event-general

[agile oar]

Not sure if this is the place to ask but, is there a full and updated list of which fusions have already been made for the game? I usually use the Daena site but, it's missing the last 41 pokémon added to the game

[plucky crest]

Just search for a fusion's dex number (eg 1.52) in sprite gallery and see if it comes up

[short verge]

...is hitmonler, what's so bad about that?

[lusty crystal]

Fusion generaters remove the mon

[short verge]

oh.

I just thought it was always hitmon as the starter

[void sluice]

yeah

if it was hitmonler, it would be cool 🙏

[fallen hearth]

I mean. I kinda found a barrel. But its abarel. Close enough

[icy jasper]

Considering how sandygast and pallosand are, well, made of sand and are similar to each other; would a pallosand head fusion have more sand than a sandygast fusion?

[dense jackal]

That's odd... why isn't that in the pack yet...?

unless you use month/day/year dates...?

[errant yarrow]

September sprites are added at the end of October

[dense jackal]

Well that looks like a July sprite to me

[zealous pendant]

It's month day year

[dense jackal]

[uncut shadow]

yall forgot to put them in the #contest-gallery

[slow gyro]

Lol @plucky arch

[limpid sphinx]

nobody hear me 😭😭

[plucky arch]

@cedar quest you do it

[cedar quest]

do wha

the triple drag gallery post?

Dude literally just go to edit message of that OG, and copy paste it

@plucky arch

Don't tell me you've been typing it twice this whole time

Actually no

You don't gotta do nothing

I can literally just Right-Click, copy text

Tada

[plucky arch]

i dont have access to computer rn for the image

[crimson rover]

which are the ongoing events?

[plucky arch]

rn its the Trev Rush, Bonus Blitz, and Little Cup Voting

[crimson rover]

where is bonus blitz?

so, these new pokemons will not have a proper event?

[plucky arch]

not in the way of a contest, no, but the Bonus Blitz is their contest

[crimson rover]

oh, I get it

[graceful plank]

fuckin US dates lol

[plucky arch]

i have formed a toxic relationship with contests

i miss them, they cause me pain and yet i miss them 😔

[thorny saddle]

could always select one random server member to run a contest

[little cypress]

I'm just not competitive enough to care that much about contests. I love them because of the amazing stuff we get from them though

[plucky arch]

i miss running them

they cause me pain and yet i miss it

ive been stockholmed

[thorny saddle]

surprise 1 day contest...?

[little cypress]

That's an entirely different thing, you are clearly a masochist 🤣😂

[plucky arch]

i miss, the contests
i miss the song
since shes not with me
it comes out wrong
it doesnt matter, how hard i try
ive lost the music, i dont know why 😔

[steady pasture]

i'm glad to have a break...

super burnt out after everything

[gleaming sand]

The blitz is killing me tbh

[plucky crest]

I think I've done like 1

[plush vale]

theres still 11 days left, some people been going for finish each day

[cyan gull]

That was my original goal, but work and burnout had other plans in mind

[plush vale]

burnout sems foreseeable there

[tranquil fable]

I was doing basically it get announced 1 day and I sprite the fusion(s) the next day, but I kinda ran out of ideas ;-;

I still need to do Amaura and Aurorus...

[plush vale]

fuse em with litwick?

[tranquil fable]

Body has already been done, I might do either Litwick head or Swinub head (since I recently got into Team Swinub)

Correction: Amaura/Litwick and Litwick/Amaura have already been done, there have been no Litwick/Aurorus fusions

[rough edge]

gl! loving all the amaura/aurorus fusions coming out from the blitz

[worthy turtle]

alright, ill ask you here. @quartz locust , i did this Marshtomp/Blaziken for your contest and it only got a 3.5. Could you explain why? it didnt in the spreadsheet.

not sorely upset, just dont understand why i scored so badly

[quartz locust]

I don't know what 3.5 means because I didn't know half points were a thing, but the reason it'd get a low mark is because it's quite plain. It's still got Blaziken's face with few Marshtomp features other than the palette. 😅

[limber venture]

what base is this? is it preexisting or did you make it just for this?

those legs are wildly different lengths

[worthy turtle]

I made it

[worthy turtle]

A lot of the scores were like ones or twos so I assumed that meant it was bad. Thank you for the clarification

[worthy turtle]

Thank you. No one pointed that out when I posted it in sprite work initially

[dense jackal]

The lower part of blaziken's right leg is much closer to the camera, so you can argue that it's bigger because of fun perspective. So I don't think you want to make them exactly the same size. (But it wouldn't hurt if they were closer in size either)

[pastel hollow]

also the compression would be on the leg on the right and momentum would give some visual stretch (perhaps hair drag) on the kicking leg. so it's not that bad

it's just a very plain sprite imo

[worthy turtle]

Gotcha. I already posted it a while ago

[limber venture]

nothing about the rest of the sprite would imply perspective like that. perspective doesnt just make things longer it makes them larger

[worthy turtle]

I just wanted to know why it didn't score well

[devout hare]

Shading is also fairly flat with some black outlines where they shouldn't be, like the top of the arm on the left

[worthy shuttle]

I want digimon sprite contest

[worthy shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/digimon-greymon-gif-19754717

[arctic garnet]

Sounds like you had not gotten particularly useful feedback in spritework, either. That happens sometimes.

