<@&392803830900850688> Results are in, people!

Clearly the majority of you guys want a voting system for sprite alts, so after discussing the details with the rest of staff, we're gonna be trialing one for the next few months! You can read about the system in the #dex-entries-submissions pin . We may adjust the exact mechanics as time goes on, however. We'll see how it goes. #discord-suggestions is a good place to suggest ideas if you have any!

For now, there will be a batch of 30ish voting pairs dropping around the beginning of each month when I prep the monthly packs, and the votes will be open for at least 24 hours. I'll ping <@&1019381948709343282> when new votes are available, so make sure to grab the role from #roles if you want to be notified! everyone's allowed to vote, spriter or not.

I'll also be trickling in batches of sprites to be voted on between sprite pack releases, as we have a lot of old alts to sift through. 10 polls are already up!

While I have you sprite people pinged, I'd also like to bring your attention to our new and increasingly blue roles, <@&1016903448756760618> , <@&1016904546682941453> and <@&1016904862363037777> Everyone should already have their appropriate role, but please DM a sprite manager once you've posted enough sprites to the gallery to earn the next tier!

Hey spriters! quick note about #spriting-discussion!

Going forward, please only post up to six sprites per thread.

Threads for more than one sprite make it very difficult and time consuming for us sprite managers to track which sprite have or haven't been posted to the gallery, and which gallery posts were or weren't posted to spritework, so we'd appreciate it a lot if you posted different sprites separately each with their own thread when possible.

We know y'all like to post things like full evo lines and batches of sprites using the same head mon together though, so 6 sprites per thread seems like a fair middle-ground.

Also, reminder: Please always use the full name of every mon you sprited in your thread names so we can search for them easily!

[fading blade]

report any mistakes to #sprite-errors-old plz also please not that alts are slowly getting merged into the main custombattler folders since thats where the game can read them for sprite swapping in the pokédex bear with me while things are inconsistent tho, because a lot of alts are awaiting voting and thus remain in the folder for now

[stoic verge]

Hello, everyone! We have decided to trial turning #spriting-discussion into a forum as opposed to the typical thread structure. The reason for trying this is because it works almost identically to the way we use threads now, but it's easier to organise and more condensed, so you don't have to scroll as much to see all of the new sprites that are being posted. We plan on trying this for the next month or so, please let us know what you think about this new system as you give it a try.

Posts in #spriting-discussion will currently be paused to make sure everyone gets to experience the new system and offer their input. If you seek feedback, please post a topic in #1050404143807873157 and from there it's exactly the same formula as it is now. #is-my-sprite-ready is still open for you to get some final input on your sprites before posting them to #sprite-gallery, just link your forum the same way you'd link your thread in the current system.

We'll keep you posted on any changes we plan on making in the near future. If you have any concerns or wishes, don't be afraid to DM a Staff Member, we just want the best thing for all members here, and that of course includes our spriting community. 😄

Hello! We have created a new #gameplay-help channel for when you need help to progress in the game. Please refrain from asking for help with the game in the other channels as much as possible so that they can be used for discussion

[stoic verge]

<@&392803830900850688> Hi everyone! We're nearing the end of the trial period for #1050404143807873157 and the forum feedback system (it's been three weeks), so we'd really appreciate if you took a little bit of your time to fill out this survey and give your thoughts about the change, and whether or not it should be made permanent. The survey shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes at the very most.

I'll close the poll in a week, so you've got a few days to let your voice be heard. 😄

[SURVEY CLOSED]

[stoic verge]

The results for the #1050404143807873157 poll are in! 77.3% of you preferred the new system to the old one, so we will be keeping the forums. All of the content from the previous iteration of the channel will be fully preserved as #spriting-discussion, and you can look back on them at any time. 😄

Unrelated to the previous poll, we also have one regarding the future of #artwork ongoing right now. Head over to #1060548426611302541 to cast your vote (and make sure the vote is cast in the thread)! 🙂

Hey! It is no secret that this server has grown quite a bit recently. We went from about 20k members to almost 60k in just a few months. And so, in order to deal with the influx of new members, we have decided to expand the moderation team.

At this time, we are looking for 2 new moderators. Please do apply if you're interested in joining the staff team and you think you could do a good job as a moderator.

Before you apply, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the duties that are expected from a moderator (as well as the rest of the staff roles): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BdbSq4lDaXLkWOvond_zIyZHw8pFmUEuqvgkqjCkvmE/edit#heading=h.8t6cad3khwsw

If you are interested, you can apply by filling it this form. The applications will be open for a few days and then be reviewed by me and the current moderators team. The selected users will be contacted by DM.
https://forms.gle/EfjeyqMLRvNHFGP7A

[sand egret]

In the same vein as the previous announcement, we've also decided to open up applications for the Sprite manager role.

We're looking for about two new sprite managers to help with with giving sprites feedback, archiving spritesm and cleaning up noQA sprites . Please do apply if you're interested in joining the staff team and you think you could do a good job with it.

Again, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the role and what would be expected of someone with that role before you apply: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BdbSq4lDaXLkWOvond_zIyZHw8pFmUEuqvgkqjCkvmE/edit#heading=h.8t6cad3khwsw

You can submit your applications using this form:

[sand egret]

The staff team is expanding! We're happy announce that two new moderators:@worthy gust and @sleek hare @prime echo, as well as four new sprite managers: @prime echo , @eager pollen, @deft gulch, @spice cosmos will be joining the team!
Congratulations and thanks to everyone else who applied! 🎉 🎉 🎉

[stoic verge]

As our server expands, it means that new audiences are making their way into the Infinite Fusion community. Pokémon is a game played by people of all ages, as is IF. We therefore aim for this server to be similar, and this is why Rule 2 is in place. We're going to be enforcing this rule more strictly a part of our new moderation push, so please show some restraint and do not post NSFW content in this server. Show some restraint when there are literally children present here.

[fading blade]

The January pack is here!!! Sorry it took so long, there were over 4000 sprites to process, including almost a thousand polls to do in #dex-entries-submissions

However I'd like to thank you all for your incredible work, it's amazing to see so many new faces contributing so much great art to the game! Maybe we'll reach 100% completion one day

Also, note 1: that this month's pack also contains 1) all previous joke alts and 2) all prevous regional alts they are still alts (even if there's no main) so no one sees them in game by default, but now they'll be included in the main CustomBattlers so they can be easily accessible to be swapped through the Pokédex in game, without having to manually sort the sprites!

And, note 2: the 1-86 pack has been ran through PNGGauntlet, greatly reducing its size! If you'd like your IF game to be a little more lightweight, please replace your games's folder with the one from the full pack! (that's you, @sand egret )

And while we're at it, note 3: icons don't work with the current version of the game, so I've taken then out for now. I'm still collecting new ones tho, and I'll add em all back in if/when they become usable again

If you see any mistakes (misnamed sprites, etc) please report that in #1052360360172199977

[sand egret]

New version [5.1.2]
Download links: #downloads message
Since the game is now able to download sprites on the go, I have also included a more lightweight version which comes with no custom or autogen sprites. The game will download the latest custom sprites (or autogen when none exist) whenever it needs it. This version will require an internet connection to play however. A version with the latest spritepacks pre-downloaded is also available as always.

Changelog
New features and changes

• Added option to automatically download missing custom and autogen sprites at runtime (requires internet connection)
• Added Battle Tower
• Added new NPC selling evolution items in Battle Factory
• Added Eviolite to Battle Factory/Tower prizes list
• Replaced Eviolite with Reaper Cloth in Lavender Hidden Tomb

• Removed the dive spot on route 21
• Improved male character's walk / run animation (Thanks Ducky#3767 )

• Fixed exploit that made it possible to get all quest rewards early
• Ghosts in Ecruteak tower now teleport away after pushing the player to prevent getting stuck
• Fixed some tiling issues (Thanks Hugo Maia#8496)

To add the sprites to your game, drag the pack's custombattlers folder into your game's graphics folder and it will merge with the existing one. then, run the game, and it will index all the files. if it asks you if you want to replace the existing sprites with the new ones, select yes!

a large amount of files had .PNG extensions instead of .png and couldnt be read by the game, this pack 👀 here are the fixed versions for those sprite in questions :TeamBidoof: pack

[fading blade]

So it turns out that, thanks to our amazing spriting community growing exponentially every day, we need even more Sprite Managers on board! Please consider lending a hand if you're an active member of the community who'd like to help out with giving feedback in spritework, reviewing spriter role applications, or sifting through thousands of files to help prep sprite packs.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the role and what would be expected of someone with that role before you apply: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BdbSq4lDaXLkWOvond_zIyZHw8pFmUEuqvgkqjCkvmE/edit#heading=h.8t6cad3khwsw

Sprite pack 88 is here!

This pack contains over ten thousand (10 000) sprites. That is 1/5th of all sprites that were ever made for the game. It's 1/17th of the entire dex!

Needless to say I'm completely blown away by all this amazing work thank you all for contributing to the game! Keep it up and one day we may reach 100% completion

the monthly March pack is attached to this message!

please flag any mistakes you find in #1052360360172199977! (which i am still very behind on, please bear with me )

Please note that all new sprites for fusions that have existing sprites are alts for now. they will be voted in #dex-entries-submissions sometime in the future when we have time to poll them, because frankly, having to make 2000 polls before being able to release this pack is very unrealistic sorry for the lack of democracy, please forgive us 🙏

To add the sprites to your game, drag the pack's Custombattlers folder into your game's graphics folder and it will merge with the existing Custombattlers folder. then, run the game, and it will index all the files. if it asks you if you want to replace the existing sprites with the new ones, select yes!

For the monthly pack, you can also just ctrl+A to select all the individual image files and paste those in your game's Custombattlers folder

Dear fellow IF enjoyers, we're happy to announce the new <@&1093003746075738133> role!

If you're a <@&392803830900850688> and willing to contribute even more by giving feedback in #1050404143807873157, sign up for the role in the #roles channel.
And if you're in the process of making a gorgeous new sprite but you feel like you lack feedback on your work, feel free to use /feedbackpls command inside your forum to ping 5 random <@&1093003746075738133> people to call for help.
Have fun everyone!

