[rich goblet]

We haven’t had a prompt in a while

[storm light]

Ooo nice

I did bring up a prompt a few days ago but i didnt see anyone do anything for it lol

This one

[rich goblet]

It has been a little slow, I imagine it must be finals or something in school

[storm light]

I've been on a break-ish from entries

[rich goblet]

I’ve noticed, how dare

Joking aside, take as much or as little as you need

[storm light]

To be fair, we got a lot of animals all of a sudden here at home

An untamed horse we're slowly working with, 4 sheep, 6 ducks and 8 chickens

[rich goblet]

That’s a lotta animals

[storm light]

On top of 3 cats and a dog

We've been busy lmao

[rich goblet]

You live on a farm or something

[storm light]

Yes actually

[rich goblet]

Ah, that’s reasonable then

[storm light]

We just moved onto this ranch property in like march

4 of the 8 chickens were also a surprise to both me and my mom, dad bought them for april fool's day

"They just multiplied or somethin!"

[rich goblet]

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/torchic+psyduck/ https://www.fusiondex.org/ponyta+mareep/ https://www.fusiondex.org/mareep+ponyta/
That gave me an idea to search for Pokemon fusions with those animals in

[storm light]

He got an earful because we did not want more chickens but now we're here

Here's the horse. A Mustang mare, 13yo, 16 hands. Sienna Sunrise

[rich goblet]

Purdy lass

[storm light]

Ntm all of these we're trying to work on trust with, I have never actually raised any if these animals (mom has raised horses before so she knows what she's doing with her) so i'm also learning how they function

[soft flicker]

scrables out of the void how y're doing? Trying to get back into writing even if Uni is kicking my butt

Garbador/Porygon-Z
It is common to find a POKENAME living in the waste bin of a computer. It will consume all deleted files it finds in the bin, making it impossible to recover them. The Pokémon prefers corrupted files, which is uncommon for Porygon fusions.

[simple lynx]

From the looks of it, that might be over 250 characters

I haven’t checked the character number

it’s just a guess

[soft flicker]

I think it's like 245, just under 250 definitely

[strong flame]

should there be a hyphen between porygon and fusions?

[simple lynx]

what do you mean?

[strong flame]

"Porygon-fusions", I'm just wondering if it shouldn't just be "Porygon fusions".

I'm not a regular here, just feels weird to me

[simple lynx]

I don’t know

I would think Porygon fusions

but I’m not an expert

[rich goblet]

Firstly, djoing is right, there is no hyphen

Secondly, it is better to say that it is common to find POKENAME etc etc, the double negative feels unnecessary here

[soft flicker]

Thanks for the ping and the corrections! Didn't notice that others had written something about my entry

[rich goblet]

Luvon #501.390

POKENAME may be slow and lumbering, but their heart shaped heads make them adorable waiters for couples who are eating out. The only downside to having them as waiters is that they eat used cutlery if given the opportunity.

Look at them

Baby

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/ralts+wingull/ Any ideas?

[rich goblet]

Copius refers to something of large quantity, common means something is typical or normal

You want common in this instance

Also, POKENAME is often, because it is at the start of the sentence

[rancid sun]

I was struggling to find the right word

No idea why my brain didn't say common lol

I added the is after I took this screenshot

English is my first language and I live in an English-speaking country why do I suck at this lol

[rich goblet]

It's fine, just be willing to learn and its all good

[strong flame]

I feel like it's a little stiff

could maybe be more like 'where there is plenty of happiness and contentment'

[rich goblet]

You’re doing good by the way, I appreciate the entries you’ve written

[rancid sun]

Thank you

[fathom narwhal]

Dugbok - #51.24

POKENAME ambush their prey stranded in deserts from underground, each triplet working together to strangle them with terrifying strength.

^ this good? wanna get into contributing to dex entries

[uneven heart]

Misloom #255.355

With its mocking visage and murmured invectives spoken under its breath, it sends most foes into a fury before striking with unseen punches. This Pokémon is deceptive to all except its Trainer.

I'm going through some other entries, but at the same time I'm also considering throwing my hat into spriting some of the fusions as well.

[fathom narwhal]

yes me as well
im looking through meganium fusions right now and im surprised that there are a lot that haven't been done yet

[uneven heart]

I'm just having a hard time picking one base Pokémon to start with... Wigglytuff and Mismagius are a couple I'm heavily considering right now

[rich goblet]

Looks fine to me!

[rich goblet]

You can remove most from most foes and it would sound more certain, while optional I would suggest making that change

It's like saying "Most doctors recommend eating apples" versus "Doctors recommend eating apples", the first one conveys some sort of doubt.

[uneven heart]

Got it, thanks for the tip

[rancid sun]

Punctuation and grammar is important

Let's eat grandma and all that

[rich goblet]

Very important

[severe scroll]

Hello Dex Writers!

I've been under the weather, but I'm back and ready to continue writing!

[uneven heart]

Glad to hear~

[rich goblet]

This isn’t a job, you’re allowed time off, I definitely know I need some sometimes

Take as much time as you need

Or else

[severe scroll]

Alright, got some entries. Want to have them reviewed before posting.

Inferziken (321.281)
In battle, this Pokémon's martial arts attacks will always be paired with scorching fire. POKENAME prefer to use their incredible legs to deliver devastating blows to opponents. The more combat experience they have, the more vibrant its face mask.

Torchchar (279.319)
POKENAME must monitor its internal heat and expel fire regularly. If the heat in its body becomes too hot, pressure will build in its head. If the pressure becomes too great, POKENAME will pass out; its body will expel the flames while it sleeps.

Comferno (280.320)
POKENAME are vigilant fighters, prized for their speed and strength. The POKENAME with the fastest kicks and brightest tail are acknowledged in their group as the strongest of their species.

Blachar (281.319)
POKENAME live in the mountains and use their dexterity to scale the cliffs and crags. While they strive to be independent, they are found following their parents as they learn the terrain and practice their combat skills.

Blanape (281.321)
Hot headed, both literally and figuratively, these defensive Pokémon will combat any threats it senses near its home. Using a low stance, POKENAME will use its momentum to send foes flying with an impressive Sky Uppercut.

Blanape (281.321a)
POKENAME create nests in mountains with harsh terrain where they can use their agility to maneuver the area while keeping their young safe. While predator's struggle to get through the mountain range, POKENAME can easily pounce and attack.

This is the rest of the Torchic line/Chimchar line fusions.

Ey! We reached 60k submitted entries!!

[hazy berry]

There are some beautiful sprites with no dex entry. It's sad. I want to help change that!

[rich goblet]

Welcome! I recommend going through the materials in the pinned posts and posting drafts here for a bit so you get the general vibe we are after.

[slender mural]

hey is there a specific program or website to design a sprite for infinite fusion?

[hazy berry]

Thank you. I am making sure to study and review everything from this channel and reading over all the rules for everything. This community has made some extremely creative and alluring sprites that just don't have a Pokedex description. I don't think it's a bad thing that this is the case. It makes me feel like a trainer getting to know this fusion to help the Pokedex come along. I consider this channel a part of the gameplay loop! As a fairly new trainer to fusions im going to be studying a lot and posting my findings on all kinds of fusions here!

[rich goblet]

#spriting-resources

[slender mural]

oh?

[rich goblet]

Go there, and chat in #spriter-general - this is for the Pokédex for the game

[rich goblet]

It’s a lot so reach out if you have questions

[hazy berry]

I do have one main question. Where can I find the numbers that this user posted for blanape?

[rich goblet]

?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.

[rich goblet]

I recommend fusiondex.org but if it goes down infinite fusion dex also works

[hazy berry]

I see. And is this number important for your submission to get recognized by the staff?

@rich goblet

[strong flame]

IT's moreso for ease of implementation

It's not so the staff recognizes it, it;s so that the game can

[rich goblet]

Yes, the google form needs the author’s discord username, the file name, and the entry itself

[hazy berry]

Okay, I see

[severe scroll]

Kyochic (340.279)
POKENAME are secluded Pokémon that live in caves near the coast. When these Pokémon wander outside of their homes, rainfall follows. Some people treasure POKENAME as stewards that prevent drought and promote crop growth.

[rich goblet]

Is it possible to use another noun than deities?

Maybe guardian or steward?

I know it is a god-like Pokémon

[severe scroll]

That's why I wanted to post it. I know we can't mention gods, but I couldn't think of another word

Thank you!

[rich goblet]

It's a-okay, I find it amusing how some patterns keep showing up

[severe scroll]

Like what?

[rich goblet]

Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza etc keep getting entries that refer to gods or deities and it's quite funny

I'd make a counter if it wasn't too much work

[severe scroll]

Well, the Pokedex does say Kyogre is named in mythology as the Pokémon that expanded the sea by covering the land with torrential rains and towering tidal waves.

But not the creator of.

So, yeah. Just a really powerful Pokemon

Kind of like Regigigas.

[rich goblet]

It's a running joke that we are more strict than Nintendo's Pokédex team

[severe scroll]

I could see that. lol

Makes things a bit easier to write about with the restrictions (ironically enough)

[rich goblet]

I find it more fun when I cannot just write the same thing over and over again

I'm like 4,600 entries in and try to come up with new things each time

I had like ten about sound pollution and light pollution

Was fun mini lesson

[severe scroll]

It's why I like writing cool entries for each sprite with different pictures (unless they have maybe one thing changed).

The Torchic/Bulbasaur is a good example

Here's another of my examples for this fusion

Kyoziken (340.281)
Seen as protectors of the ocean, POKENAME use their dexterous legs to navigate the seas, collecting foreign debris and removing it from the water. When angered, the water around POKENAME will heat and boil as its patterns glow.

Kyoziken (340.281a)
Valiant warriors of the ocean, these Pokémon sleep peacefully until they are needed and awaken. POKENAME are only spotted during massive droughts where they bound across vast land masses, bringing rainstorms wherever they go.

