which makes seeing difficult. It drips lava wherever it goes, which Trainers quickly douse with water to prevent forest fires.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME appears before others and performs a strange dance that compels viewers to join in. Those who don't dance well enough for POKENAME's tastes will be frozen into statues for their lack of rhythm.

Show of hands, who's getting frozen for lacking dance moves?

🙋

[rich goblet]

I am totally getting frozen lol

[midnight siren]

it depends on its taste

i can do simple musical dancing, anything much more is a no go lol

[narrow cosmos]

You gotta hit that full on Samba dance to survive.

[midnight siren]

we are now 1 unown down

[rich goblet]

Oh no!

[midnight siren]

i have been killed for lack of samba skills

[regal cedar]

Out of tone, describe an individual.

[jagged ledge]

Also cults or active religious worship in general don't really fit the game

[lapis cosmos]

Checking for origin conflict before subbing

Deoxys/Krabby 380.98
POKENAME is an otherworldly virus infecting and controlling a common Krabby. It sits on shorelines, unflinchingly watching passersby. It has a disproportionate fear of serpentine Pokémon compared to other predators.

[narrow cosmos]

Took me a minute to realize why it doesn't like snek

[lapis cosmos]

I didn't think that specifying Rayquaza would make sense for a Krabby puppet.

[rich goblet]

As a frequent poster in the channel, this looks fine, but with a grain of salt since I’m not an Unown

[clear hollow]

Afaik, FAQ says there's no religion in the world of PIF, so people shouldn't include any cults, churches, worshipping, etc in their entries. But also, your dex entry implies that there's only one POKENAME, the one who started this cult, while fusions are species with many members, even when fused with legendary/mythical Pokémon.
-# Also, Pokémon should be spelled with a stressed é, and Kanto starts with an uppercase K since it's the region name.

If anyone could give me feedback on the grammar and readability of these three while I write something for their evos, I'd highly appreciate it #dex-entries-discussion message

[clear hollow]

Its tough mask protects its face from the powerful arm thrusts of other POKENAME. It fights for food and territory non-stop, but even in the heat of battles, it remains respectful of its opponents and thanks them after every fight with a polite bow.
390.524 Aron/Hariyama

[clear hollow]

POKENAME fights with both its powerful arms and thick scull, ramming into its opponents head first before landing a devastating Arm Thrust. The holes in its palms and helmet help release the excess energy upon the impact.
391.524 Lairon/Hariyama

For its impenetrable armor, flawless battle style, and fighting etiquette, this Pokémon was admired and honored by warriors for centuries. POKENAME only picks fights against its equals and tries to pierce through their weak spots with its palm spike.
333.524 Aggron/Hariyama

I'd love to hear feedback regarding these three as well

[ebon warren]

||Including the Dex number file names helps to confirm lore for the two base Pokémon. I typically reference the base Pokémon's Dex entries if I don't already know them.||

[clear hollow]

Oh, sorry, didn't know! Will do in a few minutes

[clear hollow]

Done!

[soft flicker]

Here are my revisited entries from yesterday:
Pichu-Pichu Fusion
POKENAME like to cuddle and rub their cheeks against others to show affection. If they nuzzle with other Electric-Types, they build up a lot of static electricity. Anyone who touches them in this state will feel a stinging shock but it fades quickly.

Oricorio(Sensu)-Oricorio(Sensu) Fusion
POKENAME gather on nights of a new moon and dance. Step by step, they follow a silent rhythm. Their gaze remains far away, as if they're looking at something inconceivable. Ancient folklore describes that this dance leads lost spirits back home.

Two different options for Cyndaquil/Mareep:
1.
This Pokémon is the perfect partner for cuddles, as its wool is very soft and plesantly warm. Although its wool can't be dyed, it is a popular material for making clothes for cold weather because it constantly emits an enjoyable heat.
2.
This Pokémon is the perfect partner for cuddles, as its wool is very soft and always emits a pleasant warmth. Because of this it is a popular material for making winter clothes, despite the fact it can't be dyed.

[soft flicker]

Another entry, Luvtad for Water/Catch before first gym
POKENAME are monogamous and mate for life. To find a partner, every spring many POKENAME come together and float on the surface, showing off their brilliant pink leaf. Couples who see this gathering are said to remain together their entire lives.

This fusion looks so sweet!

I think the "every spring" should be shoved somewhere else in the sentences? Kinda Ruins reading flow

[rugged socket]

many POKENAME come together?

[soft flicker]

Sure

[rugged socket]

Every spring, mateless POKENAME come together to find a partner, and float on the surface, showing off their brilliant pink leaf.

[soft flicker]

! Exactly what I thought of!

Its obvious that the float on the surface of water right? I don't think I have the space to add "pond" somewhere in there

[rugged socket]

Not sure about the use of single tbh

[rugged socket]

I think so

[rugged socket]

Slightly updated it, think it makes more sense now

[soft flicker]

One character over the cap
POKENAME are monogamous and mate for life. Every spring, many mateless POKENAME come together to find a partner, and float on the pond surface, showing off their brilliant pink leaf. Couples who see this are said to remain together their entire lives.

[soft flicker]

The Pokedex never calls Magnemites magnets magnets, instead calling them units, so I called them "legs" in this one

POKENAME's legs can create a strong magnetic field, which allows it to slightly hover over a surface, though it spends most of its time gliding atop water. When it angles its legs, it accelerates to high speeds, allowing it to outrun most predators.

Another entry: Water/three stage electric

[soft flicker]

"Bright pink leaf" would solve the issue

Or Vivid

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Quilladin/helps communication - Quilladin/Koffing

POKENAME are used in therapy, as they absorb emotions and release them as a gas that a therapist can experience. Their tough shell protects them from harm, so even overwhelming anger is carried calmly, making them reliable partners in emotional care.

[soft flicker]

And last potential DexDoku entry: Water/Fly movie - Wingmel
To remain cool, POKENAME stores cold sea water in its hump and spends most of its time in the shade. This Pokémon finds great joy in decorating its hump with little trinkets and especially treasures anything its Trainer adds to the tiny scene.

[soft flicker]

Imagine being a therapist and this Pokémon spraying trauma gas in your face.

[still adder]

I have an idea for Hoothoot-Hoothoot.

