event-general

[plush vale]

or is it

[cedar quest]

I tried to same command on both Tympoll & Pollpitoad

Tympoll ran it just fine

Pollpitoad did not respond

While anonmity issues typically are fixed with Pollpitoad

I think I just gotta go with Tympoll for rn

[languid pine]

Going by the event thing, I would actually like to see a Trevenant fusion, mostly because Trevenant is a really boring looking Pokemon

[crude cedar]

Wht is one LC??

Huh... Based on how they Phrased the Little Cup Announcement in #special-contest-polls are we getting Cresselia or Munna?

[bleak swift]

Is it only on my end or does this poll only have ine option though it says 2?

[late sequoia]

Little Cup (LC) was a special contest done months ago that the voting for got held up by bot issues.

[steel vortex]

Idk why sometimes only shows A or B or none
I always see both options

I found my

[plucky arch]

(gamr just worked hard and deserves the rest)

[gleaming sand]

I can't tell if you're sarcastic ngl

[steel vortex]

I can barely tell what fusion some of these are

[fading lodge]

That's something that bothers me about some fusions. People make cool sprites, but don't follow the spirit of the game by making the fusions clearly recognizable as the two Pokemon they are made from.

[steel vortex]

Yeeeeah

It is a small handful here thankfully

[thick harness]

Yeah; i'm surprised that it seems that some of these are currently getting so many votes considering these are spriter only; thought they'd be more critical of fusion clarity

[fading lodge]

I wish the votes were anonymous. I don't like watching my sprite lose in slow motion.

[amber sluice]

If it's not obvious but I can tell from some details, I give it a pass. But if Im sitting there scratching my head trying to figure out the logic behind it that's too much for me

[fading lodge]

What's worse, it's a sprite I'm pretty proud of too.

[late sequoia]

It's as anonymous as it can be sadly, the bot just can't keep up.

[fading lodge]

Slow motion death is sad death.

[near horizon]

they're not anonymous, i don't see the "anonymous" line on the vote options

[steel vortex]

Oh shoot you're right

[thick harness]

Oh is that why I didn't recieve any confirmation messages from the bot this time? I just figured it was running slow

[fading lodge]

I feel like excessive sprite effects will always be my downfall

[tawdry oak]

Gah 55 to 14 I ain’t winning this one

[steel vortex]

Ahhh that explains that

[steel vortex]

Theres some that are straight up 80% of the sprite, and the fusion is like in a corner

[fading lodge]

Plus, I'm not huge on SFX or excessive detail. I'm kinda minimalist (if it conveys the fusion it's enough). But that's not as popular. Oh well.

[misty acorn]

The best fusions to me are the ones that don't to more detail or effects than they need to, but that still are incredibly detailed and out of the box with what they do use

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aegide/autogen-fusion-sprites/master/Battlers/154/154.241.png

This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.

[steel vortex]

[misty acorn]

This comes to mind

[steel vortex]

I like sfx if it makes sense, like Charizard's fire (I made a houndoom with fire recently too)
Awww that's so cute! And yeah, little props that fit the fusion and don't take up like half the space are nice too, exceptions being like mega Sableye's gem!

[hollow gull]

where do losers cup votes take place?

[fading lodge]

In #special-contest-polls , when Gamr and crew are able to get to them.

[cedar quest]

If it is, that'd be a wild coincedence

But nope, planning on just having a fun joke about the first poll messages, adding some flair to them each time I do 'em

Yep

[cedar quest]

Losers Round 2 won't be for a lil' bit here

Oh oops

forgot to toggle off ping

my b

[fading lodge]

No problem. I don't mind pings.

[vestal silo]

I have to vote again on all of them?

[molten vector]

Nope, only one poll was redone and it's at the bottom

[spring osprey]

why i cant see my name in the poll?

[hollow gull]

whyzzat

just cause it'll take a while to set up? or is it staggered on purpose

[crude cedar]

What are your thoughts on Cresselia possibly having a Chance at getting in

[misty acorn]

me when mono psychic legi number 12 drops

[cedar quest]

both.

[molten vector]

Practically none if I had to guess, people always forget about her

[wary pier]

How does one. Ote for the contest and how does one look at the fusions for the contest?

Vote*

[twin otter]

some of the polls not working for other people to? I've seen some good sprites with less than 10 votes and I tried to vote for them but it took my vote away, then I would vote for the other and it would work. so I removed that vote and tried to vote for the one i wanted (the less than 10) but it took it straight off again

[plush vale]

all the current contests are spriter only or staff judged

[winter sparrow]

yeah i had this too where i accidentally voted for the wrong sprite and couldnt change the vote

[cedar quest]

I wanted to use the other bot today, but it wasn't working

Both our poll bots aren't great, working with what I got

[grand tusk]

stop using discord bots then

[cedar quest]

Would have even more issues

[twin otter]

Your good, I just wanted to bring it up to make sure no sprites are knocked out due to a bot error

[molten crater]

Let's say there exists a bot that generates the google forms automatically with the images for people to vote, would that be ok?

[fading lodge]

Oof. My slow motion car crash continues to pain me.

I still don't know what the polls are referring to, if it's the post above or below

[cloud solstice]

I want an actual pokemon contest, like in the games/anime, where you dress up the pokemon and make moves in front of a jury

[tranquil fable]

Ok but where's the "reference only contest"

[silk plank]

this would be fucking awesome

unironically

woooo sharpedo!

lets go!

[plush vale]

as in 10 bucks a piece 😛

[sly hatch]

first Shits takes over the subreddit. I'm excited about the cool shark but dreading the new joke

[slim palm]

YEAHHH BABY SHARPEDO TIME

[eager raven]

It is time for me to try my best once again
Good luck everyone !!

[heavy lark]

reminder that you can now make a beyou blahaj with sharpedo

[soft saddle]

Who wants to bet that Sharpedo/Sylveon will be a blahaj?

[heavy lark]

im making it right now

and by making i mean poorly editing but i hope it looks good

[sly gorge]

I am speedrunning making a base for Sharpedo rn

so I can make a fusion of it

before anyone else does

[languid bough]

Wow snarking or something

[steel vortex]

I got no ideas for this lmfao

[lusty crystal]

I'm probs gonna do carvanha since it has an extra color

[crude cedar]

I've got a Real Idea for this, and I can blow everyone away.

And that is in fact a Pun

[plush vale]

sharpedo bluff

[crude cedar]

It's no Bluff

[thick harness]

Yeah, for the first time with one of these new reveals I just have, no inspiration. Like not even a vague idea of anything to do

[raven pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/abwebfan-hruman-sharkreaction-shark-gif-12986231606650859467

[crude cedar]

I want to at least Win ONE Contest

[heavy lark]

so a fusion with sylveon as the head and sharpedo as the body would be 339/437 right?

