event-general

[lusty crystal]

I'd be fire with ghost

[rough talon]

i know exactly what you mean for gyrados

i could sketch up some concepts now if you want me to dm you those

[eager raven]

Baile style is fire (no pun intended)

[fleet obsidian]

If they have different forms in game that could be hell for spriters

Each sprite needs 4 versions 💀💀💀

[civic mauve]

Ooh I'd love to see them ^^

[civic mauve]

Naw, it just means you choose whichever form you like most for each fusion

[civic mauve]

More popular mons would probably get alts in all the styles tho ^^

[fleet obsidian]

Oh facts

[civic mauve]

So you can choose whether your Gardevoir is a cheerleader or a flamenco dancer

[subtle moss]

Would be logical to base it on the type, so Gardevoir would probably be the blue one.

no wait the pink one was psychic

so Pa'u Gardevoir

[thick harness]

Yeah, choosing the different heads would be neat - although the typings associated with each probably wouldn't be transferred over

[plush vale]

huh didnt see that mon coming, at least it's 1 slot

[thick harness]

so if the head fusions are the non-flying typing, it might be a bit strange to have a yellow-head fusion that's actually psychic type lol

[plush vale]

welp is what it is, the hearts could decide the included form but purples winningby a wide margin

[delicate crypt]

Red = Baile
Yellow = Pom-pom
Purple = Sensu
Pink = Pa'u
For reference :p

[thorny saddle]

huh im surprised they got enough votes to get a slot

unless theyre secretly the tapu

[thick harness]

I mean I don't think they got enough votes to be like, top 20, but since the votes were more just a rough guide maybe Frogman just really likes Oricorio lol

[delicate crypt]

If its staff picked I don't think votes matter in this do they?
Tbh I don't know how all of this works anymore 💦

[thorny saddle]

true

[plush vale]

maybe a lotta people voted em cause 4 forms 1 slot

still expected other stuff to be more popular

[limpid sphinx]

not really lol

[undone crag]

Staff Pick or hearts being bait is how I'm rationalizing this rn let me live in copum lol

[fleet obsidian]

Lmaoooo

[limpid sphinx]

oricorio/charizard?

[plush vale]

charizard is always fire

[gleaming sand]

444/1000

Almost halfway

[limpid sphinx]

on monday we can reach the 1000

[gleaming sand]

Oh hell no

[civic mauve]

Gonna grab lunch real quick. Might start brainstorming Oricorio fusions for the contest tho ^^

[misty acorn]

I already have an idea but I'm struggeling to turn it into a concept art

Gotta be fast tho because I'll leave for a vacation on monday 🏃‍♂️

[limpid sphinx]

tbh im just finishing a oricorio fusion lol xd

[fleet obsidian]

Ima have to hop on this contest if I get any big brain ideas

Idk why but I feel like most my ideas are for the yellow one

[civic mauve]

Thinking of making my Cheerleading Machamp a reality for this next contest lol

[rough talon]

im literally drawing up a concept for that rn lmao

[cedar quest]

Oh btw on a quick aside

I was asked to push the Little Cup polls to tomorrow, in favour of today's mon reveal

[rough talon]

huh okay

[thick harness]

If we've waited this long for LC, we can wait an extra day

[rough talon]

i just realized

machamp has a SNATCHED waist

[civic mauve]

Great minds think alike ^^

[rough talon]

well, it was because of your message! but also i get what you mean regardless LOL

[lusty crystal]

Ykw screw beedrill I'm gonna copy everyone else and do machamp as I just had an idea for it

[slow gyro]

@tall moss if we add the four heart reactions we pass 1000, is this enough?

[acoustic saddle]

dont lose hope

[tall moss]

nice try

[rough talon]

kiwi are we actually gonna have to vote to one thousand

🥲

[acoustic saddle]

3rd stage: bargaining

[plucky arch]

good

[slow gyro]

||Im just hopping is not Oricorio, so I just want this to be over||

[undone crag]

Tryna move onto acceptance for "my month might have been a waste" grief 😎

[rough talon]

i dont understand wanting tapus over oricorio

they're so functionally similar and not very distinct

they're cool. but like.

[slow gyro]

I don’t want the Tapus either

[rough talon]

just was reminded

[slow gyro]

I hope each color it’s a different Mon

[rough talon]

i mean

thats

well.

i mean

what four pokemon could it even be?

also that'd be a major troll

i dont really like that idea

[acoustic saddle]

one is a squid, one is a bird of paradise, one is a naward, one is a bull, :,v very distinguish

[slow gyro]

I was thinking that each color means a typing of one of the mons that are going to be added

[lusty crystal]

I have an idea make a couple hundrend alts and react with them that should be good 👍

[rough talon]

LMFAOFOA

[undone crag]

Gastrodon = pink copium

[rough talon]

mods looking away for one second then looking back to see thenudgyhampter543 join the server as well as the other 542 alt accounts
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/567473002472669229/1143018623439470702/Tumblr_l_1437194508690586.gif

[plush vale]

we only have one nudgy on this server

[lusty crystal]

Actually I have my alt on but cba to do the phone number thing

[limpid sphinx]

you need to accept bro

||the sooner acceptance comes, the less time the mourning lasts||

[plush vale]

why would they pick this color combo then and thats not how the reveals work, I didn't want em either but this be cope

[fleet obsidian]

Damn we only got 60% the reacts

[plush vale]

a cruel game that divides the reacts to slow us

yet are we to unite behind leader w erisk falling into a trap

[rough talon]

Not for long

[civic mauve]

You made cool slugs? How is that a waste?

[plush vale]

plupa bout to make it 0

[undone crag]

Fair just hope I can use em

[fading lodge]

My sproot got judged harshly. Judges no likey.

[lusty crystal]

Almost 66% there

[random crypt]

hella coping

[plush vale]

no need for ping

[lusty crystal]

ok

[gleaming sand]

730/1000

We gon get it today fellas

[random crypt]

it's default when you reply to someone but ok 😭

mb i guess??

[plush vale]

and it's courtesy to turn it off

[lusty crystal]

O yeah forgot about the super votes

[random crypt]

you're literally the first person i've had say that

[plush vale]

default really should be adjustale at least though

[plush vale]

those don't count

[gleaming sand]

Brother, it's a you problem

[random crypt]

i mean in future i won't ping but x:

[gleaming sand]

My discord version is so old they don't even exist yet

[lusty crystal]

We need 3 more votes

[modern kernel]

naaaaahhh man does the announcement mean its oricorio

[gleaming sand]

Either that or the tapus

[modern kernel]

not the yassified bird pls

kapus would be a little better

[lusty crystal]

We win

[modern kernel]

i think its the kapus tbh

the one oricorio version isnt really purple

[random crypt]

i'd love tapus

[modern kernel]

is it tapus

in german theyre called kapu something

i think

[random crypt]

goddamn

deutsch be wildin

wouldn't be surprised

[modern kernel]

kapu riki

[lusty crystal]

@tall moss so we get green form right?

[random crypt]

but ye in english they're tapu

[limpid sphinx]

damn please god the tapus no

[modern kernel]

why did they change one letter

[random crypt]

it's either that or oricorio lmao

[modern kernel]

does tapu mean something

[random crypt]

don't think so??