This Pokémon is intelligent enough to craft basic tools and weapons to aid in it's survival. The nests of this Pokémon have come to resemble huts in recent years, sparking debate and controversy amongst the scientific community.

[narrow cosmos]

Oh fooey, my first denial in a while.

[rich goblet]

I’m as surprised as you are, you’re like a veteran dex writer

[narrow cosmos]

Eh, nobody's flawless, it was bound to happen, and the logic for the denial's sound.

Still stings though.

Ouch, saw another one get denied live.

[thorn ingot]

Big watch party on the sheet rn

oh please I know youll find a way around that 😉

youre a better writer than you give yourself credit for

Once again guys:

SUBMIT ENTRIES WITH A USERNAME NOT YOUR DISPLAY NAME

[hexed fog]

https://tenor.com/view/vain-glory-sweet-fairy-gif-6218911

[narrow cosmos]

Slowly but surely I'm getting closer to half of Izik's count

[rich goblet]

I think the people doing it aren’t people who submit frequently

[narrow cosmos]

I feel bad for one of 'em they submitted like a dozen or so without realizing.

[hexed fog]

REEEEEEEEEE

[narrow cosmos]

And heck, I did that the first time I submitted a few, had to ask Izik to change those ones.

[hexed fog]

lets see how many entries do we need for the wild mons still...

oh wow you guys did it!

well done

I'd love to see some entries for pokemon that consume jungle vines

[midnight siren]

I accidentally capitalise my username sometimes

luckily I can just edit it to make it all lowercase

[still adder]

Crap, that was me, one moment XD

[jagged ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-i-understood-that-reference-look-back-gif-14556485

[storm light]

are there any other mons that need entries for the hoenn demo?

[narrow cosmos]

Alright, round two on the rejected entries from the last batch, here's hoping these ones go over better.

[soft flicker]

Are we doing something for spiritober? It would be fun to write halloween/spooky entries

[azure wagon]

oo that sounds fun

[quartz wharf]

Was is that ?

"POKENAME is a friendly pokemon that is welcomed by human. The fire in its stomach is really warm but don't burn people when they touch it"

A nice Trevenant for once

"When a flying blade of grass is seen, It is most definitely a POKENAME. When it produces ultrasounds, every trees in front of it lose their leaves."

[soft flicker]

The fire -> it -> doesn't burn
The fire in its stomach is really warm but doesn't burn people when they touch it.

[soft flicker]

A themed event the spriters do in October. Always a spooky/Haloween/Sweets theme or something similar

[quartz wharf]

Ok

And for the oddish thing ?

[summer saffron]

Why?

[quartz wharf]

Because confidentiality ig

[summer saffron]

I’m not sure you understood what Izik said

[soft flicker]

I think two people can have the same Display name, the username is unique to every user (and doesn't allow emojis etc, which is easier to record)

[summer saffron]

fair
i was gonna argue that no-one knows me as whimsi_call so having that listed isn’t the most useful

but your points are good

[hexed fog]

I think we are good

[hexed fog]

Usernames are required for credits. This is not optional and we will not be accepting entries without a username. Will things slip through? Probably. But if we see it, we yeet it

[jagged ledge]

It helps us find people if there's a question about an entry on the spreadsheet. Rather than scrolling through 5 people with very similar names, we can find the exact discord username to ping.

Also just like format consistency.

[soft flicker]

Last entry! Starter/Fly
Swabkin
This Pokémon places much importance in cleanliness and perfection. It spends most of its time grooming its fluffy white fur or gathering the perfect twigs for its nest. Anyone who soils its fur or disturbs the nest is met with swift retribution.

[alpine thunder]

If we submit a dex entry how will we know if it gets accepted or rejected? Is that posted here?

Sorry if that's a dumb question I have never done this before.

[soft flicker]

In the submission channel it points you to "All approved entries can be seen here" which brings you to a Sheet collection. The sheet approved is ... The approved entries. The Responses sheet is all submitted entry, and any refused entry has an explanation behind it.

I recommend searching by your Discord Username to find your entries

[soft flicker]

I'm indecisive and made a second version
1.
This Pokémon places much importance in cleanliness and perfection. It spends most of its time grooming its fluffy white fur or gathering the perfect twigs for its nest. Anyone who soils its fur or disturbs the nest is met with swift retribution.
2.
This Pokémon spends most of its time gathering the perfect twigs for its nest or grooming its fluffy white fur. The fur needs rigorous grooming every day to retain a water repellent effect. Other birds like to gather its shed fur for their own nest.

[alpine thunder]

Thank you for answering. Very helpful. Preesh all the hard work

[soft flicker]

Too much reference? I couldn't resist
Proynix
POKENAME eat fruits and vegetables, tough their favorite food are red apples. Their code transforms anything they consume into a new body segment, which act as a sort of energy storage. An elderly specimen can be made up of hundreds of body segments.

[crimson ledge]

I think the reference is acceptable, though the entry overall could use some refining:

• I assume you mean 'though', not 'tough'.
• Wording that only serves to add vagueness, such as 'a sort of energy storage', should generally be avoided.
• The repetition of 'body segments' in the third sentence is a little clunky. You can just say 'segments' and it'll still be clear what you're talking about.

[soft flicker]

POKENAME eat fruits and vegetables, though their favorite food are red apples. Their code transforms anything they consume into a new body segment, which act as an energy storage. An elderly specimen can be made up of hundreds of segments.

[vivid spire]

Been a minute since my last entry… work has been a nightmare, but I’ll escape by writing about Delrantis:

#484.477: Due to its fuzzy sleeves, POKENAME has difficulty bringing its claws to bear. Instead, it attacks by lighting a branch on its magma-hot fur. When alone, it cleans mud from its hair to keep its bright coloration.

[soft flicker]

I think it should be "magma-hot fur"

[crimson ledge]

Nice, I think that reads better. Though, I'm not sure if you need the 'an' in 'an energy storage', just 'energy storage' is probably fine. Or you could rephrase it to something like '...new body segment, which they use to store energy.'

[crimson ledge]

I think this is pretty good already, my one nitpick is that I'm not sure if you need the word 'all'. You could just say 'it cleans mud from its hair'.

[soft flicker]

POKENAME eat fruits and vegetables, though their favorite food are red apples. Their code transforms anything they consume into a new body segment, which they use to store excess energy. An elderly specimen can be made up of hundreds of segments.

