@azure wagon hello, i'm gonna try out janu-airy thing is, i had my dear @/stillnodots help me in shopping for sprites to write for and uh... let's just say a lot of them he purposefully made a challenge, to say the least 💀

anyway, excited to try out this challenge :)

[azure wagon]

Can't wait to see what you'll be cooking up

[crisp forge]

same goes to you! may ur new year be brimming with hope, joy, love, and fulfillment

[acoustic scarab]

I came home from work to roses from my boyfriend and a dog happy to see me, things are looking very bright on that front ❤️

[crisp forge]

speaking of cooking

Janu-airy Day 1 ! "Sunrise"
Slursey 492.113

[regal cedar]

For today's warmup, please research a Pokemon that lives in the desert.

[rich goblet]

Keep the old one! Thanks for checking

[rich goblet]

I want to say how thankful I am to contribute to this project. As a person who struggles with depression, having a few daily entries to make me feel productive has greatly improved my sense of self. Even if I only write one entry for a day, I still feel proud of myself for it. Keep writing everyone, we have a long way to go.

[wanton plume]

That's really cool to hear. Sometimes even the smallest of creative endeavours is enough to help get through tougher times

I figure I'd give his other sprite one too
POKENAME's core produces intense radiation and devastating swirling winds that smell of sweet ammonia and sulfur. Objects tend to gravitate towards this Pokemon's center, where they are often vaporized in the localized storm of magnetized hydrogen.

(that means he smells like piss and rotten eggs btw)

Isn't space magical

[oak wyvern]

made a dex entry to celebrate the new year

Jigon-Z [381.275]
POKENAME loves celebrating the new year and will propagate itself via email to spread this jubilee across cyberspace. Aside from firework pop-ups and the erroneous insistence that it's 1999, it does no further damage to affected devices.

[hexed fog]

@mossy lagoon please stop putting a space after the end of your username when entering entries ❤️ it messes with stuff

[mossy lagoon]

Sorry... I'm just auto filling my name, didn't even realize it was adding a space...

[hexed fog]

@prime lagoon @sharp condor @meager ruin please dont caps your username when doing entries

[hexed fog]

youre fiiiine

[regal cedar]

hi @sharp condor, you recently submitted two entries under 312.276.png. Which one was intentionaL?

POKENAME is reclusive, and its true form is unknown to this day. Any brave enough to try to get close enough to peer within it find themselves frozen in terror from its haunting glare.

The antenna on its tail warns it of spirits invading its territory. Trainers are warned against keeping POKENAME near other Ghost Pokémon as it is often confrontational with them.

[sharp condor]

hello, the first one is intended for that one. The latter was meant for 313.276.png I just messed up when typing it

[storm light]

Happy New Year everyone!

Janu-airy Day 1 - "Sunrise"

Cleflu #35.442
POKENAME gather in clearings to let the sunrise reflect off their wings, dazzling onlookers as their feathers glimmer and shine like stardust. It's thought these displays serve an important role in bonding with their flock.

I forgot the image, don't write dexes when you're tired, kids

[dapper cedar]

missed out on most of dexember with how busy it got, but january is my birth month, so i gotta get on the ball now

Janu-Airy - Day 1: "Sunrise"
#522.279
As soon as sunrise hits, male POKENAME will loudly crow, and try to crow even louder if it hears anything louder than it. This makes them popular as pets on farms, and much less popular in any residential areas.

[soft flicker]

Volcarona/Jigglypuff (Reference sprite to Morpho Knight (Kirby))
Ancient murals depict this Pokémon as some sort of deity. Accompanying texts describe POKENAME as a judge of the dead, wreathing the worst of souls in towers of flame. In reality this Pokémon is very docile, preferring to doze in flower fields.

[violet fable]

I'm gonna have a go at doing ones in my game that don't have any. Can I get a sense check on if this is ok, given I've never done one of these before. For Ratdos (20.130.png)

"A wild POKENAME uses its giant incisors to dig trenches, reshaping rivers and lakes to expand its territory. If it feels this territory is invaded, it flies into a rage that can last multiple weeks."

[azure wagon]

Janu-Airy Day 1: "Sunrise 🌅
Ivyfly #2.508
POKENAME become active at sunrise, stretching their leafy wings to take in sunlight. Bug-type Pokémon are known to nibble on the edges of its wings, leaving them with small holes and unique patterns.

[rich goblet]

Don’t need quotation marks around the entry, otherwise a very solid entry

[rich goblet]

Right at sunrise does not sound dex tone, I would remove that word (right)

[rich goblet]

Much better

[oak wyvern]

anyone know where I can find the Janu-Airy prompt list

aha, found it

[mystic echo]

would this be a fine dex entry for 197.289?
"POKENAME secrets a poisonous substance. Those Unfortunate enough to peer into the crack on its back will feel the weight of their sins crawl down their own back."

[rich goblet]

The second sentence is not quite dex tone, the game is looking for entries that are similar to wildlife entries

Also secrets is the wrong spelling

[oak wyvern]

JANU-AIRY — "Sunrise"
POKENAME are vicious predators at night, using their psychic claws to keep prey in place while they drain its life force. Their powers are weaker during the day, however, so at the first sign of sunrise they will drop their would-be meal and flee.

[mystic echo]

Oof

[rich goblet]

Break up the contraction and this is good, they will

[rich goblet]

I mean you can still submit it just don’t be surprised if it gets denied

[mystic echo]

Mb. Any way I can make it seem good?

[mystic echo]

I already did tbh thinking if I posted it here it would be stolen lmao

[oak wyvern]

like that?

[rich goblet]

Why would anyone steal the entry? It’s for a Pokemon game not a grade lol

[mystic echo]

Also my pc bluescreened so

[rich goblet]

Oh rip

[mystic echo]

True lol

[rich goblet]

Much better

[oak wyvern]

awesome

[mystic echo]

I've just had issues with people stealing my stuff at home so I think it will happen online too

[rich goblet]

Oooooh nah you’re fine, if it becomes a serious problem the Unown team would investigate

[mystic echo]

Anyways, would this sentence be better for that second part "those unfortunate enough to peer into the Crack on POKENAME's back have been reported to feel as if the weight of their sins is on their back"

[rich goblet]

I have to get going, work calls, but ping an Unown like Izik, BoboSmith or RealThree if you need help

[mystic echo]

Peace

[rich goblet]

@hexed fog #dex-entries-discussion message

Can you help them out? 🙏

[mystic echo]

Idk man im stupid and really want that sins on their back to work man

Because its dark/ghost, dark=evil, also there is an obvious sans reference there but also not at the same time but still

I mean if you need to go you need to go but still

[rich goblet]

I think if you rephrase it that there might be a way to make it seem ominous, but using the second person is highly frowned upon

[mystic echo]

Ah ok

[rich goblet]

Yeah maybe like “staring at their back gives people a feeling of judgement”

[mystic echo]

That sounds good

[rich goblet]

Referencing you or your is frowned upon basically

[mystic echo]

Ah ok

Im stupid but thanks

[rich goblet]

Okay gotta go for real, don’t be afraid to ping the team if you need help

[rich goblet]

I said no such thing 😭

[mystic echo]

Yeah but I am lol

My pc finally booted up after blhescreeening so mahbe ill see about actually revising it

[rich goblet]

Take your time, this isn’t a race or competition, nor are you stupid for not knowing some random grammar things

[mystic echo]

dude i hold way too high of a standard for myself. nw

[hexed fog]

Ok what fusion are writing about

Sorry lots to read through and I am very lazy

[rich goblet]

I linked it when I pinged you but @mystic echo will bring it up if they haven’t submitted it yet

[hexed fog]

I cant reliably see what 197.289 is on mobile

I can check when i am home tonight

Unless another <@&1210701164426039366> can help

[rich goblet]

I saw a mass denial around New Year’s Eve so I figure I let you know @hexed fog

Infinex might be infinex21

[regal cedar]

i fixed some of them

but ultimately its the user's responsibility to enter info correctly

[rich goblet]

Good point, did we ever let them know about it though?

[regal cedar]

Unsure.

[rich goblet]

I think if we let them know that the problem will fix itself

Anyway happy new year! I’m going out to lunch with gramps today

[ebon warren]

Other than simply marking the in the sheet, no, I don't think so. The sheet is public so anyone can check their entries at any time. If anyone ever has questions they can always ask here or DM an Unown

[rich goblet]

I won’t lie I forgot that the sheet is public

[cosmic thorn]

Delicious berries grow within POKENAME’s feathery foliage, absorbing sunlight as it soars through the skies. Locals celebrate when the ripened fruit fall to the ground as gifts of the season.

Does this look right?

[rich goblet]

I think so! Very creative regardless

[hexed fog]

Part of getting your entries submitted and approved is following the rules unfortunately

[hollow nimbus]

The most important part isn't the ease of the task, since difficulty is relative
The most important part is that you can ask for help getting things fixed and you can always try again

[rich goblet]

I have slowly exhausted the duck stash, and I need a new obsession to write about

[rugged socket]

Write me a couple of Wooper entries please

[rich goblet]

Yessir

Wooperl #194.562

POKENAME can be found in the deep depths of the ocean where they are covered in a special mucus that protects their pearls and prevents deformities from forming. As a result, their pearls are some of the most valuable pearls that can be harvested.

[storm light]

Maybe some exeggcute entries? 👀
https://www.fusiondex.org/exeggcute/

[rich goblet]

Miniper #498.194

POKENAME often get buried in mud when they crash into swamps. The stagnant waters prevent their rocky bodies from decaying so many POKENAME remain in these swamps until awakened by a Trainer.

@rugged socket Your mail-order entries are here and submitted

Exeggsaur #102.2

POKENAME are soaked in an eggy substance that clings to their leaves. Despite being exposed to the air for long periods of time, the cracked egg atop their backs always remains fresh.

[rugged socket]

Woooo love them

[rich goblet]

Catercute #10.102

POKENAME operate as a unified collective to protect their kin from dangerous predators. While one silky net may be an inconvenience, several nets can pin down a predator for hours. Many eggs and cocoons remain safe thanks to their efforts.

@storm light Your mail-order entries have arrived, please sign on the dotted line

[hexed fog]

keep in mind both pokemon should be mentioned in the entry in some way. once you have both included let me know and I will assist further on rewording

[storm light]

Would something like this be acceptable? Future entry for a later janu-airy day

[rich goblet]

I would flesh out the second sentence to say how they are opposed

Let me find an example that got approved

[storm light]

https://tenor.com/view/taking-notes-notes-gif-17478299096235163441

Something like:
The ferocity of Aerodactyl contrasts with the calmness of Altaria, making POKENAME's nature unpredictable.

[hexed fog]

Would it be accepted as an entry? Yes.