[lusty crystal]

I think either would be interesting

[whole apex]

bets on when we hit 1000? my guess: purple in the next 2 hours

[modern kernel]

it does just looked it up

[primal iron]

I'm not a fan of either the Tapu or Oricorio on their own, but as a spriter i feel like they have some nice potential

[modern kernel]

polynesian concept of something holy i guess

and in hawaiian its kapu

[random crypt]

ahh

[lusty crystal]

With this amount of progress I think in just over an hour

[whole apex]

saurrrr pokémon reveal by 4pm est, contest reveal by 5pm est

[limpid sphinx]

i dont think so

[whole apex]

i kid mods pls don’t feel pressured

[limpid sphinx]

tapu looks like trash to me tbh

oricorio can be like a bit cool

[rough talon]

tapus are aboslutely going to be sfx overload if they get in

which is why i dont want them

[limpid sphinx]

the problem with tapus is cuz like

to do something that is like a bit nice with that ones you probably need to be skilled af

[modern kernel]

i think tapus have more potential

[civic mauve]

Tapus are also 4 slots while Oricorio’s just the 1

[modern kernel]

not really

[rough talon]

i...heavily disagree.

[modern kernel]

tapu head shellder body is free

[ashen sapphire]

This is why I hope it's Oricorio.

Also, Oricorio's signature move would be super fun with IF mechanics actually.

[rough talon]

also, dmed this to pix as its their original concpet but . teehee

[steel vortex]

Ok so we're getting this today ahahaha

[limpid sphinx]

yea ofc can exists like 10 good options lol but its a bit hard

[undone crag]

Same, tho real hope is it's somehow bait lmao

[modern kernel]

wouldn‘t it also be 4?

[limpid sphinx]

yes haha

[modern kernel]

if its different forms or whatever

[civic mauve]

Nope just one Dex slot. Same as Rotom

[limpid sphinx]

different forms =/= different mons

i guess

[modern kernel]

oh okay

yeah honestly oricorio is better then

[civic mauve]

We’re voting for which form is the base sprite in game

[modern kernel]

both are kinda ass

[ashen sapphire]

Revelation Dance takes on whatever the user's first type is, that'd offer some really cool shenanigans

[limpid sphinx]

genius

hell

damn pix its a good guess

fr

[modern kernel]

oh nooo

might be right

[limpid sphinx]

fr

[ashen sapphire]

That was my assumption too

[civic mauve]

I wasn’t the first to notice ^^;

[limpid sphinx]

oh

xd

[modern kernel]

actually the purple one is probably the best of them

that or the yellow

[limpid sphinx]

im excited to see what you can cook with a dancer bird bro

😄

[rough talon]

i love red :(

[civic mauve]

But yeah, once someone mentioned that it was the nectar colors it clicked ^^

[ashen sapphire]

Red is the most iconic looking but the purple is my personal fave

[rough talon]

regardless i love this design lmao

[civic mauve]

So many cheerleaders and flamenco dancers

[limpid sphinx]

i agree fr

[rough talon]

i made the pants look like ripped shorts a bit

[limpid sphinx]

red is like most common when i think about that mon

[rough talon]

(like jean shorts)

[limpid sphinx]

yesss

and colored birds!!

'o'

[modern kernel]

i hope the announcement post was just a prank and they‘ll add so@ething entirely different lol

[lusty crystal]

Think this is good enough to call a finished sprite

[civic mauve]

Machamp in a cheerleading outfit, Oricorio in a muscle suit, the possibilities are endless ^^

[rough talon]

LMAO

[limpid sphinx]

looks ready to go for me

[civic mauve]

Ngl, I’m planning on making both

[rough talon]

once again i must say

machamp has a snatched waist and its really funny to me

[ashen sapphire]

You can even use fusions to make new "styles" of dancers

[worthy shuttle]

I have no idea what the next Pokémon is

Something to do with those colors

Hmm

[ashen sapphire]

Gardevoir head Oricorio body ballroom waltz form

[civic mauve]

Probably Oricorio

[worthy shuttle]

Furfrou is my first guess

Oh

Damnit

[ashen sapphire]

it's probably oricorio with a small chance of tapus

[civic mauve]

Wedding dress could work too

[worthy shuttle]

Raaaah why not tropiusss

[civic mauve]

Fashion wins over banana I guess

[ashen sapphire]

i'm not ruling out the tapus yet but oricorio seems likelier and I'd also be happier about it

[rough talon]

agreed

also tropius can still get in

its a 1 slot mon, really good choice

[modern kernel]

tropius my beloved

[arctic garnet]

I just want to know what my next espeon is going to be!

[uncut shadow]

What mon you guys think is the next, by the votes its probably going to be a purple one

[crisp cargo]

||Oricorio, 100%||

[arctic garnet]

Liepard!?

[uncut shadow]

What mons are even purple?

[lusty crystal]

Pikachu after eating purple dye

[gleaming sand]

837/1000

Let's do this fellas

[arctic garnet]

Jigglypuff, painted plum

[uncut shadow]

I know who it is

[undone crag]

Yup yes sir time to reveal bruixish I'm ready

[uncut shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/purple-man-dancing-pixels-gif-17422304

[plucky arch]

i just hope were not voting for a type

[uncut shadow]

I hope not, xeno will be sad

[plucky arch]

if we were id like to know cause Favourite Oricorio and Favourite Colour are very different

[civic mauve]

Oricorio Sensu

[misty acorn]

We're voting for who is gonna be the main I imagine

Maybe they'll make oricorio always give flying type and just have the fusion decide the other type

[uncut shadow]

Ohhhh cus the colours

I didn't even think of it

[plucky arch]

oh thatd be cool

[uncut shadow]

Its the 4 colours of oricorios forms

[stiff valley]

inb4 it acts like triple fusion and has 4 types + flying

[whole apex]

so oricorio body fusions could be like different dance styles maybe?

[plucky arch]

mael welcome back to the land of the living

[stiff valley]

you say that but im leaving seeya

vanishes

[plucky arch]

shame

[misty acorn]

[plush vale]

https://tenor.com/view/nileseyy-niles-peace-out-disappear-meme-disappearing-guy-checking-out-gif-25558985

[plucky arch]

mael saw LC polls were working again and booked it

[stiff valley]

for real tho my name might no longer be yellow soon
emphasis on might

[misty acorn]

Dancer + Revelation Dance are cool aditions tho, sad that there aren't a ton of double battles in the game that could make use ofi t

[whole apex]

wait

[plucky arch]

will it be orange

[whole apex]

what if they’re minior colors

[plucky arch]

id cry in a good way

[whole apex]

aren’t those all the colors of minior too???