On to Groudon

Whoa, there's way more for this one

Grouchic (341.279)
POKENAME are prideful due to their intense internal heat, often throwing tantrums that rumble the earth when defeated in battle. POKENAME will sleep for 24-hours after being defeated, then awaken, ready to battle once more.

Torchdon (279.341)
Though intimidating in size, POKENAME are rather weak and prefer sleeping over fighting. Creating a nest within the rock of a volcano, POKENAME sleep until awoken by external forces.

[rich goblet]

I think this one needs to be fleshed out a bit more, how does heat translate to pride here?

[severe scroll]

It's more a reference to how it looks. lol It just looks smug af

[rich goblet]

Now I see it, I had to look closely at the sprite for a second

[severe scroll]

Am I wrong? lol

[rich goblet]

It is not immediately obvious I would say

[severe scroll]

Damn. I'll flesh it out a bit more

[rich goblet]

Maybe instead of focusing on the heat you could mention how the pride works

Like

POKENAME are prideful and often throw tantrums that rumble the earth

You can add or subtract depending on the character length

[severe scroll]

POKENAME are prideful due to their intense heat, able to dry up spots of water stepped upon; however, they are easily humbled when defeated by Water-types. After suffering from defeat, POKENAME will sleep before waking up, ready to battle again.

This better?

I might rework it again.

[rich goblet]

Yeah this one needs work

[severe scroll]

How's the other entry?

[rich goblet]

remove the 'and power' and it would work, having that and saying they are weak doesn't make much sense, something can't be both powerful and weak

[severe scroll]

Okay, how's this?

POKENAME are prideful due to their intense internal heat, often throwing tantrums that rumble the earth when defeated in battle. POKENAME will sleep for 24-hours after being defeated, then awaken, ready to battle once more.

I liked the tantrum idea

[rich goblet]

Much better

[split wraith]

I just wanna drop by and say whoever found my sprites and made dex entries for them, tyvm~ Love the extra lore!

[severe scroll]

Comdon (280.341)
POKENAME has powerful legs that can shake the earth. The faster it stomps its feet, the larger the reading on a seismograph.

I like the seismograph reference for earthquakes, but let me know if I should change it.

[rich goblet]

Instead of more intense, I would simply say larger, as the reading would be on paper so intense wouldn't really work

Typically if an earthquake occurs the scribbes grow very large, but using intense to describe it wouldn't make sense

[severe scroll]

That makes sense

[azure wagon]

gonna rapid fire the past days for April Dexchallenge

[rich goblet]

I learned a new word today

[severe scroll]

Groubusken (341.280)
POKENAME tend to sleep for most of the year. During the summer months, this Pokémon awakens to train in the mountains near volcanos. Shaking the earth with its rapid kicks, the land around POKENAME will shift and move.

Groubusken (341.280a)
When awakened by external forces, the spines on POKENAME's head will change colors, signaling a forthcoming drought in the nearby areas. POKENAME will train until tired again, then return to its slumber and end the drought.

Groubusken (341.280b)
During long summers, POKENAME is said to awaken and roam the lands in search of food. During these periods, no rain falls and plants wither. Once full, POKENAME will return to its home underground, sleep, and allow rain to fall again.

[severe scroll]

Alright. These next three will probably be the last ones for today.

Torchquaza (279.342)
Resting on the highest point of the mountains, POKENAME learn how to control their bodies, learning to control fire and gain flight. These Pokémon remain near the mountains until strong enough to take to the ozone layer to find safety.

Comquaza (280.342)
This Pokémon trains its fire by turning these clouds to steam after coming down from the ozone layer. Rumors have spread that rain clouds dissipating before allowing rainfall could be from POKENAME.

Blaquaza (281.342)
Living in the ozone layer for so long, POKENAME has harnessed the heat from the sun, channeling this immense flame into its body and attacks. POKENAME rarely rest, soaring the skies and consuming falling meteors for sustenance.

@rich goblet Going to sleep after this. Any recommendations or are these 6 ready to go?

I'll go ahead and post these. I'm pretty happy with them.

Good night, dex writers!

[split wraith]

Oh hey, a mod (Blaquaza) got a dex entry.

[iron mango]

POKENAME coats its spikes in a toxic film when it goes on the land in order to protect itself from predators when looking for food. If you get wounded by one of these spikes the poison from the film would prevent the wound from healing.

[rich goblet]

They look good, I had to go to bed myself so no worries

[severe scroll]

Morning Dex Writers.

[uneven heart]

Rosephox #352.484

POKENAME uses its powerful psychic abilities and petals from the roses on its wrists to foresee the future. Its fan lures others in with alluring fragrances.

...I've actually had an interesting thought recently

A lot of these fusion Pokémon are usually classified as [x][y] Pokémon, x being the head Pokémon and y being the body Pokémon

So you get a lot of weird Pokémon combinations like "The Axe Shape Pokémon" or something like that

Or sometimes you have your self-fusions that are just redundant

Jynlee #124.106, for example

[iron mango]

Is this good guys?

[uneven heart]

1. "POKENAME coats its spikes in a toxic film when it goes on the land in order to protect itself from predators when looking for food."

There's a bit of vocabulary repetition and bad grammar here:

• "when it goes on the land" could be shortened to "when it goes on land"

• "in order to protect itself from predators when looking for food"; I would say to replace "when" here with "while". You can also remove the "in order" here, as its already implied that it does this in the following statement.

2. "If you get wounded by one of these spikes the poison from the film would prevent the sound from healing."

Make sure you use commas and semicolons where they're needed; try not to write in run-on sentences.

So altogether, it should read a bit more like this:

"POKENAME coats its spikes in a toxic film when it goes on land to protect itself from predators while looking for food. If you get wounded by one of these spikes, the poison from the film would prevent the wound from healing."

It's a good entry, just needs some touch-ups. But I'd leave that to the mods on the final call

But yeah, back to my earlier comment:

Pokémon fusions could use different classifications. Like instead of Jynlee being "The Kicking Shape Pokémon", it could be called something like "The Dancing Kicks Pokémon" or "The Capoeira Pokémon"

[simple lynx]

Good morning

[rich goblet]

Good morning everyone, feel free to ping me for any review related things

[rancid sun]

I'd do one for Cascoon/Aron but

There says there's a custom sprite in the document but not on the site

[delicate cargo]

The Aron list has been done for a bit now so im not sure where those came from

[coral crypt]

It’s a really neat idea, but there are like 250,000 fusions, I feel like doing this for each bizarre species description would be really hard to do

[thorn ingot]

It’s because it’s being added in the next sprite pack that’s very soon so it’ll show up on the sheet before showing up on the sites

[rancid sun]

Ah

[hexed fog]

Zigzag List is up

[rich goblet]

https://fusiondex.org/cascoon+aron/

This one... doesn't have a sprite?

[rancid sun]

I thought it did in the document

NVM

[rich goblet]

It's fine, it happens!

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/aron+zigzagoon/

Peak design

[rich goblet]

It is peak design, tunli did really well

[jagged ledge]

Sprite Pack coming soon. Scroll up. I was confused too.

[rich goblet]

I am the big dumb

[jagged ledge]

It's ok

[rich goblet]

I rejected two entries that might be in the spritepack

[uneven heart]

Slowrantis #80.477

Numerous Shellder shells adorn this Pokémon's body, giving it greater strength and durability against enemies. Having an omnivorous diet, it uses its claws to gather berries and hunt for fish.

[iron mango]

POKENAME coats its spikes in a toxic film when it goes on land in order to protect itself from predators when looking for food. If you get wounded by one of these spikes, the poison from the film would prevent the wound from healing.

Updated entry.

[abstract tusk]

By fragmenting meteors in orbit, POKENAME extracts the energy found within their cores to amplify its psychic abilities.
OR
POKENAME fragments meteors it locates while orbiting Earth to absorb the energy within their cores and heighten its psychic powers with them.

idk which one is better, maybe add something about its fur shining?

[abstract tusk]

POKENAME is known to collect and protect Sun Stones with great ferocity. It will only part with a stone if it recognizes high potential in another Pokémon.

POKENAME's soft coat traps solar energy, keeping its body as warm as sunlight. This, combined with its calm disposition, makes it a favorite among those looking for a huggable partner.

[rich goblet]

The first one is a solid entry

The other two I need to think about

[rich goblet]

This one is cute

[rich goblet]

I get the reference as Espeon evolves with a sun stone, I don’t exactly see how either Pokemon are ferocious though

I would focus on the calming aspect of Cresselia, but that’s more a preference

[ebon warren]

||Now if we could only get GF to give Espeon and Umbreon and Sylveon stone evolutions
Although I would personally do Espeon by Dawn Stone, Umbreon by Dusk Stone, and Sylveon by Shiny Stone, but that's just me ||

[rich goblet]

Honestly would make the most sense

[ebon warren]

Even funnier because for me, personally, I don't really care for the normal Sylveon colors, so I usually only evolve shiny Eevee into Sylveon

[rich goblet]

Sylveon is a funny one

[ebon warren]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-happy-anime-cute-gif-15792738

Those blues are just so much more soothing and appealing

[rich goblet]

The blues are softer on the eyes yeah

The pink... I dunno, too bright

[dense ferry]

At first I thought it was a Audino and Slowbro fusion

[thorn ingot]

I don’t see the audino in that

[rich goblet]

The curls on the left

I guess?

[split wraith]

Slowbro has pink swirls for ears. because that's my design~

[rich goblet]

@snow sequoia Please do not put capitalize any part of your username when submitting entries, thank you.

[jagged ledge]

The reason for this is that we use your static discord username, which is all lowercase letters, as opposed to your server username, which is subject to change. For example, when Ducky submits entries, he does so under the discord username, quackquackattack, so we can find him regardless of what server nickname he's using.

[rich goblet]

One of these days I'm going to make a boilerplate copy paste, but today it not one of those days

@fleet kindle

Oh well, glad I could give a good enough response to be quoted at least

[rich goblet]

@lilac sparrow Please have your entries reviewed in this channel before submitting in the future, we have certain guidelines we follow (some of which are pinned) and we want to make sure you follow them!

