event-general

[crisp cargo]

i only really entered because i had a fun idea for a fusion

[gleaming sand]

And i care only in part about my placement of my sprite

The average person will think it's cool

That's enough

[random crypt]

I feel like the staff can't win either way, if its voted by polls people complain about sfx, metas and white names, mini judged contests the results either aren't fast enough or their opinion is wrong

like it's a hard balance to strike to be perceived as fair by everyone

[cloud solstice]

I'm not complaining personally, I got better ranks when the staff judges

[crisp cargo]

maybe the solution is to not have (non-paid) contests anymore
(for the record this is a joke)

[limber venture]

Just give everyone first

[random crypt]

everyone wins!

[wary canopy]

i definitely do think this is the best way for contests to be judged, but yeah, its the nature of contest itself that is always going to cause issues. for people to win others need to lose, and thats always going to make folks upset

ok true thats a solid solution

[limber venture]

You open the results and it asks you your discord username then if your username matches someone that submitted it makes a fake results page with you in first

Easy

[random crypt]

also ig the fact people have discovered you can see the individual scoring for each sprite probably makes it worse

[errant yarrow]

Yeah, I like the idea of knowing the scores that each judge gave. But it feels like people are focusing way too much on 0's

[cloud solstice]

people have asked for it
personally I think it's interesting to see if the sprite was controversial or if the votes where close

[gleaming sand]

I didn't get a lot of 0s

I got a ton of 2s tho

[random crypt]

i honestly don't mind, it's just people asking to see their scores but then feel upset about it regardless

[crisp cargo]

i'd rather read detailed critiques but i know that's completely unfeasible

[random crypt]

yeah that's the unfortunate part of 170+ entries

they could maybe do 1 thing they liked and 1 thing to improve but then that'd exacerbate the timing of results which people don't seem to like

[cloud solstice]

the results would comes out 1 month later

[gleaming sand]

It would be fine, at least we would know what we did wrong

[limber venture]

People were complaining about the results being like a day later

I think people would be slightly upset about the waiting time for detailed critique

[random crypt]

2 hours go by where are the results??

[limber venture]

This server just doesn't have enough staff for like, any of the staff roles

[random crypt]

god forbid staff have lives

[limber venture]

Not enough CMs not enough SMs not enough mods

[cloud solstice]

when results of the next contest

[random crypt]

next contest, first 30 people to submit a sprite get in

[sturdy mirage]

where are the contests?

[random crypt]

everyone else is discarded

[sturdy mirage]

i swear i even have the badge so i get informed but didnt parcitipated in one so far

[random crypt]

#event-announcements they're all posted here

there's no active one atm

[sturdy mirage]

odd that theres no.. ping

do yall get pinged?

[limber venture]

You don't have the badge

[crisp cargo]

wait i did participate in the contest

[sturdy mirage]

why did i lose it wtf

[crisp cargo]

hell i participated in the jirachi contest where's that one

[limber venture]

i don't think you guys know how the contest participant role works

it's a self assignable role for the pings

[wary canopy]

its an opt in role, you get it in the id:customize channel

[limber venture]

you don't get given it for participating in the contest

[crisp cargo]

oh

[wary canopy]

i dont want any damn pings i dont have it either

[crisp cargo]

should be "contest pings" then

[sturdy mirage]

i know.

now i hope i wont lose the badge

maybe i clicked double last time

[crisp cargo]

or maybe someone is looking at you specifically to remove the role

(for all intents and purposes - this is a joke)

[sturdy mirage]

ill beat that guy up then. personally

extreme violence

[nimble robin]

Wait there's more than one hundred people trying to win the contest?

[crystal hill]

there's more than one hundred people participating in the contest

not all of them have to be trying to win

[civic mauve]

They removed all roles the other day to get rid of inactive feedback givers so it probably happened then

[modern kernel]

whens the next mon announced?

[sturdy mirage]

i didnt parcitipate in the last 3 contests tho

;w;

[errant yarrow]

I think they only reset the feedback giver role, I still have all my roles

[modern kernel]

yeah would be dumb to reset all of them

[sturdy mirage]

i must have somehow failed to get the badges despite clicking on them

[civic mauve]

Huh weird, I could’ve sworn I lost all mine ^^;

[fresh kindle]

omg I got 18 points

[civic mauve]

Which one was yours?

[fresh kindle]

one of the lopunny/froslass ones

[torn dawn]

Eeep receiving 3x 1 point is kinda harsh (for my entry)

[fresh kindle]

this one

[indigo ice]

voting was brutal it seems

[fresh kindle]

keep in mind, there's tons of submissions and mods only have a certain amount of points they can give

[civic mauve]

Oh she looks pissed… I love it xD

[fresh kindle]

XD

the other one looked better though tbh

[torn dawn]

But 24 points overall

[fresh kindle]

which makes sense, cuz I'm relatively new to the pokemon style of spriting

[torn dawn]

She’s scheming

[fresh kindle]

XD

[modern kernel]

i should‘ve submitted my froslass dragonite

[torn dawn]

My Tyrunt entry did so much better than my Snorunt entry

[modern kernel]

that one probably had a better chance in hindsight

[indigo ice]

looks around shyly (made da other frosbunny).. I live and breathe the gen5 sprites do not even worry i think urs is so so neat her dress and ears make me very happy

[subtle moss]

from placing or points, because there's just less possible points overall?

[indigo ice]

<---- his ass needs to sleep

[torn dawn]

Ahh then maybe not

[modern kernel]

i did worse for both lol

[subtle moss]

yeah I had like 10 less points but I was up 10 or so places

[torn dawn]

The Tyrunt one had like 46 points or something

[modern kernel]

much much worse

[torn dawn]

But I guess for this one I should have submitted my Froslass/Zekrom

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1145772444045541419/1147140896941428897/image_-_2023-09-01T140814.436.png

Instead of hooded cat

[lusty crystal]

For whatever pokemon it is I'm going to stick to using RNG this time

[torn dawn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543958354377179176/1145826813189296168/427.196.png

[modern kernel]

i should have submitted him

[subtle moss]

fun idea. Not sure if I'm gonna do the same though

[torn dawn]

I live her tho

[crisp cargo]

i'm just gonna do my own thing

[subtle moss]

depends on if I have a really good idea or not

[torn dawn]

Omg yesssss

[crisp cargo]

as in, not enter the next one

done entering contests for.... prob the rest of however long IF has lol

[torn dawn]

Maybe that’s a good call

[modern kernel]

no i‘m too stubborn i gotta win one

or i can never rest

[crisp cargo]

well like

the audience doesn't like my sprites. judges don't like my sprites

so what's the point

[torn dawn]

I know the whole idea of a contest is competition but idk sometimes you just don’t want to see your baby doing not so good

[fresh kindle]

the point is having fun

[lusty crystal]

Got a fairly good pokemon with it

[crisp cargo]

i'm not having fun though, that's the problem

[fresh kindle]

why aren't you having fun?