[stiff valley]

lol

minior has like 5 or 6 colors

not just 4

[plucky arch]

its a Trick

[whole apex]

welp my theory was debunked thanks mael

[plucky arch]

theyre luring us into oricorio and tapus and its actually Minior

[stiff valley]

and none matter, if minior ever gets into the game it's probably gonna be the pink one

[plucky arch]

let me Believe

[whole apex]

or or use the shiny as it’s original so we can have all the colors

[stiff valley]

anyway brb gonna make a custom for each oricorio-

(no im not doing that)

[gleaming sand]

135 left

[rough talon]

ouuugh rest in peace... i understand though

honestly just do whatsbest for you

i understand heavily due to the new sprite managers that are about to come in

[stiff valley]

i guess i'll stay yellow lol

[rough talon]

LOL

okay nvm

WERE YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION YOU HAD TO WORK YOUR ASS OFF FOR FREE...

i had something similar happen to me 😭

[stiff valley]

no it's just i've done literally nothing for the last week, and while it's not a big issue by itself I just didn't feel like I would ever do anything anymore

[rough talon]

ahh fair

i did that though... if someone drags me to work on a project for free i assume i must do all of the work and i'll break my back over it even though uh

I dont need to do that!

[plucky arch]

Become Orange

do it

[stiff valley]

watch as i come back to occupy myself because school is boring

[plucky arch]

become orange

join the orange

[stiff valley]

you're alone mate

[rough talon]

lol i have no school (dropout 😔) and my life is so fucking dull sometimes

[lunar comet]

do you think oricorio/oricorio would need 4 different sprites?

[rough talon]

i popped off in artfight because i'd been waiting for it all year and

i ended up making some of the shnastiest (good way) drawings ive ever done

im gonna send my favoritest pieces in artwork as not to be offtopic but

[lusty crystal]

Almost 900

[rough talon]

we have 100 more to go until we get to 900

FHSDJKAF

[rough talon]

#artwork message here they are

i feel like i've sent them before but

MAN am i proud of them

[lusty crystal]

Depends if supers count

[stiff valley]

(they don't)

(i think)

[rough talon]

Yeah they dont

[stiff valley]

(i actually dont know)

[lusty crystal]

Damn

[rough talon]

i heard kiwi said they dont but that might be a

"misremembering" thing

[stiff valley]

yeah because all those 87 could just vote twice

which isn't fair

[strange lichen]

yeah this was what I was worried about

[rough talon]

i gotta say like

[lusty crystal]

No

You can't stack

super and normal reacts

If you do one you can't do the other

[rough talon]

both of these took me a solid week to do

im surprised it was only a week LOL

[civic mauve]

They can still work for alt Oricorios. Or as bases for fusions ^^

[modern kernel]

i still think tapu fusions would be more interesting tbh

[lunar comet]

honestly i could also see double oricorio just being a combo of all 4

could be a bit messy tho

[gleaming sand]

52 LEFT

HELL YEAH

[civic mauve]

Remember it’s the Tapus or Oricorio + 3 other mons

[modern kernel]

true

[modern kernel]

supers don‘t count, i did both a super reaction and a normal one i think

would be weird to count them

[lunar comet]

you can't do a super and a normal of the same emoji

[modern kernel]

no wait

but if i tap the super thing it twlls me i‘m removing it

but i don‘t have discord nitro lol

[rough talon]

i severely doubt im using this for the contest proper, so if you want to use it? feel free

[lunar comet]

we went through this already with tyrunt/tyrantrum

[modern kernel]

oh i see

[lusty crystal]

So does that mean supers do count?

[lunar comet]

they didn't count with tyrunt

there was practically a fucking riot last time

[steady pasture]

Hmm, maybe u should've gone with the pink one

a machamp doing the aloha dance

[rough talon]

i was just going off a concept pix did!

[steady pasture]

2 arms waving as usual, while the other 2 arms posing in... i forgot what the pose was called... dabbing? no... fck..

[rough talon]

this concept is fine psh but i just want to do other stuff if this is actually oricorio

[steady pasture]

tbh the only concepts i can come up with all involve feminine Pokemon...

i might just have to either skip this contest or just be basic and use Gardevoir or something

[rough talon]

i personally LOVE the idea of machamp being a cheerleader

fits prefectly with their four arms and such

[steady pasture]

I would prefer seeing Machamp doing the aloha dance, it has such a distinctive contrast

[rough talon]

i think thats true that its contrastual, but i like the idea of machamp being a cheerleader due to similar themes

[steady pasture]

Something like this

[modern kernel]

thats not the oricorio version thats gonna get in tho

if purple wins

[civic mauve]

Does wrestling have cheerleaders? Because that could work too thematically

[civic mauve]

Doesn’t matter, fusions can use any ^^

[rough talon]

afaik no

[foggy spruce]

I get a feeling that the next contest is Oricorio. how does having 4 different forms even work with a game like this?

[glad sail]

same as deoxys

one form allowed

[foggy spruce]

i suppose that's what thje little mini vote is for, eh?

[rough talon]

weirdly specific but .... krokorok might be REALLY good for a baile oricorio fusion.

[steady pasture]

It's a little unfair if u think abt it. Without context, most ppl would vote for the highest number just to see the mon revealed

[rough talon]

yeah :(

i wanted pom pom really badly

most interesting typing

[glad sail]

also im shocked if oricorio makes it

[foggy spruce]

i like the form of the red one

[glad sail]

looks kind of obv cos vote

[steady pasture]

if we're limited to only 1 form to begin with, then why choose Oricorio

[glad sail]

but like why more bird

[sly gorge]

hey honestly purple oricorio is the best oricorio

[steady pasture]

i'm pretty sure the only reason why ppl would vote for Oricorio is so we have access to all 4 forms for fusions, but if we're limited to one, then it's a pretty wasted slot no?

[shell gale]

Ikr, i very much hope that that isn't the system they are using because its just so massivly flawed

[random crypt]

but you can do the diff forms in fusions

[gleaming sand]

12 left

[random crypt]

just the base sprite will look like 1

[shell gale]

You think

[glad sail]

you can probably use any form u want for custom fusion sprites, they're voting on the base typing and form

[steady pasture]

the type would be fixed to Ghost/Flying though

[random crypt]

not necessarily

[gleaming sand]

And again, they look like this on my end

[foggy spruce]

well, typing is kind of a big thing for a sprite theme

[random crypt]

god knows what they're doing

[lusty crystal]

What shows up on your end is most important

[shell gale]

Your discord seems to have merged supers and regular reacts

Facinating

[gleaming sand]

No, it's just old lmao

They don't exist in this version

[civic mauve]

Fusions can use all of them ^^

[gleaming sand]

Anyways

5 left

[lusty crystal]

This is why your POV is only POV

[steady pasture]

After complaining i couldn't find original concepts, i finally found a concept to work with, and it's a reference.

[gleaming sand]

4 LEFT

[foggy spruce]

right, but the typing will always be the base

[gleaming sand]

If kiwi doesn't count em we riot

[foggy spruce]

so it often wouldn't make sense to use another form

[civic mauve]

It might only count as flying for fusions

[lusty crystal]

^

[foggy spruce]

i suppose if it only counts as flying, then it'll be fine

[gleaming sand]

999

[lusty crystal]

Would make most sense

[rough talon]

104 votes

left.