The rewrite let me add "excess" energy :D

[vivid spire]

Updated, thank you for the feedback!

[vivid spire]

Also thank you for the grammar feedback.

[hexed fog]

How about some pokemon that steal firewood

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/20.383/ POKENAME needs to chew on wood to trim its teeth. When there is not enough wood in its natural habitat, it steals firewood from lumberjacks.

[thick talon]

POKENAME are found near pools of sulfuric acid, idly floating above them while feeding off the fumes. Despite their habitat, the bubbles POKENAME produce don't contain any harmful chemicals.

The heads on POKENAME act independently of each other; when POKENAME feel threatened, they fill the surrounding area with a toxic black gas, covering their escape.

[storm light]

What are some Pokemon that help clean up pollution in oceans?

[safe heron]

Figured I'd put my dexdoku entry in here too.

[thick talon]

Why do messages keep sending twice

What

Ffs discord needs to fix their app

I don't think it's talked about much but any shrimp or bivalve would by default. So like Cloysyer, Shellder, Clamperl, etc. They are filter feeders. Well, shrimp just eat poop, but that still helps

[thick talon]

ohh

[thick talon]

btw do these 2 look good cuz ima submit em

[ebon warren]

Coral reef and other types that live on the ocean floor would also, like sea cucumbers and sea urchins.
You could really look up what organisms filter feed or eat waste IRL and then apply that accordingly.

[ebon warren]

I haven't had a chance to look, I may be able to on the ride to work, give me a bit. (I'm getting ready)

[thick talon]

ok sigma

[storm light]

I appreciate it, but the message was meant to be a writing exercise for people lmao

[ebon warren]

I would make that abundantly clear, people also use this thread to actually ask genuine questions like that.
Whenever we (Unowns) try to make a prompt we actually say something to that effect (here's a prompt idea!) in the message so it is very obvious.

[ebon warren]

You might want to clarify this one if you mean that the Pokémon itself is feeling threatened and spreading the gas, it reads currently that the heads do that. (Simply replacing the first they with POKENAME would do it.)

[ebon warren]

Only minor change you could make for clarity is saying floating above them WHILE feeding off

Otherwise those are good!

[thick talon]

oh alright thanks

those are good edits

My challenge to only use Pokemon without dex entries hit a snag today when the final evo didn’t have a sprite

Time to hit the safari zone

[vivid spire]

Which didn’t have a final sprite?

[rich goblet]

I forgot, I released it after finding a new one It was a special challenge so I didn't think to keep it

I meant custom sprite btw, it had a japeal sprite like most do

[vivid spire]

I was curious, because I’m always looking for other inspiration to sprite

[rich goblet]

I had a feeling that was the case

[vivid spire]

I’m mostly working through Lurantis sprites atm, but always want more ideas. This is part of the reason I haven’t been as writing active

[rich goblet]

It's not a competition so its fiiiine I promise. Though I would love to see more psyduck/golduck love

Plan to do another run of those sometime

[vivid spire]

I’ve been doing a randomized all fusions run currently, and I was surprised how few sprites had dex entries…. Especially with how hard we’ve been working on them.

Also, as an aside, I’ll definitely look into using more ducks in fusions

POKENAME's wool makes extremely fire-resistant clothing when spun into thread. However, the clothing is so inherently warm that it is only suitable in very cold climates.

[thick talon]

I might be dumb but I'm pretty sure you'd use a semicolon in between thread and however

[rich goblet]

I think this one might already have an entry and not appear on the dex site, let me check

[fair zealot]

Do we have a good zekyushiram dex entry yet. I got zekyushiram like 2 days ago and was suprised it doesnt have a proper entry yet

[rich goblet]

The dev has said in the past that he wants to write those himself

[fair zealot]

Oh oki. Well if the dev sees this, take your time

[midnight siren]

a semicolon wouldn't be required here, it's perfectly acceptable to start a new sentence with "However" as long as it links to the previous sentence

[thick talon]

Oki Doki

[rich goblet]

I felt incredibly inspired today and wrote a bunch for the squirtle line

[midnight siren]

quick reminder: make sure you use the correct in-game apostrophe when entering entries! The correct apostrophe is ', so please use it! Also remember to submit a username, not your display name. A username is always lowercase! Other than that, keep up the good work everyone, i've seen loads of great entries today

[rich goblet]

May I make a suggestion to the username case?

I think a lot of folks who get dinged for that do not interact with this channel very much, so pinging them or direct messaging them would be more effective

[midnight siren]

it would! if only they had entered their usernames so i knew who to ping

[azure wagon]

maybe the username notice should be put right on the #dex-entries-submissions so they could see it easier? even though it's already on the form itself LOL

[rich goblet]

I might try at then the nickname, and if isn't them then its just a quick apology

[midnight siren]

i will say it's not just people who make like 2-3 entries and then nothing else, i've seen several time people have accidentally capitalised names/written the wrong names who are very active here and relatively prolific writers, it's more as just a PSA to double check before hitting submit at this point

[rich goblet]

Oooooh, gotcha, I was under the assumption it was something else

[midnight siren]

it happens with the people who aren't in this channel as well, but those entries are (in my experience) more likely to be denied due to other reasons as well so it's not as important an issue

[rich goblet]

@rugged socket

Took me way too long to figure out a LOVE for Ditto but I did:

https://www.fusiondex.org/132.213/
Liquid ooze viscously erupts from POKENAME shells, that shifts and writhes whenever it transforms. It enjoys drinking Berry Juice as a treat whenever it does a good job.

Please image up the cell when you have a moment, I will submit the dex entry shortly

https://www.fusiondex.org/178.251/

A POKENAME once made history by predicting the win of an underdog in a Ponyta race, but they have not been sighted since that time. Fortune tellers and gamblers alike search for POKENAME in the hopes of improving their craft.

@midnight siren I am wondering if this is too specific, I was thinking about this one for a while but was unsure of how specific I can be.