[thin dove]

eyy here we go get ready for dozens of sharpedo/garchomps

[crude cedar]

Anyway I completely lost my sprite in the lil cup competition lol

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-billions-money-cash-plenty-gif-10135114

[crude cedar]

Is Sharpedo Primary Water or Primary Dark?

[misty acorn]

Water I think

Which is nice, dark bodies are kinda rare

You have like krookodile and... idk what else

[crude cedar]

I want to make sure which Fusion would be Water Type if I were to Fuse it with a Pure Fighting or Pure Normal Type as the Body

Like, this is just an Example, but would Sharpedo/Snorlax be Water/Normal or Normal/Dark?

If Sharpedo is the Head, I mean

[plucky arch]

they might change water to be the body, i wouldnt doubt it, but i do like it being Water/Dark

[plucky arch]

sharpedo heads are water

[misty acorn]

Plsase don't swap the tying froggie, we need dark bodies

🙏

https://tenor.com/view/frog-loop-frog-loop-viynl-frog-viynl-gif-18152140

[plucky arch]

ill bring that up

[crude cedar]

A Water Head is what I need

If I don't get a Water Head, then I don't really HAVE anything at all to do for it

[balmy mango]

for the sharpedo event does it mean you have to fuse it with a pokemon thats been announced and not in the game yet or just any pokemon in if

[misty acorn]

yes

[balmy mango]

which one for yes

lol

[misty acorn]

(the 2nd)

[balmy mango]

k cool

[lunar comet]

how does the sharpe do?

[misty acorn]

Can't wait for Mr. pedo

[wraith notch]

I think I have the dumbest idea for a fusion.

[grim ether]

speedrunning making mr mime/sharpedo and sharpedo/mr mime so my sprites make it in first and stuff like this gets banished to alt hell forever because main sprites voting is dead

[lusty crystal]

I'm ready for half the submissions to just be Mr. Pedo

[plucky arch]

Mr. Edo

[silk bolt]

are sfx allowed ?

[misty acorn]

yeah we're in the dissappinting time line

[uncut shadow]

making it right now

[plush vale]

again it'll be split to sharp edo or something

[plush vale]

we're in the edo period

[misty acorn]

Still sad about the day Hitmonchan was moved from Hit-monchan to Hitmon-chan

[plush vale]

wouldja prefer stantler switched to sta-ntler

also think theres some stuff you cna do with lee suffix

[arctic garnet]

If the sharpedo body is a literal fish, it would make more sense being the water type...

Sharpedo's head is where all the darkness is

[crude cedar]

I want the Head to be Water though

[misty acorn]

same

[plush vale]

gotta keep in mind when fused head is actually more likely to bring shark features to a mon while body is more just missile

[arctic garnet]

Ya know what.... fair point

[heavy lark]

so i post it in the drive?

[plush vale]

could be good to do spritework first for a chance to get some more polishj

[heavy lark]

i did post it in spritework #1152682357942390845 but they seem to think its ready for posting

[plush vale]

can always put it in for nowbut leave thread up for more feedback I had a note

[heavy lark]

do i add my name to it?

like the file name

[sly gorge]

I'm surprised there's not Team Carvanha Family yet

usually those teams get made as soon as the contest gets announced

[icy jasper]

If a contest fusion has a small reference in it, is it allowed?

especially if it has a subtle one?

[slender thunder]

I think I want to put alot of effort into one of these for once

[sleek trail]

Yeah, I think it just has to be clear what the fusion is

[zealous pendant]

My rule is this: If a completely media illiterate person (except for knowing pokemon) can't tell what your fusion is. It needs to change

[plush vale]

now you're good, (still not usable in contest though)

[runic ruin]

Hm. Thoughts on this design for Sharpedo/Blaziken?

[misty acorn]

dope

left leg feels a little short, tho I get the angle

[plush vale]

could maybe try to do water jets somehow for the bands instead of seaweedish thing though that does tie into like shark egg purse or something maybe

do think water one'sd look cooler

[amber sluice]

Man I am struggling to find inspiration for an entry here. Got like, three ideas that I kinda think I could work with but nothing that's getting me excited

[plush vale]

sharpedo bluff

spaceship, zamtrios, left shark

[indigo ice]

LOLLL did they give up after the trev outcry qnd do another contest

[plush vale]

no.... there wasn't a contest last time because of the bday contest

so they shifted forward the revals afterwitht eh rush thing so as to hav eone without a contest

there was never any plan not to do any more there'd been a poll on how people were feeling beforehand, really obnoxious to be lol haha did they give up with 0 understanding of situation

[plucky arch]

yep

there was never gonna be a trev contest

it was intended for a halloween rush

[indigo ice]

WHOOPS!

so much for the no more mini contests I heard LOL

(guy just woke ip)

[limpid sphinx]

birthday results when

[half rapids]

sharpedo results when

[limpid sphinx]

this is so epic crist!

[half rapids]

also someones totally gonna make duskull/sharpedo thats literally just sharpedo x right

[plush vale]

we don't yoink from other fan games designs without permission

[half rapids]

well yeah

but someone is gonna do it anyways i bet

[plush vale]

and they'd get in trouble and have it deleted

[half rapids]

well yeah

but how else would you even do that fusion its gonna end up looking like it lol

[plush vale]

have somebody who hasn't seen x make it would beone route

[plucky arch]

fair warning, not for a while

blaq doesnt come online during the weekends and hes gotta vote

[half rapids]

understandable!

[thin dove]

so monday then?

[cyan gull]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid sphinx]

[lunar comet]

wait so these are something else then? #contest-gallery message

[plucky arch]

yeah theyre more old contest results

[lunar comet]

AH gotcha

[plush vale]

apparently from 2022

[lunar comet]

this must've been well before the server blew up because having top three as well as all five spotlights claimed by four people is NUTS

[plucky arch]

and GamR's

and Scrapi is literally banned lmao

[lunar comet]

oh

[slender thunder]

So I'm thinking about what I want to fuse and have decided on a Carvanha head but now I need to choose a body mon

I have a list of potential body mons

Tyrantrum, Mr. Mime, Persian, Lopunny, Palkia, Wailord and more
Hard to choose

[delicate crypt]

So many of my favs are getting added 😩

[silk plank]

we need carnivine

[vestal token]

palkia seems like it could be cool

[slender thunder]

I've picked my Pokémon (it wasn't any of the ones on this list :p)

[ocean grotto]

I stg someone fuse Sharpedo with Lugia and make Sharknado

[loud shell]

Birthday contest results when

[plucky arch]

cough

[limpid sphinx]

F

[crude cedar]

Okay, I have my Fusion Idea. What would the Typing be on a Sharpedo/Beldum?