[steady pasture]

that... would actually be interesting

[gleaming sand]

We got it

Why wouldn't super reacts count

Of course they do

If not, we riot

[random crypt]

they do

she just posted

[gleaming sand]

maybe she meant that we're still at 900

Probably that

[steady pasture]

i should be sleeping now, but i gotta at least know what is the mon before sleeping

[uncut shadow]

We need 100 more

[random crypt]

i'm sure she'd say so LMAO

if that was the case

[steady pasture]

Lest it's not actually Oricorio

[gleaming sand]

She would have posted the reveal otherwise

Lmao she did

It's Oricorio

[shell gale]

I KNEW IT!!!

VINDICATION!!!!!

[random crypt]

aight y'all who said there's no point cause it would be 1 can be satisfied now

[lusty crystal]

That messes up my goal of using all 4 forms in 1 fusion

[rough talon]

HELL YES

[random crypt]

\o/

[rough talon]

oh my god this is the greatest day of my life

[livid tulip]

Lmao, 4 slots for a single Pokémon. And people told that certain starter packs were a waste of slots

[civic mauve]

True ^^;

[civic mauve]

It's another freebie

[gleaming sand]

Holy shit they're coding them separately

[livid tulip]

Thank god

[steady pasture]

4 slots

[gleaming sand]

Can you read

[steady pasture]

that's wild

[civic mauve]

It's 0 slots

[livid tulip]

No, can you be less rude

[gleaming sand]

I called them being a staff pick

[random crypt]

this is once again an EXTRA Pokémon or is it four extra Pokémon? that doesn't count towards the 20 community picks!

[uncut shadow]

No way they gave it 4 dex numbers!

[gleaming sand]

Sorry

[steady pasture]

i don't mean for the 20 picks, i mean they forced frog to use 4 dex numbers lol

[lunar comet]

these don't count tho, staff picks

[uncut shadow]

4 DEX NUMBERS

[random crypt]

let's gooo

[gleaming sand]

I feel like it was a bad idea

[whole apex]

EXTRA POKEMONNNNN

[steady pasture]

it really is

[gleaming sand]

It will just complicate things imo

[steady pasture]

it's a lazy method of dealing with forms

but given the limitations of the engine, i doubt this could've been avoided

[rough talon]

i really want to make something with krokorok and baile style, but im unsure what type of spanish dance to use

[modern kernel]

[uncut shadow]

So like... When contest

[random crypt]

ye i mean they're doing their best

[whole apex]

i dunno why but my first thought was samba

[gleaming sand]

Brother read the whole announcement please

[cloud pulsar]

well shit

is oricorio

[steady pasture]

Well whatever, time to sleep

[civic mauve]

Is free tho ^^

[rough talon]

i mean. i could do exeggcutor and oricorio for that

[uncut shadow]

I was joking lol

[random crypt]

contest results when

[whole apex]

OH

[lunar comet]

i won by a landslide

[late sequoia]

This is gonna be interesting

[rough talon]

im gonna do that now teehee

oh wait

i cant do it until the contest is announced

[half rapids]

This is really awesome actually but how tf do I pick what to fuse there’s way too many options lmao

[lunar comet]

roll a dice

[whole apex]

now the whole server’s going to be camping out for the contest announcement

[half rapids]

Honestly I might lol

[gleaming sand]

Kiwi also said there's goinf to be another announcement

[rough talon]

@plucky arch Sorry for ping but can we do concepts and critique before the contest so long as its after this announcement or will we be hit with a comically large nuke

[civic mauve]

I think concept are is allowed but sprites aren't

But you can make bases that you use for the fusion

[rough talon]

well i want to still like, put my concept through critique but

unsure whats allowed...

[gleaming sand]

I still think giving forms separate dex numbers is a terrible idea

There are already so many sprites using other forms, it will be nightmarish to sort them

[lunar comet]

i mean i'm not sure how naming sprites would work otherwise

letters are already used for alt sprites

[whole apex]

wait i predicted the first half…soooo maybe i’ll be right for the second????

[civic mauve]

I have concerns, but I'll wait to see what happens ^^

[gleaming sand]

They could have left it as it was

[lunar comet]

like... what would you do, 430baile.69.png?

[gleaming sand]

You're free to use any of the forms in your fusion

[gleaming sand]

[misty acorn]

Didn't expect this prediction to be right lol

[fleet obsidian]

High key awesome as fuck

[livid tulip]

Anyways, that's not what I meant. It's been said that the engine limitations won't let all Pokémon to get in the game. But 4 slots were used for the same Pokémon and forms. Not sure about the actual remaining space in the game, but considering the info we had, this feels like if we would get the genies in

[fleet obsidian]

I def gotta hop on this contest now

[gleaming sand]

I would like to remind everybody that Arceus has 18 forms

[livid tulip]

I love Oricorio and I feel this could be great using it as head but not sure about the body potential

[livid tulip]

Arceus only occupies one single slot

[gleaming sand]

Reread the announcement

They said they might do the same thing with already implemented mons

Which in theory includes Arceus

[red vigil]

so, 4 or 1 slot ?

[random crypt]

i'd hope they'd have figured the logistics out /w that now that they realised they can have extra space with better coding(?)

[rough talon]

boom

[stiff valley]

staff yelling at kiwi for making oricorio be 4 pokemon instead of a single 1

/j we're not literally yelling but some of us are very confused lol

[whole apex]

YES IT REMINDS ME OF THE BIRDS FROM RIO

[crisp cargo]

i'm not quite sure i understand myself since revelation dance is just always the primary type either way

but hey cool dancing birb

[livid tulip]

I read that part, but the only thing that changes in Arceus is the type + recolor. I don't feel it a good idea either

[foggy spruce]

i think 4 very similar fellas might really stretch the creativity. i mean i already worry about the eeveelutions

[icy jasper]

I have to ask: is now the time to come up with fusion ideas? Cause I want to right now

[lunar comet]

i mean i have zero knowledge or experience with the code of this game or coding in general, so i'm not going to assume there's a better way of doing this

[stiff valley]

just make oricorio always give flying type when fused, that way there's no issue

it kinda kills creativity to separate them in 4 different Pokémon

[rough talon]

prime time babey!

[lunar comet]

it seems like the 20 slot """limit""" is very much a soft limit given all the extra mons that have been added

[foggy spruce]

then we can have all sorts of dancing birds, makes sense

[rough talon]

(don't tell the contest managers you're making a sprite if you're gonna submit it though )

[cloud pulsar]

they were only allowing the community to add 20

[lunar comet]

you can brainstorm and concept but no actual spriting iirc

[cloud pulsar]

i guess

[rough talon]

basically this if you're doing the contest

[thick harness]

I never expected oricorio, but I'm very happy they're here! I thought the forms meant they weren't feasible but this is a nice way of doing it

[cedar quest]

I mean...it's a lot of data for 1 mon

[icy jasper]

Does that mean it's okay to show off concept art for a fusion?

[lunar comet]

honestly this gives them more fusion potential imo? it means the forms won't have to compete for each individual pokemon

[dreamy tartan]

Hey anyone know if cosmetic form changes count as different slots? Everything is falling apart at voting

[stiff valley]

why compete tho when you can put multiple forms in the same fusion

[dreamy tartan]

Still ambiguos on what counts for that or not

[winter sparrow]

ok i've got my concept planned at least 👍

though it's a reference fusion (not the kind that usually gets alted just the kind that's a really obvious reference)

[dreamy tartan]

Hey how can I ask kiwi a question?

