dex-entries-discussion

[hollow quartz]

The only references I immediately spot are MonHun, I have never gotten to truly experienced DnD and I am unfamiliar with much of JoCat's stuff

[storm light]

POKENAME creates vivid sculptures of fantastical landscapes and creatures by filing down ice using its incredible strength. These landscapes have inspired multiple tabletop games enjoyed by children and adults alike.

It doesn't give a lot of Machoke to it, but I mean maybe

[hollow quartz]

Illusions might be too close to Zoroark/Zorua?

[storm light]

Oooh true

ooh wait, maybe sculptures that it files down into maps and creatures using its incredible strength

[hollow quartz]

That could work

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is a combat expert, proficient in wielding all types of weaponry and teaching any who wish to learn the best way to wield their weapons. It has a personal preference towards using a sword and shield.

Love JoCat's old D&D videos.

[storm light]

I do like that a lot, but it would probably have to be more species inclusive

[rich goblet]

We need more Pokemon that work in the office, especially doing basic tasks like greeting and filing.

@narrow cosmos @hollow quartz especially you two nerds get to it

[narrow cosmos]

I don't function well under pressure!

[rich goblet]

Oh shoot, take your time then

[narrow cosmos]

This is me whenever people put the pressure on me

[hollow quartz]

[narrow cosmos]

Neuro-sama, another Vtuber emote detected

[hollow quartz]

In some similar tangent, there are prolly Porygon-line fusions that might fit in this, but I'll leave future me to discover that

[narrow cosmos]

Or decently humanoid/intelligent Pokemon. I might take a look and see if there's a Kadabra/Alakazam fusion that looks like it fits the bill.

[rich goblet]

I was thinking totodile fusion shredding paper and a Chansey fusion greeting people

See this is why I ping you, yall have good ideas

[hollow quartz]

for me it entirely depends on how the sprites look for how I may be able to think of ways they might get exploited utilized in human society, tbh

[storm light]

I imagine a Totodile fusion, mouth agape and looking pleadingly at any passersby holding papers. If you place a paper in its mouth, it waits until your hand is clear and just goes to town shredding that paper like a dog does to a chew toy

https://giphy.com/gifs/dog-playing-chew-toy-wYT7MRu3U3zYF228tm

[hollow quartz]

"Sorry boss, but our Totodile/[x] ate my office work"

[storm light]

"Oh yeah, Shredder does that, just try to get it to me asasp."

[narrow cosmos]

My problem is my mind always goes towards trying to depict wild behavior for the most part, so domestic/business/etc. aspects like that tend to escape my brain. I've got like, three entries I can think of that portend to something different, like the species' depiction in media.

And one of them is just Leomon from Digimon.

[hollow quartz]

How the heck are your messages when you reply to me not highlighted like they are for others when they reply to me

[rich goblet]

Yeah we have to remember that Pokemon live among us too

[hollow quartz]

But yeah that too, I tend to focus more on the wild aspect of them

[narrow cosmos]

I purposely turn the ping off cause I'm too used to people being upset about pings.

[hollow quartz]

Ahhhhh

[hollow quartz]

True, there's a balance to be struck with both perspectives

[rich goblet]

Y'all got your prompt, now work on it

[narrow cosmos]

What's in it for us?

[hollow quartz]

If my brain could work that easily, I'd have an easier life

[rich goblet]

+1 entry towards beating izik

[narrow cosmos]

While in cyberspace, POKENAME's spoon lets it move files around instantaneously. Due to its intellect and meticulous nature, many businesses use it to sort and arrange files in order to reduce clutter and confusion.

There.

[rich goblet]

It's beautiful

[narrow cosmos]

Just don't use him at home, he'll see your files marked "private" and will judge you.

[rich goblet]

POKENAME operate in cyberspace to shred old files from employees who leave a company. Businesses have to be careful when relying on POKENAME because they will also clear operating system files if the settings are on.

[hexed fog]

1600+ entries

Le gulp

I'm proud of yall

[rich goblet]

Thanks uncle Izik, I never heard that before

[storm light]

Dang, my first unapproved entry

i thought that a tesla coil was an actual object, it'd be fine to mention

[rich goblet]

Damn, how many entries did you do up to that point

[storm light]

over 400

[hollow quartz]

I'm actually curious now how to refer to a Tesla coil in as succinct a way without using Tesla's name......at first I thought plasma coil maybe, but that's not an actual/active term outside of borderlands apparently

[rich goblet]

electrical resonant transformer device

Doesn't have the same ring but its what wikipedia says

[hollow quartz]

this is why i said "as succinct a way"

[rich goblet]

Oh

I can read clearly (I didn't read)

[narrow cosmos]

You let Infinex in here, which stoked an eternal rivalry that leaves you with the consequences.

[hollow quartz]

But yeah now I'm partly mentally distracted by thinking of how to describe a Tesla coil in a condense way without using his name. Electric coil, lightning coil, like I said before plasma coil...hum...

[rich goblet]

electrical transformer is the most succinct and accurate way iirc

[hollow quartz]

yeah, it's just tragically not as...good at conjuring the mental image, I think, for the average person since "Tesla coil" is the term most known

One of the consequences of objects that are named after people

[rich goblet]

yeah, a wee bit unfortunate

At least I know that Bandaid is bad and bandage is good

Did you know that Bandaids are a brand name?

[hollow quartz]

I am glad my brain randomly decided one day to start saying bandage instead of Bandaid, it has ironically paid off in dividends with writing in general

Also, I gotta say

I've started making a habit of referencing all pokedex entries for more ideas when I write and

I get so oddly annoyed by seeing them refer to a bite as injecting poison instead of venom-

[hexed fog]

@gritty kindle dont put quotes around your entries when submitting pls

1400 left jfc...

[rich goblet]

Took me ages to learn the lesson 😩

[hollow quartz]

I still often look up the differences between (poison, venom, and toxin)/(poisonous, venomous, toxic) to reconfirm what I've long since imprinted in my mind

I feel I am finally reaching the point where I can easily at least distinguish between venom and poison when I write about them though

[narrow cosmos]

I remember a lot of my entries got corrected, and I swear the canon Pokedexes have probably contributed to that, I'm almost certain they say the same thing. Now I think I generally do better.

But apologies to Infinex if it's one of my entries that caused the mental harm.

[hollow quartz]

Just like when I first referenced another Pokémon in an entry and capitalized every letter since I vaguely recalled that official pokedex entries would do that

[hollow quartz]

oh, no, not yours--I meant official ones, like for venipede for example

where they say its bite injects poison

[thorn ingot]

Only in the older game ones

Newer game ones don’t do that

[narrow cosmos]

Sad thing is Izik works alphabetically, he's gonna get everyone else's but mine because of my name being so late in the 26 letters

[thorn ingot]

Mine’s later than yours how do you think I feel

[hollow quartz]

No I know, that's why it happened is the correlation between Infinite Fusion being based on Firered and Leafgreen stuff, which is older gen

And outside of Infinite Fusion, I've not touched a Pokémon game in a long while

[narrow cosmos]

Same, I haven't even touched IF in a long-while, too focused on making Dex entries instead.

[hollow quartz]

...Same.

-# outside of my daily gacha gaming I haven't touch a game in a hot minute in general, really

[hexed fog]

Why dont you guys tell me some things these cubone fusions do in the winter months?

Does the skull quiver?

Does it rub something on its skull?

Does it use its bone to dig a den?

[narrow cosmos]

I never got too into mobile gaming myself, but being a nerd that I am, I've been playing Gundam G Generation Eternal daily since the game released.

[hollow quartz]

Only one of those gachas is on my phone and even then I mostly play it on pc anyhow--now, phone sudoku, however, is a different story

[hollow quartz]

I never think of winter months in correlation to them, tbh--or any seasons really. Seasons come to mind to me more with bug types, grass types, and flying types I think

[narrow cosmos]

You could probably do that with Water types too, seasonal water migration or some such. 🤔

[hollow quartz]

True, I knew I forgot at least one other type

[thorn ingot]

I typically don’t put dex entries within seasonal times unless it’s like a delibird for winter or something else very specific

[hollow quartz]

There's that too, some feel like they contextually fit certain seasons more. But that might be my mind being too stuck "inside the box" as well

[storm light]

I want to resubmit this, so is there any way i could better describe electricity discharging from its tail in wild directions? p sure this is close to the character limit

without mentioning a tesla coil of course

[hollow quartz]

ducky came upon this as another term that exists for tesla coil

other than that...I couldn't find any other terms that describe one while being just as short, unfortunately

[hexed fog]

I wanna hear how their skull acts in the rain

[hollow quartz]

my next thought would be in reference to a plasma ball since they also are known for their arcing electricity, albeit confined within a crystalline ball

[hexed fog]

I wanna hear how they use their bone to smash holes in ice

I wanna hear how they polish their skulls with leaves

once the cubone heads are done we will be closer to the next update 😉 just tell me when they are

[hexed fog]

on the brightside, the dex update happens when everyone is approved

[narrow cosmos]

Ironic that the skull-boy is causing more difficulty for my writing than the PokeGod.

[hollow quartz]

It really is ironic--some cubone/marowak sprites just evoke the imagery of "sapient Pokémon" or "clever hunter and/or tool user" any my brain latches onto it

On the flipside, Izik's commentary gave me ideas for at least two cubone sprites i had seen so often and never knew what to write for prior

[storm light]

I still get tripped up when talking about a poisonous compoud that gets injected through a spike or claw instead of teeth, though i'm pretty sure it's still called venom, ye?

Though at the same time this works quite well.

You bite it, you die = poisonous
It bites you, you die = venomous

[hexed fog]

Do they use the bone to balance? Do they marinate food with the bone? Do they mash fruit to paste with it before eating?