[little cypress]

I'd say that's happening more and more, at least in my experience. People can't take actual feedback so someone like me just stops giving it. 🤷‍♂️

[lusty crystal]

Whether you get feedback or not is basically a popularity contest. The more popular someone is on the server, the more feedback they get

[cloud solstice]

that or if your thumbnail sprite have a very obvious issue

[steel vortex]

That's what I look for ahaha, I go through spritework and #is-my-sprite-ready and see if something has a ton of errors, or if I just really like the idea lol

[zealous pendant]

I don't think I've ever looked at who made a thread before choosing to give feedback. IMO, The amount of feedback you get is dependent on a lot of factors but some of the most important is how good your sprite looks (a bell curve, where middling sprites get little feedback, and the worse or better they are technically, the more feedback they get) and if you have people you can go to to get feedback from, which is about popularity but in a good way.

You've got it almost backwards. The better quality your sprites are the more feedback you get (in my experience) and the more feedback you get the more people you meet. Technically making you more 'popular'

[limpid sphinx]

when i really see that i need feedback in a sprite that i did i put that in spritework, in #is-my-sprite-ready , i search if both mons have a team thread to send there too, if is for a contest i send here and i send to ppl that i have in my friend list to take a look if they can, and i ping the feedbackpls at least 3 times

[cloud solstice]

after the contest meta, the feedback meta

[little cypress]

That wasn't how I gave feedback, I would actually give it to any and all sprites where I either could give any opinion or if I could see ways to improve, esthetically or from a technical standpoint.
However, I would not give feedback to people I knew were not open to it. And that list has grown a lot recently. I have subsequently been giving less feedback 🤷‍♂️

[zealous pendant]

I mean, I can't make you, and I know not having your feedback listened to sucks, but obstinate people are the most important people to give feedback to. They need to get used to it

[little cypress]

Obstinance isn't an issue. When they start personally attacking you and then going into other sprite threads for other creators and do the same, with impunity, that's a problem.
There's also the most common comment I've seen which is to make claims that anyone who doesn't actually make sprites shouldn't give feedback and should just shut up because they don't know anything. That's ignorance and prejudice, pure and simple.
But I've found the biggest detractor in general is when the quality of the feedback is judged based in the individual giving said feedback, not the feedback itself. This ties into the spriter/non-spriter issue but it's more than that, too.

[zealous pendant]

Yeah, classism is a bit of an issue here huh? Well, I'm always happy to receive feedback from white-names as long as it's good. I have however witnessed many a non-spriter give either non-helpful feedback or actively bad feedback. I don't blame people for being wary. Minus some spriters that are just doing it to be terrible. Spriter feedback is usually helpful even if it's very rude. In the end.... Stereotypes bad.

[slow gyro]

Did you hear about the goblin that got his left arm and left leg cut off?

It's okay, he's all right now

https://tenor.com/view/jake-jake-the-dog-funny-laugh-laughing-gif-5372688

[hexed mica]

After all the goblin drama we've had this week too

[rapid knot]

I tried to count to ten, but only said 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
Honestly, I can't even today

[plush vale]

that's odd

[heavy furnace]

I just went to the Spriting Votes and they removed all the legendaries

[plush vale]

🥓🐦 🌈 🦌

[plush vale]

I would say if they were gonna do that they def should've bene clear about it upfront before people dedicated time for votes

[heavy furnace]

I honestly only did some of those sprites to vote for 1 legendary and I can't even do that

[errant yarrow]

this is truely a bruh moment

[heavy furnace]

🦟

[plush vale]

@tall moss this intentional?