[limpid sphinx]

4 slots

no man

[dreamy tartan]

Everyone is freaking out over that

[winter sparrow]

4 free slots.

[dreamy tartan]

Oh here they are

[strange lichen]

can you? From my interpretation you can't but I'm also stupid

[lunar comet]

like. i'm fine with oricorio being 4 as long as the game still runs okay?? the whole concept of slots is super limiting imo

[stiff valley]

Yeah right now you can't, and that's the problem for me

should've taken 1 slot not 4

[viscid helm]

fr, even if it was free slots.. that could have been a whole evo line instead lol

[dreamy tartan]

Super confusing too

[elder venture]

I don't like the 4-slots thing because like... Yeahh that does limit creativity. If it were one, we could be more linient with what we do with fusions. Even different dance styles than the 4.

[foggy spruce]

i do hope the sprites get cut up to their individual forms. makes it easier for me to sort and use for sprites

[dreamy tartan]

I think Sprite changing works for cosmetic ones, gameplay ones not so much

[livid tulip]

I mean, I would think Oricorio with a different gimmick. Instead of being 330, 331, 332 and 333, that should had do something like 3300, 3301, 3302, 3303, which sounds weird but considering we won't reach 1000 Pokémon here that would mean that the three first numbers are the Pokémon and the second one the form id.

If alts were added like 330.300.alt.png instead of 330.300alt.png the dot would be more useful to define the form of the same Pokémon species (ie. 330a.1.a.png would had been a Oricorio baile/Bulbasaur alt)

[lunar comet]

not really though??? if you want to base a fusion on a new dance style there's nothing stopping you

[foggy spruce]

i'm speaking more for actually spriting

[nimble robin]

It's more than one actually... look at its chin from below.

[elder venture]

Is true. And I just remembered oricorios forms have different types, do I dunno how a combined set would work if they weren't sepperate ^^'

It makes sense now.

I am tired.

[civic mauve]

Yeah, that was my thought on it personally

[crisp cargo]

honestly for me it's not like. a creativity thing, it's a "the mons are basically exactly the same outside typing and appearance"

[gleaming sand]

Yeah it's a really stupid idea

[elder venture]

Actually, that does raise the question of body fusions.

[crisp cargo]

i'm not gonna get all upset over them being separate or one mon either way

[gleaming sand]

I hope the staff changes their mind

[crisp cargo]

flareons get made regardless

[foggy spruce]

i often avoid doing eeveelutions because they all look so similar when you use them as a body

[crisp cargo]

now i'm kinda hoping for ludicolo line for the obvious fusions that will follow lmao

[stiff valley]

there's that too

[dreamy tartan]

Form changing really is a messy bussiness combine with the limited slots

[misty acorn]

Its fine, if we got the tapus or the gen 5 weather trio it would be the same thing

[strange lichen]

i hope we can do 2 for this contest ... too many options to pick from

[foggy spruce]

YES. give me my hat fella

[crisp cargo]

also because lotad is an adorable creacher

[civic mauve]

If forms count as multiple slots it also means a lot of my choices that were 3 are now going to be 0 which is a shame

[misty acorn]

The original assumption we were working on was just that forms didn't exist, like how rotom and deoxys work rn

[gleaming sand]

Which is how it should be

[misty acorn]

?

[gleaming sand]

It's up to the spriter to choose the form

[misty acorn]

Stockholm syndrom at its finest

[gleaming sand]

What

[lunar comet]

not having forms at all is really limiting for a lot of pokemon, both visually and mechanically

i think adding forms is a good thing overall, it's just going to be rough for a while during the transition period

[livid tulip]

So, genies in IF when

[stiff valley]

how so

i don't think people play the game to use busted pokemon but to use good looking fusions
being able to use all forms of a single pokemon makes for good fusion potential

[eager raven]

The difference between rotom/deoxys and oricorio is that rotom and deoxys both have a base form, while oricorio doesn't. Oricorio only has forms, each one a different typing and appearance. I feel like it would make most sense for forms to be a case by case basis based on how different they are from each other/the base form if applicable, and how wanted the other forms are. If anything I just said even makes any sense

[civic mauve]

I think it isn't really an issue visually since most mons are fused, tho I see the point mechanically

[stiff valley]

having a base form doesn't matter for IF, really

[civic mauve]

Especially since alts are a thing

[stiff valley]

just make the fire one base since it seems it's the one GF designated as base, and make fusions give the flying type

[lunar comet]

mechanically speaking alt forms have access to different stats and abilities (sometimes even moves) and visually speaking it allows for greater fusion potential since each individual form can now be combined with stuff

yes it's more restrictive on the spriter's end but it's much more open on the player's end

[misty acorn]

Tell that poor deoxys defense form who has gotten like 3 sprites so far

[stiff valley]

because nobody cares about deoxys defense

[misty acorn]

But yeah no, I don't think rotom having no forms really hurts it in IF, but deoxys for example feels really incomplete

[dreamy tartan]

Thats true, deoxys already has 3 what it should

[livid tulip]

Based GF considering the Baile style is my favourite out of them

[gleaming sand]

Btw, what the fuck did you mean by that

[misty acorn]

I mean that there being no forms in IF originates from technical problems but by now you've become so accustomed to it that you think it is supperior to having forms

[rough talon]

i think i might've cooked

[dreamy tartan]

Stockholm syndrome is that syndrome you develop during kidnapping what does that have to do?

[gleaming sand]

I think it's simpler

[winter sparrow]

why are there only screenshots of [thing I want to reference in my fusion] at night where I can't see it well

[lunar comet]

kind of my point exactly, if you're a fan of a less popular form you're kind of fucked because every spriter ever goes with the cool one instead

[fickle shard]

I DO

[dreamy tartan]

Jus allow Sprite change on the cosmetic, you dont need to have different number with the exact same moveset.

[stiff valley]

if deoxys forms were to be an actual thing deoxys defense wouldn't have a lot of fusion either

[foggy spruce]

i feel like the fusion part of this game might actually help. it's kind of like making your own forms for it

[stiff valley]

it's just more work

for basically nothing

[fickle shard]

I would single handedly carry Deoxys Defense

(every few months i’d make like 1 sprite for it whenever I remember)

[rough talon]

so fucking happy with this design but im holding my tongue on what they are since mael is here

[crisp cargo]

tbf rotom's change is a single type + a unique move that sometimes is completely irrelevant

[gleaming sand]

Exactly

[lunar comet]

yeah but if you wanted to make a deoxdef fusion you could actually do it instead of trying to jam it in sideways next to the other deoxi

[winter sparrow]

man what about like... meowstic

[fickle shard]

Fridge Rotom + Deoxys Defense Fusion when

[crisp cargo]

compared to deoxys who has massive stat changes between forms

[foggy spruce]

actually, running this alot like rotom exept with dance would be a really good idea

[gleaming sand]

Can't wait for them to add every single spinda form

[rough talon]

ommgg mael close your eyes haha i dont wanna fuck up your judging of my fusion 😳 haha dont look omg