[storm light]

Alright, how's this instead?POKENAME are highly temperamental Pokémon, becoming aggressive at the slightest provocation. As they channel Electric-type attacks, their bodies shine bright turquoise. They discharge wild Thunderbolts from their tails.

[hexed fog]

Do they cuddle the bone while sleeping?

[hollow quartz]

Ye, that's venom

[rich goblet]

@hexed fog If you tell me why cubone has been on the mind I'll write a cool one

[hexed fog]

It is our current Problem Pokemon

[rich goblet]

It must really be a problem if you're giving prompts, I'll write a few right quick

[hexed fog]

We are just trying to get each done as they give us the biggest headaches. Thats why the tab is there lol

[rich goblet]

Oh right, we have a tab now

[hexed fog]

[plush flicker]

Guys what you think about this dex entry ? Catacryph, the Omen Pokémon. Ancient warning tablets describe it as “the last symbol seen before cities go silent.” Wherever its runes appear in the sky, machines fail, storms twist, and even wild Pokémon flee without a sound.

[rich goblet]

Wrote like ten today, probably going to dive into them some more tomorrow

[pale venture]

That's not a Pokémon

[rich goblet]

You are so annoying. Your AI sprites in #other-pokemon-games and your lack of basic grammar make me sick.

Please kindly, stop shoveling your slop into this server.

Can't even use the tool you love to form coherent sentences, sybau and gtfo

[plush flicker]

I will only make suggestions from now on

[rich goblet]

AI bros get on my nerves very, very much. Probably a little too spicy.

Regardless, I'll be resting now. Night everyone.

[hollow nimbus]

We don't like AI either, but this is too rude, Ducky. Kindly tone it down

[hollow nimbus]

A sample of the kind of problems Cubone brings:

It's a lovely day in the sheet, so let's see what we have to read ♪
"POKENAME's mother was killed by Mewtwo, so it's been training to be an assassin ever since. After Zapdos started training it in using a katana, POKENAME has gotten closer to its goal of killing Mewtwo."
It's a... lovely day...

[hexed fog]

You forgot to add "for now..." at the end

[rich goblet]

Alright, noted for the future

[azure wagon]

Dex-ruary Day 2: Ground Type (Happy Groundhog day!)

Marogon #105.334
POKENAME soars across vast deserts and arid plains. It has a dependable nature and is often seen protecting weaker Cubone fusions from threatening foes.

febs been so busy irl...i gotta lock in when i can 📝

[azure wagon]

Dex-ruary Day 3: Decorate 🎨

Sablgle #421.235
POKENAME decorates its territory with a shimmering fluid produced from its tail. POKENAME decorates its territory with a shimmering fluid produced from its tail. People follow these markings believing safety is close by, only to get more lost.

im wondering if theres a better way to combine the last sentence with the previous one?

[rich goblet]

Psst, I think Day 2 is ground

[rich goblet]

People follow these markings believing safety is close by, only to get more lost.

Sorryy made a mistake, fixed it

@azure wagon

[hexed fog]

Day 2 is ground

So

Cubone entrieeeees

Gimme

Pick one

Pick em allll

[azure wagon]

izik reversing the clock back 48hrs

[rich goblet]

I did like 10 this morning, might do more later

[azure wagon]

but yea i'll hit some out once i finish todays entry

[hexed fog]

The more lonely it is the more power it getssss

Cmaaaan

[narrow cosmos]

Izik cracking the whip 'cause he wants to upload the next problem pokemon to torture us with

POKENAME has an innate sense for finding bones buried under the ground. Some police forces have used it to locate missing remains, but discipline is needed to keep POKENAME from stealing its findings for itself.

A touch macabre, this one might dance the line, methinks.

[soft flicker]

Hypno/ Torterra
For Sprite 1:
POKENAME spend most of their lives sleeping, only rarely being seen moving to follow the sunlight. What look like melting watches on their backs are in reality adapted leaves that can absorb a large amount of light that acts as food for the Pokémon.
For the alt:
POKENAME spend most of their lives sleeping, only rarely being seen moving. What look like melting watches on their backs are in reality adapted leaves that can absorb a large amount of sunlight. Their strange leaves have inspired famous paintings.

There's also this fun alt, but I can't think of an entry

[narrow cosmos]

Nice possible reference to that FNF mod

[oak wyvern]

I think it is

[azure wagon]

Dex-ruary Day 4: "Love" 💞

Trolax #556.260
POKENAME loves sweet bananas and will travel long distances to find plantations. Farmers sometimes leave fruit out to keep it from damaging their crops.

[hollow nimbus]

For those who got it wrong, the correct answer is Generation 7!

[limber parrot]

hey @hollow nimbus , some of my entries were denied for dex tone, and im wondering what about them arent in dex tone? i can paste them here if wanted

[hollow nimbus]

You can start with one example, and maybe from that one you'll figure out a few others

[limber parrot]

"POKENAME are naturally mischievous creatures, causing terror wherever they fly. If one touches you with its nose, it is said that it gives you 108 years of bad luck."

[hollow nimbus]

Can I have the filename for the associated sprite, too?

[limber parrot]

295.566

[hollow nimbus]

This is the sprite, right?

[limber parrot]

yep!

[hollow nimbus]

For that one, I've contacted the Unown that processed the entry to get their reasoning before answering
I do see one I can explain now, though

⁨POKENAME shoots Charge Beams out of its cannons, immobilizing enemies it encounters. If you give it a Cell Battery, its accuracy increases tenfold.⁩

This entry is claiming that you can increase your Pokémon's accuracy using an item found in the game

Players would be very excited about a 10x accuracy increase especially, as it makes moves like Fissure much more viable

However, the Cell Battery item does not confer a 10x bonus to a move's Accuracy when the Pokémon holds the item

In short, you're giving the player untrue information about the game
The Unown denying it likely wrote 'dex tone' as shorthand for all that

[limber parrot]

ah, alright. thank you for explaining that one 🫡

[hollow nimbus]

⁨Every creature in POKENAME's vicinity is bound to fall asleep within minutes. It will slowly drain your life force while you dream of your greatest wishes and desires.⁩
This entry means it's impossible to use your Pokémon for more than a few minutes as a time, while the player will soon discover that there is no such limit on them

⁨⁨POKENAME are swamp-dwelling creatures, hiding among the trees. If you spot it, it will launch poisonous chemicals at you. Its laugh is comparable to a witch's.⁩⁩
This suggests that there are real witches in the PIF world, that said witches all laugh the same way, and that most people know what that sound is

So, what we've put together is
Be careful about mentioning increases to a Pokémon's fighting ability in concrete terms, especially if the trigger is something the player can do
Try not to set up conditions that would guarantee the player will do something when the game does not actually make that happen (Like saying everyone around the Pokémon falls asleep)
Be conscious about what kind of supernatural beings you mention

[limber parrot]

thank you! will keep information in mind when writing

[sweet bay]

Days 2-4 of February Prompts.

[hollow nimbus]

This specific entry is the one entry that was marked that way by mistake

It's been fixed, but do keep the information you learned from the other ones in mind

[azure wagon]

that smeargle sprite is so cute 🥺

[sweet bay]

IKR

[hexed fog]

we need more unown ;;

come yalllll

volunteeeeeeer

[hollow quartz]

I'm already plenty unknown enough

[pale venture]

I don't wanna correct grammar and spelling when I'm not good at it myself

[hexed fog]

@narrow cosmos

[narrow cosmos]

🥷 ☁️

[hollow quartz]

honestly felt (especially since so many of my entries still get a "Grammar" note attached to them )

[hexed fog]

There are over 600 Infinex entries

Jee

zus

[narrow cosmos]

The man won't stop, he's going to overtake us, my bronze medal is guaranteed.

[hollow quartz]

Wait

I've written 600 since the last batch?? LMAO

I genuinely thought it was much less than that at a minimum

[pale venture]

You have an addiction

[hollow quartz]

slash hyperfixation, yes

[pale venture]

You're writing right now, aren't you?

[hollow quartz]

Yes!

-# Technically any time I talk here I am also writing since this is a text-based chat

[hollow quartz]

Also, this is a taste of your own medicine in a way

[tropic ermine]

I'm considering getting into dex entries in addition to sprites, anyone wanna convince me?
-# also anything i should do to get started other than reading the Dec entry guide?

[hollow quartz]

Even more ways to help make a player's experience all the more "full" with content + potentially new persptives to be gained on things as you analyze other sprites to try and write entries for them! (the two things that first came to my mind)
-# pretty much just look over the pinned messages in this channel and, if you feel like going an extra mile, you could also look and see at what may have led to some other entries getting denied, vs those that got approved, in the google sheets link in #dex-entries-submissions

[narrow cosmos]

Also make sure to use your Discord address and not whatever name appears in the chats, that's a common trip-up when submitting.

[tropic ermine]

Ah so lynx.mauls for me, not Dice Dragon, for example

[narrow cosmos]

Exactly.

[tropic ermine]

I think I'm convinced. I'll probably look over some official Pokemon dex entries too before I actually start lol, I only read the ones on my favorite Pokemon + those with multiple forms when i play official games so i need a wider frame of reference

Ignore that incredibly helpful autocorrect i had to fix lmao

[hollow quartz]

Something I've taken to doing is to focus on a single Pokémon/it's entire line and their official Pokédex entries as I try to write entries for their fusions just for extra referencing

The former of that statement being something I kinda already would typically do, the latter being a more recent part

[tropic ermine]

I could do Magikarp or bonsly as a focus . . .