[misty acorn]

Water/Fighting

[plucky arch]

it would not

also why does typing matter

[crude cedar]

I'm trying to figure out if Typing would make me have the Sprite feel more Aquatic, Darker, or Metallic.

[plucky arch]

okay heres a tip right

look up Sharpedo, thats a Water/Dark type
if its Something/Sharpedo its Something/Dark
Sharpedo/Something is Water/Something
apply that to every pokemon

any type changes are pinned somewhere around here, same info or smth i think

[gleaming sand]

how do people find the system confusing

smh

[misty acorn]

Oh I read it as Sharpedo/Breloom lmao

my bad

[supple magnet]

Agreed

Where they at

[plucky arch]

cough

[supple magnet]

D:

[void sluice]

Simon will need some pills later

[sinful pendant]

🙋‍♀️ Question: will there a contest for the new slimey bois?

[plucky arch]

not as long as i have any say

[rough talon]

OWNED LMFAO

(i know its a joke but)

goodra is overrated smh 🙄

i actually dunno how that would go as a contest as well tbh

[verbal lance]

Ya'll heard Simon, only sharpedo and carvanha self fusions allowed

[rough talon]

LLOAUHGUAHGUHJG

damn everyone pack it up

[wary canopy]

on it boss

[steady pasture]

god dammit

thrashing on Carvanha... good job

Why the random reminder though?

[verbal lance]

Ah I've also got a question mr. manager, is the goodra line allowed(as the 2nd mon) for the sharpedo contest?

[grim ether]

"oh why did you need to specify that its sharpedo only--"

|| # GOODRA BOYS WE WON ||

[verbal lance]

Or are only pokemon announced before sharpedo allowed?

[steady pasture]

Ah... becuz Goodra line was revealed, they didn't want to confuse contest participants

The contest is for Sharpedo line only

[grim ether]

but if it was sharpedo/goodra, would it be allowed?

[verbal lance]

That's what I'm asking

[plucky arch]

many people were asking if goomy fusions were allowed in the new pokemon chat

[sturdy mulch]

yo, is goomy fusions allowed?

[misty acorn]

I hope contest managers just never allow goomy fusions for any future contest

[lusty crystal]

444,445,446

[verbal lance]

That chat goes by so fast I can't find out if the question was answered or not

[lusty crystal]

Last time it was a no so I assume it's the same this time

[misty acorn]

#event-announcements

[verbal lance]

I guess that's fair

[steady pasture]

That doesn't answer the question though

like can ppl do Goodra/Sharpedo?

[verbal lance]

This is all I gathered from the announcement #event-general message

I was trying to find out if it was a trubbish situation like during the oricorio contest

[steady pasture]

since Goodra line was announced after the Sharpedo line, the answer would be no, but ppl want to know anyways and double check

[verbal lance]

I get the feeling @lusty crystal is correct in this case since this happened before

[plucky arch]

i am rly tempted to ban goomy fusions from all contests until a fighting type is added LMAO

i dont think im allowed to do that but itd be so fucking funny and would prolly get people adding fighting types to their winner polls

[thick harness]

Nice to know Goomy fusions will never be allowed then

[gaunt sigil]

When was goomy added?

Lol when did I miss this

[plush vale]

morning see announcements

[gaunt sigil]

Oh ok

[misty acorn]

[plucky arch]

kiwi said no 😔

[plush vale]

I think part of barrier fighting types face is that they are often similarish but for the details ad such so when all that gets changed via using dif heads (which ya often o with a fighting type) makes it harder to have something feel like a meaningful addition

I do think hawlucha ya could dos ome cool stuff with various luchador designs for one

hariyama'd be alright, though prob unlikely

[lunar comet]

what fighting types even are there that aren't already in IF

sawk and throh?

[plush vale]

falinksd be nice if we had gen 8 options

[primal iron]

urgh not the muppets

[winter sparrow]

kommo-o

[lusty crystal]

Hawlu

[winter sparrow]

toxicroak

[thick harness]

I'd love to see Hawlucha, Pangoro or Toxicroak as my top three fighting picks, but at this rate i'd settle even for Crabominable

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-cakes-foodie-delicious-homemade-foodiegram-gif-24381012

[winter sparrow]

scrafty

[wary canopy]

mienshao😔

[plush vale]

toxicroak also boosts our really excessive poison type

[winter sparrow]

buzzwole and mienshao true

[lunar comet]

is conkeldurr fighting or am i misremembering

[winter sparrow]

it is

[plush vale]

of course he is

what else would he be

[winter sparrow]

also the Swords of Justice but I really doubt their chances

[lunar comet]

rock???? idk man theres 1000 of these things

[misty acorn]

I think part of the barrier they face is that they are not dragon types or semi legis

[plush vale]

so pure grass to pure steel to pure rock?

[plush vale]

do you ean pseudo?

[thick harness]

Kommo-O

[plush vale]

cause that applies to most types but fightings the one struggling

[plucky arch]

something about "not using my power to turn community events into my own personal agenda" or smth smhsmh

[misty acorn]

Massive kiwi L

[winter sparrow]

😔

[misty acorn]

Its not even your agenda, its mine

maybe that will pursuade her

[plucky arch]

anyway fighting types include: Toxicroak, Bewear, Pangoro, Hawlucha

[plush vale]

lets add blaziken a second time

[primal iron]

pangoro would be cool

[winter sparrow]

pangoro is very debatable for me i think

there are so many other fighting types

[wary canopy]

toxicroak pangoro/bewear (either of them not both www) or mienshao are my person 3 most wanted , cool mons

[plush vale]

pangoro'd be alright but lot'sve aruged ya can do similar with usaring for body at least

[plucky arch]

pangoro is great

panda, love pandas

[primal iron]

idk pangoro has the whole trenchcoat looking thing that i think would be neat for fusion

[plush vale]

its def not a trenchcoat

[primal iron]

w-e you call it

[wary canopy]

in general its delinquent aesthetic goes hard

[primal iron]

i'm french gime a break xD

[winter sparrow]

also fwiw I'd rather Toxicroak's types switch so we can have a proper Physical Poison-type in the body slot (Which would make it not Fighting in the body slot)

[thick harness]

Yeah i'm just biased because I like Pangoro but he's cool, and he'd also bring another dark type which we're a little low on

[plush vale]

it's like a school uniform jakcet

[primal iron]

jacket, that's the word

[plush vale]

we have too much poison as is

[winter sparrow]

but i dont think frogman will switch its typings

[lunar comet]

oh hey you know what else is a fighting type

[winter sparrow]

have you seen the Attack stats of the Poison-types we have access to though? not great

[lunar comet]

tepig line

[wary canopy]

chesnaught stans rise up (its just me)

[mild crescent]

Skarmory.....my beloved

[plucky arch]

updated list of the number of used pokemon types in PIF ||after Goodra line reveal||
ice (17) . fighting (19) . dark (24) . fairy (25) . electric (28). dragon, ghost (32).
steel (33). rock (35). bug (36) . fire (38) . ground (44) .
grass, poison, psychic (45).
normal (54). flying (55). water (67).
Dragon ties with ghost now.