I am really bad at making things sound nice though

eh

I feel like thats super overt

[rich goblet]

POKENAME feel the urge to attack ferociously, but fail to commit the act, leading them to making a funny face

[hexed fog]

gravels are more ground themed and featehrs are more air themed. I get what youre saying

oh

apparently I didnt get what you were saying

[rich goblet]

Or perhaps

"Their ferociousness melts away quickly when they upset another Pokemon"

Quickly illustrating contrast is HARD

[storm light]

I meant the entry as a whole but since Duck mentioned the second sentence needing work

[rich goblet]

I try to leave my entries with as few questions as possible, which helps me keep it simple. It's a stylistic choice that may not always work

I recognize that but still offer input regardless

[storm light]

You know, I think I just cracked how to put it, in a different direction

[rich goblet]

Good!

Let's see it

[storm light]

How's this sound?
POKENAME are often docile around close companions, but fly into a ferocious frenzy when they or their friends are threatened.

[rich goblet]

That's perfect

I can see the gentle yet aggressive combo

[storm light]

From to

[wintry horizon]

Janu-Airy looks fun, maybe ill actually complete it this time lol.

Day 1: Sunrise - Necronite #450.149

POKENAME travels around the world searching for a challenge, following the sunrise as it passes over the various regions. It uses the light of the setting sun to recover before its next bout.

[rich goblet]

If it has quotes around the word you're supposed to use the word in the entry I think

[wintry horizon]

...yeah... wrong sun-x.

fixed it

[polar ether]

https://www.fusiondex.org/honedge+jynx/

Honx - #327.124

Legends state that POKENAME act as psychopomps, guides for Pokémon who have perished in icy regions. It is said that the misty tendrils of fog swirling around their spearheads are souls drifting between this world and the next.

This is my first Dex attempt. Not sure if this fits the style, but I wanted to give it a try.

[storm light]

Psychopomps is a great word, but i dont think it's common enough for the average person to know the meaning off the top of their heads

[oak wyvern]

escorts would be a good replacement imo, since that's what a psychopomp is: an escort for the dead

[rich goblet]

Vocabulary should be kept pretty simple for players (children included)

[storm light]

Escorts or guides would fit better imo

[rich goblet]

I agree, though I now have a new word I want to memorize

[storm light]

I know it only because of when I used to play Pathfinder

[oak wyvern]

I know it because of Kirby

[rich goblet]

This is a pretty good entry! A couple of pointers:

Psychopomps, while a cool word, won't be understood by a majority of players and should be changed to escort or guide to make the entry readable to players.

Swirling around their spearheads is the correct term I believe

Otherwise this is a very solid first entry 😄

[storm light]

You know, now that you said this, I can't help but think these are a great way to help children with context clues for words they don't know, it's so fun

[rich goblet]

That is why I started the vocabulary list at first, but then the Unown team reminded me about one of the FAQ guidelines

[storm light]

Looking through mine I found this one that's the closest I'm looking for. I don't really expect a kid to know what relinquish means, but because the other party in the sentence retreats, it leads quite nicely into what relinquish actually means

[short jasper]

I hope the vocab rules make an exception for my Corsola/Smeargle fusion entry that mentions zooxanthellae 😓

[storm light]

That mentions wha

[short jasper]

I like to throw in science vocab every now and then, hoping the context clues help ppl get that zooxanthellae gives coral its color and helps it survive

[storm light]

Oh! Neat!

[rich goblet]

While neat it is probably going to get flagged at minimum

Someone's going to have to google it at least once

[storm light]

Not me, I'll have to google it every time i see it because I can't remember anything

[hollow nimbus]

zooxanthellae is not known by average members of the population
Relinquish is

The point isn't to make it "kid-friendly vocab", the point is to just not confuse average people

Sure, complex words are good learning opportunities, but we shouldn't overstep our bounds
The goal is to give players a more immersive fusion world, not to prompt them to minimize the game to go look up a definition

[timid sky]

I was about to say that I never heard of “relinquish”, but then I realized that I was reading it horribly wrong. I think that’s a sign that it’s time for bed

[hollow nimbus]

It's also probably best not to mention specific single-celled organisms while writing about the Pokémon world

This is a world where animals don't exist, but seashells and coral can still be found, so it's best not to go into the specifics of microscopic animals

[short jasper]

Zooxanthellae are part of coral so i assume they’re fair game

It’s hard not to nerd out abt coral biology in Corsola entries bc a while ago i did a bunch of research for my Corsola Line entry on TV Tropes’ Fanon Pokédex, and it’s hella cool how much Corsola has in common with real coral

Like, Galarian Corsola is white because cold-water coral lacks zooxanthellae. And bc of that it can’t photosynthesize so it gets food entirely by stinging plankton — which is why it paralyzes you with its branches

[polar ether]

Thank you for the feedback!

I would like to keep psychopomp in there, so I added "guide" to make it more of an appositive statement. Hope that makes it better.

I have used both phrases before, but yeah, "swirling about" is more lyrical, so I changed it.

[rich goblet]

Kids bring the average down /joke

[hollow nimbus]

I just told you they're not fair game
The scientific intricacies of coral are interesting, but their place is not in the PIF fusion Pokédex

[short jasper]

Hi yeah

Heard u

[rich goblet]

I wonder how many times Izik has to press random fusion before he gets one of his entries

For reference, he has the most entries of anyone

More than 2nd and 3rd combined

[ebon warren]

You can do the math fairly easily

Divide his total unique fusion sprites by the total number of unique fusions possible

[rich goblet]

I could but that’s a story for tomorrow’s me

[ebon warren]

[rich goblet]

It’s like a one in 45 chance

I did the division

No decimals because I don’t like them

[thorn ingot]

Most of the time when I click random fusion I get an unsprited one

Can’t make entries for those

[ebon warren]

Daena is showing that Izik is the sixth highest for me? Toad900 shows number one

[rich goblet]

That’s for artist, not writers

Authors

[ebon warren]

Oh I wasn't looking at authors, I misread sprites haha

[rich goblet]

Lololol

[ebon warren]

I got 2.84%

[rich goblet]

Yeah sounds about right, close to 2-3 percent

[ebon warren]

A little more than 4% yes

That's shockingly high though

[rich goblet]

Yeah Izik the goat fr

[rich wolf]

Kecform #290.552

https://cdn.fusiondex.org/KdKMEULNPt297ZwMod7vIA6h/dn/pif/290.552.png

POKENAME wakes early and waits patiently for sunrise. When the sun’s bright rays touch this Pokémon, it transforms into a beautiful array of colors.

Janu-airy day 1: “sunrise” ^

[rich wolf]

It’s 11:45 pm but I’m posting day 2 anyway

Piprow #322.21

https://cdn.fusiondex.org/2k_FxQ7Sz1JuS5AGlueuPTNz/dn/pif/322.21.png

POKENAME are very proud and aggressive, often starting fights with no warning. Despite their combative nature, they’ve been observed gleefully splashing in puddles when they think no one’s watching.

Janu-airy day 2: Feathered ^

[rich wolf]

Prinrow #323.21

https://cdn.fusiondex.org/OXNIFKoKPv-0b2TO70jle6Vr/dn/pif/323.21.png

Living in solitude, POKENAME hunts high in the air above icy northern beaches. When it dives towards its prey, its screech can be heard miles away, unsettling even seasoned sailors.

[storm light]

Janu-airy Day 2 - Feathered

Swellziken #515.281
POKENAME runs at speeds rivalling Johto's Magnet Train, assisted by its lithe body shape. Even at such high speeds, it has little trouble clocking prey and attacking with powerful kicks.

[crisp forge]

Janu-airy Day 2 ! Feathered
Feardra 22.117

-# i honestly am not feelin this entry, but i gotta make do with the fusions chosen thank you very much, my dear dots, for your challenges

[dapper cedar]

first time i've done an entry for an explicit reference fusion, hopefully i did well on that fine balance between referring to the source and standing on its own.

Janu-Airy - Day 2: Feathered
#448.456
An old folktale tells of POKENAME being the victim of a mage that practiced forbidden ice magic. In arctic regions, they appear to block off those who wander too far into the barren cold, as if protecting someone or something.

[storm light]

This one hits FAQ 9, unless all individuals of this species were targeted by mages

w8

okay actually i'm not sure uh I play @hollow nimbus in defense mode

Like on one hand, it's a folktale referring to the species, so at least victim should be plural, but then again it doesn't make sense that the entire Regilucha species would be practiced upon by a single mage.

[soft flicker]

of mages? like a grouping of ice mages or something

I want to write a poison delicacy/ pufferfish-eating ajacent entry, but i dont know what fusion/pokemon i should look for . Im thinking something, something poison/water

[west falcon]

Qwilfish?

[dapper cedar]

maybe couldve worded it better, but its supposed to be a folktale that suggests the origin of the first of the species but isnt meant to be taken as scientific fact
like how some folktales explain the origin of an animal in a supernatural way, but it doesnt explain where the rest of the species came from

[azure wagon]

Janu-airy Day 2: Feathered 🪶

Sneagey #215.16
POKENAME diligently sharpens its talons against trees and rocks. Flocks hunt at night, often getting into fights with other nocturnal bird fusions over prey.

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/duskull+tauros/
POKENAME is the bane of nighttime game hunters. It freezes its target with a paralyzing stare, then charges.

[clear hollow]

The caves POKENAME live in are easily identifiable by the star-shaped prints adorning the walls and the ceiling. These prints are charged with static electricity and glow in the dark.
Luxray/Woobat 332.566

The ability to see through solid objects, combined with ultrasonic waves this Pokémon emits from its nose, makes it an excellent hunter but requires a lot of electricity to use. The brighter POKENAME's tail glows, the more energy it has.
Luxray/Swoobat 332.567

Please lemme know if I should rephrase these, the second one especially. I'm not sure I phrased them clearly enough

[rich goblet]

Silly question but where did the see through solid objects come from

[thorn ingot]

Luxray’s main ability is being able to see through walls

Oh the author roles have icons now

[rich goblet]

I didn’t know this, cool!

[rich goblet]

Yeah they sure do

[rich goblet]

“This Pokemon” should be changed to “POKENAME” because it is the first time you’re introducing the fusion, otherwise looks like a solid entry

[clear hollow]

Ok!