Hmmm

[hollow quartz]

Honestly, prefixing this by saying that I speak on assumption, Bonsly might need some love, since I could imagine how it might be tricky to write for in some cases

[tropic ermine]

I love bonsais lol, and by extension bonsly :3 I'm going to go look at his entry right now lmao

[hollow quartz]

[narrow cosmos]

And then go look at any Bonsly fusion entries that exist, and see if they're entertaining. Never know what might inspire you.

I did a few in the past, totally not shilling.

[tropic ermine]

What's the format thingy again?

[rich goblet]

Three on each side

But also don’t include them when you submit

[tropic ermine]

'''test'''

[rich goblet]

Not the normal one the um

Shoot how do I explain this

[hollow quartz]

back-apostrophes...the ones on the tilde key

`

three of those prior to a sentence, i believe

[tropic ermine]

I'm on mobile, so they look the same 😭

[hollow quartz]

[tropic ermine]

'''test'''

It actually might not even have the other one lol

How inconsiderate, i have an idea already lmao

[hollow quartz]

three before and after, as I just tested elsewhere

[tropic ermine]

Found it! It's tap and hold

[hollow quartz]

I think...hm, lemme try the other supposed way and get back

ah, never mind then lol

[tropic ermine]

‘‘‘test‘‘‘

[hollow quartz]

oop

[tropic ermine]

Maybe ’’’test’’’

[hollow quartz]

maybe put spaces between the word and the marks?

[tropic ermine]

option 3

[narrow cosmos]

This reminds me of when I submitted entries on my phone, had to hold the apostrophe so it didn't use the wrong one.

[hollow quartz]

I'm taking guesses, admittedly, since I rarely type on mobile and have never really used this particular "discord trick" before

[tropic ermine]

There is 4 for some unholy reason lmao

[hollow quartz]

[tropic ermine]

` and ‘ and ’ and '
The first is the correct one

[hollow quartz]

ah so basically just remember

the most angled one

[tropic ermine]

Yep

For me it looks like an accent mark for Spanish

[hollow quartz]

alternatively, type the first three of those marks and then copy them to copy-paste before and after each time

[tropic ermine]

Lol I'm going to see if i can turn it into a custom emoticon or something so i only hit one button when i done have my laptop

[hollow quartz]

godspeed

[hollow nimbus]

They're called backticks

[hollow quartz]

Noted, I've never had to refer to them before so I just called them as they looked like to me at first glance

[tropic ermine]

Custom keyboard test: test

It only works on the default keyboard so far but a win is a win

Anyways now that that's working, here's my idea

Wait what exactly would i call the "leaves" on bonsly?

Since it's not really a plant

[hollow quartz]

Bulbs, orbs, growths

To name a few terms that come to mind

[tropic ermine]

I was thinking maybe orbs

I'll go with that for now lol

POKENAME regulates moisture by storing excess in its green orbs. Its orbs often grow unmanageable after heavy rain.

[hollow quartz]

-# also obligatory cuz of the white box

[hollow nimbus]

You can avoid using ⁨⁨orbs⁩⁩ twice in a row by replacing the second instance with ⁨These spheres⁩

[tropic ermine]

Lol whoops, i just pasted the image over

Ooo i like that

[hollow nimbus]

I'm curious about what you mean by unmanageable, though

They get too heavy?

[hollow quartz]

One other thing, which might be a me-perspective, is that it might sound better to say "the excess" or "excess fluid"

[tropic ermine]

I forgot to mention they grow 🤦 lmao

I'll workshop it lol

[hollow quartz]

Ye, it's always a development thing--it's a great start though, in my honest opinion
-# and I imagine it is quite welcome for a Klefki fusion because I could see how Klefki could be one of the problem Pokémon

[tropic ermine]

Problem Pokemon? How so

POKENAME regulates moisture by storing excess fluid in its green orbs. These spheres often grow too large to manage after heavy rain.

Attempt # 2

[hollow quartz]

Well, I say this in regards to Arceus, the most recent one that got an influx of entries because people would write entries that would depict its fusions as being godlike in actual power, rather than just in myths, stories, legends, etc etc

In Klefki's case, my assumption comes from

The fact that it carries inanimate objects/has an awkward body to work with, potentially, from my perspective

Or even just that Klefki is a bit "silly" so I imagine it might cause some to write overtly* "silly" entries, if that makes sense

[tropic ermine]

I get it now

[hexed fog]

Most of my klefki entries go over it levitating, making a jingling noise or eating keys

You can also say each orb is made of trillions of tiny keys unrecognizable to the naked eye

Could you imagine? Ugh. Nightmares if they fell into a shag carpet

[hollow quartz]

Snrk

[pale venture]

Gimme a Pokemon that needs more entries, I'll see if I can write a couple

[hollow quartz]

Solosis

[storm light]

Other than Cubone, Houndoom!

Ngl i kinda just scrolled on my phone until i stopped on a Pokemon lol

[pale venture]

Rad, ty

[storm light]

Man we're really gonna have to get through all the pokemon associated with death and doom and other shit before izik can rest lol

[pale venture]

I thought those would be the most popular

[hollow quartz]

Have to get through them all without the entries being too edgy*

[pale venture]

Ah lol

I got you now

I could start tackling mons based on more edgier topics if you want, I like making ghosts more goofy and playful than "I kill everything within a 25m radius"

A few examples

Also I'm at #214 now woah

[storm light]

I meant more like Pokemon that might become our next Problem Pokemon that izik wants us to speedrun entries for so people are less likely to make ones that are against guidelines and faq

[pale venture]

Oooh

That makes sense

After seeing some of the declined entries, I honestly don't blame him

[storm light]

Dex-ruary Day 2 - Ground Type

Cureon #104.136
POKENAME collect and hide bones in their fluffy fur. Their cries sound similar to a sobbing child, giving rise to legends of haunted volcanic ranges.

[pale venture]

Rosis #358.406
POKENAME have gooey bodies that can also act as a conductive battery, able to store large amounts of electricity without issue. POKENAME can use this stored energy to power their psychic abilities and also play pranks on unsuspecting victims.

That second line is really throwing me off, I wonder if there's a better way to word it

Also sidebar, Solosis and Rotom barely have anything to work with in their official dex entries

Mudoom #89.229
POKENAME have molten, toxic bodies that are dangerous to touch without protective gear. POKENAME are able to use their own body temperature to spew noxious fumes that leave burns that never heal.

And here's one for houndoom I like this one a lot better

@midnight siren Got two more for ya

[storm light]

Dex-ruary Day 3 - "Decor"

Corbro #222.80
POKENAME decorate their shell-covered tails with coral bits and discarded shells from other Pokemon. Some near-extinct species of coral have been found on POKENAME tails, causing conservationists to consider protecting POKENAME colonies.

[pale venture]

That's a cool sprite

Wait I forgot to do a cubone entry too

[storm light]

@rich goblet I hope you're happy that you influenced me to not use "very" as much for entries

[pale venture]

POKENAME verylike very the very sun very was gonna be my dex entry though 😔

THIS doesn't have a dex entry?? This sprite is so goofy though!

[storm light]

Dex-ruary Day 4 - "Love"

Kangasdisc #115.501a
POKENAME lovingly care for their young until they're ready to fend for themselves. Their swift swimming speed allows them to Headbutt threats before they get anywhere near POKENAME's young.

[pale venture]

Metabone #11.104
POKENAME have two shells that protect them until they reach evolution, which they then pass off to their offspring. POKENAME can fire small bones made from their own outer shell up to 50ft away.

[pale venture]

@midnight siren Another one here too, so 3 in total. (Metabone, Mudoom and Rosis)

I think when I can get to the point where I don't need checking for grammar and stuff, I'll be making a lot more of these

[summer saffron]

I was summoned?

Oh

The pokemon

I'll see myself out

[hexed fog]

Lol

[azure wagon]

Dex-ruary Day 5: Red Fusion

Charnix #5.95
POKENAME tunnels underground near volcanic regions. Its flames burn hottest after feeding on minerals only found in this environment.

[rugged socket]

@soft flicker @dapper cedar I've noticed that you have submitted some entries for DexSlog but not submitted them on the Google Form, they don't go in automatically so make sure to submit them!

[soft flicker]

Oh I know, I just submit my entries in big batches when I feel like it

Didn't have the motivation yet

[rugged socket]

No problem, just don't want all your hard work to go to waste!

[tropic ermine]

Alrighty, final call for feedback before I submit this :3

[tropic ermine]

Here's the message with the image btw, and my first attempt, but I'm going to use the text from the other one

[dapper cedar]

likewise, i usually do it in bursts, but appreciate the reminder

[rich goblet]

<@&1210701164426039366>

I am currently making a spriting event and I have a question.

If I have a google form that stores a sprite's entry, can I submit that information on behalf of the spriter under their name when it enters the sprite pack?

I'm trying to figure out some logistics

[midnight siren]

just to clarify, are you asking if you can submit a dex entry another user makes in the form?

[rich goblet]

TLDR Yes

I would be storing their username and submitting it after the spritepack is released

[hollow nimbus]

I don't really have any way to prevent that from happening
So I'm gonna say you can do it since any rules about that wouldn't be enforceable

Though if I find out you're changing their entries without their permission, we're gonna have a talk

[rich goblet]

No no, it's fine, I'll change the rules of the event

I was going to have people write about how their Pokemon might work in an office setting but I'll cut that part out

It'll still be fun

Also, where do I go to ask the sprite team something? I want to know if the sprite made during this even would need to be joke alts or could be mains

[midnight siren]

i mean having that as part of your event is fine, but i will say that as a prompt (especially if it is more of a spriting event instead of a pure dex event, meaning you might have less experienced dexers) could easily cause lore breaks/lack of dex tone that could cause them to be not approvable.

