I'm still pondering but that is also my 1st choice haha

#

I was having FUN designing that zombie

crystal hill
#

I like Moltres a lot as well, and either the pinocchio or the Spiritomb 3rd for me

feral maple
#

I've done only three for the contest because I know it is hard to choose

odd garnet
#

I don't have a Spiritomb lol

crystal hill
#

oh wait

#

I meant cofagrigus

#

just got confused on names for a bit

#

I think the pinnocchio is a really neat take on the theme honestly

odd garnet
#

All the non-Roserade fusions are movie references Lol

crystal hill
#

but it's also one that is a reference yeah

wind matrix
#

obv all 3 have to be roserade heehee

torn dawn
#

Can we still submit on Monday?

#

Or is Monday the day it is over?

feral maple
odd garnet
#

I WANNA SUBMIT THIS BUT THERE'S NOT REVIVING ABOUT IT xD

rare swift
#

reviving the previous competition theme huehue

crystal hill
#

true

teal grove
#

Xeno are you just posting all your potential entries here to see which ones people like most to then submit those specific three

#

cuz im not sure if rule 7 allows that

#

specifically in this channel

odd garnet
#

No
That never crossed my mind

#

I just shared them like everyone else does

#

Besides I already have someone to help me with that
AKA my sibling

Ask chatgpt

thick jolt
#

why

#

just

#

why

ivory olive
twin locust
#

cuase funni

teal grove
ivory olive
#

but it actually works as one

teal grove
#

There’s an ai that turns pictures into anime chicks, originally meant to steal your face data but apparently it also works on other things

ivory olive
#

give it

teal grove
#

I do not know its name

ivory olive
#

I wanna make a Chris Pratt

teal grove
#

I do know it was used on that classic Jeff the Killer pic and a swastika

ivory olive
#

I am very interested in the latter

grand tusk
#

it's also spyware I think lmao

teal grove
grand tusk
#

so you did

ivory olive
#

exactly why I wanna use Chris Pratt

grand tusk
#

please excuse me, im a DBZ fan I can't read

ivory olive
#

that doesn't connect

teal grove
#

Iirc it was made by the chinese company Tencent, the same people that made PUBG, after they were contacted by the Chinese Government to create software for face recognition on street cameras

ivory olive
#

PUBG is chinese?

#

huh, neat

crystal hill
#

PUBG isn't chinese, but it's owned by a chinese company

#

Tencent owns a lot tho

teal grove
crystal hill
#

and don't starve

#

and league of legends

ivory olive
ivory olive
teal grove
ivory olive
#

oh

crystal hill
#

I know

#

I just wanted to point this out, since that's a game people actually like

#

anyways, I don't think Tencent is really known for usually levels of slave labor for a big tech company? idk really tho, I don't keep up on that much

teal grove
#

Considering it’s a megacorporation and its offices are largely within china, it’s to be expected

teal grove
#

136 ENTRIES WHAT THE FUCK @cedar quest

glossy wagon
#

contest managers gonna be buried under a pile of sprites again Despair

short dirge
#

only 136?

#

that's way less than I expected

#

we still have over a day though I guess

craggy remnant
#

watch it almost double

cedar quest
#

....Only 136???

#

Huh

#

A bit... dissatisfied

short dirge
#

how many did roserade get again

#

600?

teal grove
#

167

short dirge
#

1670, damn

craggy remnant
#

im almost done w my 2nd entry

short dirge
#

I'm debating if I should press the " add special effects " button on this entry

teal grove
#

you already do

#

i call it Riviera-outlines

plucky arch
#

roserade got 167 and just immediately numbed everyone to anything less

#

"oh only 136, damn"

ivory olive
#

I'd rather have 167 chicken nuggies than only 136 chicken nuggies

short dirge
#

people giving me hassle because I use actual outlines for fire again, smh

limber venture
#

your outline style is UNPOKEMON-Y... disqualified

grand tusk
#

I tried to warn people to not sprite Roserade because it sucks but nobody cared Despair

limber venture
#

there should have been at least ten more cofagriguses made for this contest

#

im disappointed in you all

ivory olive
#

can we just finish Roserade so we get different submissions

limber venture
#

gamr and iridiscentmirage get my utmost respect

teal grove
short dirge
#

this is not the cofagrigus meta, I'm sorry to say

teal grove
#

you use quite dark outlines and make them work, gives your sprites a nice personal style

#

i like it

#

though i dont know how to make it work myself

short dirge
#

oh, well thanks??

#

I just, uhhh

#

do things

teal grove
#

it's kinda the same style as a kingdra fusion i saw a couple weeks ago, hold on

short dirge
#

but it is true I am allergic to light outlines

teal grove
#

credit to quote.lass

limber venture
#

but light outlines are awesome

teal grove
#

die senko

short dirge
#

I'm possibly biased because

#

discord has such a dark background, and light outlines look shit on it

#

so a lot of times I post stuff and I'm like "fuck that outline is too pale"

teal grove
#

say riviera, would i be able to ask you to show me how you do the outlines? cuz ik you dont just use pure black outlines

short dirge
#

I adapt to the visuals usually

#

I guess I should further this response in there

teal grove
#

good

short dirge
#

it's ok Thorns, no need to be jealous

#

people eat anime girls here?

ivory olive
#

do you mean in the sex way or the cannibal way

short dirge
#

I have no idea

#

but one of those is very clearly nsfw so I assume not that

#

and the other one is bad for other reasons

#

though going by the internet, eating people in general, if not cannibalism, is still nsfw because of fetish connotations

#

cursed subject, let's move on

grand tusk
#

I would try eating a feebas

#

I think it would be good as like, sashimi

ivory olive
#

Feebas looks like a good fish for food

short dirge
#

how

grand tusk
#

feebas = bass

short dirge
#

and bass are good fish for food?

ivory olive
#

y e s

short dirge
#

ok, carry on then

#

however

#

I will point out

grand tusk
short dirge
#

that feebas looks nothing like a bass

grand tusk
#

wouldn't you eat it?

short dirge
#

and has absolutely 0 bass features

#

milotic looks more edible tbh

grand tusk
#

Clearly it's very (loosely) inspired by the largemouth bass

short dirge
#

no

#

it is based on fish

grand tusk
#

it has bas in the name

#

bass, like largemouth bass

short dirge
#

yes because funny fish name pun

#

it is no bass

#

nor even loosely bass

grand tusk
#

its kinda got a similar color scheme and pattern

#

they obviously took liberties

short dirge
#

no

#

bad

#

it is brown with random splotches which are a feature of 90% of fish and still not even inspired really, arguably

grand tusk
#

"oh torchic isn't based on a chicken!"

