Porygon-Z self fusion. Missingno. sprite. Trying to figure out a way to frame it as a processing error

[hollow nimbus]

I don't know if there are old versions of electronic Pokédexes at this point in time

But you can say that scientists that were trying to study it only ended up with processing errors on their equipment

[finite salmon]

I was thinking something like "Unexpected error has occurred. Unable to process data on POKENAME. Please input data manually."

[hollow nimbus]

You have to keep in mind that the entries in the PIF Pokédex were canonically written by an array of authors, so peer review is going to happen for the entries canonically as well

[finite salmon]

So that could disprove the current version of the idea

[hollow nimbus]

If the researcher studying Porygon-Z/Porygon-Z sends in "Unexpected error has occurred. Unable to process data on POKENAME. Please input data manually.", they're gonna go, Oh, this researcher had technical trouble, so we can't use what they wrote

[rich goblet]

I imagine they'd just try again over taking the poor quality report

[hollow nimbus]

Keep in mind that no single entry is going to be remembered for being stunningly mindbending and creative
Entries aren't a way to stand out, and we can't bend the format of the game for that

[finite salmon]

I was operating under the idea that the pokedex itself was generating the entries in universe. Complicates things, but I won't give up

[hollow nimbus]

The easiest way to deal with it is to think of it as a book

Authors have to write a book. Editors have to proofread that. Publishers have to okay it. Distributors have to decide where it goes.
There's a lot of checks on what material makes it out there

[storm light]

If I were writing it, I would make it look something like this:
When viewed through older PCs and other machinery, POKENAME's image stutters and slows the device to a near halt. This does not seem to affect POKENAME, though Trainers are advised to be cautious if storing them.

[hollow nimbus]

I don't think Pokémon are stored in the pcs themselves, though

The PC lets you connect to the Pokémon Storage System

[storm light]

Probably just storing them then

[hollow nimbus]

The Pokémon Storage System is going to be on servers owned by the maker of the system, who would be Bill in this case

[storm light]

oh wait, "through older versions of the Pokemon Storage System" maybe?

[hollow nimbus]

Bill isn't going to keep a few outdated servers for outdated computers to connect to

[storm light]

mmm true

[rich goblet]

[hollow nimbus]

If the system updates, that's what people are connecting to now

[storm light]

[finite salmon]

At least it looks like I've given y'all an idea

[hollow nimbus]

I'm going to reiterate that saying in the entry that researchers who were studying it in the past had error on their scientific equipment is the easiest way to use this theme for the entry

[storm light]

Yeah but it's still your idea and thus your entry

wip
POKENAME were able to be studied recently due to the advancements in technology like the Pokémon Storage System. Machines used by researchers in the past could not accurately view POKENAME.

[hollow nimbus]

I don't care how many hypotheticals people stroll up to me and propose; I only write when and what I want to

April Dexchallenge Day 4: Blissey Line 🥚
picture upload for today bc im lazy

[willow venture]

Been awhile since this group got real crowded heheh

So glad to see more new writers in general

[hexed fog]

Someone gimme a sylveon that makes soothing hairgel

[keen kestrel]

Imagining you saying it like

[pale venture]

Get me dex entries of Sylveon

[proud cosmos]

I was told to put my entries into this channel before I submit so here:
Despite it's intimidating appearance, POKENAME is actually not very strong in it's electric abilities. It often stands with it's tail up to scare off enemy Pokémon.

[keen kestrel]

*its 🙂

it’s means “it is” which would not work in any of those spots

[proud cosmos]

mmm okay

my moms an english teacher i should know this

[strong flame]

"is not strong in its electric abilities" feels weird

[proud cosmos]

"its electric abilities are not strong"?

[strong flame]

I thinbk that flows better.

I'm not sure if you can put an 's after POKENAME, I've never submitted one.

[proud cosmos]

you can ive done it before

heres what i have:

Despite its intimidating appearance, POKENAME's electric abilities are not strong. It often stands with its tail up to scare off enemy Pokémon.

[strong flame]

You can still keep the 'actually'.

are actually not that strong

[proud cosmos]

yeah that sounds better

is it good to go?

[strong flame]

Don;t take my word for it, wait for the people to weigh in who do this regularly

[proud cosmos]

k

[strong flame]

Maybe post the whole thing again, you haven;t done so yet, right?

[rich goblet]

What Pokemon is this for?

[proud cosmos]

pikachu/raichu

[rich goblet]

While your entry technically works, having one of the halves be fully evolved and saying that it is not strong doesn't sit right with me

[proud cosmos]

i looked at the health and it is very low

[willow venture]

Its not necessarily wrong

[rich goblet]

That's the technically works part

[willow venture]

The technical gap between Pikachu and Raichu's stats is pretty huge

It sits correctly with me really my only thing is there's not a lot about it outside of "it's weak and it intimidates others with its tail up"

But it's coming from Wordy McSentence dex entry writer so lol

[rich goblet]

I probably am reading into it a bit much, it works

[willow venture]

Also glad to see you here Dalm if you kept on posting you would definitely be getting Red'd (forbidden from writing dex entries ever)

[pale venture]

[rich goblet]

Anyway all that squabbling aside, feel free to post this one, another unown or I will get to this sooner or later

[pale venture]

I don't think Pikachu or Raichu's entries hint at a weak electrical discharge outside oflack of sleep

But if it works it works

[rich goblet]

We all have different ideas of what pokemon can do and feel

That's what makes reading them exciting

Did I show y'all the grumpig cross guard yet

[pale venture]

Pikachu's entries are pretty fun tbh, they're good at showing Pikachu being like a walking battery that charges other Pikachu and cooks berries

[hexed fog]

and with that I officially have done an entry for each pokemon's head and body

[rich goblet]

I'm not that far myself, I'll probably write more tomorrow after church

It's like Easter or something so its going to be a long day 😩

[willow venture]

I should try doing that too lol

I'm surprised I haven't written anything for Golisopod or Absol yet

[rich goblet]

https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries.html

This site is very helpful

[willow venture]

Oh actually I did have one

Means I gotta write more

[delicate cargo]

Where do find your pokedex for entries? I cant for the life of me find it lol

[rich goblet]

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

Or https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_slp_a.html

[rancid sun]

This Pokemon emits a delicious aroma that attracts potential predators. However, licking the pie-like exterior is likely to cause burns.

[rich goblet]

Did you know that if you read the pinned messages in this channel, you can submit your own entries?

Also remember to read the instructions before continuing to do that, especially about the filename and username bit

[rancid sun]

Submitted!

[rich goblet]

@rancid sun

A couple of pointers.

Your username is lydiaprower8, not your display name which is JulianPrower8

You should include the accented é in Pokémon.

Otherwise a solid first entry

[delicate cargo]

Is there no way to get a chart like with sprites?

[rancid sun]

Cheers; I'll keep those factors in mind.

[rich goblet]

I sent the resource in the message below it
#dex-entries-discussion message

[rich goblet]

I misread this, here's the CHART version https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_chart.html

[rancid sun]

I've currently got a Swirkoal on my team and when I saw it had no Pokedex entry I thought of a pretty good one to have

[rich goblet]

That's good 😄

[rancid sun]

Did one for Digfa! How's it look?

[rich goblet]

I'll look at it in a moment, cooking some grub for dinner

[rancid sun]

👍

Take your time

[rich goblet]

I'm assigning you some reading, but otherwise another solid entry: #dex-entries-discussion message

[rancid sun]

Ah OK

[delicate cargo]

Thank you!

April Dexchallenge Day 4: Blissey Line
Happirogue #259.236

"POKENAME loves the egg-shaped stone it carries. If it gets taken away, it will become upset and will fiercely challenge anyone to get it back"

[eternal notch]

Sylter 339.93
POKENAME are sometimes kept by barbers due to their tongues producing a soothing gel that when directly applied regularly onto hair, causes it to take any shape the person desires. Unsurprisingly, this method is not very popular.

this is what you wanted right

[rancid sun]

Someone give one of the hotel hairdressers one of these

[rancid sun]

I've seen the entry for Slurkoal

Oh my god XD

[dusty hound]