[autumn cliff]

Hello dear average IF fans and enjoyers! The Sprite Manager team expands once again, with four new managers this time! Please give them a warm welcome:

• @rough pebble
• @vague temple
• @worthy creek
• @dire socket
  Nothing much visible from the outside but you can also expect some changes to our team in the near future! ||Hopefully at some point this server will actually be manageable ||
  Thanks everyone for applying!! 🎉

[prime echo]

Hey <@&1093003746075738133> types:
There's a bot now so we don't ping 80 people to give feedback on the same thread. Use /feedbackpls to ping 5 random online people with the feedback role! It's available in any spritework thread.

Hopefully this will save your phone batteries for those of you with the hubris to take this role in the first place and had discord notifications on, and the brainpower of those who somehow decided it was a good idea to keep the role despite being pinged 50+ times a day.

P.S. If you see someone using the command multiple times in the same thread, let a staff member know so we can appropriately bop them. Don't use it multiple times in the same thread excessively, or you will be bopped for spamming.

Hey, IF members! Some extensive changes are being made to a few roles around here, so I thought it would be a good idea to announce and explain the changes in detail.
First up is Hall of Fame roles.

All the HOF roles except the Fourth and Fifth are now gone, and have been renamed to Playthrough Champion, and Playthrough Master respectively.
The requirements for getting them are still the same, 10 HOFs and 20 HOFs.

The other roles changed are the Completionist roles, for Spriters. The new system is a little complex, but should hopefully solve a few problems.
"Completionist" will no longer be about Completing, instead, showing how much you like one pokemon.

Making 50 of a pokemon, head or body, gets you a tier up in the new system. The new roles are:
Poke Fan/Great Poke Fan/Ultra Poke Fan/Master Pokefan
Poke Maniac/Great Poke Maniac/Ultra Poke Maniac/Master Poke Maniac
Each tier in this system is 50 of any one pokemon. You can mix and match heads and bodies for your 50 batch. Alts are allowed for any amount of the 50.
Each batch of 50 can be a new different pokemon, or the same pokemon as your previous batch.

Examples:
50 chinchous and 50 voltorbs will get you Great Poke Fan.
100 voltorbs will ALSO get you Great Poke Fan.

Because it's no longer "Completionist", these roles can be obtained before, or after the completion of a pokemon. Reaching 100% no longer stops the obtaining of these roles.

Please ping or dm a sprite manager if you qualify for this new role!

[stoic verge]

The staff team is expanding further! We're happy announce that two new Moderators are joining the team, and these are @graceful bane and @wary gorge. 😃
Congratulations to them, and thanks to everyone else who applied! 🎉 🎉 🎉

[wary gorge]

Hello, IF server! A small change has been made to the function of one of the artwork channels, so here's an explanation on what we did:

#sprite-charts has been retooled into #1110678444896964628. It serves mostly the same purpose, but is now a forum, and allows broader projects to have their own threads made. Instead of just being for team threads, it now allows update threads for IF websites, official game projects, events, and more. We'll slowly be phasing out #sprite-charts and letting it die off naturally, and eventually making it a public archive like #spriting-discussion.

If you previously had a thread for your team, please go to #1110680705018646658 and request a team thread there! A staff member will make one for you as soon as they can.

Hey people! A while ago we had to activate phone verification as a security measure against increasing numbers of bots and such. Just today, phone verification has become mandatory for all server members who want to chat.

If you don't have a phone or don't want Discord to have your number, please send a DM a <@&306953740651462656> (the purple people you can find on the side bar or in ⁠#staff-presentations) to be verified manually!

I know I said the next sprite pack would be a double pack, but with the time sprite packs take to prep, I thought I'd give myself and my fellow sprite managers a little bit more of leeway and change the schedule a bit . Starting from the July pack, all sprite packs will come out on the last day of each following month. The July pack will come out on August 31st, the August pack will release on the 30th of September, etc! This will allow us to spend more time making sure there aren't any errors in the pack, rather than rushing it out asap every month! I hope you understand the change!

• Please report any misnamed sprites and other errors to ⁠sprite-errors

An egg has mysteriously appeared in the Pokédex! What could be inside of it? Let's hatch it and find out!! It should take 300 steps to hatch. Use your reactions to help! 🏃

[fading blade]

Congratulations you hatched the egg in record time! Faster than I could even write this annoucement This reaveal is, of course, actually THREE Pokémon, all rolled into one announcement! Please welcome our new additions to the IF Pokédex:

VENIPEDE, WHIRLIPEDE AND SCOLIPEDE!

Spriters, please give these sprites a whirl! Dex numbers are 422, 423 and 424!

Enter the Venipede Family Mini Classic Contest too!

I almost forgot to mention: these are the STAFF PICK! They do NOT count towards the 20 Pokémon you guys are voting in! They're extra!! Thank you Froggerton for the bonus mons!

[fading blade]

Our expert archeologists have found a new fossil in Kanto! They only found one fossil, which is somewhat unusual since fossils usually come in pairs, but even stranger is that we can't quite tell what Pokémon it will revive into yet! I reckon we will be able to excavate it fully with about 1000 pickaxe swings. Let's get digging! ⛏️⛏️⛏️

[fading blade]

https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-22-2015/pVOXJp.gif

Through the collaboration of a thousand trainers excavating its fossil and a quick revival later, joining the IF Pokédex are none other than...

TYRUNT AND TYRANTRUM!

Keep in mind, this terrific T-rex comes alone, for no Amaura or Aurorus fossil were found!

Have fun, spriters! Dex numbers are 425 and 426!

Join the Tyrunt Family Mini Classic Contest too!

Hey! We're currently seeking new sprite managers to join the infinite fusion team!

We're looking for approximately 3 new sprite managers with a Spriter support profile specifically. As a sprite manager, your main responsibilities would be reviewing spriter applications and giving feedback and advice to spriters on how to improve their sprites.

An ideal candidate would be an active member with good spriting experience, who is kind and patient and has a genuine interest in motivating others.

Please consider applying if this accurately describes you and you're interested in the role!

You can submit your application using this form
https://forms.gle/mcMcgV6npZBDPFVa6

[fading blade]

Now, we don't know if they'll actually be found in the ice mountains, but wherever they end up being implemented: joining the IF Pokédex are...

SNORUNT, GLALIE AND FROSLASS!

All three open up incredibly design opportunity for you, spriters, so I hope you have fun! Their dex number are 427, 428 and 429!

Join the Snorunt Family Mini Classic Contest
too!

Please also remember that you can [apply to be a sprite manager](#announcements message) right now!

Soooo, which of these is your favorite color 💛❤️💜? 👀 Asking for a friend. ||The friend is Pokémon Infinite Fusion. ||||Let's see which one gets to 1000 first.||

[fading blade]

thats 1000 👀

Sike, Infinite Fusion's favorite color is ALL OF THEM!!! Dancing in the flower fields of IF, you will now find:

ORICORIO, IN ALL OF ITS FORMS!

This is once again an EXTRA Pokémon or is it four extra Pokémon? that doesn't count towards the 20 community picks! This was my personal pick, which really was evil ploy to twist Frogman's arm into making forms supported in IF! Now, due to how Pokédex numbers, types, stats, etc are calculated, this means that they each have their own Pokédex number, which is a bit wacky But this also means other Pokémon, such as Rotom and Giratina, may also get their forms change added to IF in the (far) future! 👀 4,294,967,296 Spinda patterns when

Here are some bird facts for y'all:

• Oricorio and Oricorio fusions will be able to change forms freely by interacting with any flower in the overworld!
• Revelation Dance takes on the primary type of the Pokémon! Free stab
• All forms are visually different fusion-wise, so that's x4 as many sprites to make for each Pokémon! Oricorio effectively has 16 self-fusions, too

Here are their dex numbers:

Oricorio Baile Style (red): 430
Oricorio Pom-Pom Style (yellow): 431
Oricorio Pa'u Style (pink): 432
Oricorio Sensu Style (purple): 433

Spriters, I can't wait to see all the cute dance outfits you put on these birds! Have some custom sprites I made alongside the Smogon ones to help get you started!

Join the Oricorio Mini Classic Contest too!!

[sand egret]

A playtest version with the new Pokémon is now available!

<@&1093003158969655356>

So to give a bit of context, in order to be able to add more Pokémon to the game I had to pretty much completely remake how the game handles fusions from the ground up. Long story short, the fusion's data (stats, movesets, typings, etc.) are now being generated on the fly instead of being pre-recorded in a database. Since this is a pretty major change, it also comes with its load of potential new bugs, that's why we need you guys to help iron this out as much as possible before the full update is ready to be released.

What is included?

• New system for generating fusions dynamically (should be invisible to the players)
• All previously announced new Pokémon, including Oricorio* which was just announced today!
• Form changing flowers mechanic for Oricorio
• Free rare candies in Viridian City Pokemart to help with testing
• Everything else that was already in the base game

*For the purpose of the playtest, Oricorio has been made into the starter Pokémon to make it easier to test form changes

What we are looking for:

• Bug reports, specifically for any feature that involves fused Pokémon (Battles, Fusing, Trades, Pokedex, Randomizer, etc.)
• Any new issues that weren't present in the game before
• Feedback on game performance (compared to the older versions)
• Problems with the calculated the fused pokemon's or differences in how it is being calculated compared to the older versions (Names, Typings, Stats, Movesets, Abilities, Evolutions, Pokédex entries, Sprites, etc.)
• Inconsistencies or issues with Oricorio's form change mechanics
• Potential balance issues for the new Pokémon
• Issues with the autogenerated sprites (especially new Pokémon)

Please use #1142871804269052004 with the "playtest" tag to report bugs

Ayy

I was using GitHub to host my fusion calculator and the custom sprites, in two repositories.
Because of that, GitHub was receiving a dangerous amount of traffic.
Therefore, they have decided to permanently lock my two repositories.

I am sorry for the inconvenience, i will find another way to host my fusion calculator and the custom sprites.

The website aegide.github.io will never become available.
I am considering using https://aegide.gitlab.io/ to host my website (if GitLab allows it).

Until this is over, feel free to use https://if.daena.me/, it's a great website.

Evening everyone. Got a lil' event to announce today, it mostly pertains to <@&392803830900850688>s, but anyone is welcome to join!

@verbal lynx here will be hosting a Stage seminar/class on Wing Anatomy to help out with the recent Oricorio additions! However, we are currently deciding a time and would like further input.

Please vote on the poll below to give us that input on what would work best.

[upbeat kernel]

With everything website related going I thought I'd take the moment to announce that to handle the massive influx of traffic to my website I've now migrated it to a proper web host. If the top of the site says "FusionDex+" then that means the request has been served by the new host rather than my closet server.