short dirge
#

torchic actually looks like a chick though...

grand tusk
#

AND FEEBAS IS A FISH

short dirge
#

YEAH

#

but not a BASS

grand tusk
#

It's literally the same stupid name scheme!

short dirge
#

fish argument

#

YEAH BUT

grand tusk
#

torchicken

feebass

short dirge
#

torchic is a chicken chick it is indisputable

#

feebas is a fish

#

not a bass fish, a regular generic ass fish

grand tusk
#

A LARGEMOUTH BASS

short dirge
#

magikarp at least has carp features

#

even if there's some creative liberty

#

which I acknowledge is a case for feebas but

teal grove
#

magikarp

grand tusk
#

it clearly has largemouth bass features

short dirge
#

like what

grand tusk
#

like you know, the large fuckin mouth

#

and the body color

short dirge
#

what

#

feebas has a tiny fuckin mouth

grand tusk
#

it got them big ol lips

plucky arch
#

Feebas is a bass

short dirge
#

pain

#

I did actually find one pic that shows feebas with a big mouth

#

which is the manga

#

if feebas had a mouth like this consistently I'd be on board

#

but this is the only place it does

grand tusk
#

Look they're clearly taking the general color and body pattern and using it

#

they changed it up because obviously thats what pokemon designs do

#

but its fucking called fee-BAS

#

like BASS

short dirge
#

you aren't considering it has that name purely because it was the available fish pun

#

not because it is a bass

plucky arch
#

id like to bring this bass photo to the table

short dirge
#

what other fish could feeble mix with

grand tusk
#

oh you're right, magikarp isn't a carp, it was just the only available fish name

short dirge
#

Tee has a better case but I also doubt the designers looked into specific rarer species of bass for it

#

....but magikarp has carp features

#

also koi

plucky arch
#

largemouth bass also arent the only type of bass

short dirge
#

yeah, there's a lot of different types of bass

plucky arch
#

plus with fish, they can kinda just, mesh a lot together and call it good

short dirge
#

but not well-known in the cultural domain

grand tusk
#

name one other fish pokemon that's name isn't shared with the inspiration

short dirge
#

that wouldn't prove anything but I can try

grand tusk
#

it's more proof then anything you've said

#

which amounts to "eh, i don't feel like feeBASS shares enough features"

short dirge
#

I mean the argument here is just on the fact it is called feebas and has a generic dull colouration

#

which isn't a huge argument but it is one

grand tusk
#

it clearly has the spotty pattern that bass have

plucky arch
#

i would also like to bring up Basculin

#

not much to say just Basculin being a Bass

short dirge
#

bass have a transverse band of spots, except for the species Tee brought up

#

I haven't bothered to think about basculin

#

wonder it's supposed to be bass + sculpin

#

sculpin is a pretty common fish in Japan and known well

grand tusk
#

we have bulbipedia for basculin

#

fuckers used largemouth bass for it as well as feebas

#

lazy wikipedia

short dirge
#

it sounds like basculin is the eevee of fish

#

mix and match

grand tusk
#

basculin was just kinda thrown in at the end

short dirge
#

basculin does actually have the green colour, giant mouth, and horizontal line of spots though

plucky arch
#

so what im hearing is Basculin is a mix of a Salmon, Bass, and Piranha

short dirge
#

even though it's clearly a little piranha-influenced

teal grove
#

bassed

plucky arch
#

aka Pokemon rly just likes mixing a bunch of fish together and calling it good

short dirge
#

it has the classic piranha fin morphology

#

two sharp back-pointing fins

#

all the Characids have that too but piranha is the one people know

grand tusk
#

"Origin
Feebas seems to be based on a bass, possibly the largemouth bass. It also resembles the marine hatchetfish. Its drastic transformation when evolving into Milotic may be inspired by the classic fairy tale The Ugly Duckling, where a small and feeble duckling is treated as an outcast by other animals until it eventually grows up to be a beautiful swan.

Name origin
Feebas may be a combination of feeble (weak) and bass. It also sounds similar to phoebus (Latin for shining one), possibly alluding to its evolved form.

Hinbass may be a combination of 貧 hin (poor) and bass."

#

So the japanese name uses bass too

short dirge
#

is that Japanese name a pun?

#

like in Japanese

grand tusk
#

And the hatchetfish thing is like.... ehhhhh

short dirge
#

I wouldn't say there's any hatchetfish resemblance

grand tusk
#

Not really?

short dirge
#

I'd be more likely to call feebas a bass than a hatchetfish

grand tusk
#

cause it is a bass

short dirge
#

my argument for feebas

#

at this point

#

is

grand tusk
#

"I dont feel like it is"

short dirge
#

generic ass fish mixed features with bass name just cos

#

the only argument for it being a bass is the generic pattern

#

magikarp has the square mouth and barbels and tough skin so it's got all that, it's something

#

feebas's only bass trait is the name, imo

plucky arch
#

i think i agree with Riviera

plush vale
short dirge
#

yeah but the people writing Origin in Bulbapedia are guessing many times

#

it's a hit or miss

plucky arch
#

if its a simple fish pokemon its just kind of an amalgam of fish

grand tusk
#

It's clearly not just the name

short dirge
#

seriously, I bet they just were like, here's a fish, what name can we give it

grand tusk
#

you just refuse to accept the body color and spotty pattern are bass traits

short dirge
#

brown is not a bass trait

plucky arch
#

"uhh its a weak fish, feeble one could say, oh bass is a type of fish, Feebas"

short dirge
#

brown is the trait of like, every dang fish

teal grove
#

there's reasons why bulbapedia writers use words like possibly and seems to be when they arent certain

plush vale
short dirge
#

if feebas was green, now we'd be talking

#

because even though there are brown bass, those are pretty rarely known ones

#

and the spots are completely random, not in the bass pattern format

#

so could equally be random markings

plucky arch
#

welcome to the IF server, the only discord server where you can argue about the biological inspirations of Feebas

grand tusk
#

Bass can 100% be brown

plush vale
short dirge
#

just said some bass are brown

#

but not the well-known ones

plush vale
#

why is this debate in contest general

grand tusk
#

Due to this shift in pigment, largemouth bass can camouflage themselves when ambushing prey or when being pursued by a predator. If they are in clear water with plenty of weeds or cover, they usually have darker or clearer markings. When they are found out in deep water or even shallow muddy water, the pigment moves further away from the skin and can take on a faded or bleached out appearance.