[swift bane]

hi do you think this is a good dex entry
Salamence/Charmander 336.4

Fearless of predators, this Pokémon does not hesitate to venture into hostile areas. This behavior often costs it its own life.

since it's name is salamander and one of its sprites is literally just a salamander I wanted to just display a random fact about salamanders

[clear hollow]

Make sure to include the correct letter in the fusion number the literal salamander one should be 336.4a according to fusiondex

[swift bane]

I dont know how the submition form works

[clear hollow]

It's all explained in #dex-entries-submissions

[swift bane]

it doesn't explain what do I have to type there

[rich goblet]

Milchik said in this post that the file number for the sprite is 336.4a #dex-entries-discussion message

You type that file number and add .png at the end

It also gives you a website where you can find the filename

[swift bane]

ok thanks

[hollow nimbus]

The entry is fine because the entry is stating what is believed in folklore, i.e. the entry doesn't actually claim the species is the victim of a mage, it only reports on public belief

[untold tulip]

POKENAME uses its whimsical appearance to lure children away from their homes in their sleep, leading to their disappearance the next morning. Gengar/Quagsire 94.195

[timid sky]

There is nothing whimsical about that face

[untold tulip]

how about "oddly cheerful-looking face" in place of "whimsical appearance"

[swift bane]

you teached me a new word

[untold tulip]

nice

[pale venture]

I wanna help out by writing some dex entries, is there a list of fusions that don't have dex entries yet, or any way to check them? I just wanna help out any way I can

[thorny crescent]

?tag calcs

[upper loom]

These are our two officially supported Fusion Calculators. Please remember that Tech Support cannot help with any issues on the fusion calculators! If you are having issues or have questions, go to Infinite Dex Thread or Fusiondex Thread depending on which site you are using!

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.

[pale venture]

Oooh I see, so I gotta find if specific ones do or don't, thank you

Question though, if I'm writing for a fusion then I'm writing for every fusion of that arrangement? (For Example: Raticate's head and Ludicolo's body will have the same Pokedex regardless of the sprite chosen)

Just to make sure I know what I'm doing

Also if I do POKENAME's will it autofill the Pokemon name still?

[untold tulip]

idk the answer to your first one but for the second one it will still autofill the Pokemon's name

[pale venture]

Thank you

[pale venture]

Ratcolo #20.497
POKENAME have been sighted rummaging around the trash left behind in the aftermath of music festivals, with some being reported to even hold their own POKENAME-only parties with whatever remained.

Let me know what ya'll think, it's my first try

(Sorry for re-post, I saw that people formatted it in a certain way)

[soft flicker]

No you're writings for one specific sprite. That is why its important to correctly input the sprite data like for example 226.39a is different sprite than 266.39c and both have seperate dex entries

[pale venture]

Good to know, thank you, the dex entry sprite doesn't have any letters on so I assume the one without letters is fine

[soft flicker]

Yes apparently that's the case here :D

[pale venture]

Well thank you Pixel I'll keep it in mind in the future

Hopefully I can help write out a bunch of random pokedex entries for when people randomly encounter/fuse them, I wanna do ones people don't really think about so when they come across it, they get a cool lil detail on their fusion they chose

(especially for random modes lol)

[soft flicker]

I like this entry, but maybe i would wait for some other persons opinion before submitting it

[pale venture]

Oh really? I already submitted it by accident, admittedly

But glad you like it, I thought the "Submit" button was a "Next" button

[soft flicker]

Oh, then I'll be looked at by an Unown. You can see the Status of your entry in the "RESPONSES" sheet

[pale venture]

Responses? Where do I find that?

[storm light]

Try doing a run where you write for Pokemon you catch/fuse that don't have a dex entry!

[pale venture]

This is a really funny idea actually

[storm light]

I know because that's what i've been doing lol

[soft flicker]

Forgot the word in english, but in this link

[pale venture]

I'll think about it, I recently did another run and beat post game, so maybe I'll hit random or some fusions I like and go from there

Oh thank you Pixel!

[soft flicker]

Easier idea: there's a random fusion Button in the bottom calc.
Sometimes I just press the random Button until I find an inspiring sprite

[pale venture]

Fair

[storm light]

I use the random button on daena's site just bc i like it better lol

[pale venture]

There's a few I wanna do for now, but I've never written things for people before, so I'll post them here and wait for feedback next time

[soft flicker]

[pale venture]

Though I wanna avoid legends and a few fan favourites, I assume those are ones people will really wanna write for

I like weird monsters more anyway

[soft flicker]

The most important thing is to have fun while writig :3

[storm light]

Sprites can have multiple dex entries, so write for what you want!

The only restriction is that you can only make a single entry per sprite

Mawgalge #300.572
POKENAME are the bane of sailors all over the world, especially those transporting fish. Their teeth can rip through the hull of a ship as if it were paper, reaching their arms into the storage areas to feast on the edible cargo.

[pale venture]

Oh dw I'm only doing this because I wanna give back to the game I've played for many years

I'm having fun too

[lapis cosmos]

There also A LOT of each Pokemon and fusions since you have the head-half and the body-half

[pale venture]

Well this is going to be in my nightmares now, also awesome

[storm light]

Fun fact I actually came across it by hitting random lol

[pale venture]

Noctwhirl #164.61
POKENAME have a tendency to make nests next to small ponds, using the spiral on their belly to hypnotize prey and feasting until they are full. Once their new nest can no longer satisfy their binge-eating habits, they move on to another pond.

This is one of the ones I mainly wanted to do btw, it became a meme between me and some friends

[pale venture]

Well you write well, I could take some pointers

[storm light]

I appreciate the compliment lol I still have issues with grammar here and there, but I love writing and this has been a really good creative outlet for me

[pale venture]

Yee I get that, I wanna use it as that too, I love being creative

[storm light]

makes me feel like i'm actually doing somehting productive lol

it helps imagining someone catching/fusing the sprite that i write for. I know not all of them are gonna be seen, but every 'mon deserves a nice entry :)

[storm light]

even this monstrosity

[pale venture]

Yeee

I'm also kinda cross-referencing their official pokedexes too to try mimic the pokedex style as best I can

[storm light]

I like trying to take inspiration from the official dex entries if i can't think of anything, but then you get some of the pokemon whose entries are just so nothing burger

[pale venture]

That's true

[storm light]

Game Freak should hire us dex writers for any new pokemon they make smh

[pale venture]

I wonder who even writes them, it might be just some devs that crack down on a writing session or two

[acoustic scarab]

this is how I have so many entries

it's also how I maintain my interest in the game

[pale venture]

I don't want to feel like I'm spamming entries to the devs, do they mind if I make a bunch and send them, or would they rather me pace myself? (Different fusions, of course)

[acoustic scarab]

I'm currently doing an Ivysaur run

[acoustic scarab]

I think as long as the entries are well written (and submitted correctly) they won't mind if there's a lot?

the only complaint I've had is that I wasn't submitting them right initially

[soft flicker]

Sharpedo/Qwuilfish (or however you spell that)
Despite being very prolific hunters, the population of POKENAME has decreased severely over the last 50 years. The meat of POKENAME is viewed as a rare delicacy by gourmets and thrill hunters alike, as the meat is very poisonous when prepared wrong.

[acoustic scarab]

because I put my name in wrong

for, like, 400 entries >_>

[pale venture]

Alright rad, thank you, it's just that I am the kind of person to get inspiration to do something and do it for hours

[acoustic scarab]

@rich goblet pulled me up on that and got me doing it right

[pale venture]

To be fair my name is just NPShi, can't get it wrong, it's even the user

[acoustic scarab]

but beyond that issue, I've had some rejected, but not enough that the Unowns have wanted me to post them here for reviews before continuing to submit

I also mostly write them for me, so it doesn't hugely bother me if one of mine gets rejected

[pale venture]

Ok rad, thanks

[acoustic scarab]

I will say, take word of Unowns above my own advice

I'm not particularly active in this chat

just letting you know how things have been for me

[pale venture]

Oh ofc I just wanted to ask generally

[lapis cosmos]

I’d also recommend posting your first handful here for feedback before submitting them. It helps you in understanding the rules of writing them.

[pale venture]

Oh ok sweet, how long should I wait for review? Sorry for all the questions lol

[lapis cosmos]

No worries! It’s what people are here for. At first, I’d recommend waiting for someone to give feedback or at least a few hours. There’s usually someone on here but not always.

Once you get the hang of it then you can just submit any you feel confident about.

[pale venture]

Alright, I'll keep that second one unsubmitted then

And wait a bit

[lapis cosmos]

Is it the Noctowl/Poliwhirl one?

[pale venture]

Ye!

I submitted the Raticate/Ludicolo one earlier by accident

[lapis cosmos]

Careful on pronoun hopping (sometimes you have its and sometimes you have their).

[acoustic scarab]

I get around pronoun hopping by almost exclusively using their

[pale venture]

Oh, I said its and their to mix up the words a bit, mainly, so I don't say its twice in one sentence

[acoustic scarab]

I'd say pick one and stick with one for a given entry

[pale venture]

Will keep that in mind, thank you

[acoustic scarab]

I prefer their personally as that refers to a collective group (such as a species) in my mind, but there's nothing wrong with using its instead

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah, “they” is usually plural for dex entry purposes (or as a second gender neutral designator for a different entity).

[pale venture]

Understood! I'll edit the post

Dw I saw the edit and it makes sense, the second their isn't needed

This looks a lot better, ty

[lapis cosmos]

No worries! Always happy to help.

[acoustic scarab]

I hadn't realised there was a sprite now for the field researcher role, looks cool!

[pale venture]

I'll write one more up and then wait for reviews on the last 2

[acoustic scarab]

can you get multiple role sprites? (I had a quick look in the channels and roles channel)

[lapis cosmos]

Always good to link to the comment if you want.

[acoustic scarab]

like, can I have dex completionist and research assistant?

(I know I qualify for the latter)

[lapis cosmos]

No idea. This is the only role I have interacted within.

[acoustic scarab]

valid

research assistant feels like the more exclusive one XD

[lapis cosmos]

You have both, but I don’t know how to select it.

[acoustic scarab]

hoping to hit 1k soon, though

[acoustic scarab]

yeah, me neither

I have my eyes on your number 7 spot 😛

[lapis cosmos]

Mine is thanks to some of the duplicate entries for variant sprites.

[acoustic scarab]

yeah, same

started trying to vary those up, though

I'm on 885 as of the last website update

but have put a decent few more in over the past few days

[lapis cosmos]

Oh, you could EASILY take it. I have really slowed down my number of entries (and need to send one to the errors for deletion bc there are two for the same sprite…)

[acoustic scarab]

christmas has slowed me because I work retail (and I'm the manager for said retail ._.), but I have more free time again now

[lapis cosmos]

The Wild Dex needs also really helped because I tore through a ton then

[acoustic scarab]

mine are such a mishmash of theme

it's just whatever I happen to get on my runs

[lapis cosmos]

Oof. Congrats on making it through that rush! I’m a high school teacher, but I think the school year is my better time for writing them since I can feel like I at least wrote something even when I have no motivation for personal project writing

[acoustic scarab]

thanks ._.

I'm exhausted

and I'm already having to gear up for valentine's day ._.

I think I'd enjoy teaching

if it were the right age group

more on topic, I do love doing these entries as a creative outlet, mostly while I wait for my RP partners to do their own posts 😛

[soft flicker]

Important: your user is all in lowercase so you would have to submit with "npshi"

[pale venture]

It's not

That's just discord nitro weird font formatting

Wait, it actually is, when did that happen?