[errant yarrow]

this best legend ||wurmple || is still in the vote

[heavy furnace]

I'm genuinely upset, I feel like my time has been wasted for nothing

[errant yarrow]

nah you made some great sprites, the Duskull and Regi sprites are so good

Regi is especially clever

[steel vortex]

I mean, maybe they plan to add all Legends just like starters anyways lol

[plush vale]

shoulda removed em from voting then early on

[heavy furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[steel vortex]

That... yeah

Although, I mean maybe those votes still count? This is a different voting entirely

[heavy furnace]

But I did all that because I wanted one mon, I don't really care about the ones in this vote

[zealous pendant]

As far as I'm concerned (even though I really would have liked Meloetta) The legendaries are kinda not the best picks for the vote imo

[steel vortex]

I do feel they'll get their own thing hopefully

[tall moss]

yis, frogman said he doesnt want to have to rush pokemon like legendaries in, if they were added they would deserve time and effort and cool events, which they wouldnt get if theyre a poll winner, so he asked they not be included in the spriter's vote

copy paste from what i said in #pif-hoenn-discussion

[plush vale]

wouldve been good to let people know in advanced so nobody felt tricked into doing the rush though

[errant yarrow]

tricked is an interesting choice of words

[broken robin]

Well, this gives you a great opportunity to vote for zigzagoon

[tall moss]

would have been but it wasnt decided until an hour ago when i finalized the poll

[plush vale]

tricked in that it's how I could see somebody feeling, if they put a lot of time an enregy into the blitz stuff sepciically to try to get a legendary in

[plush vale]

does this apply to the drawing pick too then?

[tall moss]

not sure

[heavy furnace]

At least we know that now so anyone else who was doing this for a legendary specifically doesn't rush to finish by the 20th just to not be able to vote for what they wanted

[tall moss]

they can vote for bruxish instead

[heavy furnace]

I voted Among Us

[plush vale]

so if the spriters pick something thats in the remaining 4, do we just pick 1 down from normal votes or does it go to next main pick for spriter?

[open folio]

Does it say anywhere where the deadline for voting is? (I’ve already got mine basically, but just wondering for others)

[plush vale]

at least would be 20th though would be ood to let people know exactly if thy needa reserve timeto pick

[zealous pendant]

Probably the 20th, yeah

[tall moss]

yis same for the contest winner drawing, thatll probs be picked first and if it was the poll winner, we'll pick the next one down

or it could be the other way round idk

[heavy furnace]

I think the collective first makes more sense IMO

[buoyant ore]

Voting for vanillish rn

[graceful plank]

hmm I ended up voting 0-1 on most of the entries, still hoping for my couple bois though

[cedar quest]

Don't forget to seminar tomorrow!!!

[plush vale]

horse seminar leak

[hollow grove]

WOO i been waiting for this one, need to up my quadruped fusion game

[hollow grove]

ok so for the next seminar tho - HANDS, PLEASE

[buoyant ore]

Personally I'd like a lesson on special effects like lightning and fire

[pastel hollow]

i don't think horses have hands joanna

[hollow grove]

AFTER the horses, horses with hands is a terrifying concept

[buoyant ore]

centaurs have hands

[uncut shadow]

Im thinking on making a seminar about fire

[sturdy mulch]

feet seminar?

hey, I own 6TB of feet pics, I should be pretty good at this

[radiant condor]

[pearl latch]

Does anyone know why I can never open the forms links? I want to participate in the sprite vote, but when I try to open it, it says "invalid response"

I've tried googling the problem but I'm not every tech savvy, so I don't really understand the results

[misty acorn]

have you tried opening the blue link in the text and not the box below the message?

[pearl latch]

Yeah, I tried both quite a few times
Also tried pasting the link on my browser, and tried both mobile and PC

[misty acorn]

Seems like the... poll's closed

[near horizon]

Here's my blitz completionist for the moment (blue background = WIP)

[plush vale]

needs more crabs

or trapinch

[near horizon]

nah, i won't use 🦀 for the blitz

that's my goal

[plush vale]

trapinch then

[near horizon]

nah, i don't think i'll use chomp boy

[placid briar]

do you have an empty one of those?

[near horizon]

but not here

got it

I scrolled up so far down until you said where

Thakns!

Working on Amaura right now

imagine my shock when no one has made Paradox Raikou yet

to be fair, that can now instead be allocated to Aurorus

Your's good, hero's great, don't compare to hero, he master spriter

[placid briar]

This is the first time im spriting outside of granbull

in awhile that is

I didn’t got ping but I was named

#announcements message

[young plover]

By the way, I'm worried about doing something wrong if/when pinging a mod, but I remember someone talking about the idea that the Bonus Blitz wouldn't allow reference sprites (As an inferance of their own based off of the standards of Spriter Applications)
If a reference sprite accomplishes the job of still being a fusion of the two Pokemon, does that count? (Granted, I'm still not verifiable for the Bonus Blitz, but hey, my application's in so there's a chance :D)

[plucky crest]

I'm pretty sure ref sprites are allowed

There's nothing in the rules that says they aren't

[young plover]

Good point!

[plucky crest]

And most people agree that they are

I'm doing a sandyghast/diglett thats just shiny wiglett

[young plover]

Thx for the reassurance!

[young plover]

Nice!

[near horizon]

i never saw something against ref sprite, so for me it's all good

[young plover]

Thanks for the confirmation!!!

