dex-entries-discussion

[rigid finch]

like how some people are stronger than others, more courageous, etc.

[rich goblet]

I'm not sure how to articulate this, but the whole entry is a bit clunky. It feels like its being forced to talk about these traits

[rigid finch]

i was aiming for referencing mario's jobs, it was either that or "oooo pokename hates shuckle oooo"

[rich goblet]

Like the way I would descibe it is "POKENAME are well suited to plumbing. This is because..." Then the list

I get that, I meant the whole traits bit

[midnight siren]

i think that part of the clunkiness comes from the phrasing of surplus of traits. this is a little too vague (it could just mean personality traits or physical traits etc.) so i'd adjust it to something more like wide range of skills

that should help some of the clunkiness

[rigid finch]

ahhhh

i see

something else that's been tickling my brain

how do i edit a google form

[rich goblet]

uhhh, if you are the owner of the google form pretty easily

[midnight siren]

if you've already submitted it, you'll need to make an error report in #custom-dex-errors once you have an updated version

i do have another thing that i think is worth changing - remove the word can from your list of jobs. so instead it looks like this: It uses its strength in wrecking crews, its steadiness in carpentry, and it senses plumbing issues before they get out of hand. just a little thing, it's easier to say that a pokemon does something as opposed to it can do something.

[rigid finch]

thanks

Hoprill #187.183

POKENAME like to float in lakes or ponds on their back. To move around in the water, it rotates its leaves to propel them while they move their arms to change direction.

[rich goblet]

The first sentence is a bit clunky, but can be fixed with the following rephrasing:

POKENAME like to float on their backs in lakes and ponds.

Otherwise? Very whimsical, very demure

[tranquil thunder]

Really? I was mainly concerned about how the second sentence worked.

Still, I can see what you are talking about, so let me get that fixed.

[rich goblet]

Maybe the following would work better: To move around in the water, their leaves move to push them forward, while their arms rotate to change direction.

Also, remember: it/its vs they/them

Don't mix the two

[tranquil thunder]

Gotcha

[rich goblet]

Also note that I didn't use move twice

[tranquil thunder]

If there was any sort of mini hobby that would fix my abhorrent grammar skills, I'm super glad it is making dex entries.

[rich goblet]

I made the mistake of using rotate twice, just fixed it

[rich goblet]

It's pretty cozy here

Anyway, swaping one of the 'moves' with rotate would help cut back on redundancy

[tranquil thunder]

I would use the word spin for the second moves

Would that work?

[storm light]

I'm gonna need to put up a sticky note on my monitor reminding me to double check i have the letter in any alt entries i do

[rich goblet]

If you said 'while they spin their arms to change direction' that would work yes

[thorn ingot]

This is why I use the form button on fusiondex, it automaticall fills out the right filename with the letter

[tranquil thunder]

Meowton #52.82 (For the Deslog: Magneton & Frequent Taverns)

POKENAME will mischievously and magnetically pull away money from unsuspecting travelers. It especially loves to pilfer those who have been knocked out in taverns since they are usually none the wiser.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME has an uncanny appearance that causes many to decry it as evil or cursed. It floats around sadly, hoping to one day find a friend it can hug and hold dear.

[tranquil thunder]

Man, what a tear jerking way to pull off a tails doll ref

Also nice use of an obscure word I had to look up.

[narrow cosmos]

Glad you liked it! Figured it worked a little better than going the usual "evil" way, while paying some service to how often it got interpreted as such.

[tranquil thunder]

Definitely gonna spook someone seeing that sprite for the first time, only to read the dex entry and feel sad.

[rich goblet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r2BobbVF8k

I hope this inspires someone to do a Garbador Pokédex entry, or at least give someone a smile

[storm light]

Someone should make a reference sprite based on it tbh

[storm light]

How bout this?
https://www.fusiondex.org/garbodor+tentacruel/
POKENAME float aimlessly in oceans, adding any trash they find to their body. Cities suffering from large amounts of pollution often deploy POKENAME in their local waterways to clean the trash, leaving them clean and safe to use.

[rich goblet]

I love it, garbcruel definitely would do that

[storm light]

"I get to just live here and not be bothered?"

"Yep, as long as you eat all the trash."

"Oh hell yeah."

[cosmic hornet]

I think there’s a lot of entries about the trubbish line with ocean pokemon

And them just picking up litter and trash

Which makes a lot of sense and I definitely have done a few

[storm light]

What if we had some that intentionally leave trash and pollution around?

[cosmic hornet]

I think that this one is creative

[cosmic hornet]

Something like people will dump their trash near nests for them to eat

It would have to be something weak though

I like that

[rotund oxide]

hii !! ive been submitting some dex entries recently and theyre really fun to write! i am pretty sure im following all the rules - tryna double check everything - but i just wanna make sure theres no glaring mistakes im making throughout all of my dex entries or anything!

oh shoot i submitted it as "incase" instead of "in case". hopefully i can edit that or something bc thats a silly mistake

[thorn ingot]

They’ll fix it when they go check all of them

It’s very minor so it’s fine

[rotund oxide]

thank you! also ive been reading thru the sheets for reference and i really like your dex entries :D

[thorn ingot]

Ayy ty ❤️

[thorn ingot]

You can’t say a Pokemon originates from somewhere, it’s against an FAQ

Not all of them come form that location

[cosmic hornet]

I thought it was against real world locations

[rotund oxide]

OOH okay yeah i was really wondering about that one. ill resubmit it with a different starting sentence! appreciate it!

[thorn ingot]

You can’t reference real world locations but yo can’t give origins as well

Not all of them came from that place

[cosmic hornet]

I guess the real dex entries don’t mention Arcanine or Xatu being from China/South America

Well it does for Mew but that’s different

[rotund oxide]

is saying "they prefer living in Chargestone Cave" okay? or should i just say "they prefer magnetic caves" or something along those lines

[cosmic hornet]

But they change them now day to being The East or whatever else

[thorn ingot]

Even if real dex entries did it’s against faq here

[cosmic hornet]

I’d say magnetic fields

Because that’s what chargestone cave is

[thorn ingot]

Magnetic caves definitely

There are more than one magnetic cave

[rotund oxide]

okay sounds great! should i just resubmit it with the edited entry? or do i need to ask an unown beforehand?

[thorn ingot]

On the third entry, the beginning “The” is not needed. I know we can make up new words, but it would be much better if the second sentence was reworded to “In actuality, its big eyes are always scanning around looking for shiny objects.” or something similar to that

The last dex entry also sounds way too specific and not applicable to the whole species.

Dex entries have to be applicable to the whole species, not just an individual member

[rotund oxide]

thank you so much for the feedback !! ill edit my entries and resubmit them! learning this early on is way better than realizing it way later, so i really appreciate the help! 💕

[thorn ingot]

I’m gonna go to bed now, but definitely ask an Unown on more feedback since there’s definitely more that can be said.

[willow venture]

I have found a new hack to write Dex entries

Just write them from the FusionDex link lmao

[pale venture]

Explain

[tiny charm]

think-thunked an entry for a random fusion I found while scrolling through the dex™

Klefno
POKENAME's are collectors of memories, and regularly lock away the cherished thoughts of those they hypnotize, placing them in an endless reverie.

[pale venture]

That's a cool af sprite

Nice find

[tiny charm]

Klefki sprites in general go so hard imo

[willow venture]

Oh by new hack I mean just a new way to motivate myself to write them

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/22.22a/

You go to the link and then write your own dex entry from that link @pale venture

[pale venture]

What do you mean "From that link"

Sorry I'm not understanding

[willow venture]

They give you the link right away to write the new dex entry which is cool

[pale venture]

Oh right

That's also in #downloads but ye that works lol

Oh wait it autofills?

That's pretty neat actually

https://tenor.com/bqvpo.gif

[small nest]

@narrow cosmos Sorting through some of your Porygon entries and I'm having a blast. These are creative and fun, keep up the good work!

I really like how you've interpreted the traits of each head through the lens of computer programs, like Clefairy using devices' art programs to draw the new moon

On the note of Porygon entries, I think this one is missing a word:
POKENAME flock to bright lights at night and often find themselves staring through windows to observe computer screens. If a person allows them to access the device, they will try to be helpful by any viruses that are in the system.
@rich goblet, what do they do to the viruses?

Both of you did excellently with these entries, I'm enjoying sorting through them!

[willow venture]

Joost do you do reviews of people's entries daily

[small nest]

We're usually working through a backlog, so it can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks for entries to be approved. We currently have 8 active Unowns, but not all of us work on the sheet often and not all of us work at the same pace.

For context, we got 164 new entries today. The entries I was checking today were entered on February 24 or so.

But of course, if you want feedback on an entry before submitting, you can tag any one of us in this channel! I'll usually be able to respond to a ping within a few hours.

[willow venture]

Oh no I'm just curious is all lol

I'm trying out a new method where instead of writing out entries I would submit I already submit entries through the FusionDex link (it helps away my procrastination habits lmao)

[pale venture]

164???

How do you function

[willow venture]

People be writing

[neon cape]

skibid

[rich goblet]

Eating any viruses

[thorn ingot]

Yummy virus

[austere zinc]

POKENAME can often be seen surfing up and down popular tourist beaches. They've been known to swear allegiance to children's sand castles and defend them to the death.

Trash dumping in protected nature preserves lead to increased sightings of POKENAME. On more than one occasion, they've made their way back to their litterbug owners.

Parents make it a point to warn their children to stay away from POKENAME regardless of the treats they might offer them. No one has ever seen what's behind their mask.

The jaws of POKENAME are strong enough to puncture a car door. A single bark from this Pokémon can shatter windows and leave your ears ringing.

POKENAME swim lightning-fast to catch their prey. They have been known to bite fishing lines to give fisherman a shock.

Im going back and adding dex entries for all the sprites I made. Here's the first batch, thoughts?

[rich goblet]

This is not allowed as fusions must always be a combination of two living Pokémon.

[rich goblet]

This one lacks dex tone from the first sentence, as pokedex entries are generally meant to be encylopedic

[rich goblet]

The first sentence is incomplete, and the second sentence does not the 'on purpose'. Also needs to be fishermen to avoid referring to one instance of a Pokémon

[narrow cosmos]

Was half-asleep earlier and could only really think to respond with emotes, but thanks a bunch! Was fun to try and think up computer gimmicks for a lot of 'em given I'm not tech-savvy so everything is just under nebulous "code" and "cyberspace" rules, but it's anime, cyberspace is whatever we want it to be.