Evening everyone

A time has been decided for @verbal lynx's seminar.

It will be tomorrow at 2pm EST

[sleek hare]

The relative time to other timezones is within this message here

[fading blade]

A new version of the Pokémon Infinite Fusion playtest has been released! Play it here!

I've been told there may be a new Pokémon in it...
||It's also not actually a playtest ||

[fading blade]

Oops! It turns out that wasn't a playtest!

Click here to play the totally real, updated playtest!

It totally doesn't contain a bunch of updated hints you may want to comb through, by the way.

[fading blade]

That's right, whether you got the good ending or bad ending in the "playtest", both amount to the same thing: one new line of Pokémon joins Infinte Fusion:

PHANTUMP AND TREVENANT!

Press F for your poor kid, who died to get you this new Pokémon 😔 Phantump's dex number is 438, and Trevenant is 439!

There will be NO contest for this new Pokémon! There is, however, a Team Rush for Trevenant! Come help out this team effort! 💪

have fun, spriters!

[sleek hare]

<@&392803830900850688>s, our wing seminar is about to start!! Please join the stage if you were interested

Thank you for attending the seminar!!! Things went really well, so there may be more in the future!!!

((For example, I may do a spike seminar ))

We are currently in the process of migrating the game's sprites database from github to gitlab. In about an hour from now, the old github repository from which the game downloads the sprites for the dynamic version will be closed.

This means that dynamic versions of the game prior to v5.3.1.2 will no longer be able to automatically download both autogenerated and custom sprites. You can update your game to version 5.3.1.2 via the game's installer found in #downloads . Sorry for the inconvenience.

This will not affect the preloaded version.

5.3.1.2 patch notes

• changed dynamic sprites download source
• fixed bug making it impossible to obtain the infinite splicers
• fixed bug causing water splashes on some bridges

[fading blade]

Introduced in the trolliest way possible, two dragons swoop into the IF Pokédex this week!

Noibat and Noivern, Swablu and Altaria!

Their dex numbers are as follows:

Noibat: 440
Noivern: 441
Swablu: 442
Altaria: 443

Also join the Triple Dragon Mini Classic Contest!

Hello spriters! It's come to our attention that there's been an issue regarding giving proper credit when using other user's custom bases and assets. We've discussed how to tackle this issue, and came to the conclusion that an update to the #spriter-agreement message was necessary.

This change only applies to discord, in-game credits won't be affected. For spritework threads, it's recommended, but it won't be enforced. Just make sure it's included in the gallery post 🙂

Also with the ongoing credits project, it would help us a lot if the word "collab" was included in gallery posts that need more than one person credited. These need to be put in manually so it would help us more easily credit concept artists, spriters who helped with no-qa sprites, and etc.

It's not required, but of course you guys are welcome to edit your old https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/543958354377179176 and/or
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1094790320891371640 posts if you so wish. Just remember it needs to be included from here on out if you use someone's custom base or assets! Here is what we added for clarity:

Base & Asset Credits

• When using custom bases or custom assets made by other users, you must include credits in your #sprite-gallery post if the other user requested to be credited in their #assets-gallery post. Credits should look like "base [pokémon name] by @[user]" or something similar.
• You may (but don't have to) credit the creator of the base or asset even if they don't specifically request it, as a courtesy.
• If a user asks not to be pinged, simply write their username without the @ and then edit the ping in after posting.
• Refusing to properly credit a base after being asked will lead to your #sprite-gallery post to be deleted if you don't edit your post within 72 hours.

[fading blade]

20 community picks total. Sixteen revealed. Only four slots remains. Today is not the day we reveal them. >8] Behold, IF fans, today starts:

THE BIG BONUS BLITZ!

Frogman hasn't been sitting around this entire time, no! He's been hard at work on the game, which means we're getting EVEN MORE Pokémon than initially planned! These bonus Pokémon are a mix of his own favourites and Pokémon that will be beneficial to the game for a variety of reasons other than them being popular with the community. Here's how things will work:

• We will be revealing one evolutionary line per day for the next seven days, from Sept 30th to October 6th!
• There won't be any fancy games or reaction goals to get the new reveals for any of them. You'll get one teaser image at most. Maybe.
• There will NOT be any contests for these Pokémon! I'll be honest though, we need to get as many sprites for them as possible before the new version of the game comes out, so we've got a juicy sprite incentive for you:

The Spriter Choice Award

• Any spriter who makes AT LEAST ONE SPRITE of the new Pokémon revealed during the Blitz will be allowed to participate in an exclusive Spriter only Pokémon popularity poll, much like the poll that the whole community was allowed to vote on, from which the ONE winning Pokémon line will be picked and added to the game directly!
• Making more than one sprite will increase the power of your votes! Each different Bonus Blitz Pokémon you make a sprite for will increase the power of your votes by one, up to a maximum multiplier of however many Pokémon will be revealed during the Blitz. Making multiple sprites of the same Bonus Blitz Pokémon doesn't increase your chances further, and a sprite of a fusion of two Bonus Blitz mon will only count for one.
• To participate, simply make at least ONE OR MORE FUSION SPRITE containing Pokémon revealed during the Bonus Blitz, and submit it to the #sprite-gallery! Make sure to put it through #1050404143807873157 first, of course. make sure to #1134483288703119361 if you can't post to the Gallery yet, too!
• You will have until the end of October 20th to participate.

Now, what could be the first Bonus Pokémon we reveal? 🤔

[fading blade]

https://tenor.com/view/bewear-stufful-pokemon-gif-15561359

Stuffing themselves into the Pokémon Infinite Fusion Pokédex comes our first two Bonus Blitz Pokémon:

Stufful and Bewear!

That's TWO new Pokémon you can make sprites for to increase your voting power in the future Spriter's Choice poll! Fuse them with any other IF Pokémon and make some cute plushies!!

Their dex numbers are 451 and 452!

[fading blade]

These are really unique mons, so I hope you have fun, spriters! dex numbers are 454 and 455!

[fading blade]

Taking root in the IF Pokédex's sandy dunes comes our two favourite spooky cactuses:

Cacnea and Cacturne!

[fading blade]

Sand
React with 2000⏳ to unlock more sand I lied, there's no reaction goal

[fading blade]

At long last, the sand baits are no more! Today I'm happy to confirm the rumors: joining the IF Pokédex are...

Sandygast and Palossand!

Sandygast survived Noivern's attack! Alas it has no shovel, so hopefully you spriters can take various parts of other Pokémon and fuse them onto this lil' pile of sand to make some fun fusions! Sandygast and Palossand's dex numbers are 459 and 460!

[fading blade]

You had already found the fossil at 1000 pickaxe swings, and yet,you kept digging. At 3500 picks deep, we found another...

[fading blade]

An ice cold blast from the past! Against all odds, Tyrunt's counterpart joins the Pokédex!

Amaura and Aurorus!

This is the LAST reveal of the Big Bonus Blitz! The next reveals will be the remaining community picks, which will come a little over 2 weeks from now

In the meantime, remember to make as many sprites from the Spriter's choice Award as possible! You can get your votes to count for up to x12 if you make at least one sprite for each of the Bonus Blitz mons 💪 You have until the 20th to post those sprites to the #sprite-gallery!

Speaking of, Amaura and Aurorus's dex numbers are 461 and 462! Make some pretty sprites y'all!

Community Announcement

Not too long ago a user brought up concerns regarding a fusion inspired by goblins and the considerable overlapping traits between goblins and common dehumanizing depictions of Jewish people. Their concerns were met with mockery and belittling, which is not tolerated on this server, and hindered a functional dialogue.

We take these concerns seriously and we hope to work with both the spriter and the concerned user to ensure this sprite won't be offensive to Jewish people. Our response to the situation was not up to par but we aim to get better regarding sprites with sensitive imagery to let spriters keep their creative freedom while also ensuring that users can voice their concerns without being harassed.

To reaffirm:

• We do not tolerate hateful imagery in sprites.
• Accidental sensitive imagery happens, especially with Hypno and Jynx, and we aim to resolve every instance of it.
• Given the overwhelming amount of users in this server, many of them minors, we ask you to bring concerns regarding sprites to Sprite Managers and concerns regarding users to Moderators by either mentioning them or DM'ing them. This is both for your safety and so that we can respond more efficiently.

[fading blade]

The Spriter's Choice Award poll is open!

If you can't access the link, it's because you're not a spriter or applying for the role :p So go #1134483288703119361 if you're intending on making some sprites for the Blitz! Votes will only counted if you've posted your sprites to the Gallery, though!

Obscure clues, mysterious quests, strange Pokémon to use, keywords to decipher... This could only mean one thing. Much like in their original game, these Pokémon could only be found by finding their secret resting ground, which @heavy wyvern found first. But the GOAT, 👑@primal scaffold, is the one that cracked the final code! Thanks to them, we've unlocked these COMMUNITY PICKS:

REGIROCK, REGICE AND REGISTEEL!

Finally, they're reunited with their master, Regigigas!

Join the Regi Trio Sprite Contest, too!

These should be fun to make sprites for! Their dex numbers are 447, 448 and 449!

Contest winners raffle picks!

Hey everyone! It's time to announce the Pokémon that were picked for the contest winners raffle!

Over the past couple of months, we've had sprite contests for most of the new Pokémon that were just added to the game in update 6.0. On top of having their sprite be the server's picture until the next contest, each of the winners got to add their favourite Pokémon to this raffle

One line will be randomly selected from this list and will be added to the game!

The drawing will be done live in the announcement channel in about a week from now (the exact date and time will be communicated in advance, don't worry)

These are the Pokémon that were chosen by the contest winners:

[sand egret]

Reminder: BEWARE OF FAKE "OFFICIAL" WEBSITES

Recently, a number of fake websites that claim to be the game's official website have popped up and even appear on top of the actual official sources when you google the game.

These websites are made by scammers and anything you download from there likely contains malware.

The ONLY safe places to download the game are:

• The #downloads channel on this Discord
• The game's Pokecommunity thread
• The Pokémon Infinite Fusion wiki

Any other website is NOT an official source even if they claim to be so and you should never download anything from them.

Here's a link to report fake websites to Google if you come across them https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/?hl=en

[spice cosmos]

Due to a recent discord update, some users have noticed that downloaded images are compressed to jpeg quality.