[acoustic scarab]

I'm seeing both

but as said earlier, I'm not the most discord savvy 😛

and I can't be trusted with discord usernames

[pale venture]

It used to be NPShi but now the user itself is npshi and the Display name is NPShi, but it definitely was always NPShi

[south berry]

that's my favourite thing to do too

[soft flicker]

Don't quote me on it but I think all Usernames are lowercase

[pale venture]

Huh, interesting, good to know

Anyway how do I group together electronic devices that make heat, like microwaves/ovens/heaters/etc

[acoustic scarab]

"I think all Usernames are lowercase" - ✨ Pixel ✨ 2026

[acoustic scarab]

cooking appliances?

[south berry]

appliances might be a good word

damn beat me haha

[pale venture]

Yee but I was thinking of ones specifically that make heat in some way, taking from Rotom's dex and mixing it with Flareon's

For this fella

[acoustic scarab]

I think specifying cooking appliances would do it

[pale venture]

Sounds good

[acoustic scarab]

or you could go specific and just say microwaves

[pale venture]

"POKENAME enjoy infiltrating electronic appliances such as microwaves--" not finished but how's this?

[acoustic scarab]

seems fine to me, though trying to think if there's a better word than infiltrating

[pale venture]

Rotom's dex specifically says infiltrating, so admittedly I was taking from that

[soft flicker]

Possessing? Taking over?

Though those are more ghost type words

[acoustic scarab]

that's totally fair

[pale venture]

Roreon #358.136
POKENAME are known to enjoy infiltrating appliances such as microwaves to absorb the heat they generate. This reportedly has malfunctioned many electronics in everyday households.

[pale venture]

This review and the one I'm replying to need review, I think That'll be my last one for tonight

[south berry]

Is there a process for asking spriters clarifying questions on sprites?

Specifically I'm trying to write for this and not sure if this is a mushroom, egg, or a stone.

[pale venture]

Maybe try DMing them? Is kinda funny for the egg to be a toxic orb tho

[soft flicker]

Electronic household?
Is that a word? Sounds kinda strange

[pale venture]

I was trying to avoid saying appliances again, in all honesty

I was trying to specify that electronics in a household tend to malfunction with this pokemon around

[south berry]

household electronics might be a better phrasing

[soft flicker]

It kinda sounds like the household itself is eletric

[pale venture]

Never seen Smart House? jkjk

Changed it to "This reportedly has malfunctioned many electronics in every day households."

[acoustic scarab]

@hollow nimbus, not sure if this is doable or not, but is there a way I could have the Assisstant Researcher role icon beside my name instead of the Dex Completionist? I'm not savvy enough with discord to figure out if it's something I can set on my profile or not and I figure you might have the answer given you announced the new roles a little while back

[thorn ingot]

No it’s not something you can change unless they move the role orders entirely

[hollow nimbus]

The role that shows is based on the internal hierarchy, so no

[acoustic scarab]

RIP

ah well, appreciate the quick response!

[pale venture]

Btw thanks guys for helping out, this is my first time writing for anything really so that's rad

[storm light]

Articuno #144.144b
This form of POKENAME resembles a species of Articuno found in Galar. It freezes prey in place with a piercing glare before blasting them with a mighty Blizzard.

[dapper cedar]

iirc the galarian birds are implied to be entirely unrelated species that just ended up being named after the kanto birds due to their resemblance
so referring to it as "a form of Articuno" wouldnt be accurate

[storm light]

Would variation work better?

Actually no, still implies relation

Could probably just say species huh

[clear hollow]

When POKENAME floats around, small metallic objects get attracted to its magnetic body. Once this positively-charged Electric-type finds a negatively charged partner, it'll never leave their side.
Plusle/Lunatone 531.544

Trainers often get POKENAME for their kids as it makes a great friendly companion and can easily lull any restless child to sleep. Anyone who touches the tip of this Pokémon's nose will be zapped with a small shock of static electricity.
Minun/Lunatone 532.544

[dapper cedar]

maybe yeah
or something like
This form of POKENAME resembles a different species that has been called Articuno.

[clear hollow]

POKENAME's adorable looks and sweet-smelling fur appeal to Trainers of all ages, especially to children. In reality, this capricious Pokémon incredibly hard to train, as it can throw a tantrum and stop obeying for the slightest reason.

Magneria #82.443

https://cdn.fusiondex.org/rV3T-kcGT0bCuB2Hn1iZzb-_/dn/pif/82.443.png

POKENAME loves to drift through raging thunderstorms, its body charged by the storm’s energy. If you listen closely, you might hear POKENAME trilling joyfully between the crashes of thunder.

I’m really happy with this one

[storm light]

I would probably change the first sentence to be more active like POKENAME loves to drift through raging thunderstorms, charging its feathers with the rampant electricity.

Janu-airy Day 3 - Altaria Line

Aeroria 142.443
POKENAME's feathers are coated in gravel and other minerals found in their territory. POKENAME are often docile around close companions, but fly into a ferocious frenzy when they or their friends are threatened.

[pale venture]

I'm not sure how it works, but I'm waiting on a review for these two

[rugged socket]

Is good, I think it's ready to submit

[pale venture]

Thank you!

[pale venture]

Is this one good too? @rugged socket

[rugged socket]

Yep, first sentence could be expanded upon a bit, but it's fine as is

[pale venture]

Appreciate it, I'll see what I can do before submitting then

[clear hollow]

...yes lol

[pale venture]

Whimsidactyl #360.142
Wild POKENAME fly up high to find lush fields full of flowers before divebombing into them to add to their fluffy mane. In very rare circumstances a herd of these POKENAME will cause small pollen storms due to the aftermath of their behavior.

Got another one for ya'll, I hit random to find this one

[pale venture]

Gourwig #490.316
At night, wild POKENAME patrol dark towns to find lost Pokémon and guide them to their next destination. How they know where the Pokémon wishes to go remains a mystery to this day.

These are fun

[forest garnet]

You also want to say "everyday" vs "every day."

The former is an adjective describing something as common, the latter is a daily occurrence.

[pale venture]

Oooh right, thank you

I'll edit it to say that, now

[rich wolf]

Gravel isn’t a mineral, it’s an aggregation of other minerals. So the sentence “gravel and other minerals” that states gravel is one of the “minerals” found in its coat isn’t technically correct.

This could be as simple of a fix as taking out “other” in that sentence to make

POKENAME’s feathers are coated in gravel and minerals found in their territory.

Or maybe something like

POKENAME’s feathers are coated in various rocks and minerals found in their territory.

[rich wolf]

The punctuation in the middle here shouldn’t be a comma, probably a period. Could maybe be a semicolon? tbh I never remember how to use those correctly

[rich wolf]

This one has the same issue

[pale venture]

"..into them to add to their fluffy mane. In very rare circumstances a herd of..." like this?

[rich wolf]

Yup

[pale venture]

Gotcha, I'll edit them now, ty

[rich wolf]

I’ve already submitted this

But I’ll keep it mind for future entries I write, because I agree that a more active entry is more entertaining and makes the Pokemon feel more alive

[pale venture]

I'm glad the only feedback I've gotten so far is how I type something, not the ideas themselves, once I got this writing properly thing down I'll be unstoppable

(jokes aside thanks for the feedback)

[rich wolf]

No problem! I agree your ideas and concepts for the entries are creative and fun

[pale venture]

Uh, I don't think this one works

[rich wolf]

I’m also new so I wouldn’t feel comfortable critiquing someone’s idea for a dex entry anyway, I just feel semi-confident in grammar lol

[pale venture]

New or old, I assume people will be happy regardless of feedback, as it's another person's perspective!

[rich wolf]

I think this just happens with the newer Hoenn pokemon? I don’t think their autogenerated sprites are up on the site. Don’t quote me on that though, just from what I’ve observed

[pale venture]

Oooh I see, I didn't know hoenn was here too

Good to know

[rich wolf]

Ya the developer is currently working on a Hoenn Infinite Fusion game

[pale venture]

Ye I saw, very excited, though I didn't know they were updating the site already before release

Magnegar #82.94 (Can't believe this sprite never got a custom dex!)
Prowling the night, POKENAME like to sap the electricity from street lights and uses the electricity stored to prank other Pokémon with small electric shocks

Last one for a bit

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/duskull+vigoroth/
POKENAME congregate in the treetops at night, their hair raising calls echoing throughout the jungle. The only way to safely cross a troop's territory is with one's eyes closed.

[lapis cosmos]

Be sure to have two sentences (I believe the rule is 2-3). Also, you have a singular/plural change (like vs uses). Without changing much, here's my recommended minimal revision:

POKENAME prowls the night, sapping the electricity from street lights. It uses the electricity stored to prank other Pokémon with small electric shocks.

[hoary totem]

oh yeah since spritepack is out i can submit the entry for one of my guys

[pale venture]

Ah, I put "like" as I thought like would be proper due to Magnegar being its species, I'll keep that in mind thank you pj!

(Also I didn't know about the two sentence rule, good to know!)

[lapis cosmos]

"Like" is fine, it would just be **likes ** for singular noun grammar. I also cut it from the revision just because I like to cut words when able.

[pale venture]

Ah I see, so because it's a species do likes

But ye cutting is good too

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah:
One Gengar likes
Many Gengar like

[pale venture]

Oooh

I got it now, thank you for explaining

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/houndoom+stufful/

Though avoided by most for its combative and brooding nature, POKENAME can be a loyal pet to some. It tends to form bonds with troubled children or school bullies.

[lapis cosmos]

My only question (if there is room) is how does the bond affect either side of the partnership?

[dense meteor]

hmm good question

[dense meteor]

Thinking I think I'll keep it mostly how it is because a giant stuffed hound bullying the shit out of children is probably best left implied

[stuck shoal]

SHIT I SUBMITTED A FLAWED DEX ENTRY

WAS MEANT TO REPLACE "A" WITH "ANOTHER" AND DIDNT AUGH

also jesus christ

[lapis cosmos]

No worries. I just wondered if it made both parties calmer or something! If it's dark, implied is better.

Whew! Finally an Electrike that inspires me! It was the Pokemon that I was stuck on for my "one-entry-for-every-Pokemon" self-challenge (lots of great sprites, just none that were speaking to me), and now I'm past it! Swalot is the next one I have to look at!

"When taste tested, the cake that makes up POKENAME's body was described as "missing something". However, when followed up on a month later, the same taste testers claimed that now everything they ate sported the same issue."

"The prongs jutting out of POKENAME are a part of its metal skeleton, which exudes a cold chill that keeps its body at a low temperature. Researchers discovered this when POKENAME's body was melted in battle, exposing its skeletal structure."

[dapper cedar]

Janu-Airy - Day 3: Altaria Line
#255.443
On clear, sunny days, POKENAME will fly high in the sky and cast hexes to create harsh winds and dark clouds. Because of this, a group of POKENAME are often referred to as "a hurricane of POKENAME".