Admittedly, Porygon heads are giving me a lot more trouble for one reason or another, especially if I don't want to just rehash the ideas the reverse of the fusions did. Porygon's blocky look is really messing with my imagination on trying to figure out ideas for it.

[small nest]

I'm really enjoying imagining the average PIF citizen's experience using a computer. Having to try to memorize each potential Porygon fusion and remember whether they're helpful or harmful

Collecting Happiny/Porygon's egg tokens and freezing in terror when a Tauros/Porygon appears on the screen to charge at your data

[narrow cosmos]

Not to mention the ones that can just appear on any electronic, not just your computer. Getting jumpscared when you take out your cellphone and Porygon/Shedinja is just staring at you. Or Darkrai/Porygon makes you fall unconscious right then.

[keen kestrel]

Rotom gets indigestion bc there are porygons in his phone…

Rotom phone barfing out a porygon would have been a legendary anime moment lol, if only porygon was still allowed to appear properly in the anime

[regal cedar]

i was going to do a porygon chansey fusion but the sprite is

https://www.fusiondex.org/porygon+chansey/

the funnier part is that it evolves into this

https://www.fusiondex.org/porygon2+chansey/

or https://www.fusiondex.org/porygon+blissey/

[keen kestrel]

do joke sprites just not get alted when they are for porygon? lol

[rotund oxide]

It’s extremely territorial, and recognizes others of its kind by their distinct vile scent. When it senses any unknown presence, POKENAME spews a noxious gas so pungent that the stench can reach a 50 mile radius.

[steady plinth]

prudent?

i think pungent was the word you wanted

[rotund oxide]

yes it was !! thank you!

[steady plinth]

👍

[tranquil thunder]

Might just be me but saying "the stench travels out 50 miles." is a bit awkward to read and say.

[rotund oxide]

would “50 miles out” be better? it also sounds kinda awkward imo

[tranquil thunder]

I think making it vague and saying "the stench can reach a 50 mile radius." might work, unless that isn't what you were going for.

[rotund oxide]

updated it! hopefully thats better?

[regal cedar]

They are supposed to, but I don't think there is a way to request that/point it out in errors. (Dex write-ers don't control the sprite #s, either, for note.)

In this case, most of these are all the Pokémon have to begin with.

[rotund oxide]

The slimy membrane surrounding POKENAME is thick and sturdy to accommodate for its constant whirling about. It can stick to walls because of its tacky protection, giving it great maneuverability.

[austere zinc]

Edited all three

[rich goblet]

Sorry, this is a bad time, I’ll ask @regal cedar or @midnight siren to help review your entries, today is a busy day for me

[austere zinc]

No prob 👍

[thorn ingot]

They might be alts they just don’t either have other sprites or are just a letterless filename

[keen kestrel]

I see

[rich goblet]

@thorn ingot You want to help @austere zinc out? I’m busy and cannot look at their entries, they were posted earlier

I trust your judgement to fix major FAQ things

[regal cedar]

Make sure to use POKENAME. Just use 'nature preserves', not Poke-reverse or whatever.
General misspellings, too. I'd run it through a spell check.

[regal cedar]

seems OK

[regal cedar]

Use Pokémon.

[regal cedar]

I'd also probably just redo/do another first sentence.

[regal cedar]

Should be lightning-fast, with a dash.

Should be 'its', not 'it's'.

The plurality switches for no reason: Try switching POKENAME to 'They' or 'It' in your head to see what I mean: The first sentence is using 'it', a single, while the second is referring to multiple.

Therefore, either the second sentence should have "has been known to..." OR the first sentence should be "swim lightning-fast..."

[thorn ingot]

Ah bobo got to them first

I was busy with job

[austere zinc]

Made all your suggested edits 👍

[midnight siren]

I was also busy

[hexed fog]

@true walrus please stop capsing your name when submitting

You too @native knot

[rotund oxide]

this bio is really cute i love imagining a sand castle protector :D

[true walrus]

Mb i thought we were supposed to

Is it all lowercase?

Well i know atleast my submissions are being seen 👀

[thorn ingot]

You’re username will always be the circled

Not your nickname that has all the caps

[hexed fog]

@rotund oxide Please stop writing 'The POKENAME'.

[rotund oxide]

gotcha

[true walrus]

Ah ok, appreciate it for letting me know

[true walrus]

“The pokename” frying me ngl

https://tenor.com/view/coryxkenshin-youtuber-laugh-lol-lmao-gif-17625786

[hexed fog]

@true walrus Due to multiple errors and issues in your entries please post entries here to be reviewed before submitting more.

Just so you can see what we are looking for

[true walrus]

Dang it I don’t remember them, whats the errors?

And also what fusions are the glitched ones

[hexed fog]

there are quite a few grammar issues but also some theming problems. by posting them here you will be able to have everyone help you out 🙂

[true walrus]

Ok ok 👀 but i do also wanna know which fusions of the entries are bugged, i might remember what it typed about them

[true walrus]

I guess i gotta start writing down my dex entries

[tranquil thunder]

I personally save mine and then post them here if I'm not 100% confident about them.

Sometimes I rework my saved entries because I thought of a better one.

[true walrus]

Once i post my entries in the forums, I instantly forget about them and js hope their added

But they never are 😔

[tranquil thunder]

My first two entries got in but I mainly say that getting it peer reviewed is what contributes the most imo

[true walrus]

Alr, for what fusions?

[thorn ingot]

You can look through the sheet to find your previous submissions

[true walrus]

Can you possibly link that? Im not sure where that is

[thorn ingot]

In https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1019208546916761660 it is the HERE link near the bottom

[true walrus]

Couldn’t find any of mines, this is pretty exhausting for me, i’ve been trying to get one of my entries in for a couple of weeks now so im just gonna write them down and resubmit all of em’

[willow venture]

You do what I do

And just write em

Through the FusionDex link

Check this out

https://www.fusiondex.org/ekans+frogadier/

You go to that link and you'll see the "if you want to help you can write a custom entry here!" and it'll give you an autofilled form and all you need to do is just write

[storm light]

Bellrai #182.347
POKENAME's flowers bloom during nights with a new moon. These flowers produce soporific pollen that easily floats along the wind and causes those affected by it to experience vivid lucid dreams.

[tranquil thunder]

Not a full moon?

[storm light]

Cresselia is Full moon, Darkrai is New moon

[pale venture]

Go to the excel sheet they linked, and them go to the left most tab(?) at the bottom. It should be a giant list of entries both accepted and rejected.

You can find your entries via CTRL + F, and the reason it was rejected will be on the right most filled column

[mellow quail]

Cofareon #362.197c
POKENAME hates being a Ghost-type. It spends all of its time digging with its many arms, searching for a stone that will turn it back into an Eevee. It refuses to accept no such stone exists.

[tranquil thunder]

Using a ton of it/its. Makes sense for the second sentence, but maybe use POKENAME for the last one.
Still, a very slick dex entry with a very intriguing story.

[iron mango]

Okay so.

POKENAME are creatures that like to stay in the background, waving at you with a smile on its face. It is said that they really like it if you wave back.

for 233.219a

[tranquil thunder]

Funny gag entry, but way too short to be qualified as an entry.

[iron mango]

well damn

[iron mango]

Ill edit it

done

[willow venture]

Today might've been the most productive I've ever been writing up dex entries

20 entries!!!!!

I'm gonna try making it up to 30-40 today

[iron mango]

today is gonna be the day that I am coming back down to you

[willow venture]

by now you should've somehow realized what you can't do

[hexed fog]

Be sure that both pokemon are included

[iron mango]

Okay wait

[iron mango]

I dont believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

[willow venture]

word's on the street that the fire in your heart is out

[cosmic hornet]

wonderwall or smth

Its indestructible armor cannot be damaged in any way. Long after it dies, POKENAME's armor will still stand proud on the peak of its mountain.

any suggestions for this?

the first sentence is kind of redundant with indestructible

[willow venture]

POKENAME is an indestructible force incapable of being damaged in any way. Long after it dies, its armor still stand proud atop its mountain peak.

How about that?

[cosmic hornet]

I like it

Ill still workshop it

[rotund oxide]

could you mention a weakness? like say the blue belly is basically its achilles heel?

ie. “POKENAME’s indestructible armor cannot be damaged by even the most devastating attack, but a blow to its tender blue belly will send it reeling.”

a bit rushed so can be polished up

[cosmic hornet]

I mean ttar's dex is even more "this thing is indestructable"

[rotund oxide]

thats true, just an idea!

[cosmic hornet]

Im not disagreeing

I think its just in the context of that evo line that their colorful scales are weaker

And Pupitar, who has no gap in its armor, cannot be crit

less evidence than I remember but oh well

[rotund oxide]

ooh okay, maybe say then something among the lines of “its protected its only weakness - its green scales - with indestructible metal”?

also rushed again but just the idea

[soft flicker]

Dexslog Doublade & Gems/Money
Carbink/Doublade
POKENAME live their entire lives in deep cave systems, mining for precious stones to decorate their bodies with. There are records of POKENAME-made mines the size of Nimbasa City, housing more than 200 POKENAME and other Pokémon.

I have so many thoughts for this fusion! but the mean 250 character limit
I imagine that the oldest individuals are entirely covered in previous stones, some even being so heavy that it's hard to float.
Their natural enemy are Sableye-fusions, eating away at their decorations.
The mines of this Pokémon can become at large as human city's, as the Pokémon expand to find more jewels. They abandon the mines if they belive that there is nothing to find anymore. Many Pokémon who live underground like to reside these abandoned mines.

Anyway what do we think of the entry

[cosmic hornet]

why Nimbasa specifically?

I think the entry itself could be streamlined but it has good tone and lore

[soft flicker]

One of the biggest Cities (in population at least). Could have chosen Lumiose too

[keen kestrel]

You could remove the word “underground” since deep cave systems makes that pretty clear

Especially if there is other info you want to squeeze in

[iron mango]

Okay so.

POKENAME are manmade pokémon that are created to keep a distant and wave at trainers that pass by. You can wave back, however do not approach as its body is 18000 degrees Fahrenheit.

[icy shoal]

I like this

[tranquil thunder]

Same here

Zulix #41.491

To bait its prey, POKENAME will tuck its wings and ears and close its mouth to look like cotton candy. When a sweet-toothed victim gets close, POKENAME will strike them with its sharp fangs.