[crisp cargo]

have you ever felt extremely proud of something you did only for everyone around you to basically tear it down

even if it's not direct

[torn dawn]

Therefore I’d say it’s a good call for you (and maybe for me too)

[modern kernel]

yeah it is

for me it‘s motivating but if it just brings u down then whats the point

[fresh kindle]

yeah, but then I realize It's not a big deal and keep trying

anyways, if you wanna stop, that's ok, just know that it's fine to not do good and that not doing good is an opportunity to learn how to get better

[subtle moss]

"and the next pokémon to join the roster is vespiquen"

[crisp cargo]

that'd be great and all if there was indication of what's wrong so i could fix it

but (understandably) it's not feasible

[modern kernel]

what was ur sprite, i can give u some feedback if u want

[fresh kindle]

same

[subtle moss]

Oh right I still need to put my contest entry in the gallery.

imma do that real quick

[fresh kindle]

XD

[modern kernel]

i need to put the dragonite in the gallery

before someone beats me to it

[fresh kindle]

I can't do that yet, since I don't have the spriter role yet xd

[crisp cargo]

nah i don't really want anything rn

i already put it up on the gallery anyway so no point

[modern kernel]

new mon today probably

or tomorrow

i hope its another dinosaur😁

i‘ll take the black lizard thing too

[crisp cargo]

I hope not, I don't want to be tempted to join again

[misty acorn]

[crystal hill]

spheal please

[modern kernel]

well u can just make dino sprites for fun without joining

win win

[torn dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/deal-with-it-goomy-pokemon-gif-4782203

[modern kernel]

it‘s not like u gain anything from winning anyway really

[modern kernel]

no

[crystal hill]

fuk u we need spheal

can't wait for the joke alts

[modern kernel]

spheal is 100% confirmed not needed

[modern kernel]

tf is this lmao

[crystal hill]

spheal is literally round

[fresh kindle]

what IS needed is marshadow

[modern kernel]

fact

[crystal hill]

spheal

[random crypt]

u gain a role and.. that's it

also clout

[modern kernel]

true

[thick harness]

and NOTHING else...

[fresh kindle]

which is useless unless you have fame

[wary canopy]

nothing else at all

[modern kernel]

i just want the ego boost from winning tbh

[torn dawn]

The server pic is your Pokémon for some days

[random crypt]

yeah

so clout

[modern kernel]

if i win one contest i will disappear forever

[fresh kindle]

I just wanna get better

[indigo ice]

i was feeling pretty down after the tyrunt line results because in my eyes my sprite was good. and yeah! it was decent. what I've realised is that the sprites even that im proud of, i make them thinking of the game not of the contest, they're looking for your Best something that's fun to look at fuck around and find out and let loose type beat . and mine were decent just not very interesting to look at you gotta go past the limits of idle standing sprite (this is just based on my sprites im unsure which is yours so it might not be a posing thing 2 the judges) and outside of contests you can always practice for sprites youd want to be in the next contest. basically what im saying is dont feel too beat down there are so many 5alent3d people in this server it feels hard to shine but there will always be people in the contest, even if you aren't in the top sprites, and they'll be rooting for you and your next entry and that support only ever grows. TAKES A DEEP BREATH

[random crypt]

for what it's worth i rly like the one u submitted

[modern kernel]

i think my problem is that i try to make references too much

[fresh kindle]

tysm

[crystal hill]

anyways here's my top 10 pokemon in order
eiscue is not an option so as you can see spheal is the most needed one

[fresh kindle]

but I can still improve

[random crypt]

yeah, someone's always gotta lose and that's hard to keep in mind

[thick jolt]

eheheheheh crustle

[fresh kindle]

also keep in mind, just because you lose doesn't mean you're bad

[modern kernel]

why do i only recognize half

[indigo ice]

but you will always be a winner to someone. and then one day you might be a winner dtat. YEAH!!

[modern kernel]

wtf is that ice cube penguin

[crystal hill]

no actually everyone except the person that gets first is bad

[indigo ice]

like I mega lost still but im feeling the power

[crystal hill]

that's Eiscue, my boy

[indigo ice]

Look at my head Boy

[crisp cargo]

you know maybe don't say this to a guy who's already feeling fucking down about a contest lol

[fresh kindle]

lies. everyone knows the bad one is the person in first

[crisp cargo]

even if it's a joke

[fresh kindle]

he didn't though

he said it in general, not to you XD

[random crypt]

reverse contest where the ppl who score lowest win

[indigo ice]

@crisp cargo

[crisp cargo]

I already read it

[fresh kindle]

everyone just sends memes and it ends in a 100000000-way tie

[crisp cargo]

Respectfully, I completely disagree

[versed ridge]

KAIJU SPRITE WITH EFFECTS AND DITHERING AND STAIRCASING WHILE FACING RIGHT

[indigo ice]

otay

[crystal hill]

I would straight up submit a photo of a shitty sketch

[crisp cargo]

Especially considering some top results are honestly quite "normal" design and pose-wise

[random crypt]

if you feel it'd be better for your mental health, just don't participate

[modern kernel]

i swear to whatever is in heaven if the next mon is legendary, an ultrabeast or bruxish i will abandon society and live out the rest of my days in the forest

[random crypt]

pls don't put down other's entries

[fresh kindle]

fr

[crisp cargo]

well i said normal, not that i don't like them or that people shouldn't like them

[random crypt]

at the end of the day it's all a matter of opinion, your sprite may be someone's fave

and you won't know bc who tf goes around shouting about it

[fresh kindle]

or else people would put down yours as retaliation, and it would just result in an endless loop of negativity

[modern kernel]

i do😁

[lusty crystal]

I hope shuckle gets in

[random crypt]

time to start a campaign!!

[modern kernel]

cofagrigus tyrantrum got robbed my mfing goat

[versed ridge]

Me praying for mythical

[crisp cargo]

can't put down someone who's already at the bottom baybeeee

[fresh kindle]

nah, Pikachu deserves to be in it way more than shuckle does smh

[random crypt]

respectfully if you feel this much anguish over not winning perhaps it's best you stay away from it

[crisp cargo]

i shouldn't even be upset rest of my life's finally going well

it's not even "not winning" it's just not getting any sort of good result

[crystal hill]

I have good news for you

||there's hot singles in your area||

[random crypt]

art always has and always be subjective

i mean at the end of the day, no matter what we say you're pretty set on how you feel

that's ok but the more you mald over it the worse you'll feel

[indigo ice]

97th on my tyrantrum fusion really knocked me down several maybe multiple digit pegs

[crisp cargo]

right now it just feels like people are putting words in my mouth for the sake of it

[random crypt]

nobodies putting any words in your mouth

they're just providing their opinions?