[midnight siren]

excellent question

i personally would say sentence 1 is a bit specific, and can imply that there is only 1 of POKENAME that exists, but i think that sentence 2 is good

[rich goblet]

I was attempting to use sentence 1 to imply that they make big decisions and are elusive, while also trying to fit in the word underdog

It is surprisingly hard to fit the word underdog into things

[midnight siren]

if i was to rewrite it, i'd change sentence 1 to be smth like POKENAME are known for using their psychic powers to predict the wins of underdogs in Ponyta races, disappearing shortly after the results are announced

it's not perfect, but smth like that i think would be fine

[rich goblet]

Thanks! I'll plop that in to see if its char count rq, and I'll use it if it does

Just barely, but it works 😄

[midnight siren]

i definitely checked it was within char count before suggesting it

[rich goblet]

You sure did

[midnight siren]

i've just been helping teach english this morning so it's in my brain

[rich goblet]

Oooh that makes sense

[midnight siren]

it makes it a lot easier to judge grammar when i've already spent a while today doing it

[rich goblet]

I don't even type at the job I do so this is my only way of preserving my english skills

[midnight siren]

the other work i do is coding, so i immediately loose all english grammar skills in favour of wacky syntax

[rich goblet]

I argue programming is all grammar based but is a language no one speaks

Like, it has rules, exceptions and stuff like that

Some things are more forgiven than others, missing a bracket will break you

Or a ;

[midnight siren]

true true

it just feels weird to refer to it as grammar for me lol

[rich goblet]

Oh totally, calling it grammar is like some high level stuff

Potential Clefrogue entry. "After crashing down in a meteor, the Pokemon Clefrogue is always full of energy and loves winning battles for their trainers."

[rich goblet]

You probably want to include the dex number for people to look at the sprite your wrote this for.

?tag calcs

[upper loom]

https://infinitefusiondex.com/: Good for looking at stats, locations, movesets, and type matchups, as well as looking at the inverse fusions side-by-side.

https://www.fusiondex.org/: Good for looking at sprites and fusion names. Also includes stats, but no comparisons.

[rich goblet]

One of those will help you find it

Also there’s at least two clefrogues so this is double important

[silk wagon]

Did my best to try and find the answer myself before coming here but came up flat. Is there a way to find out what mon combos dont have any custom work done for then yet?

I read the whole #spriting-guidelines channel and wanna take a crack at it. Im gonna start with something simple like idk a doduo/voltorb or something, but it would be nice to give some love to mon combos that dont have any spritework done for them/have a very little amount

I hope this is the appropriate channel to ask lol

[midnight siren]

so for sprites, this isn't the channel for that lol

if you want to start work on spriting, basically you need to make 3 sprites and create threads for them in #1050404143807873157 to get feedback. then you can apply for the spriter role, upon completion of which you can then become a spriter and submit sprites to the game

this channel is for writing custom dex entries to go alongside the custom sprites you see in game

[silk wagon]

Yeah no ik, thankyou. Was curious on (knowing now this is the wrong channel lol) atleast which channel might be best to find if there are any combos that dont have art yet if any

[midnight siren]

there aren't channels really

been a little bit since i did any dex entries, might as well get back into the groove

#324.148
Once considered to be a king of the oceans it inhabited, POKENAME exerts considerable power over water. It is said a city was washed below the waves in the past due to angering this Pokémon.

[midnight siren]

hello! welcome to the dex zone ! couple quick things, it is useful for us to help if you include the dex number as each fusion can have many different sprites, so we need to know which one you are writing about! in addition to that, it's useful to show the sprite so we can help make sure the entry fits the sprite!

[rich goblet]

welcome to the dex zone!

[midnight siren]

i would also advise checking out the FAQ for more information on the style of dex entries! the FAQ can be found in the google sheet linked in #dex-entries-submissions

[storm light]

I remembered I had one of these on my team for a while lol (you didn't see that oops lol)

#446.339
POKENAME are dotingly affectionate and will wrap their goo-covered ribbons around their Trainers to show it. The goo itself is known to have calming effects and is used in medical sedatives.

[rich goblet]

Very is an ick of mine because of how ubiquitous it is. If you have room, consider the following:

dotingly affectionate

I know it is more an opinion thing but very is something I try to actively avoid eheh

[storm light]

True, honestly. I'll see if it fits!

POKENAME lures humans into cold water before coiling its powerful body around them and dragging them below the water to feed. Old stories claim that unwrapping the sash along its body will disperse its angry spirit and restore you safely to shore.

[ancient sage]

was told in fusion chat to rewrite a comment i made about regisopod into a dex entry, and i'm not the greatest with describing creatures, nor do i really know how to submit one when it's done. this is what i got:
Regisopod waits for its enemies to come closer before executing them at blinding fast speeds.

[lapis cosmos]

Which Regi? And is this the whole entry?

[ancient sage]

regigigus and that is all i could think of

[lapis cosmos]

Just confirming, but this one?

[ancient sage]

yup

[placid sierra]

I think it would need to be longer.

[lapis cosmos]

It def does need more to it. A good way to get more ideas is to consider the following:

-How does it interact with its environment?
-What does it do when not battling?
-How does it interact with humans? Or how have humans found a use for it?
-Where does it live?
-How does it interact with others of its kind or a specific Pokemon species?
-What stories surround it?

[warped panther]

Couldn't find command 'does it interact with its environment?
-What does it do when not battling?
-How does it interact with humans? Or how have humans found a use for it?
-Where does it live?
-How does it interact with others of its kind or a specific Pokemon species?
-What stories surround it?'

[lapis cosmos]

I also like looking at entries for both halves and thinking what either is super similar that might be extended in a cool way or what is really not connected and what might work.

[ancient sage]

a little hard to come up with the regigigus side due to the pokedex states it moves continents with rope and made regi-trio. golisopod itself is a powerful skilled hunter with retractable claws in its dex entry.
even though this fusion is sitting, i kind of want a new sprite for it. regardless, the pose the sprite also gives is waiting for prey to appear and one of golisopod's entry mentioned it sits in sunken ships. so maybe:

Due to its nature as an ambush predator, Regisopod waits in sunken ships for prey to come close. when in striking distance, Regisopod bolts out and slashes the prey with their sharp claws!

(i do think it would be fine with children, but that is only because it is sitting. it feels more of a predator than a will read children stories from the dex entries, and i doubt that thing creates more regi's)

[lapis cosmos]

Looks solid! You just need to capitalize “when” and you could just say “As an ambush predator,”
Not sure if exclamation points are used in the dex.