This includes but is not limited to using the POKENAME tag to replace the fusion species.

@sick yacht You're familiar with the process already so I'll be a little short, don't forget to keep your username lowercase

[sick yacht]

Apologies has been a minute since I got to sit down and write 😅

[rich goblet]

Courtesy, like politely

Curiosity something different lol

[dusty hound]

You right

I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm

Nooooooooo

Much better!/ref

[rich goblet]

@dusty hound I have made a few changes but none that change the main theme of each entry. Don't expect this often though, I just happen to have time today to do it.

[dusty hound]

@hexed fog wdytPOKENAME hunt by ambushing prey with a poison-coated tail, giving chase after attacking. As the target escapes, the poison slowly blinds them while causing panic and leading to eventual exhaustion, allowing POKENAME to catch them.

[hexed fog]

The idea checks out

[willow venture]

Dude I just said I'm having a burnout I'm genuinely not in the space for weeks to write stuff lmao

[thorn ingot]

Poofed

[rich goblet]

https://fusiondex.org/pelipper+zigzagoon/

Whenever POKENAME scoop up their prey, they flail side-to-side in a zigzag pattern to remove excess water, algae, and seaweed from their large bills to prevent themselves from getting sick. After this happens, they swallow their prey whole.

What you think boss?

[ebon warren]

Technically a few of the pronouns were changed so you were paraphrased

Izik come on bro

It's one of Izik's many quirks

[thorn ingot]

Just because it’s one of his quirks doesn’t mean I have to like it

[rich goblet]

https://fusiondex.org/501.504

POKENAME engage in a courtship dance after an extended period of time getting to know a Pokémon that they are fond of. This dance involves zigzagging back and forth in unison, making it seem as though they are taking turns chasing each other.

[rich goblet]

There's two types of writers I find, one where it takes a lot thought and deliberation.

Then there's the energy gremlins like Izik and I

[hexed fog]

Yiii

[rich goblet]

On a more serious note

You've got thisssss

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-cheer-dance-pokemon-gif-16127538

[rich goblet]

@hexed fog If a person does not want to be pressured into writing, I suggest that be respected, it gets a little dull after the first couple of times

There are limits

[hexed fog]

Oh I thought it was the subject lol

🤣 my bad brochacho

[willow venture]

How does spitting herb scented water relates to someone not wanting to write entries because they're being asked to after establishing a boundary

[rich goblet]

I was under the impression that it was unwanted for whatever reason

@thorn ingot Did I make a bad assumption?

[hexed fog]

Yeah I thought they said no because they didn't like the idea lol

[willow venture]

Guys he doesn't want to be asked to make an entry this is not complicated

[rich goblet]

Ooooooh

[willow venture]

How are you guys not getting it

[thorn ingot]

Yeah I did not want these suggestions given to me because prompts where I’m being given a specific idea makes it infinitely harder for me to write

[willow venture]

Surely this is a clue already

[hexed fog]

I gotcha lol you're all good

Beatdoof please calm down

There's no war here

Just a misunderstanding

[willow venture]

I'm calm man I'm trying to clarify things since you guys are misunderstanding

[rich goblet]

I can be a bit daft if I'm quite honest

Thanks for clarifying

[thorn ingot]

Please all calm down it’s not as serious as yall are making it to be

[rich goblet]

Oh, I've been meaning to ask

[willow venture]

I'm gonna go back into my irl hole for now lol

One day that creative burnout will be over

[rich goblet]

@willow venture Furfrou your favorite, or just one you like?

[willow venture]

Can't wait to see how many Ralts line sprites are left for me to write on

[willow venture]

It's a late bloomer I didn't think too much about it

And then I played Gen 6 and damn I really liked it

Bulky beautiful poochie

[rich goblet]

https://tenor.com/uz4WL062Ryh.gif

Dramatic pooch

[willow venture]

As you can see from my username of course

One of my enduring favorites

Is Bibarel

https://tenor.com/view/faisal-yo-wassup-wassup-yo-bibarel-gif-6026234418485604380

[thorn ingot]

There should be plenty because the more recent boosts aren’t all fusions for that Pokemon but (and this is a guess) rather mons likely to be in the demo

[willow venture]

I hope so lol

[thorn ingot]

I know it hasn’t been all mons because no necrozmas or Porygon-Z’s ever show up on the lists

[willow venture]

They did boost Porygon2 don't they

[rich goblet]

Yeah, then we paused for a bit

[thorn ingot]

Porygon2 isn’t Porygon-Z

[willow venture]

I would've said I'm glad Porygon2 got boosted since I don't care for it anyway

But then the Sylveon boosts exists and I remain

I did get to write a bunch during that time thankfully

[willow venture]

https://tenor.com/view/astroworld-travis-scott-travisscott-astro-gif-9945301052942398110

[rich goblet]

There's plenty is what I see

[willow venture]

A goldmine of untapped potential (it's me tapping my [Further comment is redacted out of consideration by Beat's lawyers])

[hexed fog]

Our push lately is for a specific reason. Who knows what reason though

[thorn ingot]

(It’s not a hard reason to find)

[hexed fog]

so mysterious

[willow venture]

I mean its the demo's release we been know

[thorn ingot]

The suspiciously Hoenn shaped push for dex entries is very mysterious indeed

[hexed fog]

Maybe but who knows

Mysteriousnessss

[willow venture]

I'm sure the Zigzagoon boost for today has no relation whatsoever indeed

[hexed fog]

so perplexity very thunk

[rich goblet]

POKENAME enjoy biting onto the leafy fronds of each other's backs to show affection. If it becomes painful, they zigzag back and forth to shake off an overly affectionate POKENAME.

[storm light]

I'm more of the first kind, I like to think about how my entries will make sense in lore and make sure they're compliant

[rich goblet]

I think you were around when I was writing the wild entries with random words in them

I had a whole vocabulary list and just put words in that are not in common parlance

[storm light]

I was here before you became an Unown

[thorn ingot]

I’m definitely the first camp; I’m a slow writer, and I take a few minutes to think and write what entry I want to write for the sprite

So was I

[storm light]

Of course there are times where inspiration strikes

[thorn ingot]

Definitely

[rich goblet]

We all work a little different

[thorn ingot]

But that burst of creative energy only works when I naturally get there and can see the sprite I want to write for

[storm light]

But also i can def work off of prompts, which is why i dont mind them too badly. Saves me the trouble of having to think for 15 minutes

[thorn ingot]

You see for me, it would take me longer to find a sprite I really like to fit that prompt then it would to just be given the fusion and writing for it.

[willow venture]

I can't not be the first kind with how much I like to write my shit and put in terms most people don't know lol

(Apparently "solar noon" and "waddle" as a way to describe a flock of penguins is more uncommon than I thought)

I think what also limits me is that my groove is more on writing a full evolutionary entry on a fusion line (i.e: the entry I did for the Ralts/Larvesta line per the level up requirements)

[storm light]

ahem, just to 'spite' @thorny crescent ..
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/182.77a/
POKENAME are hardy Pokemon that will continue galloping towards their goal even when exhausted. Their fierce determination has become an inspiration to many people over the years.

[thorny crescent]

sobs loudly

[storm light]

@quaint turret Your Flaaffy/Galvantula already has a dex entry so here are the others

Perdreigon #53.377
Using their sensitive whiskers and near-silent wings, POKENAME are able to stalk prey while remaining out of sight. When the moment is right, they pounce and restrain the target by clamping their three mouths onto the target's extremities.

Hortata #116.19
POKENAME are considered high-priority nuisances by aquariums all over the world. With their voracious appetites, they infest tanks and feast on microorganisms until there is nothing left. They are easily spooked by larger predatory Pokémon.

[quaint turret]

aw thank you!!

[storm light]

@pure agatehttps://fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/133.194c/
Despite seeming tired and slow, POKENAME are capable of surviving in the wild. They make nests out of mud and fur near the water's edge to rest. Their night cap-like hair subtly changes color when they are close to evolving.

[acoustic scarab]

... Am I a gremlin..? XD

[abstract tusk]

Hmm you make a good point! Maybe insteaad of with great ferocity I could put something like "with great care" or "with great interest" 🤔

POKENAME travel in large groups across the night sky. Onlookers frequently confuse them for meteors due to the intense glow they emit while in flight.

Meteors? Wishing stars? IDK how to put it

While in deep slumber, POKENAME traverses the dreams of those nearby. If it encounters a pure-hearted wish during its sleep, it manifests that desire into reality.

POKENAME possesses an incredibly sturdy body and powerful legs. It pummels foes with heavy kicks and poisons them with the sharp talons on its feet.

[acoustic scarab]

Bringing this up purely because I know some writers prefer to be the only person to have an entry on a Mon, just letting you know I've got an entry on this one already 🙂

I've no issues with you also submitting for it, and I know there's no rules against doing so, but just alerting you in case it's something that'd bother you

[abstract tusk]

It's for the dexdoku and it doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you! :)

[acoustic scarab]

All good with me then!

[hexed fog]

Pretty sure you lose points in dexdoku if the sprite already has an entry

@jagged ledge

[abstract tusk]

It'll be changed then

[rich goblet]

Perhaps

[rich goblet]

One of those two would work yes

[jagged ledge]

Not necessarily, I just recommend trying to use fusions without entries because otherwise I'll investigate further to make sure there's no plagiarism.

[hexed fog]

Ohhh ok

[jagged ledge]

Like, I always recommend using sprites without entries cuz the entire point is to add to the game, but I'm not going to outright penalize unless you steal content or there's already a Spriter entry, same as normal Dex rules

[abstract tusk]

I did another one and then looked and it also had one, so I had to hunt one that didn't LMAO

Known for its relentless fighting spirit, POKENAME is never seen without its twins. While the parent pummels foes with heavy strikes, the siblings protect one another using their toxic barbs to ensure no enemy can get close.