[modern kernel]

man i got 120 or so this time

[random crypt]

literally nobody has said you said anything

[modern kernel]

i thought this would be my best entry yet

and its by far the worst

[indigo ice]

I think people are just trying to show it in a lighter aspect because you seemed really down about it

seemed is putting it lightly

[random crypt]

sometimes ranking depends on competition haha

no tho i rly like urs i have no idea how it's below mine 😭

but i'm not ab to check scores and find out haha

any 0s boutta make me yeet myself

[modern kernel]

which was urs

[crisp cargo]

at the end of the day i think i'm just tired

[indigo ice]

plus minicontests have a completely different voting system i have not been back for a normal contest thougy

[crisp cargo]

i've done one of each

[random crypt]

imo urs should've done better than mine

[crisp cargo]

in both i've gotten bad results

so audience doesn't like it and judges don't like it

[modern kernel]

i think it was because i made a roboraptor reference and the judges are too old for that lol

[random crypt]

art is subjective

doesn't mean nobody likes it

[random crypt]

haha fair

i mean i have no idea what roboraptor is but i love him

[modern kernel]

that ones cute

[crisp cargo]

i mean there's subjective and there's "90% of people looking at it directly in comparison to others don't like it"

(statistic pulled out of my ass)

[modern kernel]

was a popular remote control dinosaur toy in like early 2000s

[indigo ice]

roborsptor like the robot toy because if that was glalie tyrantru

YEESSSSSSS

[crisp cargo]

think i'm just gonna mute this server for the time being

[indigo ice]

FUXK 7ES

[random crypt]

see the amount of people who say that voted contests are mainly dependent on sfx and metas :)

[crisp cargo]

easier on me

[random crypt]

just take a break

[indigo ice]

123445666643114563

I miss roboraptor

[random crypt]

ohhh

[modern kernel]

i never got one

[indigo ice]

I thought I was going insane but the marking looked so spot on

[crisp cargo]

not really an option but i am muting this server for my own sanity

[random crypt]

i was too young to remember i think 🤔

[indigo ice]

he fucking WALKED

[modern kernel]

he did

[wary canopy]

you can absolutely take a break from the server/IF in general, its a volunteer project done for fun :') dont do it if its making you feel worse

[modern kernel]

and turned his head

[random crypt]

that's so cool

the closest thing i remember is the lil hex bugs

whatever they're called

[modern kernel]

it was the coolest fucking thing possibly of all time?

[versed ridge]

Oh yeah hex bugs

I owned a hex bug once

[indigo ice]

it was the ever

they have new looking versions at kmart but i4s not the same

I miss the og

[fresh kindle]

90%? only the mods are judging

that's less than 10%

[random crypt]

think they mean the audience voted too

[modern kernel]

yeah i looked at prices yesterday but the og is like 120€

[random crypt]

but again see metas

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modern kernel]

not paying for that

[random crypt]

my first contest i was out first round and had low votes but hey it was fun LMAO

[crisp cargo]

y'know when i like. muted the server the point was to not get pinged also

[versed ridge]

I got to semi finals in my first contest
I got outted round one on my second 🥹

[random crypt]

sometimes it rly do be like that

[indigo ice]

my ass us going to Zleep

[wary canopy]

ive only been in one community voted contest, i think that was for the better

[indigo ice]

snork mimi

[random crypt]

i honestly pref staff judged

[versed ridge]

They didn't like that my submission was literally just " 🤓☝️ the fusion"

[wary canopy]

i definitely prefer staff judged too yeah

[random crypt]

petition for more staff judged

[modern kernel]

i just need a new contest

i need to make a comeback

[wary canopy]

its been a nice incentive to create like... actual game sprites rather then standalone art pieces that look stylistically so out there haha

[versed ridge]

True

[random crypt]

atleast we know how to please 1 of the judges

make a sprite that looks like it belongs in B/W

ez

[versed ridge]

I don't want Winner sprites to just be "FX abuse #191390"

[modern kernel]

yeah but thats lame

[indigo ice]

camera pans to blaquaza

[random crypt]

hey that's just 1 of the judges

nobody says you have to conform to all the judges LMAO

[wary canopy]

i mean, we are spriting for a pokemon game making it seem at least related to that sure does help

[modern kernel]

yeah but still lame

[indigo ice]

blaq scored my tyrantrum good so im resting relatively easy in 5hwt department

[random crypt]

blaq literally votes based on how gen 5 spritey it is so making it at least a lil gen 5 works in your favour

[indigo ice]

I live and breathe thr gen 5 style . or sy least sometimes

my m horizons are expanding

[versed ridge]

I try not to make it too over the top but sometimes I struggle 🥹

[wary canopy]

then why are you spriting in the pokemon sprite server if you dont like the pokemon style?
on a more serious note though i never could have placed anywhere as high as i have the past two contest on a community contest so i will take the wins while i can

[versed ridge]

I have been getting better at reducing my colors

[random crypt]

also jesus, tee 6 with 55 0s out here

[indigo ice]

I KNOOWWW

who hurt tee 6

[random crypt]

out of curiousity which one is yours?

[modern kernel]

i just wanna make cool pixel art stuff

[random crypt]

someone out there did 100%

[wary canopy]

i did the flareon/froslass! this one

[random crypt]

dsfksdmfsd fmy heart

[indigo ice]

BROOO

[random crypt]

[indigo ice]

3ating it

[fresh kindle]

flarelass

[modern kernel]

that ones awesome

[wary canopy]

thank you all!! :'D ive been trying to do all the eeveelutions for froslass its been a very fun project , im glad folks liked this one too

[modern kernel]

ok i‘ll make my next one gen 5 style ur sprite convinced me

[fresh kindle]

flarelare?

[random crypt]

oh crap i got no 0s, winning

i atleast pleased blaq \o/

[fresh kindle]

XD jk

[subtle moss]

congrats on tied 4th place

[indigo ice]

I think I've reached a good mix of gen5 style with some added shading to feel more dynamic I judt need to focus on again. poses

[wary canopy]

yess my plan has worked
in all seriousness, excited to see what youll come up with!

[indigo ice]

I like the more idle poses for my game sprites but I need to start getting Dynamic

[versed ridge]

How do I not go overboard with shading

I have little sense of self control

[random crypt]

why is it cube??

[indigo ice]

study the shading of the sprites you want to fuse

why is it a cube?
what is it??

[random crypt]

what is it???

tee 6 seemed to like it, gave it a 5

gotta study all these votes to see who likes what 🤔

[indigo ice]

(staff spotlight)

[wary canopy]

tee 6 knew what was up

[random crypt]

tee 6 got some good opinions

[versed ridge]

Its funny that this is what got the spotlight

[random crypt]

deserved

[indigo ice]

tee 6 did Not give me a 0 or 1 so I genuinely think I won as much as I could of

[random crypt]

same

considering tee 6's 55 0s

i didn't get a 0, i feel like i won

[indigo ice]

like not seeing any 0s or 1s across my own board was so satisfying it tells me im getting better my art is satisfying broader audiences rather than niche ones now. I just Need to get betterer

[crude cedar]

i actually prefer the entries that look like they belong in the game, “lame” is kind of cruel. think about the talent you need to match the style and feel of gen 5 and make it convincing! id be handing out high scores to people who can replicate the nostalgia if I had the option to in contests lmao, it comes down to personal taste, which is why there are so many judges and different tastes :)

[random crypt]

i got 3's and 2's which is pretty aight!

[modern kernel]

its ditto i guess

but

why

[random crypt]

why not

[modern kernel]

i like it

[indigo ice]

kiss me ans make it count

[crude cedar]

[indigo ice]

cool 👍

[random crypt]

my poor eyes ashahaha

[crude cedar]

LOLLL

[versed ridge]

ETERNASWEEP

[modern kernel]

yeah ur right, i just personally find it boring to try and replicate another artstyle when i‘m drawing anything, i‘d much rather just see what i can come up with myself

and i‘ll be much prouder of that when it‘s done

more proud

what do u say

english

[crude cedar]

makes sense 👍

[wary canopy]

fair yeah! i always like mimicking others styles , since it forces me to think a bit differently about how im drawing- its always a good learning experience

[versed ridge]

Me when I tell everyone they should draw Eternatus

[indigo ice]

its just a bit awkward when the game aims for the gen5 style sprites LOLLL (this isn't me saying fuck it all to every stylised sprite because they usually look so damn cool)

ok. my ass is sleeping. real this time

[versed ridge]

Nighty night

[civic mauve]

I wonder if it’d help if the Judges added another column where they could include comments. Like it’d be a place to put the stuff like “too much dithering”, or “looks blurry”, or “my favorite” w/o giving a 0

[random crypt]

i think that'd be cool without adding too much load to them

[gleaming sand]

tee 6 is NOT based

[civic mauve]

Obviously they could still include it in the main column if they want to make a point tho

[gleaming sand]

he's the one who commented "D I T H E R I N G" on my sprite

[random crypt]

omg blaq is that u?