Ooh, and since it is the waiting one, maybe “When the prey is in striking distance,”

[timid sky]

For reference, the comment was:

(Patiently waits for you to get close before revealing it does not have slow start)

[regal cedar]

Hi @lapis cosmos, I was wondering about this Castform/Bagon entry.

"POKENAME dreams of flying among the clouds and spends much of its days staring up at the sky. It is deeply sensitive to changes in the weather, often rushing headlong into when sensing oncoming shifts in weather."

"often rushing headlong into [?] when sensing..."

What is supposed to go after "into"?

[lapis cosmos]

Should have been that it’s rushing into the shifting weather so maybe after the comma
“rushing headlong into oncoming, shifting weather.”

[ancient sage]

so how does one submit it?
also, would it be correct to change when to once?

[lapis cosmos]

Yes that swap should work.

Go to the “entry submission channel” and it will take you to a Google Form.

[ancient sage]

for the entry number part, what exactly is the .png in fusiondex, or do i just put 346.475.png?

thank you everyone

[storm light]

#497.36

Legends from the past claim that the fountain on POKENAME's head contained water that would make whoever drank it younger. While the water does not have these properties, it is exceptionally pure.

[soft flicker]

Im thinking of doing some Swablu Fusions later. There is a Wailord Swablu one i want to do, could I use "Cumulus" cloud in the entry, or is it a too-scientific word?

Aaannnddd I have a fun fusion: this one. I want to say that (like modern glass) this Pokémon can temporarily take on different colors by consumin oxides. Should I just say chemicals? I don't know how general known oxides is in english

Pallosand and Magmar

[thick talon]

Bruh it's glass 😭

[thick talon]

I like it 🤑

Is the like modern glass included or is that just clarification for us

[soft flicker]

That isn't the real entry, just an explanation text XD

For the though "oxides vs chemicals"

[thick talon]

Oxides sounds gud

[soft flicker]

maybe I'll include that both this Pokémon and glass change colors with oxides

[thick talon]

I think just the pokemon itself is better

[soft flicker]

That one has a fun evolution too

I'm thinking of sand hourglass .... doom ... something something

[soft flicker]

edit for DexDoku:
Oricorio/Oricorio
POKENAME gather of a new moon to dance to a silent rhythm. Step by step, they tell an unspoken tale, their gaze far away, as if they see something inconceivable. Ancient folklore describe that this dance is supposed to lead lost souls back home.

Working more on Torchsly, but after that I'm finished for real

[soft flicker]

biggest edit for the DexDoku
Torchsly

Either the minimal edit one
POKENAME hates water, so flocks hide together in caves to wait out the rain. Bored POKENAME play with fire while waiting, but sometimes it's lack of training produces a large ball of fire, accidentally setting itself and others nearby ablaze.
Or the complete rewrite
POKENAME are easily inflammable, accidentally setting themselves on fire while playing, and additionally they also despise water. As a result they are often seen flailing on the ground, trying to put the - to the Pokémon harmless - fire out.

"Complete" rewritten DexDoku board @jagged ledge

[azure wagon]

POKENAME throws its stretchy tail across long distances to steal food from other Pokémon. They have even been seen snatching Chansey eggs from their pouches.

think i need some help with the structure of the 1st sentence, it doesn't sound quite right yet imo.

[thick talon]

What's dexdoku

[rich goblet]

It’s linked in the pinned messages if you are curious!

[soft flicker]

A recurring writing event where you get a 3x3 grid and all the column and rows get a promt.

how do i put the png is the 2nd question? where do i get the png from?

[azure wagon]

https://www.fusiondex.org

[harsh pumice]

i can find it there no problem its getting the png into the box thats the problem as the box doesnt accept it

[harsh pumice]

oh

[rugged socket]

[regal cedar]

hi @tough cloud, did you mean for this entry to be for "105.359a" instead of "105.359"?

"Fueled by loss and hardship, POKENAME developed psychic powers and now uses a mystic fire to control the bones it uses as weapons. Despite how tough and unforgiving they are in battle, they are very kind otherwise."

There currently is not a sprite for "105.359".

[tough cloud]

oh hey! Yes, I did. Sorry about that lol

[regal cedar]

"POKENAME's tentacles and bell are covered in an adhesive film which allows it to manipulate the placement of its armored plates. The plates can withstand devastating attacks, so POKENAME generally survives to evolve."
@lapis cosmos

What is meant by "bell" in this entry? "73.396.png"

[lapis cosmos]

The “bell” is the head of a jellyfish

[thorn ingot]

Most people probably don’t know about that fact
So I think it would be better to change it to head

I think that’s faq 6 iirc

Like I would also be confused if it said bell

[storm light]

#197.228
The rings on this Pokémon's body glow in various patterns. It is thought that POKENAME packs communicate with each other using this ability during hunts. Under the full moon, the rings glow much brighter.

[last lichen]

i am thinking: some kind of three-way fusion between the three legendary kanto birds, named somthing like "Triquaza"?

[rich goblet]

Have you played through the whole game yet? Also this isn't the channel for suggestions

[last lichen]

[jagged ledge]

Hey guys, just a heads up that the next round of Dexdoku/Spritedoku might be delayed until tomorrow. I'll do my best to get it done for tonight, I just kinda crashed today because I was busy with a job interview. I just wanted to let you all know ahead of time.

[azure wagon]

[storm light]

Take today and get some rest! Hope the interview went well!

[jagged ledge]

Oh it went great luckily. But thanks for the support

[azure wagon]

for the dex slog cacturne column is complete

[lapis cosmos]

Totally fine if it gets changed, but I’ve also had an unown say that “teaching words” are fine a while back and the sprite supports it with where the shell plates are shown.

[rugged socket]

Wow great work! You've been busy haha

[soft flicker]

Do we do miles or km?

[clear hollow]

Swoobat/Aurorus 567.462

When a male POKENAME courts a female during winter nights, its membranous fins begin to glow and shimmer akin to polar lights. One can feel a pleasant chill coming from the heart patterns on this Pokémon's body when it's happy or is in love.

[hexed fog]

Either is fine

[soft flicker]

@rugged socket would this count for the Dexslog Arcanine/lives in a different place than they were born? I imagine a nomadic herd etc etc.

Arcanine/Rapidash
Herds of POKENAME walk almost 250 miles in a day to search for food and water in the prairies they inhabit. The leader of a herd is decided by a speed competition and regularly has to defend the title from other eager competitors in the herd.