short dirge
#

because everyone uses this channel for everything

short dirge
#

but that's the intensity of the black pigmentation

#

not a change from green to brown

teal grove
short dirge
#

so the markings on the lateral line change and sometimes they gain new pigmentation networks from the camouflage, but it's not relevant to feebas

#

...last I checked, people treat this channel as a sprite-general-2 anyway

grand tusk
#

and chickens aren't orange and have arms but nobody denies combusken being a chicken

short dirge
#

most contest questions are "direct contest sprites to somewhere else" or "just read the sprite-contest channel"

grand tusk
#

they clearly took parts of the bass and went wild with it to make it ugly for their ugly duckling reference with milotic

short dirge
#

guess we'll never know

grand tusk
#

and where did you find feebas in gen 3? rivers

short dirge
#

ok

#

and what does a fish being in a river have to do with it being bass

#

bass are more commonly found in lakes not rivers

#

they usually enter rivers when lakes flood and carry them into rivers

grand tusk
#

well, moreso that's its a freshwater fish

plucky arch
#

Feebas is just a dumb ugly generic fish

grand tusk
#

Does Hoenn even have a lake?

cedar quest
#

Why the hell are we taking about Feebas in contest general???

short dirge
#

why the hell are we debating the logic of Feebas at all

plucky arch
#

no clue i just joined the discussion

cedar quest
#

This is a spriter general topic trolley

grand tusk
#

even though its feebass

short dirge
#

I mean every topic in here is spriter general topics

grand tusk
#

and I never shy from drama on topics with 0 importance

short dirge
#

and I said feebas is just called bass because it's a funny name not because it is actually a bass, cos it has zero bass features

#

feebas is a normal "let's make a fish" fish

grand tusk
#

which I find stupid because they don't do that with any other fish pokemon

plush vale
#

barely any is prob more accurate than zero

short dirge
#

barely any being the colour scheme and markings

#

feebas is brown because it's supposed to be dull and ugly

#

that's the whole concept of it

grand tusk
#

yeah, they took a bass and made it ugly(er?)

#

just like how they took a chicken and made torchic

#

because the funny thing is that pokemon designs take an animal and change it

plush vale
#

it could easily yes it's an amalgam an they took some aspects from bass

short dirge
#

I wonder if the dex entries answer this at all

#

Feebas's fins are ragged and tattered from the start of its life. Because of its shoddy appearance, this Pokémon is largely ignored. It is capable of living in both the sea and in rivers

#

interesting that it lives in marine too, has that ever happened in the games?

grand tusk
#

wow the dex entries for it are depressing

plush vale
#

theres go promo art fo it in ocean

short dirge
#

yeah they went hard on the dull, ugly and useless lore

#

even more-so than they did for magikarp lol

grand tusk
#

"Ridiculed for its shabby appearance, it is ignored by researchers."

#

jeez

short dirge
#

here's the part that's missing for me

#

if it was a bass

#

there'd be more bass-like lore for one thing

grand tusk
#

It eats anything, so it can even live in polluted streams and lakes. No one pays any attention to it.

short dirge
#

there's no mention of them being good game fish or sport targets, no mention of them having a big mouth, or chasing after large prey, or having camouflage

grand tusk
#

Yeah I dunno about that, pokedex entries aren't exactly the most well thought out thing

short dirge
#

you'd be surprised

#

but that doesn't help feebas's case for me

#

in Japan, bass are stocked in healthy waters and associated with clean streams that are popular with fishermen

plush vale
short dirge
#

yeah, which admittedly, might be something they focus on so hard it conceals any bass inspiration they could have used

grand tusk
#

Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.

#

jesus christ pokedex

short dirge
#

can we agree on something though

#

we need more aquatic pokemon

#

it continually bothers me that there's an entire god damn ocean of inspiration and most gens hardly introduce new ones

teal grove
#

ALMOST FORGOT TO SUBMIT MY LAST ENTRY

short dirge
#

it's ok you have more than a day left to forget

teal grove
#

NO I DONT I CANT USE THIS COMPUTER TOMORROW

plucky arch
#

i want a Vampire Squid

#

itd be very cool

grand tusk
#

Water types have the largest number in pokemon though im pretty sure

short dirge
#

I had this whole huge fangame idea I wrote a design doc for once, basically just an entirely ocean pokemon game

teal grove
short dirge
#

vampire and firefly squid would both be cool

short dirge
grand tusk
#

(IGN was right)

short dirge
#

0/10 too much water

plucky arch
#

id play an entire pokemon game where its all underwater

short dirge
#

but you'd basically be on a research vessel and there were two paths

plucky arch
#

(as long as its not all Water types)

short dirge
#

you could become a researcher or a pirate and join the other team

#

one was more battling, one was more exploring

plucky arch
#

like Stunfisk proves you can live underwater and not be water

grand tusk
#

Well without random encounters water based world is more appealing

teal grove
#

Ocean is scary

grand tusk
#

IGN was right about too much water, water areas were the worst parts of hoenn

teal grove
#

Reminds me of a horror story i once read about a submarine exploration crew

short dirge
#

I have a huge list of open ocean forms for stuff like taillow and deep ocean form luvdisc

grand tusk
#

nobody likes random encounters of the same 4 pokemon every 2 seconds

teal grove
#

They basically got really deep and picked up weird readings and the lights broke for a split second

#

They got the lights to go back on and they looked outside

#

Saw a huge, black reflective surface in front of them

#

And then it blinked

short dirge
#

Iron Lung is a good short horror game that came out recently

grand tusk
#

Was just thinking of Iron Lung

short dirge
#

Piloting a submarine with a limited view on an alien planet where there’s an ocean made of blood