[plush vale]

scolipedes got 100

[winter sparrow]

like it's really bad that a lot of these either aren't poison as the body or can't be in IF

scolipede is not enough. i want mooooore.

[plush vale]

two of those are megas

[winter sparrow]

yes

one of them is arceus.

[lusty crystal]

Arceus-Poison

[lunar comet]

how does that compare with used pokemon types globally tho, or at least in gen 7

[winter sparrow]

and one fo them is alolan muk (very questionable)

[mild crescent]

How in the world is venusmega not 150

[plush vale]

also isn't muk apoison body?

with 105

[winter sparrow]

yeah but its slow

[plush vale]

scolipede ahs speed boost

[winter sparrow]

fine, i'll use scolipede

[mild crescent]

They can't all be Beedrill speed

[plush vale]

pair it with a slower high attacker

[plucky arch]

we have WAYYYYY less fighting types then the games, and way more fire and water, but everything else i think is vaguely normal?

[plush vale]

could use some more dark

and fairy

add xy duo

[winter sparrow]

hawlucha would pass Flying unless its types were swapped (as a body)

[lunar comet]

inb4 bacon strips joke alt

[plucky arch]

no more legends, no more dragons, give us Normal Pokemon

[winter sparrow]

similarly Pangoro passes Dark as a body

and the crab passes Ice (and the crab is trash anyway)

[lunar comet]

alternatively: legendary only edition

[plush vale]

you cna say no more legends after we get yveltal 😤

[mild crescent]

Mono stage pokemon would be a bit tricky to make an event for right?

[verbal lance]

You say we're low on fighting but where's the justice for ice types

[plucky arch]

yveltal isnt even that good

[winter sparrow]

i mean... we did get spoiled a legend

[lunar comet]

nah, just means less options

[mild crescent]

Ice left to suffer

[lunar comet]

we got sableye after all

[plush vale]

both it and xerneas have a lotta potnetial designwise

[mild crescent]

I hesitate to say it's a mono anymore

[winter sparrow]

WE GOT SNORUNT. snorunt is fine

[sinful pendant]

I mean, this is a sharpedo only contest

[mild crescent]

It DOES have a mega

[plush vale]

also you are pushing for monkeys your opinion holds little weight

[verbal lance]

I love tyrantrum to death but Its incomplete without the ice dinos

[mild crescent]

[plucky arch]

lack of ice types is a gamefreak issue, we all know that and are like "yeah" yknow, and we got 3
but lack of fighting types is an IF specific issue, and we havent gotten any this reveal

[winter sparrow]

oh marshadow and pheromosa are also fighting types but uhhhhhhhhhhh
no

[mild crescent]

I'm still laughing that the UB roach is a fighting type lol

[winter sparrow]

just

[mild crescent]

It SENDS me

[winter sparrow]

also because any of the single fighting type legends would just be woefully inadequate

aaand marshadow doesn't pass fighting as a body

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild crescent]

[plush vale]

ya can do a lot with yveltal xerneas, there's really strong potential with some of their body parts like the claw horn blades and rainbow horns that can have uses in various parts, staffs wings etc in different fusions
also they they have motifs you can pull a lot from concept wise with gods of life and death, and you can do fun stuff with subverting them like corrupted god of unlife or silly pink or smol death god

[winter sparrow]

holding out for mienshao, hawlucha, toxicroak. Kommo-o's not getting in we just got our pseudo

[mild crescent]

Could make the horns the yveltal claws either way and make it sorta raonbow

[plucky arch]

i mean we could get multiple pseudos

we got one fossil but not the other, nothing is out of the question

[plush vale]

didnt just mean fusing with each other

[lunar comet]

kommo-o is just goodra with armor tbh

[winter sparrow]

what.

[plush vale]

not at all

[plush vale]

I mean slot wise, no kommo-os not but that's not how the voting works people aint adjusting hteir votes anymore

[mild crescent]

Explain your reasoning

[lunar comet]

no

[winter sparrow]

ok 👍

[mild crescent]

[winter sparrow]

i think the reveals are partially vote-based and partially based on balancing out what's already been revealed

[mild crescent]

I......vaguely? See it

[winter sparrow]

i don't think we're getting every mon in the exact order of the poll, in any case

[lunar comet]

are poll results even available yet?

[winter sparrow]

no

[plucky arch]

i think reveals are mostly vote based, but frog gets final say

for example, the starters

[winter sparrow]

unfortunately the mons that got leaked in the playtest weren't fighting

[summer nebula]

problem is there's not many Fighting-types in Gens I and II, and most of the Gen III onwards ones are either not super-popular, or legendaries (which are overabundant)

[plucky arch]

and most are super humanoid and weird

[summer nebula]

like there's some that are pretty popular, but not REALLY popular like Goodra or Tyrantrum

[plucky arch]

Machoke, Sawk, Throh, and Gurdurr are just the same body

[summer nebula]

And a lot of Fighting-types suffer from not having much potential as fusions

[plucky arch]

well, Throh and Makuhita more like it

[plush vale]

I'd argue gurdurr is a dif body but not one we'd want

falinks again would be a great choice but gen 8

[summer nebula]

I still think Scraggy/Scrafty would be great

[plush vale]

eh

[summer nebula]

same goes for Meditite/Medicham

[plucky arch]

Pangoro and Toxicroak are our goats for fighting

[plush vale]

I'd def prefer pangoro to sacrggy scrafty

[lunar comet]

gurdurr would at least have the B E A M going for it, i could see that being used effectively design-wise

[mild crescent]

I always wondered how goo-evos got so popular. Was it really just goomy being cute?

[plush vale]

toxicroacks cool but even more poison

[lunar comet]

goodra

[plush vale]

really was never a fan of goodra

[winter sparrow]

would rather mienshao over pangoro

[plucky arch]

naw meinshao sucks

[winter sparrow]

especially because pangoro does not pass fighting in the body slot as it stands now

[plush vale]

that can be flipped

[winter sparrow]

but we can't guarantee that it's flipped

[plucky arch]

we have plenty of fighting bodies

[plush vale]

or just fuse with something else that does have the good stats too

[winter sparrow]

but the thing with pangoro is that it has very very body stats

[plucky arch]

oh yallre talking about stats, L

[plush vale]

care more about design anyways

[winter sparrow]

i mean i also think mienshao's design is better

[mild crescent]

Man no love for medicham at all huh

[winter sparrow]

but it helps that i don't have to be concerned that it'll ever not be Fighting

[summer nebula]

stats are the only way to get people to actually use your sprites tho *

*unless it's a Gardevoir body

[plush vale]

yeah but you also think gogoat is cool 😛

[winter sparrow]

i do not like medicham but i see where you're coming from.