[stuck shoal]

331.492.png
POKENAME shed the metal on their bodies periodically. After this occurs, they will use the scraps to forge blades they store in the naturally forming slots found on their helms and backs.

312.501.png
Upon evolution, POKENAMEs' once soft bodies begin to harden into a dry, tough shell. Unfortunately, these shells crack easily and require constant repairing and bandaging.

[violet fable]

does pokemon prefer metric or imperial units

[slim solstice]

Any will be right

[stuck shoal]

313.501.png
Despite its gloomy symbolism as a "broken heart", POKENAME are a good sign of the dedication of their trainers. Any cracks a POKENAME gained as a Duscdisc tend to heal, leaving golden scars.

289.86png
POKENAME can't swim well thanks to their hollow, brittle bodies and end up trapped on the surface of the water. They can easily be mistaken for shed exoskeletons.

[storm light]

I believe this one hits FAQ 7, as it sounds like it relies on the previous evolution having something it may not have or someone may not have seen

[regal cedar]

At the very least, the 'cracks' would have to be explained.

[violet fable]

No-Unfusing Nuzlocke fusion - Parados #47.130 (47.130.png)
POKENAME's spores are highly infectious, and can lie dormant in its prey for months at a time before sprouting into fungal growths. The large mushroom on its head compels POKENAME to spread the infection as broadly as possible.

[polar ether]

https://www.fusiondex.org/marowak+stantler/

Decided to take a stab at a favorite of mine. What do you all think?

Legends state that POKENAME are always hungry, ravenous, and never satiated. They reside in caves filled with the bones of Pokémon and humans alike, lying in wait for the sound or scent of their next meal.

[violet fable]

No-Unfusing Nuzlocke fusion - Tanking #114.34 (114.34.png)
Despite its fearsome appearance and large size, POKENAME is a gentle giant. POKENAME spins the tangling vines on its forehead around at high speeds when threatened, startling predators and allowing it to make a quick getaway.

[rugged socket]

DexSlog: Alakazam/Ripple - Solosis/Alakazam 406.65

POKENAME live in perfect stillness, reflecting on the world around them. Should they need to move, they latch onto a passing Pokémon. When the membrane surrounding them begins to ripple, it means that evolution is imminent.

[polar ether]

Nice entry! The only thing I can see is half the entry is singular (its, is, it) and the other half is plural (spin, their).

[violet fable]

ah damn good catch

[stuck shoal]

would it be better to say "any injuries" since that's more abstract?

[violet fable]

No-Unfusing Nuzlocke fusion - Spearlett #21.50(21.50.png)

Its primary habitat is rough and rocky canyons. POKENAME is rarely seen in the daytime, as it burrows underground and only emerges for short periods of time to forage for worms and grubs.

[wanton plume]

Oh man, I just checked and saw my last too submissions are numbered wrong. What do we do there, do I just resubmit them with the correct numbering?

Actually wait, it is the correct number

Why is the sprite on the sheet just wrong then? Weird

[thorn ingot]

I’ve had those images act a bit weird before and show the wrong sprites but then after a while it just randomly fixed itself

[wanton plume]

Ah cool

[thorn ingot]

Just like give it a day to see if it fixes

[wanton plume]

Oh no, never mind I did get it wrong

[thorn ingot]

Oh lol

[wanton plume]

I wrote 334 instead of 344

[thorn ingot]

Go to #custom-dex-errors then

And follow The pinned instructions on how to do a report

Weird af autocorrect

Wasn’t even English

[wanton plume]

I have to wait until it gets reviewed first right

[thorn ingot]

Nah for file names you don’t have to

[wanton plume]

Ah cool

[storm light]

Nosegross #325.293
POKENAME cannot see well, instead using their nose and the holes on their feet to smell their surroundings. It is thought they can map an entire continent by smell and are intelligent enough to remember specific places for decades.

Not sure how else I could fit in the Metagross portion other than making mention of how smart it is tbh, I'm open to suggestions

[wanton plume]

The mention of intellect is enough for me, if you really need to bring in a Metagross aspect.

In terms of what Metagross is just from his dex entries, we know he's smarter than a supercomputer, is made up of 2 metang (4 beldum), and like idk, pins down prey with it's legs and eats them

A museum display once seemingly came to life and terrorized visitors. It was believed to be an undiscovered Pokémon, but later discovered to be a POKENAME behaving erratically.

[soft flicker]

Articuno/Meloetta Pirouette
POKENAME can often be observed dancing upon frozen lakes, moving as if on solid ground. They always end these performances by pirouetting, the motion summoning a strong hailstorm. While all sight is obscured in the storm, the POKENAME will vanish.

[soft flicker]

Blaziken/Meloette Pirouette
POKENAME are friendly and energetic Pokémon that can sometimes be observed hyping up insecure Pokémon before a competitive event. Their dance style has sometimes been confused for attacks, with the style consisting of fast foot movements and kicks.

Missing a word

“…but was later discovered to be a POKENAME behaving erratically.”

[soft flicker]

Hmmm is there a word that encompasses show contests and fighting matches?
It seems like a Pokémon that would hype everyone up, regardless what for

[rugged socket]

Spectacle?

[soft flicker]

"Hype up before a spectacle"?
I was thinking more of like "event" or "tournament", but the former is too vague and the latter has a fighting connotation

[dapper cedar]

competitive events, maybe?

[soft flicker]

Porygon/Meloetta Pirouette
A POKENAME is one of the more friendly virus-like Pokémon one can get on their electronics. If the device has a screen, the Pokémon will appear and dance a few seconds to an 8-bit tune that begins to play, even if the device has no speakers.

Imagine you somehow get the Pokémon on your smart fridge and it just dances a jig with music from nowhere and then dissappears.

[hollow nimbus]

Saying that it's a virus isn't quite accurate, as all fusions are Pokémon
You can say that it acts as a virus, though

[soft flicker]

Infection?

Just wanted to underline the possession aspekt a bit

Virus-like Pokémon?
Have to see if that fits

[hollow nimbus]

Infection is a word used for biological organisms, so that doesn't really fit either.
Virus-like Pokémon would work

You could go the more vague route too and call it a problem instead of a virus

[soft flicker]

Yep does fit

Deslog - Changing states
Altaria/Meloetta Pirouette
When dancing in the air, a POKENAME will use its entire environment to enhance the performance by floating and falling through the clouds. It can change its weight by changing the density of its cloud-like wings, making them more liquid or gaseous.

The petals on POKENAME's wings are extremely sharp, allowing it to cause minor cuts to opponents and eventually overwhelm them. It needs a wide variety of food including meat and vegetables to maintain its vibrant coloration.

[soft flicker]

Today is my Pirouette Meloetta-day. I've got another 8 in my want-to-do-list

Miltank/Meloetta Pirouette
A POKENAME makes the whipped cream on top of its head itself. To begin, it secretes a milk-like liquid on its head and starts spinning. The spinning force congeals the liquid to a cream and the longer it spins, the fluffier the whipped cream becomes.

[soft flicker]

DexSlog - Trance
Lombre/Meloetta Pirouette
Some say that near a lake at night, you may see a POKENAME dance, swaying as if in a trance. It will close its eyes and move like the wind itself guides its body, only the sounds of nature acting as its accompaniment and the moon as its spotlight.

I quite like this one but maybe it strays too much from the pokedex style

If accepted this entry completes the Meloetta-colum in the DexSlog

[ebon warren]

I was there when this sprite was made

[rugged socket]

@marble vapor are you still planning to finish your Drifblim and Trevenant mascot entries for DexSlog? No pressure it's just that it's almost finished!

[marble vapor]

Sorry thanks for the reminder, I’ve fallen off/was busy with the holidays and SacAnime. I’ll try my best to get that one done later today or tomorrow if that’s fine?

[rugged socket]

Yeah not a problem you've still got a couple of days

[hexed fog]

@bitter tulip @mystic echo @west falcon @pale venture @ionic radish Please dont caps your username during submissions ❤️

[pale venture]

Sorry, I'll keep that in mind in the future!

[ionic radish]

Understood. Will keep this in mind in the future!

[pale venture]

Just a quick question, when do they get reviewed? Just so I know, sorry if you get asked a lot I'm just excited

[summer saffron]

pretty sure it’s whenever izik gets around to it so usually every couple of weeks

[pale venture]

Oooh ok Thank you

[hexed fog]

I usually do it when everything is cleared out. Since the izik entries aren't being cleared up itll be up to the <@&1210701164426039366> to get their booties moving

[pale venture]

Ooh I see

[midnight siren]

I have literally like an hour ago made it home after my holiday and shall be (hopefully) clearing the izik pile over the next day or two

[hexed fog]

@flint wave please remember entries can only be submitted for sprites in the game

[storm light]

The joy of watching my entries be approved in real time

[bitter tulip]

My bad its been a bit

[mystic echo]

k. mb. did mine get rejected

[hexed fog]

huh? why would I reject you for that lol

just a reminder

[mystic echo]

idk

i was just asking if it did get rejected

[rich goblet]

You can check on the Google sheet linked in #dex-entries-submissions on the approved sheet, or the responses sheet if you want to check on the status in general

[regal cedar]

Want to do something with Honchkrow and Nidoran being a martiarchal figure...

Although each head has a unique brain and personality that sometimes cause squabbles amongst one another, it allows POKENAME to have a powerful memory and incorporates everything it has learned throughout its life to its overwhelming battling style.

Well, for now. https://www.fusiondex.org/machamp+dodrio/

[pale venture]

Out of curiosity, do we get told if an entry is rejected?

[regal cedar]

It will be in the sheet, but no, there is no message letting you know in Discord.

Mostly since that's a lot of messages, since we deal with thousands.

[pale venture]

That's understandable, but I thought I'd ask, thank you!

Ooh I see it now!

Glad to know sorry again for capitalising my username, it's just a habit

[mystic echo]

ah so it was rejected...

[regal cedar]

Resubmit if it was just from the username.

[storm light]

Yall should write an entry for a Suicune fusion!
https://www.fusiondex.org/suicune/

Ledcune #166.245
POKENAME appear during meteor showers, dashing across land and sea as if chasing the falling stars. Areas where the meteors fall often have a source of pure spring water nearby, leading some to believe it was left by POKENAME as a blessing.

[azure wagon]

Janu-Airy Day 3: Altaria Line ☁️

Stuffria #451.443
POKENAME's thick down is often used as stuffing for plush toys. When angered, it swings its neck with immense force, concussing those unlucky enough to be near it.

Janu-Airy Day 3: Aerodactyl Line

Tordactyl #488.142
During battle, POKENAME blows thick smoke from its nostrils to obscure itself and gain advantage over its foes. It prefers to live in caves rich with coal and other minerals.

[storm light]

Janu-airy Day 5 - "Breeze"

Espflame #196.372
By focusing its psychic power, POKENAME can sense even the slightest variation in the breeze. It uses this ability to predict exactly when prey will fly by, striking in the blink of an eye.