#

And your only visual is a crappy low res camera that you can take pictures with every few seconds

plucky arch
#

Subnautica is also one of my favorite games just cause i do love me some ocean

short dirge
#

Endless ocean 2 was one of my faves

plush vale
plucky arch
#

Raft is also a good ocean game

plush vale
#

how bout that endless ocean

plucky arch
#

lots of good games where the premise is "Ocean" huh

short dirge
#

If I had time I’d love to make an ocean game

#

But real life takes all my time

teal grove
# plush vale so a whale

Well considering the submarine was the size of a bus and the black thing they saw was the pupil, it was much bigger

plush vale
#

oh

teal grove
#

That's the horror part

plush vale
#

I thought it was closed and opened

#

that's... different

short dirge
#

@cedar quest so when is the next contest

#

||New contest commemorating gen 5 with two different categories: black, and white. And you can submit 3 entries either between both or all into one||

grand tusk
#

I think it should be a feebas tournament so that the previous discussion counts as being on topic Genesus

short dirge
#

Omg

#

A contest where you have to make an ugly fish and a beautiful or powerful evo

teal grove
#

The next contest is another classic

#

PLEASE VOTE FOR KLINKLANG

shy river
#

Kling to the Klang rave

teal grove
#

It's my sole reason for existence

#

Id drop the sickest klinklang fusions ever

honest tulip
ocean crown
#

I’m so down to try some klinklang fusions

teal grove
#

Look if due to Contest Manager decisions Klinklang is omitted from the next classic contest poll ill just put it back in with my next win

ocean crown
#

That’s the spirit

#

I would love to choose klinklang if I won a contest but I would ah e to give my choice over to marshtomp first

grand tusk
#

I think

ocean crown
#

Middle evos need some love

grand tusk
#

it should be Klang instead

#

not klingklang, just klang

livid tulip
#

I can submit my sprite tomorrow, right?

thick jolt
#

id choose galvantula tbh, also yeah pretty sure you can

ocean crown
#

I think so, the original message was made the 20th with 7 days to submit and tommorow is the 26th

teal grove
#

I despise klang

#

You got much more you can do with klinklang

grand tusk
#

Klang time

#

I mean they're basically the same

teal grove
#

Except less colors and no ring

grand tusk
#

we can chuck the red

teal grove
#

Well id be tempted to use extra colors anyway

limber venture
#

i need to make a badass klinklang fusion sometime

teal grove
#

Yes

#

You need to

thin dove
#

hello there, i was wondering if i should submit either my goopy Gardevoir Grimer or my other Goopy Gardevoir Ditto

#

I'm not nearly as fast as a lot of you so i don't have nearly as many done

teal grove
#

That's the one i was talking about

#

Trollge

teal grove
thin dove
#

Revival:
for Ditto: Ditto tries to recreate his dead trainer over and over again but can't get it right
For Grimer: guy tries to recreate his dead wife, what he gets is a melted goop (sort of like FMA when they try to resurrect the mom)

#

both are trying to be "revival gone wrong"

misty acorn
#

Havent seen the sprites but the concepts sound ohyes

#

Ditto sounds like it would be easier to understand tho

thin dove
#

gardevoir/grimer & gardevoir ditto

#

....there's another gardevoir ditto???
i knew there was a first one that i had inadvertently made a mk. II for but now there's a third one. this is quite stressful

#

this contest is wringing my heart I swear, this is the third time in less than 3 days that this has happened to one of my contest ideas

hollow gull
#

When are submissions due again?

quartz locust
thin dove
#

sorta?

quartz locust
#

Which, actually, would be pretty cool takes on the theme. An evil rebirth. 😄

thin dove
#

i did try to make possession! Gardevoir alts too with Giratina but idk how well they read

misty acorn
quartz locust
thin dove
#

oh yeah, how do these brackets work exactly? are they open to everyone, everyone in IF, just spriters, or something else?

quartz locust
#

Everyone, spriters or not. 😄

#

In IF though, obviously, because it's an IF-run contest. 🙂

misty acorn
short dirge
#

and a few hours

misty acorn
#

23 more hours to think of an idea then

thin dove
#

i thought it was monday that was the cutoff?

short dirge
#

since there still hasn't been an official full deadline posted, who knows

#

it was supposed to be a week from the announcement, but the announcement wasn't posted at the time at GameR said would be the finishing time

#

and no date has been given as to when that time falls

misty acorn
#

Its a big conspiracy for sure

#

what are the contest managers hiding?

#

what is their secret master plan?

#

everything they say and do is perfectly planned and part of their master plan

#

we just gotta connect the pieces

short dirge
#

this is why you do not leave it to the last minute

#

easily solved

#

then do it now and don't feel called out :D

#

or give into the despair and realize you'll never win because there's going to be 200 entries

#

...and just make it anyway because why not

thin dove
#

you can do it!

limber venture
#

IM GONNA WIN

#

I BELIEVE

thin dove
#

I believe in all of you!

limber venture
#

DONT GIVE INTO THE DESPAIR

thin dove
#

choose hope (but not Nagito he corrupted the concept)

short dirge
#

rezza is going to win and claim a victory for Team No Dithering

limber venture
#

1/3 of my contest sprites have dithering

I hope the one with dithering wins

short dirge
#

better hope that one doesn't win then

#

lol

limber venture
#

the one with dithering is the best one

zinc lion
#

oh lol both of my entries so far have dithering out the wazoo

glossy oriole
#

does it matter if I post my entry in the gallery or in the drive first?

short dirge
#

dithering is an auto-pilot thing for me, I don't even consciously know what ones I use it on

#

you can post them to the drive first

#

I think some of us are posting in the gallery later

zinc lion
#

people are posting theirs exclusively in the drive, i don't know why

short dirge
#

...what's wrong with that

glossy oriole
short dirge
#

threads here don't tend to get feedback unless there's a lot wrong with them

#

so it's usually kinda pointless

#

unless you want a lot of "wow that's awesome"

limber venture
#

but what if i want a lot of wow thats awesome

short dirge
#

then you make threads

#

and post them every 2 hours in spritework-questions

glossy oriole
#

Also, I assume I don't actually put the .png in the name if it's already a png heehee

limber venture
#

imagine posting in spritework q's couldnt be me

short dirge
#

a lot of software do not let you save without a .png in the name

#

so that depends

#

if you are using a . already I mean

limber venture
#

my sprites are all so perfect i just gallery them straight away actually

short dirge
#

like in aseprite and csp, if you save something as "100.140".png it will break it

#

and you have to add the extension manually

#

why we need to save things in a broken format like that I dunno

#

I mean in general, you don't save things with a period dot in the name, that's silly

#

and it causes problems

limber venture
#

aseprite doesnt break for me when i save like that

glossy oriole
#

my question is, if it's already listed as a png file in my files, but doesn't have .png in the name itself, is it fine?