Who's affected:

People using the discord website

How to fix:

Right click on the image, click on "Open in Browser" then download that image

Who's not affected:

People using the discord mobile app or desktop app

We apologize for the inconvenience. Discord is being a poop.

Contest winners raffle today!

Today is the big day! As many of you know a new line of pokémon will join the world of infinite fusion. During the past few months, each contest winner has added their favourite Pokémon line to this raffle and a winner will be picked randomly to be added to the game!

The drawing itself will be held directly here in the #announcements channel today at 1PM (EST)

To make the thing all fair and square we'll do a /roll command live in this channel so it's impossible for us to cheat!

Make sure to tune in <t:1701021600:R> !

Have you ever wanted to help keep the server running smoothly or to help the community? If you're that kind of selfless & amazing individual, this is for you!

To go along with our team of Watchogs (the people who help with moderation) we've introduced several new staff helper roles! Here's what each of the roles will do:

🔑 Klefki: Give people the Spriter role.
🦝 Zigzagoon: Post abandoned sprites to the gallery.
🥚 Chansey: Help fix sprite errors.
☁️ Swablu: Ensure sprites went through Spritework.
Porygon: Give tech support to users.

If any of these tasks sounds fun to you, please head over to #become-a-staff-helper to see a more in-depth explanation of the roles, and apply! We'd love to have your help! These roles will always be open to apply for, though, so no need to rush into it! Note: we're only looking to have a small team of active users for each of these roles, so we may be a bit choosy with who give the roles to right now!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas is finally upon us and 2024 is right around the corner. This year we've seen many new faces join the server and many big changes to Pokémon IF. Loads of new Pokémon and updates, many new spriters and over 90K new sprites added this year alone thanks to all of your amazing work! The server has exploded and soon we will be at 469K members.

With this in mind, it seems only fair that we give our most sincere thanks to all of you wonderful people. I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday ahead of you. But before I go, on behalf of the staff team, we will leave you with one special message for Christmas. Santa got in touch with us and worked with us on this extra special video for all of you.

Again, have a merry Christmas here at Infinite Fusion!

This is an UPCOMING FEATURE that will be added to the game sometime later this year hopefully! Here's the gist of how it will work:

• You will be able to change your skin color, hat, haircut, hair color and outfit in-game!
• Some outfits, hats and hairstyles will be unlockable through gameplay, such as NPC gifts, shops and quest rewards.
• Players will be able to add custom outfits, hairstyles and hats straight into the game folders as well.

The feature itself is still extremely early in development, so take all the above info with a grain of salt, it's all still subject to change.

While Frogman works on the coding side of things, we community members can do what we do best: make some amazing sprites! Please head to the Character Customization PIF Project thread if you'd like to contribute and make sprite sheets or to see what's in the works!

[fading blade]

Hey everyone, I bring thee more awesome UPCOMING PIF FEATURES, courtesy of our dear frog overlord! Presenting:

✒️ CUSTOM POKÉDEX ENTRIES! 📝

That's right, you can now contribute your creativity to the game, even if you don't want to make sprites! This feature will be added soon™️ to a later game update! Probably not the very next one, though, Froggo has other stuff to work on, we just want to gather lots of entries in advance.

Please head over to #dex-entries-submissions to learn about the procedure and start submitting entries!

Additionally, you can brainstorm ideas and ask questions in this new pif-projects thread: #1201260356182483134
Have fun writing!

<@&1093003389933203556> We're finally rounding up the last sprites of 2023 yall! 2023 was our biggest year yet BY FAR, thank you all for the thousands and thousands of sprites you've all contributed to the game!! Let's hope 2024 is full of amazing sprites too!

The monthly pack is attached to this message!

The full pack containing all sprites ever up to the end of December 2023 can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X3kHQJOfEdZBi9cjCtyL8WUQ38IYF8-X/view?usp=drive_link

(if you can't download the full pack, wait til tomorrow, the daily limit will reset )

• To add the sprites to your game, drag the pack's Custombattlers folder into your game's graphics folder and it will merge with the existing Custombattlers folder. then, run the game, and it will index all the files. if it asks you if you want to replace the existing sprites with the new ones, select yes!

• Use the Pokemon Infinite Fusion Installer to download sprites directly to the Graphics folder, if you're having a hard time with the zip!

• You do NOT need to download this pack if you're playing on the Dynamic version, your game will download them automatically as needed!

• Please report any misnamed sprites and other errors to #1052360360172199977

[fading blade]

The custom Pokédex entries are a success! Thousands of them have been written already!

This, however, means we need a new Staff Helper team: Unowns! If you'd like to help approve Pokédex entry submissions and fix their grammar/syntax errors, please go apply in #become-a-staff-helper!

👒 Character customization demo! 👕

You can now try out the newly announced character customization feature for yourself in this new demo!
Download link

This demo is basically the full game, but it adds new NPCs that allow players to change their hats/clothes/hairstyles in Pallet Town and on the top floor of Pokémo Centers. You'll be able to check out the existing outfits made by the community so far and add in your own! keep in mind that custom outfits are a WIP feature so it might still be unstable and incomplete in some parts. Although it should be compatible with it, it is highly recommended to not use your main savefile for this.

This is a demo for a new feature, not a new game update

We really want to flesh out this new feature with as many as outfits as possible, so if you're a <@&392803830900850688> and you want to contribute by making your own custom outfits for the game, please head over to the Character Customization PIF Project thread!

You can use it to share your fusion concepts that you would like others to sprite, to brainstorm ideas, or to find inspiration for new fusion sprites

I hope you have fun with it!!

[coral hemlock]

Hey folks, it's time for an announcement for our spriters.
We're announcing something nobody likes, but has to happen: Rule updates.
It's going to affect a good chunk of reference/joke sprites, as well as a select bunch of mains.
Some of you have already noticed the rule that snuck it's way into spriting guidelines.
"Note: Joke and reference sprites still need to follow the basic spriting guidelines and be free from sprite errors, though they can be stylistically different."
Until now we haven't acted upon this rule, but we are from this moment forward.

The short of it is that we're going to slowly take out any joke alts that aren't meeting spriting guidelines. This is due to filebloat, the game is getting big. The other big thing is that we're limiting variation sprites to a maximum of one per sprite, and the change needs to be big enough to warrant a variant. One specific one that will also be taken out under this rule is any shiny alt. There's a lot of details surrounding this, full description what is and what is not good to stay will be in #spriting-guidelines message.

We have made something in preparation of all this. In PIF-projects, there will be two new threads: Team Shiny and Team Jokes. If you want to help archiving sprites that will be taken out of the default sprite pack, you can help create an optional sprite pack. We encourage you keep these type of sprites alive, but due to file bloat and the ever-increasing size of IF, we won't be integrating them in the default sprite pack from this moment forward.

This news might be sudden and possibly an unpleasant surprise for some of you.
We also understand this is going to affect some of you more than others.
If there are any questions or concerns, please, feel free to DM me.
We value all you spriters immensely and this is not an easy decision.
In spite of all this, I wish you all happy spriting and keep doing what you folks do best.

@everyone, apologies for the late announcement, but we have something important to share with you all!

We are closing in on the 500k member mark, and to celebrate we will be doing our first annual Fusion Day Celebration!
But that doesn't tell you anything now does it: just what is Fusion Day?

Fusion Day is a multi-week celebration of the server that starts today on 8.8 comprising of multiple cool events to celebrate everyone in our community, from the players to the artists!

-# And an 8 looks a good bit like ♾️, so today is really ♾️. ♾️

In addition to all the events and contests during this time, we're opening up voting for a NEW POKEMON! Voting opens up today, and ends roughly on the 29th (500 hours for 500k members )

We have something for everyone, and I promise it'll be worthwhile, especially if you win one "hint hint" 😉
-# Including but not limited to: Movies, Showdown tourneys, Spriting misc events, Secrets, and other wacky shenanigans!
-# ||In case the hint hint is not understood: Winning an event will give you access to a special vote.||

If you have any questions regarding the events, please DM me, or @sleek hare !!

Discuss with others who you want for PIF in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1137892936915361942 (THERE WILL NOT BE ANY GEN 8+ POKEMON)

[sleek hare]

-# || Sorry about the phantom ping folks, I got automodded and it deleted the message first time 'round||

I would like to clarify somethings about the vote as well: this time around, there's no starters, legends, mythicals or Ultra Beasts. All of those mons are pretty special and can be done in waaayyyy more unique ways than just a vote.

One more thing I would like to clear up that Pory didn't is details about that "special vote"

That "special vote" is a second vote.....for a SECOND NEW POKEMON!!! Trust me when I say, you want to be there and fight for your chance to get your favorite in!

Half a million members!!!

On Fusion day on August 8, we opened a vote for a new Pokémon that would be open until we reached 500,000 members on the discord. About 500 hours later (yes actually ), we finally reached that goal!!

It is absolutely insane how large this community has gotten in the last year or so. We're by far the largest discord for any Pokémon fangame at this point which is crazy to think about in itself. It's genuinely such a beautiful thing to see everyone come together to make sprites and other content for the game like this. The game would be nothing without the community and I cannot thank you guys enough! Shoutout to every single one of our 3543 spriters and to all of our wonderful staff team! ❤️

We also have this beautiful new banner for the occasion made by some of our talented members:
@sleek hare @proper rock @coarse bay @magic karma

I never would've imagined just how much support Pokémon Infinite Fusion would gather and how much of an important part of my life it would become when I started working on this for fun between college classes, years ago. We really have something that's truly special here so thank you so much for everything!! I feel incredibly lucky and I hope that this community will continue to thrive like it has for a long time still!

So.... 👀 On with the vote reveal:

The winners of the public vote are:

Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o and Kommo-o !!!

https://tenor.com/view/kommo-o-pokemon-jangmo-o-hakamo-o-dragon-gif-6106603155641907404

For spriters, their Pokédex numbers are 471, 472 and 473, respectively, I hope you have fun with them!!
Stay tuned for the events winner vote for a second new Pokémon line that will be added to the game! ||and other surprises we have in store 👀|| 😄

Ay <@&734833821429661816> , after reading some of your suggestions and seeing how much you enjoyed me up in the stage , I bring you:

⭐ OFFICIAL Live PIF Playthrough! ⭐

It'll be an official test of some long-awaited features being added in 6.3! Now, to make things interesting, I have devised a few challenges for my run:

🟢 I can't use Ferrothorn (or any steel types, for that matter) to make the run more interesting

🔴 I can only use Pokemon with objects, such as Farfetch'd in this run (we love birds with sticks)

🔵 I must use a frog pokemon of some sort (overlord-mandated requirement, I'm afraid)

Join me <t:1725566400:R> (that's <t:1725566400:F>) on the stage https://discord.gg/infinitefusion?event=1280997681401171978 for this legendary playthrough, let's see some new pizzazz!