[azure wagon]

Janu-airy Day 5: "Breeze" 🌬️

Wingsea #516.116
To conserve energy, POKENAME glides on sea breezes. When it spots prey below, it shoots out a powerful blast of water to stun them before diving down to finish them off.

[timid sky]

POKENAME can turn any body of water into a relaxing hot spring by heating the water to just the right temperature. POKENAME can use these hot springs to heal itself from almost any injury.

[rich goblet]

@hollow nimbus

EDIT: See below for a fun war entry :3

[rich goblet]

204.168.png
POKENAME are trained by demining experts to remove mines from old war-torn fields. Their long legs allow them to safely remove bombs without risking an explosion. They are allowed to explode next to the mines once they both reach a safe location.

I must have mistyped one, let me check

[hexed fog]

3 :/

[terse tide]

3?!

[hexed fog]

81.365a.png POKENAME zip through city streets spinning, accidentally scattering stray flames in their excitement. Their erratic movements frequently set dry structures ablaze, as they cannot fully control their purple flames. jaminmcready 1/5/2026 0:50:50
82.255a.png POKENAME can separate itself into three pieces that roll through the streets searching for lost change. It then gathers the coins and leaves them on the doorsteps of those it believes are in need. jaminmcready 1/5/2026 0:51:15

189.551.png POKENAME can detach an eyeball and still see through it no matter how far away it is. They are known for sneaking an eye into their Trainers' bags just to keep track of where they go during the day. jaminmcready 1/5/2026 0:49:11

[terse tide]

Wow I messed up. Can I report the correct versions here or should I do it in the custom dex errors channel?

[hexed fog]

errors please

@open marsh please get your entries reviewed here before submitting more.

[terse tide]

It was 5 errors

[storm light]

<@&306953740651462656> bots back at it again

[wanton plume]

[hexed fog]

@hollow quartz Please don't do all caps for random pokemon names like Rhyhorn ❤️

[hollow quartz]

apologies, I did so out of habit of recalling older gen entries capitalizing all of the individual pokemons' * names--which I realized after that I might have experienced a mandela effect about

[rich goblet]

You're fineeeee, just a moving forward sorta thing

[hollow quartz]

yeah i get it, i was also just randomly struck with inspiration that day so I kinda experienced a blur of ideas to try and put out--sorry as well for how many ideas I put out that day 😅

[hexed fog]

The 05JAN2026 Dex Update has been sent. Please allow it some time to activate. You don't need to manually update it will happen automatically as you open the game.

[hexed fog]

The first 6 months of the denials for 2025 have been archived to help with sheet load times in the responses tab

[storm light]

We must feed the ever hungry site

[hexed fog]

oh god

did I break the sheet

[storm light]

What did you do

[soft flicker]

Swablu/Wailord
A POKENAME is light enough that it can float; it spends most of its time traveling together with others in a pod high up in the clouds. Strong enough winds can toss the Pokémon around and out of the pod's flight path because of how little it weighs.

[soft flicker]

Altaria/Wailord
One of the biggest Pokémon with the ability to float is POKENAME, which feeds itself by filter feeding on smaller flying critters from the air. Floating together with Swablords, the pod is often confused for a real cloud formation from the surface.

[storm light]

Maybe instead try "because of how little it weighs"?

[storm light]

sneak peek for day 10's sprite

[soft flicker]

Oh no, allergies!

[ebon warren]

Ironically, it is possible to be allergic to yourself.
We had a house cat that was allergic to cat hair and cat dander.
She had to get allergy shots every two weeks just to have a normal quality of life

[storm light]

Oh god, I can't imagine being allergic to myself

[wary scarab]

I have a cat who's allergic to me...

Which is sad cause all she wants to do is sit on me

[wanton plume]

#295.295
Excess spiritual energies have caused POKENAME to collapse in on itself. Whispers call from the depths of its swirling maw, and with beckoning hands this Pokémon draws the weak and weary into its thrall.

[rugged socket]

@rich goblet you might be happy to know that Psyduck is now the second most dexxed Pokémon

[rich goblet]

Whoa, how did you figure that out?

[rugged socket]

Got an excel sheet that I copy over the Sheet onto

[rich goblet]

That's pretty darn cool

Which one is number one?

[azure wagon]

Janu-Airy Day 6: Flying Type 🪽

Tropius #556.556
The fruit of wild POKENAME are fifty times sweeter than domesticated ones. Because of this, dishes prepared with this ambrosial fruit fetch an exorbitant price and are only consumed by the elite.

[rugged socket]

Wooper

[chilly bloom]

fusiondex now lists 854 additional approved entries

[soft flicker]

Pikatchu/Spiritomb
This Pokémon likes to possess old gaming devices and drain them of their power. POKENAME feeds itself on this electricity and uses any leftovers for devastating Electric-type attacks, most often used against the virtual-Pokémon Porygon.

Fun fact: in a dex entry its mentioned that Porygon control the cyberspace for "bad data", and I'll bet that it also looks for viruses/electric possessions

[narrow cosmos]

Man, if only I hadn't caught the sick, I'd have had more to add for the new update.

Oh, and I'm gonna lose my #2 spot because Quackquack is a madlad gunning for top spot too.

[rich goblet]

I just make sure that I do a wee bit every day, I figure if I do that I'll get there eventually

[narrow cosmos]

All hail the duck that shall be number one in 2026!

[regal cedar]

https://www.fusiondex.org/crobat+umbreon/

The power of affection, love, and loyalty has allowed POKENAME to reach this form. It stalks through the night to hunt and gather without making a single sound, and brings whatever it has found to its den to share with whomever it is closest to.

[soft flicker]

Mimikyu / Entei
POKENAME built themselves a disguise out of old traditional theater costumes. Sometimes a POKENAME will join the New Year's celebration as one of the legendary-Pokémon dancers, just to see the happy faces of everyone watching the event.

"legendary-Pokémon dancers" are just irl dragon dancers but inklusive to all legendaries

[rich goblet]

I like the concept!

Year's not Years

[regal cedar]

Yup.

[rugged socket]

POKENAME not POKENAMEs but yes very cool

[soft flicker]

But names because the sentence has themselves?

[rich goblet]

Singular or plural it is POKENAME

[soft flicker]

Huh, I had some Feedback before where the person said Pokenames

[rich goblet]

I'm going to want to see a link to that

If it didn't come from an unown I would find it dubious

[soft flicker]

Dunno where but I can look

[rich goblet]

Actually @regal cedar can answer this maybe

Is it ever recommended to use POKENAMEs with the s, or just POKENAME

[regal cedar]

POKENAME is both.

Let me find an example.

The plural of any Pokémon never ends in "s". It is always the exact same for both singular and plural.

For instance:

The woods were filled with Pikachu.
That Stantler's coat is glowing!
I like your Swellow.
Look at those Jigglypuff! Look at that Igglybuff!

So, regardless of if you want the sentence to refer to a singular or plural Pokémon of a species, you just use POKENAME.

This doesn't mean you can never put something after POKENAME. For instance, if I wanted to talk about Nidorino's horn, I could say POKENAME's horn.

[rich goblet]

Ooooh I get it now, thank yous

[regal cedar]

Yeah. It's like deer.

[soft flicker]

(Maybe pin that? That's a really great explaination)

So I've looked back as far as October and I've not seen anyone correct me to the wrong spelling.
But I've seen some of my (not yet submitted) entries where noone has pointed out the same POKENAMEs error

[rich goblet]

It'll be fiiiiine, if the Unown needs to fix it, the issue is a drop in the bucket

[storm light]

I've lost my placement, I'm coming back for it

The Chibi pile is approaching

[short jasper]

NINETEENTH PLACE YEAH

[storm light]

Now back to our regularly schedule Janu-airy

Janu-airy Day 6 - Flying Type

Typhmega #157.270
By rapidly buzzing its flaming wings, POKENAME creates sonic waves alongside a heat haze to disorient its opponent. Its bite force is strong enough to crush thick tree branches.

[short jasper]

If you get back to 19th place it’ll be because I got to 18th place >:)

[storm light]

I will fight you /lh

[short jasper]

TRY ME /lh

[storm light]

Okay maybe no chibi pile because I am not that inspired today lmao

[rich goblet]

Yeah I felt this in my soul, it’s hard enough cranking out ten entries a day

[storm light]

to be fair i do barely that

most days its only the one dex from the months thing

Doesn't help I'm burnt out on playing PIF in general

[midnight siren]

i'm very bad at actually submitting dex entries lol

i've not made that many entries since becoming an unown lol

[pale venture]

Oh, is this a tracker for how many entries you've made?

I wanted to get into it and have a few accepted already now

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/authors/

@pale venture

[storm light]

Dang, duck's faster 😔

[pale venture]

Thanks Duck

[storm light]

Yeah

[pale venture]

SEVEN THOUSAND??

All 6 got accepted I'm honoured

[storm light]

Izik writes like a whole novel of entries in a single week

Don't let the higher numbers dissuade you from writing though, every entry contributes to the overall project

[pale venture]

Oh it's not dissuading me, actually it's motivating me. Not to beat him at it because that's insane, but to just have fun with it instead of worrying about the leaderboard

[pale venture]

Mimireon #373.197
POKENAME like to entertain other Pokémon by pantomiming the rag they hide inside. If anyone tries to look inside of their disguise, they will release a poisonous spray in retaliation.
Edit 1: Changed "it" to "They" to match the pronoun-tense (i think it's called, I'm new to this writing stuff)
Edit 2: Changed "likes" to "like" to keep it being plural, and "POKENAME's disguise" to "their" to make the sentence flow better (ty Dragon Hunter)

Gonna submit my next few dex submissions for review still, until I can do this without any errors

[storm light]

I like the inclusion of the poisonous spray from the Umbreon's poisonous sweat lol Maybe in a future game Umbreon might get a secondary Poison typing from some gimmick

Its such a minor thing about the species I keep forgetting it has that

[pale venture]

Thank you, I really wanted to incorporate it too especially since I assume toxic with disguise ability will be how people use this guy

I kinda wanted to write it as a thanks for the artist, nice fella

[midnight siren]

coupla quick things:

1. if you want the dex entry to be plural (using they etc.) then it should be POKENAME like instead of POKENAME likes. it can feel a bit weird cause the plural pronoun wants the singular "like". i find the best way to check it for me is to replace POKENAME with it or they respectively and seeing how it flows. in this case it likes is the singular version while they like is the plural.

2. similarly to the point above, it may be worth replacing POKENAME's with their, again to match plurality and to help the sentence flow.