^ doesnt say the fusion name regardless

[stiff valley]

"trying to jam it in sideways" why tho

[foggy spruce]

yea, do it like Rotom

[winter sparrow]

well some people are sitting out the oricorio contest so this is my chance
i will win and then get the thing and then get the 🐐

[foggy spruce]

more open-endedness and freedom

[devout hare]

I wonder if you could add a letter to the head part like 430a.123 for forms.Might make custom bases a bit weird, tho

[limpid sphinx]

brazilian on carnival

[livid tulip]

That's what I thought. Changing the alt format separating the alt letter and the head.body number with a ".", so the head and body numbers can have their own alt letter to define the fused form

[devout hare]

The main thing I'm thinking is that the different forms matter much more as the head part than as the body part

[livid tulip]

In this case, yes. In cases like Rotom and Giratina is the opposite

[misty acorn]

yep, same for the eevees, or the geenies

[uncut shadow]

keep in mind it should be facing left before you start spriting

[misty acorn]

or latias and latios 💀

[subtle moss]

I'd like to say that Oricorio being another dev choice is like the first thing I said

[rough talon]

I was actually fishing for this comment so i could figure out which fucking direction it should actually be facing

[subtle moss]

I feel vindicated

[livid tulip]

We making fun of the elemental monkeys to finally get elemental birds

[devout hare]

Better than the monkeys

[civic mauve]

I've made a couple of Deoxys fusions and I think I've always taken parts from different forms. So now I'm wondering what's going to happen to sprites like that if we end up w/ different forms

[limber venture]

why is it four pokemon

[livid tulip]

Same

[lunar comet]

monkies are literally just pallete swaps, birds are actually different designs

[strange lichen]

elemental birds is like an institution in pokemon imo, it's part of the themeing choices they make, like how there are many electric rodents

[subtle moss]

maybe forms are only a thing on non-fused pokémon

[thick jolt]

how are we gonna distinguish between oricorio bodies

[rough talon]

LOL

i have an answer for this

and its just

Ermmm they have different feather shapes and wing types with some of them not really having wings at all

[limber venture]

i mean, they all have pretty different bodies?

[livid tulip]

Wrong. The evolutions are different each other as much as Oricorio forms. The real problem with elemental monkeys besides the fact they are really unpopular is the preevos

[rough talon]

The only ones that could cause confusion are sensu and baile but that's if you're a bad spriter SMH

[thick jolt]

red and purple are similar, admittedly the others are different

[limber venture]

but... learning them all from memory..........

[thick jolt]

but its hard enough to tell bodies with some heads anyway

[limber venture]

will blow

[lunar comet]

they have different stuff on their head and that's it lol. the birds all have completely different markings and accessories

[stiff valley]

The biggest issue with that implementation is that

all bodies will give the flying type

so anything/any oricorio will be the same

whatever oricorio you have

just the sprite will change

same stats same type same movepool same literally everything except the sprite (assuming there is any)

[lunar comet]

would be relatively easy to just have oricorio always give the non-flying type?

[stiff valley]

can't wait to try to fuse with all 4 bodies until i find one with a sprite

[lunar comet]

there's already pokemon that do non-standard contributions

[misty acorn]

https://pokemondb.net/move/revelation-dance

[thick jolt]

yeah but

[civic mauve]

The elemental monkeys give us themes of Grass, Water, and Fire while the birds give us Cheerleader, Flamenco, Hulu, and Fan.

[thick jolt]

it just always gives stab

doesnt change

[crisp cargo]

this seems like a big stretch, the problem has never been the designs

[thick jolt]

in if atleast ^

[misty acorn]

But thats why it always giving flying as the body is a good thing

[crisp cargo]

oricorio forms have bigger differences than the monkeys while being forms

[livid tulip]

The belly shape is different. Simisage has fur pants, Simisear is fat and has white fluffy fur as scarf and Simisear has a long shirt. And the eyes are different too.

Oricorios changes are quite similar: the shape remains the same while they add certain features to justify these forms

[limber venture]

they should just add oshawott instead

that solves all the problems

[lunar comet]

one of those "certain features" is a dress and hat that covers like 60% of the body, i'd say that's a pretty huge change?

[livid tulip]

Add the three remaining water starters

[foggy spruce]

so even more perfect for the rotom form treatment, then

[limber venture]

no

just oshawott

[foggy spruce]

think of all the cool dances

[stiff valley]

and?

[dawn prairie]

[stiff valley]

only the 1st type matters for revelation dance

[lunar comet]

the silhouette is practically identical on all three monkeys, it's completely different on the birds

[misty acorn]

Always giving flying type as 2nd type = good

[tepid reef]

Hm, honestly

[cloud pulsar]

you have been hanging out with katten too much smh
now you are thinking like her

[tepid reef]

How did that even happen

[stiff valley]

Bro it's super lame

[tepid reef]

I don't think they bring much to the table tbh

[stiff valley]

pikachu/oricorio yellow is the same as pikachu/oricorio red and pikachu/oricorio purple and pikachu/oriciorio pink

except the sprite

that's it

[rough talon]

unironically though the unova starters would be an actually good pick for starters even if its 9 slots. like if you held a gun to my fucking head and said one set of starters was getting in and it was My Choice for this, i'd say unova

[limber venture]

no oshawott is just awesome https://youtu.be/KbS6nP-nRmk

[cloud pulsar]

what da hell

[thick jolt]

id probably prefer if it was just one pokemon with 4 sets of sprites

[whole apex]

as a serperior stan i agree

[thick jolt]

if i played the game

~~which i dont ~~

[tepid reef]

Yeah actually itsn't that how they normally work?

[mortal storm]

hm I understand why they are all on their own... but oh well it will take long until all of them has a decent amount of fusions

[near horizon]

or if he isn't added at all, i hate this bird

[subtle moss]

Earlier I was wonder if you should just make it a pure flying type with 3 alt sprites

[mortal storm]

well I guess at least they don't belong to the community choices

[near horizon]

At least

[rough talon]

issue of the skill variety

[dawn prairie]

imo having one slot with 4 separate forms to play with was part of the appeal of oricorio

[thick jolt]

do all oricorio forms have the same moveset/stats?

[subtle moss]

but if the Kiwi just said "yeah I want all 4" then, yeah, go for it

[dawn prairie]

yes

[mortal storm]

they just differ in design and typing

[rough talon]

its funny actually

[dawn prairie]

revelation dance is what separates them, it's the only stab of their flower type

[thick jolt]

so yeah making it pure flying was probably the best choice

[rough talon]

why are the oricorios dominantly female??????????

[thick jolt]

but eh well see how having 4 plays out

[near horizon]

No, i just hate this bird, he's useless

[rough talon]

clearly you havent seen the plays you can make with oricorio

[dawn prairie]

let it have quiver dance like it does in gen 9

[rough talon]

though i realize that's gen 9

[winter sparrow]

because dancing is associated with women a lot of the time

[rough talon]

well

its just funny because

[winter sparrow]

especially the dances oricorio references iirc

[livid tulip]

I love Oricorio

[rough talon]

they're birds and they should be GUYS!!!!!!!!!! because GUYS!!!! are the DANCERS!!!!!!!!! in BIRD SOCIETY!!!!!!!!