[plucky arch]

not for me i dont know what stats mean i just look for cool ones

[mild crescent]

Gogoat is cool. Precious plant goat buddy

[winter sparrow]

also it helps that mienshao is better

[lunar comet]

i hate medicham's face tbh. the rest of it is fine i just do not like its horrible kissy mouth

[mild crescent]

Fair.

[lunar comet]

we already have jynx/smoochum

[plush vale]

think the mouth is based more on the yknow marital artist going OOO in ahigh pitch

[plucky arch]

i honestly would not be opposed to stufful either ngl

[winter sparrow]

true, bewear could have stuffed animal fusions

[lunar comet]

doesn't matter what it's based on, it just means every medicham head is now obligated to include lips

any pokemon with lips is an L for head fusions

[summer nebula]

issue is Mimikyu exists and takes that niche

[winter sparrow]

ig

[plucky arch]

nah mimikyu is more mimic

[lunar comet]

not really imo

mimikyu is costumes

[winter sparrow]

ive seen mimikyu fusions with stuffing before iirc

[mild crescent]

We can cross themes I imagine

[plush vale]

don't cross the streamsthemes

[lunar comet]

yea but that's mostly because actual plush toy mons aren't available

[winter sparrow]

opinion on swords of justice? (not keldeo)

[lunar comet]

mimikyu is the closest currently available

uh

[mild crescent]

Don't we have banette

[plush vale]

eh on swords of justice

[winter sparrow]

oh yeah we do have banette

[mild crescent]

Everyone forgets banette...

[winter sparrow]

i mean in terms of gameplay Bewear does add Fluffy as an ability and that's funny

[plush vale]

thats where banettes come from

[lunar comet]

cinemasins ding budget legendary beasts/dogs

[plush vale]

most of gen 5 is budget x

[mild crescent]

Btw has anyone mentioned heracross for fighting

[void sluice]

why do we need to care for stats
if we can have cool and awesome fusions

[plush vale]

no because we have it

[winter sparrow]

we have heracross.

[plush vale]

it's gen 2

[winter sparrow]

because I can think about both the design of the mon and how funny it is in battle

[mild crescent]

Okay it seems I got lost somehow in the discussion then

[lunar comet]

gotta have competitive mons in our non-multiplayer game

[winter sparrow]

im two different varieties of nerd.

i spent half of my playtest time theorizing the best way to abuse Dancer as an ability

[plush vale]

the polite one and the impolite one

[void sluice]

be me

uses perish song
spam potion
dies and wins

[mild crescent]

It seems like we're talking about what mons are good for porting in right or am I still lost

[winter sparrow]

yes

[plush vale]

https://tenor.com/view/yveltal-legendary-pokemon-pokemon-diancie-and-the-cocoon-of-destruction-pokemon-movie-pokemon-gif-16665363462890750948

[void sluice]

but which pokemon are y'all about?

[winter sparrow]

goat

[lunar comet]

the fuck? what is this from

[winter sparrow]

its not getting in but goat.

[plush vale]

the diancie movie

[mild crescent]

Then it's obvious. We should nominate the meme fighting type

[winter sparrow]

silvally?

[void sluice]

goat

[lunar comet]

whose stealth plane is that

[mild crescent]

F L A M I ----

[plush vale]

the chesnaught guy I think

[winter sparrow]

we cant have flamigo

[mild crescent]

[plush vale]

no gen 8+

[lunar comet]

gen 8+ doesn't work with the game's code

[winter sparrow]

in lieu of flamigo, i nominate keldeo

[mild crescent]

Damn I have so much to learn

[winter sparrow]

oh look at that a specially oriented fighting type, thats new
shame its keldeo

My Little Pony looking ass

[lunar comet]

oof

facts but also goddamn chill

[winter sparrow]

its a shame because i do like keldeo as a pokemon its just not very good for this game

and ponyta already exists so any niche it had is destroyed

[void sluice]

i hate this one-

[winter sparrow]

corporate is asking you to find the difference between these two picture

[mild crescent]

Rapidash literally getting like 3 different versions lately

[lunar comet]

one has stupid hair

[void sluice]

both are gay

oh wait, was i supposed to tell the difference?

[winter sparrow]

and the other is keldeo
seriously though i have trouble seeing keldeo's niche as a body and that's a shame

[lunar comet]

that particular art of keldeo bothers me tbh

[winter sparrow]

like i dont think this is any more interesting

[winter sparrow]

big horn

[lunar comet]

ok fair

[void sluice]

they're the same

[winter sparrow]

hey i like g-rapidash

[void sluice]

i find it kinda cute

but still, i don't 't like galar

[lunar comet]

broken outline on the back leg makes it look sus

[void sluice]

where is the other leg tho?

[mild crescent]

Rip mudsdale always forgotten as a horse

[lunar comet]

was referring to the keldeo art above

[void sluice]

that one?

[lunar comet]

yes

[void sluice]

i see it

keldeo is gay

[winter sparrow]

i mean its a horse that has legs it can be assumed that the legs are just

ok 👍

[void sluice]

not a horse

a poney

[lunar comet]

mudsdale isn't forgotten as a horse

because being a horse is its only defining characteristic

[void sluice]

this one is more than a horse

[mild crescent]

Lol

[void sluice]

now now guys, y'all shouldn't discuss about it here, no?

[winter sparrow]

this is very important to spriting sharpedo i promise

[lunar comet]

i'm strategically distracting people from their sharpedo sprites in order to raise my chances of winning /s

[void sluice]

[grim ether]

i was going to make a sharpedo sprite but then i realized that goodra also made it in

soooo

[misty acorn]

nooo do the shark

[grim ether]

i still have my idea for sharpedo and carvanha/teddiursa

[mild crescent]

[modern kernel]

no contest for goodra line?

[near horizon]

Good night, day or wathever depending on your timezone!

[surreal yarrow]

That's how I felt about trubbish but hey I guess they can't fit in a contest for each one 😅

[cedar quest]

We have plans to loop back for Trubbish after the reveals

Gooda....not so much

[west canopy]

Gooda

[limpid sphinx]

its a cool idea tbh

[cedar quest]

Although I will say this

The """Trubbish"""" contest will not be just Trubbish

I guess moreso, we have a contest planned that will feature the Trubbish line in part of its theming?

[steel vortex]

Trash contest

[crude cedar]

If that's the case, then I'm going to make a Porygon-Z/Trubbish, with a specific Theme

[plucky crest]

Just wondering, where do submissions for the contest go (just wondering for when I get my spriter role)

[silk plank]

theres a drive link in the contest announcement

for ur contest sub

you dont need to be a spriter to submit things there

[plucky crest]

Ah alr, was just wondering if it was meant to be posted directly through there

[plucky crest]

Oh really?