Golix #42.491

Anything that tries to touch POKENAME’s cotton candy body will immediately get bitten by it. Those who have been able to get a taste say that the cotton candy has a sour blue-raspberry flavor.

[cosmic hornet]

Change one of the POKENAMEs in Golix’s first sentence to ‘it’

[willow venture]

Writing an entry for this one, but this one is not really one I need thoughts for, this is for context on what I wrote next

Made of interlocking gears resembling crescent moons, POKENAME is often used by observatories and space research centers because its rotation is determined by the phases of the moon. It only stops its movement during an eclipse.```

Is it fine if for this Pokemon I explicitly stated its an evolution or its gear growing bigger is because it evolves (through some method or what have you)? Example entry.

As it continues to rotate, one of POKENAME's gear becomes imbued with lunar energy, causing it to grow bigger. It is now used as a signifier of lunar events, each subtle rotation or blinking of its eye meaning many different things when observing the moon.```

[tranquil thunder]

I don't see a problem myself but best to check in with those with more experience than me.

[willow venture]

I think the phrasing is just bad so I'm probably gonna keep cooking that one until I found smth

But I think the intent comes across right lol

[tranquil thunder]

I think as long as you avoid relying on the previous entry too much, you should be fine.

[cosmic hornet]

I’d just send it

These two from me have a similar thing

[willow venture]

Rephrasing what I wrote
Due to constant rotation, one of POKENAME's gears absorbs lunar energy and expands. Every minute shift in its rotation, along with the blinking of its eye, signals a specific lunar occurrence.

[cosmic hornet]

My personal rule regarding evolving from a previous form is it kind of has to make sense from a level up/game play perspective

Like a hydreigon/butterfree fusion for example, is probably evolving from Butterfree/Zweilous

Err other way around but you get it

[cosmic hornet]

Rephrasing what I wrote
Due to constant rotation, one of POKENAME's gears absorbs lunar energy and expands. Every minute shift in its rotation and blink of its eye signals a specific lunar occurrence.

I think this sounds more natural

[willow venture]

Ah damn I already submitted it lol but I think it's fine

[cosmic hornet]

Agree

[willow venture]

Now to write the final one (Cress and Klinklang)

[storm light]

You know, while I would never try it myself nor suggest anyone should, I wonder what battery acid actually tastes like

[cosmic hornet]

Acidic

I’m guessing

[storm light]

Most likely

But wha if it tasted like chicken? /lh

[soft flicker]

I would imagine very bitter

[cosmic hornet]

I googled it

It said sour and bitter

Metallic

[storm light]

So someone had to have tasted it before tf

[soft flicker]

Like don't do it but battery acid should taste the same as a spilled/broke battery

[tranquil thunder]

Someone should make a Magnemite Swirlix fusion and mention it's taste.

[cosmic hornet]

Thanks Reddit

[iron mango]

They are playing wonderwall at my work rn

[storm light]

Oh god, a Meloetta Aria fusion that is essentially our rl version of "Anyway, here's Wonderwall."

[iron mango]

@hexed fog is it good now?

[willow venture]

Alright, here's what I got

Translucent, planet-like rings now surround the machine, its rotations as erratic as a celestial body. It is said that spotting it hovering in the night sky, trailing the moon like an attendant star, guarantees a night of serene and peaceful dreams.```

[cosmic hornet]

I think the center of the second sentence could be cut

It’s really good it just doesn’t flow

[tranquil thunder]

Yeah, then we would bellow minimum text

[storm light]

Tbh it might be a good idea to remove the "now" in the first sentence as it could be seen as a reference to an earlier entry, which players may or may not have seen

[cosmic hornet]

Well there’s embellishments to be made

You could make it an active sentence

[tranquil thunder]

Yeah, I would say cutting parts of it would work. It is a bit bulky.

[willow venture]

Let me see if I can cut it down well

Translucent, planet-like rings surround the machine, its rotations as erratic as a celestial body. It is said that spotting it hovering in the night sky guarantees a night of serene and peaceful dreams.```

[iron mango]

Beatdoof used Cut

[willow venture]

Pretty good?

[cosmic hornet]

I’m going to take a crack at it

[iron mango]

Bulbasaur

[cosmic hornet]

Translucent, planet-like rings surround POKENAME’s gears, rotating on an erratic axis. Stargazers spotting it hovering in the night sky are guaranteed a night of serene and peaceful dreams.```

I didn’t count characters how’s that

Celestial bodies typically have a stable rotation

Often when they don’t they cease being celestial bodies

[willow venture]

I got it

Translucent, planet-like rings surround POKENAME's gears, its rotations as erratic as a rogue celestial body. It is said that spotting it hovering in the night sky guarantees a night of serene and peaceful dreams.```

I also realized I forgot the POKENAME lmao

I kept writing it as 'machine' the whole time I got carried away

[cosmic hornet]

Yeah that’s an easy way to get in more characters

[willow venture]

Well I'm submitting it

[cosmic hornet]

Kk

[willow venture]

DAMMIT I FORGOT TO ERASE THE CRESS/KLANG part

Fuck it I'm reposting it again might as well

I did a Cress fusion

Time to seek out a funny Darkrai to contrast this majestic being

[tranquil thunder]

You can always just mention that in custom dex errors

[cosmic hornet]

Once I just submitted two back to back and hoped

[iron mango]

Asking for feedback again, I cant immediatly respond but still

Would be nice please

[cosmic hornet]

It’s ditto/magcargo

?

[iron mango]

Porygon2/magcargo

[rich goblet]

Fusions are always made out of two Pokémon, so calling it manmade doesn't really make sense

The phrase is "Keep a distance" not "keep a distnant"

Do not use 'you' in entries the pokedex does not refer to the person reading

[cosmic hornet]

Replace manmade with synthetic

It means the same thing but it’s a bigger word so maybe they won’t notice

[iron mango]

That ruins the fact hes animated tho :(

But okay Ill do it

[rich goblet]

Some of the rules I don't agree with, but these rules have been decreed upon by the great frog in the sky

[iron mango]

This one?

[rich goblet]

I have no idea how what I just said and that image are connected

[iron mango]

Chardub is frog

[rich goblet]

Frog as in the developer of the game

[iron mango]

Yes

[hollow nimbus]

The "you" thing is actually a misconception a few Unown have had

It comes from the fact that entries cannot say what the character does

Entries that narrate the player character's actions use the word "you", so it's easy to get that confused

[rich goblet]

Oh right

[storm light]

I have a couple entries that use 'you' but I think because they read more like warnings, then it was okay

[hollow nimbus]

You reach inside the mouth and grab a gem. - ❌ Entries should not control the player.
If you were to reach inside, you could grab a gem. - ✅ This is acceptable as long as the tone of a field guide is maintained

[iron mango]

But in the case of what I said?

[rich goblet]

#dex-entries-discussion message

That is the entry we're looking at

[hollow nimbus]

That's fine, because it's just giving instruction

[rich goblet]

Oh cool

[hollow nimbus]

You need a comma after however

Also a comma after approach

The temperature is problematic, though
I haven't gotten to publish any official material for it, but Frog contacted us and said that the excessive temperatures of Game Freak's entries need to be corrected in PIF entries

[willow venture]