[near horizon]

it's not really a confirmation, it's just that i never saw anything against it, but anyways, if you doubt about something in an event, always ask the person that made the event (usually the person that posted in #event-announcements or #announcements)

[young plover]

Ahh I see

In that case, @tall moss Howdy! Are reference sprites allowed for the Big Bonus Blitz? And to what extent?

Oh, another question to anyone since I saw that we can vote in advance,
the Discord username in the Google Form for me would be JoelTheParrot, right? not joeltheparrot or JoelTheParrot (Likes References) right?

[dense jackal]

No, it's the lowercase one. The one that is consistent across all servers and has nothing to do with changing your nickname

[young plover]

OK, thank you!

[tall moss]

ye references are allowed

[young plover]

Yay, thank you!!

[acoustic rampart]

I wanna sprite now but I forgot to bring my mouse with me. Should I try with a mousepad

[young plover]

I've sprited with my trackpad before. The part I need my drawing tablet for is the sketching section, that's part of why I'm doing all of my sketches for the Bonus Blitz at once

[acoustic rampart]

Ill try later then

For my Blitz submission

[young plover]

Yahoo!

[wraith notch]

Finally saw where I scored in the birthday contest. I'm a little disappointed...

[wraith notch]

Apologies for the late response, but @quartz locust , I did this sprite, but it was rated rather poorly. No commentary was given, so I would like to know where I went wrong.

[runic ruin]

I actually have a question too, come to think of it. What are the rules for the Blitz regarding collabs? Does it count for both people who collaborated, just one, or not at all?

[tall moss]

the person who uploads the collab will get the point

[runic ruin]

Okay, good!

[tall moss]

the bot i use to download sprites just separates em in folders named after the user who uploaded em then i have a script that counts the blitz sprites

[misty acorn]

kiwi evolved from docs nerd into script nerd

[tall moss]

i made frogman code it for me

[fading lodge]

For funsies, here is my Blitz chart.

[echo barn]

I wonder what the theme was

good night, day or whatever depending on your time zone !

there's only 4 days left for the blitz

[young plover]

If I thought forgetting was a hint for any Pokemon they'd be Elgyem and Beeheyem, because those two Pokemon are considered some of the most forgettable Pokemon and yet still have good fusion material

[cloud solstice]

Maybe they took out the least popular one?

[young plover]

NO
NOT THE MONKEYS

[dawn prairie]

this was a chat(ot)
Gadzooks ive cracked this very real code

[young plover]

YEEEEEES THE BEST POKEMON!!

The lineart just looks a little awkward, and the left arm has almost entirely black outline. The ice stinger lacks black outline, and looks awkwardly connected. 😅

[acoustic rampart]

Im getting really into making Skarmory fusions, will try to do the blitz ones with Skarmory parts

[fading lodge]

Team Pikachu must be maintained.

[runic ruin]

Finally got around to making my own Blitz chart!
(Man, that’s a lot of head fusions!)

[subtle moss]

I should make one of these

[plucky crest]

Indirectly just gave me an idea for my next sprite

The murkrow (?) Pallosand reminded me of how much I like honchkrow

And I'm now doing whirlipede/honchkrow

[little cypress]

Swirly whirly hat boy?

[icy owl]

I want to make my own blitz chart, is there a blank one I can download?

[icy owl]

Thank you

[fallen light]

got my blitz chart done

[subtle moss]

screw it I'll quickly put my own together

Here we go.

For some I did multiple in the line, but these are my favs of each.

[cloud solstice]

I love the aurorus and the toxapex lines

[zealous pendant]

Cacnea and Cacturne /Dugtrio are funny little guys

[subtle moss]

Out of these, my least favorite is probably the Bewear/Electrode because it's so simple.

Also I only did one fusion where the Blitz Pokémon is the body. Huh.

[cloud solstice]

the sandygast isn't a body?

[subtle moss]

...Oh right it is

Derp

Palossand too

[cloud solstice]

I did mostly head too, but still some bodies

[limpid sphinx]

vote for lycanroc blitz guys

ofc if you want and if you can x)

[near horizon]

yes but cabine's one is better imho

[cyan gull]

The tool got confused at Hawlucha/Bewear lol

[devout hare]

Looks like it adds a sprite wherever it fits and doesn't check if the spot's already taken

[low badger]

what tool is this 👀

[devout hare]

https://infinitedummies.fr/ by snrasha. There's also a thread for it in projects

[brave delta]

Am sorry, about the blitz charts, how do you come up with what to use for fusions? Do you guys decide for yourselves? Or you just use some kind of random picker?