Should I put "both its offspring"? How could I indicate that they always have 2?

The orbits on POKENAME's eyes are as hot as a star. When it spins and dances, the rock on its tail ignites, reaching up to 5000 degrees.

do degrees have to have 5,000 or soemthing? In the pokedex amgcargo just writes 10000 I think

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/drifloon+zigzagoon/ Did an entry for this Pokemon!

[rich goblet]

This is fine as is

[rich goblet]

I suggest not putting a numerical number, maybe you can write something like “the rock on its tail ignites hot enough to melt rocks”

[rich goblet]

Where is the entry?

[rancid sun]

Already submitted it

I said it had fur made out of tinier balloons that grow back when popped

Infintie bubble wrap

[dusty hound]

POKENAME descends from the sky like a meteor, emitting a ringing sound as it falls. The vibrations gradually breaks apart its shell until it fully shatters

[rich goblet]

What fusion is this?

[dusty hound]

Its's Miniling #498.557

Minior / Chingling

[rich goblet]

Oh that makes sense

[dusty hound]

[fleet kindle]

Okay, so I need to resubmit the entry?

[rich goblet]

No, it’s just a reminder, I have fixed it in the sheet

[fleet kindle]

thanks bro

[abstract tusk]

But for example magcargo does have numbers, why can't we?

POKENAME appears before those who have lost their way in the dream world. By trapping spirits in its shimmery tails, it ensures their transition from this world is painless, acting as a gentle navigator for their final journey.

[jagged ledge]

Huh?

"The dream world"?

Also the rest of the entry has nothing to do with that?

[abstract tusk]

like cresselia, darkrai? dont they have a dream world? or the 5 gen

[abstract tusk]

I thought of it more like, when you die you have one last dream and this pokemon traps the spirits

I should unite the two concepts more right?

POKENAME appears before those who have lost their way in the dream world and traps them in its shimmery tails ensuring a painless transition from this world, acting as a gentle navigator for their final journey.
maybe like this?¿

[abstract tusk]

Bred for speed and endurance, POKENAME prefers the wilderness to a comfortable home. It can run at top speeds for hours, fueled by the electricity crackling through its fur.

Should I put "which makes it spiky" at the end? to add more to the fur thing?

[storm light]

I would probably go with "through its spiky fur", you still get the point across while not adding on too much

I'm not sure if you can exactly say that thi spokemon was bred for something since it's still a species that can be found in the wild I'm not entirely sure though

<@&1210701164426039366> what do yall think?

[rich goblet]

Sorry, I'm here, I'm catching up

[rich goblet]

If you follow the lorebook you should be fine, but I generally advise not to include temperature because of how complex it gets.

[crimson ledge]

I'm not sure it makes sense to say a fusion's characteristics are "bred" for the same reason it doesn't really make sense to say say they "evolved" (in the Darwinian sense) - fusions come about through fusion, they're not naturally-occuring creatures in the traditional sense.

[hexed fog]

This would be a Faq 12 violation

[rich goblet]

Looks like we're all caught up, I'll be working on approving entries so just ping the Unown team for any issues

[abstract tusk]

noted! Put it as you told me :)

[rich goblet]

Mind if you copy paste the entry here one last time?

[abstract tusk]

makes sense, putting "born" could make more sense? Or something like POKENAME is incredible adapted (?) for speed and endurance?

[abstract tusk]

The orbits on POKENAME's eyes are as hot as a star. When it spins and dances, the rock on its tail ignites hot enough to melt meteorites.

I changed rocks to meteorites to continue the minior theme but I can put rock if you think is best

[abstract tusk]

... I really have to read the rules LMAO I keep putting it off

[abstract tusk]

POKENAME appears before those who have lost their way in their final dream and traps them in its shimmery tails ensuring a painless transition from this world, acting as a gentle navigator for their last journey.

maybe mention dreams but not a dream world per say?

[rich goblet]

What sprite is this for? I need to confirm something before I help fix the first sentence

[storm light]

Just one zigzagoon left

[storm light]

aah fuck i'm having trouble thinkin of anything for it

[hexed fog]

How would someone know this

You can get away with it with "some fables say"

[abstract tusk]

499.4a.png charmander minior from nsgrex1234_yt

[abstract tusk]

touché, makes sense yeah lmao

Some fables say POKENAME appears before those who have lost their way in their final dream and traps them in its shimmery tails, ensuring a painless transition from this world and acting as a gentle navigator for their last journey.

in its tails or with its tails sound better?

[rich goblet]

The bright swirls on POKENAME's eyes are as hot as a star. When it spins and dances, the rock on its tail grows hot enough to melt meteorites.

Put this in the wrong channel lol

Doing one for the Ledian fusion

[harsh chasm]

i'm back babey
POKENAME is often laughed at by young children for the odd way it swims around. It can often be seen carried away slowly by river currents, floating in the water whilst somehow remaining perfectly upright. Its body is quite stiff, making it difficult for it to flee from predators.
394.550

(ok yeah i may need to lengthen this a bit)

[rich goblet]

Ridiculed by who? It’s just a baby

[jagged ledge]

Whoever made Infinite Fusions for dummies, thank you. It's been a while since I've really had at it with writing extra entries, but the combination of the completion chart and the random unwritten base sprite search is a really fun process.

[harsh chasm]

If it feels threatened, POKENAME will wave its arms around wildly, releasing a highly toxic powder that, when ingested, can make a grown adult fall horribly ill for at least a whole week if not treated. POKENAME can also be found accompanying wild groups of fellow Poison-types, as the powder it produces can be used to heal their wounds.
48.401

[harsh chasm]

any ideas as to how i can beef this up (and the one above it)

[abstract tusk]

So, just to be clear, whenever you give the OK to one of the entries here can we submit them to the forms in the link in the other channel?

[abstract tusk]

hmm, I don't really know anything about this ngl, but I feel skittish , startled and threatened are like, too close? if you know what I mean? Like it gives me the same vibe and you may be able to put them in a single phrase? but idk lmao

[jagged ledge]

Huh? But they only use one of those words?

[harsh chasm]

i modified it

[jagged ledge]

Oh ok

[harsh chasm]

misread 100-250 characters as words mb lol

[jagged ledge]

I tend to recommend avoiding "insert clauses" as they're called, where you separate clarifying information with a comma. "Releasing a highly toxic power that can make anyone who ingests it fall horribly ill for at least a week if not treated in time."

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, no lol. Pretty significant difference there That's ok though.

[harsh chasm]

been a while since i wrote any entries haha

[jagged ledge]

I feel that

[abstract tusk]

yeah but I meant the vibe, like they all allude to similar things

[jagged ledge]

Well if they already fixed it then no point in really debating much. Sorry I misunderstood the situation.

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME resides in pitch-back caves, void of all light except for the glow of the rings along its body. It will immediately flee upon seeing any other light source.
197.169

[jagged ledge]

I would say "pitch-back caves, void of all light except for the glow of the rings along its body." That way you can avoid using "light source" twice, even if indirectly, and add more to the atmosphere being completely dark.

[harsh chasm]

brilliant ty

[jagged ledge]

Happy to help

[harsh chasm]

As POKENAME runs, the clanging of its scales sound like firecrackers. If an active volcano is about to erupt, it will run past nearby people and Pokémon to warn them.
473.78

[storm light]

I like the vibe, but I'm not really getting any Kommo-o from it. Maybe you could make mention of their strength, their scales in some form?

[rancid sun]

The biggest, roundest scales?

[storm light]

Oooh, maybe you could say that as they run, their scales clang together and sound like firecrackers?

[rancid sun]

https://www.fusiondex.org/lairon+volcarona/

https://www.fusiondex.org/aron+volcarona/ I plan on doing this too

[harsh chasm]

completely overhauled it, I like this a lot better now tbh

who is kommo-o fusied with here?

I finally got something for it, Zigzagoon list is done @hexed fog!

[jagged ledge]

Where did you guys see Chimchar/Zigzagoon? I tried looking earlier

One should take caution when traveling the rocky terrain in which groups of POKENAME reside, as they are known to trip unsuspecting travelers due to them blending into the ground very easily.

[rich goblet]

God I just wrote five entries about biting, what is my brain doing today

[jagged ledge]

Depends. On a scale of Gible to Magikarp, how fitting is it for the Pokémon to bite?

[rich goblet]

One sec, let me reply to this then I'll share with the rest of the class

[rich goblet]

One should take caution when traveling the rocky terrain where groups of POKENAME reside, as they are known to trip unsuspecting travelers because they easily blend into the ground.

Just a few small fixes, otherwise good to submit

Whenever I learn a fun fact I've been writing entries about it

Sharpfisk #437.420

POKENAME lay at the bottom of the ocean floor where they ambush prey with a jolt of electricity. If two POKENAME meet during the courtship season, they exchange bites on each other's fins to signal interest in one another.

@jagged ledge Did you know that sharks bite each other's fins to show interest in each other?

It sounds like one of those things you'd learn in a fun facts book

[jagged ledge]

Ok well I mean it makes sense to write about a shark biting, especially with that fact lol

[rich goblet]

The other four was like

Snubbul Crocanaw
Sandile Nidoran

Two more unfortunate souls

Forced to bite each other's wings or ears for attention

Well not forced but canon

I'm going to take a nap before I decide what I might write about next

[jagged ledge]

Valid lol. Maybe eat a little too

[hexed fog]

Assist List is up

[thorn ingot]

DiveCats or ReviveCats style? Very important question

[severe scroll]

Torchitty (279.525)
This vocal Pokémon loves their Trainer and cheeps happily when near their person. When its trainer gets upset, POKENAME will opt to lay on the person's head, back, butt, or belly, trying to comfort them.

Torchitty (279.525a)
Hyperactive and full of energy, POKENAME need constant stimulation to burn off excess heat. When lacking in a play partner, POKENAME will entertain themselves by chasing their tail feathers until too dizzy to continue.

These look good?