[rich goblet]

title not tile I think

[soft flicker]

Yep that's a misstype

[rugged socket]

Yeah defo, really cool entry!

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/352.182/

POKENAME sews flowers into the leaves it grows. Its layers of vibrant emerald leaves create a beautiful display of flora.

[hexed fog]

@thorny crescent You should consider adding dex entries 😉

[thorny crescent]

what makes u think i can write well smh (ur right)

[arctic flare]

i could feel your proficiency servers away

[soft flicker]

With this entry the Arcanine Promts in the DexSlog are done!

Shows the fusiondex site the entries that are in the game rn, because for Slurpuff/Salamence there are two nearly identical entries from the same person

[midnight siren]

for any measurements, as long as it is consistent within the entry (all metric/all imperial) you can use either

[lapis cosmos]

Aw beans, those are mine. I’ll submit to the dex error channel later because I thought I already had done so (there’s def another out there since this was due to DexDoku feedback)

[raven epoch]

how do i make sprites?

i have the time, i just dont know how

Dex Prompt! ✏️
What are some Pokemon that only show up during certain seasons? What are they doing during the time they aren't normally seen?

[thorny crescent]

sleepy eeping

honk mimimi

[soft flicker]

Could I get some feedback for the second option?

Can I do a dex promt? If yes:
Dex Promt:

How do Pokémon living in the desert find water? Do they use some ability or tool to find some, or do they rely on other Pokémon? Do they store water somehow, or maybe they don't need any water?

[soft flicker]

Tangela/Cacturne
POKENAME hunt their prey by night and hide in dark caves during the day, rooting themselves firmly into the ground and letting their vines grow deep into the desert groundwater. They are very vulnerable in this state, as they're unable to move.

Cacturne/Lapras
POKENAME are very important to the desert ecosystem as they provide other Pokémon with the nutritious water they produce. Only few of them are left in the wild, because in the past they've been hunted by human trying to sell the exotic drink.

[lapis cosmos]

I like the concept and you could make some reductions if it is missing anything you wanted to include (and don't miss the 's' on 'humans'):
POKENAME are crucial to the desert ecosystem as they provide other Pokémon with the nutritious water they produce. Few are left in the wild because of hunting by humans trying to sell the exotic drink.

[jagged ledge]

Yup! Any and every version of their teams are accepted!

[jagged ledge]

I do find it funny how you have effectively the reverse of my entry for this fusion

[ivory pewter]

Oh lmaoooo

Didn't even notice

POKENAME plants itself in cotton fields, waiting for unsuspecting farmers to approach. If it is touched, it expels all its fluff at once and lets the wind carry it to a new field.

[jagged ledge]

Instead of "Once touched", I would say "If it is touched," (note the comma), but the rest looks good!

[lusty chasm]

Hello! I'm new here and I'm mostly doing this for fun (I don't know exactly how to post my dex entry). In any case I wanted to know your guys thoughts on my dex entry for Policott, like ways to improve the flow, grammar, etc.

https://www.fusiondex.org/186.360/

During the spring, POKENAME can be seen riding the winds, calling for lesser Policotts and Polinees to join it. When seeing this, it is wise to close your windows, for they will come and pull pranks, leaving stray balls of cotton where they visit.

[last lichen]

Quick question what resolution (like 30x30) should I use for making sprites

[soft flicker]

#spriter-general maybe ask here? This is a writers chat

[rich goblet]

#1210021946105004052 message

In case anyone wants to know what I've been working on

[last lichen]

Oh aight

[storm light]

This looks alright to me, though you may want to change 'a POKENAME' to just POKENAME as it describes an individual rather than a species.
Personally i would write it like this
During the spring, POKENAME can be seen riding the winds, calling for lesser Policotts and Polinees to join them.

Also are the pranks they pull just leaving the balls of cotton or do they do something else and leave cotton balls as they float away?

At first I thought the Policott in the entry might need to be changed to POKENAME but then i realized you were talking about Policotts as in Poliwhirl lmao

[lusty chasm]

I was planning on having them have other pranks they do, and leaving behind cotton balls as they float away but idk how to portray that.

Or maybe they do other pranks but they leave behind cotton balls as one of the pranks they do?

[regal cedar]

I like this set of entries.

[hexed fog]

I'd love to hear about some Pokemon that chase after cars/motorcycles to test their speed

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/423.78/

POKENAME in peak physical condition chase after motorcycles to show its dominance over its packmates. These races happen often during sporting events, where people can bet on the motorcycle or the Pokémon.

[thorny crescent]

YEAHHHHH GAMBLING

[dull folio]

[queen bough]

Heyo, thinking it would be fun to submit missing entries. How does this look as an attempt at this little goober I'm running right now?

https://www.fusiondex.org/69.77/

As a diurnal Pokémon, POKENAME is only active during daylight hours. When sleeping, it extinguishes its flames and plants its roots to drink from the soil.

[lapis cosmos]

I really like the second half using elements of both 'mon. The first half is fine, but I personally would be more interested in something more about this 'mon that it does during the day.
As a diurnal Pokemon, POKENAME ____________________ during the day. You get the definition implied by the description still then.

[queen bough]

I was considering the same thing

How about:

On sunny days, herds of POKENAME will race each other through open fields, soaking up the sunlight. When sleeping, it extinguishes its flames and plants its roots to drink from the soil.

[lapis cosmos]

Nice revision.

[queen bough]

Appreciate the feedback!

[lapis cosmos]

Whooo! With that I should have at least on entry for a fusion containing each of the first 501 Pokemon in PIF (as that's what the Dex Grid goes up to). I definitely want to keep going with the remaining added mons, but I don't know if there are enough un-dexed sprites atm, so it may be onto the next self-challenge (either finishing evolution lines I have written an entry for OR writing entries for everything so that I have at least one for them as the head and one as the body).

Feedback request because I never got to play Platinum

Giratina/Mightyena 345.503
Trios of POKENAME prowl the Distortion World, seeking challenging prey from within the dimension or any dimensional outsiders. It requires firm but gentle training to win over, and will be eternally loyal to a Trainer that shows it matters to them.