[low badger]

for the blitz fusions, at least one half has to be a pokemon announced during the blitz (as named on the chart), the other can be any pokemon in IF - i usually decide based on which pokemon i think could easily incorporate elements from one mon into another, like bellossom's flower skirt as toxapex's "shield"

[brave delta]

Okay! Yeah the ones already in the chart if figured should be mandatory, as for the other half I was a bit confused haha but that makes total sense as for what should you use to pick up the other half of the fusion. Thanks for the explanation 😁

[low badger]

chart generator does not like my gloomeanie line for some reason

[sly shuttle]

You could also force yourself to fuse all of the Blitz mons with one thing like Nakamagic

[low badger]

[odd ice]

When it says October 20th as the deadline, what timezone? 👀

[limpid sphinx]

maybe you should add a timer message, @tall moss

just to evite a future confusion lol

[tall moss]

dunno, ill download the sprites on the 21st when i have the time, so probs the end of 20th + a few hours or a lot of hours depending on timezone

[odd ice]

ah ok, that gives me some extra time

[devout hare]

Could do 21st midnight your timezone as a rough estimate for a time stamp

[odd ice]

Ye! Was afraid it would be during the 20th in my timezone haha

[tall moss]

itll be after the end of the 20th in all timezones for sure

[little cypress]

Aren't you one of the earliest timezones anyway?

[tall moss]

im on EST, every non-americas continent is before my timezone

[little cypress]

Ah, OK. So not even close I'M FIRED 🤣😂

[steel vortex]

New Moon needs it's Fullmoon
Tbh idrc either, but nice colours ahaha
True

[cloud solstice]

I want it for the color, the body and also bc darkrai is in

[limpid sphinx]

cresselia colors are so soft its like a satisfying head mon fr

[steel vortex]

So so nice that palette

[cloud solstice]

I want to do an altaria/cresselia bc people don't talk much about the body
although I can understand since the head would be great

[steel vortex]

And the shiny👀

[steel vortex]

Ok but that works so well!

[open folio]

Dhelmise/Cresselia could be fun

[steel vortex]

mmmm Ho-oh and Cresselia I shall think on it

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-flower-umbrella-gif-8995668

[steel vortex]

Florges Sp.Def go crazy, good head/body potential, underrated imo

[sturdy mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/manaphy-sleeping-manaphy-flight-no-more-battles-gif-23118370

manaphy time?

[steel vortex]

Yay infinite Phione

[cloud solstice]

I like manaphy, but if it's added, phione will probably follow

https://tenor.com/view/victini-pokémon-victini-cute-gif-26750260

my fav mystical

[limpid sphinx]

cute but well, probably never in if poor baby

[low badger]

https://tenor.com/view/skiddo-gif-5097647

[cloud solstice]

yeah, I think mystical have a low chance to get in

[steel vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/shaymin-pokemon-flower-gracidea-sleeping-gif-16355287

Shaymin is my bb, ride or die

[cloud solstice]

I would definitively be happy if shaymin gets in

[low badger]

shaymin head would be the most adorable fusions... pink flowers

[cloud solstice]

I have a plushie of it

[sturdy mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/stealing-robbery-kidnapping-pokemon-shaymin-gif-9035330672242882900

gone

[cloud solstice]

noooo

[steel vortex]

I had one of Ditto Shaymin my bf gave me, but I can't find it 😭

[twin locust]

I'm sorry for your loss

[near horizon]

But we have Arceus (yes, Arceus is a mythical) and Darkrai

[cloud solstice]

I mean among the new pokemon added

[hollow grove]

Altaria/cresselia would be GORGEOUS, like an elegant swan queen

[plush vale]

wouldnt ya want swanna for that

[surreal yarrow]

hi can someone tell me, is the blitz open until the END of Oct 20th? like what time zone?

[limpid sphinx]

nobody knows

[vast jay]

EST

[surreal yarrow]

thanks frogman!!

[plush vale]

huh thought kiwi said earlier it'd be all time zones, maybe changed since then

[limpid sphinx]

frogo can u put a timer on a annoucement or something like that? as evenet managers usually do in contests deadlines

[vast jay]

I have no idea how to do that ngl

[open folio]

Do the vote submissions also have the same deadline?

[limpid sphinx]

i think that i just learned lol lemme test
<t:1697864399:d>

<t:1697864399:F>

huh, funny

[plush vale]

thats not est accountin for daylight savings

[limpid sphinx]

oh

[plush vale]

use edt

[worthy turtle]

Welp, couldn't do everything, but I got pretty far!

[dense jackal]

made with mematic

God I wish that aurorus was my idea...

That's fantastic

[worthy turtle]

Thanks. I use mematic as my general photo editor, ok?

[dense jackal]

It's just a little funny to me that a spriter (someone with access to drawing software) needs to use a website that adds a signature to make a chart 😛

That's obviously not a problem though. Whatevers the nicest process for you is the best choice

[young plover]

ok, so 1 day 15 hours 37 minutes? do i have that right?