[proud cosmos]

Though its wings may look weak, they can actually lift a POKENAME hundreds of feet into the air. The electricity it stores in its cheeks is often used for lifting itself into the air.

[severe scroll]

How does the electricity help it lift into the air?

[strong flame]

could instead have the cheeks generate heat that lift up warm air into its head wings

[proud cosmos]

didnt think of that

Though its wings may look weak, they can actually lift a POKENAME hundreds of feet into the air. POKENAME is capable of generating heat stored in its cheeks often used for lifting itself into the air.

[severe scroll]

Maybe mention something about its Magnet Flux, like what the Klink line use.

[proud cosmos]

what

[severe scroll]

electromagnitism, not Magnet Flux, mb

Hang on...

Check out my entry for this Pokemon
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/337.354a/

Electric fields can cause levitation.

POKENAME will generate electricity in their cheeks, creating an electromagnetic field to lift them off the ground. From here, POKENAME use their wings to to fly hundreds of feet into the air.

Maybe something like that?

It helps pull together the electric vibe and how their wings can help them soar so easily.

Don't have to use it, but it's a thought.

[severe scroll]

@proud cosmos

[proud cosmos]

alr that makes sense

[severe scroll]

Torchcatty (279.526)
POKENAME have talon-like claws and feathery fur that must be maintained. If a trainer does not take proper care of this Pokémon's beauty needs, POKENAME retaliate by scratching up furniture and curtains.

Torchcatty (279.526a)
POKENAME are soft and warm to the touch making them great companions for the elderly. These Pokémon tend to stick by their person's side, enjoying the attention and care they receive.

Delchic (526.279)
Hopping around in search of comfortable places to sleep, POKENAME use their great hearing to avoid predators. During the evening, POKENAME will awaken to find a sunny spot to take in the evening rays before starting its search again.

[harsh chasm]

Its jaws are strong enough to gnaw through solid rock. Miners sometimes use POKENAME to bore out tunnels and clear large boulders.
333.20

This rare variant of POKENAME drifts around happily at night in large swarms looking for food. It cannot survive for very long in direct sunlight.
533.535b

[severe scroll]

I love the Slime Rancher reference!

[harsh chasm]

i was looking through reference sprites and saw a couple SR ones, this one didn't have an entry yet hehe

POKENAME is often found resting in coral reefs. When it sleeps, it emits a soothing aura that reduces hostility in nearby Pokémon.
501.143a

[coral crypt]

Think it should be are often found and they sleep since you're referring to the species as a whole

[harsh chasm]

The milk that POKENAME produces is very rich and fatty, causing anyone who drinks it to fall asleep within a matter of seconds.
143.241

[rancid sun]

This is a common Pokemon for hot chocolate makers to have for this reason.

[coral crypt]

it makes Poke-Ambien

the internet / social media as a concept exist in universe right?

[thorny turtle]

Yeah

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME hunts by wrapping its spiky tail tightly around its prey. It can be quite territorial and does not get along with others of the same species.
413.410

[coral crypt]

I think the first sentence could be a little clearer, and also should fix the plurality agreement
maybe something like "POKENAME hunt by wrapping their spiky tail around prey." ?

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME spends most of its life underwater, with only the circular leaf on its head sticking out above the surface. It becomes agitated if the leaf is grabbed.
283.188

POKENAME hunts by wrapping its antennae around prey and absorbing their life-force. Its flames strangely do not give off heat and cannot be extinguished, even when submerged in water.
365.170

[harsh chasm]

Despite its sweet smell and taste, POKENAME's outer shell is extremely tough. It will become agitated if people attempt to harvest its armor, delivering swift punches with its four arms.
492.75

[tepid marsh]

Staryu/Staryu, sprite by Dr.Teatime.

POKENAME constantly grow out its limbs. When not in combat to justify this growth, its limbs grow to a disproportionate and potentially harmful length for its own health.

[thorn ingot]

Period instead of comma after constantly since you’re starting a new sentence there.

I do have a question. Why does it regenerate limbs constantly?

Does it lose them often?

Do they grow off its body if they become too long?

[tepid marsh]

...because it's regular pokedex states so ? and also because it learns Recover very early

I always thought of it like rattata's and ratticate's tooth

[thorn ingot]

You need to explain why it does in the entry since they need to be as standalone as possible and not have weird unanswered statements like that

[tepid marsh]

Yes! I will do that!

[thorn ingot]

On the topic, I would get rid of the constantly in the second sentence since not all of that Pokemon will be in combat 24/7

[tepid marsh]

I have changed the entry!

[thorn ingot]

Oh and a big thing, you can use POKENAME to state the fusion name, and it’s also a requirement to do so before using a pronoun like it

So I recommend changing the first it to POKENAME

[tepid marsh]

I've done so!

[thorn ingot]

Remember the difference in its vs it’s
It’s = it is
Its = possession

[tepid marsh]

Ah! Sorry for the error!

[thorn ingot]

I would say to remove the word consistently in the second sentence since the sentence sounds and makes more logical sense without it

[tepid marsh]

Yes

[thorn ingot]

Also sorry if I’m bombarding you

[tepid marsh]

Not at all! This is exactly what I needed!

Thank you so much!

[thorn ingot]

In the second sentence, add an a to have it say “to a disproportionate”

And all the “it’s” in the entry need to be “its” since they are all possession and not saying “it is”

[storm light]

Welcome to dex writing! Always love seeing new writers!
Remember to check out the pins for helpful writing tips and some of the more common FAQ questions as well as the lorebook! A full list of the FAQ can be found in in the spreadsheet you can find in #dex-entries-submissions (The big HERE link, will crash on mobile)

Until you get a good grasp on what we're looking for here, I would suggest posting your entries here so we can make sure they're in tip-top shape before being submitted! Dex updates are done ~every 2 weeks by .Izik and you can find the last update time in the pins as well!

[tepid marsh]

Thank you, I will look at the spreadsheet once I find it and post anything I made here to be judged and corrected!

[tepid marsh]

If it's not too much trouble can you see how the final result of the entry I made is now that it's been fixed ?

[storm light]

Is it choosing to constantly grow out its limbs? If not, then I would probably remove effortlessly and just say its limbs are constantly growing.

[tepid marsh]

I have changed the entry

[coral crypt]

So if it’s not fighting the limbs grow too much?

[tepid marsh]

like rat teeth!

[coral crypt]

But rats grind down their own teeth no? Staryu isn’t one of the viciously aggressive species so I’m trying to understand why this fusion would constantly be in fights

[storm light]

Would you mind if I try to rewrite it slightly? I'll do my best to keep your original intent, but also I understand if not

[tepid marsh]

Please do!

[tepid marsh]

Well since the original dex focused so heavily on it's regenerative properties, I tried to add on since a double fused staryu would mean double regen!

[coral crypt]

That makes sense. From the dex entry you wrote, it sounds like it would be harmed if it weren’t constantly in combat. That aspect is what I’m confused by

[storm light]

How's this?POKENAME's limbs are constantly growing. Unless it battles consistently, its limbs continue to grow to lengths that are disproportionate and potentially harmful to its health.

[tepid marsh]

Like how horses hooves grow so thick and deep that it makes them struggle to run because originally they evolved to ALWAYS be running, a double fused staryu in the wild would be kind of like a real life Moonfish! Where it wouldn't care if it got hurt or bitten cause it could always heal itself

well, not the moonfish

the moonfish is just too stupid to realize it's being eaten

[tepid marsh]

That's amazing! You perfectly encapsulated what I wanted to make!

[storm light]

Glad to help!

tbh i think it's ready to be submitted if you like it, you can find the form in #dex-entries-submissions

remember to use your discord username, which is in all lowercase

[tepid marsh]

i'm going to try to write entries for the rest of the staryu/starmie self fusion line

[tepid marsh]

I must find the sprite file first, I've never done this before

[coral crypt]

Gotcha. The regeneration makes a ton of sense btw. I was just wondering where the idea of it being very aggressive and needing to battle constantly comes from.

[storm light]

that would be 120.120.png
https://www.fusiondex.org/staryu+staryu/

[tepid marsh]

should I use the one you wrote ?

WAIT NO

THAT'S PLAGARISM

[storm light]

Nah

[tepid marsh]

YOU SHOULD SUBMIT IT

YOU WROTE IT

[storm light]

It's your idea

I just helped refine it

[tepid marsh]

Unrelated, but I am quite distracted by the fact your tag is a grunt/moan of pain

mhgh

[storm light]

I never even thought about it like that lmfao

[tepid marsh]

Then should I use this ?

[storm light]

I mean, if you want. You can use the one I refined for you. I understand the fear but I assure you, it's not plagiarism, especially since I really don't care if I don't get credited I have my own entries that I write, idm

And again

It's your idea

[tepid marsh]

well then I'll use the superior version you made!

[storm light]

Welcome to dex writing! Hope to see more of you around!

[tepid marsh]

wait a seccond...

I am going to make entries for the rest of the staryu self fusion line

and maybe one for nidoqueen too

[willow venture]

Hi new writer

I hope you don't mind knowing there's a spam of entries from repeat writers every day

[pale venture]

Omacruel #138.73
Wild POKENAME use the unwieldy shells on their backs to disguise themselves as large rocks to draw in prey, before latching onto them with noxious tentacles. The red orbs on a POKENAME can flash rapidly to stun nearby threats.

[river orchid]

I hath developed a pitch!
Drowtini (#96.147)
A benevolent creature, POKENAME was believed to have been a myth for the longest time. Their existence was proven, however, when studies showed they commonly hid in the dreams of others.

[rich goblet]

I’m a little confused, do they not appear in reality? How would anyone confirm this then?

[river orchid]

-# The idea I had was that it could physically like... Dive into people's dreams as a means of nesting/safety. It only got discovered physically recently, someone did some studies, and found out 'oh, they can just... Do that. And that's how they've been so elusive'.

-# I will be making more for the line... What? I like the Drowzee line, and these ones are kinda cute.