[hexed fog]

@vapid lantern dont cap your username please ❤️

[vapid lantern]

mb

I already submitted quite a few so there may be a few more that are capitalized, sry

[hexed fog]

it's all good

[rich goblet]

@hexed fog I just realized after reviewing my entries I submitted two entries for one pokemon, feel free to pick whichever is better and reject the other one

Sorry for the confusion that may cause

[hexed fog]

youre fine I didnt even see it at first

[rich goblet]

It took me 5 minutes to realize why it was yellow lol

[hexed fog]

I'll need to go through the dupes eventually. I am sure some slip through unintnentionally

[rich goblet]

More for me

[lapis cosmos]

On a tear with those entry approvals and dex entry fixes!

[hexed fog]

I will be uploading them once Kiwi fixes something for me lol

[hexed fog]

We need more entries for pokemon that help refrigerate food for restaurants

[storm light]

#95.461
Shed stones from this Pokémon's body can stay below 0°F for weeks. Restaurants keep these stones in their freezers and refrigerators to keep the appliances cold should they fail.

trying to go about using POKENAME less often in my entries :')

[storm light]

#430.483
Fire swirls around POKENAME as it dances with practiced grace. Its feet are coated in fire when it dances fast enough, leaving scorched pawprints in its wake.

[vivid spire]

Been a little while, life has gotten busy. But I can’t say no to a challenge!

#45.215 Vilesel: POKENAME are found in boreal forests, using their claws to open trees to eat the sap. As they feast their flower gives off sub-zero temperature pollen which is a popular refrigerant.

[hexed fog]

The 15SEP2025 Dex Update has been completed! Please allow a couple days for your games to update. You don't need to do anything manually, it will happen on its own.

I'd love to hear about some herbal sweeteners from pokemon that are primarily used in coffee

[vapid zephyr]

Hi peepaw how was your day

[thick talon]

I wonder if any of mine got in 🤑

Hi people

Dex Fillers

[vivid spire]

Hello! Trying to find inspiration for Izik’s other prompt

[hexed fog]

You can see all approved entries on the google sheet

[thick talon]

O

Where's that

[hexed fog]

read the pins silly goose

it's how you make sure you aren't duplicating an entry since it lets you see all entries

[thick talon]

Oki doki

I'll have to check on my laptop at home cuz ts not working on mobile

[hexed fog]

oh dude the sheet is awful on mobile

I am tempted to create a google sheet that just shows the approved entries and thats it

actually... gimem a sec

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KFjr_bb0S4E1yieICiA3-lFMFuL6RRu8rZEZw_8G5Z8/edit?usp=sharing

@thick talon Can you see it with this link?

This is only approved entries

[thick talon]

Lemme check

Nope just white

[hexed fog]

sorry I cant help on that then 🙁

[rich goblet]

Yeah the sheet takes five minutes on wifi to load on my phone, I can't really look at it lol

Its why I've decided to bring my laptop everywhere

[hexed fog]

I can use this to find dupes at least

I know duplicate entries for alts of the same sprites is allowed but good golly I hate it

just change one word D:

[thick talon]

What word

[hexed fog]

no not you lol

[thick talon]

No I know I'm just curious

[hexed fog]

Like this instance

is it allowed because they're different sprites? yes.

[rich goblet]

Did I ever show you how I did an alt Izik?

[thick talon]

😭 they're the same

[hexed fog]

it's for an alt version of the sprite

[hexed fog]

i didnt

[rich goblet]

One sec while I grab a screenshot

[thick talon]

I thought dex entries were used for every sprite of that pokemon

Like one across all

[hexed fog]

but like they could easily have written, "upsetting to both" and "near-endless rage"

[hexed fog]

nope theyre sprite specific

[thick talon]

Ohh

[hexed fog]

see I like that

[rich goblet]

This is one I feel particularly proud of because it felt like two different entries

[thick talon]

I like that tbh

[hexed fog]

well especially since alts can look TOTALLY different

[rich goblet]

Oh 100%, The Oricorio line is especially vulnerable to the boring one word replacements

[hexed fog]

like I said, it's allowed but it doesnt stop me from being grumpy lol

[rich goblet]

I have done it here and there but I do my best to keep variety

[azure wagon]

I see my original entry got denied for FAQ 9 (entry should describe entire species), is this better wording?

Despite POKENAME's body being made from soil and wood, these Pokémon have been active since ancient times. During the day, it has been observed relocating bug Pokémon from crops with gentle care.

[hexed fog]

much better, since it doesnt say a group of people specifically made it

it jsut says it is made up of those materials, which is fine

well done 🙂

also just removed a few duplicate entries... remember yall you can only write one description per sprite per person. They slip through but I think I got them all

I also found another non-username that somehow slipped through, it has been purged

I'd love to hear more about some pokemon that rub mud on themselves to stay cool

[narrow cosmos]

I wonder which one of my accidental doubles on Swinub/Onix survived.

I find it funny they were at least fairly distinct.

[soft flicker]

Random word generator gave me "harmonious, distance and excited." Is this idea anything?
This Pokémon can be found above the clouds on the highest mountains. The mountain they live on is claimed as theirs. When POKENAME get exited they sing and their harmonious songs can be heard from a great distance, echoing in the mountain valleys.

[hexed fog]

POKENAME dwell above the clouds atop the tallest peaks, claiming the mountain as their own. When excited, they sing in unison, their harmonious calls echoing for miles through the valleys.

how about this

[hexed fog]

Ugh I want to go ham on some of these entries

[thick talon]

All of my entries were approved 🤑

Ima spend today coming up with dex entries

[storm light]

What do you mean?

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME can patrol an entire mountain range at fantastic speeds. When it encounters someone in its territory, it rams into them with its iron horns.

Dexdoku (Dog/Steel) also wrote this one for a friend that showed me this fusion

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME lives among the treasures of sunken ships. It can make its scales glow, inciting greed in those around it.

Dexdoku (Prankster/2-stage)

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME's spined back and jagged claws help it savagely attack its prey. It surprises foes by curling into a spiky ball and dropping on them from the sky.

Dexdoku (Yellow/Brock)

[ivory pewter]

Its high-speed movement causes its fur to generate debilitating static fields. Once a foe is paralyzed, it carries them off to devour at its own pace.

Dexdoku (Yellow/Misty)

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME makes for a fantastic guard dog, with its terrifying howls deterring intruders. It uses its gigantic maw to clamp down with incredible strength.