Heres two entries I was having trouble with making

POKENAME is often rumored to be a disaster by those who face it in battle. In reality, its chaotic spinning and uncoordinated attacks has given it this title.``` 

```Bastiolee #308.106
POKENAME is docile Pokémon that will protects the young it will often use its stretchy legs to help others reach high places. When threated, it will extend its legs to drive its shield forward, driving back foes with great force.```

Im not fully confident with these so any feedback would be great

[storm light]

The first sounds more like it's talking about an individual instead of a species. You could probably say that "Its chaotic spinning and uncoordinated attacks make it an unpredictable disaster on the battlefield, causing unprepared Trainers to be wary of it."
Essentially taking both of the sentences and smooshing them into one and leaving room for a cool descriptor sentence or followup if you'd like.

[willow venture]

That or use "they/them" could also work

[hexed fog]

Unfortunately I submitted an entry for my Hitmontop/Absol earlier today so yours wont get approved 🙁

[hexed fog]

I'm sorry!

[dusty hound]

It’s all good

[hexed fog]

Usually I don't target my own sprites but it came up randomly

[willow venture]

I didn't even know you make sprites lol

Oh wow 1792 of them okay

[hexed fog]

I've done a few

[dusty hound]

Does Bastiolee look good

[pale venture]

https://tenor.com/sbxWnfd0gyx.gif

Time to cook

[willow venture]

Me for the past 2 days realizing they like writing Eevee entries and Eeveelutions

[storm light]

me rn honestly

back to work

[pale venture]

I've barely written anything recently

Now I, in my sleep deprived state and a cup of coffee, can take on the world

[willow venture]

Fusiondex is updated now to see how many entries I go-

way too many Sylveon heads that I have written an entry on my notes for got entries already

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-higuruma-jjk-season-3-gif-4667305439104820644

[pale venture]

Phew, the one I'm using wasn't written for yet

Thank you problem pokemon tab

[willow venture]

They got entries for juneygoomy's Sylveon/Goodra line it's so over for me

I literally go back and forth writing and fixing the entries for them...

[viscid belfry]

OH MY GOD.
If you have a keyboard with a NUM Pad, Alt + 0233

It makes the é character

[pale venture]

Ye

[viscid belfry]

For Pokémon

[viscid belfry]

This is a public service announcement

[pale venture]

I double click the word e on fusiondex/whatever pokemon site i'm using and copy-> paste

[willow venture]

I personally just always paste in the Pokémon word lol

It's easier than doing the Alt Numpad thing for me

[storm light]

I just let spellcheck do it for me

[willow venture]

Grammarly my begrudging beloved

[viscid belfry]

It saves me from going to Character Map, an app on most Windows PCs

[pale venture]

Sorcerer

[viscid belfry]

Seriously, search apps on PC for "Character Map"

[willow venture]

I'm lowkey so annoyed that's basically all the main Sylveon heads cleared and I only got around to like 10% of it after seeing all the Sylveon entries

Man

[pale venture]

Does the problem pokemon tab not update?

I thought it did in real time

I could be wrong tho

[willow venture]

I think it hasn't updated on my end LMAO

It's been repeating ones that basically already got an entry

(That's why I mentioned juneygoomy's Sylveon/Goodra line by name it was randomly given and then I checked on dex and they already got one 😔)

[pale venture]

I see

I tend to check the responses and their number before writing for them, admittedly this makes me super slow when making them though

[willow venture]

The more diabolical cases is when it gave a Sylveon head, I checked it, turns out it's just a slight variant of the main one that gets entries

[pale venture]

#181.339 Amphaveon
The orbs POKENAME possess radiate a bright, electrifying energy, which is known to weaken nearby Dragon-type Pokémon. The light emitted from these orbs are often used by campers as safer alternatives to campfires and pest repellent.

[willow venture]

Like also 275 sprites for Sylveon heads is just so

Minuscule to work with but I'm gonna stop this mini crash out lol

[pale venture]

Ok I just confirmed the excel sheet updates problem pokemon in responses and the problem pokemon list

The ampharos/sylveon above is already marked and such

That's good to know at least

[viscid belfry]

#318.333
Making its home in shield regions, POKENAME is a staunch defender of its nest. A stony skull allows it to slam trespassers with ruthless attacks.

How do I allude to the Geographical Feature "Shield" without sounding like I'm talking about Pokémon Sword & Shield?

...And how do I format the box around my Dex Entry?

[willow venture]

Three ` in the start and end

Like so

[viscid belfry]

Nailed it

[viscid belfry]

But basically, a Shield is an environment of Old, Exposed Rock (not so much soil) and the vegetation that can grow through such rock. (Such as the Canadian Shield.)

[clear hollow]

This Pokémon lives in caves with low ceilings, against which it presses its flat head to detect its prey's vibrations. POKENAME isn't a good flyer and instead glides from mountain to mountain in search of new caves to hunt in.
420.336 Stunfisk/Salamence

This Pokémon generates an impressive amount of static electricity by rubbing its fluffy tails against one another. POKENAME cleans itself every day, since its charged fur attracts small particles and objects all the time.
412.38 Joltik/Ninetales

POKENAME often gather around power plants to consume the leftover electric waste. They don't seem to mind stealing edible garbage left by the plant workers either.
412.37 Joltik/Vulpix

[willow venture]

Are these your sprites?

They all look and read great to me imo

[clear hollow]

Yeah, these are some of my old ones Thank you!

[olive ermine]

A central conceit of the entries is that they’re written by a research scientist trying to explain this stuff for a layperson. You have 100 characters more for the upper limit. You could try to describe a shield region. Or hard on the science by like “geographical formations known as shields”

With a hundred characters to work with you could do whatever to expand on that piece of information

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge day 5! Happy Easter to those who celebrate 😊
Whismlax #520.260
POKENAME have an enormous appetite, constantly foraging for berries to eat. If anyone tries to take their food, they let out a deafening wail that can be heard for miles, scaring off the thief.

[proud cosmos]

Thanks to POKENAME's small weight and height, it can fly nearly twice as high as a Charizard. The more electricity it has stored, the stronger the flame on its tail gets.

Ideas?

[steel aurora]

April Dexchallenge day 5 submission:
POKENAME is drawn to the cries of frightened Pokémon during the night. It gently waves its long ears, easing their fears and guiding them back to pleasant dreams.

[rancid sun]

I know there's no non-Japeal sprite for this one yet but bear with me here

Submitted!

[dusty hound]

April Dexchallenge day 5:
Wigglytop #40.237

"POKENAME's fur is beloved among royalty for being very soft and supple. If not properly attended to POKENAME will become angry, inflating its body and striking with its pointed ears like a top"

[willow venture]

And they won't bear with it

We auto-reject any entries for mons that don't have an actual drawn sprite

[rancid sun]

Dang and blast it

[hexed fog]

surprised theres no cubone chansey honestly

[steel aurora]

Feedback?

[rancid sun]

Yeah I know

I'd suggest a proper fusion but I've already got a suggestion waiting in #sprite-requests

You'd think combining a motherless Pokemon with a motherly Pokemon would make sense

Don't get me wrong, it does, but I'm surprised there isn't a proper fusion sprite yet

[hexed fog]

you could always give it a go 🙂

[rancid sun]

Working on it

[uneven heart]

Salanub #336.220

"Despite possessing wings, POKENAME struggles to use them because of its small stature. It instead uses them to blow sand and snow at its foes."

[abstract fog]

I really loved entrying this one! ^w^

Dexpril Day 5: ✨Bnnuy✨
Stuffeary #451.403

POKENAME are fairly popular choices as pets, though their speed and strength also make them great fighters. Curiously, Banette's restless spite seems to somewhat ease around POKENAME.

[hollow vapor]

Might have to join the Dexpril thing

[crimson ledge]

Impossible to know if they're here (I suppose that's the point ), but to the person(s) submitting entries as "anonymous"; we don't take those. We need a valid discord username or the entry gets automatically rejected.

[rancid sun]

Submitted a Delibird/Gulpin entry!

[viscid belfry]

POKENAME makes its home in forests with ancient, exposed rock, known as Geologic Shields. They are a staunch defender of their nest, using their stony head to slam opponents with ruthless attacks.

Lmk if that's too long.

[azure wagon]

April Dexchallenge Day 5: Hoppy Easter 🐰

Swirun #491.532
The blue threads that POKENAME produces are made into a popular candy. Many enjoy its intense sour flavor that leaves a unique tingling sensation in the mouth.

[olive ermine]

The entries can be 100-250 characters.

Most writing softwares will have a way to see characters. I use obsidian on mobile and if I swipe right it has it at the bottom.

Or I just found this website and you currently have 196 characters according to it

https://www.charactercountonline.com/

[rich goblet]

This would get hit by an FAQ 6. I would focus on fleshing out the scene rather than rely on niche geology terms.

POKENAME makes its home in forests with ancient, exposed rock that juts out of the ground. They are a staunch defender of their nest, using their stony head to slam opponents with ruthless attacks.

[viscid belfry]

@rich goblet that'd be a good suggestion but the ground is rock, and I'm not sure how to truncate that.

[rich goblet]

POKENAME makes its home in forests with ancient, exposed rock that has been worn down flat from millennia of erosion. They are a staunch defender of their nest, using their stony head to slam opponents with ruthless attacks.

@viscid belfry What are your thoughts on this?

[viscid belfry]

...That a good description of it! I'd remove "down" and move "ancient" to describe the forests since you have rock with "millenia of erosion"

POKENAME makes its home in ancient forests with exposed rock that has been worn flat from millennia of erosion. They are a staunch defender of their nest, using their stony head to slam opponents with ruthless attacks.

I just noticed I switched from "Its" to "They" in the 2nd sentence

[rich goblet]

This looks great! The Unown team will can fix any errors that come about, I'd just send it

[proud cosmos]

I just realized that 8 of my 9 dex entries are all fusions with a pikachu evolution

[rich goblet]

Nothing wrong with that, you wanna see something wild?

[proud cosmos]

sure

[rich goblet]

Guess what this is 🙂

[proud cosmos]

your entries?

[rich goblet]

I have 259 Psyduck entries

I might have a problem

[proud cosmos]

[viscid belfry]