[near horizon]

I have and it's useless in 1v1 most of the time

[subtle moss]

I wonder if coding its ability will be hard

[winter sparrow]

oh true

[rough talon]

Idk maybe they're transgender . Good for them

[winter sparrow]

but these are human dances not bird dances 🤔

[dawn prairie]

everything in gen 7 is included in the essentials engine iirc
so they shouldnt need to code anything

[delicate crypt]

Oh SNAP YES ORICORIO CONFIRMED LESSSGOOOOO

[rough talon]

Ok counterpoint. the only reason why a bird would need to dance is to appeal to a mate. they don't dance otherwise for most species apart from like parrots but that's because they have a lot more ability to do random shit

[woven kettle]

@plucky arch contest when?

[plucky arch]

i didnt know the announcement was happening ill make it here in a hot sec

[rough talon]

so these birds just LOVE dancing i guess andthats it

maybe that's the explanation

[crystal hill]

I am hyped, I already was planning on joining this one no matter what it was

but now it's the best bird

just gotta figure out what I wanna do with it

[thick jolt]

orrrr, theyre pokemon and follow a different ruleset

[rough talon]

False

[thick jolt]

w-what

[rough talon]

FGHJADKSKF

False.

[thick jolt]

pfthahahaha

[rough talon]

listen i want more things to be absolutely fucking insane but still follow earthly logic in some way

[thick jolt]

lorewise they dance for combat mostly lmao

[rough talon]

i love media that has absolutely 0 regard for realism UNLESS its a niche biology fact that they put there because they think its funny or interesting

[woven kettle]

New contest rules: You have 4 times the amount of time due to everyone needing to make 4 fusions, 1 per each form.

[rough talon]

PLEASE NO

[crystal hill]

yeah they literally have dancing attacks and an ability that would make a group of them dancing together busted af

[whole apex]

so like if i chose unown/oricorio i’d have to do all 4 for my entry?

[rough talon]

i was gonna say actually, that would make even better justification for them to be male

[whole apex]

cause if so i rebuke that

[crystal hill]

PLEASE YES

[woven kettle]

Tee, you know what to do

[rough talon]

UNLESS

[woven kettle]

Yeah, but it can be any 4 fusions

[crystal hill]

you can spell fuck

[rough talon]

its the opposite to how we think about it and the female oricorio get in territorial disputes

[whole apex]

still rebuking it but love the spirit

[winter sparrow]

hey quick q once contest starts (i haven't started yet) would i post my sprite in #1050404143807873157 or does it stay here

[rough talon]

Yes.

In Spritework.

[woven kettle]

Yeah, you can get feedback

[rough talon]

(lest the contest voters see criticism and are skewed in some manner)

[winter sparrow]

ok but do i then post it to gallery when its finished or is there another method of submitting

[crystal hill]

or fight off predators, the pokemon ecosystem seems pretty fighting heavy likely due to the fact that just eating a berry can heal up to 33% of lethal damage so the cost to fighting is relatively lower as long as you survive

[woven kettle]

You post it to the gallery after the contest ends

[winter sparrow]

ok so dont post it to gallery then 👍

[rough talon]

p sure you can post it in gallery at any time you want

[winter sparrow]

ohhhh theres a gdrve

gdrive

i see now

[rough talon]

but its best to do it after in case there's more to be said there

[undone crag]

I'm not starting yet this time since they said there'd be another announcement, wouldn't be shocked if a different mon was the contest or something weird haha.

[winter sparrow]

yeah they said not to start yet anyway

[gleaming sand]

Yeah still no second announcement

Weird

[winter sparrow]

i've got my references out and everything. the wait is agony.

[woven kettle]

Yeah, Tee didn't know about the announcement

[woven kettle]

Here

Just give em time

[winter sparrow]

aight

[cedar quest]

Didn't Kiwi tell you to wait??

Oh nevermind

#announcements now

Look

It's time

Was waiting for Frog to do this for bit now

There it is

Bug testing time!

[plucky arch]

woo bugtesting

[cedar quest]

Anyways

Now you're good to go with the contest stuff

[thick jolt]

itd be really funny if mons not revealed yet were in the bug test

as a sort of secret to find out

even if it was just one

[cedar quest]

And if you need my help with it ((which I doubt you do)), I'm right here Tee.

[undone crag]

Well that's the second announcement lol. May be they're like "Hey don't do contest bugtest instead please" or something.

[uncut shadow]

How many new mons are we anticipating at the moment? Since the oricorio line is staff pick, how much do we still have

[misty acorn]

14

[uncut shadow]

WOW

[winter sparrow]

14 + whatever the raffle contest winner picks (probably also free)

[uncut shadow]

Thats so many!

[fleet obsidian]

Bahaha Oricorio Pa’u/Ursaring would be so fucking funny

[winter sparrow]

i had a lightning bolt of inspiration the moment I realized what Oricorio Baile could mean

[fleet obsidian]

There’s some good options ima try fucking around for a bit to see if there’s something I wanna make

[plucky arch]

i might participate this time round, if i get inspiration

[sturdy mulch]

Contest when

[fleet obsidian]

I’m so damn tempted to do Pom Pom/Hydreigon but Hydreigon hurts my soul to sprite

[winter sparrow]

i cant share it because im like 80% sure theres a possibility someone else shares a braincell with me like with the Sableye/Buttefrees

[icy jasper]

Is it fine to post a contest sketch here? I made one already

[thick harness]

I have a really solid Oricorio Baille idea; but I want to make all four versions at once because I hate myself 😃 so now I have to design three more for the same mon

[civic mauve]

If it's cheerleader machamp that's my current plan ^^;

[winter sparrow]

yeah the reference fusion I want to make only works with Baile for reasons

something something dancing fire bird

[civic mauve]

Just as a heads up, reference fusions tend to do poorly in contests. Though you can absolutely still submit one ^^

[plucky arch]

oh i have a good idea

i think

[cloud pulsar]

relatable

[winter sparrow]

i mean, the kind that's clearly Oricorio/[body] but also a reference to something else

because i think ive devised a way to make it look like both the thing and the body I'm using

worst comes to worst though it does just look like Oricorio/[body] but weird

[civic mauve]

That's probably fine then, just thought I'd mention it since sometimes folks think references will do better in contests and that isn't the case in Staff judged ones. Can't wait to see it tho

[winter sparrow]

yeah it just hit me "oh heres a thing i could do if i did [X]" but there was another idea i had thats more original

[cloud pulsar]

whats the coolest birb

[winter sparrow]

baile

[silver merlin]

i want to pin this so bad

[limber venture]

Do it

[fleet obsidian]

If anyone scraps an idea for this contest hit me up lmfao

I’m not the thinker

[plucky arch]

there we go

[frosty adder]

Wait wait wait, Ori is taking 4 slots???