[plucky crest]

Just bout

[limpid sphinx]

so close!

[worthy turtle]

I know, right?

[limpid sphinx]

you dont gonna try to make the rest? maybe you can 😄

[worthy turtle]

I probably won't be finished with the editing process by tomorrow

[short verge]

This is as much as I was able to accomplish during the blitz. Not bad, though. That's six sprites.

bewear/stufful was a headache to revise

and i couldn't be more proud of my aurorus fusion

the winter child can do no wrong

[upper sonnet]

@devout hare Ping me, when there is this problem. Otherwise, yeah, forget to check that, ah ah

But anyways, this link will dissapear tomorrow

[cyan gull]

[upper sonnet]

But fixed on the website, probably, i do not have any sprites for try

[near horizon]

it won't be a x12 but a x9 vote power, it's still a great thing, right ?

[misty acorn]

depends on what it is used for

[near horizon]

i already voted, like instant after the announcement was done x)

[misty acorn]

same

[gaunt sigil]

This is mine and I’m working on my last one

[misty acorn]

[near horizon]

are they all valids ?

[gaunt sigil]

I think

[near horizon]

the boxes are meant for 288x288 so if it goes outside of a box it means it's not in 288x288

but they're great

[gaunt sigil]

I accidentally made the grid too small and just let it go lol

[near horizon]

[dusty owl]

Not sure if this is the right channel for it, but how does the spriter's choice poll work?

Like the votes

[potent canopy]

you choose how many votes you give to each line (from 0 to 3)

and all your votes are multiplied by the amount of blitz sprites you did

(If I'm not wrong lol)

[dusty owl]

Ohh

I wasn't sure if it was like "you vote for as many lines as you did sprites for" or something

Thanks

[cyan gull]

I can test it gamer

[near horizon]

that's it

if i understood right

[potent canopy]

I re-read the event rules and it would seem like that's it

I was momentarily confused by "wait if you just do one then your votes are multiplied by one! Then it's useless!", completely forgetting you literally need to do at least one sprite to participate

[dusty owl]

I forgot that there was a page for that I could have checked

[potent canopy]

so yeah if you do 0 your votes are multiplied by 0

[dusty owl]

I just realized munna/musharna aren't in the game, when I'm pretty sure there's a person with one in Fuchsia City

[potent canopy]

yup, talks about outbreaks I think

[dusty owl]

outbreaks?

OHH nvm I just realized

I haven't played the game in months

[potent canopy]

lmao

[upper sonnet]

The blitz chart generator is really fixed now o/, ah ah x)

Just for 1 day before go hidden for all of the eternity

[near horizon]

good night, day or whatever depending on your time zone !

[cloud solstice]

only one day left for the blitz

[dawn prairie]

Mfw got stuck on first blitz mon i tried to make

[quartz locust]

Aren't the Ditto, Hawlucha and Shuckle too big for the canvas? 😮

[potent canopy]

I'm pretty certain they're just resized "incorrectly" from the original 288x288 sprite

[gaunt sigil]

Nope I mentioned it earlier I made the main canvas for the chart too small

It cuts off part of the grid on all sides

I can fix it give me a sec

Nvm even though the size is right, my sprites don’t perfectly fit

It was perfectly sized the first time too

[undone crag]

Ima be real: I hadn't realized that you could make more than one count per evo line so thought it was seven max. And since the last of those seven is being cleaned that'll prolly be all I get in.

Pretty happy with em generally tho.

[molten vector]

Finished! Super happy with these

[spare breach]

almost there

[limpid sphinx]

that depends, did you voted for lycanroc?

[limpid sphinx]

so fancy

[weary seal]

There's like, 8-10 hours left for the blitz right?

[signal reef]

Finally finished mine ! Gonna make the x12 count 😎

[quartz locust]

That's a really odd way of spelling Ribombee, but okay. 😛

[dense jackal]

I don't remember ribombee on the blitz vote...
(Conclusion: it's getting in anyway!... ||Or my memory is bad||)

[cloud solstice]

it's on the blitz vote

[dense jackal]

Welp. If I gave it anything other than a two I wasn't paying attention

[torpid osprey]

So do we get the Blitz results within this week or during the next ones

[torpid osprey]

Sure seem to love the squirtle line

[dense jackal]

Yup... i'd voted on them 😅

[weary seal]

Got 6/12 done but honestly I'm thrilled to have gotten 6 done! Has been fun spriting pokemon I'd normally never touch

[errant yarrow]

That metapod haulucha is great

[torpid osprey]

Is that a tiny Miltank in the Toxapex shell??