I hope to become that with Niche Grass types

Still waiting for Snover in game

[proud cosmos]

POKENAME can often be found burrowed in the ground sleeping. Some trainers have seen large groups of POKENAME cuddling together, generating electricity, as reasearchers suggest.

Feedback?

[rich goblet]

POKENAME can often be found burrowed in the ground, sleeping. Some trainers have seen large groups of POKENAME cuddling together, generating electricity, as researchers suggest.

A quick scan from google docs led to a couple of fixes

[proud cosmos]

where did you find that

[rich goblet]

Google Docs?

I just post it in a google doc and found a spelling error

[proud cosmos]

ooooh

i didnt know u could do that

[rich goblet]

Yeah it has a red squiggle if it doesn't recognize the word

It's not perfect but just pasting it in there helped me find out you mispelt researchers

[proud cosmos]

man

my mom would be very dissapointed

[rich goblet]

Nah, we all make mistakes

[proud cosmos]

except shes an english teacher

[rich goblet]

Just means you need to check more often

I like to read entries aloud if I'm without internet

Helps me find more mistakes than just skimming through

[proud cosmos]

that makes sense

is it good to go?

thx

[eternal notch]

April Day 5: Rabbit Pokemon
Azumazing #184.110a
POKENAME can store large amounts of air in their bodies, allowing them to very rarely leave the water. An easy way to tell if a POKENAME has just left the water is if it is spraying bubbles.

[rancid sun]

Submitted a Butterfree/Piloswine entry!

[rancid sun]

How are these entries compared to my first ones?

[rich goblet]

I'll find out tomorrow, I generally try to do them day by day, so I'll find out eventually

[rich goblet]

This most recent one is amusing I'll tell you that much

[willow venture]

I woke up and Sylveon heads unwritten entries amount changed from 275 to 268

The Beat Effect

[rancid sun]

Thanks

[viscid belfry]

@rich goblet The entry got submitted, along with the rough draft. Hopefully the first one gets denied, I like what we workshopped.

[rich goblet]

No problem, I'll just snip that right now

[viscid belfry]

Bummer we don't get to teach people about the Shield Biome tho

Like, I'm a nature nerd and vegetation growing basically without soil seems REAL dope to me

[hexed fog]

Hmmm hypothetically, we have a spritedex completionist role... maybe a research completionist role for people who have done an entry for the head/body of each mon

How would yall feel on that

[willow venture]

That's a great role to have/chase for I think

Plus it gets people out of their comfort zone and experiment their writing on a mon they're not as chill with

[storm light]

I'd love that tbh, there are a lot of mons i don't feel confident writing for that i just need to do

Like Mr. Mime

Honedge line is another good example

[hexed fog]

Mr Mime - makes barriers
Honedge - cuts things

[willow venture]

I don't think I have any mon I'm not confident writing on

Actually

[true walrus]

Weezing mentioned

https://tenor.com/view/jidion-guy-milk-in-car-milk-nutting-milk-spilling-gif-10119040861841086573

[willow venture]

After the Darkrai entries that led to my Magenta era maybe that's the one I'm not cool on

[willow venture]

Check out the Deizing line

[thorn ingot]

Nightmares, sleep related stuff

[true walrus]

Okie dokie

[hexed fog]

Darkrai and Giratina will be rough

[thorn ingot]

Nah

[hexed fog]

A lot of the legendary list is

[willow venture]

No I don't know about a lot

Only the edgy boys

[thorn ingot]

Nah they’re not that hard

[willow venture]

I feel like writing the legendary birds or the beasts are easy

[hexed fog]

The box legendaries are annoying imo

After gen 4

[true walrus]

They are very cool, definitely going into the tuff folder

[willow venture]

I really don't see it

[thorn ingot]

Oh Reshiram and Zekrom suck yeah

“World of truth and resolve” my ass

[willow venture]

I haven't tried anything with them I'm not sure they suck really

[hexed fog]

You can play with their typings

Atleast

[true walrus]

Woah woah woah zekrom and reshiram slander will not be tolerated

[willow venture]

I think making their entries focused on one of them being an idealistic mon and one of them being a truth chaser in a way that is very creature-y

Or just play a lot of "it is said" clarifiers idk

[thorn ingot]

Their dex entry slander WILL be tolerated

[hexed fog]

"It does hot" "it does zap"

[true walrus]

Not design wise tho right

[willow venture]

Oh what the hell lemme just try a random one

[thorn ingot]

That’s not correct English Izik

[hexed fog]

It go zappies

[thorn ingot]

Smh my head this is who we have for dex manager

[hexed fog]

It be hotz

[thorn ingot]

First go zoom. Then go brrrrrr

[true walrus]

Also why was sharkpedo + mr mime fusion name changed

[thorn ingot]

(Actual dialog from a Pokemon game btw)

[hexed fog]

Honestly though they do frustrate when writing

A few sharpedo names changed based on curse words

[true walrus]

Awh but that was the point 🫩

Makes sense tho

[thorn ingot]

Yeah Sharpedo is split sharp/edo to avoid issues like that

[hexed fog]

But yeah please keep filling in entries yall

[willow venture]

Honestly looking at Reshiram's entries it barely mentions truth/ideals

[hexed fog]

We are making dents

[willow venture]

It's a lot of "this pokemon's LIT, also it can change the weather"

[storm light]

We are making dents and spriters keep fixing them

[willow venture]

Okay wait it does mention truths but like only a fraction

The Shield entry looks like something I'd write lmao

[hexed fog]

Changing weather isnt hard in pokemon

[true walrus]

If that makes a legendary, then all pokemon would be legends

[hexed fog]

Youre one Sunny Day from geological massacre

[willow venture]

Ghostly flame erupts from its tail as it flies through the sky like a spectral reaper. Empty shells remain from those who witnessed its flight fully, leaving behind people that can only speak in the most hurtful truth they know.```

I think I just did another edgelord mcgee experiment with this one lmao

Unovan mythology tell tales of POKENAME being one of the Pokémon to judge you before you enter the afterlife. When POKENAME telepathically interacts with a human, the flame in its mouth would rage and boil most against those who lived a life of lies.```

[rich goblet]

I am probably never going to write for many legendary Pokemon

I like my cute stuff

[willow venture]

I'd just post this typically but honestly I wanna see how much this passes the personal sniff test for most of you guys lol

[willow venture]

Oh cool vinnyruby has a similar sprite for Zekrom

Unovan mythology tell tales of POKENAME being one of the Pokémon to guard the entrance to the afterlife. Its mouth only opens when it telepathically senses humans who lack conviction and beliefs, swallowing their spirit whole.```

[pale venture]

Dunveon #206.339
POKENAME naturally exude a mystical aura that calms other Pokémon around them. POKENAME are extremely shy and will relentlessly dig into the wall behind them with their drill-like tail if anyone acknowledges their presence.

This one was a little rough to write for, they have no real dex synergy, but I love the sprite

[crimson ledge]

@oak lotus Please make sure you don't capitalize your username when you submit in the future.

[storm light]

This makes the IF for dummies site really useful with the entry chart, might use it to help me choose 'mons
https://www.infinitedummies.fr/pages/entries_chart.html

I do wonder if you would consider self-fusions for the head and body at once or one of them

or not at all

[olive ermine]

Charizard-Phantump 6.438

POKENAME’s central cylinder and intense flame interact to create intense propulsion. The wings are too small for flight and used exclusively for steering as they soar at high altitudes at near supersonic speeds.

[clear hollow]

It spins an electric web on the tips of its tails and uses it as a net for catching Bug-Types. Once the prey is caught, POKENAME burns it by spitting fire before eating it.
363.37 Galvantula/Vulpix

[safe mortar]

What if instead of the pokèdex "... contact DIscord to submit an entry." Was showna placeholder like "This fused Pokemon has not been studied in the wild yet." ? 🤔

[delicate cargo]

The site counts self fusion as both the head and body, so its pretty much a two for one

[unkempt plinth]

Depend of @hexed fog , do you want than i do not count self fusion, for the head&body chart generator ?

[hexed fog]

Sure why not

I'm cool with it

[unkempt plinth]

My question has been confusing, so self fusion will count ? Ok x)

[rancid sun]

April Dexchallenge day 6:
POKENAME is a festive Pokémon known for controlling candy and amplifying its sweetness. In battle, it launches hardened treats that strike with unexpected power.

is it good?

April Dexchallenge Day 6: "Festive" 🎪

POKENAME has the ability to naturally dye the sand around it with an assortment of bright colors. A popular attraction at festivals involves layering this sand into bottles.

Plus that Shinx + Ralts should really be renamed Shilts

Just saying

But that does bring up the issue with Shinx + Skitty

Hey @abstract spindle, thanks for submitting some entries! I have a few notes to make sure the entries fit our dex tone.

For Kecleon/Machamp, you wrote: Waiting motionless it is perfectly concealed, until the moment to strike. Its arms deliver relentless blows while its color-shifting skin erases its presence. From the dark, its tongue snaps forward, dragging victims into a storm of unseen strikes!
This entry feels a little disjointed. It's not clear exactly what conceals it (its lack of motion, its color-shifting skin, or the dark?), and the way it attacks is also split up across multiple sentences (I imagine it doesn't deliver relentless blows until its tongue has dragged in victims). Could you rewrite this entry to focus on one concept at a time? I recommend a first sentence where you talk about how it disguises itself, and then a second sentence describing how it attacks.

For Politoed/Dragonite, you wrote: The great mantle upon its head crowns it as a king among Pokémon. Despite its regal appearance, it can summon storms with a croak, striking swiftly from the skies before its prey realizes it is there.
I don't see much of a mantle on the sprite's head, and I don't think its regal appearance would make summoning storms less likely. The part about striking swiftly also seems unconnected to the rest of the second sentence. If you explain what you were going for with this entry, I can give you advice about the best way to lay it out.

You've got some great concepts here, and I'd love to see these entries in the game after a little revision! We encourage newer authors to post their entries here for feedback before submitting them, and you can tag me or another Unown directly if you'd like immediate feedback.

April Dexchallenge Day 6: Festive
Belltop #182.237

POKENAME will preform a festive spinning dance underneath the sun, its said that their movements are able to help summon sunlight. When herds POKENAME group up, their rhythmic motions are the heart of celebrations.

[oak lotus]

Sorry my bad it was my first time doing it