[gleaming sand]

it's very probably blaq lmao

[versed ridge]

Tbf you did say you wanted it to have a lot of dithering even if it's usually frowned upon

[modern kernel]

i assume if he commented that he was gonna give it a 0 anyways

[gleaming sand]

yes, but i still put too much. But it was way too late to change it

[civic mauve]

Plus it’d probably reduce the number of us asking why we did bad ^^; or at least skip a few steps since instead of asking what’s wrong we’d just ask how we can fix it

[modern kernel]

but commenting „my favourite“ and giving it a 0 because of that is a bruh moment

[versed ridge]

You should ping the judges about this

😁

I hope the next one is one of my picks so I can actually participate this time

[civic mauve]

Gonna make it an official suggestion actually

[gleaming sand]

oh lmao, the spotlight got 169th

[heavy furnace]

That was pretty funny

[versed ridge]

It had a single 5 in a sea of 1s and 0s

[primal iron]

lol i got a chuckle out of that too

[gleaming sand]

lmfao

[late sequoia]

Yeah spotlight is just whatever the judges feel like no matter the placement lol

[heavy furnace]

2 of them didn't even rate it, it was just text

[versed ridge]

I hope one day they support gen 8 so I can finally vote for Eternatus

[gleaming sand]

it's not about allowing

jesus christ, tee 6 is so unsatisfiable

he gave the most 0s

55

[modern kernel]

i think theres not that many points for the judges to give out right

[gleaming sand]

lmao, tee 8 gave just one 5

[civic mauve]

#discord-suggestions message Made an official suggestion for it ^^

[modern kernel]

with so many submissions, makes sense there‘ll be a lot of 0s

[late sequoia]

If it's who I think it is they are a stickler for keeping to Gen 5 style and have mentioned giving 0s if it isn't. And they can give 0-5 points no limit

[gleaming sand]

total 0s = 167

[civic mauve]

Oh, I had an idea since some folks were feeling discouraged by this contest

Post your submission and I’ll say something I like about it ^^

[gleaming sand]

total 5s = 85

[modern kernel]

thats about what i expected

[civic mauve]

If you posted it alright, you can do it again and tag me so I see it

[gleaming sand]

oh wait, i didn't get 116th, i got 115th

now i feel much better

[civic mauve]

The tail! It’s a ghost! I never would’ve thought of doing that w/ Froslass but it seems so obvious in hindsight. I also love how you combined the stomach markings w/ the ribbon ^^

[lusty crystal]

Lets go I am very happy now

[gleaming sand]

please don't mention the dithering i'm begging you

[modern kernel]

u got higher than me

[heavy furnace]

The fact that the moment I got in the channel people were complaining about my sprite being spotlighted is really funny to me

[gleaming sand]

oh it's yours?

[lusty crystal]

I really like the way the cloak looks

[gleaming sand]

what was snorunt even fused with lmao

[heavy furnace]

Ye

[civic mauve]

I am also a chronic overditherer to the point I’ve stopped doing it altogether just to be safe ^^;

[heavy furnace]

Ditto

[gleaming sand]

lmao

[gleaming sand]

makes sense
kinda

[gleaming sand]

took ages to make

[civic mauve]

I love the design, adding the patterns to the bow is genius

[gleaming sand]

see, it's sad that i got so low because it took me a long time to get the cloak and the ribbon right

[heavy furnace]

I made an alt with a Ditto bottom but him being an ice cube was funnier

[gleaming sand]

it was

[modern kernel]

#sprite-gallery message

[gleaming sand]

hell yeah

i feel like the average player will like it

so it's fine

[civic mauve]

The long neck combined with the hunched over pose is also fantastic, it gives it a very eerie quality

[gleaming sand]

that was my goal
it's a yo-kai after all

[heavy furnace]

But waking up in the middle of the night seeing I got the spotlight got me so excited

[gleaming sand]

i should have gotten extra points simply because froslass is a yo-kai and i continued that theme

[civic mauve]

I love the way you rendered the crystals!

[random crypt]

i really liked him tbf haha

[versed ridge]

It got a single 5 in a sea of 0s and 1s

It was pretty funny

[gleaming sand]

WAIT IT GOT LOWER THAN MINE?

[modern kernel]

me too

little guy

[heavy furnace]

One of them just put "Why is it cube?" which was great

[gleaming sand]

OH GOD IT DID

HOW

[modern kernel]

yup

[gleaming sand]

just the reference alone was worth 10 points

[random crypt]

why is it cube??

[civic mauve]

The little crystal spikes on the feet are a great way to replicate the stuff on Tyrantrum’s feet too

[heavy furnace]

Water + cold = 🧊

[random crypt]

[modern kernel]

yeah it‘s fine, at least now i have the possibility for the greatest coneback of all time

[random crypt]

anyone putting it down are just kinda being unfair lmao

[versed ridge]

Idt ditto is a liquid

[gleaming sand]

I Don't Think?

[versed ridge]

Yea

[modern kernel]

what do u guys think the next mon will be

[gleaming sand]

Never seen that acronym before lmao

[civic mauve]

And using Glalie’s holes in the same places where Tyrantrum has those rendered scales really ties the two together nicely as well ^^

[heavy furnace]

He's close enough

[gleaming sand]

Hopefully golisopod, meloetta or necrozma

[modern kernel]

rockruff or goodra is my guess

[gleaming sand]

God please not goodra

[modern kernel]

thank youu

why goodra rules

[heavy furnace]

I'm hoping Buzzwole or Spheal

[versed ridge]

You underestimate how much ""art"" goodra has

[modern kernel]

and its popular so the chances are high

[primal iron]

I want the sandcastle guys just so I can make everything out of sand

[gleaming sand]

^^^^

[modern kernel]

every pokemon has that idc

[versed ridge]

Specifically goodra cuz it has a lot of (idk if I can say the word) attributes to it

[gleaming sand]

Nah, specifically goodra

[modern kernel]

as long as people don‘t make sprites like that why would it matter

goodra is awesome

[versed ridge]

Because someone already did

(it's a lopunny ofc)

[gleaming sand]

WAIT WHAT

[civic mauve]

3 slots and all have the same palette. Plus we already have a lot of mons that work for both goo and slime

[modern kernel]

i‘m just saying its probable

[thick harness]

Also another dragon type, we have a lot of those already

[versed ridge]

Goomy is silly though I just don't want "those" to be coming

[modern kernel]

cause its a pseudo and popular

[versed ridge]

It would be like Miltank all over again

[thick harness]

if it does get in though i'd still love it, but preferably not

[gleaming sand]

NOOO IT WAS @hearty vector WHYYYY

[modern kernel]

i want the black lizarf

d

[versed ridge]

Why did you ping him

[modern kernel]

but i don‘t have high hopes

[civic mauve]

To be clear I love Goomy, I just don’t think it adds much to IF

[versed ridge]

If you mean salazzle then Ik you playin

[gleaming sand]

To shame him

Idk

[versed ridge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/641658156790972426/947961658377109574/49C179BD-8901-458C-8377-3427E12FC876.gif

[hearty vector]

What

[modern kernel]

yeah that one i think

hes cool

[gleaming sand]

Lopunny/goodra

[versed ridge]

Fym "he"

[hearty vector]

Yea..