Yeah you look funny enough

Residing beneath rotting landfills and active oil wells, POKENAME emerges only during the dark of a new moon. It desperately absorbs the surrounding pollution in a futile attempt to clean its home, unaware that it will never stop accumulating.```

```Darkrai/Garbodor
Now completely fused with toxic waste and filthy oil, POKENAME is driven by a single-minded obsession to cleanse. Heralded by the dark of the new moon, its definition of 'garbage' no longer stops at literal trash.```

[hollow nimbus]

@hexed fog, what would you say is the upper limit for temperatures in entries?

[rich goblet]

I'm pretty sure that Pokemon cannot directly fuse with toxic waste, but I'll let @hollow nimbus decide on that.

Otherwise I think its okay

[hollow nimbus]

Since the dark is the dark aspect of the new moon rather than just dark in general, I would say the darkness of a new moon.

Pokémon fusions are only between two pokemon

[willow venture]

I would assume it could I mean it is a Poison type lol

[hollow nimbus]

Despite what that one weird npc says, you can't use DNA Splicers on objects like chalk and swiss cheese

[willow venture]

That's fair how do I make it come across it fuses with those things but also Darkrai

Hmmmmmmm

[hollow nimbus]

My suggestion would be to change Now completely fused with toxic waste and filthy oil to Being saturated with toxic waste and filthy oil
It still gives your meaning without bringing fusion mechanics into it

[willow venture]

That one works!

[hollow nimbus]

Saturated is such a fun word

[willow venture]

https://tenor.com/view/wesker-uroboros-resident-evil-gif-10652152775226920974

Wesker ass word

[hollow nimbus]

I do have a few things planned for a lorebook update in the future, but first I have to actually write them

[iron mango]

Magcargo is pretty consistent in being the same temp

[storm light]

Worldbuilding and lore my absolute beloved

[hollow nimbus]

My beautiful notes

[hollow nimbus]

Frog axed the insane temperatures, sorry

[storm light]

Damn, there go all my entries of Clefairy on the moon

[hollow nimbus]

Clefairy can be said to be from a distant planet or rumored to be from the moon

But if there was an ecosystem on the moon, everyone would already know about it

[iron mango]

I will just say really fuckin' hot or smt

[hollow nimbus]

Please don't use those exact words

[iron mango]

Leave out the swearing

[willow venture]

What's the biggest temperature one can be at before it becomes Magcargo levels of nonsense

[hollow nimbus]

I pinged Izik somewhere up above
We'll get an answer when he has time

[storm light]

You could say it rival some of the hottest summer days or even the heart of a volcano. Just somehting more believeable while still being in line with lore

[hollow nimbus]

In the mean time, I would say that if you want a high temperature, look to see what kilns or house fires burn at

[willow venture]

But what if its really hot

Without being sun-levels of hot tho

[rich goblet]

I'm mildly concerned about the third line

[hollow nimbus]

It can't be so hot that the player instantly dies by using the Pokémon

[storm light]

I've seen an entry or two related to it so it checks out

specifically those entries were denied

[rich goblet]

Oh god

[hollow nimbus]

You see, we knew ahead of time that nsfw would include gore and promiscuity
Eventually an entry brought to our intention that causing intentional prolonged suffering would also probably not be appropriate content for an entry

Live and learn
Now we know

[rich goblet]

I mean it'd happen eventually but I didn't expect it to be this soon

[storm light]

Give people creative freedom and they will run with it, sometimes in directions you don't really want

[hollow nimbus]

To be honest, I'm surprised it took this long with how edgy some entries are

Let's have some entries for fusion species that smell nice

[storm light]

This is my Giratales, they are the strongest Pokemon in existance, even arceus bows to its might. it exists only because it wants to

[iron mango]

This pokemon smell like roses

[rich goblet]

I live inside comfort, I will produce 100 entries with seeds before I manage 1 edgy entry

[hollow nimbus]

That's not an entry

[iron mango]

Yes it is

It roserade

[hollow nimbus]

Entries have a minimum character count requirement

[iron mango]

Oh

[willow venture]

Ooooooh actually tho

I should do some Girafarig gaming

[iron mango]

This pokemon smell really good, often being compare to roses. Roses niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

[willow venture]

The funny two headed giraffe needs more love

[willow venture]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-nooice-bling-key-and-peele-gif-4294979

[storm light]

You know, I was looking at my entries to see if any would qualify as edgy, but I think the only ones that might are edgy in a more documentary sense

[rich goblet]

Girafarig is not real and no one can tell me otherwise

[storm light]

I mean

it isnt

[rich goblet]

Exactly

[hollow nimbus]

Girafarig is not real
Pokémon are fiction

[storm light]

but it exists in my heart

[hexed fog]

I'll get back to you lol

[hexed fog]

Absolutely not

No origins please

[rich goblet]

Yeah we are supposed to keep the origins vague I forgot about that

Gotta keep it a secret to everyone

[iron mango]

Only Victoria know

[hollow quartz]

that's a gif of klinklang though

[rich goblet]

I can't believe myself

[iron mango]

I think we spoiler gen 10

[rich goblet]

Shoot you're right

[hollow quartz]

smh ducky

[rich goblet]

[willow venture]

Distortion World is canon to us right

Would it be canon in Pokedex entries too

[thorn ingot]

I can confirm based on my own entries that the distortion world exists

[regal cedar]

Castform/Zubat

Several scientists have fused Castform, whose body adapts to the weather, with Zubat, who grows ill in sunlight, all in order to test how varying conditions regarding the time of day and weather may affect the cells of either species of Pokémon.

Tried rewriting this a few times, hard to make it under the word limit, unsure if it's even worth using.

[willow venture]

Advisory warning: it's gonna be really edgy

A dweller of the Distortion World resembling Girafarig, POKENAME's two heads are united in thoughts, behavior, and goals. All of them only for one thing: death and decay.```

[cosmic hornet]

I saw that fusion and I wanted to make an entry but I couldn’t think of anything

You use ‘all’ to refer to two things

It should be both

And it’s just kind of edgy

I think there’s a way to make it foreboding and edgy without

https://tenor.com/view/travsnow-gif-25011916

[tranquil thunder]

I think leaning into the death and decay more would make it more horrific

[cosmic hornet]

POKENAME is a dweller of the Distortion World resembling Girafarig. POKENAME's two feuding heads are united by a singular goals: death and decay.```

Too short

But I think it’s cleaner

[willow venture]

That works out for me let me see if I can make it a bit longer

[regal cedar]

Hi @sick yacht , in the future, please make sure to use "Pokémon" in your entries, instead of anything lacking capitalization or the é.

[willow venture]

Native to the Distortion World, this Girafarig-like Pokemon is more synhcronized in thoughts, both heads driven by a singular, unified purpose: spreading death and decay.```

[rich goblet]

POKENAME are under intense study by scientists for their unique weather-oriented shapeshifting and their vulnerability to sunlight. Their cellular structures react differently depending on the time of day and weather.

That at least condenses it down a bit, I don't think you need to mention the Pokémon directly, just mention what comes from the composite Pokémon

[cosmic hornet]

Yeah

I think that’s fine

[regal cedar]

Definitetly not being described as a Fusion and the reasoning behind the Pokémon's 'purpose' seems vague, atypical. It would likely be denied.

[willow venture]

That's valid

I'll try cooking something else up if its denied I suppose lol

I do have the other side of it though, that one I love writing more cuz of the sprite being so well

Despite its menacing, six-legged stature, POKENAME is actually a gentle herbivore. Driven by a voracious appetite to feed the head on its tail, it lumbers around peacefully, only occasionally stomping a hole in reality with its heavy footfalls.```

[cosmic hornet]

When it emerges from the Distortion World, POKENAME’s two heads proliferate chaos in different ways. Its front head uses powerful telepathy to drive people to madness, while its rear head lashes out at anything it can reach.

FAQ 22 and whatever but it is Girafarig

[soft flicker]

Hhmmm I'm looking at the two sprites and am wondering if the Giratina Darkness effects (see: wings and spikes) need outlines? Because they both don't have any

(And maybe need to be reported)

[soft flicker]

I adore the tiny Giratina head on the tail

[hollow nimbus]

Giratina's shadows don't need outline
They're counted as effects

No outlines

(Not that Game Freak is the perfect example of peak spriting, but this is a pretty notably intentional difference)

[iron mango]

Wow what a peak spriting

[keen kestrel]

Yeah, like you wouldn’t put outlines on gastly’s gas

[cosmic hornet]

The harder-than-diamond gem on its head is actually a third eye. When it’s charging with its head down, POKENAME can still see where it’s going.

I think this can be embellished with wording or extra lore but im not quite sure what

[rich goblet]

I feel like the word order could’ve better, like as follows:

When POKENAME is charging with its head down, it can still see where it is going. This is because the gem on its head is its third eye, which is harder than diamond.

[rich goblet]

18.198.png

POKENAME have developed smaller wings over time to give them more maneuverability to avoid cars. They often spend time around bodegas and cafes hoping to solicit a sweet treat from a generous Trainer.

Not looking for feedback (I just submitted it) but figure I'd share because I like it

[cosmic hornet]

Bird

[tranquil thunder]

Warco #8.204

POKENAME will usually be found going down rivers and even waterfalls. It is rare to see POKENAME hanging on trees since they are very eager to ride the river.

And for the inverse...

Pinetortle #204.8

Although POKENAME’s shell makes it hard for it to swim efficiently, its shell is effective at stopping waves from doing major damage. Smaller Pokémon that reside on the beach hide behind POKENAME when the waves start to get intense.

[lunar zealot]

well time to try doing another entry

POKENAME carries itself with unusual pride for such a small Pokémon. When it sprints while wrapped in crackling plasma, its poor manners and heavy body often lead to unintended destruction.

now its evo 😄

POKENAME forms when a Rorunt gathers enough abandoned devices and binds them together with plasma. Once complete, it behaves like a ruthless ruler, driving away anything that enters its domain.

[rich goblet]

@lunar zealot No errors found on my end, also happy about the creative language

[small nest]

Hi @heavy flower, please make sure that your entries are at least 100 characters long! Feel free to ask for help if you can't think of anything else to put!

[tranquil thunder]

Jumpoom #189.44

The cotton on POKENAME’s head can stick to all types of cloth and many other materials. However, nobody uses POKENAME’s cotton since it is highly corrosive to living tissue.

[clever plume]

i was thinking of making a bastiodon self fusion entry, i would like to mention how it's more aggressive than the normal bastiodon, but I am confused on how to do so considering they share the same name. any advice?

[storm light]

You use POKENAME for the fusion and Bastiodon for the unfused version. They may be the same name, sure, but if naming conventions ever changed in the future, then POKENAME would be immediately updated to match

[clever plume]

alright ill do that then :)

was just a bit worried it'd get confusing which one i was talking about

[storm light]

Though to make the distiction, you can say "POKENAME are more aggressive than unfused Bastiodon." Or something similar

[clever plume]

yes yes ill do that!!

ty

[final bison]

dang, i missed this
sorry for the ultra-late reply xDD