[crimson ledge]

You're good, just remember for the future.

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge Day 6
Was having trouble with this one until I remembered Ludicolo exists lol.

Ludimo-o #497.473
POKENAME are drawn to festive music, their scales growing tougher the more they dance and play. Groups can often be heard howling together as they play their instruments, throwing huge parties.

[olive ermine]

Giratina-Sharpedo 345.437
Rumours abound of POKENAME violently tearing ships apart leading sailors to be hyper-vigilant for sightings. All confirmed reports of POKENAME note them floating peacefully in the ocean quietly not reacting to any of their surroundings.

[small nest]

You'll want commas after "apart" and after "ocean."

[olive ermine]

And once again I forget to check for commas.
Actually I think a comma in ocean, quietly doesn’t work. I might need to reword again before I pull th trigger

Oh quietly is redundant they’ve already peacefully floating

[rancid sun]

Did one for self-fused Mankey!

[rancid sun]

Anything else I should add?

[hollow nimbus]

I encourage you to come up with a second sentence ofnew information about the Pokémon
If you're stumped for ideas, try reading the pokedex entries from other games for the component pokemon

[willow venture]

It likes to prank humans wandering around the pumpkin patch by dressing up other pumpkins to be just like POKENAME.

Whaddaya think

[rancid sun]

Nice!

[willow venture]

I looked at the entries I write on the fusion sheet and uh

Why are some of em getting the orange color

[storm light]

easy fix lol

[willow venture]

Oh apostrophes

Funny stuff

[shy portal]

i think some apostrophes appear differently due to different keyboard setups

[hexed fog]

We usually just autocorrect those apostrophes

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge Day 7
Skiplem #188.76
POKENAME roll through fields of flowers, spreading pollen from the flowers on their bodies. As they sleep, bees and other insects will often swarm them.

[eternal notch]

April Dexchallenge Day 6 "Festive"

Mr. etta #122.466
POKENAME are a common sight at festivals, despite no-one inviting them. Wherever they appear festive laughter soon follows due to their hilarious routines. Clowns often use POKENAME for inspiration.

April Dexchallenge Day 7: Grass-type

Caterbi #10.251
POKENAME grow up to become protectors of forests. Whenever a POKENAME feels unready to take on this responsibility, they will turn their own time back to avoid metamorphosis.

[steel aurora]

April Dexchallenge Day 7:
POKENAME absorbs light through its sunflower stalk throughout the day. When threatened, it redirects the stored energy into sharp beams that can startle or repel predators.
Feedback?

@willow venture

Volcavoir 374.287.png
Rarely seen, POKENAME only surfaces from the deepest recesses of volcanoes in times it deems right to appear beyond its confines. Survivors of urban areas, mysteriously laid waste to the inferno, tell tales of POKENAME appearing in their dreams.

For this entry, what did you mean by "Survivors of urban areas"? DId you mean that volcanoes erupt near urban areas, which is why Volcavoir appear in their dreams?

[narrow cosmos]

Is this like half-cannibalism?
Seeing notes like that on my entries gets a bit of a from me.

Though I'd say there are probably some examples of animals in the real world that will prey on their own, through desperation or otherwise.

(Though really you could attribute it to some fusions not intrinsically considering themselves the same as either of their constituents.)

[rich goblet]

I do try to spice things up a bit

[willow venture]

Srvivor of cities and villages

Not that deep lol no cannialism stuff

[rich goblet]

Gotcha, thank you!

[rich goblet]

This was in reference to a note I made on their entry, you're fine

[delicate cargo]

Dugts #51.285
POKENAME hide deep within caves, spinning and weaving threads. Due to their ability to predict events, it is said that these Pokémon weave fate itself, each one controlling either the past, present, or future.

[abstract fog]

It was about time to entry this one, I loved this sprite even if it's somewhat simple.
Also tiny note, I'd like to update my submitted entry to the one in here if possible!

April Dexchallebfe Day 7: Touch grass
Hoppip #187.187

Fusion has let POKENAME's body develop in many ways, growing a longer tail and more leaves. However, the added weight of their leaves makes them easily lose balance, so they often wiggle their tail like a secondary helix to balance themselves.

[true walrus]

Someone gotta make a rapper looking fusion so i can make a fire entry for it

[willow venture]

Go nuts man

[true walrus]

Perfect. Its already in

Pause

[hollow nimbus]

It do be like that sometimes

[thorn ingot]

What the hey my discord was scrolled way up

it do that sometimes

April Dexchallenge Day 7:
Hitmonthorn #237.364

POKENAME attach themselves to cave ceilings, where trainers often mistaken them for stalactites. When a target passes below, they drop down and spin at high speed, drilling their prey into the ground

[rancid sun]

Yo the Gardevoir fusion is fire

[real prawn]

what’s the rule on giratina fusions and making up all new dimensions? i want him to come from a reverse world where everything is sunshine and flowers and rainbows

[rancid sun]

And everyone is accepted

[proud cosmos]

When a POKENAME gets too excited, it can release shocks of electricity from its tail. It can also do this when it feels threatened, so it is best to approach with caution while catching one.

I need some feedback before I post

[rich goblet]

What's the sprite number for this one?

[proud cosmos]

172.25

[rich goblet]

When a POKENAME gets excited, it releases shocks of electricity from its tail. It also does this when it feels threatened, so it is best to approach with caution while catching one.

Minor fixes made, when using it/its pronouns, most verbs end with an s

Go ahead and send it, I'll get to it tomorrow.

[proud cosmos]

Okay thank you

[hexed fog]

Faq 35 violation

[rancid sun]

Dang it

[hexed fog]

Going through spriter entries

[rancid sun]

We can't have nice things apparently/j

[hexed fog]

Under 100 remaining... if anyone wants me to move their entry to an undone sprite just lmk i know @narrow cosmos doesnt care so I started doing it with theirs

Better than flat denies

[narrow cosmos]

Moving entries? What do you mean with that one?

🤔

[hexed fog]

Spriter Entries shouldn't have alt entries but sometimes they get accidentally approved

I recently got a list from Snrasha I've been slowly poking through

Instead of just denying the nonspriter entry when the spriter entry is there I figured you'd want it moved to a sprite that needs an entry

I def denied some of my own before I thought of it lol

[hexed fog]

Itll minimize your number going down

[real prawn]

darn

[willow venture]

Oh hey yeah I know an entry of mine was approved around the same time silvertotodile made an entry for Magzing

Sucks to have one less entry but it's for the best lol

[hexed fog]

Do you care if I move em

[willow venture]

Lemme see the other Magzing sprites hm

[hexed fog]

Oh then do an error lol

[willow venture]

This was also super long ago lol

[hexed fog]

Yeahhhh

[willow venture]

I think around 2025???

[hexed fog]

I found some from 24

[willow venture]

I did the error

[narrow cosmos]

I thought that’s what it was. Well, I guess I’m not entirely against it, as long as it still manages to fit the alternate sprite. I’ve had an entry or two I requested gone if it doesn’t fit the sprite. Since I only ever have the one in mind when I make ‘em.

Hopefully there’s not too many of them.

[hexed fog]

Not from you

There were like 9 from me

[willow venture]

It also seems like the universez_ series of sprites for the Magnefing line isn't fully dexed so now I'm reminded lol

[hexed fog]

Like jezuz

[rich goblet]

I wonder how many from me

[hexed fog]

Not there yet

[thorn ingot]

How many from me? I know one that’s denied and one that is accepted but is there any else?

[hexed fog]

I have no ideaaaaa

I was watching youtuuuube

Lmk if I can change em lol

[thorn ingot]

Nah the two I know can’t be moved since they mention physical features specific to the sprite

[azure wagon]

April Dexchallenge Day 7: Grass Type 🍀

[abstract fog]

This sprite is so awesome, I don't normally care about Scraggy's line but this looks amazing!

[clear hollow]

I know from Real that some fusions can be described as feline mons and canine mons instead of cats and dogs. Can the same be applied to spider-like fusions if I call them arachnid Pokemon?

[keen kestrel]

I seem to remember a point in the games where someone says “horse pokemon” and i was like “bro what is a HORSE” 😂

Words like Cat do seem to exist in their language it just means “this kinda creature”

also the pokedex “species” uses those “real” animal names almost constantly

[clear hollow]

I mean, Pokemon have categories like Tiny Mouse Pokemon

I always thought of it as something similar to our "rodent animal" personally. Like, we don't have an animal called "rodent", but it's a word that describes mice and rats and all

POKENAME is a vicious predator that utilizes both heat and electricity to its advantage. Each of its tails can shoot highly flammable electrically charged web strings designed to paralyze the prey and make it an eazy target for POKENAME's Fire Blast.
363.38 Galvantula/Ninetales
Please help me if there's any errors in my sentence structuring

[willow venture]

They would describe it as a 'horse'

Oh wait no I think it's more like

A horse's actual name/classification is 'Equus caballus' but like we're not gonna call it that so we call it horse

So when Rapidash is called 'Fire Horse Pokemon' in universe I presume it's instinctively known scientifically as a 'Fire Horse' but nobody called them that of course because they already had a name (Rapidash)

[dusty hound]

Might be cooked for today's April Dexchallenge and trying to use a hitmontop fusion

[rancid sun]

Try Smoochum's fusion with it

[storm light]

Damn I've been behind on the april dex challenge

[delicate cargo]

May I ask why this particular entry was denied? The note says its because bees do not exist but FAQ 1 says you can reference real world animals

[storm light]

Looking at it, I do think FAQ 1 and the explanation of FAQ 65 kind of contradict each other

[thorn ingot]

Hmm yeah they do

[small nest]

That FAQ should probably be updated. We can use real animals as points of reference, but they don't actually exist in PIF's world. So I would have probably just changed "bees and other insects" to "Combee and other insect Pokémon."

The lorebook in the pins goes into more detail. Essentially, animals don't exist in PIF, but we have stuff like Cyndaquil being canonically called the Fire Mouse Pokémon, so we have to compromise.

[hollow nimbus]

You can say that something is as strong as a chicken, but you can't say it eats chickens

-# I'm trying to go along with what Frog tells us

[hollow nimbus]

You can use animals as a reference, but you can't directly state their existence