[modern kernel]

they

whatever

it‘s cool

[gleaming sand]

Hell naw

[versed ridge]

Fym "they"

[gleaming sand]

Brother it's always female

[modern kernel]

he she it

[gleaming sand]

It's the whole point of salazzle

[versed ridge]

Salazzle is the reverse harem pokemon for a reason

[modern kernel]

dude idk the newest pokemon game i played is black and white

i just like the design

[versed ridge]

Fair enough ig

[gleaming sand]

Tsareena is cool

[versed ridge]

I hope gen 8 gets support one day I want Hatterene and Eternatus

[gleaming sand]

Not a furry because It's a plant

Lmao

[versed ridge]

Tsareena is just Bayonetta

[gleaming sand]

Oh hatterene would be sick

[versed ridge]

👍

[versed ridge]

Eternarene

[gleaming sand]

Tsareena is literally fruit Chun-li

[civic mauve]

Personally rooting for Dhelmise, Heatmor, Slurpuff, and Aromatisse. Plus Stakataka and Kartana for UBs

[versed ridge]

I still think the vibe fits Fruit Bayonetta more but fair enough

[gleaming sand]

Counterpoint: legs

[versed ridge]

Kartana is my fav UB

👍

[civic mauve]

Also Eelektross tho the 3 slots hurts. I just want to make Lamprey Leech Eel monstrosities

[versed ridge]

That's also Bayonetta's whole deal

[hearty vector]

I like claydol

[civic mauve]

Let’s go origami

[gleaming sand]

Brother bayonetta's a twig compared to chun-li

[gleaming sand]

YES

[civic mauve]

Claydol is great! Love those eyes and the body shape is fantastic as well ^^

[hearty vector]

What is this chat about?

[granite dawn]

GJ everyone, thought I'd do better this contest but hey, had fun either way. I should've used the alt instead

[versed ridge]

If claydol gets in I WILL make Matarael the 9th Angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion

[gleaming sand]

To explode

[gleaming sand]

Oh that fucks

[civic mauve]

Ooh very nicely done w/ just the two colors

[versed ridge]

Sand undertall from Earthbound

[civic mauve]

Well 3 but the shading is 2

[gleaming sand]

Sand under tail

[granite dawn]

And hey, the best thing, a sprite without SFX won, the curse is finally over

[civic mauve]

Finally, we’re free

[gleaming sand]

New pokemon announcement today???

[heady moat]

None of the staff-judged contests have had an SFX sprite win outside of the Sableye one

[civic mauve]

Oh, boosting this in case anyone else wants me to compliment their sprites ^^

[cloud solstice]

the charizard tyrunt has a fire collar that's more like typhlosion's, so it's more dabatable imo

[granite dawn]

It's mostly a joke on the overabundance of SFX

[heady moat]

Fair! The regular contests definitely do love their SFX

[civic mauve]

#discord-suggestions message Also I made a suggestion that might help w/ judged contests w/o causing more work for staff

[versed ridge]

Me who has made 2 FX sprites in their entire career

[versed ridge]

Ping staff

[civic mauve]

Worried that might annoy folks, but if anyone wants to in the suggestion thread I guess we could? Or maybe just whoever manages the result spreadsheets if anyone knows who that is

[crisp cargo]

meh. might as well i guess

[civic mauve]

Ooh it's melting because of the fire. I love the way you did the legs in particular, it's deteriorating in front of our eyes

[civic mauve]

It looks really stoic despite that tho, which makes for a nice contrast ^^

[civic mauve]

I never would've thought these two pokemon would work together but when you combine Flareon's scruffyness w/ Glalie's holes it actually all comes together in a really nice way ^^

[versed ridge]

I didn't make any sprite so I have nothing to post for this

[civic mauve]

I'm up for doing this every contest if it inspires you to make one for the next one ^^

[versed ridge]

If the next one is one of my top picks maybe

[civic mauve]

Looking forward to seeing it if it is ^^

[civic mauve]

Any one else want me to compliment their sprites?

[civic mauve]

Just while we wait for the next mon to drop ^^

[thick shadow]

Wow. ok judges.
Congratz to the winners

[modern kernel]

I just looked through some of ur sprites, so sick

I love the salamence robot dragon

[crisp cargo]

wah thank you... 😭 honestly i'm still like. a bit bummed about low score but i think i just need to focus on my own silly sprites without thinking about going into contests

[thick shadow]

Maybe i shouldn't put as much effort, wish i got feedback on my entry

[versed ridge]

🥹👍

[civic mauve]

Which one was yours?

[thick shadow]

Sableye/Glalie

[civic mauve]

Would you mind posting it so I could take a look?

[civic mauve]

Ooh! I love the gem shading, having the giant crystal in the mouth is super creative too since it ties into both mon's theming ^^

[thick shadow]

Thanks!

Whatever is wrong enough for it to get a 0, it wasn't said in my spritework thread.

[civic mauve]

Plus I'm glad to see Mega Glalie getting some love, I feel like folks forget about it but you can do some neat things w/ it ^^

[lusty crystal]

big gem

[lusty crystal]

It was from Tee 6

[thick shadow]

Either the spritework thread didn't cover everything i had to change, or the judges are.. subpar

[civic mauve]

I see a place where it looks a bit blurry which I lost points for

[thick harness]

The zero might be for overshading/not fitting the gen 5 artstyle, Blaquaza's said they give zero's to sprites they deem "too good" lol (not a dig, I am in favour of encouraging the gen 5 style)

[civic mauve]

I loved this one btw. Shame about all the half pixels, I think it would've done pretty well otherwise

[lusty crystal]

I feel like that one was made by a fusion generator then submitted as a joke

[thick shadow]

Maybe critical thinking isn't a requirement for judgement

[lusty crystal]

Nvm this is wha happens with fuson generator

[thick harness]

? What do you mean by that

[civic mauve]

Here's the stuff I saw, it's not too bad but it might've lost you a few points and the rest was probably due to overshading which I can't help w/ since I do it too ^^;

[thick shadow]

I guess it's a habit since i haven't worked with pixels that much, so i can't bother to limit myself

[viscid helm]

i mean tyrunt has a spiky collar, i don't see how making it fire is sfx

[civic mauve]

I still think a contest-spritework channel would be good for feedback since it'd let you go through all the contest entries quickly and point out any issues you saw before the deadline. It might also increase the odds of a judge seeing it and letting you know if you screwed up somehow so you have a chance to fix it before the contest

[thick shadow]

I think technical mistakes are fine for judges to point out, only design stuff not.