So stay tuned for several new announcements in the following weeks

[sturdy sable]

Hello fellow comrades!

I'm happy to announce the opening of the #русский channel! As we hit 500k recently, I hope at least some of you can speak it, right?
To all of you Russian speakers out there, добро пожаловать!

[sand egret]

Join us aboard the Submarine Explorer 1 today at around 4PM EST to explore the ocean depths of the Kanto region. Who knows what kind of new creatures we'll discover down there! 🌊 🤿

[coral hemlock]

For those that can't count, that's <t:1726430400:R>

[fading blade]

Ship's logs: Captain Stern has graciously lent us the Submarine Explorer 1 to explore the ocean depths of the Kanto region, off the shore of Cinnabar Island. We are hopeful to see what new species of Pokémon we can find down there!

Depth: 0 meters. All system are operational. Commencing our descent!

Depth: 50 meters.
Descending at a steady rate. Pressure inside the cabin is normal, hull integrity is holding steady.

Depth: 250 meters.
Approaching the seafloor, visibility is reduced. Activating the sonar... We're detecting signs of marine life! Let the exploration begin!

Depth: 500 meters
What was that noise? Did we bump into a rock? Oh, it looks like something is crawling on the submarine. This could be our first discovery of the day! React with 💡 to turn on the exterior flood lights!

Diverting power from the sonar system to activate the submarine's floodlights!
The light seems to have scared off the unknown creature, it's no longer on the window- Wait... What is that in the distance?
React with 👀 to take a closer look.

Is that a Sharpedo? Oh no. Your reactions made it take a closer look! Abort! React with ↩️ to run away, quick!!

The Sharpedo was too fast! It viciously attacks the submarine! Mayday, mayday! We need to call for help!
React with ⚠️ to send a distress signal!

Huh? Did something attack the Sharpedo? We might be safe after all! But who is this mysterious savior? But first, we must react with 🔴 to start the submarine's emergency routine.

[fading blade]

All resources rerouted to the emergency safety measures. The cracks in the window are reinforced, making it sturdy and safe once again.

It's hard to make out what is going on on the outside of submarine. Is this the same Pokémon that was crawling on your windows before? Whatever they are, these are not Pokémon that have ever been seen in Kanto before, we must document them and add them to the Pokédex! ... But you research equipment is down! React with 🔧 to reset the system!

You successfully restart your submarine's systems and quickly turn on all your recording equipment. The two Pokémon run away, spooked by the light, but your sonar equipment scans them just in time to confirm the identity of these elusive species, and that they are indeed endemic to Kanto. The expedition was a success!

Thank you all for coming on this expedition with us! Captain Kiwi out 🫡

That's right, Wimpod and Golisopod are now part of the PIF Pokédex!

https://tenor.com/view/golisopod-sword-gif-19275449

Their Pokédex numbers are 474 and 475!

And also, a small PSA: If you see any sprites of the newly revealed Pokemon used in fusions of other Pokemon or have any of your own, for example a previously made Fennekin sprite that was submitted as a Vulpix alt and etc, please make a report in #1052360360172199977 with the misnumbered tag so @weak lantern can switch the files quickly and directly. This also applies to any pokemon that have been revealed so far! We want to prevent any dupes, so our team greatly appreciates it.

Heads up, the game's custom sprites repo has been shut down by gitlab, so the game will not be able to download custom sprites automatically for the time being.
At the moment, we have no information as to why it has been shut down, but we're trying to figure out a solution to get it back up.

You can probably expect some delays for new Pokemon reveals, game updates etc. while we sort this out, unfortunately.

You can still get the preloaded version of the game from here in the meantime and manually install it and you should be able to play the game normally with it:
#tech-support message

[weak lantern]

UPDATE <@&1093003158969655356>

Please be patient until we figure out a solution. Since it is the weekend, it might take a couple of days for this to be addressed. We will keep you guys updated as we know more.

While the sprite repo is down, we worked hard and updated the preloaded version. You can download the full preloaded game without additional setup. All the info is in #downloads message with Guides on how to set it up if you need help.

[tough spire]

Alright, I think I'm getting reception out here, though it's still spotty, can you guys see this <@&734833821429661816>?

I managed to snag a picture, though it's still a bit blurry Can I get some help getting some zoom with some 🔎?

[tough spire]

False alarm everyone, it's just my trick-or-treating bag... but it's moving. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? PIF detectives, help me solve this case with 🕵️!

Thank you detectives, thanks to your hard work I've been able determi- Oh, it's the cotton candy I jammed in there! What a treat, I'll be eating good tonight!

<@&1093003389933203556> pack is here! its tiny pack this month since the july pack had most of the august pack in it already

HOW TO ADD THE NEW SPRITES:

## Dynamic/Default/Mobile version:

• 🟢 You don't need to do anything! The game will download them as you play! that version is currently not available, use the preloaded version!

Preloaded version:

• 🔵 The preloaded game download has been updated with the new monthly sprites! Simply redownload and extract to have the game and sprites already set up for you.
• 🟡 Manual method: You can download the August Pack that's attached to this message, or download the Full Pack that contains all sprites ever. Follow the instructions in THIS GUIDE for reference!

Please report any misnamed sprites and other errors to #1052360360172199977! Note: ONLY report sprite errors after you've clicked "Install Custom Sprites" on the installer to refresh your sprites. The zips contain some discrepancies with the live version the game downloads.

[sand egret]

<@&1093003158969655356> Concerning the issue with the gitlab sprites repo, I won't go too deep into the details but basically the repository got shut down because we were using in a way that broke Gitlab's Acceptable Use policy. We had been using it in this way for years so it is unclear why they decided to shut it down now specifically, but it is what it is.

I'm working on a new, permanent solution (which should also improve the speed at which the game can download the sprites so that's a plus),~~ but for now we have a temporary solution which should fix the issue for all of the custom sprites (autogens are still borked)

You will need to update your game to version 6.2.4 to fix the issue causing sprites not to be downloaded
~~

Update: temp solution is down

[sand egret]

After three weeks exploring the Kanto depths aboard Captain Stern's Submarine Explorer 1, we will be surfacing near Vermillion City's harbour to finally share our discoveries with Professor Oak.

<@&1284535095696294025> There were some issues with the custom sprites database earlier today where it would download some invalid sprites. The issue is fixed now, but if the invalid sprites were already downloaded on your pc, you might have to delete them manually.

If you get an error message like this, this means that you need to go delete sprite 109.459.png (or whatever the sprite in the message is)

About the AI-generated dex entries...

So the inclusion of Ai-generated Pokédex descriptions in the 6.4 changelog has sparked a lot controversy on discord. I understand why some of you are concerned about that feature so I want to share some context and explain what this feature is exactly.

From very early in the game's development, fusions have had Pokédex entries that were generated by taking the first sentence one Pokémon's entryand combining it with the second sentence of the other's entry. This sometimes made funny combinations, but it also led to broken grammar and a lack of variety. This new system is just a more sophisticated version of this.

• It takes the official entries of both Pokémon and feeds them to an LLM to mash them together in a similar fashion, but in a way that flow better.
• The only information that the LLM receives to generate these are the official Pokédex entries of both Pokémon. No custom entries were used in this process.
• AI-generated entries are identified in dark blue in-game while custom-made entries are green in order to differentiate them.
• The entries have all been pre-generated and are simply loaded in the game from a text file; The environmental impact of generating every single one of them was about as much as a few gaming sessions on a high-end PC

---

The generated entries have always been meant as placeholders for fusions that don't have a custom Pokédex entry yet and this is still the case, in the same way that the algorithmically-generated Japeal sprites are meant to be placeholders for the community-made custom sprites. These entries aren't creative in any way and the difference should be pretty obvious when you look at the examples below. The intent is really just to make the descriptions less same-y and more interesting to read for players.

Any entry that was made by a real person will ALWAYS have priority over the generated ones. Obviously, I would much prefer if every fusion had a custom entry, but it's just not realistic on the short term.
As of now about 10,000/250,000 have custom made entries in the game. We do need more people to help create cool entries to replace these autogen ones so if you're interested, please consider submitting your own entries #dex-entries-submissions message or even applying to the Unown staff helper role to approve submitted entries! #become-a-staff-helper message

Our stance on AI remains the same as it has always been. We want to encourage creativity and we will never use AI for sprites or concept art, and human-made content will always be prioritized. We value our community greatly, your contributions are what makes Infinite Fusion what it is.

[sand egret]

About the AI-generated entries - Part 2

I have taken the decision to remove auto-generated Pokédex entries from the game. They will no longer be in the game as of version 6.4.2, which can be downloaded right away.

This represents several dozens of hours of work down the drain for a feature that was only meant to make the experience a bit more immersive for players. Unfortunately, a vocal minority of members of the community, many of whom have never played the game, are tearing the community apart over this feature.

Infinite Fusion has always been about the community first and as much as it pains me to penalize the players for this and to compromise my vision for the game, the community is more important.

To the spriters who have requested their sprites to be removed from the game over this, it's actually a lot of work to remove large amounts of sprites from the game so we are working on an automated solution to get it done as soon as possible.

Sorry to everyone who actually liked the feature. May you have a less stressful holiday season than mine 😅 🎄

[ruby swift]

Hello everyone. Between recent events and timing of the holidays, staff have decided to temporarily close the server down, starting <t:1735084800:F> and ending <t:1735318800:F>

This will mean all public chat channels will be locked during this period. This includes our tech support channels, so our tech helpers can also enjoy some time off.

I want to be absolutely clear that this is a decision staff do not choose lightly, and is NOT to silence anyone, or avoid any issues at hand. Things will be addressed upon our return.

Our moderators and staff members need to step away, and per community discord guidelines, cannot leave the server unmoderated. More importantly, we wish to enjoy the holidays with our families without stressing about the server's wellbeing.

We hope you all to do the same. Happy holidays, and see you all when we return.

[tough spire]

Welcome back everyone! We hope you had good holidays!