You can say it's as yellow as a bee, but you can't say that it's followed by bees

You can, however, say it is followed by bee Pokémon

[delicate cargo]

That makes much more sense thank you. Faq 1 makes it sound like its a blanket yes no matter what lol

[hexed fog]

(Yes we know barnacles and coral are animals but these are plant-ish)

Shh

[rich goblet]

Someday, you too can eat a parasect /joke

Looool

[safe mortar]

Hey there ❤️

Do we have a specific place to propose quest lines to be added? Or side quests ?

April Dex-Challenge Day 8: "Season" 🧂

Volcarina #374.30
During the warmer seasons, POKENAME's body heat helps intensify its venom. It defends its territory by scattering toxic scales from its wings.

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge Day 8

Taneon #266.290
POKENAME's vine-like bodies allow them to thrive in dense forests, blending in with the shrubbery. As the seasons change, they change the color of these vines to match their environment, often with perfect accuracy.

[hollow quartz]

I can't help but desire to cut off the tongue--perhaps that's my MonHun instinct

[rich goblet]

48.64.png POKENAME play in kids shows where they use supposed psychic powers to distinguish gold from counterfeits. In reality, many rely on their sensitive eyes to make this decision, as their psychic abilities play little role in their judgement.

Remember when psychics were a thing? Today's share with the class revolves around dowsing, a skill that I haven't heard of in a long time

[willow venture]

April Dexchallenge Day 9: Baby Pokemon
Happiny/Tyrunt - 259.425 by vinnyruby

POKENAME loves to collect stones and gemstones, especially those with a shiny white hue. If it's not allowed to do so, it will throw a raging tantrum and cry-roars incessantly.

[rich goblet]

dino baby

[willow venture]

I requested that sprite btw

I should've probably continued to request vinnyruby to continue the Happiny/Tyrunt line

Also while I don't normally post my dexchallenge entries here and will only post the finished form later after Day 30

Today is special since it's my birthday so

[rich goblet]

I rarely post in here, I should do so more often

I've been watching some videos about the TV world that was live magicians

Some of these tricks are so bland they loop back into entertainment

[willow venture]

I too wondered why did that Uri Geller guy sue Nintendo anyway

[rich goblet]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm

I don't even know why I have that saved, only that I do

https://www.polygon.com/2020/11/30/21726492/pokemon-nintendo-lawsuit-uri-geller-kadabra-apology/

He gave up in the end

[pale venture]

He gave up to promote his tour and crypto investments

It didn't go well

[rich goblet]

Pfffft

[willow venture]

Yeah that's why we're seeing Kadabra in Pokemon TCG cards and a few anime cameos again

[hexed fog]

We need pokemon that nest near different types of flowers

[finite salmon]

I could see that being a theme for oricorio fusions

[willow venture]

It's also worth noting like

Uri Geller is a magician technically but for a long time (even now really) magicians hate his ass for one simple reason

Because he claims he's actually just straight up psychic/has supernatural powers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD7OgAdCObs

Which is why this video is awesome cuz the late night show host hates his guts (he's an amateur magician himself/loves the arts) and he worked with a famous skeptic/psychic buster to expose Uri Geller

[proud cosmos]

There should be a sorting filter on the fusiondex website that lets you see what sprites have or dont have dex entries

[storm light]

That'd be nice, but ahaving the icon on the pic does help a lot

[willow venture]

I think a mon having an icon when they have an entry is enough of a filter

[rich goblet]

Give me 10 entries that have Pokémon showing up in TV shows

[willow venture]

I think what you wanna ask is more "there should be a toggleable filter that gives us mons without entries"

[chilly bloom]

it's something I'm looking to add with the ability to see all sprites (as opposed to one sprite per Pokémon)

[unkempt plinth]

Infinitedummies tools do not help for find random sprite of specific pokemon without dex entries ?

[hexed fog]

Yea thats already a feature in infinitedummies.fr

[proud cosmos]

ooooh

neat

thatll be helpful

[thorny turtle]

Where do I go if I have a misnumbered dex entry? I'm realizing that a few of the ones I did are pointing at the wrong mon

[mint walrus]

#477.254 - Lurantis/Ambipom

POKENAME are usually found bathing in the sun amongst the treetops. They are very cheeky Pokémon, and will often poke each other with their cactus spines.

any feedback?

[hexed fog]

I like it

[mint walrus]

#288.477a - Gallade/Lurantis

The bright colours of POKENAME's body match its tropical rainforest environment. POKENAME's eyes can see much further compared to other Pokémon.

#477.63 - Lurantis/Abra

POKENAME are very lazy and they can often be found taking a nap under the sun. They are easily started and will quickly teleport away if frightened.

[azure wagon]

April Dex-Challenge Day 9: Baby Pokemon 🚼

Magwick #240.365
POKENAME are often found resting around lava lakes. Ancient cultures once believed them to be nature spirits that guarded volcanoes.

[crimson ledge]

#custom-dex-errors

[mint walrus]

#556.477 - Tropius/Lurantis

POKENAME can be found in large groups together, especially around banana plantations. They use their banana shaped blades to reach higher up bananas.

[hollow quartz]

I glanced at discord and saw that sprite and my first thought was: "Man, if only it could learn a move called Banana Split." for the sake of a compounded pun

In seriousness though, I am confused about the "banana shaped wings" since the leaves are closer to being wings while the most noticeable bananas are the "blades"

[mint walrus]

yeah thats a good point my bad LOL

ur sprite is so cool btw i really love the massive banana

[hollow quartz]

Well it's not my sprite--I am definitely not capable of decent enough art, let alone sprites LOL

I just happened to glance over while I was writing and saw that one

[mint walrus]

oh whoops i misread ur mesasge

this is my sign to go to bed

[hollow quartz]

Also I think that revision works better now

[final briar]

I am late and must catch up
April Dexchallenge day 5: Bnuy
Spinpin 541.479
It wildly dances and totters around during battle, occasionally leading it to fall. Luckily, the thick shell covering its head protects it from most harm.

April Dexchallenge day 6: "Festive"
Cleftom #35.358
POKENAME loves to play with people and pokemon alike at festive summer events, surrounded by food stalls and fireworks. It is rumored that if this Pokémon takes a shine to you, untold riches could be yours.

I might need a less clunky way of saying that last phrase. Or is it okay?

[keen kestrel]

What do you mean about the secret form?

Like a different form visually? That is usually what form implies in pokemon

[final briar]

April Dexchallenge day 7: Grass Type
Skiptu
188.178
This triplet pokemon never separates, as each one has its purpose in the tower. The bottom provides strength. The middle provides mobility through flight. Lastly, the top has a cute, chatty disposition that endears it to other pokemon.

I wanted to have this guy be a group pokemon like Dugtrio or Magneton, but have each piece doing a different thing. too wordy?

[final briar]

referring to the shiny version of the casino slots game. gives you all the coins
or would this alt be a different pokemon entirely?

me: seasons! Oh boy I'll do a sawsbuck
forgets sawsbuck not in game yet 🙁

it's okay haha I just forgor sometimes

[keen kestrel]

i guess referring to a different sprite is just confusing, if the special version gives more coins then you might as well save that for the dex entry of the shiny one. each sprite gets its own entry.
However, shiny alts aren't really allowed anymore, so that sprite might get removed at some point anyway

[final briar]

April Dexchallenge day 8: "Season"
Maghorn 126.111
This Pokémon resides in arid mountain regions. During the dry season, wildfires can be easily spread by a herd moving through the land.

[final briar]

I can change it for sure

[keen kestrel]

otherwise i did like everything about the entry

[final briar]

I fixed it to just talking about this version of the pkmn

[narrow cosmos]

Entries are getting reviewed quick these days, our backlog on the doc hasn't been too huge in a while.

[rich goblet]

You'll never guess why

[narrow cosmos]

I have an inkling.

When did splatoon become a factor?

[rancid sun]

I've got two out of six/seven (DON'T MAKE THAT JOKE) entries submitted

Double fused Mankey
Pumpkaboo/Sandshrew

Checked, I also had one for Wigglytuff/Piloswine

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Altaria

This got denied for "FAQ 9 - whole species" but that was the intention. Any mother, father and child can sing and bring people to tears. I don't think it's unrealistic?

POKENAME copy the sounds of other POKENAME. A trio of a mother, father and baby POKENAME singing in such beautiful unison it is known to make observers cry. POKENAME collect these tears, to keep their skin from drying out.

[rancid sun]

Yeah it's only 3 members

[proud cosmos]

Although POKENAME is incredibly powerful, it is surprisingly passive. It can sometimes be found handing flowers to small children who stumble upon it.

Anything i need to add/improve?

[rich goblet]

Let me look into this, I'll give you feedback afterwards

[rancid sun]

WOuldn't it more sense for the child Wooaria to be a Wooblu?

[rich goblet]

POKENAME copy the sounds of other POKENAME. POKENAME and their offspring can be found singing in such beautiful unison that it is known to make observers cry. POKENAME collect these tears to keep their skin from drying out.

@rugged socket These edits fix the issue, along with grammatical fixes, You will need to resubmit but let me know if you have any issues with this

EDIT: The reason why I denied the previous entry was because it was too specific to the mother/father/child trio. By expanding to offspring, it is able to be generalized to the whole species

[storm light]

Vulpix/Vibrava #37.393 (You know what the name is )
POKENAME's wings are still growing, so they spend most of their time underground. Tunnels dug by POKENAME radiate heat and are thus a good indicator of where they have been. When threatened, they whip up fiery Sand Tombs to cover their escape.

Wanna try and find other unfortunately named Pokemon and give them an entry

[rancid sun]

What's so bad abo- Oh.

[storm light]

This one is definitely in need of an entry, but how the fuck https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/388.285a/

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/shinx+skitty/ There's also this Donphan in the room

[storm light]

I already gave it an entry

Like a few motnhs ago

[rancid sun]

Yeah, but I wanted to show it 🤣

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge day 9!
Magtata #240.19
POKENAME's fiery stomachs let them eat almost anything, leading them to forage through trash for food. Hot embers constantly dribble from their mouths, often causing dumpster fires wherever they go.