[civic mauve]

Rn I feel like getting a judge in feedback probably helps your chances of doing well in a contest, particularly for those of us who aren't as good at matching the B/W style

[thick shadow]

I think i'd rather have fun than be massacred by ratings, tbh.
Staying out for a while

Or at least until the judged contests end

[civic mauve]

It might also be nice if there was a list of people somewhere who'd offer to help w/ different kind of things so if you're struggling w/ something in particular you can reach out to someone who specialized in that kind of thing

[civic mauve]

Like I think I'm pretty good at linework but I always need help w/ simplifying my shading

[viscid helm]

imo it isn't /that/ overshaded to warrant a 0... also big gem/5 is even more unhelpful than a 0. lol

[wary canopy]

The judges cant be in every feedback thread at once either, I really do not think we should be calling them subpar or lacking critical thinking Please don't be rude to others.
Yeah though, a way for more feedback in general would be nice, but that's been a problem for a long time 😔 just too many spriters, and not enough feedback givers. And like, I personally never mind getting @ ed esp for cloth and stuff but I do also know Im not very good at feedback so eehh

[limber venture]

all the judges should DIE

[civic mauve]

#discord-suggestions message I actually made a suggestion that could help w/ this

[limber venture]

if they REALLY CARED theyd give us all 5s

[sturdy mulch]

That’s like giving us all 0s, no one wins and no one loses

[civic mauve]

I'm bad at cloth so that'd actually be super useful since I keep making fusions w/ tons of it for some reason ^^;

[viscid helm]

maybe adding the individual scores was a mistake even though ppl asked for it lol

[wary canopy]

if you ever need help with it, feel free to let me know then! its literally my favorite thing to do haha i love making clothes and flowy shapes

[thick shadow]

I suggest we kill every one, one by one, and after every murder let the living ones judge how well executed the death was.

[limber venture]

i agree

[gleaming sand]

too much dithering

[lusty crystal]

D I T H E R I N G

[thick shadow]

The blood splatter is too much sfx.

[half rapids]

I think you might be onto something because I suck with linework but I’ve got shading down. This might be worth making a discord suggestion for

[civic mauve]

I think it'd be super useful, but I have no idea how to actually implement a system for this

[civic mauve]

In the meantime tho, feel free to tag me if you ever feel like you're struggling w/ linework ^^

[half rapids]

Aw thx same goes for you and shading!

I cannot do lines right, like at all ngl

This is also why in the game industry they have specialists for very specific parts of art

[civic mauve]

Hm, best thing I can think of is something like a bunch of team threads, maybe named things like line-help, shade-help, style-help, etc

[half rapids]

Yeah actually that sounds like the best way to handle it

[modern vapor]

Lineart something I find kind awkward to do at times

[gleaming sand]

I struggle with meeting my own expectations

[civic mauve]

#discord-suggestions message Made a suggestion for it ^^

[modern vapor]

Same

[civic mauve]

But yeah, in the meantime if anyone's ever struggling w/ their lines feel free to tag me ^^

[modern vapor]

Would ask, but currently waiting for ideas for something to try and do

[late relic]

im stuck in a rut

[crystal hill]

well that sucks

[strange lichen]

genuinely loved this sprite and thought it would do well so idk if this is a meme or I'm missing something big here

[lusty crystal]

No you aren't missing anything at all

[strange lichen]

OH

i didn't' look at it up close

lol

damn sadge

[sturdy mulch]

I’m pretty sure it’s too big and have some half-pixels.

[strange lichen]

yea i realized that just now

[civic mauve]

It has a ridiculous number of half pixels

[strange lichen]

sad because the design is amazing

[sturdy mulch]

It’s cute

[strange lichen]

im happy i did a lot better than last time on this contest

I think I'm starting to understand what makes a good spite! 😄

[plush vale]

spiteful I see

[strange lichen]

so tru

[modern kernel]

spriteful

am i right

[slow gyro]

New Mon when?

[plush vale]

when kiwi awakes

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-hogator-fuecoco-anipoke-pokemon-horizons-gif-8070615019294347196

[rough talon]

after seeing all the responses to getting a "bad" score (aka a 0) i kind of agree

[gleaming sand]

Based on past announcements

Probably 2-3 hours

[rough talon]

i hope people learn like i have not to take this stuff as seriously

[late sequoia]

Yeah, specially since the scores are opinion based

[misty acorn]

True, which is why neither of you should be offended by the fact that I think you are 0/10 lowest of the low scumbag humans

[strange lichen]

I really appreciate seeing it. I think it is always a little hurtful to have critiques but it's not like in art school where they have everyone do it in front of everyone

You just have to remember that you are not your art

[plush vale]

as long as ya didn't get any -1's

[modern kernel]

today i hope

[rough talon]

yeah, its just annoying to see people be rude or otherwise to the staff

[plush vale]

kiwi said she'd do it when she woke up

[rough talon]

also yes its today as its a saturday

[plush vale]

tbf trends are indicative not proof

[acoustic saddle]

well people dont like to be judged but still judge others, thats just human nature

[civic mauve]

I think the hardest part is just not knowing what you did wrong, which is why I think including a section for staff to leave short comments could be good since they can just say stuff like "too much dithering" or "overshaded" w/o having to individually give feedback on every submission. I made a suggestion for it if folks want to vote for/against it btw ^^ #discord-suggestions message

[strange lichen]

The individual scores you can kind of see what is wrong anyway by following trends

[acoustic saddle]

i think thats would be great for improvement, thou, i wonder if it would take extra time due to entry number

[modern kernel]

i don‘t think thats necessary

[cloud pulsar]

how dare the staff members judge my entry in a judge contest

[cloud pulsar]

do it in the suggestion

[modern kernel]

the feedback u get from spritework should be enough

just delays the results

[acoustic saddle]

i think they just want more than a score, just a number wont show you what part you are great, what need to change & improve

[strange lichen]

it's unforunately not always enough without being really persistant. But I agree that I don't think it's needed for staff to put in more than they already do. It's a kindness they talk about it in general

[civic mauve]

It would be completely optional, so it'd just be a way to include those comments like "5 my favorite" w/o affecting the total

[steel vortex]

Biggest issue is like 7+ staff members having to make a comment on like 200 sprites

[strange lichen]

A tag called "roast me" would be a bit fun because then people would know you are totally open to blunt harsh critique and nitpicks

[steel vortex]

Oh gosh no xD

[strange lichen]

sometimes telling people to roast me is the only way to get good feedback because people are super nice

[modern kernel]

isn‘t that what the spritework channel is pretty much lol

[strange lichen]

and even I can get defensive

[acoustic saddle]

i think if they would give commentary instead of score, :,v it would be 0 in this current result lol

[modern kernel]

i wouldn‘t post there if i didn‘t want people to nitpick every little thing

[strange lichen]

depending on time of day you just don't get enough feedback

[civic mauve]

They wouldn't have to leave any comments, and it wouldn't be every judge responding, probably only 1 or 2 at most for any given entry

[modern kernel]

true

i get more feedback when theres less people online for some reason

[steel vortex]

Um hold up

[modern kernel]

when theres 100k i get nothing and when theres like 60k i get a lot

[acoustic saddle]

well, its the helplz commad, but again not like they would comment after either

[civic mauve]

Speaking of which, here's my suggestion for helping with this #discord-suggestions message

[strange lichen]

this is inspiring me to go and give more feedback

[acoustic saddle]

i think from a score of 0 1 2, judge would want to give comment why they do not prefer the piece,

[slow gyro]

Tbh I’m kinda happy with my placement, even tho I was hoping for the lil guys to get me higher

[acoustic saddle]

that would help with the "wrong" part atleast

[steel vortex]

I also think there's just a case of different eyes see different things, I got a lot of feedback on my entry, I pleaded for it XD but no one mentioned it needing more black outlines like staff did now
And I didn't consider it either, just stuff that'll always be missed regardless
Though I agree there's things that may be more obvious people miss with feedback or lack of ahahah

[acoustic saddle]

make more lil guys

[slow gyro]

Get a cup/paper towel and send outside if you're scared ofc!