[weary seal]

Thank you! Someone in the thread dared me to put on abs and it was the best suggestion I'd ever had lmao

[weary seal]

YES It was so much fun spriting that tiny miltank. The littlest tank

[unborn dagger]

Got 9 done in the end. Ran out of fumes in the final week but I'm happy with all these fusions.

[torpid osprey]

Seems I need to do one of these too when I get home

[weary seal]

That Dhelmis fusion looks amazing and the aurorus fusion is so dang cute

[worthy turtle]

How many Pokemon are getting in from the spriyer's choice award?

[unborn dagger]

One line. So could be a few as 1 to at most 6 5 (wurmple line)

[worthy turtle]

Something about that seems wrong

[subtle moss]

wurmple line is 5

[unborn dagger]

Oh my bad

[worthy turtle]

That means we can't get the drapion line, zangoose and seviper, AND the Buizel line

That makes me very unhappy

This is worse than the mob vote

Actually, never mind because there still are two slots left for the original thing

When are they going to reveal those by the way?

[wintry mauve]

was just gonna ask that

[unborn dagger]

There might be a possibility of future updates. They were able to squeeze more space for the blitz so who knows 🤷‍♂️

[unborn dagger]

The community picks will be revealed soon since Kiwi said a little after 2 weeks post the Amaura and Aurorus reveal

[worthy turtle]

Gotcha

[unborn dagger]

Maybe in the next couple days or so

[worthy turtle]

If we don't get any of the Pokemon I listed, I will be very upset

Like seriously, I get not everyone wants drapion or Buizel, but zangoose is a staple

[sick herald]

spheal > zangoose

i wont hear otherwise

[cloud solstice]

the spriter choice and the raffle are separate from the 20 picks so there's 6 new lines to be added

I wonder if legendaries will be added separately, since they removed them from the spriter poll

[potent canopy]

iirc they decided not to put them bc they deserved to be more of an event since they are legendaries

and adding them as just a poll pick seemed unfitting for legendary pokes

[unborn dagger]

I feel the community results will have at least 1 legendary/mythic. I could see them adding a short little afterstory featuring the new pokemon fusions and ending with the new legendary. Although not sure if they have space for more story.

[quartz locust]

You know you want to give them a 3. 😉

[dense jackal]

I actually made this handy chart, so that you can see i didn't want that 🙂
(And also so that i can make lots of people mad about lots of different choices )

[quartz locust]

If you had them any lower than 2, you'd be my new least favourite. 😛

[dense jackal]

i think you'll find all of my 3's are the objectively right choices though

[quartz locust]

MASQUERAIN!?

We have limited slots, and you want to add Masquerain!?

I do appreciate the Hoenn love, though. 😄

[open folio]

average gen 3 enjoyer

Luvdisc even getting a 1 is more than it deserves

[crude cedar]

I actually think the Opposite. I want Gourgeist to get in the Game, so that the Grass/Ghost Alliance that I lead will end up being the Underdog and only Complete Alliance

[dense jackal]

Yeah. I cannot hide that

Probably more helpful to do things like this 😆

But ye, if you too would like to pick fights with everyone: 😆
https://tiermaker.com/create/pif-spriters-choice-vote-16286424

[tranquil fable]

Surkit gets a 3, agreed

[dense jackal]

Exactly! 😄

[dense jackal]

It seems we have quite different philosophies when it comes to voting methods 😆

[misty acorn]

most things got a clean 0 from me

[dense jackal]

huh... i guess i didn't get the template quite right

you have nearly everything at -1 😆

[crude cedar]

I am not revealing my Scores, but I'll instead share my personal opinions and takes on everything

[devout hare]

I managed to get pretty even on the bottom 3 tiers

[dense jackal]

0 points for spoink! Oh this is an offence against all the generations of my family D:

[broken robin]

I am not taking constructive criticism at this time

[devout hare]

I'm sorry, but I just don't care about the pig : (

[dense jackal]

I can only respect this

[crude cedar]

Does anyone have any Questions about or Arguments against my takes?

That's the point of why it's in that specific ranking

[dense jackal]

Oh no- You're also a spoink hater ; ;

[devout hare]

pretty sure they are more than 4 million or even billion but I'd need to check

[misty acorn]

Kricketune 3 based

[devout hare]

love the little dude

[devout hare]

it's billion

[crude cedar]

Yeah, and if they had to do 100+ Forms for 1 Pokemon, it would also mean that Frog would have to Delay the New Pokemon Update for Longer if he had to Code that many forms ib

[broken robin]

Lets be realistic. Spinda would have one form and it would be a bit lame

[dense jackal]

No one actually believes there'd be different spinda forms, right 😛

[devout hare]

highly unlikely, yeah

[crude cedar]

Frog made a Code SPECIFICALLY for Forms. If he did that, what lengths do you think he'd go to?