In regards to AI Usage

First off, we would like to apologize for the use of AI and would like to restate that it will NOT be in the game. We also would like to apologize for the tone of our past announcements. It's been stressful for everyone, and especially with this being sandwiched along with the holidays, it was a pretty messy situation, and we appreciate your patience!

We understand why some of you felt betrayed by the previous update, and while it was never our intent to cause you harm, that doesn’t mean your concerns weren’t valid. We know that emotions were high during this period; some community members were disappointed by the potential loss of the art they loved and took it out on artists. Some artists felt like they were being used or taken advantage of in a way that hit close to home given the current use of generative AI to replace artists in countless industries. And there were also a few individuals who operated in bad faith in order to fan the flames.

Because all of this occurred during the holiday season, we were understaffed and unprepared to deal with the situation properly, and we sincerely apologize for that. We, the staff team, just wanted you guys to know we love this community, and in light of recent communications, we want to do better by you. That's why we're happy to announce we're working on an update to the spriter agreement that should address your concerns. Nothing's set in stone yet, but keep a lookout in #announcements !

Anyways, that's about it. Hope this clears the waters a bit, and we hope there isn't any bad blood anywhere. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the holidays! We're working to get things squared away, so if you have any concerns you need addressed, you can contact us via DMs, and see you <t:1735318800:R>!

In regards of sprite removal

To address some of your concerns, we are working on a tool to assist in automating the processing of removals, ETA ~ 3 months. We will release more details as thing are set in stone, in the meantime, feel free to DM us if you have any concerns, and we'll answer to the best of our ability!

Hey! We've had a few people posting the link to illegal content recently (specifically pirated copies of the Minecraft Movie). We know it sounds silly/like a joke, but this kinda stuff can get a server shut down if no action is taken against it-- we're just warning people that if you're caught posting it, you will be banned, no further warning.
Thanks taking the time to read-- we appreciate it!

[coral hemlock]

People of Pokémon Infinite Fusion,

@everyone

10 Year Anniversary Special Announcement! 🎉

10 years ago today, I posted a first version of Pokemon Infinite Fusion on Pokecommunity instead of studying for my finals. At the time, I had no idea that it would become the massive community project it is today, with thousands of artists from all around the world submitting new sprites every day. I really just wanted to play a Pokémon game that allowed you to play with the silly fusions from that Pokémon fusion generator website and since I couldn't find one, I decided to try and make my own. And this is probably my best advice to any aspiring game dev, simply try to make something that you, yourself, want to play and motivation will come a lot more easily.

But of course, the game wouldn't be anywhere near where it is now without the amazing community that developed around it. This is all still very surreal to me and I want to take a moment to thank all of you. Every player, every sprite artist, every modder, every discord member, everyone who watched their favourite streamer play the game, and every single person who volunteered their time and effort to build this community at any point. You guys are the ones who give me the drive to keep on working on the game!

This game has already been in the works for a decade, but I have no intention to stop improving it anytime soon. Speaking of which, I do have a new exciting announcement about something we've been cooking up: 👀

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irX5tD5A-qI

A sequel to Pokémon Infinite Fusion is currently in development! This new game will take you to the Hoenn region for an entirely new journey! You will also be able to transfer any Pokémon between the two games. You can find more information in this FAQ.

This also means that all missing Pokémon from the Hoenn Pokédex will be added to both Pokémon Infinite Fusion and Pokémon Infinite Fusion: Hoenn! The full list of new Pokémon added and their Pokédex numbers can be found in the FAQ

[sand egret]

<@&392803830900850688>
As a follow-up to the last announcement, I want to confirm that all Hoenn Pokémon will be added to the games and are now eligible for fusion sprites to submit to #sprite-gallery!
The list of the new Pokémon can be found here: #1364351197258977330 message
We have also prepared a zip that contains the base sprites for each of these Pokémon.

-# If you find a misnumbered Hoenn Pokemon that's been submitted to the gallery, please report it in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1364492749738610709

[sand egret]

We want your input for Pokémon Infinite Fusion: Hoenn!

Since the game is still in early development, we have the unique opportunity to take input from the community to help shape the development of the game and make it as good as possible. I know you guys are creative af and have tons of awesome ideas for the new game and we want to hear about all of them! So please take a moment to answer this form if you want to share you ideas:
Form: Wishes and Ideas for PIF Hoenn

Feel free to discuss your ideas with others in #pif-hoenn-discussion too

[fading blade]

<@&1093003389933203556>
Despite some setbacks, our preparations for the takeover of Hoenn is ramping up wonderfully. The spriters of this server have covered a lot of ground and catalogued thousands of new species for us. excellent work, grunts!

Furthermore, with the release of this pack we've significantly expanded our base sprite resources by annexing the entirety of these territories:

• The Smogon Sprite Project
• The The DS-style 64x64 Pokémon Sprite Resource
• KingOfThe-X-Roads Sprites
• All Generation 4 Game Freak sprites, including animation frames.

Spriters would be wise to download the monthly March pack attached to this message to get an easy access to these specimens.

-# tldr, we added over 2000 new base sprites from all the free to use resources we could find!

HOW TO ADD THE NEW SPRITES:

Dynamic/Default/Mobile version:

• 🟢 You don't need to do anything! The game will download them as you play!

Manual method:

• 🔴 ONLY DO THIS IF YOU TURNED OFF AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS IN THE GAME OPTIONS
• 🟡 You can download the Full Pack that contains all sprites ever (as well as all fixes and updates that have been made), or the Monthly Pack, if you already downloaded the full pack previously). To add the sprites to your game, follow THIS GUIDE.

Note: ONLY report sprite errors after you've clicked "Install Custom Sprites" on the installer to refresh your sprites. The zips contain some discrepancies with the live version the game downloads.

Small note:

If you're having sprite problems with the new update, you can fix them by finding the Update man in Pokemon centers and selecting Advanced Options > Other options > Reset Options > Clear sprites cache.

If the sprites work fine for you, then you can disregard this. I'm currently working on a general fix, so thanks for your patience

We're adding new Pokémon to the game!

There's an ongoing competition to select the new Pokémon that will be added to Infinite Fusion, with three teams competing against each other to make the most amount of sprites participate in various events to collect the most amount of points!

As the rivalry between Team Ruby, Team Sapphire and Team Emerald intensifies, we have decided to give each of the teams their own private corner to strategize and plot against the other teams to ensure their own victory.
#team-ruby
#team-sapphire
#team-emerald

In case you haven't joined a team yet, make sure to do so in #pick-your-team. The events range from spriting competitions, showdown tournaments, concept Pokedex entry writing, and more! You can also obtain points just by spriting fusions and submitting them to the gallery!

- Whichever team manages to obtain the most points by the end of the Fusion Day events gets to vote in a new Pokémon line to the game

- The one person who collected the most points overall will also get to directly add a second Pokémon line!

There are multiple events that you can participate in to win points for your team. You can check out the competition's details, as well as the full Fusion Week events schedule below. May the best team win!

More information and full schedule here

While the contests results may not be out yet....

I have exciting news for you.

The points available from spriting Bonus fusions was way higher than I expected - so much so that it impossible for any team to catch up to our winning team through the points available within the contests.

We're choosing to release the results now, and let the judges take their time with the remaining judging... and instead let you know the winning team right here, right now!!

But first!

The person with the most points!!!

With 1231 total points....

@merry ember !

Please DM @sand egret 🐸 to directly choose the line to add to the game!!!

-# Also a special shoutout to @alpine stratus who did the most salvages, Paya appreciates it!

In 3rd place with 3560 points ..... ||Team Ruby !!||

In 2nd place with 3599 points..... ||Team Emerald!!||

In 1st place with 4053 points..... ||Team Sapphire!!||

We'll be conducting your vote in #team-sapphire-new-pokemon-vote - head on over to get the sheet winners!!

For those in Teams Ruby and Emerald, your efforts weren't wasted! We do have something planned for you too, so stay tuned!

[sand egret]

<@&1093003158969655356> <@&392803830900850688>

As you may know, for obtaining the most overall points in the Fusion Day events, @merry ember got to pick a new Pokémon line to add to the game.

It's official, Woobat and Swoobat will be joining the Pokémon Infinite Fusion Pokédex!

Their Pokedex numbers will be 566 and 567, respectively.

There's also currently a vote for <@&1403229344754696213> to select a second new Pokémon line to add to the game, so stay tuned for more announcements soon!

-# If you see any sprites of the newly revealed Pokemon used in fusions of other Pokemon or have any of your own, for example a previously made Fennekin sprite that was submitted as a Vulpix alt and etc, please make a report in sprite-errors with the misnumbered tag so that sprite managers can switch the files quickly and directly. This also applies to any pokemon that have been revealed so far! We want to prevent any dupes, so our team greatly appreciates it.

[sand egret]

<@&1403229344754696213> is too powerful...

We had to use DNA Splicers on Team Ruby and Team Emerald to stand a chance... Team Ruby and Team Emerald, will now be known as...

TEAM EMERUBY!!

And you get to beat Team Sapphire at their own game by voting in another new Pokémon line! from their own Pokémon selection

Go cast your vote in #team-emeruby-new-pokemon-vote

<@&1403228280936730674> <@&1403229694022651904> <@&734833821429661816>

<@&1093003158969655356>

The new Pokémon vote is finally over and I've finished compiling the results. The votes were actually very similar and both team ended up having the same top 2. And so I'm happy to announce the two new Pokémon lines that will be joining the game:

In first place...

Tynamo, Eelektrik and Eelektross will be joining Pokémon Infinite Fusion!

Tynamo, Eelektrik and Eelektross's Pokédex numbers will be 568, 569 and 570 respectively
Skrelp and Dragalge will be numbers 571 and 572

-# If you see any sprites of the newly revealed Pokemon used in fusions of other Pokemon or have any of your own, for example a previously made Fennekin sprite that was submitted as a Vulpix alt and etc, please make a report in sprite-errors with the misnumbered tag so that sprite managers can switch the files quickly and directly.

You will be asked to choose up to two specialties in the application including:

• Spriter Applications
• Sprite Harvesting
• Spritework Checkers
• Guideline Experts

Staff helpers

With the rapid growth of our community, our staff members can't do it all alone! There are certain areas within the server that we would love to have more helpers in!

• Watchog: Managed by the Moderation team, you will help protect our community!
• Klefki: Managed by the Sprite Management team, you will review Sprite applications to give the Spriter role!