[azure wagon]

With only a few days left of April, let's get ready for the next installment of our monthly Dexchallenge and dive into MerMay! 🧜‍♀️ 🌊 🐚
This aquatic themed promptlist is sure to make a splash!

[regal cedar]

Hmm. I need inspo.

[rich goblet]

@regal cedar What Pokémon help out with making topiary art?

I've been saving these prompts for when people ask for them, use them well

[regal cedar]

Hmm. I am not aware of it.

[rich goblet]

Oh, you don't know about topiary art? One sec

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary

[acoustic scarab]

See also: Edward Scissorhands

[regal cedar]

Oh! I didn't know it was called that.

[acoustic scarab]

Some Scyther fusions could go well for it

[keen kestrel]

Or pawniard!

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME appears on foggy nights, luring lost travelers towards it with the light from the glowing orb in its belly. It is mostly composed of the remains of fallen Dragonite from ancient times.
311.149

[unkempt plinth]

Me (but thank Izik for all features idea), also, you can ping me anytime, for than i update the entries in the website. I update when Izik request it, but i can always update it anytimes if needed 🙂

[thorny turtle]

Question: are words like "insects" and "bugs" okay to use in a Dex entry (e.g. as a Pokemon's diet)?

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME grows berries from the branches on its head, which it sometimes offers to lost children. Those who eat these berries mysteriously disappear shortly afterwards.
438.260

[rich goblet]

Good question.

<@&1210701164426039366> Are vague terms like "insects" and "bugs" okay to use in an entry?

#dex-entries-discussion message

[harsh chasm]

The fluff on POKENAME's body is extremely soft to the touch. Some believe that sleeping on a pillow made with this fluff can make any dream come true.
381.360b

[jagged ledge]

Do you update based on what's in game or based on what's approved on the sheet? Also thank both of you very much then

[unkempt plinth]

Two months ago, on the game. But now, i do like fusiondex, on the sheet.

[jagged ledge]

Ok cool good to know.

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME has poor eyesight, so it uses the furry tips of its antennae to familiarize itself with its environment. Groups of POKENAME are often seen tickling each other as a greeting.
133.170

[delicate cargo]

The more frequent updates are definitely well appreciated!

[rich goblet]

Small tip, when introducing a Pokémon, you want to use POKENAME first to set a frame of reference for the reader

It would be like

POKENAME has poor eyesight, it does XYZ

The first instance of POKENAME helps us know what we're talking about

Thanks for fixing that, I'm one of the Unowns who check the entries for grammar/spelling errors and fixes them

It's always nice when everything is in order

[unkempt plinth]

Entries updated on dummies, if needed

[small nest]

As per the lorebook, "it eats fish Pokémon" is preferable to "it eats fish," so I assume the same would apply here.

[rich goblet]

Thank you! I forgot to check the lorebook (I need to get better at that)

[jagged ledge]

Thank you! I have a complete top row of my chart now!

[ebon warren]

Pinsir fusions too

[delicate cargo]

My pokedex is coming along nicely! Almost 50% done!

[hollow quartz]

somehow, kingler and krabby fusions come to mind--at least some of them, prolly

[hexed fog]

Niiiiice

[azure wagon]

Realized that I didn't set the google doc link to be viewed, everyone should have access now!

[dusty hound]

I got behind again so here is April Dexchallenge 24-26 im still writing the rest so they'll prolly be done later today

POKENAME tries to stay still to mimic a tree, however its spinning often gives it away. When forced to move it will become wobbly and starts to cry.``` 

```Hitmonbi #237.251 
POKENAME travels through time searching for ruined forests. By spinning on its head POKENAME accelerates time, restoring them to their former beautiful state. ``` 

```Megachan #154.107 
POKENAME is a pacifist, preferring to calm opponents with its soothing aura. As  a last resort, it will deliver a flurry of precise punches to bring them down.```

I know you can say a pokemon does something not directly said in its entry but I’m wondering if saying that Hitmonbi accelerating time is in the clear

[rich goblet]

The Hitmonbi entry is fine

[dusty hound]

[hexed fog]

lol isnt it a celebi? time manipulation is kinda its whole dealeo

youre gucci

now if it was Metapod/Raticate...

then we have issues

[hexed fog]

The 28APR2026 Dex Update has been sent. Please allow it some time to activate. You don't need to manually update it will happen automatically as you open the game.

[dusty hound]

Are the other two good for me to submit

[rich goblet]

Nut it’s spinning?

[dusty hound]

Auto correct of doom, thats supposed to say however

Dont ask me how

it just happens

😭

[rich goblet]

I suggest checking your entries before submitting them

[proud cosmos]

Rumors suggest that POKENAME is able to fuse Pokémon together on its own, without the aid of fusion technology. When it uses its psychic powers, its cheek sacs generate electricity.

@rich goblet

[rancid sun]

They'll be here in due time

[rich goblet]

Give me a sec, need to consult the lore book

[proud cosmos]

if its not then i can add after the first sentence "though no scientific evidence has proven this true" or something

[rich goblet]

I’m going to push back on this and say that most if not all fusions can do this, and perhaps ironically, this is too generic.

Supporting article

[dusty hound]