[midnight siren]

there isn't really a centralised location for that, if you send your question in #1222376526805209201 i can see if i can answer/if any other sprite people can

[jagged ledge]

Would you be submitting each entry individually, or are you saying you want to transfer entries from one form to another?

[rich goblet]

I would be copy-pasting entries from one form to another

I think Dragon Hunter's comment is valid though, since some spriters might not have experience with writing

[jagged ledge]

It also seems like a lengthy progress, especially with the two month sprite pack delay

[rich goblet]

I think that I will leave that part out then

[midnight siren]

my advice would be if you want to keep that aspect, you could always do something similar to what elusive dex does where all the previous events are available to see. i just check my entries once my sprites are in the game to submit

[jagged ledge]

If you want to encourage spriters to try out writing prompts with your event, it might be a good start, but make sure they read the rules of the official form and maybe ask other event staff for input or if they'd be willing to share sprites to use as examples or baselines so people would have something to submit now.

[rich goblet]

Noted, thank you!

[ebon warren]

The #1240773622612889681 includes Dex entries for sprites and we do not enter them for the spriter. If they want the entries submitted, they have to do so themselves.
Just as an example

[rich goblet]

Noted, I decided to simplify the event to make it easier on our dear spriters

[ebon warren]

You can always encourage them or even set a reminder for yourself to review them in the future to reach out to anyone that has not submitted and see if they want to do so. Obviously I'd encourage them getting some review here first so the entries can hopefully get approved quickly.

[rich goblet]

I will probably remind them when the sprite pack comes out yeah

[ebon warren]

Entirely up to you if you want to do that at all but it might be easier to set a reminder for yourself like 3+ months out, as a default. That way you know it will be well past any sprite pack update

[rich goblet]

Ooooh I like that idea, definitely going to do that

[midnight siren]

A POKENAME should just be POKENAME -> keeps plurality the same. otherwise, looks good

[midnight siren]

1. tempurature -> temperature. spelling issue
2. that is said -> that are said. fumes is plural, so it should be are.

you could remove are said to. its simply removing "weasel words", as saying something does happen (in this case) is often better than saying something might happen

Quietly contemplating a way to strike down Infinidex, the greatest threat to my chances of being number one, they of the 600 entries a week.

[hollow quartz]

I'm nearing 800 new ones from my current published entries, at least that's what i saw when I last checked my numbers

You have some extra time today since I had a late start with my gacha dailies at least

[narrow cosmos]

Honestly with your steady rate even with these delays, I should probably resign myself to silver-medal-at-best.

I commend your dedication and creativity.

[hollow quartz]

It's entirely hyperfixation so eventually it will peter out

[rich goblet]

I used to be like Infinex, but after running out of hyperfixation energy I now rely on habit and challenge

[rugged socket]

Could do with a few more hyperfixated people, come in and drop 2k entries and then peace out, be finished in no time

[rich goblet]

Yeah but we also need more sprite makers to do their job so we get to write about them

[rugged socket]

There's still like 75% of sprites that don't have an entry haha

Also if you can't beat em join em, get your hands dirty and make a couple

[rich goblet]

Good point

[rich goblet]

I need inspiration, I've done my daily entries but I can't come up with anything else right now

[midnight siren]

how about an entry about a fusion that heals other pokemon (like pansage's leaves for example)

[rich goblet]

I like that, one healing mon coming right up

https://www.fusiondex.org/meganium+blissey/

Each petal on POKENAME's body can be pressed into an oil that heals scrapes and cuts. They enjoy taking care of other Pokémon in the wild and are often spotted with a Chikorita in their front pouch.

[storm light]

Gimmie a Pokemon that acts as a nuisance to air traffic control towers or airports in general

[hollow quartz]

there's surely a latias or latios fusion that'd fit that i imagine

[storm light]

We need more nuisance pokemon tbh

We have all these cool guys doing cool shit, but we gotta balance them with ones that directly/indirectly cause humans problems

[hollow quartz]

True

[rich goblet]

Watch this...

[midnight siren]

just make like every zigzagoon entry about them rummaging through bins

[ebon warren]

What about a fusion that is often in a "support animal" role for Trainers, but perhaps more directly, so like specifically helping with mobility or enhancing the Trainer's other senses when they have one (or more) that aren't functional?

[hollow quartz]

alternatively, trubbish as well

[rich goblet]

@storm light
https://www.fusiondex.org/pidgeot+fletchinder/

Regarded as a nuisance by many air traffic controllers, POKENAME slam into air traffic control towers as they interfere with their natural migratory patterns. Many end up perching atop the towers, causing damage to the roof with their sharp talons.

[rich goblet]

Bet

[midnight siren]

true, true

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/kirlia+arcanine/
From opening cabinet doors with their paws to grabbing objects on the floor with their teeth, POKENAME are trained to make life easier for people with disabilities. They can anticipate whenever a person needs help by detecting thoughts of distress.

@ebon warren There you go!

Wait, I might need to work more on it, it doesn't have enough arcanine in it

Fixed

Shoot I probably should have said their trainer instead of a person

Ah it's a bit too late now

[hollow quartz]

i think it still works as-is

[rich goblet]

It does

Grouram #341.349c (Gogmazios)
This variant of POKENAME is covered from head to tail in a sticky, tar-like substance. Most of POKENAME's diet consists of sulfur and other volatile materials found in volcanic areas, which they use to fuel their Fire-type attacks.

-# I hope kupala likes the entries I've done for their mh sprites

[hollow quartz]

I hope Stories 3 sees a surge of more MH reference sprites

-# especially since it seems they are bringing back the elemental system of stories 1/the noticeable color changes of changing elements that stories 1 had so maybe that'll give some extra flexibility too, for all i know (which is very little when it comes to spriting as I have not the skill nor patience to try and sprite )

[hexed fog]

I miss judging dex entries

[hollow quartz]

[ebon warren]

This is great! It was almost exactly what I'd envisioned when I suggested it, specifically the emotional distress sensation making it better at helping. Nice!

[rich goblet]

Thank you! I'm completely spent today, but if you have any ideas feel free to zap my DMs until I wake up

[hollow quartz]

I say this endearingly but

Sometimes when I see some Pinsir sprites, I worry what nightmares the sprite-maker has been made to bear witness to

[rich goblet]

felt

[ebon warren]

Not Mr. Mime?

Those are worse

[hollow quartz]

on a completely different tangent, a question to be had (which I think could also be good general info in regards to fossil Pokémon: is there any particular rule about saying a fusion between two fossil Pokémon, perhaps specifically the first stages, is the result of, say, splicing the DNA contained with the two different fossils? <@&1210701164426039366> Example: "This Pokémon [Omanyte/Cranidos] was created by combining the fossilized DNA of two different Pokémon." as at least one line of the entry

[hollow quartz]

those too, and add miltank in there while at it

[hollow nimbus]

Are you asking if it's possible to use splicers on fossils?

[hollow quartz]

not the fossils themselves but the dna within them, or something akin to the splicers--kinda like how the Gen 8 fossil 'mons were technically the spliced results of two different fossils

[ebon warren]

I think the Pinsir and Miltank ones make some sense because anatomically they're simply exaggerating what's already there.
Mr. Mime fusions? They take creativity to a whole new level: sheer Eldritch horror

[rich goblet]

I'ma be for real, saying that "Omatops or something was created by combining the fossilized DNA" is not only a probable FAQ break but also kinda boring

Like my philosophy around entries is about action

Like what that pokemon dooooooo

/rantover

EDIT: Making a fix to make sense

[hollow nimbus]

I believe there's an FAQ about Pokémon 'created' in laboratories that's applicable here - Because Pokémon can fuse in the wild, these fusions can't be invented by humans, but you can say that the first one was discovered through splicing experiments

[hollow quartz]

Figured I'd check just in case, because I perused the FAQ for specific mentions to the fossil 'mons before asking, to see if the question had ever possibly been posed.

[hollow nimbus]

So, you can't say "POKENAME is the result of fossilized dna being combined" because you're claiming that the pokemon species didn't exist before the invention of human-made splicing

[hollow quartz]

To be fair, I considered it specifically for Omanyte/Cranidos only thus far since the sprite was reminiscent of the gen 8 fossil 'mons in the way of an omanyte as the head on the body of a cranidos--literally speaking

[ebon warren]

That's because they are treated basically the same as any other Pokémon. Them being "fossils" doesn't really impact the PIF fusions process since they have to be reanimated (and thus exist as a normal Pokémon) before fusion happens anyway.

[rich goblet]

You know, I see what you're saying, but it's so foreign to my style that I don't know how to help

[hollow quartz]

Oh no need for help, it was just an idle thought that crossed my mind cuz I saw the sprite. I'd still be able to figure an entry without saying anything about what I posed as a question

[hollow quartz]

Whilst true, there are some custom entries that have mentioned them being resurrected from a fossil or from a preserved dna sample or such so the question still felt appropriate to run by just in case, even if for the sake of future entry writers (or so is how my mind processed before asking the question)

Better to further refine the parameters when it comes to special cases like the Fossil Pokémon, in essence

(And I count Genesect there since official entries have mentioned it being a revived ancient bug Pokémon)

[ebon warren]

It's not a bad question at all, and I'd have to see those other entries to give more specific feedback on them

[hollow quartz]

Ye, another extension of why I tossed the question out there would also be because the gen 8 fossil 'mons exist, but in a different capacity: if not having happened yet, it could happen in the future where someone might try and write an entry that may even just be as simple as "It resembles a mistaken process of fossil resurrection in a far-off region" or something to that effect so it might serve well to make it clearer that one cannot splice fossils in the way I had posed, so as to avoid even referencing and whatnot

-# I am probably very much overthinking things, but so is how my mind tends to work with regards to just about every single darned thing around me and/or in my life

[hollow nimbus]

1. No, the games set in Galar have not occurred yet in the timeline
2. Nobody relies (or should rely) on one fusion pokedex entry as a source of lore information for their writing

[hollow quartz]

Wasn't implying the second, and forgot in regards to the first. But c'est la vie.