short dirge
#

it gives this error if I try

limber venture
#

i use export rather than save

short dirge
#

it's caused by a misplaced extension which is what happens if you add a "." to a file

#

it thinks you are putting .200 as the extension name

#

because that's what the period dot does in a file name

#

we should be saving stuff as 100-184 using a hyphen

graceful plank
#

yeah so you CAN save it that way on export only if you actively select the base folder

#

but yes I generally use a dash and then rename it after export

limber venture
#

i always select my base folder cause otherwise it goes into like the weird aseprite export folder

graceful plank
glossy oriole
#

NO THERE'S A STRAY PIXEL

#

dark theme has betrayed me...

hollow gull
#

I have this but it's just procrastinating with every excuse

#

Like

#

Oh I need to start a whole new limb? Time to put this down for 4 hours

#

You love to see it

thin dove
#

i also have "oh i need to try this new thing? let's start an entirely new base"

#

my canvas is filled with half-done fusions ;_;

zinc lion
short dirge
zinc lion
#

i would think entering them in a contest would be a lot more pressuring

short dirge
#

also more paranoia that people will steal ideas

short dirge
#

it still makes zero sense to me that people share their submissions around

#

that defeats the whole point of a contest imo, especially an art one

#

in 12 something years of sprite contests, this is the first time ever I've seen a community allow sharing and feedback of submissions

craggy remnant
#

i enjoy it tbh, im not very confident in my spriting abilities so its nice to have feedback

#

that being said i have had people finish fusions i was working on before i finished them up in the past but that wasnt for contests

zinc lion
#

yeah i get that part, but never posting it in feedback even after the contest is weird

#

personally when i see sprite ideas in spritework that i had, it incentivizes me to do a different idea but perhaps i'm a special case

craggy remnant
#

whats the countdown i wanna finish that mew sprite but i have school work to prioritize

short dirge
#

it's probably under 24 hours

#

or close to

#

here's my countdown that's 7 days from the announcement posting

#

but the actual deadline may differ from this

craggy remnant
#

okay thanks

#

man this sprite still looks too unlike dusknoir im gonna need to change the palette

#

i think i might make it shuppet at this point

kindred beacon
#

Mmmm maybe for it's belly it could have the same colour as it's hairs and the yellow can be used only on the small things like the stitches

#

But other then that it looks cool

craggy remnant
#

im try it

#

ill

odd garnet
#

What's this?
Dusknoir/Mewtwo?

zinc lion
#

i was a fool. i thought i could do a mega rayquaza sprite in a day...

odd garnet
#

How far did you do?

zinc lion
#

i'm working on the sketch rn Despair

#

guess i won't sleep

short dirge
#

Custom mega ray? That’s a pretty complex sprite to do

#

Probably not as bad as steelix but still up there

odd garnet
#

Definitely not as bad as Eternatus

short dirge
#

Hmm maybe

#

Hand form is easier I guess

graceful plank
craggy remnant
#

it isnt but everyone thinks it is so maybe ill make an alt

craggy remnant
balmy ibex
#

"fu.. ji.. oni.. san.."

craggy remnant
#

i mean. making pokemon fusions is kind of like making chimeras

ivory olive
#

you aren't wrong

odd garnet
#

Let's not discuss the ethicallity of fusing two Pokemon like it's fusing two living beings without their consent now xD

zinc lion
lunar zenith
#

Im confident with my entry

#

My only entry will make it to semis

still igloo
short dirge
#

the ethicality is probably like the golden sudowoodo

if anyone remembers that

yall better work quick

#

30 hours remain

too many hours

short dirge
raven carbon
#

Are we allowed to post our sprites here?

grand tusk

not really but people seem to do it anyway heehee

what time est will the contest end?

#

i need to know if i have 25 hours or 13

cedar quest
#

8 pm

zinc lion

just in time to watch last of us

8pm tomorrow or the next day

Dude there's 1 day left

especially if you keep the design fairly simple

#

mhm

teal grove
#

142 entries but there are 2 drawings in the drive @cedar quest

#

Both by @eternal turtle

limber venture
#

theyve been pinged over it like 4 times now i think

weary pagoda
#

wait-

lusty pewter
#

looks like they're new to the server, maybe they just don't get the contest? that or they're purposely joking fsr

wind matrix
#

rule 7 heehee

zinc lion
#

had a dream the new sprite contest was already announced and it was just 'make sylveon lopunny'.

weary pagoda
#

polls haven't started yet lie

zinc lion
#

not even lopunny sylveon, just that specific fusion

weary pagoda
#

(ok fine I'll move it lol

#

Did I just witness the deletion of a message?

#

While I was reading it?

rare footage of staff member deleting their own message

after being called out by another staff member huehue

COME ON DEADLINE
COME FASTER
DON'T LET THE ROSERADE CONTEST BE THE ONE WITH THE 2ND MOST ENTRIES

lusty pewter
#

next contest...

Hey guys, lets start the next contest! since our last attempt to limit the entries still resulted in too much entries, this time we will have a limit of only 0 entries per contestant. good luck :D

lusty pewter
#

yeah

teal grove
lusty pewter
#

unless they... idk... replace the file with pixel art like right at the last second

odd garnet
#

I mean
Robots

#

I can make Iron Bouquet

teal grove
honest tulip
zinc lion
#

i don't know why more people aren't doing roserade/klinklangs

craggy remnant
#

gears.

zinc lion
#

yeah true

teal grove
#

Im putting it back in as soon as i can

#

Besides, you're not helping to make klinklanklontest a reality

honest tulip
teal grove
#

Credit where credit is due

#

But we need it back if it gets removed

honest tulip
#

yea hopefully the next winner plop it back

raven carbon
#

The contest ends at 8pm today, correct?

lusty pewter
#

if we assume the day the contest start as day 1 then yeah, but I think that counts as day 0 so tomorrow is the deadline. not sure doe

short dirge
#

Given how many contests there have been I’m amazed this sort of basic communication hasn’t been figured out yet

odd garnet
#

How many hours left though?

honest tulip
lusty pewter
#

iirc someone post a timer? wait hol up let me scroll up

short dirge
#

He doesn’t even want to clarify the ending date and time either heehee

#

I posted a timer timed from the announcement

odd garnet
#

Am I just seeing things
Or has the amount of gardevoir entries went up from last time?

short dirge
#

Which is usually the time it ends but not this time

lusty pewter
#

not sure if this is correct or not but...