[pale venture]

Thank you Dragon Hunter

I always mess up on the it likes/they like thing, I need to get better at catching that

[midnight siren]

it's what i'm here for

[pale venture]

I think I keep tripping up because Mimireon is the species, but I keep seeing it as a singular thing and I get all jumbled trying to make sense of it

[midnight siren]

yeah, it's a tough thing to get used to lol

[marble vapor]

Do you mind sending me the link to where it is again, I cant seem to find it

[midnight siren]

just keep up the practice, and feel free to ping me if you ever want anyone to have a look over your entries

[pale venture]

Thank you, in all honesty I've always been bad with words, so I'm using this as practise and also to give back to a game I've loved for years

[pale venture]

Do you think it'd be good to submit now?

[midnight siren]

I’ll just have another quick look over, see if I see anything :)

[regal cedar]

~~psst look at mine too dragon ~~

[midnight siren]

I don’t see any issues with it

[midnight siren]

[pale venture]

LET'S GOOOO

Now to accidently capitalise my name again

7th time's a charm

[midnight siren]

aight coupla things

1. “through” -> “throughout”. not actually an error, it just is one of those things were imo it would flow better, completely up to you tho.

2. that second sentence feels a bit long and stuttery imo, nothing technically wrong but I think it could be changed to improve the flow. I have two possible solutions for ya. solution 1: split the sentences at the comma, replacing “and” with “It then”. solution 2: change “whomever it is closest to” to “its closest friend/ally”. this keeps the sentence functionally the same, but removing the slightly clunky wording that whomever tends to add in.

Again, technically speaking this entry works and is ready for submission. These are just a couple of things that I would suggest changing for flow sake, but it’s up to you

[pale venture]

Granizard #210.6
Despite POKENAME having large fangs, they will often be too timid to approach their attacker unless they are threatened. Once enraged, the flame on their tail erupts violently into a vibrant pink as a show of inner strength.
Edit 1: Changed "it is" to "they are" (Thank you Dragon Hunter)

I wanted to do one more to practice the tense stuff before I go eep @midnight siren (sorry for all the pings tonight!)

[midnight siren]

dw about pinging me, it’s what I’m here for

[pale venture]

[midnight siren]

ok so you have “it is” which should be “they are”. again, it’s keeping the plurality throughout the entry. Other than that, it looks good to me

[pale venture]

Heck

I double checked too

Thank you!

[midnight siren]

npnp

[midnight siren]

I have very confidently triple checked things before, sent them off and found errors, it happens to all of us

I remember recently finishing what I thought was the final version of a script I was editing and finding out that a character’s name in like 3 stage directions was Mike instead of Mole

[pale venture]

Lol

[narrow cosmos]

Ah, dangit, I forgot the "a" at the end of a submission's sprite number again.

[regal cedar]

which one

[narrow cosmos]

28.295.png. I just put it in the dex error submission.

[warped steppe]

Hey I wanna attach some custom dex entries to my own sprites, can I do that?

Eelekalge #570.572
POKENAME scour the beaches under the cover of darkness looking for prey. They deliver a concussive shock, then jab their prey with poison-secreting claws.

[hollow nimbus]

Spriter's entry always has priority when the game chooses which entry to display
Make sure you're only submitting entries for sprites that are already released in the sprite packs

[warped steppe]

Ohh. Ok, so my mons aren’t out yet

They’ll be out by the end of the month, correct?

[hollow nimbus]

You can still write for them
You'll just have to hold on to the entries until they go out

[hollow nimbus]

I don't know when you posted your sprites

[warped steppe]

Today

[hollow nimbus]

Sprite processing takes two months

[warped steppe]

I just got spriter role

[warped steppe]

Oh

So I gotta wait till February?

[hollow nimbus]

Writing as you sprite is a good idea so you don't have to do it all at once

[hollow nimbus]

Til March

[warped steppe]

Well, it’s probably still a good idea to write dex entries for them

Then I can post them later

[hollow nimbus]

Post them for feedback in here any time, submit them for approval once the sprites are released

[narrow cosmos]

Cool sprite, too!

[storm light]

If Izik gets to 10k entries, is he gonna get a head researcher role

[narrow cosmos]

I must defeat him before that happens.

[warped steppe]

Pipflame #322.372
POKENAME are tenacious flyers that can withstand icy blizzards. They use their soft, downy wings to protect freezing Pokémon.

[narrow cosmos]

[warped steppe]

should i do the e accent every time i mention “pokemon”

like é

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, it's necessary, though if it doesn't get in an entry the Unown will usually fix it.

[warped steppe]

Skartop #227.237
By spinning its bladed body at an immense speed, it can shred apart enemies. If it spins fast enough, it may even take off like a helicopter.

uhh i deleted one of the weird ‘ by accident how do i get it back

dex gang help me please

Ok i figured it out

Scoliphox #424.484
By channeling the magic of radioactivity, POKENAME reduces organic life to toxic sludge. It can use its sludge ‘dress’ as a weapon, shield or shelter.

Throwing together an entry for a later day, would this be too specific or would it wor? Trying to think of how else I could phrase it

Janu-airy Day 7 - "Fog"

Torow #488.21
POKENAME live on foggy mountain peaks where the mist helps keep their body temperature down. They are easily excitable and, if well fed, can cause an area to heat up rapidly to uncomfortable levels.

[soft flicker]

Regiice / Scolipede
Hidden under this Pokémon's opaque ice exoskeleton lies one of the deadliest known poisons. POKENAME is no active threat to humans unless removed from its freezing habitat and moved to a warmer place, where it begins to melt and become active.

[crisp forge]

hi dex-entries-discussion, had a random dex entry idea on the commute, reckoned* it might strike a thought? -- a pokemon commonly involved in some sort of emergency drill or emergency response protocol

[soft flicker]

I can imagine some Pallosand fusion for damaged house scenarios
Just need a Pallosand big enough

Janu-Airy Day 7: Frog? Fog 🌫️

Frogrow #486.22
POKENAME's keen eyesight allows it to effortlessly navigate its swamp habitat, even on days filled with dense fog. When hunting, it plunges its long neck into the water to grab prey.

[hexed fog]

Gimme a pokemon that eats fog

[hexed fog]

@narrow cosmos sustain me

"similar in placement TO THOSE in the observable universe"

You can also specify that its wings shine with projections of the stars and galaxies, not the actual thing

[winged birch]

Pokédex Entry #99030 – Aggreon Aggron/Umbreon
The Moonlight Armor Pokémon

POKENAME is fiercely loyal, shielding its Trainer with steel plate armor. Under moonlight, its fur becomes impossibly dense as it absorbs lunar energy. Its glowing rings intensify, while smoke from its ears and tail vents excess power.

[regal cedar]

Maybe add "fascimiles of" or "images of" stars and galaxies?

[winged birch]

Pokédex Entry #177727 – Mimipunny Mimikuy/lopunny
The Rabbit Disguise Pokémon

Born from gathered spiritual energy of the dead, POKENAME dwells near graveyards. Though its movements are uncanny and fast, it is gentle, feeding on grief and pain. Those it feeds from feel their sorrow ease, helping them heal.

@regal cedar am new to this buuuuuttt what do you think of theses two i want to make sure am doing this right

[regal cedar]

Please read the pins and FAQ carefully. Entries should be between 100-250 characters, not words.

[winged birch]

@regal cedar how about now i condensed it

I know a few months back I wrote an entry for every species!

Unfused, that is.

That involved one.

My 10 a day has gotten harder and harder but I still manage

[pale venture]

That's awesome

Here's my new entry for review

[rugged socket]

10 a day is crazy, I probs average about 2/3 but there'll be days with 10 and lots of days with 0

[rich goblet]

Consistency is key, I once pulled 50 entries once upon a time but its easier if I do 10

[narrow cosmos]

I go spurts of nothing between decent-sized binges. Like right now I've busted out 70+ since yesterday

[pale venture]

@midnight siren I pinged the wrong person (Sorry DragonHacker), here's a new dex entry for review

[midnight siren]

aight, couple things:

1. disguises and hangs should be disguise and hang respectively. it's a bit of a strange one, but plural pronouns have singular verbs, whereas singular third person pronouns have plural verbs e.g. they do (plural) and it does (singular). essentially this is because when you change to a plural pronoun, you are describing that each induvial performs the actions in the verb. most of the time, if you use the same version of the verb when it's in the first person (i do -> they do, i love-> they love). hope that helps make more sense of that

2. oppositely from that above point, both vegetable and tree should be plural, and the a before each noun should be removed. this is because when a group are performing actions on nouns, the noun is plural. for example, why the trees needs to be plural. when a single creature climbs a tree, it is singular because that creature is climbing that tree. you can pinpoint the exact instance of the noun that is being acted upon. however, when we have a plural pronoun, our nouns also need to be plural. we have a group of creatures climbing multiple trees.

i hope both of the above points make sense, lmk if they don't and i can reword them to help with understanding . english is tricky, and these things will get better with practice

[pale venture]

One day I'll get plural verbs correct, thank you!

I'll correct it when I got time

[midnight siren]

i believe in you, you can do it

[pale venture]

Is the rest ok? I just edited now actually

[midnight siren]

just remember that sometimes english is held together by sticky tape and a dream, so don't stress too much about messing up with it! i mess it up all the time, and it's the only language i speak

[pale venture]

Yeah it's the only language I speak too and I've never been good at it

[midnight siren]

but you'll get better over time

[pale venture]

With your help, definitely

But ye is it good to go? I can stay up a lil bit before eeping

[midnight siren]

the only question i would have is if foe is the right word in this context

as every other instance of describing the other pokemon is as prey

[pale venture]

Ooh, I was trying to use a different word to avoid repeating, but fos doesn't really work out here

[midnight siren]

a change you could make is to have the second sentence read like this: Once their prey is close enough, they expel a poisonous powder that immobilizes their prey and then devour it whole.

or alternately you could just replace the foe with it

good 'ol pronouns doing their job

[pale venture]

I'll be honest, I've been avoiding it like the plague to practise pronoun-tense, so much I didn't even consider it

[midnight siren]

it do be like that sometimes

[pale venture]

Oh wait, what if I said "the target"?

[midnight siren]

that works!!!

acc i just noticed something else, currently the way the second sentence is worded, its the poisonous powder that devours the prey .

as i assume this was not intended to be the case, the fix would be to change and devours to be and then devour.

[pale venture]

Oh frick you're so right

I think the original idea was "expels an acid that melts the foe whole" or something but I changed it to more suitable, since acid melting thing is an older graphic dex thing

[midnight siren]

the reason being that currently the and is ascribing both the immobilisation and devouring ability to the poison powder, as a form of a list. however, if we add in then, and becomes a conjunction combining two sentences/sentence fragments together

[pale venture]

"and then devour" feels correct, but a little incorrect but hats probably because I'm not used to it

[midnight siren]

if you add they in front of devour, it should feel more correct which may help :p

[pale venture]

Yee I'll do that, though I'm sure your way was correct too

[midnight siren]

its not a necessary change, but if it helps you to get used to how the sentence structure works it's probably a worthwhile add!