just wanna say that i'm in love with your sprites, i find you an amazing artist, so it is a honor for me to provide them with a description. You really made my day Cynder ❤️

[main mulch]

No problem whatsoever!! I'm sorry I didn't know your name to tag you, but it really made my day to see your work too <3

[final bison]

well, now you know it, eheh

[keen kestrel]

Maybe instead of saying pokename you could also say “this pokemon”

Or i guess “this fusion”

[pure dagger]

Good afternoon everyone, how are you? Could someone tell me if the Unova Region generation will be in the game? 😊

[hollow nimbus]

No, only Hoenn is going to be in Pokémon Infinite Fusion: Hoenn

We're not adding other large landmasses

Hey...
This isn't #pif-hoenn-discussion

I really thought it was because of that question

[thorn ingot]

It’s #pif-hoenn-discussion in a trenchcoat

[hollow nimbus]

You can mention Unova in the fusion Pokédex entries you write

[thorn ingot]

Yeah I’ve mentioned Paldea before

[hollow nimbus]

However, the player won't ever visit Unova outside of the side quest that takes them to the P2 Laboratory

[thorn ingot]

So technically we already have Unova in PIF

So idk why people keep asking for it

[keen kestrel]

FAQ about what pokemon are currently in the game are here. It is unknown what other Pokemon might get added in the future #fusion-faq message

[thorn ingot]

I don’t remember a Pokemon named Unova before

[pure dagger]

Yes, but I mean having Pokémon from Unova, you know?
Tepig and others like that.
I could also help make sprites for Hoenn if you want.

[storm light]

This isn't the channel for that unfortunately. This channel is for discussing making dex entries for Pokemon currently in PIF

[pure dagger]

Ok

Thanks

[hollow nimbus]

You can get a full list of the Pokémon that are in/planned to be in PIF here: https://www.fusiondex.org/

There are some Pokémon from gen 5, but not all of them

[ebon warren]

||Had Scarlet and Violet DLC flashbacks there for a second ||

[thorny crescent]

Not with AI you won't, btw

[cosmic hornet]

POKENAME can lie flat on walls, floors, and ceilings. Opening it up reveals a dark, cold hallway that takes 5.5 minutes to traverse. It takes something from those who go in, but no one knows quite what.

[hexed fog]

"Some say it takes"
Since we are stating it as fact we should be able to prove it or know what it is. If we dont know what it is we cant prove it

[cosmic hornet]

Well clearly there is something in the door that the dog is staring at. Why didn’t the painter just draw a scary monster like Frankenstein or Dracula?

[hexed fog]

Oh god it's one of those things

[willow venture]

Another productive day for me

I might have accidentally put a repeat, but discounting that there's about 21 entries I did today wooo!!!

I really hope all of them are accepted lmao I wrote so much this week (lotta creative surge somehow) and eventually I'll crawl my way to at least top 40 dex writers

Very proud of my sudden creative burst

[pure dagger]

Where AI?

[potent ferry]

The aroma it wafts during morning training attracts plenty of sparring partners for this studious fighter.

This entry is for Forogue (combination of Fomantis and Tyrogue).

[storm light]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/476.236/

This entry could use a bit more information! Here's a couple questions to help with inspiration for it:

• Do they have a specific way of fighting?
• Are they more energized in the daytime?
• Do they benefit humans in some way with what they do or what can be made with their materials?

[potent ferry]

During the day POKENAME rests, storing energy to prepare for the night. After dark, it wafts a sweet aroma to lure in unsuspecting sparring partners. Each punch spreads the scent, attracting more foes.

[tranquil thunder]

Abdude #63.74

POKENAME will use geokinesis to slowly deform large stones into fists that it can wield. This process is constant and even happens while POKENAME sleeps.

[ebon warren]

I don't think the use of deform here is correct, since it's actually forming the rocks into fists

[ebon warren]

Often the insane possibilities of the human imagination are worse than anything you can paint. So leaving it up to the viewer will most likely make it scarier then actually painting something concrete

[tranquil thunder]

The deforming part is them getting two large stones into two fists.
Then again, I like the idea of them gathering stones to form them into fists better.

Would this work better for its first line?
POKENAME will use geokinesis to slowly form several rocks into fists that it can wield.

[ebon warren]

Yes that definitely reads better. Just for clarity I would personally write it for it to wield but that's not necessary.

I'd also update the tense in the first sentence to match the second. Instead of future (will use) you can just say uses and then it all flows together really well

[tranquil thunder]

Trying to figure out if Honrill is floating on it's cloth tail or if the cloth is grounded.

[thorn ingot]

Seems like it’s standing on the cloth tail and the cloth tail is floating

[tranquil thunder]

Yeah, that was what I was wondering. Thx.

[tranquil thunder]

Okay, so here is the dex entry I would write using that information.

The cloth tail of POKENAME is strong enough to carry it, although not by much. POKENAME will walk on its own, but you can usually see POKENAME resting on its cloth tail.

[thorny crescent]

The House of Leaves sprite

[rough kraken]

Can i put pokemon pictures with my pokedex entries here? Or is ot only in submission?

[thorn ingot]

You just input the file name on the form when you submit but you can share the sprite here if sharing over here

[ebon warren]

I'm not sure I follow your question, was this intended for this thread?

[brazen crown]

that is a great entry, you should submit it

[willow venture]

Can a Pokemon have a language

Or rather could they have like an innate language they use to communicate

Let's say

I'm writing a Pokemon that can communicate what it sees will happen in 5 minutes (precognition stuff) and it uses something that allows it to write what it sees right now

Can I just keep it vague like "it will write what it sees, yap yap yap etc"

[potent ferry]

Thanks, it was submitted.

[willow venture]

I'm gonna say this pokemon writes in Unown script for now (that works I assumed)

[hollow nimbus]

From the lorebook:

In general, Pokémon should only be capable of a language if at least one of the component Pokémon in the fusion would normally have that ability

[willow venture]

So what you're saying is as long as I keep it vague a Pokemon can like

Write

Whether or not people understand it is another matter entirely

[potent ferry]

If the mon has precognition then I imagine it's a psychic type? What is the fusion?

[willow venture]

I eventually wrote the entry in first but it was Braixen/Diancie

[keen kestrel]

I guess there are some pokemon that leave markings to communicate

Like grafaiai and maybe smeargle i forget

[final bison]

Hello dear Unowns, sorry, I just wanted to let you know that while I was sending the description for the entry "486.131.png", I made a mistake when copying and pasting the text and included the entry number in addition to the description text.

please let me know if you prefer to reject the entry ( i can resend it correctly ) or if you can forgive me for my sin

[hollow quartz]

I am pretty sure that counts as a small enough error that they can fix it without even needing to file an error report, as it turns out.

[final bison]

guess you're right, but but I thought it was right to point it out ❤️

[hollow quartz]

Yeah, I get it, just pretty sure it's not really a big sin so much as a small error is all.

[rich goblet]

Our local unown Izik hates edgy entries much more than an error like this

It’s like a drop in the bucket

[final bison]

yeah, i'm totally aware about Izik tastes xDD ( i lurk a lot in the darkness 👀 )

thank you guys, btw

[pale venture]

So.. more edgy entries, got it

[rich goblet]

Am I crazy or was there no March calendar

I was doing them but I normally don’t share with the class and now I feel paranoid

[storm light]

I don't think there was

@azure wagon Did u ever post a march calender?

[ebon warren]

I would characterize this as a very far stretch as well, you'd be safer making it a vague written language, but only if the base Pokémon (one or both) clearly has that ability in the lore.
The Unown language is shown in human archaeological sites but nowhere is it referenced that Pokémon used that written language. So that would be a lore break to claim it as fact

[azure wagon]

I did not, been busy+having a bit of a creative block but I do plan one for april once im back in the swing of things!

[storm light]

Fair enough! Keep safe

[rich goblet]

I hope the month treats you well then, wish you all the best

[regal cedar]

Darn, I can think of a lot of Corphish entries, but they all involve Pokémon that it doesn't have a sprite with yet.

It's hardy and can be found in many places, so Pokémon like Rattata and Eevee and Zubat would be a good fit for it, lore-wise, I think.

[rough kraken]

I had a idea for a dex entry

[ebon warren]

Ok then yes, this is the right spot, and you can add images to this thread, but the entry itself won't include images at all.
If you're asking for feedback in here, posting the actual sprite for which you are writing the entry is helpful, especially if the entry ties into the design of the sprite in any way (although just seeing which two Pokémon are fused is also incredibly helpful).

[stray cave]

Okay, actually I'm a little confused, is it that you're hoping for me to post it in here for like, content reasons? Or more just like, it's weird to have someone who's never posted in here start submitting dex entries through the google survey? Cos I can admit, that's on me either way, but I'm just the type to check and have full context

[thorn ingot]

He wants you to post your entries here so people can give feedback on them and make sure they don’t go against the FAQ rules

[ebon warren]

There were multiple entries that had one or more issues that you submitted via the submission form and those entries were not reviewed or posted here prior.
It's fine to submit entries on the form without posting here first, as long as the entries submitted don't have any major issues.
Since you submitted multiple with issues, the Unown team (and specifically, that Dex Manager) are asking that you post the next handful of entries into this chat for review before submitting them (for now).
This allows you to get feedback and learn the style of the PIF Dex entries easily and quickly.

[stray cave]

Ahhhh, indeed! Sorry, doing my own project and I'm like "Aw man some of these designs could have so much worldbuilding! I'll toss in a few dex entries" but I can understand the problems with consistency. Hope I don't annoy y'all with my enthusiasm in the coming days 🫡

[storm light]

We love to see enthusiasm!

[willow venture]

Can you reference like

A Pokemon Fusion's name in a dex entry?

I think it'd be really cool

[regal cedar]

We strongly recommend not doing that, in case the name ever changes.

(It has happened in the past.)

[thorn ingot]

Yeah like Ferrothorn name split used to be different

[regal cedar]

All Pokémon mentioned should also still be easily identifiable.

[stray cave]

Fair. Shame there's no way to, like... "POKENAME1.1" or something

Reference another mon's name through another code shortcut

Obviously it would require a bit of lookup from the entry-writer, but still

[ebon warren]

It's not a problem at all, it's just a matter of experience. We love enthusiastic writers, but you need enough experience and knowledge to really "do it all alone" while ensuring you follow all the rules and formatting expectations.

So feel free to keep writing, and don't ever think you're doing too much, just make sure to post the entries here before submitting so you can get them at least reviewed. (You can always submit multiple entries in a single post here at a time if you'd like.)

Keep in mind you'll need to include the Dex numbers from Daena (xxx.xxx) with each entry, and if possible submitting the sprite image with the entry also helps as well

[stray cave]

Yeahhhh I've seen people link the fusiondex page, would that count?

[ebon warren]