short dirge
#

My timer here is a week from the announcement

lusty pewter
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

honest tulip
short dirge
#

Which apparently we now know is not the actual contest end time

honest tulip
#

the timer shld be q accurate

lusty pewter
#

well fortunately for me I already submitted my 3 entries so I should be safe

raven carbon
#

Great so I don't even know if I have the time to make my third sprite

honest tulip
#

just look at the time the announcement was made and add 7 days so posted on 20th feb would be 27th feb

#

unless shits start happening again and they delay

short dirge
#

So it actually finishes at 8pm est

#

1am pst is 4am est

raven carbon
#

As my first contest this isnt setting a very good precedent

short dirge
#

Which means the contest either ends 8 hours earlier, or 16 hours later

raven carbon
#

Are contests always this messy?

short dirge
#

Because we don’t know the exact day

stray condor
#

FINALLY FINISHED MY CONTEST ENTRY HOLY FUCKING SHIT

short dirge
#

No idea but it’s my first too

lusty pewter
stray condor
#

huge weight lifted

normal oyster
#

Nice timer aint it

short dirge
#

If they posted the announcement at 1am it could be late from previous day or early for the current day

lusty pewter
short dirge
#

Either way the announcement does not specify date and time and this is pretty important basic knowledge for us to have

#

…more important for people who do it last minute, granted

honest tulip
#

jus... jus add 7 days guys it's more or less there

grand tusk
#

if you're doing it last minute then you deserve to miss your chance Genesus

short dirge
#

You don’t understand, they said it ends at 8pm est

#

Meaning the announcement time is either 8 or 16 hours off

#

That’s a lot of time

lusty pewter
#

true, ig that is a bunch of time wasted...

stray condor
#

but damn Im so relieved rn

livid tulip
#

The votes start tomorrow then? sweating

teal grove
stray condor
#

man this is the most stacked contest by a lot

dawn ivy
#

And that for 3 entries max lmao

raven carbon
teal grove
#

It's because of the 3 entries max

#

Without it we'd probably have around 70 entries

misty acorn
honest tulip
normal oyster
#

Probably

#

I feel like we doing a parasect contest

raven carbon
#

"Revival? Welp, let's use the zombie!!!" -Literally everyone, apparently

vivid sonnet
#

Maybe it's a good thing I procrastinated so long, since I doubt my ideas would have gone far anyways 😔

short dirge
#

I thought there'd be more phoenixes than zombies ngl

limber venture
#

Zombie easier to draw than feathers

grand tusk
#

shoulda done more skeletons

zinc lion
#

i for one would really prefer to know the day the contest ends

raven carbon
#

Same here

grand tusk
#

it ends right now, i'm personally ending it

#

its now done

raven carbon
#

I'm hesitant to even work on my third sprite bc I might only have 7 hours

zinc lion
#

imagine missing the deadline when you don't even know when the deadline is

raven carbon
#

Missing the deadline when the deadline itself is missing

zinc lion
#

i think regardless of when the contest ends it would be fair to give an extra day since gamr should've been transparent from the beginning

#

fair for me specifically

limber venture
#

I think it would be fairer if everyone except me got disqualified actually

grand tusk
#

we had like 5 extra days last contest lol

limber venture
#

he shouldve used one of those discord time embeds

shadow sluice
#

doesn't it say "you have 1 week to enter"?

raven carbon
#

I should have my vote counted as 300 votes

normal oyster
#

Uh

short dirge
#

feathers are easy wdym

normal oyster
#

Why are there 2 non pixel art drawings in the drive

short dirge
#

people bring that up every hour

#

just ignore it

#

contest mods will deny it when the submissions end

normal oyster
#

I see

zinc lion
#

it's a bit of an important distinction especially since it's as short of a timeframe as this

shadow sluice
#

sorry i don't understand

#

i think it ends in about 13 hours

#

what is the other option?

misty acorn
zinc lion
#

would they do that for one person?

zinc lion
#

alright
@weary pagoda @cedar quest please extend the deadline

weary pagoda
#

uh, maybe not lol, sorry

#

unless GamR decides otherwise of course

normal oyster
#

a bit more time wouldnt be bad

zinc lion
#

well i shot my shot

crude cedar
#

How much time do we still have?

normal oyster
#

no idea

shadow sluice
#

~13 hours?

normal oyster
#

it end somewhere tomorrow

crude cedar
#

oh sh** that means I have to do mine in the next 4-5 Hours since I have to work tomorrow XD

#

and its like 8pm XD

short dirge
#

last minute entrants scrambling and panicking at the last minute

#

IF the announcement time is the same time it ends, then there are 12 hours left

#

also lmao imagine if it ended sooner, people would murder

normal oyster
normal oyster
short dirge
#

the possibly ending range is basically 12 - 32 hours at this point

#

@cedar quest for the love of all that is holy please clarify ending time AND date, 8pm today, 8pm tomorrow??

normal oyster
#

A week is just a bit crap if you go to work

craggy remnant
#

ive just kinda given up on finishing my sprite on time if its soon i have schoolwork i gotta prioritize

short dirge
#

how long do y'all spend on your sprites

limber venture
#

like 5 hours max total

#

i spent like 2-4 hours on all my entries

normal oyster
#

2 days

craggy remnant
#

imagine knowing the passage of time

vivid sonnet
#

I got distracted by the Siren Song of "having a PC that can run games”

limber venture
#

i havent played video games since i started spriting for this

craggy remnant
#

i have time blindness so thats my excuse

normal oyster
#

While spriting i dont draw stuff correct the first time and it annoys me and i change it a few times

short dirge
#

people also get the siren song of "I'll just do it later"

normal oyster
#

I should rlly start drawing it out instead of making the design while spriting it

vivid sonnet
#

Focusing on something is both easy and hard for me

craggy remnant
#

siren song of fuck around and find out

normal oyster
craggy remnant
#

me trying to make my sprites make a lick of sense

zinc lion
#

my steelix took me 20

short dirge
#

on my end I finish them all in 2 days and spend the remaining 5 days distracted waiting for the voting to start