Neat, thanks for tellin me

[silk plank]

yeah

anyone can participate so u can just make a sprite for it already

[plucky crest]

I'll start work on the silly feesh tomorrow

[ashen sapphire]

alright I finished my shark

that was fun

[thick jolt]

pollution contest?

[stable torrent]

@bleak crypt would it be alright if I use your garchomp base in the contest? If not its totally fine. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1094790320891371640/1129802263305654424/299a.png

[bleak crypt]

Go for it

[fading lodge]

I have a custom Charizard base if people want to use it. Just sayin.

[grim ether]

oh pretty

[icy jasper]

If a sprite has quite a bit too much dithering, would it be allowed in the contest? Especially if the effect fusion is surrounding the Pokémon, like smoke mist for example?

[fading lodge]

Dithering isn't highly smiled on by our sprite managers and staff (especially by Blaquaza), but it isn't a thing that'll disqualify you. Sometimes, like with smoke effects, it's okay. Just don't go too excessive. I'd post in #1050404143807873157 and ask if people thing the dithering is an acceptable amount.

[icy jasper]

Judging by that, I'm going to submit another sprite that doesn't have that much dithering in it because even I find one of the sprites that I want to submit has too much dithering

[grim ether]

dithering is kinda like pineapple on pizza you either love it or you hate it. personally i like it but it doesnt really work with the style of pokemon's sprites.

[silk plank]

i think dithering is a basic pixelart technique that is like really good and pretty fundamental but it just depends on the style and how u use it

i wouldnt really say u either love or hate it

its more like the kinda cheese u put on a pizza

[lunar comet]

dithering is fine if it works with the intended texture of a piece

if it's floof, grains, or leafs, dithering is fine

if it's plastic or metal, then no

[silk plank]

exactly

plastic can have different textures tho 🤓

[indigo ice]

sprites can have a little dithering

as a treat

[grim ether]

yeah, it depends on what youre using it for. personally my favorite thing to use dithering is with light. picrelated

[fading lodge]

Dithering is useful, but a tool to be used lightly, like something to accentuate certain aspects of your sprite.

Unrelated, I really love Pineapple on pizza.

[grim ether]

i hate it

[silk plank]

i dont think we should categorize dithering on certain materials because if ur crazy enough u can make it work for all of em, like this image lol

[grim ether]

im insane im cwazy

they locked me in a room a rubber room with rats. or something

[silk plank]

i think it depends 🤷‍♂️ for the pokemon style def tho

[icy jasper]

I'm just asking if gastly fusions are OK with the dithering from the gas clouds?

[fading lodge]

Post the sprite here so we can judge you.

[icy jasper]

is it fine to do so with your permission?

[fading lodge]

If you want to. Or you could link to your spritework thread.

[icy jasper]

okay then #1152790021150089236

[grim ether]

oh you were not lying thats a lot of dithering LOL

[steady pasture]

Btw, reference sprites typically don't score highly yeah? Asking becuz i'm wondering whether i should put more effort into the sprite or not, or leave it as is to go work on other concepts

[grim ether]

i thinkkk move to something else

its a good sprite, but kinda hard to tell its meant to be gura

that or i dont really watch vtubers anymore

[buoyant ore]

Does anyone know roughly how many pokemon are left to be anounced? I wanna know so if any starters still have a chance to get in

[plush vale]

never did after first few days, read pin 3 in #pif-hoenn-discussion

[buoyant ore]

Ah thx got it

[plush vale]

theres basically 4 unknowns

esides the drawing one

[buoyant ore]

So i guess that means a mon with a three stage evo could still be added. That leaves a lot of options still

[plush vale]

well not exactly

ask somebody in new to epxlain current sit with dex slots, it's possible but also maybe unlikely its a 3 line thing due to em skippin 4 numbers at once

[buoyant ore]

Ah I see

Just for fun if you had to guess who do you think is gonna be added next?

[plush vale]

lycanroc

[broken robin]

Zigzagoon

[plush vale]

only one that fits IF they didn't skip multiple mons and IF legendaries are last

[buoyant ore]

Im hoping for legendaries they add diancie or megearna

[grim ether]

shaymin...............................................................

we already have darkrai

[misty acorn]

Shaymin and darkrai aren't even counterparts lol

[quartz locust]

Judgement has been passed. 🙂

[plucky crest]

Isnt the counterpart crestelia

[quartz locust]

Yes, though it isn't in IF. 😢

I don't really want Legendaries to be added, but Cresselia's the one exception for me (and Diancie for Mythicals). 🙂

[fading lodge]

I'd like the Regis to go with Gigas, but that's a lot of mons.

[misty acorn]

with very little body type variation

[quartz locust]

And a lot of textures/details that would make sprites rather difficult. 😮

[fading lodge]

But it'd complete Gigas. only real upside

[misty acorn]

Let them stay cameos in some regigigas sprites

[fading lodge]

Well, if I were forced to choose new mons for the game, I think I've narrowed it down to two two-stage lines.

I say forced to choose because I ultimately am okay with any mons being added.

[cyan gull]

I think the oG regis would be fine

they're friends

and they open for a lot of interesting concepts

[steady pasture]

Been meaning to ask, do u penalize sprites for being references?
#event-general message

[misty acorn]

deoxys/steelix moment

[steady pasture]

u mean Onix

and ah... i see

as long as it's a good sprite, noted

[misty acorn]

and as long as it works without having to know the reference

[pastel hollow]

and you can tell what its a fusion of..
||sorry deoxys/onix you did not pass that check||

[quartz locust]

I don't, provided it fits well and still looks like an authentic fusion. 🙂

[steady pasture]

Noted

[limpid sphinx]

diancie can be so cool for some stuff

[wary canopy]

diancie is so fun to sprite

[limpid sphinx]

OH so youre a pirate now ribbon

☠️

[wary canopy]

i have always been sharpedo is jsut a good excuse to celebrate it

[limpid sphinx]

btw i had a good idea for a sharpedo fusion that maybe can involve team aqua there

can i dm you? x)

[wary canopy]

oh yeah ofc!

sorry for late response im doing spring cleaning (it is not spring)

[limpid sphinx]

excited for birthday results

i dont expect too much for my sprite since the last time that i expect i hit a bad place but i want to see what ppl cooked for the win

[sick herald]

yay more pirates

[wary canopy]

team aqua gang rise up 🏴‍☠️

[sick herald]

i went on a little mini pirate obsession before, then the new pokemon started getting announced and that stole my attention

[plucky crest]

Magma can go worship their little rock lizard or smth, aqua on top fr

[wary canopy]

I skipped the Foxy crap.

they ruined the foxy part in the anime by dragging it out waaaay to long

the end was very important tho

[void sluice]

the end was the friends we made on our journey 🙏

[sonic ledge]

pokemon battles are not fun

[plucky crest]

I'm too lonely not to

[dense jackal]

why is this in event general...