The only acceptable reference to the fusion name for the fusion itself is POKENAME, and even referencing other fusion's names can be problematic because of precisely what was stated prior: the way fusion names are made, and how they are split, can change sometimes.

[willow venture]

Aw man...

[ebon warren]

That's fine too as long as it's the exact sprite, sometimes links go to the fusion page that shows ALL sprites which isn't helpful

[stray cave]

So.... unrelated. But is that Furfrou waiting room thing an official thing? 👀 It's one of the more creativity-encouraging Pokemon concepts, so I'm honestlyyyyy likeeeee excited to think of itttttt

[stray cave]

Right, link image address or, uh

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/124.490/

Like this

[willow venture]

No it's mostly my own want

I want Furfrou

[stray cave]

SAME

[willow venture]

Though funnily it's not fully fueled by it being a cute/beautiful pokemon

(It definitely is)

It's also because Fur Coat might lowkey be insane in a game like this

[hollow nimbus]

You can find a list of all Pokémon in pif on FusionDex, though

[stray cave]

Well jes ofccccc

[willow venture]

No no imagine

[stray cave]

yes

[willow venture]

Normal/Ghost Furfrou/Cofagrigus

With Fur Coat

That's gonna go so hard

[ebon warren]

Yes but that fusion only has one, a better example is a fusion that has multiple sprites

[stray cave]

Yes, I suppose I should clear up that I know clicking on a sprite makes the webpage go to a link that directly lists the specific sprite, that's what I was poorly getting at

[stray cave]

I mean, yeah. The game doesn't really need that many layers of strat, it's not Radical Red or Clover

But I agree that it WILL be satisfying to be so defensively unstoppable

[ebon warren]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/26.12a/
That's a better example, that is the precise sprite, not just the fusion as a whole, and that fusion has three sprites.

[stray cave]

Gotcher!

[willow venture]

I wouldn't want the game to be Rad Red either LMAO

[thorn ingot]

Yeah and we already have a single game mode for challenging gameplay in Expert Mode anyways

Don’t need that to leak to other modes

[stray cave]

I agree that there's some biznasty combos to fusioncraft

[pale venture]

I care not for its mechanical value, I just want fusion sprites where they decorate the dog like a new Furfrou design

[willow venture]

I care for both so bleh for you

[pale venture]

Nuhuh

[willow venture]

GUESS WHO'S BACK

[rich goblet]

Welcome back

[viscid light]

@charred shadow

Softly floating throughout the air on lightweight silk made by it's own body, [POKENAME] are an often-seen sight whenever the wind picks up. Unsurprisingly, this has made them considerable predators capable of tracking their prey with psychic pulses reaching up to 50 yards away.

[narrow cosmos]

Belatedly dropping in on the conversation to say that's been my pet peeve with a lot of fangames and hacks these days is that the ones with a lot of neat QoL and all the pokemon ever or such also tend to be difficulty hacks that don't jive with me and my lack of strategics. Just let me over-level and unga-bunga my way to victory, I don't have the mind to Trick Room Baton Pass my way to victory.

[rough kraken]

Ah ok thank u

[storm light]

POKENAME seem to enjoy taunting younger Pokémon like Mudkip by holding sweets and berries just out of reach. The reason why is unknown at this time. Researchers are split on if this behavior is learned from POKENAME's parents or instinctual.

Actually I'm not too sure how much that dex might hold up considering its alt is this https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/492.282b/

will probably sleep on it and come back to it in the morning

[hexed fog]

I literally dont mind

[final bison]

thanks thanks

[jade gale]

Does anyone know if there's a place where I can see the full Dex with the sprites and dex entries? I really like reading through them but getting every single fusion in the game just will take too much time lol

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.

[soft flicker]

The bottom one is most likely what your looking for

[soft flicker]

You can look for specific fusions and if the fusion has a little note icon there's a custom dex entry for this sprite.
Additionally there's a tab for "Authors" where you can look at all the authors and their entries

[jade gale]

Oooh oki tysmmm

[silent anchor]

Nidoran♀ / Tyrogue fusion(dex entry + sprite design i wan't to know if it's good or bad)

Due to the rapid fusion with Tyrogue, Nidoran♀’s horns have transformed into long, flexible ears. POKENAME uses these sensitive ears to stay agile in battle while releasing poisonous chemicals when threatened.

[rich goblet]

#dex-entries-discussion message

<@&1210701164426039366> I think the first part is a bit too directly related to the fusion process, but I'm not sure, what do you all think?

The second sentence seems fine, but I have no idea if the first part works or not

[silent anchor]

yeah that's true the first part is about the entire fusion part

[rich goblet]

A rarity given how much time I spend in the channel

[rich goblet]

In general I think writers avoid talking about the act of fusion because lore around it is meant to be vague

[silent anchor]

Oh

[rich goblet]

I'd wait for an Unown to respond before submitting, its like 6am PDT or something here so it might take a moment

[silent anchor]

i think i submitted the entry like yesterday but i don't really remember because i made the entry yesterday but the sprite like today

[rich goblet]

Oh, if it isn't an existing sprite that is in the spritepack or the game, then it is generally frowned upon because the underlying structure isn't there

[silent anchor]

oh

[rich goblet]

Basically if it isn't in one of those two places there isn't a place to put the entry

It's okay though, especially if you're the spriter, it'll just get assigned when it makes it into the sprite pack, just like ping an Unown when that happens

[silent anchor]

i understand what your saying but it kinda copies of the other sprite fr0st.44 made

i just changed some things

i do think i'm going to make the first part more tyrogue related

[rich goblet]

Oh wait

Your entries were not approved because you used your display name, not your username

[silent anchor]

ohhh that's why

[rich goblet]

It also takes a long time for entries to get approved, it is done in batches

Last check was like the 23rd of February

[silent anchor]

i'm still trying to lean to tryrogue so i'm happy it probs won't go throught

(i probably didn't spell that right)

[rich goblet]

That's alright, no biggie

If you click the blue link and head to the responses tab and scroll all the way to the bottom, you can keep track of your entries

[silent anchor]

oh thank you so much

oh yeah there saying that that isn't a username

[rich goblet]

Yeah, the system is very precise with your username

Anyone can have the same display name but your username is unique

Yours is kafoxnothylol_47795

[silent anchor]

yeah i know that i didn't know that i couldn't use my display name

[rich goblet]

I think the form specifically asks for your username

[silent anchor]

wait that doesn't sound right what i'm trying to say is that i thought i could have done that but that the system also checks for display names

[rich goblet]

Unown's typically check for exact usernames because people can always have the same display name

[silent anchor]

yeah okay i think i'm almost done with the remade dex entry for both nidoranF and M with tyrogue

-Nidoran♀ / Tyrogue

Tyrogue’s training gave this Pokémon great agility and defensive instincts. Its large, sensitive ears—once Nidoran♀’s horns—help it detect danger quickly, allowing it to dodge attacks and release poisonous chemicals to protect itself.

-Nidoran♂ / Tyrogue

Tyrogue’s intense fighting spirit awakened this Pokémon’s offensive power. Its large claws strike with great force, and it can unleash poisonous energy in powerful bursts when battling strong opponents.

i LOVE these versions

i mean they can be expanded on but it tok me a while

*took

wait formating issue i have to go back now

[regal cedar]

instead of rapid fusion, just use fusing

[silent anchor]

no not that i meant comma's and ; and stuff like that

it sais in colour codes

*says

i got it without comma's and stuff now

what does it mean if nothing from the text has no colour but you're name is orange?

does it mean there still reviewing it or smth else?

[regal cedar]

yea, it's just something the sheet automatically does for users who haven't had accepted entries before, it'll dissapear once one's accepted.
(it lets us more easily see who to check if the person is in the server and has read the rules)

[hexed fog]

What image is this? The sprite in the game does not look like this and we do not approve entries for sprites not in the game

[regal cedar]

Custom sprites to be specific, we write for.

[hollow nimbus]

Did you get an answer to your question yet?

[rich goblet]

I don’t think so, but it was more to help the person I linked in that message

[hollow nimbus]

It's either lore-breaking or just redundant depending on your interpretation.
Either you

[rich goblet]

Ooooh good point

[hollow nimbus]

argh
I have this tendency to hit enter sooner than I want

Either you're saying it's a transformed Tyrogue, which doesn't take the fusion as its own species into account

Or you're just explaining what fusion even does, which the player should know by the point that they have a Pokédex

[rich goblet]

Gotcha, thanks!

@silent anchor there’s the explanation on your entry btw

#dex-entries-discussion message

[rough kraken]

POKENAME are among those that have absorbed the psychic energy from necrozma prisms giving them incredible power but also making them blindly loyal to their trainers their "light"

[tranquil thunder]

Ah, so you are making entries while playing the game as well.

[rough kraken]

Ye

Mostly for my boy necrozma

Also typing with fins is hard ;_;

[tranquil thunder]

I see. I feel like there are issues to submitting this entry but the only thing I would confidently recommend is that you would use POKENAME in place for the fusion's name.

[rough kraken]

I used both?

[tranquil thunder]

No, just the Fusion name Necrovior.

[rough kraken]

Oh

U mean who makes up the fusion

Edited

^_^

[hollow quartz]

You use POKENAME instead of the actual fusion's name when you write an entry for them, is what Fireflower said.

[rough kraken]

Hmm? Like POKENAME is a powerful fire type?

[hollow quartz]

As in you literally state "POKENAME" rather than say "Necrovoir" and rather than saying "Necrozma/Gardevoir"

So yes your example is accurate

[rough kraken]

Ah ok fixed it

[hollow quartz]

[rough kraken]

^_^

[hollow quartz]

To give further critique than that, I believe it would be apt to call this an origin issue at least, given the statement that they come from having absorbed the energy from Necrozma prisms, the lack of a period to close, and after rereading a few times I sense there may be a missing comma or two near the end as well.

[rough kraken]

Yeah i uh suck at wroting XD

[hollow quartz]

It's not to say you or anyone sucks at it, it's just a case of errors that could be fixed.

Errors, mind you, that anyone could make--I'm certainly no stranger to errors even now, lol.

[viscid light]

PaintandSuffering, where are ya?

Once majestically drifting through the air to hunt prey, a heavier abdomen has put a stop to [POKENAME]'S preferred means of hunting. Despite now being confined to the ground however, this did not stop [POKENAME], now stated with poisoning bigger prey, once their own predators.

[storm light]

Girapex #345.455
Prey enveloped by POKENAME's arms are usually never seen again, leading to rumors that they are sent to a different dimension. POKENAME's venom is potent enough to cause severe damage to the nervous system.

Volno #533.375
POKENAME's tail blinks in complex patterns that are thought to be a form of communication. Unfortunately, POKENAME are blind and cannot see the lights of their fellows.

[rich goblet]

Now this is a work of art

[rich goblet]

I think the first apostrophe can be removed to just "its"

Very lovely entry otherwise

[viscid light]

@midnight siren