POKENAME's punches leave glowing trails like shooting stars. It is said to protect the skies, striking down threats before they can breach the ozone layer. ``` 

```Minitop #499.237
As POKENAME spins, its core shines brightly, creating a glowing vortex. As it gains speed, it resembles a shooting star dancing across the night sky.```

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME is known to only eat spoiled or over-ripened berries, so farmers often keep it around during harvests to clean up unwanted produce.

[tepid marsh]

I thrive to be as good a writer as Sk372

I've been writing drafts nonstop! I'll post one here once I think it's good enough

[pale venture]

You need a hyperfixation, an excess of energy drinks and a lot of free time

They do it on their phone a lot iirc

I'd recommend going at your own pace though, don't burn yourself out

[hollow quartz]

can confirm about the hyperfixation and free time at least

[willow venture]

Take it from me when I had a bunch of free time and creative energy I crank shit like no tomorrow

And then here I am having to unfortunately be swamped with real life obligations and all that creativity went down the crater lmao

[hexed fog]

Real life definitely takes priority over pokemon

[acoustic scarab]

says you

Staryu/Starmie, sprite by zazach, #120.121

"POKENAME's limbs can be cut off or detached without much harm to the Pokémon itself, whenever a new limb is regrown it could be of any of the seven colors of the rainbow."

Starmie/Starmie, sprite by kuumagamer, #121.121c

"POKENAME's gems glows a mysterious color unlike any seen on earth. Those standing nearby have signals of unknowable images and visions flash before their eyes, causing headaches."

If anyone could give me remarks and judgement on these, they will be welcomed with open arms!

[final briar]

we're back at it again, folks, I have not forgotten
April Dex Challenge Day 24: Wood
Delax 484.143
POKENAME is imbued with both great strength and psychic powers. However, it would rather lounge and use its branch for roasting snacks rather than conjure visions of the future.

I like this but is second sentence a run on?

[rich goblet]

Nah it looks fine to me

[rich goblet]

I'm a little confused, where are you getting the rainbow bit? Also, no exclamation points in entries, it doesn't fit the tone

[final briar]

April Dex Challenge Day 25: Celebibibi
Celekou #251.243
POKENAME is a devoted guardian of the Johto region, wielding both lightning fast reflexes and psychic abilities. It is rumored that if the Pokémon runs at 88 miles per hour, it can travel through time.

I can totally change the cheeky reference but I thought it might be funny lol

also LOVE this sprite ❤️

[rich goblet]

Why 88 miles per hour?

[final briar]

silly Back to the Future ref, that's the number it took the car to be able to go through time. but if most ppl don't get the ref I can leave it out

[rich goblet]

It should be phrased like

"The Pokémon runs at 88 miles per hour, it can travel through time"

Also don't forget capital P Pokémon and the accented é

[final briar]

right right thanks

Can I include an "if" at the beginning of the sentence, bc I assume it doesn't always run at that speed

[rich goblet]

You already have an if in the main sentence

[tepid marsh]

The dex states it's crystal glows with the seven colors of the rainbow!

I have also fixed my punctual mixtakes

[rich goblet]

"POKENAME's limbs can be cut off or detached without much harm to the Pokémon itself. Whenever a new limb is regrown it can change colors to match one of the seven colors of the rainbow."

Note the capital P Pokémon, the accented é

[tepid marsh]

Sorry, I'll be make sure to fix that once I learn how to do accent marks on keyboard!

Do you have any critiques for the other entry ?

[rich goblet]

What does "unknowable images" mean? It's oxymornic and doesn't make much sense

[tepid marsh]

The people in the Pokédex also does not seem to know what the signals mean in the original Pokédex entry...

[rich goblet]

I checked bulbapedia and it doesn't come up?

[tepid marsh]

It's the ones about standing near it giving you a headache and the ones about how it's always sending a radio signal

[rich goblet]

One second, let me try to make a couple of fixes in that case

[rich goblet]

"POKENAME's gem glow a mysterious color rarely seen on earth. Those standing nearby hear radio signals and have visions flash before their eyes, causing headaches."

What do you think about that?

[tepid marsh]

It's alot more clinical and researched

Less of the unknowable or mysterious stuff in my original entry

This is alot more understandable

!

[rich goblet]

I mean, the Pokédex was meant to be like an encyclopedia for all the species of Pokémon that exist, so we are trying to follow that spirit.

It is an open secret that the guidelines are more strict than Pokémon, partially to avoid being taken down

[tepid marsh]

It's always been a split, in my opinion...
Half of them are scientific studies
The other half are folk lore and hearsay stuff

But I do agree that the ones that describes a Pokemon's behaviour and logic is alot more interesting to read

But then you also have super cool ones like Phantump's entry!

But I'll take note!

I'll make sure to make them alot more

Logical

From now on!

[tepid marsh]

Well, what do you think ? Do you wanna upload the 2 entries you wrote ?

[rich goblet]

There's a lot of wiggle room for jokes, but most the most important things are found in the lore book in the pinned comments.

[rich goblet]

I would rather not, I have many existing entries already.

You can submit them!

[tepid marsh]

Should I remake mine more along the lines of what you wrote or should I submit yours ?

I'll be honest, I'm not sure how I'd improve on your design

[rich goblet]

Either way works

[tepid marsh]

I'll upload them tomorrow! I'll see if I can sleep on it to think of anything to add

[rich goblet]

Cool, have a good rest

[clear hollow]

This Pokémon's body resembles a dried and hollowed spiky fruit. Archeologists discovered that ancient people used POKENAME for trapping evil spirits rather than storing food or liquids.

-# a note for myself to post this in June

[keen kestrel]

Love that

[rotund oxide]

There is a rumor that POKENAME have the power to transport trainers away to a distant land at will, as some that have come in contact with it have mysteriously disappeared. POKENAME tend to be a bit scatterbrained, but find composure in pitting their abductees against each other in nonsensical contests.

https://www.fusiondex.org/lampent+mewtwo/

[clear hollow]

With its incredible psychic powers, this Pokémon is able to control every sand grain inside its body. By itself, POKENAME is completely immobile, so it uses the makeshift sand limbs to move and catch Ghost-type Pokémon with.
551.364 Claydol/Ferrothorn
-# a note for myself to post this in June

[rancid sun]

There should be more object show fusions

Plus I realy need to watch ONE

[rotund oxide]

agree!! im mainly only a fan of hfjone myself but it is SO good…

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME marks its territory by drilling outlines into the ground with its tail. It gets upset if these outlines are stepped on or erased.
206.183

[rich goblet]

Howdy, just so you know, pocket dimensions are not part of PIF and this entry should add a mention of rumors or speculation to avoid running into this issue.

[keen kestrel]

for correct grammar i think you should replace "catch the Ghost-type Pokémon with" with just "catch Ghost-type Pokémon with" (remove "the")

[clear hollow]

thanks!

[final briar]

April Dex Challenge Day 26: Chiko family
Bayble #153.297
POKENAME is surprisingly strong for such a small Pokémon. When it is not trying to bite anything that moves, it enjoys keeping warm in a nice sunny spot.

[coral crypt]

should be “sunny spot”

[dense ferry]

You should fix the second sentence

[storm light]

You should probably say how the second sentence should be fixed. Just saying that it should be fixed isn't exactly helpful

[dense ferry]

You should revise your second sentence entirely. First of all, the grammatical structure is completely insufficient, as it lacks any chronological order or logic. Secondly, its contents are completely rambunctious. Why are you bringing up 2 things at once? This will confuse readers and overstimulate them. Instead, just describe 1 trait of your pokemon in order to avoid confusion. Then, you should focus on improving your grammer. You consistently fail to use proper structuring, nouns, etc. Please work on your English. If you do everything that I told you to do, including filtering out the rambunctiousnesses and nonsensical structure, you should have a well-done description.

[dense ferry]

Happy now

[rotund oxide]

gotcha! lemme edit it to say something a bit different then

[coral crypt]

*improving your grammar 🤓

(sorry couldn't resist)

[rich goblet]

I get that it is important to you that things are in correct English, but bear in mind that in addition to many people being young or have English as their second language, this is a Pokémon server. Please be nice, it’s one of the server rules.

[keen kestrel]

also what... besides saying "sun spot" instead of "sunny spot" (or maybe sun beam) that grammar is fine

Honestly that whole entry reads like how I would describe my cat 😂

he's either biting, or chilling in the sun. paints a great picture of the pokemon's personality with very few words. not "overstimulating" or whatever lol

[rotund oxide]

is this better?

[hollow quartz]

this fits well for how cute the sprite looks in my eyes

[rotund oxide]

personally i was not overstimulated by the bio saying it liked laying in the sun but thats just me

[jagged ledge]

Actually, there is clear communication of timing and structure. "When it is not trying to bite anything that moves, it enjoys". The part before the comma is both an introductory clause to establish the conditions of the second half of the sentence and a prepositional phrase that indicates the condition "When x isn't happening, y is happening."

Secondly, "rambunctious" is not a good word to use in your critique, especially if you believe the person you are talking to doesn't have a grasp on English. Rambunctious implies loud, distracting, and dissonant. You could say "cluttered" or "busy", maybe, but I don't believe that is the issue here. Readers can understand multiple concepts as long as they are properly communicated, and the way the entry is structured does meet those conditions in terms of structure. Rather than just saying "your grammar is wrong", indicate what about it is wrong or how they can improve, don't just tear them down.

[jagged ledge]

I apologize for the fact that your entry became such a point of contention. My main advice for revising your entry would be to substitute the first "It" for "POKENAME" to establish what the future uses of "It" are referring back to, and to revise "sun spot" into "sunny spot" as others have already suggested. The overall structure of your second sentence is fine.

[pastel depot]

so uhh

one of my sprites recently recieved an entry

and Im not sure what to make of it

"Many Glafetchd join hockey teams because of their adeptness at controlling their hockey stick. Glafetchd's aerodynamic wings and frosty ice skates allow them to swiftly traverse across the ice to score points."

its a ski pole...

and ski mask

[keen kestrel]

LOL

[pastel depot]

yea

do i report it or?

[keen kestrel]

well, entries from the spriter are always prioritized. so i believe you could just write your own and that would replace it in the next update

[pastel depot]

at the same time its also just kinda... wrong

so like idk what to do

hmm

I might report it just to see what izik/whoever is running reports at the time says

at worst and the report fails ill make my own, (probably with an update to the sprite)

[jagged ledge]

I know that Spriter Entries take priority when they're first, I'm not entirely sure what the ruling is if a Spriter can replace or reject an entry, that would be a question for the Dex Managers I think. @hollow nimbus

[pastel depot]

that works lol

ill wait for real

[jagged ledge]

But if the entry is factually wrong based on spriter intention, that seems like a reason for it to be rejected? Maybe? Again, I do not work that side of the reviews, let alone the in-game additions

[pastel depot]

ill wait and see what real says, then move from there

[jagged ledge]

Thank you for your cooperation and patience

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME struggles to fly quickly because of its heavy tail. It doesn't seem very bothered by this, however.
490.393

[quaint turret]

heya, are grammar errors in descriptions to be reported or are they live and let live

[hollow nimbus]

If an author is ever unhappy with their entry, they are allowed to request for it to be denied in #custom-dex-errors

[hollow nimbus]

Read the pins in #custom-dex-errors first so you can see what can be reported and when

(I assume by descriptions you mean pokedex entries rather than descriptions of items in the game. For typos you find in PIF outside of the fusion pokedex, use this thread: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1236053575897972757)

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME travels across the sea at night, breathing new life into decayed coral reefs by scattering stardust from its body.

The two Magnemite are dependent on the biological mass linking them together. If either one were to become disconnected from it, their lives would end.
81.84

[rich goblet]

Which Pokemon is this for?

[rich goblet]

It turns out I wrote this entry. Here's a possible revision I've cooked up!

POKENAME are fully equipped for skiing, from their icy shoes to their skiing pole, they are always ready to slide down hills. Particularly adept POKENAME can flip and spin several times in the air and still make the landing.

[chilly bloom]

I keep forgetting to announce it in here but I got the dex updates and the site now displays 57k+ dex entries

[rancid sun]

What was the number previously?

[chilly bloom]

I think this last update pulled in and 1k entries

I should probably just make a discord bot and let izik use a command when it's time for an update xd

[dusty hound]

Dolee #85.106 April Dexchallenge Day 27: flying type

POKENAME swings its outer heads in wide arcs to attack at longer ranges. After battle, its heads argue loudly over how to fight more effectively.

I didnt know if I could say it wields its other two heads like a nunchucks

[rich goblet]

I think this is fine, I don't see why not

[dusty hound]

so how is

POKENAME wields its outer heads like nunchucks, swinging them in wide arcs to attack at longer ranges. After a battle, its heads argue loudly over how to fight more effectively.

[rich goblet]

a battle, otherwise fine

[final briar]

I was doing errands and then I took a nap, why was I pinged so many times 😆

Lemme see haha

[jagged ledge]

Sorry about that lol

[final briar]

Yes, I was trying to be cute with it bc it's a cute lil guy. You get it! 💖

[quaint turret]

https://fusiondex.org/scolipede+scolipede/
Revert should be reverts
Lengthen and grow should probably be s as well

[rich goblet]

When referring to plural subjects you remove the s

They like

It likes

etc etc

In this case it is plural (the species) so it works

@quaint turret Does that make sense?

[quaint turret]

What is english

[rich goblet]

Engrish ish hard

[pastel depot]

Of all people lol... thank you. (Thiugh the fact you thought it was a hockey stick does mean this has moved up my remake list)

[pastel depot]

Something

[rich goblet]

Do me a favor and fill out a dex error request in #custom-dex-errors and I'll deny the old one, then I can submit the new one and it will show up on the next dex update

[pastel depot]

Alright, it'll be a bit though, im at work

[rich goblet]

👍 No rush

[pastel depot]

And breaks almost over

[hexed fog]

Bork Bork List is up

[hexed fog]

Acorn List is up

https://klipy.com/gifs/blchota-hillary--k01KQDQXS5PEN4ARHK56WJWF2QA

there were like no houndour lol

[hollow quartz]

you mean poochyena?

[rancid sun]

That was quick lol

[hexed fog]

oof yes

and yeah we knocked out most of Poochyena in the prelim lists

[hexed fog]

Batterydog List is up!

[hollow quartz]

ngl i didn't connect the dots with that nickname at first lol

[tepid marsh]

Do we know

if our entries get rejected or used ?

[final briar]

what is this bork bork list, would love to know

[storm light]

you can check by finding your username on the spreadsheet

[tepid marsh]

I have no idea how to navigate this

[storm light]

press ctrl and f, then type in your username

[tepid marsh]

holy shit

it's actually here

I can't believe something I wrote is actually here

This can't be real

[storm light]

idk looks pretty real to me

[hexed fog]

We have a list on the sheet of certain pokemon that need entries asap. I cycle it through different pokemon to keep it varied after each one is done.

[hexed fog]

If a spriter does not like an entry i encourage them to write their own entry. We prioritize spriter entries and deny the nonspriter one. We get a list of these periodically from snrasha and I go through and deny/repurpose

[dusty hound]

I know it isn’t this but the only battery dog I can think of is boltund

[hexed fog]

It's an electrike list lol

[tepid marsh]

is that the same as the spreadsheet ? where is it ?

[rich goblet]

It's on the spreadsheet. On the bottom sheet, it says "Batterydog List".

Please remember not to write entries for any fusion without a preview

[tepid marsh]

I've never done so and I don't think I ever will

why is it called battery dog ?

[rich goblet]

Electrike

Electricity, dog

Battery dog

[tepid marsh]

I thought Electrike was like

a jackal

[rich goblet]

Since when?

[tepid marsh]

it's face and hair reminds me of Anubis

[rich goblet]

I don't see it

[keen kestrel]

I believe lucario is a jackal pokemon

[rich goblet]

@tepid marsh Please do not include quotation marks around your entries

[tepid marsh]

Sorry! I won't do that anymore

[rich goblet]

Also I thought I told you that "unknowable images" is oxymoronic and doesn't make sense

If it is unknowable, how is anyone able to know about the image?

[tepid marsh]

cause it's beamed into your brain via radio raves ? maybe ? I thought that'd be cool

[rich goblet]

A lot of things would be cool but do not fit the vision the dev has for the game.

[tepid marsh]

sorry

[rich goblet]

It's fine, we just have guidelines in place that should be followed

If you haven't already, I would recommend reading through the lorebook in the pinned posts

[rich goblet]

@tepid marsh Normally we don’t inform people when an entry is denied, but I’m making an exception out of courtesy. The entry about unknowable images has been denied.

When you ask for feedback, please listen to the feedback, especially if it comes from an Unown.

You are always free to try writing for the sprite again, just remember that any advice received should be incorporated into an entry.

[tepid marsh]

Ashamed. I will make sure to remember this.

I'll refine my entries even more before posting it here or to the submission

[acoustic scarab]

Oh hey, I remember writing this! I like doing references to palaeontology where I can get away with it, so the vibe I was going for with this was that it becomes kinda like Arthropleura

(On topic, Ducky's right that the plurality is right though, I just wanted a chance to talk inspiration for the theme)

[autumn spear]

Sorry

I accidentally sent it to the wrong channel

My bad

[acoustic scarab]

Nw XD

I figured by the speed of deletion

[autumn spear]

Hehe
I really mess up sometimes 😭

[acoustic scarab]

Hey, we're all human, hope you find some cool ones!

[autumn spear]

Thanks!!

[rich goblet]

Hey no worries, nothing to be ashamed of, it’s part of the learning curve

I’m sure you will write many cool entries in the future

[uneven heart]

Arlosion #24.157

The plume of flames that it releases, combined with its frightening body pattern, makes this Pokémon appear far more terrifying. Its fangs can cause a number of injuries and sicknesses, with fevers being chief among the symptoms.

You have “far more terrifying” which is a comparison, but there’s nothing being compared. I think you can omit “far more” and just have “terrifying”

Also should include POKENAME at the beginning instead of starting with an “it”

[uneven heart]

Understood

[coral crypt]

Oh also, “its fangs can cause”
—> “its fangs cause”

I don’t think “can” or “may” should be used unless it’s a quantitative description (can grow up to, can run up to, etc.)

As POKENAME spins, it scatters tiny crystals while emitting a radiant glow. These fragments attract Carbink which follow POKENAME like a queen, drawn to its light.```