[shy portal]

is there a role for pokedex entry updates

@hollow nimbus Would you say this is an appropriate use of a colon? This is the first time I'm using it in an entry lmao

Gourpod #490.11
POKENAME pulls its body around using arms covered in sticky hairs. It also uses these arms as defense against Pokémon that would eat it: sticking the arms into the predator's mouth and allowing hairs to flake off, causing intense irritation.

-# Which, mind you, is a biased assumption since I have an admittedly low opinion of Discord and their updates

[keen kestrel]

Is that what keeps happening to me!! Thank you for explaining lol

“Double tap to add an emoji but you don’t know which one it will be” insane

[hollow nimbus]

No, this isn't quite right. If I simplify what you have here by stripping away nonessential information, you have
It also uses arms: sticking the arms in and allowing hairs.
In this case, you have replaced the word by with a colon.
It also uses arms by sticking the arms in and allowing hairs.
It also uses these arms as defense against Pokémon that would eat it by sticking the arms into the predator's mouth and allowing hairs to flake off, causing intense irritation.

To use a colon, you need a sort of "And now here's the information" moment beforehand. Here's ways you could do this:
The sticky hairs have an amazing purpose: They stick into the predator's mouth.
Its arms have a special role: They use sticky hairs to irritate predators.
POKENAME hides a secret in its arms: They're covered in sticky hairs.

Huh

Where did the reply go

[hollow nimbus]

This was meant to be a reply to this

[hollow quartz]

As I said earlier: Classic discord moment

-# Which also conveniently serves as another example of when a colon can be appropriate, as I just realized when I came back to my desk

[hollow nimbus]

Yep

"here is what I said before"
"here is what the hairs are for"
"here is what the special role is"
"here is what the secret is"

Followed by a colon, which is ending punctuation

[limber parrot]

POKENAME burrows into icebergs, carving complex mazes to evade predators. Rising global temperatures are destroying their natural habitats. As a result, POKENAME sightings are scarce.

Am i allowed to talk about global warming?

[keen kestrel]

That’s a good question, idk if pokemon planet is experiencing climate change?? Do Cursola pokedex entries from galar region say anything about it 🤔

Fascinating loophole they used… it was affected by climate change, but in ancient times, not modern times!

[hollow quartz]

Climate change is also technically mentioned in [the second half of]* Mamoswine's chosen PIF Pokédex entry: "The population thinned when it turned warm after the ice age."

[keen kestrel]

you could instead just reference "habitat loss" which could happen anywhere even without climate change

but i guess there isn't much else that causes habitat loss in frozen seas lol

[storm light]

You could probably combine the last two sentences into something like Due to habitat loss, POKENAME sightings have become scarce in recent years.

I miss when I had Pokémon plushies--they were relatively cheap and whatnot but they got me through nights sometimes. Tragically, as with such things, wear and tear eventualy claimed them

[hollow nimbus]

I was always super careful with mine

[hollow quartz]

I was too, but I had them back from single digit years up to mid double digit years. Plus I had a lot of dogs and cats throughout my life so.....yeah.

Still not as big a travesty as the ceiling collapse that caused the softback Pokémon book classmates got me while I was recovering from surgery to be soaked with rainwater, though

-# glad it's cheaper, just surprised a bit--been so long since I last bought merch, though, so my perception's likely distorted

[rich goblet]

I preordered and the price dropped like 5$ so it was totally worth

I only pay like 20$ or so now

When it ships of course

[hollow quartz]

if amazon's being honest to me, I get free delivery when it can ship and it only costs me around $12 to pre-order

Aegislash/Huntail (329.563)
POKENAME is completly encased in armor that is too strong to penetrate even with the strongest of blades. They are precise with aim and can take multiple ships out at sea, escape is almost impossible when it locks onto its target.

How do you guys feel about these entries?

[hollow quartz]

I think for Aegislash/Huntail one, it might convey the intent better to say "take out multiple ships at sea" since "take multiple ships out at sea" can sound as if it is taking the ships out from port into the open waters, based on the typical turn of phrase.

For the Wartortle/Darkrai one, I believe you should use a semicolon ";" instead of the comma and you need to use "it's" rather than "its." You also need to say "tend" rather than "tends" since you are using POKENAME in the plural tense, and I believe you should also say "fishermen's" since you are saying "homes."

As for Deoxys/Elekid, "If POKENAME is plugged into a device, it will result in a virus." might be better put as "If POKENAME plugs itself into a device, it will infect it with a virus." But that one I am less certain of, as it may only be due to my perspective.

Overall as far as I can tell, they're good--just small tweaks to be made

I've never done this before, but I like writing and thought I could contribute this way!
Venupoke #3.79 (sprite by .deye)
POKENAME enjoys nothing more than to lounge in the sun all day, soaking up nutrients. It would much rather photosynthesize than go fishing with its tail.

Genedo #94.437 (sprite by judedadude09)
POKENAME is a capricious, deadly predator of the sea. If your ship catches POKENAME'S attention, hope that it is more playful than hungry.

Kingking #99.34 (sprite by mope7)
POKENAME's thick body is slow and sturdy. It specializes in melee, and its overgrown claw has the power to easily topple over a lighthouse.

Charet #6.162 (sprite by alecgunter)
POKENAME's lithe, serpentine body weaves through the brush, searching for powerful opponents or helpless prey. Its tail is a common cause of grassland fires.

up to you, its purely personal preference, nothing technical that's wrong with it

[midnight siren]

ok so

1. you can remove the comma in the first sentence, it's unneeded there.
2. in your second sentence, you either need to replace the comma after produce with a full stop or add though in front of how. i would recommend going for the latter option

[midnight siren]

looks good to me

[midnight siren]

i think you can remove the comma after once a year, other than that it looks good to me!

[keen kestrel]

I would love to write the dex entries when i make the sprite… i need a bot that pings me in a thread when the sprite gets added to the game lol

[hexed fog]

not you reminding me i never posted my sprites

anyway working on entries. goal is to empty the list by today

oooo

the spam filter is working

[midnight siren]

i'll make sure to get yours checked

[pale venture]

Ty for your help I'll submit em later

[narrow cosmos]

Somehow I thought we'd already cleared Cubone, maybe last time I checked the images just weren't loading. Well, doing my part, I've taken a break for long enough, gotta close that gap between me and my eternal rival.

[thorn ingot]

The images not loading means there’s no custom sprite for them yet

[midnight siren]

not t'other day, cause the database was partly down meaning the sheet didn't have any images in it which i think is what sk meant

[thorn ingot]

Oh

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, think it must have been bugged. Though at the time I just thought Izik or Infinidex had gone on another spree.

[timid sky]

When spotted, POKENAME will make a scary face to try and scare away the one who saw it. If that doesn't work, it burrows into the ground with its tail to escape.

[hexed fog]

a new fad you guys are getting into: using the word 'earth'

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

y

[narrow cosmos]

Alternate word for ground, it's valid. :v

[hexed fog]

I'm changing it to ground >:O it effs with the flags i use

[narrow cosmos]

:O

You dare

[storm light]

✨soil✨

[wary gate]

Fair enough

[keen kestrel]

The move earthquake is now banned

Pokemon can only use dirtquake now

[hollow nimbus]

That sounds like a tasty knockoff of a Dairy Queen avalanche

"Yeah, my friend will order the Oran Berry sundae, and I'll have the chocolate dirtquake"

[keen kestrel]

Avalanche? Mudslide? The only good dessert is the Sinkhole

[hollow nimbus]

Hm
Pokédex entries for Pokémon that contribute ingredients for ice cream flavors

[keen kestrel]

i know this is not popular but i can dream… i want vanillish line in this game so bad haha

[timid sky]

POKENAME sings a soothing melody to put its prey to sleep, then begins to chew on them with its fangs. If the prey is bigger then it, POKENAME will inflate its body so it can hold more food.

[hexed fog]

just saying yall should finish the problem pokemon list

😛

[narrow cosmos]

I'm working on it dagnabbit.

So greedy smh my head

[timid sky]

Problem Pokémon list?

[hollow nimbus]

This is payback for you guys bugging Izik to finish the Team Wild list

[storm light]

I would if i was feeling better than i already don't

[hollow nimbus]

The Pokémon featured in Poké Pages tend to have a lot of newer people target them for some odd, often lore-breaking entries

We're encouraging people who know what they're doing to fill those out first

[hexed fog]

nice i have so many sk entries to do

still dealing with the duck entries lol

[soft flicker]

Another problem child down
Cubone/Noivern
Though it resembles a Noivern, this Pokémon cannot make high-pitched noises to orient itself in the dark. Instead, it has a thick bone plating on its throat that, when struck with POKENAME's club, creates a loud sound that it then uses to echolocate.

[narrow cosmos]

I've been on a decent streak for a while. Still not to Infinidex's level though.

[keen kestrel]

What are the poke pages??

[soft flicker]

Would it be too much to say that this Pokémon breaks open bones and eats the bone marrow inside?