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/glalie+ekans/ Speaking of

But it's only got a Japeal sprite atm so nothin' doin'

[storm light]

Yeah we'd have ot wait for a sprite to be made and put in

[rancid sun]

Yes I did check that fusion just to see if the name was that lol

That's the trouble with name splicing

[hoary totem]

an entry i submitted was denied because it had 'no sprite' even though it did, and the png name is correct, do I appeal in #custom-dex-errors ?

[storm light]

Is the sprite available on any of the calculators?

?tag calcs

[upper loom]

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

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

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

[hoary totem]

yes

[storm light]

then yeah, toss a report in dex errors

[hoary totem]

k

thx

[shy portal]

dont forget vibrava/exeggutor

[storm light]

Oh yeah

[rich goblet]

Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, I would like to suggest adding more about the Raichu half of the fusion, it is not clear based on the entry at the moment.

[storm light]

Vibrava/Exeggutor #393.103
POKENAME's heads communicate with one another through a unique series of vibrations sent through the leaves on their head. If the heads try to talk over each other, the vibrations become more intense. They are a common sight in tropical deserts.

[proud cosmos]

Shoot
I didnt get any feedback so i just assumed it was good is it too much to ask for you to put in an error in custom-dex-errors while i resubmit?

[rich goblet]

Well hold on, let's get a working entry before we do anything

[proud cosmos]

thats smart

[rich goblet]

Although POKENAME is incredibly powerful, it is surprisingly passive. It can sometimes be found handing flowers to small children who stumble upon it.

This is your entry right? The fastest fix would be something like:

Although POKENAME's shocks are incredibly powerful, it is surprisingly passive. It can sometimes be found handing flowers to small children who stumble upon it.

Just a few adjustments gives a subtle nod to the Raichu half you know? You don't have to devote a whole sentence to it

[proud cosmos]

Hows this:

Although a POKENAME's shocks can be incredibly powerful, it is surprisingly passive. It can sometimes be found handing flowers to small children who stumble upon it.

[willow venture]

I don't think you really need to add the "a" but it's fine

[proud cosmos]

Although POKENAME's shocks can be incredibly powerful, it is surprisingly passive. It can sometimes be found handing flowers to small children who stumble upon it.

Good?

[rich goblet]

This is good to go, I'll mark the old one as rejected on request and it is otherwise good to go

[proud cosmos]

do i submit another form for it?

[rich goblet]

Yup

[proud cosmos]

okay thank you

I beleive this is my 6th raichu entry lol

[rich goblet]

In the future, you want to try to balance both sides of the Pokémon in the entry

It is meant to represent a fusion, not just one Pokémon, you know?

[proud cosmos]

yeah that makes sense

my thinking process was that alolan raichu is passive based on the pokedex entry i read, so i put it in but now i realize that doesnt make much sense since nobody really knows that

[rich goblet]

Your entries also are close to the bottom limit I find, it is OK to say more about the Pokémon. It is much easier for the Unown team to prune down entries than to fill more stuff in

[hexed fog]

Lets see how many entries yall can get in by Sunday night

[thorn ingot]

-100000

[hexed fog]

Preferably hoenn pokemon

The more the better just saying

[hexed fog]

Especially ones that have to do with the starters please

[storm light]

I wonder why Izik wants us to get these done

[hexed fog]

Who knows

[storm light]

Alright time to get typin

https://giphy.com/gifs/XIqCQx02E1U9W

[storm light]

mmm how do we feel about this one?

Grobusken #277.280
POKENAME sometimes thrash their arms and legs when sleeping. It's thought they may be training or fighting opponents in their dreams when this happens. Their Leaf Blade attacks are strong enough to cut through thick tree trunks.

I figured we don't get enough sleeping habit entries so i thought i'd try

also alliteration x4 combo

[willow venture]

What if it's the Hoenn Pokemon already existing before Hoenn PIF

[dusty hound]

Hoenn entries
H = Hitmontop
Hoenn entries = Hitmontop entries

[calm storm]

deoxys:

[willow venture]

Yeah that includes Deoxys fusions sadly

Or Clefable fusions

But don't worry there's always the "it is said" or any other such subjective qualifiers

[calm storm]

i mean

deoxys

LITERALLY

comes from space

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-deoxys-meteor-gif-26979134

i would say it's the exception

[keen kestrel]

well this is what it says specifically

it didn't say outer space isn't allowed, you just can't say that humans have discovered things living their lives on the moon

which is consistent with pokemon lore

[azure wagon]

Aprix Dexchallenge Day 10: "Grow" 🪴

Baron #395.391
POKENAME grows stronger by recklessly charging at anything it perceives as a threat. The thick scales that run across its back shine like polished stones.

[random dust]

Azumaking #184.309

POKENAME resembles the Easter bunny but a lazy big buffoon and sits idly tending its home. It can use its powerful tail to send massive waves and knockout any opponents.

[rich goblet]

References to the Easter Bunny are not allowed in the entry, the Easter Bunny does not exist in PIF

[strong flame]

So I've never written one of these before, but I've been thinking of one for one of my own sprites.

With its two hearts, POKENAME does not need to keep bouncing to survive. However, this is a moot point, as it is physically unable to stop itself from bouncing.

does that track?

[random dust]

Ok

I will rewrite it soon.

POKENAME spends its day defending its home through intimidation of its huge power. It can use its powerful tail to send massive waves and knockout any opponents.

[rich goblet]

Let me check the lore book

[random dust]

Wdu mean?

[rich goblet]

Wait no

@random dust I’m a little confused, are you referring to the ability Huge Power here? What does it have to do with intimidation

[random dust]

Yes

Because of its huge power and hulking design other Pokémon are wary of and fear it

[simple lynx]

I forgot about this

[random dust]

Wdu mean?

[simple lynx]

I used to make entries months ago

[rich goblet]

POKENAME spends all day defending its home, as the might of its Huge Power ability scares others into submission. It can use its powerful tail to send massive waves and knock out its opponents.

[rich goblet]

I would typically avoid using Move Names and Abilities because they have to be capitalized when in an entry

But I decided to help fix yours up

[random dust]

Aight, thx.

[rich goblet]

This entry relies a lot on already knowing that Spoink need to bounce, and I’m not sure the best way to rephrase it

I’ll get back to this once I’m off the bus

[strong flame]

Ah, yeah, I hadn't considered that.

[hollow quartz]

"With its two hearts, POKENAME could survive without moving. This point is moot, however, as it is perpetually moving." is one thing that came to mind, to remove the bouncing specifically.
Alternatively what came to mind was:
"Because it is perpetually moving, it was thought that immobility would harm POKENAME. It was discovered that its two hearts ensure it remains healthy if it somehow ceases to move."

[storm light]

Any thoughts on this entry before I submit?

[hollow quartz]

I think it works well, and makes for a funny image/scene as well

[rich goblet]

I gave it a post-it emoji 😄

Infinex gives you a few good options, just ping me for feedback once you decide on a version

[strong flame]

I'd prefer the former, as I'd like the fact that it's unable to stop moving to be the punchline.

[hollow quartz]

Understandable

[strong flame]

Maybe it could start with "Unlike a regular Spoink..."

[rich goblet]

With its two hearts, POKENAME could survive without moving. This point is moot, however, as it is perpetually bouncing.

<@&1210701164426039366> Is this entry too punchy/joke-like? I'm having a hard time rewriting an entry for a sprite artist 😱

[hollow nimbus]

Survive without moving? Like it doesn't need to go find food and water?

[rich goblet]

That is a very good point

#dex-entries-discussion message

@hollow nimbus This was the original entry, and I thought it relied on too much knowledge on Spoink to be considered standalone, maybe you could help rephrase it? 🙏

[hollow nimbus]

All you need to do is write out the missing context

[rich goblet]

Oh... OH

[hollow nimbus]

"While unfused Spoink must continue bouncing to live, POKENAME" etc.
For example

[rich goblet]

I forget I can WRITE, how dare I

While unfused Spoink must continue bouncing to live, a fused POKENAME have two hearts and can survive without bouncing. This is a moot point, however, as POKENAME are constantly bouncing.

@strong flame If you like this entry, go ahead and submit it. If you're lucky I'll even expedite the approval

[storm light]

Nah, Unowns can only guide us to a treasure they themselves cannot possess

[hollow quartz]

lore accurate unown

[storm light]

you know, I do kinda want to see some more entries about fusion sleep habits

[strong flame]

would it makes sense to write "Fused POKENAME", seeing as its name would just be 'Spoink'.

[rich goblet]

You are right, I almost forgot that

[strong flame]

And I'm really not fond of "are always bouncing", that implies that they have a choice in the matter.

[rich goblet]

Constantly?

[strong flame]

the whole idea of the entry was along the lines of "unable to stop bouncing"

[rich goblet]

I recall

[strong flame]

so
While unfused Spoink must continue bouncing to live, a fused POKENAME has two hearts and can survive without bouncing. This is a moot point, however, as fused POKENAME are unable to keep themselves from bouncing.

does that work?

also, grammar error, 'has' after the the first POKENAME

[rich goblet]

One second

[rich goblet]

This works! Go ahead and send the entry

[strong flame]

okay, so next question

where I do that

[rich goblet]

You can find it at the bottom of the pinned messages or in #dex-entries-submissions

You will need your discord username, djoing
You will need the sprite number, 539.539a.png
You will need your entry, While unfused Spoink must continue bouncing to live, a fused POKENAME has two hearts and can survive without bouncing. This is a moot point, however, as fused POKENAME are unable to keep themselves from bouncing.

[strong flame]

alright, it's sent.

[rich goblet]

Since this is a spriter's entry I just went ahead and approved it

[strong flame]

Now I can say I've written at least one entry, just as I can say I've done one custom outfit.

[rich goblet]

Yay!

[dusty hound]

April Dexchallenge day 8-10

During the sunny seasons, POKENAME's petals will grow and bloom to their fullest. With every step, the petals shakes releasing heavy clouds of toxic pollen. POKENAME will use its powerful kicks to disperse the pollen over a large area  ``` 