```Butterogue #12.236
POKENAME uses its wings and poison powder to train every part of its body, pushing itself to exhaustion. After a training  session, it searches for honey to enjoy while recovering. ``` 

```Hitmonish #237.43
During the day, POKENAME buries itself in the soil of verdant fields to absorb nutrients. At night it moves while spinning, scattering seeds across the land. ```

```Hitmonolu #237.384
POKENAME spins to feel the waves of others' emotions, allowing it to react quickly depending on the situation.```

[coral crypt]

“Attract Carbinks” —> Attract Carbink (I don’t think pokemon plurals have an “s”)

“Train Session” —> “Training Session”

“Will bury” —> buries & “it’ll move” —> it moves (present tense over future for repeated behavior)

Do we have a list of Pokémon that can't eat in Amie/Refresh?

EDIT: Yes. All cocoon Pokémon, along with specifically Pineco and Shedinja.

@regal cedar This is all I can find

[regal cedar]

Yes.

[harsh chasm]

POKENAME cannot sing well due to its small and condensed vocal cords, so it instead plays elegant melodies through the holes in its shell.
466.213

[rich goblet]

The only thing I would fix is removing the “very” part since it doesn’t add much to the entry. Otherwise great entry

[coral crypt]

And plurality too I think. POKENAME is the species so “their small and condensed”
“They play” and “their shell”

[rich goblet]

It’s alright if it is third person singular so long as the entry can be extrapolated to the species

Like “It swims around” is fine

[coral crypt]

Gotcha ok

[rich goblet]

The general idea is it/its is for animal like or mechanical Pokemon

Those human like is they/them but that system is also entirely optional

[coral crypt]

I’ve been doing all my entries with third person plural if I use POKENAME so good to know

[rich goblet]

POKENAME can reference both single and third person, funnily enough

[dapper patio]

When creating dex entries for reference sprites, is writing about the material being referenced by the sprite allowed?

[hexed fog]

What do you mean

The crystals growing on POKENAME's body include traces of a metal unique to its species that lets them direct electricity towards the tips. Its muscles shift to aim them in the desired direction, also building up electricity through the contractions.

This has been so cool to participate in, especially since it started VERY shortly after I realised I could very much go ahead and add canon lore to the game.

I'll definitely keep entrying around from time to time after this!! ^w^

[dapper patio]

I want to do the dex entries for all the Hollow Knight fusions, and I was wondering if it's okay if I talk about for example a THK sprite about the Hollow Knight's lore

[hexed fog]

Faq 23

[final briar]

When you have been writing dex entries for a bit now and Izik keeps mentioning a sheet
And you want to help but you don't know where this sheet is

[dapper patio]

Where's the FAQ?

[rich goblet]

Admittedly everything is covered by the lorebook now, but the FAQ is in this document, tab on the bottom that says "FAQ"

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?gid=1870730174#gid=1870730174

[dapper patio]

Alright, thanks a lot

[rich goblet]

In the lorebook, it would be covered in the following section

[jagged ledge]

Long story short, you can replicate the effects/powers/story of the character, but you can't say it's the character or has out-of-game reference material.

Shadow the Hedgehog freezes time with Chaos Control: ❌

POKENAME freezes time with the Chaos Emeralds: ❌

POKENAME freezes time by harnessing excess energy through crystals: ✅

Just make it fit Dex Tone and logic and we're typically willing to forgive quite a bit.

[dense ferry]

Giving you a suggestion is not a insult.

[storm light]

You consistently fail to use proper structuring, nouns, etc. Please work on your English.
True, as Duck said however, English may not be their first language. Frankly, as a native English speaker, this kind of reads as insulting the original poster, which I assume Duck also felt and is why they said what they did.

Not to mention the entire message reads as a snarky-toned "Ugh, fine." moment

[jagged ledge]

While we appreciate your perspective and support, it would be best not to escalate this issue further outside of staff and the people effected.

[dense ferry]

No offense but even if he did feel insulted it doesnt mean I insulted him.

[hexed fog]

Not even that but writing in chat isnt going to be perfect grammar

I literally never have perfect grammar in chat

[jagged ledge]

True, you forgot to add a period.

[hexed fog]

[thorn ingot]

You forgot the period after . .

[hexed fog]

Real is the one thats goodererer with words

[hollow nimbus]

I totally get where you're coming from; it's easy to get wrapped up in the neutral logic of grammar. However, you have to keep in mind that a lot of people can be rather delicate when it comes to their writing. It's important to consider the feelings of the people you are criticizing when you choose your words.

The most concrete way to do this is to look for constructive criticism vs judgements. Saying things like "you consistently fail" and the contents are "completely rambunctious" are judgements that don't aid the criticism. They tell the person you are speaking to that you have already decided the state of their skills and the state of their work, which usually is taken offensively by the person being judged. Saying things like, "remove the comma there" or "try replacing this word with a synonym" is constructive, as it provides a concrete way to improve. "Work on your English" and "focus on improving your grammer" (Typo is not mine) is about the same as "just do better".

Lastly, your suggestions were phrased as commands. Nobody wants to hear "do everything that I told you to do", especially when your orders were to go away and study alone.

I completely understand that you weren't trying to come across as rude

[hexed fog]

This is why she does the writing

[thorn ingot]

Said by the person with 8k+ entries btw

[jagged ledge]

I mean, even they still have to go through review

[thorn ingot]

I know

[hexed fog]

My entries are usually basic af

Quantity>Quality

[thorn ingot]

Yeah aren’t your entries typically near 120-150 character range?

[hexed fog]

Yeah I dont go over on purpose

Its usually

POKENAME does thing. This makes thing do thing

POKENAME has thing. Thing is thing from this

[rich goblet]

Everything happens when I’m away

[severe scroll]

Whoa, what did I miss?

I'm sick and then things go Zubatshit crazy?

[rich goblet]

You're sick? Oh no

[severe scroll]

Thank you for the support.

[storm light]

tbh? nothin much

[severe scroll]

I lost my voice for a while, but I'm just surviving the recovery cough now

[hexed fog]

Sounds like

[severe scroll]

I've been writing dex entries off and on

[hexed fog]

[severe scroll]