It's not a secret that music has always been a point of criticism for Infinite Fusion 1. It doesn't loop properly, the quality and volume are inconsistent, etc.. And so we made it one of our majoy goals to improve on it as much as we can for the sequel, and we most definitely succeeded!

Every single music track in the Infinite Fusion: Hoenn will be a custom remix of the classic Hoenn tracks you know in the style of the DS games.

Over a hundred tracks, all expertly remixed! These remixes were made by @tough spire who has very carefully studied the every location in the game and recreated the tracks to match their feel and energy as closely as possible. Now, the original GBA games were very limited by the hardware in terms of what instruments they could use for the music tracks and it did compromise the vision of the devs at the time quite a bit. Fortunately, Infinite Fusion is a PC game, so we're not stuck behind these same technical limitations and so for PIF:Hoenn, we're actually able to present them in a way that we believe is how Game Freak originally intended them to be.

Put on some good headphones, turn up the volume and enjoy!

<@&1374133084626354306> Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the official soundtrack Frog shared earlier! Now it's time to show you some more game footage. We figured it's been a while, and we've made some changes since the last time you've seen Last ping today, I promise!

[weak lantern]

You know as cool as the Orre region is, we decided that... it just didn't have enough water for our liking! Besides, I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Also terrible news guys, when we were about to add the elemental monkeys, it seems they were scared off from all the trumpets. Weird.

Happy April Fools~
-# || We will actually be adding the trumpet version of the soundtrack to the game! But how do you unlock it? Guess you'll have to find out when the time comes ||

Sup! Here's the playtest build for the new version . It includes the league, postgame and a few new Pokémon.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/y0nn67a8dpoj3zr/infinitefusion_4.1.2.rar/file

It's probably super buggy so make sure to save often, especially if you're playing randomized. This should still be compatible with your previous savefile except if you were playing with randomized trainers (I'm working on a fix for this), but it's safer to start a new game if you want to reduce your likelihood of encountering glitches. To install, delete your previous folder and replace it by this one.
Report glitches to #355373573860360205

Here is a patch that fixes a few of thebugs. To apply, UNZIP these files into the Data folder (overwriting the old ones)

Hi everyone! So some people have been asking for Wiki for the game for a while so I finally decided to create one! It's pretty incomplete right now, so you guys are free to help out and add some content. Check it out at https://infinitefusion.fandom.com !

[sand egret]

As a few people have already noticed, version 4.4 has been available for a little bit, but I forgot to make an announcement about it here. So here it is! Contains nothing too major, mostly a few adjustments and bugfixes. It's only available as a patch, so you still have to download the base game first.

[sand egret]

[4.5.8] New update patch! The return of reversed mode!
Some of you might remember back in version 3.0, there used to be two available downloads: red version and blue version. Both versions were the same except that the trainers in Blue version had flipped fusions. While it was a cool idea, I didn't continue with it because making two separate downloads each time was a bit of a chore. Reversed mode brings this feature back, but without the hassle of having two separate downloads. It can be enabled at the start of the game or at any time during your playthrough by speaking to the update man on the top floor of Pokémon Centers.

New update time !!
So Pokémon Infinite Fusion was becoming a bit stale. It wasn't getting as many download as it used to and ,let's face it, Pokémon games aren't as popular as they used to be. I figured that in order to expand the game's target audience, what it needed was a complete rebranding!
I'm proud to introduce to you Dragon Ball Z: Infinite Fusion!
I went ahead and replaced every single Pokémon by Dragon Ball character, along with several other improvements!

[sand egret]

So I wasn't really considering adding Pokémon to complete the incomplete lines because IMO adding something like Wailmer isn't as interesting as adding something like Deoxys, especially since most of them are postgame anyway, but according to the survey it's what a huge number of you guys want. So anyway here's a poll about the two options I'm considering now.

note: 1st option should actually be 19 pre-evolutions + 1 new Pokémon... I can't count apparently lol

Hi all, it is with great sadness that I announce that I am resigning from my duties as a member of staff from Pokémon Infinite Fusion.
I am happy to have created, and served this community for you all, and watched it blossom over the years since it was created back in April of 2017.
There are so many amazing and talented members of this community that I am happy to have met, and interacted with over these wonderful last few years.
Many of you may not know me as anything more than 'the mod that's always online' but I assure I probably did something productive at some point... 😂
Shoutout to @sand egret for creating the game
Shoutout to @night glade for being a good friend and partner in crime
Shoutout to @grizzled yacht for being a very knowledgeable player, and overall fantastic member of the community
And Shoutout to SimpleFlips.
Thank you all. Trans rights are human rights. Long live George the Azuswine.

New update! [4.8.4] New trainer sprites & icons, new randomizer option, bug fixes, polishing.
Unfortunately, this one has to be as a full download only since it includes several missing battlers, as well as other graphics and audio files.
The newest spritepack released yesterday is also included in this.

New update [4.8.5] Easy mode! Not a whole lot of new content this time around, but I did remove a potential cause to the frequent end of battle crashes, so if you've been experiencing lots of crashes please tell me if this update makes it better. Compatible with 4.8.4 full version.

[4.8.6 - debug build] Yo! I hope you guys are having a great holiday season!

This will be a bit different from the usual updates. This is a different version of the previous update that's been somewhat stripped down with the goal of making the game more stable. I would need some of you guys to test it out and report if you're still getting random crashes or not.

Basically I reverted the scripts file to an earlier version and manually added the some of the smaller changes to keep it compatible with the newly added Pokemon. None of the moves and abilities that were added with the latest batch of Pokémon will work in this, but everything else should be about the same. If this turns out to be more stable than the latest release, then I will continue from this version and gradually add the removed stuff back in future updates. If it's not, then I'll have to figure out something else 😉

(This patch also includes a WIP new feature that allows you to fuse Pokémon directly from the PC. It which might not be completely bug-free, but you're free to test it out anyway!)

<@&392803830900850688> Please DM me your favourite sprite, it will be considered for addition to the next Infinite Fusion banner to be used on the server (when possible) and also on the wiki. 🙂

[stoic verge]

Thanks everyone for submitting your sprites! This is the final version of the banner (which was made by the amazing Tomate), your contributions were amazing. Some of the ones I didn't see until this morning were left out, sorry about that. 😅

[night glade]

So we had a trial period for the <@&801491138795536404> role, and personally I think it went as well as an unannounced trial could go, so we're opening it up fully.

Helpers are model users. It's our way of making them work for us showing that we notice people. Helpers should be able to answer questions you have about the game or the server.
There's no "Helper adding ceremony" or anything like that. Nor is there anything like a minimum or maximum number. We'll simply give people the role as we see fit, if we feel that that person deserves it and would be good at helping people around the server.

Criteria for receiving the Helper role (does not guarantee it, but puts you in good standing):
Being active and engaging with the community.
Assisting people when they need help in channels like #general and #spriting-discussion.
Getting along with the people around you.

Alternatively we may also recognise if something extraordinary is done by an individual, but the above three criteria are probably your best bet.

It's finally time to officially release the first version of Modern Mode! 🎊

Modern Mode is a patch you can download to change up the IF experience. It changes all wild encounters and trainer Pokémon to focus a lot more Pokémon from later generations. For the trainers we also focused on showing of some of the best sprites that have been made over the years. All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members have been assigned a new type too.
This patch does not add any new Pokémon to IF. It still uses the same regional Pokédex as the base game.
Make sure that you are using Sprite Pack 63 or higher to get the best experience.

How to get Modern Mode:
Download the file attached to this post and unpack it with WinRar or 7Zip. Replace the files in your IF folder with the files in the download.
This will not break your game in any way, so you can also do this during a playthrough.

Little Tip:
If you start a new game while already having a save file, the game will give you the option to choose between the starters from Gens 1 to 4.

The Modern Mode Team (me, @stoic verge, @gloomy spruce, @mild verge and @sinful chasm) hope you enjoy playing through Modern Mode!
For feedback, reports or questions you can use the #805167693174145075 channel.

An improved Version 2 is out and can be downloaded here: #announcements message

[4.9] Hey! I know it's been a while since the last update but I've been pretty busy trying to port the game to the newer version of Pokemon Essentials, which should hopefully improve performance a lot and reduce crashes. It's not yet ready but I have this update in the meantime which finally makes it possible to get the remaining legendaries. It also adds more autosave options so while it might not make crashes completely disappear, it should hopefully minimize their impact a bit. Anyway I hope you enjoy it 🙂

For no reason at all, definitely not related to any upcoming days or anything, drawings of Pokémon in the game would be very much appreciated.

So apparently some people have been saying that since I'm porting the game to a new version of Essentials we'll be able to add more Pokémon. I just want reiterate that this is absolutely NOT the case. The game is already at the absolute limit of Pokemon it can handle (or even already a bit over that limit quite frankly) and a new Essentials version is not going to change that. There will be no new Pokémon added in any future version of the game whatsoever.

[stoic crest]

Modern Mode v2

Version 2 is out and it is planned to be the final version. This version adds custom trainer sprites for every Gym Leader and Elite 4 member and fixes some errors like misnumbered fusions. We also changed up the encounters on many routes to make some Pokemon easier to get and all of Johto and the Sevii Islands now have new encounters.

To get the best experience in Version 2, make sure that you are using Sprite Pack 64 or higher.

If you don't know what Modern Mode is, please check out this post: #announcements message

[4.9.0.4] Small bugfix patch. Fixes the Stunfisk crash, fusing from PC and other small bugs I have not kept track of. This will probably be the last update for version 4.9 as it's starting to be a bit outdated compared to the dev build. The next update will probably in the new engine so you can expect some relatively big changes, but it will also be very barebone at first. More to come about this soon.

Weird announcement here, since it's just about the #spriting-discussion channel. If you don't use or frequent that channel, you don't need to read this. You can, but you don't need to.
Discord recently added threads, and we're going to be trialling them in the #spriting-discussion channel to try and clog it up less. Basically, sprites will be posted there and then a thread will be created. This thread will be closed when discussion on the sprite is finished, and no other conversation will take place in that channel. Going to trial this for around a week, probably less time as it shouldn't take that long to tell if it's working. Any messages breaking this format will be deleted during the trial so we can accurately see if it's working or not. This begins now.