[pale venture]

Also at this point you're basically co-writing this yourself, maybe you should take the credit

Jkjk

[midnight siren]

eh, to a certain extent it doesn't matter if my way was right or not. i'm here to help ya learn how this stuff works, so as long as what you have at the end is grammatically correct and you understand why i'm more than happy with that

[midnight siren]

na, this is just some simple proofreading and editing help, you still wrote the entry

~~also, i'm an unown, helping entries be correct and flow well is like my whole job ~~

[pale venture]

DW I was just kidding, I appreciate all the help though

[midnight siren]

npnp

i'm used to helping out with writing stuff, i'm a volunteer TA a couple days a week at my mum's school atm

[pale venture]

Btw I found one more problem

Also that's awesome

[pale venture]

But yeah it's at 256 characters

Frick

[midnight siren]

oof

lemme see what we can alter rq

[pale venture]

I can get rid of they and one other word maybe

[midnight siren]

where it go

[pale venture]

What the heck

Did I delete it by accident?

"POKENAME disguise themselves as tasty vegetables and hang from trees while they wait for another Pokémon to attempt to eat them. Once their prey is close enough, they expel a poisonous powder that immobilizes the target and then they devour the prey whole."

[midnight siren]

mebbe?

[pale venture]

Good thing I had it copied

POKENAME easily blend in with heavy fog thanks to their cloudy wings. They rely on this dense fog to surprise aquatic Pokémon, skewering prey onto their beak.

[midnight siren]

you could remove enough

[pale venture]

Sounds good, ty

Rip my edit notes though, I was using those as learning material

[midnight siren]

[pale venture]

Ok it's done

Thank you again Dragon, ima try do 1 a night, I'm really enjoying this brain exercise before bed time

Speaking of which, I need to be up early in the morning, so nini

[midnight siren]

g'night!

[midnight siren]

i'm glad! again, feel free to ping me if you need any help :)

[pale venture]

Will do!

Ludisaur (Ludicolo/Venusaur) #497.3.png

POKENAME lumbers about in a steady rhythm, shaking its maracas with flexible vines. It invites small Pokémon to swim in the refreshing pool on its back.

lmk if anyone spots anything i can change :) went for a kind of basic one for my first dex entry

[rich goblet]

of approval

[drifting quartz]

thanks!! 😁

[hexed fog]

I think scooby doo did it

[hollow nimbus]

How did you read my mind
We had the same braincell

Janu-airy Day 8 - White Color

Tailchic #514.279
POKENAME often try to intimidate larger Pokémon into giving up their food by chirping loudly and spitting globs of fire from just out of reach. They quickly pick up on Pokémon that can be easily scared away and which to avoid.

[rich goblet]

I decided to do one

[rugged socket]

Woooooo

[stable lintel]

SNOCARIO It only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune and guarantees a happy life to those it chooses to protect

Do I need to change something in the description?

[rich goblet]

Howdy, have you read everything in #dex-entries-submissions and the pinned messages? A lot of good advice and some basic rules are there 🙂

[stable lintel]

If you tell me that it's because I didn't understand all of them well I think (sorry) 😅

[rich goblet]

If you want to type the name of a fusion, use POKENAME, because the game replaces it and automatically fills it with the correct spelling

[stable lintel]

POKENAME It only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune and guarantees a happy life to those it chooses to protect

like this ?

[rich goblet]

Yeah, like that

[stable lintel]

Cool!

did the description is good or not ?

[rich goblet]

There's quite a few grammar errors, maybe you can use grammarly or google docs to help you fix them

I'm still waking up and coffee hasn't hit so if no one responds to help I'll be available later

[stable lintel]

I'll try (sorry it's not that easy, it's not my native) 😅

[rich goblet]

😅 I'm barely awake

[rich goblet]

You're fiiiiine

@rugged socket I choose you! (To help this friendo out and maybe explain an FAQ if it needs it)

[rugged socket]

It's almost there, I like the concept. Get rid of the It at the start, POKENAME does the same job, also add a full stop at the end

[rugged socket]

Haha I was already on it before I saw this XD

[stable lintel]

Only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune, guaranteeing a happy life to those it chooses to protect.
(better?)

[rugged socket]

Also, make sure you include which Pokémon the fusion is made up of when you post it here, so others can give better advice

POKENAME only bonds...

This would mean that ingame it would read
Snocario only bonds with virtuous souls...

[stable lintel]

Snocario 427.296

Snorunt 427-Lucario 296

POKENAME Only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune, guaranteeing a happy life to those it chooses to protect.

?

[rugged socket]

Almost, you're doing very well. In English only the first word in a sentence is capitalised, POKENAME is the start of the sentence so will be capitalised, the next word Only should therefore not be capitalised.

[stable lintel]

Snocario 427.296

Snorunt 427-Lucario 296

POKENAME only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune, guaranteeing a happy life to those it chooses to protect.

there

[rugged socket]

Perfect! 👌

[stable lintel]

Should I leave it there so that it can be taken into account or was it not here?

[rugged socket]

If you want it to be officially reviewed and added to the game, you need to submit it in the form here: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1019208546916761660
Make sure you use your username rather than display name

[stable lintel]

My discord username?

[rugged socket]

Yesss

So include the underscores

[rich goblet]

_adaryx_

[stable lintel]

Understood, I'll do it after lunch 👌

I can't write to the channel , is that normal?

[rich goblet]

There is a link in that channel

[stable lintel]

Oups 😅

like this ?

[rich goblet]

The first two are correct, the last one is just a copy-paste of entry

Afterwards you wait 1-2 weeks until the Unown team approve of the entry

[stable lintel]

POKENAME only bonds with virtuous souls. Its benevolent aura constantly repels misfortune, guaranteeing a happy life to those it chooses to protect. this one so

With the ' '?

[rich goblet]

without the ''

[stable lintel]

okay

?

Thank you very much I can't wait to see it in games if it goes through

[azure wagon]

Finished up Alakazam and Quagsire, we're almost there

[regal cedar]

Hi chat. I'm trying to find an equivalent to

doe-eyed expression.

Any suggestions?

[hollow nimbus]

baby-doll eyes

[regal cedar]

Oh, nice. Someone said puppy-dog eyes in another chat.

[keen kestrel]

This one has the benefit of also being a Move in pokemon lol

I think referring to real animals in a dex entry (just as language, not like they exist) might be fine though. I feel like the official games do that a bunch

Someone or something in the games referred to “horse pokemon” and i was like WTF IS A HORSE? Lol

I guess Horse just refers to a shape of guy you can be

[rich goblet]

If you want to be particularly poetic, an innocent gaze also works

[dapper cedar]

would this count for sylveon/can change states (solid, liquid, gas)?

#339.132
If someone is distressed, POKENAME will try to comfort them with their ribbon-like feelers, which change texture and form to provide further comfort. Their feelers can become hard and metallic, soft and wet like a liquid, or anything in between.

[hollow nimbus]

We have an FAQ that confirms you can use animals for comparisons

[keen kestrel]

Is… is liquid “soft”

[regal cedar]

https://www.fusiondex.org/hawlucha+monferno/ Try for an entry regarding this?

[regal cedar]

Depends on what definition you're using, but it can be considered one, especially depending on the liquid.

[keen kestrel]

Some liquids are softer than others?? Whats a hard liquid??

booze lmao

[hollow nimbus]

Ironically, the more viscous it is, the more likely someone is to call it soft

Soft pudding, soft batter
But few people say soft vinegar or soft seawater

Soft describes a texture, so the substance has to be at least solid enough for you to press your fingers on it and have it not feel like thick air

[rugged socket]

Looks good to me, you could say like soft as a cloud or something

[rich goblet]

POKENAME love to wrestle with other Pokémon, especially when there is an audience. They harness the power of their flames to make their attacks look flashy, but hold back to avoid hurting their opponent.

Nailed it

[south berry]

Do you guys wanna fill in the last three spots? I don't wanna hog any more spots than I already have but also have time tonight that I could crank out the rest.

[rich goblet]

I have a slot I’m good lol

[storm light]

Maybe we could make entries for some Pokemon that help make movies? 👀

[oak wyvern]

looks like I got the last unclaimed slot

for Dexslog I mean

[pale venture]

Forgot to make an entry last night I need to make 2 today to make up for it (jkjk)

Wait, why is this a note??

It's on EVERY one of my submissions

[crisp forge]

i get that too, it'll probably happen quite a bit for a while

[pale venture]

Hopefully someone doesn't hate my username or something

[summer saffron]

izik be trolling

[pale venture]

Oooh I see

[hexed fog]

I did not write this

[pale venture]

It was their alter evil ego, Kizi

[azure wagon]

Janu-airy Day 8: White Color 🤍

Litmory #365.227
Hot wax constantly drips from POKENAME's body. It violently shakes its body during battle to singe and slow down opponents with this wax.

[hexed fog]

We asked the person doing it to stop. Their heart was in the right place but I can see how it could be confusing

[azure wagon]

Janu-airy Day 9: "Rainbow" 🌈

Sablnite #421.149
POKENAME hoards a rainbow of jewels deep in its mountainous lair, hardly ever leaving to ensure no one tries to steal from it. It's known to have a particular taste for Carbink fusions.

[silver crater]

when i want to add an apostrophe to POKENAME, I can just do POKENAME's right?

[rich goblet]

Correct

[silver crater]

okay cool

that was the intuitive thing

good thing i was right because ive made like 4 and most of them use that

[rich goblet]

Also do not capitalize any part of your username

In fact, do not use your display/nickname, only username

[silver crater]

alright

[rich goblet]

I saw your entries on the sheet so I figure I mention it

You might get an additional ping from an unown soon, it just throws a wrench in the system when you do that

[silver crater]

alright, will they be alright or is there something i should do?

i wasnt aware, probably a good thing to say on the form

unless i missed it

[rich goblet]

The first question is "What is your discord username"

Verbatim

[silver crater]

ah right, i forget the username techically has no capitals

[rich goblet]

It'll get fixed but its easier to nip it in the bud early

[silver crater]

apologies

[rich goblet]

Nah it's cool, an unown might ping you later but no harm no foul

[silver crater]

cool :]

[hollow nimbus]

The capital letter check is the easiest way for us to tell someone didn't put their exact username

If your username is like epiccookies, but you go by and type Cookies, there's nine people that could be
Also, the system treats Cookies and cookies as two separate people, so it's important that we don't have capital letters separating peoples' entries

[silver crater]

ah alright, my user is the exact same as my display besides for the capitals

but yeah ill fix that for any submissions i make from now on

[hollow quartz]

Regiwile #447.300
This massive cluster of living rock uses its smaller body as a decoy for foes and prey alike to lure them within its cavernous maw. Once they are too far within to escape, it's cave-like jaws will seal shut and all within will eventually be digested.

Been on a bit of a spree with ideas, and only recently realized I had kept entering my display name rather than my username (I am so sorry for that, btw) and came across this awesome sprite and it felt like I had an epiphany.