``` Tynx #236.124
POKENAME will deceive their opponents, using dance-like patterns to confuse its opponents. Before thee opponent can react POKENAME will suddenly turn these movements into swift unpredictable attacks.  ```  

```Hitmondos #106.168
POKENAME's feet are equipped with large claws this allows it to latch onto prey from afar using its stretchy legs. POKENAME will attach its prey with silk before letting them go, later tracking them down as its excitement for capturing grows```

Hitmondos is the one im most iffy on cause of the grammar any feedback would be greatly appreciated

[rich goblet]

If you make the sprite and make an entry you get first dibs, but the entry still needs to fit the rules

[proud cosmos]

how did you see that

i knew that

[rich goblet]

Lag

[proud cosmos]

i didnt realize it was his sprite

[strong flame]

Well, you need punctuation after 'claws' on Hitmondos

[rich goblet]

I’ll be back in a bit, don’t burn the place down

[final briar]

April Dexchallenge Day 9: Baby Pokemon
Bonsian 257.53
POKENAME is very skilled in manipulating humans into giving them extra treats. It sadly looks at them with tears in its eyes, and if that doesn't work, it gives demanding, noisy yowls.

[rich goblet]

I keep forgetting Bonsly is a crybaby and was about to say something about it

[final briar]

yes, bonsly is a crybaby haha

April Dexchallenge Day 10: "Grow"
Weetile 110.278
This poisonous Pokémon can be found in the landfills outside sprawling cities. It frequently has turf wars with Garbodor. The growth on its tail is used to watch behind it for enemies.

is this too much info for one entry?

[rich goblet]

@willow venture
Want a few Sylveon ideas to play with? I feel lazy and don't want to write any but I came up with a few ideas that could be incorporated recently

[rich goblet]

180 characters, pretty solid. I say send it and I'll fix it up tomorrow

[willow venture]

Give it I suppose @rich goblet

[rich goblet]

You should do a few entries where the fusion acts like a service animal. From mobility aid to emotional support, Sylveon is pretty good for the job

I would love to see these entries since you like Sylveon a lot

[rancid sun]

I had an idea involving Luxray, but both fusions already have entries

Something involving its x-ray vision to find something wrong with its trainer, and massaging or doing the Heimlich to help alleviate the problem

[rich goblet]

Let me find one for you, I’m sure you could do one about medical x rays

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

@rancid sun

Found one

[rancid sun]

Ooooooh

I had that idea as a spin on the fact service dogs can find something wrong with their owners just by sniffing them

[rich goblet]

This would be a different one, maybe a growlithe

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/nosepass+sylveon/

[rancid sun]

Makes sense

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/growlithe+luxio/ try this

[rancid sun]

Shame both the Growlithe/Nosepass fusions are Japeal

[rancid sun]

Interesting

[rich goblet]

Yeah, gotta beg a spriter to make one

[rancid sun]

Submitted!

[rich goblet]

I’ll probably get to it tomorrow on the usual sweep of entries, it’s late where I’m at

Though, I might take a peek if I feel like it

[rancid sun]

OK

Same here, I'd make concept art for the Noselithe fusion if it wasn't so late

[willow venture]

Sylveon/Bellossom (339.182a by vivioclover)
In urban areas, POKENAME is known for being a mobility aid or emotional supporter Pokemon for old and disabled people. With their Sweet Scent and Cute Charm, they are well-known in the caretaker industry.

Might not be the best writing I did lmao

[rich goblet]

I would lean in on the emotional support pet and describe how they calm people with anxiety attacks

https://tenor.com/bUkXO.gif

[willow venture]

In urban areas, POKENAME is known for being an emotional supporter Pokemon for old and disabled people. With their Sweet Scent and Cute Charm, they calm people down whenever they have a negative emotional outburst, particularly during panic or anxiety attacks.

There we go

[rich goblet]

Send it, I'll fix up the Pokemon e along with other small fixes

[unkempt plinth]

Entries updated on infinitedummies, incase.

[iron mango]

I already did this one a while back but I havent made any updates on it so here we go again:

POKENAME are artificial pokémon that are created to keep their distance and wave at trainers that pass by. You can wave back, however do not approach as its body can reach very high temperatures.

[rancid sun]

I understood that reference

[strong flame]

occasionally I gbet the desire to give feedback on the design of the sprites in here, but catch myself before doing so

[rich goblet]

@cosmic hornet

I wanted to ask about the following entry, as it raised a few red flags when we were going through entries:

349.162.png The entire length of its body is akin to a jet engine. The flames POKENAME emits from its tail can melt skyscrapers down into a flowing river of liquid metal in just under an hour.

What was the inspiration behind this one? Mentioning jet engines and melting skyscrapers in the next sentence raised concerns about alluding to an event that is not canon to the game.

[hollow nimbus]

-# Specifically, about alluding to an event that would be considered sensitive content

We just wanted to see what your inspiration was for this, and if possible, find a way to word it that won't accidentally allude to sensitive topics

[rich goblet]

@final briar
EDIT: Disregard, sorry for the ping

[rich goblet]

Geeze there's been a lot of bots lately

[delicate cargo]

April Dexchallenge days 10 and 11 combined into one!

Castform #553.554
POKENAME's head glows with a warm and radiant light, giving the water around them a beautiful orange color. The two combined create gorgeous rainbows wherever they go, which grow brighter and more vibrant the happier they are.

[hollow quartz]

this one's giving me "sus stare" vibes

[acoustic scarab]

I was wondering why I kept getting told this was 'unread' when there were no new posts

[acoustic scarab]

they're just tired of dealing with other Pokémon

"Gimme a break, I've not evolved yet and it's too early in the morning"

[rich goblet]

Tired of dealing with a Trainer fusing all day and never getting gym badges

[hollow quartz]

reminds me of an emote I have:

-# (extra appropriate since coffee mug)

[acoustic scarab]

part of me wants to get nitro so I can use the emotes where I want to

but also

I don't wanna give Discord money XD

[hollow quartz]

Fair

I do it for the emotes, which help me communicate often enough when words fail me

[acoustic scarab]

yeah

there's some good ones that I wish I had access to

well, outside of the servers I use them on

but I don't wish that enough to pay actual money to do so

[hollow quartz]

yyyeah

[iron mango]

Just making sure this is a valid dex entry?

[acoustic scarab]

I'm always pleasantly surprised to find Fennekin fusions

feels like there aren't that many sprites for the Fennekin line

[iron mango]

Is this in regard to my sprite?

[hollow quartz]

compared to its evolutions, I figure fennekin has less "potential" in some eyes for sprites, since Braixen and Delphox have the whole "magic user" vibe while Fennekin is just a twig-munchin' fire fox

[acoustic scarab]

Braixen feels like it has even less tbf

and Delphox has the Gardevoir problem, where there's a tonne with Delphox as the body, but few as the head

[hollow quartz]

oh i forgot, I haven't looked into them much LOL

[acoustic scarab]

well, Gardevoir has more now

[hollow quartz]

and yeah, the body thing doesn't surprise me

[acoustic scarab]

but the body is definitely the preferred one

also, just the nature of how I do my entries, I don't get to see Fennekin very often, and I'm usually restricted with weird combos

like, turns out there's a Fennekin/Nidorino sprite

which I would've assumed wasn't there

[hollow quartz]

yeah, i getcha

[acoustic scarab]

and it's the only one in that combo that does have a fusion

so I'm curious why? XD

but also

it's fine for this run, I get to write something for it

[hollow quartz]

[acoustic scarab]

no Braixen/Nidorino though, and Delphox/Nidorino only has it as Nidorino/Delphox

which kinda messes with my challenge rules

so I probably won't be doing Delphox/Nidorino?

just strange seeing what does and doesn't get sprite attention sometimes

[hollow quartz]

yeah i feel that--i get surprised when i come across a custom sprite in the middle of non customs for the rest of the line

[acoustic scarab]

yeah

just

why Nidorino? XD

it works for me for this specific run

but why? XD

[iron mango]

Hey fellas please dont go off topic in this channel

Wait I missed context

Or was it

[acoustic scarab]

yeah, it's fusions I'm writing for

and, like, I use my runs to inspire my writing

but it's kinda writing adjacent

so the warning is maybe warranted

[iron mango]

I see. Well just keep it in mind

[storm light]

I should probably do another dex run but man, I'm a little burnt out on the story lmao

[iron mango]

Use /skip story

Trust

[storm light]

[acoustic scarab]

see, the writing is what keeps me doing them

or did until slay the spire released (I've slowed waaayyy down now), just a fun way to get a bunch of entries for a specific mon cranked out

[rich goblet]

Slay the Spire 2 is such a good game though so it makes sense

[acoustic scarab]

yuuup

and I'm a sucker for card games and roguelikes

I was doomed from the start

._.

while we're talking Nidorinos, trying to think of a way for wax to reference toxins (because Poison Point), but, like, wax isn't a good medium for getting toxins into something. Debating going along the lines of 'they shake their heads vigorously to splatter wax that then [something something something]'...

('we're talking Nidorinos' like I'm not the only one doing so)

Litwick drain lifeforce

[storm light]

The wax contains a mild poison that saps the strength of those it lands on

[acoustic scarab]

so mayb something using that

[acoustic scarab]

yeah

like a contact toxin

[storm light]

you dont have to say how, just that it does. Pokemon logic

[acoustic scarab]

maybe 'something something' absorbs said life force 'something something'

[rich goblet]

POKENAME venom is too thick to circulate through a person's body, but its intense heat still saps energy from blah blah

I dunno brain kinda fried right now

[acoustic scarab]

not a fire type tho

don't wanna reference heat here

[storm light]

You can still make a nod to it since Litwick is

[acoustic scarab]

yeah, I know

but I'd rather not

ghosts get a bit of wiggle room imo on that kinda thing

spirit lights

[rich goblet]

POKENAME venom is too thick to circulate through a person's body, but prolonged contact creates a hex that siphons life force

something like that

[acoustic scarab]

'Why's the wax melting if it's not a fire type?' 'Ghost stuff'

maybe something like 'As the wax cools on skin it draws out life energy'

though that's then stepping away from toxin again

maybe some kind of numbing toxin

[rich goblet]

it wicks out the life force like a candle

[acoustic scarab]

I did a numbing poison for a swirlix/nidorino earlier

[rich goblet]

Wicks is a funny word