#

so either way I accomplish nearly nothing in the week

craggy remnant
#

the super mario one? im not surprised

short dirge
#

steelix is a hugely optimistic one to choose for a contest deadline

zinc lion
#

if gamr isn't active tomorrow but retroactively disqualifies my 3rd entry once he is imma riot

normal oyster
#

I would like a steelix contest

#

The crystals seem nice to work with

teal grove
#

KLINKLANG FIRST

vivid sonnet
#

Steel type only contest? Thonking

teal grove
#

Monotype themed contest would be cool

short dirge
#

gamr doesn't seem to be active in general

limber venture
#

tbf the only staff member i see more than like once a day is thorns

short dirge
#

because of this lack of communication we should all be declared winners

zinc lion
#

who'd have the server icon though

limber venture
#

me

vivid sonnet
#

Every winner gets 1 pixel

limber venture
#

i call dibs

zinc lion
#

it changes every hour

limber venture
#

boom

short dirge
#

just make a collage of every sprite and that's the icon

#

or make an animated one that flickers between all of them

vivid sonnet
short dirge
#

it doesn't have to be fast

#

the submissions are being reuploaded so much today lol

#

this is funny

hollow gull
#

Hey

#

We should do a specific type combination next time

#

Like everyone fuses random crap to make an electric/grass type

#

and then you just gotta be creative

limber venture
#

i think its a classic contest next time

hollow gull
#

Mmmm

#

Tasty

#

Wow this contest has forced me to improve a lot

#

I don't think my first sprite will make it past round 1

short dirge
#

tbh I think the person joking about winning being rng might have a point

#

because unless you can accurately predict what people want to see, and fulfill the contest simp meta, even a really good sprite might not go far

zinc lion
#

both of my entries got pretty far in the last contest and that was my first one so i have no idea what works and what doesn't

short dirge
#

yeah same

#

also what's the classic contest? one mon?

#

or classic being demakes to gen 1 style or something

zinc lion
#

first thing

#

but it can be a head or body

#

personally i find the head fusions much more interesting

short dirge
#

I assumed it had to be head

#

all the finals were heads I think

#

except for the one that won, so go figure

honest tulip
short dirge
#

imo there could be some really fun contest ideas like making an original mega evolution for a self fusion

honest tulip
short dirge
#

lmao

short dirge
#

lopunny too

#

don't think it's about execution as much as a really solid idea

#

which can be very tough

raven carbon
#

If I win(not gonna happen lol not even close) I'm probably gonna suggest Dusclops

Really cool shit can be made with dusclops

crude cedar
#

I started to work on my first Contest entry

short dirge
#

there are lambs yes

raven carbon

Good luck
May the phantom deadline be kind to you

Im sure I can finish Lambert in time and the other 2 ideas are pretty easy to do too and they are also good ideas

I think I can already tell how they will do XD

There are people who get that close to the deadline?

crude cedar
#

I had a busy week okay XD

crude cedar
#

Finished my second entry whooooooooooo

#

One more to doXD

#

my english starts dieing lol

crude cedar
#

Should I just say F it and dont add my last idea? It would be Able the SCP a fusion between Cofagrigus and Gallade

zinc lion
#

Whew! Got it in with two hours (speculation) on the clock!

#

Wasn't my original idea but it'll have to do for now, I can do the other idea later

vivid sonnet
#

I submitted something, so I think I'm satisfied smile

Best of luck to everyone who entered!

normal oyster
#

Somehow i made it

#

But at what cost

crude cedar
#

Im not gonna sleep tonight cuz I want to do my 3rd entry and if I sleep now and work tomorrow I wont be able to submitt it

#

Except it is still open to send stuff in tomorrow at like 8pm (living in germany using my time)

#

But if its exactly 7 days it will end tomorrow 10 am my time

misty acorn
#

Just

#

ask for an extended deadline

#

and go

#

slep

crude cedar
#

Nah I will just sing dumb ways to die while I drive to workheehee

#

I cant let the people wait longer cuz I had a helle busy week

#

And I cant do act like im sick cuz I didnt work for 2 months cuz I was in Winter Vacation

Or can I🤔
If I act good enough my Mom allows it and my working place can understand it if I tell them many people in my family are sick (whats actually true atm)

zinc lion

Now we can

Make Aegirocassus

After like a few other fusions

I must suck to work with lol 😅

@short dirge Y'all still have an entire day lmao

I can sleep Despair

raven carbon

NO WAY

#

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A DEADLINE

crude cedar

Still try to get a sick day tomorrow

cedar quest

I think a lot of you were overthinking it

#

If the announcement was made on the 20th (my time), then why the hell would it be today? That

#

That's not even the full week yet trolley

Contest over

#

Wait we have another day?

cedar quest
#

byeah

zinc lion
#

Gamr why were you the only member in this server with that information

#

Not even the other contest managers knew

cedar quest
#

I wasn't, y'all just can't read trolley

#

1 week = 1 week. This is Day 6.

zinc lion

I was counting from the 20th 😅

short dirge

inhales
announcement posted at 4am est, saying it'll last a week
"guys I told you it ends at 8pm est, not 4am est"
this is a whole 16 hours different from the announcement time
everyone is confused, not even other contest managers know for sure
then you tell us "you guys can't read" despite this information not being presented anywhere until now

raven carbon
#

I still have a day!!!

crude cedar
#

Me too

#

I mean im happy I thought it would end sooner it made me finaly sit on atleast 2 entrys

grand tusk
cedar quest

Honestly, if this is what the new age of contests is gonna be. I don't want part of it.

vivid sonnet
cedar quest
#

Like it's just so much complaining

grand tusk
#

Didn't we get extra time for the roserade entries?

cedar quest
#

IDK IDC

#

Done with being a CM

vivid sonnet
#

I feel as though if you are managing contests, you need to make peace with the fact that some participants will be annoying

grand tusk
#

Oh i'm not complaining, I'm just trying to remember

vivid sonnet
#

I don't remember there being an extension for the Roserade contest, but I could have just not been paying attention

grand tusk
#

I know there was a delay for trying to have a new poll system, so I can't remember if that meant extra time

#

Cause I had already finished mine

vivid sonnet
#

As far as I can tell, the contest ended at the intended time and the contest managers struggled to come up with a polling method after

limber venture
#

the real solution is to just finish all your entries the day its announced

cedar quest
#

The Contest team is already the smallest Staff team in IF, we are still looking for people, yet all that still happens is mass complaining

#

So, as it stands, this contest will be my last contest

#

And I'm retiring from being a CM

grand tusk
#

well shit

vivid sonnet
#

Hm! Very well, take care of yourself. What would a person need to do to apply for a contest management position?