[strange obsidian]

Apologies if this is a silly question but why are Pokemon announced after the contest was announced not allowed in said contest

[buoyant ore]

they're not? i thought that they were

that's what i did for the birthday one

[strange obsidian]

Trubbish wasn’t allowed for the Oricorio contest and Goomy isn’t allowed for the Sharpedo contest

[buoyant ore]

i thought that meant they weren't doing a contest centralized on those mons because they came out while the contest on the previous mons were happening

[plush vale]

avoid disadvatage on those starting later or splitting focus prob

they might be liable to get a lot o the reusltant combos whichd defeat some of purpose of contest too

[misty acorn]

goomy...

[strange obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-goomy-gif-22648185

[strange obsidian]

Ah I see, thanks

[plucky crest]

he looks edible, I love him

[plush vale]

cheese

[strange obsidian]

So true

[plucky crest]

shiny goomy is honestly my fav shiny psuedo

which says a lot when shiny metagross exists

[plush vale]

cries in shiny garchomp

[plucky crest]

garchomp would be so good if it had shiny gible's colours

[plush vale]

eh not a fan of that either even if its at least different

make it like beta chomp maybe

[limpid sphinx]

👁️

[winter sparrow]

i once did a Garbage where I just swapped the colors of that line with Axew's line

i should really really remake the garchomp one

[runic ruin]

Working on a Sharpedo/Lugia for the contest…
I have yet to do the outlines, but any thoughts or feedback on how this looks so far? 👀
(The SFX will probably be relegated to alt status but )

[silk plank]

great

[indigo ice]

ij my mouth (AMAZING)

[limpid sphinx]

i love that one so much

[rough talon]

this is really good ut i agree so hard with teh sfx being an alt

not a big fan of it

its already sooo solid

Wow what the hell this is beautiful 🤩

Oh man, I need to go to sleep so bad now

[plucky crest]

Holy cow that is amazing. Love the little carvanas in the back too

[raven pulsar]

i love the basking shark one

[sick herald]

contest winner leaked?

[quartz locust]

I dunno, I've seen a lot of really good Sharpedo fusions so far in #1050404143807873157. Everyone's really putting their best foot forward. 🙂

[misty acorn]

I think quality wise the new mon with the most amazing sprites we've gotten has been trevenant for sure

the goomy line has yet to prove itself on the other hand ngl...

[steady pasture]

I just made a reference fusion and called it a day lol
There's just too many bad ass sprites to compete against

[midnight pumice]

Post the sfx as the main one on #sprite-gallery, and the regular one for the contest

[earnest jacinth]

The real question is: which suits her better? Black or white one?🤔

[dense jackal]

Noooooo, sfx secondary. No sfx main 😤

[silk plank]

whoops

[plucky arch]

wow only 1/4th of the entries are carvanha

[vestal token]

What are these carvanhas doing in the sharpedo contest?

[plucky arch]

[limpid sphinx]

i wanted to do a carvanha head for the contest but someone did my idea

now im gonna try a sharpedo body

and btw

birthday results when 😭

[vestal token]

I'll try to think of a carvanha one but I just really don't like its colors lol

[plucky arch]

2 havent voted and were still figuring out how to weigh votes

hopefully tomorrow but no promises

[dense jackal]

If the score was an average rating, rather than a total, I'd say just put in the VIP's votes a number of times equal to 1/3rd of the voters

[plucky arch]

score is calculated weird and doesnt like anything other then 0-5 whole numbers

im going to complain about it to kiwi once everyone has finished and let them figure it out since they made it first

[dense jackal]

Huh... Without an average (or the ability to use not-whole numbers) I don't really know how you'd weight a vote...
Unless the VIP can just vote from 0 to 15 or something 😛

Yeah actually. The more I think about it giving the VIP a larger scale so they can just say "I really want this to win" is probably the best (that I can think of). Multiplying their score after the fact means their 1 could mean as much as someone else's 5 and they probably don't want that 😛

[quartz locust]

But I already voted... 😂

[limpid sphinx]

who left

jk

[vestal token]

Do we lose points for incorporating details from megas?

[plucky arch]

depends on the voter really

[limpid sphinx]

if youre the voter?

[quartz locust]

For me, it depends on how much. 😅

[limpid sphinx]

hypothetically speaking, lets say its the mega sceptile's tail in a sprite where sceptile is the head

obviously hypothetically.......................

not my case..................

[undone crag]

Quick question: Do we have an estimate on birthday contest results? Only asking because I usually wait to post any contest entries to gallery until after the contest itself even if I've finished it just in case bonus feedback can be obtained.

So if it's likely a couple weeks or more I might just post now.

[limpid sphinx]

tee said that a few messages ago

#event-general message

[undone crag]

Thank you I can't read clearly lol

[limpid sphinx]

dw 🙂

[dense jackal]

Since discussion of contest sprites is not allowed, I will provide one that may be used to discuss over/under use of mega-features (so no-one has to break any rules) 😛

[misty acorn]

stray pixel bottom right end of the wing

also double black outline on the head whats up with that

https://tenor.com/view/barack-obama-what-whats-up-with-that-confused-gif-15111523

[dense jackal]

Yeah for real 😮
That seems odd. I don't remember that being there, and if it was - why'd they give me spriter role no questions asked 😆

Nope, was definitely always there... guess I'll have to make a #1052360360172199977 post and get that fixed

[limpid sphinx]

lol and i just remembered that after the results we gonna need to have another votes to decide the pfp

birthday contest winner pfp is gonna be on the server for 2 days lol

F

[cyan gull]

[plucky arch]

sharpedo contest results will prolly be later then

[odd garnet]

What do you think is better
Sharpedo/Roserade in a posing like a shark

Or torpedos in the Roses?

[steady pasture]

What does posing like a shark with a humanoid body entail? At least show a quick sketch or something

[gleaming sand]

A or B?

WHY are they rotated

Ffs

(The teeth are the only difference)

this is a suprisingly simple design for my standards

[limpid sphinx]

B

[gleaming sand]

thanks

very helpful

[steady pasture]

They look nearly identical tbh

[gleaming sand]

definitely not

the teeth are very different

[steady pasture]

Oh, A then

[plush vale]

forgot that, can't believe nobody responded with it here #1152721122907926539 message

[steady pasture]

since i suspect when coverting to pixel art, A's teeth will be easier to present

[gleaming sand]

that's why i made it

[cloud solstice]

reminds me a lot of this guy from dragon quest

[misty acorn]

Gotta love Dragon Quest

[cloud solstice]

sharpedo/rayquaza could work well for a ref alt

I'm surprised there isn't a sharpedo/rayquaza made yet

[gleaming sand]

Oh wow

I have never seen that before lmao

[cloud solstice]

well now you have

it was one of my fav when I played DQ monster joker

[misty acorn]

the 1st or 2nd one?