Hostile to a fault, no thanks to a sweet-smelling body, [POKENAME] will explode on a dime, unleashing it's stored sweetness in a 30 foot radius. For anything - Pokémon or human - caught in this fog, they'll learn quickly that this sweetness masks a potent paralyzing gas as [POKENAME] runs off.

@solid belfry

Despite many a fusion having Pokemon unite together, [POKENAME] can't seem to agree upon itself - a fear of water despite dependence and hesitance of lifting up it's soggy skin causing it to faceplant multiple times. Thankfully, both halves of [POKENAME] agree on one thing: Fighting like there's no tomorrow.

[rich goblet]

I'm not sure what the first part means

Does "Despite many a fusion having Pokemon unite together" mean that this fusion is uncommonly found? Also there's new things to be found in the lorebook if you haven't read it yet. RealThree put a lot of work into making it to help address what is and isn't allowed

[viscid light]

I have not found the lorebook

[rich goblet]

It is in the pinned posts!
In this channel*

[viscid light]

sigh

But as for points 1 and 3, I'm trying to describe it as such: This fusion's behavior goes against the behaviors of it's pieces

[rich goblet]

Ooooh, that wasn't very clear me until it was put like that, my bad

[viscid light]

@clear hollow

If you are to find silk strings across a forest with the carcasses of dead Flying and Bug-type Pokémon, all mannered like a ballerina stage, [POKENAME] is not too far away. The strings are often eaten up by Weedle and Venonat, leaving no end of ire from [POKENAME].

@rich goblet mother of fak, my brain was on low energy on that...

[rich goblet]

If you are using type as a proper noun then Flying and Bug need to be capitalized, otherwise I think this is a beautiful entry

[clear hollow]

this is so ominous, I love it

[viscid light]

I'm trying to do an "on-the-field" style of Pokedex entries

[hollow quartz]

Not a bad idea, tbh

[rich goblet]

@viscid light I want to say that I really love your entries. Even if you don't like to take credit I figure I let you know

[viscid light]

I thank you very much for acknowledging that

[viscid light]

@minor lava

An old legend describes a deceased Charmander laying it's flameless body in an empty cave during a horrid storm, where it's soul - glimmering like the sun - blasted the storm away in a burst of solar light. Interestingly, [POKENAME] bears exact details of this old legend, as if this was the Charmander's soul itself.

@last ice

Unleashing so much strain throughout it's body to the point of death from it's training, some assume [POKENAME] actually isn't a fusion, but rather a Ghastly possessing the dead body of a Tyrouge. Interestingly, the very fusion would not deny these claims as they keep training without the pain holding them back.

[rich goblet]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/when-to-use-its-vs-its

I used to make this mistake a lot and there's a handy article about how to fix it

[hollow quartz]

Unironically I think how I learned to retain the "its vs it's" when I learned it in school was basically just: "Its and it's are just annoyingly trying to be different from everyone else" or something to that effect

[keen kestrel]

any time you write "it's" just check if "it is" works in the sentence

or vice versa

[hollow quartz]

That I learned/realized later, but like in earlier grades I just never could forget that "it" was just trying too hard to be different

[viscid light]

It's more that my brain sometimes reads "it's" as "its'" or just "it's"

... ArmoredGallade where are ya...

Due to the effects of fusing with Diglett, [POKENAME]'s body (or rather, it's torso) has expanded to the same diameter as a normal Diglett, while leaving the tail untouched. And despite the fusion, [POKENAME] behaves like a normal Dunsparce. The end result of all of this confuses Pokémon Researchers to this day.

(As much as my brain's running low, I'm at least glad knowing that I went with the direction of this fusion being "unaware it's fused")

[rich goblet]

I think you might need a break, its basically a normal dunsparce with diglett size

Don't force out entries if you feel uninspired, It's definitely better if you take breaks as needed

[viscid light]

fuck that noise

(Oh thank goodness, @shell spear for making a good design like this)

Being stuck in a rut is so unsatisfying so I get'cha

@shut shoal

No longer sated with fresh leaves, [POKENAME] has now delighted itself with eating the roots of trees, the more healthy the more desirable. Very understandably, the mere sight of [POKENAME] can send a Snorlax into a frenzy

(It's so cute)

[keen kestrel]

*leaves 😉

[rich goblet]

It looks wonderful

Little guy

[viscid light]

It's the bulbs on the head that makes it very enjoyable on the eyes

@ocean orbit

Much more refined (and stubborn) than normal Drowzee, [POKENAME] seeks out the dreams of those whom seek out the idea of flight. If you happen to hear a ruckus at night, [POKENAME] has likely caught the smell of these sort of dreams, and will not respond towards outside interference even from the most trusted of trainers.

@fringe socket

Safely cocooned within hard plastics, [POKENAME] can bloom in any location. Despite the noxious smells known with Trubbish and other Pokémon of such types like Muk, running into a garden of [POKENAME] is often followed with the soft scent of Sunflowers - often considered a sign of good fortune.

[viscid light]

@wispy rose

(Sensu Style)
Despite the elegant form that reflects a Sensu-styled dance form, [POKENAME] still cannot resist the mad urge of its own greed. If [POKENAME] is given the information of value being a reward for dancing, even Sensu-style Oricorio become jealous of [POKENAME]'s dancing - focused to the point of manipulating the spirits of the living.

@west sedge

It is highly advised against actively chasing down [POKENAME], due to their dens being crystalized and allowing the fusion the ability to blend into its' surroundings. Funnily enough, [POKENAME] - if forced out of water, will enter a state of slumber...where Sableye eagerly await a predator now prey.

...has the dex entry word amount increased?

@lament lance

Steadily trailing it's way through streams, the mere sight of [POKENAME] swimming about is often a symbol of calamity, although this may be thanks in part of their friendship with Absol. Despite having a beak filling up what many people believe is the mouth, [POKENAME]'s beak is the actual mouth, capable of smashing rocks.

[storm light]

250 is the character limit

[viscid light]

@dapper lily

Now accustomed to it's blindness, [POKENAME] occasionally flaps its' wings in faint rhythm, allowing itself to see through the changes of the wind made by its' wings. As one would expect, [POKENAME] often avoid caves, and often (if unintentionally) causes problems for any Pokémon using webs to hunt.

(And I am done for now)

[worthy timber]

i just found out theres supposed to be some kind of review process before i submit entries so im just gonna throw some of my old ones here that got rejected and see what mistakes there are to fix. cuz im proud of these and i aint lettin em go to waste

dont doubt they're flawed but i submitted like 20 and all got rejected for lackof review so i'll just find em right quick

POKENAME's wings glow orange and purple-ish colors due to the fusion of roaring flame and cosmic energy flowing through. The specific colors that end up showing make POKENAME a lesbian icon.

Empowered by the wishes it grants, POKENAME has become something of a lesser deity. It is theorized that, given enough wishes are made, POKENAME could surpass even the strongest gods.

[rich goblet]

@worthy timber Did you read the lore book in the pinned posts on this chat? It’ll help you determine what is and is not canon. I highly recommend it.

[worthy timber]

wish i knew that was a thing.

[rich goblet]

Hey it’s okay, a quick fix up and these should be fine. I’m on the go so if you need help just ping an Unown

[worthy timber]

i'll just keep sending a few but its getting late so. i guess if anyone pops up who wants to chime in then that'd be neat, but whatevers

[rich goblet]

If forced to - will rest above water… I think there’s some grammar shenanigans that need to be fixed

Also I think there’s phrase is predator turned prey

[viscid light]

Oh please do.

[rich goblet]

“If forced to emerge out of water…” I believe would be the best way to fix that grammar bit

[rich goblet]

This section feels relevant to this entry

[rich goblet]

Becoming a lesser deity is definitely frowned upon, and gods don’t really exist in Pokemon except for Arceus

[viscid light]

1. please do not slingshot anything about gender hullabaloo - literally cannot end well
2. That ultimately feels pointless regarding the fusion as a whole

[worthy timber]

god damn it i just pasted the dex entries in and got warned for too many attachments 🥹

[rich goblet]

Pointing to the lore book was enough, you don’t have to add that much

[rich goblet]

Yeah that’s a common spammer/bot thing to do

[worthy timber]

i figured that one would be one of the lesser. ones

submitted

i didnt want to spam chat or nothing but i guess i'll send these one by one?? idk man

POKENAME's entire body is rewired to run on the thermal energy of Reshiram's Fusion Flare. Its insides can reach temperatures theoretically capable of melting even the exotic matter shell of gravastars.

[rich goblet]

What fusion is this? I’m not getting any vibes of the other half

[worthy timber]

Ultra Necrozma + Reshiram

[viscid light]

Actually, here's my take on that fusion.

Trapped within a constant point of a rainbow wave, [POKENAME] constantly shifts wildly between various spectrums of light. Anyone unfortunate enough to come into physical contact with [POKENAME] during these shifts in light are also sent into these spectrums, as if displaced into different boundaries of space altogether.

[worthy timber]

my thinking was, necrozma absorbs light energy, fusing it with reshiram = absorbs the thermal

[viscid light]

It's a good mental state, but at this point you're only talking about Reshiram, not Necrozma

[worthy timber]

ok fair point.

[viscid light]

Take for example with the Palkia/Ho-Oh fusion. I focused on how its' constantly shifting about in light, but the fusion itself is stuck in a pattern.

Rather than say, a moment in time, I play it as "a moment in light", or rather - a play on the Visible Light Specrum

[worthy timber]

hm. ok

i'll get, a simpler one. hang on

Mistrode
The orb that it holds can carry immense electrical charge for casting spells. Even despite this, POKENAME often mistakes its capacity, resulting in an explosive overcharge.

[viscid light]

It's good, but the description feels more proper towards a pre-evolution on both ends

[rich goblet]

POKENAME often overestimates its capacity… etc etc, is more grammatically correct

Even despite this adds nothing

[worthy timber]

???
I can maybe see misdeeavous but voltorb? electrode is arguably the one better known for exploding

[rich goblet]

Both are known to explode IMO

[viscid light]

With a much larger capacity, and a more honed sense of control, [POKENAME] is capable of unleashing thunderstorms as wide as an entire city. In a sense of irony however, natural sources of electricity - whenever from normal thunderclouds or Electric-Type Pokemon - can cause this balance to go haywire, often exploding in [POKENAME]'s face.

[rich goblet]

This is like 80 characters over the limit, roughly

[viscid light]

More or less.

[rich goblet]

Point taken

[viscid light]

And you'd wonder why I'd actually prefer if others give it a shot with my descriptions.

That, and I was trying to keep to the theme that @worthy timber did.

[rich goblet]

Don’t forget that each entry has to be able to stand on its own, even on evolutionary lines

[viscid light]

Exactly

[worthy timber]

im getin tired so im sending in one more before i hit the hay

Flarachi
It tears through the atmosphere at intense speeds, often confused for a shooting star at night. Wishes made upon it in this manner often come true.

[viscid light]

...maybe you should go sleep.

[rich goblet]

You can't really do anything well if you don't get some rest

[worthy timber]

this was something i made a month ago that got rejected and i jsut found out

i didnt make it on the spot i was posting older entries i made since they all got rejected to see why

cuz im not familiar, with the rules and regulations it seems