[hexed fog]

#dex-entries-discussion message

[storm light]

Or maybe it feeds almost exclusively on bones, like a bearded vulture? 👀

[hexed fog]

theres a link on the problem pokemon list Robo

[hexed fog]

nah

now if you say it rips the bones out of other pokemon...

thats not an option lol

or do what chibi said, have it eat the bones whole

[storm light]

Man, animals are just so interesting when they find really obscure niches

Maybe we need some pokemon that do that too? 👀

[hexed fog]

gimme a cubone fusion that hits trees with its bone to find hollow areas when looking for prey

or a cubone fusion that throws its bone at stormclouds if its startled by thunder

[storm light]

god that image

Cubone fusion walking around during some mild rain when suddenly

CRACK

Dude gets so startled it yeets its bone at the clouds

[keen kestrel]

Ohhh i have seen the poke pages i forgot they were called that

[storm light]

Just gotta do like maybe 50 more and I can have that researcher role, but probably gonna wait

[hexed fog]

gimme a cubone fusion that wields its bone like a broadsword! cmannnn

[keen kestrel]

make a sprite for it

[rich goblet]

I thought the cubone list was still broken

[hexed fog]

nope

[rich goblet]

Cool, I’ll get on a few when I get home

[hexed fog]

241.71.png Miltank farms in locations close to jungles should beware of POKENAME presence. Its most favorite meal is Miltank, luring them near it with sweet scents before attempting to swallow the bovine whole.

[limber parrot]

POKENAME visits the homes of new parents, attempting to soothe any of their worries. If it realizes the home is an unsafe environment, it may try to steal the newborn.

is this too much

[hexed fog]

Imagine fusing with a victreebel then eating your parents

[regal cedar]

Can we not

[hexed fog]

thanks @narrow cosmos I needed that nightmare

[narrow cosmos]

Hey, blame the sprite-maker for giving me the idea, what was I supposed to do with a sprite that cursed.

[hexed fog]

the soothing part is very tog-centric but what does that have to do with the other half of the fusion

[narrow cosmos]

At least once this approval wave is done I can finally fix that issue with a Meloetta fusion where an accidental dupe lead to the wrong entry being denied.

[hexed fog]

throw it in the custom errors now i dont wanna miss it

[soft flicker]

I really couldn't help myself
Cubone/Unown
For centuries POKENAME has been a symbol of loss, especially the loss of a young child. The origin of this association is unknown, but theories suspect that since it feeds on strong emotions, it has often been observed near houses with recent deaths.

[hexed fog]

That sprite... erm...

hold off on posting until i get back to you Pixel

pls

[soft flicker]

Naww, I liked this entry

[hexed fog]

it's creative as an entry, but I am double checking if that sprite should even be in the game

[narrow cosmos]

I did a similar thing for a Porygon fusion referencing loss.

[soft flicker]

(Theoretically if I can find another Loss reference the entry most likely could be tagged onto that one. The entry is so 'generic'/vague that it could work)

[rich goblet]

@hexed fog I have done five, I have a busy day so that'll be it for now

[hollow quartz]

I am finally home, and I see we still might need more Cubone so I just need to hope I can tell which ones I already wrote some for as I re-browse the cubone page again

[narrow cosmos]

He arrives, time to strike and smite my rival down before he grows too powerful!

[hollow quartz]

I did write one on my laptop but that felt too weird so I waited til I was back at my actual PC

[hexed fog]

remove the " especially the loss of a young child" portion for now and feel free to submit. We are looking into it now and worst case scenario we deal with it later

[narrow cosmos]

Ooh, finally passed 5K approved entries!

[hollow quartz]

Its outer skull is marred with scars acquired during battles and marks drawn using its own ink. Its back fins contain a poison that causes exorbitant crying, which can lead to dehydration if not treated.

I think exorbitant is correct to use here but, as one can imagine, I don't use the word often--I just knew it existed and what the definition was. I just am unsure if it's a perception thing or not as to of if "unreasonably high crying" sounds right. Which I could easily swap it out for excessive, but I also wanna keep from using excessive...excessively

-# and while yes there's the logic of "if you're doubting it then don't use it" but I can see both sides of where it does sound like it fits and where it might not so I was mostly just curious on opinions about it

[hexed fog]

meh seems fine

[hexed fog]

**The 08FEB2026 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]

if you guys notice this update not working please let me know

[hollow quartz]

This means before long I'll not have to worry about dupe entrying (until my next spree)

[hexed fog]

Aaaaaand BAM! Problem Pokemon List for Cubone Heads complete!

well done yall, Cubone Bodies is up

[narrow cosmos]

And thus we begin anew.

24 hours until Infinidex has another 600+ entry backlog for Izik.

[hollow quartz]

I'm not THAT quick

[narrow cosmos]

[hollow quartz]

I like that I see that Cubone/Kangaskhan has 3 entries now on one of its two sprites

[narrow cosmos]

Popular combo, that.

To think that if some of the beta elements remained, we would have had a Marowak evolution that basically looked like Kangaskhan, more or less.

I find the stuff from those leaks fascinating to think about how the games might have been if they didn't change as much over development.

Probably why I jump at the opportunity to dex up any sprites referencing beta ones.

[thorn ingot]

It is a popular combo

But mine was first so you guys are slow

lol same thing happened with cubone/charmeleon

[narrow cosmos]

Izik, calm the heck down and let us tackle some Pokemon will you? Always telling us to do the dex entries then you swoop up and do 50 of 'em in half an hour.

[rich goblet]

I'm home from church-- Oh there's a whole update

[hexed fog]

;A;

I never get to write them anymoooooooooore

[rich goblet]

Don't be too mean SK, you might end up where Izik is one day

[hollow quartz]

If I keep up my pace steadily enough, it won't be long before I dethrone the Duck next

[narrow cosmos]

I'm still about three thousand entries short of that, and then I have to pull an Izik just to see how long before I'm dethroned too.

[rich goblet]

This goes without saying but don't burn yourself out on this

At the end of the day this is meant to be in good fun, so remember to do that

[hollow quartz]

Oh I know, my commentary is not "I must keep doing this to achieve a higher ranking"

So much as it is "I feel proud of my pacing without feeling any massive burnout"

[narrow cosmos]

My pace tends to be sporadic times of one or two days of burning through tons of entries, then be brain-dead for a few days and take a break.

[hollow quartz]

I've had at least one moment like that, part of which was due to losing track of which ones I already wrote for and paralyzing myself out of worry of writing dupe entries

[narrow cosmos]

Ah, been there, sometimes I do a chain of random fusions, but as time goes longer between updates, I sometimes wonder if I've already done that one.

[limber parrot]

i have 460 entries ingame

40 more to go

[hollow quartz]

[thorn ingot]

I have over 900

Less than 100

Until the big 1k

[rich goblet]

I wish there was an easy way to find out which Pokemon I haven't done entries for

[hollow quartz]

I feel it--the closest I get is by seeing if I have a massive influx of a specific Pokémon's fusions with my existing entries

[rich goblet]

There's a website I use to figure out how many psyducks I've done, but none for how many don't have one

[pale venture]

I wanna do entries for mons with barely any entries, but the only signifier for that is pokemon with barely any sprites

So if you find a way, lemme know

[hollow quartz]

I think...

[hollow quartz]

https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_spriter.html I think you can use this to see how many entries a Pokemon might have? I think that's what I was told before about it

[hexed fog]

The Unown line should be one of the lowest but that will eventually go on a problem pokemon list (albeit towards the end)

We have quite a few to do before them

[pale venture]

I'd have to check them one by one, but it's a start

[hollow quartz]

Solosis and Duosion come to mind as two others that probably lack some entries, especially when they're the bodies

[pale venture]

So you're telling me to make 100 unown entries

[hexed fog]

Unown is just very difficult for folks

[pale venture]

Yeah I get that

[hexed fog]

Up to you

[hollow quartz]

Unown is one of those that my brain struggles with at times specifically when it is the body

[hexed fog]

Id prefer problem pokemon every time

[rich goblet]

Unown isn't that hard but for some of them there just isn't a lot of information

[hollow quartz]

There's that too

[narrow cosmos]

A lot of mid-tier Pokemon in three-stage evolutions also are lacking a bit.

[rich goblet]

literally mid

[narrow cosmos]

Klink and Klang are also ones that probably don't have much because of body weirdness.

[hollow quartz]

Which is why sometimes with Unown I reference them having hidden power as a reference to their actual singular-known move and that media has depicted them as having an untapped power

[hexed fog]

And because people keep saying theyre artificial

Theyre not

Theyre pokemon lol

Theyre living creatures

[rich goblet]

Did any of you see my recent entry for klink clefairy?

[hexed fog]

But yeah theyll be on the list eventually

[hollow quartz]

Wait huh--how does anyone derive unown as being artificial??? They are literally depicted as being what ancient languages MAY have been inspired by, not as Pokemon created to resemble those ancient characters LOL

[hexed fog]

No klink

[hollow quartz]

Sadly so true, the mid-stages get neglected a bunch

[rich goblet]

I'm so proud of this one

Also yay its already on daena dex

[narrow cosmos]

First stages usually have the cute factor, and last stages the cool factor. Mid stages get the awkward puberty instead.

[pale venture]

I forgot I said I wanted to make a bunch of haxorus entries

[hollow quartz]

True

[pale venture]

Ima leave them for now, I wanna tackle unown

[narrow cosmos]

Do Unown/Haxorus.

[hollow quartz]

Haxorus has a lot for it I think? Though I might be perceptionally biased since I've written some for Haxorus and its line

[pale venture]

There's a bunch of haxorus ones that look really cool but have no dex entry

[hexed fog]

Lots of dragon pokemon have "theyre dragons" and very little else

[narrow cosmos]

Time to go claim them before you do. >:3

[pale venture]

I was sniped

[hollow quartz]

Very tragic

[pale venture]

INFINEX DID IT ALREADY

It has been a day, how

[hollow quartz]

Wait, which one is that

[narrow cosmos]

Infinex made a deal with the Pokedevil for infinite dex powers.