Dexdoku (Dog/Brock)

[regal cedar]

Hey @rich goblet , did you mean for these to have two different sprites?

[rich goblet]

Oh shoot, I was distracted and forgot if I submitted for it already

Please use the second version if possible

This is what I get for trying to sneak an entry while working lol

[regal cedar]

the one that mentions the "tail on its back" seems to imply the main sprite, there's another without one

[rich goblet]

Correct!

[regal cedar]

did you want one for each

[rich goblet]

That's a great idea, I was about to write a third one lol

[thick talon]

The bud found on their backs produce spores that induce sleep in those who inhale. When threatened, POKENAME will fill the air with these spores, fleeing while their foe sleeps.

Thoughts 🤑

[regal cedar]

I do think it's a bit odd how it mentions the claws and then it's definitely just the back that gets used in the next savage attack. Not a "wrong" detail, though, so I think overall it's fine.

[thick talon]

POKENAME are very territorial, becoming violent when an intruder enters their territory. To attract females, male POKENAME will release sweet smelling spores from the bud on their back.

[regal cedar]

....When does Misty get a Garchomp or Galvantula?

[ivory pewter]

Garchomp in the rematches

Her rematch team has wild stuff on it

[regal cedar]

oh shoot for real???????

[ivory pewter]

Yeah ot's fused w/ gyarados

[regal cedar]

I think I could argue the semantics of static electricity and speed and how it would probably involve another surface, but it's also an electric type and who cares. Good use of its hunting speed vs. its eating speed.

should be "high-speed" if movement is involved

[ivory pewter]

Implication is supposed to be that it moves fast enough that air friction causes the static buildup

[regal cedar]

ye

[ivory pewter]

Thx for the hyphen note tho

[regal cedar]

It might not sound as well when spoken aloud, but, logically, I feel the the second clause of the first sentence and content of the second sentence should be switched. Its ability to have a deterring howl seems more relevant to it being a good guard dog than a powerful jaw.

[azure wagon]

do we take the size of the pokemon as its listed in the dex in account? for example i wrote in a draft that this mon (208.533) could help miners as a cute lil lantern-helper before realizing its 16 feet tall-

[regal cedar]

Hmmm. Will get back to you on this.

[thick talon]

LOL

[ivory pewter]

Tweaked a bit. Alt version in the 2nd box

POKENAME polishes its armor in a nest made of metal scraps. Stolen pieces of machinery can often be found among these nests.

Dexdoku (Prankster/Steel)

[thick talon]

POKENAME rest by sleeping on tree branches, often being mistaken for fruit. If a pokémon does attempt to eat it, POKENAME will flap their wings violently, spreading toxic spores in order to escape.

[ivory pewter]

It chants incantations that lull people to sleep. Once its victims are asleep, it eats their dreams, leaving them with awful nightmares.

[storm light]

Prompt time! ✏️
What are some Pokemon that help clear debris from city streets and sidewalks?

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME will attempt to prove itself as the leader among group of Pokémon. Once it proves itself, it uses electrical currents to coordinate maneuvers among its teammates.

Dexdoku (Yellow/Steel)
Unsure how I feel abt this one. Bisharp's kinda weird to write for since so many of its entries involve pawniard. Figured I wanted to go for a vibe where it still kinda assumes that leadership role

It goads opponents into approaching, then encases them in webbing to hold them close. If its prey continues to struggle, it rains blows upon them until they're too weak to escape its webbing.

Dexdoku (Dog/2-stage)

Aw damn, already an entry for that one

[midnight siren]

remember that there can be multiple entries per sprite

[ivory pewter]

Yeah but I'd really prefer to help fill out non-existing ones

[midnight siren]

fair enough

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME's pride and vengeful nature mean it won't give up a fight, no matter how hard it seems. This sometimes leads to it appearing overly cruel towards weaker foes.

Dexdoku (Dog/2-stage)

[thorn ingot]

I'm confused on a note I got on why an entry of mine was denied

This was the dex entry: 132.560.png "To keep itself entertained, POKENAME transforms a part of its body into Diteal to balance and spin on its nose. It can perfectly memorize a Pokémon to transform into by studying it meticulously with its whiskers."

and this was the note: "creating previous evolutions of itself is not something either pokemon has the ability to do"

The reason I'm confused is because ditto is known to be able to transform itself into anything it wants so how would it not have that ability to do so?

[azure wagon]

ditto can transform yes but not make a new ditto/clone probably reword it so its just creating like a general object (ball)

[regal cedar]

Can ditto split into two and control each part seperately??

[thorn ingot]

It isn’t cloning though it’s just transforming into a a different pokemon

[thorn ingot]

Yes bulbapedia directly states that

[regal cedar]

Ah yes, the infamous cards that have Koffing exploding into pieces.

[thorn ingot]

I mean if ditto can transform into pokemon that also have multiple heads/bodies like klink then it can also apply to other stuff

[hollow nimbus]

The Carddass cards aren't all part of modern canon

[thorn ingot]

That’s fair

[hexed fog]

If the sprite actually showed the other poke on it I'd be more inclined but it doesn't :/

[storm light]

Not only Koffing, but Golem and Electrode as well lol

[narrow cosmos]

I think I made an entry for a sprite that must have been based on that, because the sprite had the Pokemon shattered in pieces.

[regal cedar]

it's fine, you can use the size you wanted

[azure wagon]

huzzah

[narrow cosmos]

Also kinda interesting to see notes left on entries of mine while being judged. "great, thanks" You're welcome? That was amusing, though the rest always make me feel self-conscious when I get "grammar"'d and other corrections.

Also it's kinda wild how caught up we are now, getting down the Izik pile and whatnot, now there's only currently a small amount of entries left un-judged, at least at the moment.

[regal cedar]

those are mine. smoochum kisses (it's very good, i do the same thing with my entries, just imagining it...shivers)

[narrow cosmos]

Psychic damage must be taken in order to somewhat adhere to the quirks of the fusion's components.

[thorny crescent]

#371.58 - POKENAME are loyal and trustworthy creatures who will fiercely protect their trainer's keys and other valuables no matter what. This includes digging holes to bury them. If given an important key, they wear it proudly.

see vcausde dogs bury important things to them to hide them and keep it safe:)))

look at this fella i bet its so happy to be entrusted with an important key by its trainer what a good boy