crude cedar
#

Ngl I wouldnt want to be one
Looking that everything works
Trying to make it right for most people
Its for sure a shit task to do

short dirge
#

I mean I genuinely hope that a simple request for a stable deadline is not "annoying"

raven carbon
vivid sonnet
#

I also like the time embeds from before, but having folks constantly ask about it does sound annoying at the very least. No hard feelings here

limber venture
#

I feel like you overthought the time a little bit riv

short dirge
#

yeah but it's the difference between 16 hours more or less time

grand tusk
#

also its 8 hours not 16

short dirge
#

overthinking or not, that's very significant

short dirge
grand tusk
#

8pm to 4am

short dirge
#

well, that's the other direction

#

which was another reason I wanted it clarified

#

I don't care about the deadline because I finish stuff fast, but there were a lot of people here confused and I wanted this resolved for the good of everyone

grand tusk
#

shoulda just got it done before the last day then Genesus

short dirge
#

if it was a couple hours, fair enough, nothing to overthink about

#

but 8 or 16 hours is a huge jump in deadline

grand tusk
#

and yet you still overthought it

short dirge
#

I overthought something that was important for the contest and no one knew?

grand tusk
#

yes

#

1 week

limber venture
#

Was it not just time of posting + 168 hours

short dirge
#

nope

#

that's why this was a problem

short dirge
# grand tusk 1 week

I mean I can't be the only one who thinks that wanting to know the duration of the contest is not to be dismissed as "overthinking"

zinc lion
#

I've only been here for a month but I'd be more than happy to fill in as contest manager if you're feeling pressured gamr

short dirge
#

I do apologize if my actions resulted in this outcome, but I do still believe that this was important information that needed to be addressed

#

unless we all want to laugh at the last minute entrants who can't figure out the deadline

grand tusk
#

no just the guy who submitted drawings

#

no this date was the most obvious and logical choice, you just went braindead over it

#

8pm est 7 days later

short dirge
#

Don't know about most logical, but either way, we shouldn't have to guess

grand tusk
#

you didn't have to guess, you just overthought it

#

it was obvious

raven carbon
#

We do realize arguing about it isn't going to solve anything

grand tusk
#

I like arguing

short dirge
#

well if this is a contest issue it can still be fixed for future contests

grand tusk
#

I won't argue that as a suggestion for future contests to add a timer

but I don't see how the logical option was assuming that the deadline was 8pm the previous day from when the announcement was posted

grand tusk
#

4 am on the 20th -> 8pm the 27th, 7 days

short dirge
#

you said it was 8 hours

grand tusk
#

I know but now i'm not trolling

#

maybe

short dirge
#

trolling isn't particularly productive to this conversation

grand tusk
#

neither is being so annoying you make someone quit

short dirge
#

especially since a contest manager might be leaving because of the issue

thick jolt
#

i dont think this conversation is particularly productive

grand tusk
#

good

short dirge
#

🪦

raven carbon
#

Don't tell me this type of arguing is common for contests

grand tusk
thick jolt
#

if yall would like to carry on feel free to take it to dms but seriously?

grand tusk
#

Ew DMs

short dirge
#

if there's no agreement or resolution at this point, it is better to just drop the subject

vivid sonnet
#

At this point, it seems like Riviera's stuck on this one contest situation even though he himself said he doesn't care about the deadline. I think it's time to move on

short dirge
#

Well, forgive me for caring about the other participants :'D

grand tusk
#

I only used that for helping that one guy wih DB Legends or for sending mods info that I don't want users to see and try to delete to hide their actions

#

I would never use DMs if I could help it, I want the world to hear my voice (even if its text)

vivid sonnet
#

Caring for other people is nice, but arguing about a single point for a single contest isn't really helpful

#

Cofagrigus contest when

vivid sonnet
#

Anyways

short dirge
#

well it's nearly finished now

thick jolt
#

cofa contest would be fun but your team is smashing it with the entries so by the time we get it thered be no fusions left

limber venture
#

That's true

#

I need to get 84 cofas before its done

grand tusk
#

he wants to stop at 300 though

storm grotto
#

We ARE slowing down tho

raven carbon
grand tusk
#

he's trying to buckle at the last stretch Genesus

limber venture
#

It would be suuuuuuch a shame if everyone started making cofas so i couldn't get 84 before it's done

short dirge
#

it'll get towards rhyhorn family not being done and then stall for weeks

limber venture
storm grotto
#

It's just rhyperior as always lol

vivid sonnet
#

Rhyperior 🤢

limber venture
#

Victor you do rhyperior

thick jolt
#

i kinda want to do a proper rendition of munchlax snorlax, working on my smough inspired one was acc quite fun

limber venture
#

You're the rhyperior guy now

#

You did one rhyperior and this is all you will be forever

storm grotto
#

I did Pyukumuku/Rhyperior to fill the Rhyperior part of my personal chart, never again

thick jolt
#

(why is rhyperior hated on?)

storm grotto
#

He's annoying to recolor and edit

limber venture
#

He destroys the spirit of the line.

storm grotto
#

Besides from the fact that he really is ugly and does not fit with the rest of the line

limber venture
#

this one is too hard idk what to pick

grand tusk
#

haters don't like that rhyperior is 10 times cooler then the other 2

shadow sluice
storm grotto
#

Okay, make Team Rhyperior then

raven carbon
#

I could try my hand at Cofaperior once the contest concludes

cedar quest
#

...that part of the form is a bit outdated trolley

limber venture
#

i like the extremely blurry picture of a dabbing slowpoke at the top

storm grotto
grand tusk
#

You still gonna be mod? Cause I feel you then

#

out of the frying pan and all that

raven carbon
storm grotto
#

That's.... Sad to think about

vivid sonnet
#

Admittedly, don't dislike Rhyperior as much as I dislike Magmortar

grand tusk
#

I still maintain that Fraxure, as the mon with the least amount of fusions, should have a contest

#

unless a new unloved idiot has won

storm grotto
raven carbon
thick jolt
#

stantlers in this?

shadow sluice
#

rhyperior is way better than boring rhydon and rhyhorn

Which is not Good either, but you know

vivid sonnet
#

Middle evos have it rough

storm grotto
#

They really do

grand tusk
#

they deserve it by being ugly 80% of the time

#

we can't all have a grovyle in our life I suppose

#

Some get stuck with rhydon Genesus

storm grotto
#

I was going to say Combusken

raven carbon
#

I would like to see a Deoxys fusion contest

I haven't seen many Deoxys fusions that make my jaw drop

limber venture
#

deoxys defense contest

#

since it's the coolest form