[hollow quartz]

Ah, yeah, I also did a slight burst of Kecleon entries recently

[pale venture]

Infinex..

[hollow quartz]

In tandem with doing a pass through Axew/Fraxure/Haxorus recently

[pale venture]

I guess I don't need to do haxorus now

[hollow quartz]

I also wrote an entry for the alt sprite for this fella

[hexed fog]

How about groudon cubone drying out lakes by waving its bone at the sky

@narrow cosmos make it so

[hollow quartz]

So cubone "shaman" [used for the bit] that summons droughts by performing a sun dance, as opposed to a rain dance

[narrow cosmos]

First I need to make a Giratina entry related to my comment earlier.

"POKENAME is the devil itself, bargaining with pitiful humans. It cackles with silent glee as it grants them cursed boons, backfiring horribly on them and leaving them groveling before it as it painfully harvests their soul to torment for eternity."

[hexed fog]

Gourgeist cubone's bone actually being made of intertwined vines @hollow quartz do eet

[narrow cosmos]

What do you think?

[hexed fog]

Y

[pale venture]

There's a couple I really wanna do, so ima do them before Infinex can

I gotta stop them from taking over the world

[hexed fog]

Goomy cubone leaks a bad smelly liquid that helps in be solitary @pale venture gogo

[pale venture]

[hollow quartz]

First, I need you to know I clicked "random fusion" to help me re-pull up cubone's pages quicker and the site literally gave me this:

The site literally made it like twice as easy to return to cubone

[hexed fog]

Glaceon cubone chisels ice into sculptures of those it likes @narrow cosmos

[narrow cosmos]

Funny enough, I think I did something similar with a Cubone fusion already somewhere, though I think it wasn't a Glaceon.

[hollow quartz]

Tragically the gourgeist cubone is a stick, not vines, visually-speaking--but I can still work some magic

[hexed fog]

The problem pokemon tab has preview images that dissappear when an entry thats not yet approved is made. It eliminates the chance of dupes

[hollow quartz]

Which is probably for the best since I technically already did something closer to the entwined vines, sorta, with Phantump/Cubone and their alternating evolutions

[hollow quartz]

Oh I know, I just don't have the spreadsheet up on a tab so it was easier to make a new tab using "random fusion" and then go to cubone's page from that

[hexed fog]

Hitmonlee cubone balances on its bone while doing kicks @narrow cosmos

[hollow quartz]

Izik right now: I'll have you guys write out these ideas rather than fill out my own dex count (endearingly)

[hexed fog]

(I'm not allowed to write more than 50) 🙁

[hollow quartz]

@narrow cosmos this is your fault

[narrow cosmos]

Hey, he knows I kid when I say that stuff, don't you pin this on me!

[hollow quartz]

You dealt it, now you reap it!

[hexed fog]

Kadabra cubone its spoon is made of bone

[pale venture]

Goobone #444.104 Pokémon
POKENAME sleep around the remains of their ancestors, isolating themselves from other Pokémon while they wait for evolution. The nests POKENAME reside in are extremely filthy, making it a hazard for anyone to enter without precautions.

[hollow quartz]

POKENAME wander forests and towns at night, using their sticks to create eerie melodies. Some people have made a tradition of leaving offerings for these Pokémon to appease them and ward off the speculated curses wrought by their music. @hexed fog how's this for gourgeist/cubone

[pale venture]

There Your dirt fella

[hollow quartz]

changed songs to melodies and the second songs to music since songs might imply vocals

and my intent was they basically "drum up" stuff using their sticks

or, alternative visual: a prisoner clacking a metal cup against the bars of their cell

[hollow quartz]

Its club is made of a mass of its own shed vines that it has woven together. It stares longingly at others from a distance, the occasional tear dropping from its glimmering eye sockets.
Here's your vines, only it's Pumpkaboo/Cubone instead
-# and with this I ought to go to bed

[narrow cosmos]

Night, Infinex!

[hollow quartz]

I know what you are plotting.
-# but in seriousness, night

[narrow cosmos]

I'm probably breaking for the night myself anyway, I binged hard between last night and today. About time for me to go brain-dead again.

[pale venture]

Izik didn't even react to mine

Damn I need to step up my game

[rugged socket]

The 5 Pokémon with the least entries are: Frogadier (19), Quilladin (32), Chesnaught (37), Armaldo (42), Monferno (43)

This doesn't include alts, taken off the 'Dex Grid' sheet

[pale venture]

Good to know

Tyty

[rugged socket]

The 5 Pokémon with the most entries are: Wooper (766), Arceus (634), Bulbasaur (514), Psyduck (511), Sylveon (236)

[lethal plume]

What is zapmolcuno pokedex number

[pale venture]

https://www.fusiondex.org/zapmolcuno/

It already has a dex entry

[hollow quartz]

It's funny seeing Arceus up there now since the rush to do entries for it

[rugged socket]

Yep, and Cubone is 6th!

[hollow quartz]

Once I finish my dailies I can try to help boost Cubone even further

[rugged socket]

DexSlog - Graveler/Shuckle - Groudon/Graveler

POKENAME live deep below the ground, but on occasions rise to the surface, creating the same warning signs as an earthquake. Researchers have discovered that Shuckle are able to tell the difference, and do not curl up when POKENAME is approaching.

Get invloved here (only 2 remaining!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEDisY-UaS44v_kBY8tNA4qmVEP6fToEKTzBPN_bcro/edit?usp=sharing

[rugged socket]

@oak wyvern You have claimed Natu/Onomatapoeia, are you still planning to fill it in?

[hexed fog]

Oh f we need to knock out sylveon before marowak

[hollow quartz]

oh the irony, purely since we're closer to wrapping cubone up

[narrow cosmos]

Three Hoenn newbies, a fossile mon, and one of the mid stages. Not surprised that's the lineup for the least amount.

[regal cedar]

Triple Fusions do not have entries up for submittal.

[oak wyvern]

hi sorry I just woke up, yeah I still plan on doing it

[rugged socket]

Awesome:)

[oak wyvern]

DEXSLOG — Natu/Contains an onomatopoeia
POKENAME's diet consists of young tree sprouts and leaves, chomping at any new plant growth it can find. Local superstition holds that the saplings it doesn't devour will grow ten times healthier, so it's commonly kept at orchards.

[spark magnet]

DEXSLOG
Ferroseed/Shuckle
POKENAME is particularly fond of the juices oozing from Shuckle, using its tongue to latch onto one and suck its juices until satiated. Once considered amusing, pest control have now begun using POKENAME to clear any invasive Shuckle nests.
This any good?

[rugged socket]

Yes dude, looks good!

[rich goblet]

Might want to redo the screenshot, around 7th column there's a text box

[rugged socket]

DexSlog #4: Great Outdoors has been completed! Well done and thank you for everyone that got involved, there were so many entertaining and well-written entries!

Prizes

Most Prolofic writer: @azure wagon with 22 entries!
Random Square: 5, 6 - @sick yacht Natu/Trail
Best entry: @sweet bay

There were also 4 secret Pokémon that were hoping to be put in this grid - Kakuna, Lucario, Carvanha, Spiritomb. Lucario was added by @soft flicker!

If you have won a prize, send me a message or reply to this. If you won one of the main prizes. you can request both a fused Pokémon to have an entry written for it, and a prompt/Pokémon to be used for the next grid, if you found a secret Pokémon you can select either an entry or to influence the next grid!

[rich goblet]

fifth column, might need to fix it up before it gets stowed away

Just now noticed

[rugged socket]

@sweet bay - Ferroseed/Naturally regenerates ecosystems

When Ho-seed reaches the end of its lifespan, it explodes into ashes that contain nutrient-rich spikes essential for plant growth. Forests grown from its ashes are exceptionally lush and healthy.

[soft flicker]

What's the fith secret pokemon? You only listed four

[rugged socket]

@sweet bay - Regigigas/Plays sports

Rogigas charges its throws with electricity, then hurls enormous stone javelins over long distances. Stone columns arranged in strange patterns are theorized to be the results of competition between Rogigas.

[rugged socket]

Oops, there were only 4 this time, had too many winners last time XD

@sick yacht - Roselia/Acts as emotional/physical support Pokémon

Rosevee are strictly loyal to a single Trainer throughout their lifetime, using their flowers and fragrances to cheer up and provide emotional support. It is said that their petals change color when close to evolution.

Natu/Found in remote areas - @rain tiger

It is said that POKENAME can stare through its eyelids even when it's asleep. In remote forests, POKENAME is always found staring at any kind of food nearby.

@rich goblet - Graveler/Naturally regenerate ecosystems

POKENAME help farmers infuse the earth with essential nutrients for local wildlife. After releasing nutrients through the soil, they are released into the wild where many maintain their role as a forest guardian.

[soft flicker]

Fun fact to whatever Unknown declined my entry for Pallosand/Magcargo for bring too hot/hotter than the surface of the sun:
"Should anyone ever break POKENAME's brittle shell, it will immediately viciously attack the one responsible. Those not immediately incinerated by its 18000°F body temperature will be slowly drained of their vitality."
I took that number directly from Magcargos dex entry. This number appears in many of its Entry (Saphire, Pearl, Diamond, Platinum, Black and White and all of their remakes)

Should I resubmit it with a more reasonable number or nah?

[rich goblet]

Honestly I would resubmit with a bigger number to do a bit of trolling but that might be too petty

[hollow quartz]

I would assume the number is considered vastly nonsensical in regards to PIF lore since that temperature would make Magcargo and its fusions probably just...world destroyers a bit? Or at least I imagine the damage they would bring would be horrific

[hollow nimbus]

It's one thing to say that a Pokémon is [insert unfathomably large number]
You can just pretend that 18000 isn't actually that hot because [pokemon magic]
It's another thing to say that it actually immediately incinerates those around it

There's not really any Pokémon where it's like "you will die if you own this Pokémon"

[soft flicker]

When i first posted the entry here for review I asked if incinerated should be changed for burned but nobody said anything so I assumed it was okay

[hollow nimbus]

We can't have eyes on all entries at once

[soft flicker]

Nobody said that?