[acoustic scarab]

yeah

[rich goblet]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wick

[acoustic scarab]

I just finished watching a review of 'Wake Up Dead Man' so Wicks makes me think of that right now XD

[rich goblet]

I know it does

That’s part of why it is funny

[acoustic scarab]

I like the idea of the wax cooling being tied to drawing out life force

shakes head, splatters wax, oops now my life is shorter

whoops, Pokéworld kinda sucks

something like that

[hollow quartz]

"The wax of POKENAME is a severe irritant that saps the afflicted of their strength. As the wax* cools, it seems to draw out even more of one's very life force." is what first came to my mind

[rich goblet]

As the wax cools, it draws out life force from their target until it hardens? Or something

[acoustic scarab]

wax being an irritant doesn't work too well in my mind, might go the opposite way and say it's an anaethetic

uhh

spelling

anaesthetic

that way it isn't noticed

and draws out more

[hollow quartz]

irritant is what came to mind with the idea of a contact toxin, hence me using it

[acoustic scarab]

yeah, for sure

[hollow quartz]

but i getcha

[acoustic scarab]

just doesn't jive with wax specifically for me

[rich goblet]

Honestly saying it wicks out life force would be cool because the person becomes a candle

[acoustic scarab]

yikes

[rich goblet]

Did I say something wrong?

[acoustic scarab]

no, jsut

scary concept

[rich goblet]

Oooooh

[acoustic scarab]

RIP trainer

[hollow quartz]

i think--yeah, just a scary image to be had LOL

[rich goblet]

It isn’t instant

Just a little bit of life force

As a treat

[acoustic scarab]

why yes, that does make it better, thankyou 😛

[hollow quartz]

though it does also incite the image, in my mind, that if one gets riled up by the wax that it could cool quicker because by getting riled up, even more of their life force basically "burns out"

[acoustic scarab]

I'm glad that my transformation into a living candle is something that is drawn out

what a wonderful idea 😛

[hollow quartz]

where's the litwick/camerupt fusion that erupts with wax from its humps to encase others and drain them of their life force (the idea of living candles made me think of this image)

[rich goblet]

Honestly we need more living candle entries for the litwick series

[acoustic scarab]

POKENAME shake their head vigorously to splatter their wax onto as many living things as they can. The wax has a numbing property making it hard to notice its presence, wicking away the life force of those unfortunate enough to be struck as it cools.

there we go

[hollow quartz]

the idea of some litwick fusions using their own wax to basically "snare" prey i imagine is rather unused in the broad scheme of things

[acoustic scarab]

give me... 332 more runs and I'll be on Litwick

god I wish Litwick evolved at any reasonable level ._.

the line has such pretty sprites to write for, but they're impossible to use in game outside of, like, the first two gyms

been debating looking at what sprites the NPC teams use and just writing for those as well, but that seems like a whole other long project

and less fulfilling since I don't even get to use their mons

just while I'm feeling chatty too, curious where people draw inspo. from sometimes, like... For Whirlipede/Nidorino I was looking at it and the mouth just made me think of Platybelodon, so leaned into the big, weird mouth aspect

[narrow cosmos]

Goodness these Sylveon bodies are proving a lot harder to nudge out than the heads were.

[acoustic scarab]

I think the difficulty when you're doing the same body over and over is finding something new to say

[narrow cosmos]

I take breaks, but compared to how I could bust out the heads a lot easier, there is something to it. Adding Sylveon ribbons onto another body and basically making gentler/kinder/etc. versions of the other fusion proved fairly easy, but adding another Pokemon's features onto Sylveon sometimes, appearance-wise, makes it more difficult to reason that sort of thing.

(Not to mention I don't want to just repeat the same idea if I get two sides of the same fusion, but I rarely remember my own entries so I've probably already done that. )

[acoustic scarab]

I definitely find some bodies easier to write for than others

I feel like I'm hitting the same themes a lot with the two nido's

[strong flame]

I was gonna say the outlines felt a smidge too light on that snail, yeah.

But it's not that big of a deal

[dusty hound]

For the April Dexchallenge I’m fully blanking on what to write for Rainy Castform

[delicate cargo]

Alot of the castform bodies seem like nightmares to write for

[dusty hound]

im trying to think of one for Hitmonchan / Rainy Castfrom but I legit got nothing

[severe scroll]

I'd like some opinions on this dex entry for Cactoed (458.186):
POKENAME are found ruling over desert oasis, unleashing cries that let other Pokémon know that the area is protected. The larger the flower on its head and scythe, the more influence it has over the area.

(Cacturne/Politoed)

I was also considering changing half of it to include some sort of info about how the flower on its head shows influence, and the flower on the scythe shows how many lives it's taken.

POKENAME are found ruling over a desert oasis. The bigger the flower on their head, the more influence they have; the larger the flower on the scythe, the more lives it has reaped from souls lost in the desert.

[rich goblet]

Since you're using it/its pronouns for the fusion, it would go something like this:

POKENAME can be found ruling over desert oases, unleashing cries to let other Pokémon know that the area is protected. The larger the flower on its head, the greater its area of influence.

Something like that?

[severe scroll]

Sounds good, but should I include more from Cacturne's side?

Other than the desert mention.

[rich goblet]

You do not have to be explicit in mentioning both sides if it is difficult, the desert nod is enough.

[severe scroll]

Alright. I'm glad it sounds good!

[severe scroll]

Okay, another fun one. The art for this was too good. Drifllery (Drifloon/Octillery) 402.224
Using their natural balloon bodies with their impressive strength, POKENAME have been seen pulling garbage from the oceans with strings and dropping them back on land. Sailors have witnessed POKENAME using ink to move through the air.

It's a little wordy, so criticism is welcomed.

Here's one for the reverse, Octiloon (Octillery/Drifloon) 224.402
To protect itself, POKENAME will eject ink from its mouth to stun the attacker and launch itself away. Children have been known to get inked after grabbing POKENAME's strings.

I think this one is hilarious!

[rich goblet]

dropping it back on land

since it is refering to the garbage

[rich goblet]

This one is fine

[severe scroll]

@rich goblet Can I ask a quick question about reporting a sprite?

[rich goblet]

#1052360360172199977 Is the channel, I think there's a pinned message you read

[severe scroll]

If I need to report a sprite icon, do i report it to #1052360360172199977 ?

[rich goblet]

Yes the sprite is the image, all errors go there

[severe scroll]

Thank you

[rich goblet]

There's an FAQ in the channel, read it and you should be set

[hearty sun]

Ducky, for icons specifically, send people to #tech-support first please

[rich goblet]

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know that

[hearty sun]

All good, just a reminder

[azure wagon]

April Dexchallenge: Rainy Castform 🌧️

Castxys #554.380
When POKENAME descends from the atmosphere, its presence causes rain to behave unnaturally. Witnesses report seeing rain falling upward or suddenly stopping without warning.

[severe scroll]

Here's another suggestion for Corsola/Clefairy (222.35)
POKENAME's branches, unlike their unfused counterparts, glitter fantastically under the moonlight. Cities in the southern seas hold festivals on nights of the full moon when these Pokémon come out to dance on the beach.

[rich goblet]

You're really good at making entries, I hope to see more from you in the future

Always nice to see a new writer

[severe scroll]

Thank you! I've been just playing around and evolving Pokémon in my game to fill out more of the Pokedex. If I see one that I love without an entry, I'll suggest an entry for it. ❤️

[rich goblet]

You can fill out the form yourself you know, it's always good to attribute it to the right person

[severe scroll]

Right! I'll do that now. Got distracted. 😅

[strong flame]

Ohey, that's one of mine

I'm seeing popout on the legs now

[severe scroll]

Done! I just did the three mentioned here.

I'm so happy to see people enjoy my little writings! I don't get to post what I write often.

So thank you!

[storm light]

Genuienly feel free to come back around and post your entries, we love seeing new writers!

[rich goblet]

Just so you all know, I've been judging these on a daily cycle recently but there have been a lot today, so it might take time to be approved.

Also, being approved does not mean it is in game (yet). The updates are done every couple weeks or so!

[severe scroll]

I saw all those entries in the doc. I'm just happy with the five I have. lol

[rich goblet]

@delicate cargo Here is an MVP as of late, lots of fun entries to read while making approvals recently

[severe scroll]

Looking for feedback on this one: Klinkpunny (337.354a)
POKENAME uses electromagnetic energy between the two gears to levitate off the ground. They use their charming appearance to lure in prey before blasting the opponent with its arm cannon.

How do entries work when there are multiple sprites?

Entries are sprite specific

If a letterless sprite has an entry, a sprite with a letter won't or it'll have a different one that someone else wrote

Got it!

You can do multiple entries for the same Pokemon as long as you only do one for each sprite

You can have an entry for 38.38 and 38.38a but not two entries for 38.38

Understood! Thank you for clarifying.

Ive finally gotten around to going through the rest of my previous entries from before I was told to post here, so the sheets currently just a wall of yellow lol. Im glad you've been enjoying my writing though!

Bonus points if you figure out what 'mon i'm referencing without looking it up

Well, Clefairy is 35

So... 38 would be Ninetales

Let's go!

I’m still trying to complete my Pokédex now that snrasha is fixed

[severe scroll]

Where is this list?

@rich goblet Thoughts on this?

[rich goblet]

In #dex-entries-submissions There is a link to a spreadsheet, and in that spreadsheet there is a tab called “Problem Pokemon List”

[hexed fog]

Early route gen 3 combos with starters is also super necessary

[rich goblet]

Left an emoji on it

[hexed fog]

I may shove those in soon

Hmmm

Maybe ill do a Special List soon

[severe scroll]

I'd love to help!

[thorn ingot]

Too many lists

[storm light]

How about you give me an entry for this guy?

[hexed fog]

The problem list will go on hold

[severe scroll]

Let me do 5 minutes of research and I'll reply to it.

Take your time! /gen

I swear, sometimes torchic's eyes on a fusion just give me the immediate thought of "oh you poor suffering creature"

like they're just so small and beady that my mind goes "it looks like it's in SO MUCH pain"