(on the ds I imagine btw lol)

[cloud solstice]

both I think? I remember well playing the first but I don't remember clearly if I played the 2

[misty acorn]

I only ever played the 2nd

with the huge monsters

[grand tusk]

gasp

a joker player

I played all 3

[grand tusk]

the giant monster theme was a banger fr fr

also 2 was way better then 1, I went back to 1 after playing 2 and it was so much more of a slog

[sly shuttle]

I’m going to sprite this for my contest submission, any notes or general improvements?

[buoyant ore]

is it carvannah or sharpedo fusion?

[sly shuttle]

Carvanha

I’ll definitely add more colors for the flowers

[buoyant ore]

perhaps you can incorporate the fins into a side tutu(?) I forget what its called lol. Like a half skirt only on the sides of the legs

[zealous pendant]

Carvanha's star is 4 pointed like sharpedo (I know because I made the same mistake)

[plush vale]

coulda beena deliberate change

[zealous pendant]

I mean, it certainly could

If it is then idk what about roserade gave em 5 pointed star but more power to em

[plush vale]

just a general styley acessory'y feel idk

[heady moat]

... Whoops

[misty acorn]

same for me, couldnt get into it

[grand tusk]

3 was decent but I think 2 is the best of the joker series. Shame there's no way to play 2 professional

excited for the new DQM game on the switch?

[misty acorn]

never played 3

[misty acorn]

Not really sure, I think its a remake of a gameboy one one something, right?

[grand tusk]

3 professional never got translated, but I played it on my 3DS Legally and without using anything bad. Hahaha.

[grand tusk]

Pretty sure its a full on brand new game

[misty acorn]

oh then thats pretty exciting

might get it, not 100% sure tho its been years since I played one of these

[plush vale]

yeah its a sequel

[misty acorn]

but a sequel to some older monsters games and not the ds ones then?

[grand tusk]

its actually a prequel to the original Dragon Quest 4

so unrelated to any other DQM games it seems

[azure lava]

Dragon quest monsters joker 2 was goated back in the day, I remember finding the profesional version and was so upset we never got an official port

I played 3 online idk if I ever played 3 professional, it was cool with new monsters and updated graphics and mechanics ofc, but I just couldn’t get into it for some reason

Like the area progression of 1 and 2 was much more engaging, I really liked island hopping in 1

I always kinda liked how certain things about the games were shrouded in mystery given the English version didn’t really have the full context/community popularity it did in Japan, you’d have to like go on YouTube and find 144p videos of secrets and stuff

I miss Kenshin1913 LPing them 😔

[misty acorn]

yeah the air of mystery was definetly huge

a friend of mine and a cousin of mine played it too and we always exchanged rumors of which mons to fuse to get one of the giant monsters and stuff like that

big dissapointment when the giant worm turned out to be a D rank xD

[grand tusk]

why was wormonger D rank smh

I had the synthesis list open at all times, slowly working my way to getting X ranks

or SS

[misty acorn]

Its english name was wormonger?

I think the german one was Der Schlengler or smth like that

[grand tusk]

yep

english names are always super dumb puns

[misty acorn]

yeah I like that

[grand tusk]

the big flying purple lion

was the missing lynx

[misty acorn]

In german too most of the time I think

[grand tusk]

also incarnus

remember the little white tiger thing from the first game?

[azure lava]

Omg the incarnus in the sequel was absurd I don’t know how ppl got all the OP fusions of it

I got orochi by fusing all the giants together and never looked back

[misty acorn]

never got far in the 1st one

[azure lava]

Just read the plot summary of 3 and 3 prof. Holy shit those games really don’t make sense, like they’re in the same universe apparently and that’s just supposed to be an understood thing

Sadly it looks like a lot of the OP endgame fusions are locked behind unobtainable monsters because wifi events and street pass are long gone, and I doubt people have gotten into hacking or modding that game

[misty acorn]

I remember these games having 0 cheats on action replay, yeah

[worthy turtle]

does anyone know when judging for the birthday contest will be finished?

[misty acorn]

yes

[subtle moss]

Next question

[sly gorge]

It's been 6 days

Has there been any sort of vote for this contest yet?

I must've missed something if it's been almost a week at this point

[cyan gull]

[pearl latch]

They're probably busy
I'm sure it takes a while to do these things, and they have personal and maybe work lives on top of this.
They've also been working very hard recently with all the contests they're giving us
The results will come in due time :)

[sick herald]

once again i am feeling quite conncerned about my chances for the contest

every time i think i have smth good, my hopes get crushed by someone else's talent

[cunning zinc]

Yea I get that

Feeling a bit of an uh oh about the other Magcargo Shark

[sick herald]

the smoke stack one?

that one looks sick

[sly gorge]

Same here but instead the hopes get crushed by the judges lol

[cunning zinc]

Yea that wasn't me

💀

||or not, please gamr vote||

[slender thunder]

omg i might be able to change my submission

I dont really like my current one

[limpid sphinx]

show me

[ashen sapphire]

If you use Magcargo/Sharpedo and Nidoking/Nidoqueen you have Lava Shark and Boy Girl

[slender thunder]

This one (it was made from scratch lol)

[odd garnet]

I'm having trouble thinking of Shark related Flowers

[slender thunder]

some sea plant

[plucky arch]

the Shark Tooth Cactus' Flower

[odd garnet]

A cactus?

For a Shark?

Nah that's for Garchomp

LOL

Maybe I should make an imaginary plant

[plucky arch]

i mean its called a Shark Tooth Cactus 🤷

you could do the Convulvulus tricolor

it has a pallet similar to sharpedo

[limpid sphinx]

nice refs fr

[limpid sphinx]

:0

[odd garnet]

It's just not... Shark enough 🤔

[odd garnet]

I think I'll use this

But I'll modify the petals

So they'd look sharp

I'm so tempted to add a Shark Tail...

[limpid sphinx]

do it >:)

[plucky arch]

but sharpedo doesnt have a tail

[limpid sphinx]

i think its okay to ask for feedback here too, itsm y contest entry
any feedback appreciated #1154077736051150890

[limpid sphinx]

cruel truth

[plucky arch]

everyone adding tails to sharpedos:

[misty acorn]

eww tail

[ashen sapphire]

sharpedo head and a fish with a tail for the body :)

[pearl moth]

Is this where you put the sharpedos fusions? Kinda made one for the contest earlier but didn't know where to put it or well submit it. Figured I'd give this contest a shot.

[misty acorn]

read #event-announcements

[limpid sphinx]

when tyrantrum have a really big tail i think that is good 😄