[limpid sphinx]

[slow gyro]

I require assistance

[acoustic saddle]

[limpid sphinx]

Ah figured

[slow gyro]

Im at work, I have non of that

[acoustic saddle]

[steel vortex]

Hmmmmm, scare it away

[limpid sphinx]

[slow gyro]

Also i have a phobia to arthropods and insects

[steel vortex]

Fair

[limpid sphinx]

oh

maybe you can just do like

[late sequoia]

Call IT and say your computer screen is bugging out can they send someone to fix it

[steel vortex]

Get stick, baseball

[acoustic saddle]

just get the nearest paper anh whack it

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/trying-to-blow-bubbles-lol-gif-5375204

It’s escaping

[limpid sphinx]

Lmao that’s a lyric from one of my favorite songs and now I’m listening inside my head

[acoustic saddle]

🗿 best location for assassinate

[limpid sphinx]

XD

[gleaming sand]

Never say goodbye?

[slow gyro]

XD

Revenant - The Warning

[gleaming sand]

Never heard of it

[slow gyro]

Hold up

[rough talon]

kiwi said herself she'd do stuff on saturdays psh

[slow gyro]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4l7Az0gNNvvBiEbSKnFIVp?si=3U9u9hHxRseJiPnYvWaiYg

||The Warning is my favorite band, i freaking love all their songs||

[frozen dagger]

Is there a context schedule or pattern to when they happen?

[steel vortex]

Very loose, they **try ** to start them once the new Pokemon is revealed

[slow gyro]

Lmao I reacted 🧡 and it got deleted

They asked me for my favorite color and then got rejected

[limpid sphinx]

Team Purple

[slow gyro]

||I really hope Kiwi isn’t just trolling us and the Mon ends up being Bruxish whichever color wins||

[subtle moss]

you need a clarification scheduled? :p

[thick harness]

If the colours are a hint that it's Oricorio then i'm very surprised, thought that was out of the question because of it's different forms

if it's a troll then it's hilarious

[slow gyro]

Lmao Oricorio isn’t getting in, who would ever vote for it?

[limpid sphinx]

||its literal bruxish pallete ||

[slow gyro]

||Yea that’s why I’m saying it||

[subtle moss]

could be another dev choice like Sableye. (it was sableye right?)

[limpid sphinx]

||im scared||

[slow gyro]

I just don’t want that ugly fish in my game

[steel vortex]

Erm #pif-hoenn-discussion 🤓 /j

[thick harness]

Well it could be worse than Oricorio... it could be the Tapu's

[slow gyro]

We’re not discussing about votes, just giving opinions and speculating about which would be the next contest

[limpid sphinx]

well oricorio released

[steel vortex]

Hmmmmm idk @/staffplsban

[gleaming sand]

Oh my god It's Oricorio

[eager raven]

||This is just making me realize how many pokemon/sets of pokemon have something to do with pink yellow purple and red specifically||

[gleaming sand]

How the fuck did it win lmao

[limpid sphinx]

just oricorio i guess XD its funny

[limpid sphinx]

nobody knows

[gleaming sand]

OH WAIT

IT COULD BE THE TAPUS

[limpid sphinx]

tell me

OOOOOOOOOOH

[gleaming sand]

would be a lot better ngl

The colors are identical

[fleet obsidian]

Y’all is it oricorio?

Wait tapu fits more tbh

[slow gyro]

I would still hate the tapus

[eager raven]

Im biased as hell because I like birds but

[late sequoia]

Could also be Minior

[viscid helm]

i would rather have oricorio than the tapus

[slow gyro]

I just hope every heart is a different Mon, maybe the typings

[limpid sphinx]

yea between tapus and oricorio i prefer oricorio lmao

[gleaming sand]

They chose 4 reactions to slow us down even more

[thick harness]

If it's the Tapu's, oh boy four legendaries with similar body types...

[gleaming sand]

REACT WITH PURPLE

[civic mauve]

I hope it's Oricorio since it'd be less slots and the outfits could be fun to work w/

[gleaming sand]

It's the closest

I hope, whatever it is, It's a staff pick

Because 4 slots are A LOT

[civic mauve]

It'd be a nice alternative to Leavanny for the fashion potential

[fleet obsidian]

How would we go about fusing ori

[slow gyro]

Pink = Fairy Type
Red = Fire Type
Yellow = Electric Type
Purple = Poisson Type
And whichever color wins we’ll get a different Mon

[fleet obsidian]

Yeah even as a Leavanny fan you right

Ooh wait true lmao

[gleaming sand]

Doubt it tbh

[limpid sphinx]

na

[fleet obsidian]

Bro I’m scared for this mon

[gleaming sand]

Makes sense but i still think it's either tapus or CRINGE BIRD EW

[limpid sphinx]

the colors looks like really chosed

[fleet obsidian]

Kinda doubt another poison gets in cause we alt got scoli

[slow gyro]

Hope it’s neither

[fleet obsidian]

Ori could be cool though some interesting potential

[limpid sphinx]

why cringe bro its just a dancer bird

[gleaming sand]

I don't like it

Actually, i wouldn't use the tapus either

[fleet obsidian]

The dancing vibe is also kinda cool

[delicate crypt]

Oh my God Oricorio is one of my favs PLEASE let it be the birbs

[gleaming sand]

I guess Oricorio does give more opportunities than the tapus lmao

I changed my mind

[fleet obsidian]

Votes aren’t moving very fast L so

[limpid sphinx]

yea the dancing vibe can be cool af

[fleet obsidian]

Also only for 1 slot

[gleaming sand]

Votes are slow as fuck

Oricorio is cool; plus there's so much potential for the heads - if it's them the contest will be gorgeous (see we're still talking about contests)

[fleet obsidian]

Oricorio has lots of opportunities

Yeah maybe like different Pokémon can use different oricorio for a head

[slow gyro]

I mean, if everyone is speculating the Tapus, Oricorio or Bruxish, no one would want to react lol

[gleaming sand]

Just react with all 4 colors

[delicate crypt]

All the types of dancing people could make? It'd be fantastic!

[fleet obsidian]

Or we just stick to the purple one

[gleaming sand]

I reacted with all of them

[fleet obsidian]

Yeah fusions could just be dancing themed

And also oricorio body could be kinda dope

[limpid sphinx]

team purple lets go

[limpid sphinx]

im just imagining like

[gleaming sand]

Nah there is no way it's bruxish

Please no

[limpid sphinx]

the legendaries birds with oricorios head

[steel vortex]

Purble

[limpid sphinx]

like legendaries dancing birds

biggie

[eager raven]

Oricorio fusions where instead of dancing styles its ...pokemon dancing styles?