[hollow nimbus]

A lot of people who say "well nobody stopped me" tend to try to offload blame onto others around them, so I'm just preemptively saying that we can't monitor all of the drafts here for errors

[soft flicker]

Soo what should I change for the entry, only change incinerated to burned or additionally changing the numbers to be more reasonable

[hollow nimbus]

The main problem is that it's impossible for the player to be near this Pokémon

Just tone it down so being near this Pokémon isn't a death sentence

You can change incinerated to burned, or you could say that the slow vitality drain is conducted through the heat

I don't think the number itself is a problem, but if it gets denied again because the number is too large, just ping @hexed fog or myself, and one of us will make sure it gets fixed

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, Infinite Fusion goes by a different logic than the canon games, so certain stuff that might be official in the canon games won’t work here. It’s why we have the Problem Pokémon like Arceus, Magcargo, Cubone, Porygon, etc.

[hollow quartz]

Phew, my random internet blip didn't cause me to somehow double-submit an entry

[azure wagon]

Dex-ruary Day 9: "Cute" 🩷

Gibull #297.209
POKENAME's cute appearance often causes others to underestimate it. When threatened, it lets out a fierce roar before revealing its sharp fangs.

[narrow cosmos]

Curse having to work for a living, every time I come back from a shift my two rivals have been wreaking havoc on the submissions list!

[hollow quartz]

I've been deep in the Sylveon mines today to pre-emptively try and help save it from its ill-fated future

My only limiter has been having to help family today last minute

[narrow cosmos]

I remember doing a Sylveon dive a while back myself.

Next, we tackle the Porygons.

[hollow quartz]

[narrow cosmos]

I feel that.

[storm light]

gonna try and get some problem pokemon entries in

[shy portal]

am i allowed to request a pokedex entry for one of my sprotes

[thorn ingot]

Yeah sure hit me

[shy portal]

gooper

[storm light]

wdyt?POKENAME sense their environment using the goo coating their gills. Oddly, the goo does not interfere with breathing. They spread a thin layer of slime around their waterside nests to act as an early warning system against predators.

oh wait they're gills not whiskers

[thorn ingot]

While POKENAME normally don't go on land during the day to hunt food, rain keeps their skin cool and moist, allowing them to stay out for longer. However, this causes them to overeat, with many barfing up goo after the hunting period is over.

Oh

[storm light]

I mean, both could work lol

I edited mine ot be a little more in-line with Wooper's physiology

[shy portal]

he frew up

[storm light]

Now you gotta make an alt with that face

[storm light]

Alright, actually time fo rsome problem pokemon

[storm light]

Do you think it'd be too out of tone to use the word "bonking" when referring to a cubone fusion hitting something or another creature?

I just think it'd be funny

[hollow condor]

Hello if someone can telle me where i can post this to make it a sprite of Kyurem And Garchomp

There is a legend that POKENAME excavate continuously, using their metallic drill to form seemingly random caves. POKENAME will try to break through anything that stands in their way, capable of even walking through lava without so much as a scratch.

Weesteel #110.449
Long ago, POKENAME were sealed away for the deadly toxins they create, ones which can easily destroy crops and other plant life. It is rumoured that POKENAME eat raw garbage in large abundance, though it has never been documented.

Mimileo #373.560
POKENAME wander around to collect waterproof fabrics to add to their rag. In glacial environments, POKENAME are known to steal these fabrics from explorers in the dead of the night, salvaging anything from tents to sleeping bags.

Haunadier #93.486
POKENAME will stalk someone that has wronged them, causing mischief around their target until they grow bored. If POKENAME are angered, they will hurl cursed objects that inflict a recurring shuddering sensation that never truly goes away.

So apparently they discovered solid light in Italy? I guess we cant deny solid light entries anymore because science cant just stop sciencing

[pale venture]

They found WHAT

They're gonna turn light into an energy source which makes the world darker, aren't they?

[chilly bloom]

not exactly traditional matter, a supersolid

I wouldn't exactly call it discovered as much as created xd

[hexed fog]

Very upsetting nonetheless

[hollow quartz]

Supersolids are fascinating

Arceus UNecrozma solid light dex entry incoming

(jkjk)

[thin flower]

First submission (s), so any suggestions or corrections welcomed!
(Ready for re-review!)

Jolidos 412.305
POKENAME gathers static electricity in its fur by rustling its arms against itself and its herd. With a swift Headbutt it then discharges the built up static to stun its target.

Jolpardos 412.306
POKENAME generates static electricity as battles and uses it to boost the power its attacks. Due to its affinity for battle, POKENAME have a seemingly endless static charge.

Galvanidos 363.305
POKENAME focus on creating elaborate, electrostatic webs that create a faint glow at night. POKENAME also builds these webs to support its herd, who relies on these webs to trap its targets.

(Ready for re-review!)
Galvanpardos 363.306
With its great strength and presence POKENAME chases down its target with a shocking grasp of its maw, discharging the static built up from the chase. Its herd create electrostatic webs to trap POKENAME’s prey as it chases them into the trap.

Bit late to the party but pretty sure I've used bonking in a few entries that got approved. If not, "whack" is a solid alternative that also still sounds funny.

[final briar]

Is there a channel for keeping an eye on the next Dexslog? It sounds really fun

[rich goblet]

@rugged socket You're still working on making the next DexSlog right? @final briar is interested

[rugged socket]

I sure am! It should be up in a couple of days

[azure wagon]

Unfortunately Jolpardos+Galvadios do not have a sprite created by an artist and cannot receive dex entries until they do. 😔 Galvanidos looks overall good except for a few minor things (see below) so I'd keep it for when they do get sprites or reuse it for another Galvantula fusion.

Any mention of "headbutt" should instead capitalize Headbutt. Pokemon moves should be capitalized.

I don't believe you can reference its pre/post-evolutions of fusions in dex entries(?) FAQ 7: Dex entries should be standalone as much as possible since players may not have read the entries of the other Pokémon in the line
You can get around with saying "others of its kind/herd".
-For Galvanpardos mentioning the previous evolutions makes it go over the character limit so I would rework that second line.

Also a good note is to start with POKENAME in the first sentence and then shift to It/Its in the next sentence (though you can use POKENAME in the 2nd sentence again if you want). So for example Jolidos "ItPOKENAME gathers static [...]"

[rugged socket]

It is allowed to include pre/post evolutions, but the entry shouldn't rely on them to make sense. I think these read fine on their own, though might need an unown

[thin flower]

Thank you @mepp! I appreciate the review and catching my beginner mistakes. For any edits needed to the entry, is it better to make another post or edit the original directly?

[final briar]

Feel free to ping me when you do!

[hollow quartz]

Isn't DexSlog one of the recurring events or am I crazy

[azure wagon]

Overall I think the content is good 👍
Tho Jolpardos can't be submitted due to no artist sprite, I think this one needs some adjusting, currently for me its reading a bit confusing. You mention at first it does not need to rely on gathering static electricity because of its strength but then go saying it gathers static electricity to strengthen its attacks. I'd probably cut out the first mention of static electricity and maybe change the second sentence to be more like "It generates static electricity as battles and uses it to boost the power its attacks."

Again, you are unable to submit this particular entry atm, but you if you can find another Joltik/Galv or Electric Rampardos that fits go for it!

And yea just editing the first post and saying that you've edited them/want another look is good

[azure wagon]

no i don't believe there are any "official" recurring events that are dex-entry centered aside from the Dexdoku WildHeart runs

WaGDtD's Dexslog and my Monthly Dex-prompt event are just user run stuff

[hollow quartz]

naruhodo, I just figured by now it might have been, but as I figured I was prolly remembering/thinking wrong

[pearl pilot]

My bad chat I didn't know there was a channel for Dex entries discussions lol

I'll put it here

​"A Maropardos is the devolution of a Cubone that has been forced to relive the loss of its mother over and over, its mind fracturing and its body swelling into a monstrous size to keep it perpetually traumatized, unable to ever escape the memories of its pain."

[azure wagon]

in the lore of PIF the cubones/marowak mom does not die, I'd read up on the lorebook doc in the pinned messages of this channel

Also there's issues with saying its a Devolution, which cannot happen...again I'd read up on the Lorebook

[hollow quartz]

If I'm remembering right, referring to it as a "Devolution of Cubone" is also an origin issue--ah, yep lol

[azure wagon]

Also it does kinda read something that's too high on the edginess factor, you can say it's highly aggressive and prone to lashing out/raging but i wouldn't give it a "backstory" so to speak

[lethal coral]

hello

[pearl pilot]

How couldn't it happen? What if making cubone/rampardos faint "evolves" devolves cubone into ​a [name of "devolution"]

[pearl pilot]

"No one knows where he got the skull"

but ok then lol

[azure wagon]

because that's not something that happens in game

[storm light]

Devolution as a concept doesnt exist in PIF

[hollow quartz]

That's not how this stuff works, is the point

Not in PIF especially, at the very least

[hollow quartz]

As for the skull...there's many ways to go about explaining where it comes from:
It's an evolutionary result to have a secondary/outer skull for added protection
It wears the remains of its prey
It simply resembles a skull but is made from ice, snow, mud, rock, etc etc
And more, I'm sure

[pearl pilot]

Well then an item that evolves it

Make cubones could have an item that they drop from killing them called will of the marowark or stm

What