[rich goblet]

This wasn't a reflection on the entries

You should rest instead of forcing yourself to remain awake

[worthy timber]

im not like going to pass out

im just laying in bed more than anything

[viscid light]

@jade spindle

More resembling a malnourished Pineco at a first glance, fusion with Kabuto has given [POKENAME] the adaptability to remain still on trees for an ambush, or to give chase upon the ground with alarming speed. Due to [POKENAME]'s changes in hunting however, it consumes more energy than anticipated.

“Contrary to popular belief, the pattern on a POKENAME’s wings is not a design, but an array of hardened scales that have formed a shell. This shell is strong enough to withstand harsh storms and fierce winds, allowing POKENAME to fly in otherwise dangerous conditions.”

(I just wanted to share this dex-entry for my silly little Squirtle/Beautifly)

[kind wolf]

POKENAME uses its hands to dig into the ground. While underground, it hibernates before evolving

Opinions?

[hexed fog]

Wait do pineco live underground

Did I forget something lol

[timid sky]

You forgot the period at the end of the second sentence. Also, it's a little short

[warped seal]

Perhaps expand on why hibernating helps it evolve. Like, does it absorb minerals somehow? Does it need the darkness? Does the type of soil affect it at all?

[timid sky]

Hello fellow dex writers. I am on a quest to complete the base PIF dex, and during that quest I have been fusing many Pokémon and putting any fusions that do not have a custom dex entry into a box so that I may create a dex entry for them. However, I have built up quite the collection and do not feel like creating custom entries for them all at the moment. Partially because I don't want to interrupt my quest, partially because I'm lazy, and partially because I don't have Izik's talent for creating a bunch of entries in a small amount of time. So, I was wondering if anyone else would want to create some entries for the following fusions. If you do create an entry for one of the following Pokémon, make sure that you ping me so that I can remove it from the list.

[stray cave]

I swear bro one of these days I'm gonna lock in and have like a dozen entries in an hour

[rugged socket]

Blimey, how many have you captured so far?

[timid sky]

I don't know the exact number, but I'd say I'm probably somewhere between 300 and 400

[rugged socket]

Good luck!

[keen kestrel]

I think they mean just the unfused pokemon, not all 200,000+ fusions lol

Sounds like you are at least halfway done nice work!

[timid sky]

Yes, I’m nowhere near insane enough to go for all fusions

I’ve just been fusing stuff for the scientist in Cinnabar that wanted 100 Pokémon fused

[storm light]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/145.342d/
Sighting a POKENAME in flight was thought to herald the approach weather-related natural disasters. They cover their bodies in crackling electricity to defend against predators.

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/145.342e/
This variant of POKENAME expertly controls both wind and electricity. Nesting POKENAME are extremely dangerous, defending their nests with devastating Zap Cannons and Hyper Beams.

Would love to put in more reference to Narwa and Narwa the Allmother but I couldnt think of much

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/24.355a/
POKENAME live in packs consisting most often of three or four individuals. Using the poison sac in their body, the leader builds a cloud of poisonous spores in their mouth to spew at foes, after which the rest of the pack pounces.

[last musk]

Oh my goodness

How many monster hunter fusions are there?

[rich goblet]

Plenty

[storm light]

yes

kupala has a lot of the ones i made entries for

[last musk]

I'm not usually a Pokémon collector but...

[storm light]

I try to make the reference while still keeping it Pokemon related. It gets hard to keep both sometimes

[last musk]

Good luck 🫡

[storm light]

Gonna need it bc a few of these sprites are monsters I know nothing about, Like Nakarkos https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/377.224a/

[last musk]

Oh I love nakarkos so much

It's so awesome

[storm light]

Make an entry for it! I believe in you!

[last musk]

I'll think it through then

I don't know much of the lore, but I've fought it multiple times in GU and it's so fun

[storm light]

Once known as living volcanoes, POKENAME slowly trudge through volcanic mountain ranges looking for food. The molten rock used in their attacks exceeds temperatures of 2,000°F.

@unborn crest Double checking with you that this^ guy is Zorah Magdaros? I wasnt really sure

[unborn crest]

dire miralis

[storm light]

Oh

uhhh, does the entry still work for it though?

[unborn crest]

i think so tbh

lorewise it was a fatalis that sat on a mountain for so long it became the mountain

[storm light]

Ive never fought dire miralis

Ooooo

[unborn crest]

it shoot magma and magma balls from the canons on its back which ued to be wings

lovely entry, thank you

[storm light]

Of course! I love the monster hunter sprites!

Trying to motivate myself to go through MH4U to get experience with more monsters since I've only played World, Rise and Wilds

im waiting for stories to release

i need it

Thank you very much!!

gorebyss and beautifly fusions not being available so i can't make horrifying predators

[storm light]

This one has the potential to be really horrifying if you think about it https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/564.468a/

[potent ferry]

So...some pokedex entries for fusions are apparently sprite specific, is that correct? I fused a luvdisc with a ratata and the sprite I chose had no dex entry. The other custom sprite DOES have one. Is this how it's meant to be?

[keen kestrel]

It makes sense if you think about it, If the sprites have completely different designs then the same dex entry wouldn’t make sense for all of them

[potent ferry]

So...do they accept different dex entries for different sprites? I developed one for a luvdisc/rattata fusion sprite that doesn't have one, but should I submit it when another sprite of the same fusion mon exists?

Please read the pins and FAQ

[potent ferry]

I've read the pins and looked through the FAQ but I still haven't seen an answer to my question. I'm sorry, would this be a better topic for...I'm not sure maybe the tech support channel?

[hexed fog]

The entry form states that you are submitting entry for a sprite, not the combination of Pokemon. This is because you are just submitting the sprite itself. If there is another sprite, and you did not put in an entry for that sprite, then there is no entry for that sprite.

[potent ferry]

I see. Okay, thank you very much, sorry for the inconvenience!

Reading solves a lot of problems, not just here

?tag reading

[upper loom]

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

[rich goblet]

We should update that lol

[hexed fog]

Be nice please

I know you're just joking but I dont want them to think otherwise

[potent ferry]

It's all good. I've only submitted a single dex entry and it was the first for that fusion. When I put the sprite number into the submission form, I was under the impression that the number was for the fusion-mon itself, less so the specific sprite of that mon. So when I went to make one for the Luvdisc/Rattata fusion, I didn't realize that the separate sprites had slightly different numbers.

[regal cedar]

Don't worry, it's a common thought.

We appreciate you asking!

[keen kestrel]

Hey weird question
Do the different sprites (variations?) for a single fusion canonically exist in the world together

Probably thinking too hard about it since the player just chooses the appearance of all of them across the world lol

[rich goblet]

That is actually a good question

[regal cedar]

Sometimes entries specifies "this appearance of POKENAME" or the like, but it's likely better to not bring it up. However, I'll ask the Dex managers.

[hexed fog]

Sure why not

I am pretty sure @hollow nimbus agrees but if not we will have a big dramatic fight here in chat

I'll curse too.

Butts.

Yeah. Get it.

[hollow nimbus]

Yeah, they exist

[rich goblet]

And in this corner, our favorite bearded Unown, IZIK!

In the other corner, our very cryptic squid loving Unown, REALTHREE!

[hollow nimbus]

You can have two variations that are very similar, one that's on fire and one that's not, and for the flaming one, you can write "POKENAME that have been exposed to extra sunlight become a combustible variant," and that's totally fine

[hexed fog]

I personally like different variations

[hollow nimbus]

I'm very cryptic?

[rich goblet]

I'm not good at playing announcer, clearly

[hexed fog]

Like east and west shellos

[hollow nimbus]

No, no, it's fine
Just intriguing

[keen kestrel]

[rich goblet]

I find squids cryptic

Like in a lot of media they have that vibe

[hollow nimbus]

I was informed today that my tendency to stare off into space when I'm tired is a bit intense

So I guess it fits

[hexed fog]

I personally prefer slightly different alt entries for alts rather than copy pastes

But that's just a preference not a rule

[rich goblet]

Good to remember

[hexed fog]

Different diets, scents, temperaments, etc

[rich goblet]

I'm very guilty of repeating the same thing over an evolutionary line if I'm not careful

434.7.png POKENAME survive living in landfills by wading through the muck to find plastic to eat. To defend themselves from fellow scavengers, they spray dirty water at their competition.
434.8.png POKENAME rummage through landfills to find plastic to consume. Their tough shells allow them to fall from great heights without hurting themselves.
434.9.png POKENAME produce a thick sludge from their cannons that is created after they eat lots of plastic. This sludge can be melted down and converted into renewable materials, but few people want to harvest the putrid sludge.

I know its technically allowed, but I wonder if the dex managers have like preferences

I know Izik has developed a reputation for not liking edgy entries

(Perpetuated by me, solely)

[regal cedar]

Our personal preference should not decide on whether an entry gets accepted or not. If we're unsure, we can discuss it.

[rich goblet]

This is why I would be such a bad unown. I am a very biased writer

[hexed fog]

Yup. I've approved many entries I've hated

[storm light]

I like doing this by saying "This variant of POKENAME..." :>

[hexed fog]

Or went "wow you're not creative"

But I do it with love

[storm light]

Were some of them mine?

[hexed fog]

Honesty?

I have no idea

[hollow nimbus]

Cs get degrees

[rich goblet]

REAL

[storm light]

I like to do the more nature doc aspect of entries, but i have my fun ones sometimes

[hexed fog]

I like safe entries the most

[storm light]

like this one

[hexed fog]

It's my fav

[hollow nimbus]

Fun fact: I was taught that phrase for the first time by one of my high school teachers, who was a strong believer in it

[rich goblet]

Safe entries are pretty fun, especially for grass type Pokemon

Like gimme SEED and LEAF any day

[hexed fog]

Grass types are magnets for safe entries

[hollow nimbus]

We sound so cowardly like this
What do we like to see? Oh, uh, you know. Safe stuff. The Pokémon smells like flowers. It likes to make friends. Sometimes it goes for a little walk.

[hollow quartz]

Grass types are easy I feel like

[hollow nimbus]

Unless Izik is writing it and it's a Grass/Poison type

[rich goblet]

You should see my entries, I love grass type Pokemon

[hollow quartz]

So much flexibility--you have pollen, resin, sap, various aromas, various flavors of the leaves they grow, etc etc

[hexed fog]

It eats roses. It likes to sleep on the grass. It drinks tree sap.

[rich goblet]

I have watched so many botany videos to learn more about how plants can be written

EDIT: Finished thought

[hollow nimbus]

The PIF world is gonna end up like the SCP canons
There's just so much wacky stuff in every inch of space, how do people even live here

[hexed fog]

Tell me about a flying type that flies in ovals to patrol. Just fucking do it.

[hollow nimbus]

Bonus points if you call them ellipses rather than ovals

[hexed fog]

Lol

[hollow quartz]

Need more spinda fusions so we can have ones that just move in wacky patterns