[slow gyro]

Hope it’s not, but that’s literally the color palette plus light blue I believe

[gleaming sand]

15% of the way for purple

[steel vortex]

Bruxish has blue though

[limpid sphinx]

bruxish dont have red

[gleaming sand]

Come on, we gotta go faster

[steel vortex]

Not red

[slow gyro]

Aren’t the lips red?

[steel vortex]

Pink

[slow gyro]

Oh

[gleaming sand]

They would have put all the colors i think

[limpid sphinx]

pinky

[steel vortex]

The ugly

[delicate crypt]

Gotta wonder why they made 1000 the target tho 😭

[fleet obsidian]

Y’all gotta recruit mfs to react bro

[limpid sphinx]

can you guys imagine a bruxish/gyarados fusion

lol

[slow gyro]

I still wouldn’t want either Tapus or Oricorio

[fleet obsidian]

Prob so we speculate too much

[civic mauve]

Plus it gives us more ways to add outfits from different parts of the world so it even helps w/ some of the same things as Ludicolo and Mienshao

[gleaming sand]

Yeah it's way too many

[fleet obsidian]

Ooh wait oricorio with Snorunt like could be interesting

[delicate crypt]

What will they do if we never get to 1000 huh

[gleaming sand]

4 different reacts is wild

[fleet obsidian]

If we play it right oricorio is cool

[slow gyro]

Or not
Or nothing

[steel vortex]

They'll reach 1k trust me

[gleaming sand]

Everyone i carefully pondering which one they like most depending on if it's tapus or Oricorio

JUST REACT TO ALL

[steel vortex]

lol

[slow gyro]

If the main speculation is Oricorio or Tapus I doubt it

[delicate crypt]

I do like the tapus as well, minus the bull one lmao

[gleaming sand]

It will get to 1000 but slowly

Very slowly

[slow gyro]

I voted purple cause if my theory is correct, purple might be Toxicroak

[steel vortex]

I mean I'll give it 3 days easy, up to a week, the masses like clickign things without thought

[limpid sphinx]

a dream

[gleaming sand]

180/1000

[limpid sphinx]

but hell toxicroak should be so cool

[gleaming sand]

Bro, past ones took a couple hours

Not three goddamn days

[steel vortex]

Exactly, although people we're more excited cause it was a fossil or ice mon
So I expect it to be slower this time hence the 3 days, but it wil happen

Hey maybe just 1

[slow gyro]

Now imagine that lil dancing bird got in but cool fighting poisonous frog didn’t

[lusty crystal]

Time to get ready to make Oricorio - Bee Island Form

[gleaming sand]

They should lower it to 500

[limpid sphinx]

F

[steel vortex]

Nah, too easy
I think staff want a second to prepare at least once XD

They said we did the fossil one surprisingly fast

[undone crag]

Man no matter if it's Tapus or the birds propagandists are suffering cause no one has said a word about either all month besides if it would take 4 slots

[gleaming sand]

The problem is there are 4 different reacts

[steel vortex]

React 4 times

[gleaming sand]

Which slows everything down

[gleaming sand]

THATS WHAT I'M SAYING

[steel vortex]

But true, maybe 700

[gleaming sand]

no one's doing it tho

[delicate crypt]

Yeah I ain't clicking all those

Ya'll get purple from me and thats it

[gleaming sand]

💀

[steel vortex]

Ran out of clicking energy smh

[slow gyro]

Hold up

What if

[fleet obsidian]

Almost 20% lol

[slow gyro]

It’s florges

[gleaming sand]

200

[steel vortex]

Ok, max 2 days

[civic mauve]

NGL, I'm legitimitely hyped for it to be Oricorio. I think it could be fun to design outfits

[gleaming sand]

Oh hell naw

[slow gyro]

No wait, forget it

[steel vortex]

White, red, blue, yellow

xD

[delicate crypt]

Florges has different colours- yeah

[slow gyro]

Red, yellow, blue, orange and white

[gleaming sand]

What if it's actually necrozma

[sturdy mulch]

I hope it's staff pick

[civic mauve]

Plus 4 different palettes for head fusions ^^

[undone crag]

I'd prefer it

[steel vortex]

Forgot orange, but that's also not a vote colour

[eager raven]

What if the real pokemon was the friends we made along the way

[civic mauve]

What color are Necrozma's lights?

[delicate crypt]

Oh man if Necrozma got it we'd just get the same prism based theme over and over

[undone crag]

I mean I don't think I'll ever be TOO upset about staff picks so long as they don't take slots.

[delicate crypt]

It'd get stale imo

[fleet obsidian]

Ion think I could make oricorio outfits

[gleaming sand]

All 7 of the rainbow

[steel vortex]

I think it's a fun entry all things considered :D

[fleet obsidian]

I don’t have the creativity bro

Yeah we could use every colour scheme based on if it fits or not

[civic mauve]

Then do head sprites and dress other mons up in Oricorio's base outfits ^^

Make random Pokémon cheerleaders or flamenco dancers

[gleaming sand]

That's actually interesting

You convinced me

[rough talon]

if oricorio gets in ill be so happy

[gleaming sand]

I just realized i don't know what enticing means

[rough talon]

im a big bird fan and oricorio is an awesome line

[fleet obsidian]

Wait that would be cute

[gleaming sand]

Certified English as a second language moment

[gleaming sand]

That ain't no line, it's a point

💀

[slow gyro]

Big cheerleader dinosaur

[heady moat]

Oricorio would actually be rad

[civic mauve]

YES

[slow gyro]

You won’t convince me that Oricorio would be a great addition

[heady moat]

Four unique designs for one slot

[civic mauve]

I want a Machamp in a cheerleader outfit stat

[misty acorn]

That would be sick

[slow gyro]

No it won’t

[gleaming sand]

60, 87, 122, 240

[fleet obsidian]

Oricorio could be value though

[rough talon]

SNIFFLES. you know what i mean

[gleaming sand]

I do

[delicate crypt]

Did they say Pokemon with multiple forms count for one slot? I must've missed it

[slow gyro]

It might be a good flying type head, if both parts are flying type

[gleaming sand]

They do

Road to one thousand baby

[slow gyro]

But 98 SpA, 70 SpD and 93 Sp

[gleaming sand]

Let's do this quickly

1/4 of the way

[delicate crypt]

Feeling like a long ass road :p

[civic mauve]

I want a Machamp in a Cheerleader outfit, a Slowbro Flamenco dancer, and Hula dancing Gyarados. How that last one will work I have no idea but I still want to see it

[delicate crypt]

Something something ballroom dancing

[civic mauve]

Gardevoir/Oricorio could be good for that

[misty acorn]

I wonder how they would implement oricorio

I could imagine each form getting its own dex number and there being an item that allows you to swap between them

idk how fusions would be implemented otherwise

unless we only get the oricirio that gets to 1k first and no form change mechanic at all

[delicate crypt]

I know exactly what I'm doing for the inevitable contest if it is Oricorio then

[misty acorn]

(in which case I'd want the fire one to win)

[civic mauve]

Probably the last, but fusions can use any form

[delicate crypt]

Oh man if we only got one it'd be a bummer, but sensu and baile styles are my favs anyways :p