[plucky arch]

yep

[frosty adder]

Oh

[plucky arch]

but its a bonus mon, not part of the 20

[frosty adder]

Not a fan of that

[undone crag]

it's not taking 4 slots technically since staff pick = free

[frosty adder]

Oh ok

[thick harness]

Yeah, it's Kiwi's special choice so it's just a fun extra

[cedar quest]

For what we as Spriter's get for free

[sly gorge]

Kinda weird that all the Oricorios are classified as different Pokemon but oh well

[cedar quest]

others...aren't so lucky

[sly gorge]

rpg maker got its limitations ig

[frosty adder]

I would have been a bit mad if they were part of the 20

[whole apex]

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEE

[plucky arch]

16 self fusions

[fleet obsidian]

Feel like sensu has some potential

[sly hatch]

BIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD

[plucky arch]

i think im gonna participate

ive got an idea

[fleet obsidian]

Also Pom Pom/Ursaring is literally big bird

[plucky arch]

if its shit tho im backing out

[crystal hill]

I wanna do something with the darwin finch evolution thingy, since that's my minor in uni

well kinda

evolutionary ecology

but not sure what exactly yet

[worthy pecan]

13 slots taken it seems
So 7 more?

[silver solar]

Nope

[worthy pecan]

There will be more than 20?

[silver solar]

Oricorio is a bonus

Kiwis personal pick

[fleet obsidian]

Tbh let me on prod so I can add bruxish

[silver solar]

We only have 6 slots taken

Were you counting venipede too?

Thats also a bonus

[fleet obsidian]

Those slots are Tyrunt line, Sableye, and Snorunt line?

[silver solar]

Coolio

[dull arrow]

gonna try to do something for this one, I'm pretty happy about the birds
I'd started one for the last contest but ended up being busy, gotta get around to finishing that to submit regularly too

[orchid bronze]

Uhhh question is this something anyone can do or do I have to apply to be a spriter first

[wooden root]

Okay but wait

[worthy shuttle]

Anyone can submit to the contest

[wooden root]

Volcarona with Quiver Dance, Fiery Dance, and Dancer ability???

[cedar quest]

This is something anyone can do

[wooden root]

Absolutely busted

[fleet obsidian]

That boy know how to boogie

[winter sparrow]

oh hey if anyone needs it here's some concept art (I needed to know what Baile's wings looked like when they're straight out)

[undone crag]

Ok I've actually got an idea that COULD work out well. We'll see.

[worthy shuttle]

Volcarona/roserade with quiver dance, flamethrower, gunk shot, and giga drain carried me through elite 4 lmao

[fleet obsidian]

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Wait a minute I forgot Roserade exists bro

[tepid reef]

There being 4 of them kind of ruins the dance references ngl

With (Oricorio) bodies

[crystal hill]

ok I know what the fuck I wanna do with my fusion, just had an idea

it's getting late here so will start on it tomorrow

[wooden root]

I’m excited to see the ideas for these fusions

Oricorio is a great pick for cool fusions

[crystal hill]

yeah there's a lot you can do with it

I for sure wanna do 4 sprites for hoppip after my contest entry

god I've not done sprites in a few months, done several on paper sketches but didn't finish any of them

but this is making me excited again

[wooden root]

I haven’t made any sprites in like 30 years because my brain refuses to think of good ideas

But maybe this will be the inspiration I need lol

[misty acorn]

I'll only allow you to participate if you promise to vote for nihilego (or any fighting type) if you win 🤝

[plucky arch]

mmm maybe

[crystal hill]

spheal tho

[cursive monolith]

hey what programs do you guys use to make sprites?

[gleaming sand]

Piskel

[misty acorn]

gimp

[gleaming sand]

It's simple, essential and free

[plucky arch]

but remember

[crisp whale]

Libresprite

[cursive monolith]

aye thanks

[cedar quest]

That's literally a lie lmao

[crisp whale]

I'd like to actually get an entry into this contest. Last two times I tried to enter a mini, I only started the day it was due and ran out of time

[cedar quest]

Frog already said it

[crisp whale]

But oricorio is cool

[plucky arch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/745868243104956529/1147177965323563018/image0.gif

[gleaming sand]

Stop lying

Also, could you answer my question

I pinged you hours ago

[cedar quest]

Question being?

[thick jolt]

i wonder wether a biweekly pokemon of the fortnight contest could be cool, and wether itd end up being too much work

take the poke with the lowest number of fusions every 2 weeks and make a mini contest

[cedar quest]

I know I may not be orange anymore, but I was a CM.

And tomorrow I'll be taking over for Mael with the LC polls

So....

Ask away @gleaming sand

[gleaming sand]

It was a question specifically for a current CM

It's about the froslass contest

[stiff valley]

it's kinda not ?

[cedar quest]

I mean...it's weird

[gleaming sand]

I submitted a sprite, and someone gave me a 5 (only one), but also added a comment

[stiff valley]

you don't choose a new Pokémon, you choose a new possible Pokémon

[thick jolt]

someone wrote why? 5 on an entry to the contest

[cedar quest]

It's adding it do a list of random chance, yadda yadda

*to

[gleaming sand]

Thus invalidating the vote and making it a 0

[stiff valley]

it's not even random lol

[winter sparrow]

man drawing Baile's wing from scratch is kind of unfamiliar to me (no spoilers)

[gleaming sand]

It's really unfair imo

[stiff valley]

it's froggo who picks his favorite among them all i believe

[cedar quest]

So pretty much random

[plucky arch]

no guys believe Big Brother

[gleaming sand]

Answer me PLEASE

[plucky arch]

its literally 1984 in infinite fusion

[slow gyro]

How Oricorio self fusions would work?

[cedar quest]

Dude, calm down man,

[gleaming sand]

Wuh

I'm not upset lmao

[plucky arch]

it didnt i counting the points

that 5 was included in the score

[cedar quest]

No, but you are pestering. And lemme tell ya, we CMs have a....history of pushing back stuff from pestering

[stiff valley]

"we cm" you only

[cedar quest]

OK Mr. LC polls

They could be done rn, bot is back up

[stiff valley]

i'm not pushing back from pestering

i'm pushing back from lc is terrible and takes too much work

[cedar quest]

Wrong

You just do what you did with the first round

Pace yourself

[stiff valley]

first round was too much work

[cedar quest]

You think I'm doing all 130 polls planned tomorrow???

[stiff valley]

yes

[cedar quest]

No, because that's how you burn yourself out silly

But youuuu didn't listen

[gleaming sand]

@plucky arch

[stiff valley]

ngl i prefer to be burnt out once and never do it again than to actually have to do it

[plucky arch]

oh, weird

[gleaming sand]

Yeah

[plucky arch]

i thought that was a super different one

[stiff valley]

seeing the other scores it's a troll and they didn't mean to give 5

[gleaming sand]

As in, you thought i was referring to a different sprite?

[stiff valley]

but an actual 0

[grim ether]

im curious, what are these from ?

[gleaming sand]

The results in #event-announcements

[gleaming sand]

Damn, thanks

[heady moat]

That last column got added by somebody when they posted the sheet without turning off the ability to edit - I saw it happen in real time lol

[gleaming sand]

So was it a troll or a genuine 5 that wasn't counted?

[stiff valley]

bruh

[plucky arch]

the last column should not exist just ignore it

[gleaming sand]

Wait what the fuck

[plucky arch]

its why it doesnt have a name

[gleaming sand]

I didn't even realize