[stoic verge]

To all spriters, and those who want to be,

If you're looking for helpful tips and tricks on spriting, but no longer want to trawl through the pins in #spriting-discussion, we've come up with a solution. Introducing #spriting-guidelines, this channel is full of helpful tips and tricks for new and experienced spriters, providing advice on how to make your sprites look great and match the Pokémon style. We hope this can be a great resource for everyone. 🙂

Many thanks to @stoic crest, @gloomy spruce, @blazing cairn, @mild verge and @fading blade for helping make this guide. And special thanks to @deft gulch for posting great tutorials in #spriting-discussion that we used as a jumping off point for this new guide. 😄

[sand egret]

<@&392803830900850688> We're nearing the end of the trial for the #spriting-discussion channel so we'd really appreciate if you took a little bit of your time to fill out this survey and give your opinion about the new system (it's pretty short) https://forms.gle/oL4MeWrE91NFa4gk6

[stoic crest]

🦀 Thread update 🦀

It has taken us a while to wager the results of the polls, the individual opinions of users and our own experiences, but we can now announce how the #spriting-discussion channel will work from now on.

For longer discussions of any kind, #spriting-discussion will stay a thread channel, as the majority of users prefered this system over the old one. This means that if you see a sprite you have feedback for, you either create a thread or enter an existing one and deliver it there. If you only have short feedback though, a regular message or an emote reaction in the main channel is totally fine, as long as the feedback is kept short enough to not burry everything else.

However, there are some other things we ask of spriters from now on. Firstly, if you feel like you are not getting a lot of feedback in your thread, we encourage you to make people aware of that fact. That is best done by posting a message in spritework, telling people to check out #NameOfTheThread.

Additionally, to make sure that every sprite gets enough feedback from enough different people, we ask people working in a thread to post a "Is this done? #NameOfThread" message in spritework. The purpose of this is to make people that are not in the thread aware of the fact that you have no more feedback to work with and are about to post to the gallery. This way, we should have more quality control and more people checking out each thread.

There you go, this is how #spriting-discussion works now. We hope this solution pleases as many of you as possible. If you have any issues with any of this, feel free to let us mods know

[sand egret]

Thread update 2

So far the threads system for #spriting-discussion has been a success. However, it was initially allowed to post messages outside of threads, which causes a lot of bloat. Currently, @fading blade has been deleting messages that are posted outside of threads to keep everything organized and she has been doing a great job, but this is obviously not a viable option in the long term.
So we discussed this over with the moderators and we narrowed it down to 2 options:

1- No talking allowed in spritework outside of threads at all
2-No talking in spritework outside of threads at all and make a second channel for those who want to talk outside of threads

Poll results:
https://strawpoll.com/776xkzgos/r

If you have other ideas on how to make the system, please don't hesitate to tell us and we will take them into consideration!

[5.0_Beta1]
Here is the first beta for version 5.0 which finally ports Pokémon Infinite Fusion to Essentials 19. This is NOT the full release but a work in progress, so it is still pretty rough around the edges. There are many, many features that are still missing or being worked on so if you're a first time player, I recommend you download version 4.9 instead. However, this should still be stable enough to playtest. Please report bugs for this version in the new #bug-reports-newest-version channel instead of the regular channel.

The game is still compatible with previous savefiles, but the savefile location has changed so your old savefile won't be recognized by default when you boot up the game. I included a script called "migrate_older_savefile_to_5_0.bat" in the download which will copy your old savefile to the new directory. This creates a copy so you will still be able to use your old savefile in older versions of the game.

There are quite a few changes this time around. Most of them technical changes related to MKXP (the new player that's used to run the game) and Essentials 19, but there are also several gameplay changes. Check out the full changelog down below!

Hey all. We had a poll a little while back which resulted in what used to be Spritework being split into two channels, #spriting-discussion and #is-my-sprite-ready, following the previous poll's results. We want to know now what you think of how that turned out and how the server has been in general lately. There are five questions, and although only two are mandatory, the more of them you fill out the more useful it is to us.

[night glade]

Hi all. You all probably know me or at least have an idea of who I am. I'm probably best known for running the contests here in this server for almost two years now, and I've been a moderator for around a year and a half. I created the sprite requests channel and set the bot up for it, and in general I've done everything I can to try and make this server a better and more efficient place. But I've just been here for too long.
I'll be leaving immediately after this message, off to do my own things in life. Katten will fully take over the contests, alongside whomever is selected via the application form above. I shall miss my time here, but it's time for me to move on. I implore you to submit an application for a staff role yourself, and be whatever change you may wish to see. Nobody but you knows how you would improve things.
Goodbye.

[stoic crest]

It is almost time for me to say goodbye... goodbye to my purple name tag.
Once the current application process is done and new mods have been chosen, I'll resign from being a mod. The reason for that is mostly time and motivation. And with such a big part of the staff team going, it kinda feels like passing the torch to a new generation, which sounds just like what this server needs right now.

I've worked on a ton of cool projects with many of you and we've had a great time in all the chat channels, talking about whatever the stupid topic of the day was. I really enjoyed all this time.

But fear not. I don't plan to leave this server and in fact, I might even get back into spriting, now that the heavy responsibility of having to check #fusions every day is finally off my shoulders.

So yeah, I don't really have any super emotional words since I'm not actually leaving or anything. I'm just gonna thank all you users for being epic and thank all our past and future mods for also being epic. 😎

Also, Team Clefable for the win!

[sand egret]

I'm glad to announce that all of the open positions for the staff team have been filled and that the staff applications are now closed. There were a lot of great applications and unfortunately there were only so many spots to fill so we could not select everyone who applied, but I think that the people selected will make great additions to the team

Starting today, we will be introducing a new "Sprite Manager" role to the server. Sprite managers will act as sort of mentors for spriters, answering questions and helping spriters improve their skills. They are also the ones who will take on the spriting-related duties that were previously handled by moderators such as giving out the spriter rules to new members and ensuring that the spritework process is respected before sprites are posted to the gallery.

In addition to this, several new people will also be joining the staff team as moderators and contest managers. So without further ado, here is the new staff team:
Moderators
@stoic verge
@amber shell
@gloomy spruce
@errant edge
@hazy trail
@supple tiger

Sprite managers
@stoic verge
@fading blade
@sturdy sable

Hey all, i've come here to make a small announcement, introducing: #roles, pretty much, i moved all of the reaction roles which were scattered around the server, and made them appear in only one place. I'll add more reaction roles if their ever will be needed more.

[stoic verge]

<@&392803830900850688> Hi everyone! Us Sprite Managers have been thinking of a way to enable forgotten sprites to be posted, and we think we've come up with a good system. It'll basically work something like this:

When old sprites are deleted from #spriting-discussion, the creator is sent a notification to let them know and to remind them to post the sprites themselves. If they do not post their work for at least two weeks, their sprites may be edited and posted (with full credit, of course) for them so they can be included in the game.

Currently we have a Google Drive containing all of the forgotten sprites that are yet to be posted, going way back. We'll try and work out what may need slight edits (due to not finishing the feedback loop or not meeting the gallery's quality requirements) and which ones are ready to be posted without editing. Any that are in need of edits will also be sent to #spriting-discussion as normal sprites would, so they can still get that feedback, probably in batches rather than individually.

Dyno will post any finished sprites to #sprite-gallery, crediting their original creators, who did most (if not all) of the work on these forgotten sprites. The posts look like this: #sprite-gallery message

People whose sprites are posted by Dyno will also be notified once the sprite goes up.

If you specifically tell us you do not want your sprites to be posted or edited on your behalf, we will not touch them at any point. Please DM a Sprite Manager to let us know if we don't have permission to post your old work. You can request your sprites to be taken down at any time. The notifications will include this information from now on, too, of course.

We hope this system will work for everyone, and ultimately let some great sprites finally make their way into the game. 😄

Hi everyone! #sprite-charts recently hasn't really had much of a focus on the actual sprite charts, but instead been mostly about identifying issues with existing sprites. Both of these are important, so we've decided to introduce #sprite-errors-old for reporting errors you notice about existing sprites. #sprite-charts will return to its focus on the charts specifically.

I am glad to have been part of the development of this game (unofficially) and this server (officially). Each has grown beyond what I thought possible in the beginning, and I'm excited to see what yet lies ahead.
But life is busy. I've been finding it harder and harder to divert enough time from important real-life things (my fiancé and I bought a house) and less-important personal pursuits (coming soon: SmashCon) to actually moderate this server. I'm reluctant to abdicate my duties, but I'm confident that today's generation (that's you kids) can build on the foundation I've left. I am at long last stepping down. May God bless you like He's blessed me.

Hello <@&392803830900850688>s!

A while ago we announced that sprites posted to #spriting-discussion that didn't make it to the #sprite-gallery may be edited and posted by our dear Deino so that sprites could all be included in the game. Here's the post in question: #announcements message

However, we're now streamlining that process! Any sprite that's posted in #spriting-discussion but not posted to the gallery within one week may now directly be added to the following sprite pack! They however will be put in a "No QA" folder, similarly to how joke sprites and doubles are separated. That way, individual users can decide if they want to have the potentially unfinished sprites in their game or not.

Any sprites in that folder will be considered abandoned and be available for people to edit/polish/finish and post to the gallery, so that the sprites can then be included in the main folder.

Some sprites may be included in the main folder as well, if we feel it's good to go already!

All users who's sprites are gathered will be notified of that upon their thread being archived, and will be able to retract permission at any time.

With our beloved Chippy gone, I'll be handling sprite packs for the time being. I've updated the read me's and some of the folder names for clarity and to better align them with the terms we use nowadays. The doubles folder is now the "alts" folder, for example. All sprites that were posted to #spriting-discussion but not to #sprite-gallery are in the "No QA" folder as well, as per my previous announcement. Feel free to DM or ping me if you have any comments/questions/suggestions/complaints!

There's a ton of sprites that got moved, renamed and removed this month, so I'd suggest deleting your existing custombattlers folder and redownloading the full 1-75 pack if you don't want to bother going in and doing all the changes yourself! The sprite managers also curated and added a bunch of sprites from the no QA folder to the main folders of the packs, so there's even more great sprites than usual this month.

If I messed everything up again, please report mistakes to #sprite-errors-old

Hello <@&392803830900850688> people!

In case you've missed it, we've recently introduced a new role: <@&954507163294908487>.
The purpose of this role is to let everyone know who's willing to do sprite requests, and with this role you'll appear near the top of the server and thus be people's first pick for requests, isn't that neat?

So if you're in a request-accepting mood, head on over to #roles and react to Kiwi's post to get yourself the role