[misty acorn]

it'd probably be doable to have an algorithm throw the dots on the fusion sprites tbh

[devout hare]

people can decide on their own spot pattern, tho

[crude cedar]

And also, I don't hate Spoink, I just don't think it needs to be in the game is all

[errant yarrow]

extremely based

[dense jackal]

I think people would have to make a blank slate fusion, and then a bunch of sprites that are just a spot on a 288x288 canvas for that to work 😛

[crude cedar]

Okay: does anyone have any more questions, opinions/thoughts on, or arguments against My Takes?

Otherwise, I think my takes are Almost Perfectly Rated and/or Correct

[dense jackal]

I want to see the spoink fusion guide that has to be made because people keep copy-pasting a full size tyrantrum head onto a spring and calling it a day 😛

[crude cedar]

What if you just take Creative Liberties and use Inspiration from a Game made by Rovio called "Bad Piggies"?

[dense jackal]

solosis spoink would be pretty perfect for that...

[crude cedar]

I don't mean the Angry Birds Pigs, I mean- ugh... Is it okay if I DM you a YouTube Video of what I actually mean?

That way it'd be easier for you to understand by watching instead of me trying to directly explain it

[devout hare]

problem is the library/ad-on(?) that is used for this in rpg maker only goes to gen 7.

[crude cedar]

You don't have to limit it to a Solosis Fusion is what I'm trying to say

Because Spoink could work Perfectly without the Solosis making it Green or Rounder than it already is

[dense jackal]

Yeah, I don't know anything about it if it's not angry birds. But I'm happy to live in ignorance ^^

[cloud solstice]

feel free to roast my votes
note that the placement is based more on how fun the fusion would be for me, not if I like them

except for Crawdaunt

[surreal yarrow]

obviously there are many great choices but i had to at least make this, it's my duty

[torpid osprey]

Anyone got that template peeps use for their blitz roster?

[steel vortex]

I got the larger version, it's pinned in #1110680705018646658 tho

[misty acorn]

solid

[torpid osprey]

thanks

[steel vortex]

I can't find it in my files that is
Np!

[misty acorn]

aside for wanting that stupid gen 7 dragon normal guy for some reason

[steel vortex]

Leave Drampa alone, he's senile

[misty acorn]

his biggest archivement is somehow being even more forgettable of a dragon than drudigon

[surreal yarrow]

that sprite base makes drampa look interesting tbh

[steel vortex]

Thing is, yeah the sprite and design is legit nice
But it was HEAVILY overshadowed by everything, my guy was born in thr wrong gen 😔

[cloud solstice]

it looks cozy
also it burns bullies's houses

[torpid osprey]

Didn't get to make one for each dueto lacking free time, but still happy with the few I managed to get done! (Also made a silly Team Rocket baloon alt for the Bewear.)

[somber halo]

finnaly i finished them all

[torpid osprey]

Love the Dhelmise fusion! Is it Krabby or Kingler?

looks like Kingler, just thought I'd ask

[late sequoia]

Only doing one sprite for the blitz but I like how it came out. Just couldn't come up with fun ideas for the rest

[cloud solstice]

that's a beautifull sprite

[late sequoia]

Thanks, lots of work and feedback to get it there lol

[plush vale]

tentacruel is part squid tbf

[little cypress]

I vote that if we get Malamar then someone makes a Chthulu with Kyogre IMMEDIATELY.

[runic ruin]

You gave 3s to Lycanroc, Slurpuff, AND Deerling? Absolutely based.

[late sequoia]

Here is mine (granted I did it after voting and forgot exactly where I put certain ones).

[zealous pendant]

I think you can tell which one I like the most lol

[near horizon]

time to start my last blitz before it's too late

[dense jackal]

We have some heavy disagreements. But also some synergies, so I can't be too unhappy ^^

[dense jackal]

Is it the one where you drew an entire horse?

[zealous pendant]

That too but some of them have way more work put into them than the others

[worthy shuttle]

S+ tier list bruxish at bottom

[zealous pendant]

Bruxish at the bottom immediately makes it F-tier

Brux should be s

[worthy shuttle]

Bruxish sucks

Finneon does it better

Cause finneon isnt ugly and has good colors

[zealous pendant]

Nah, Bruxish is peak

[worthy shuttle]

Mid*

Would be better if it didnt have those dumb fat lips

[late sequoia]

I love that Bruxish is either loved or hated, its just like Khezu from Monster Hunter. I can see people using its color pallet for some interesting fusions, just not me

[zealous pendant]

I actually don't really care about Bruxish (Just like saying it's good for the meme ) But it does genuinely have some good/interesting features

[subtle moss]

what side of the name split would the x end up in. Or both?

[late sequoia]

My guess would be split like Bru-xish

[zealous pendant]

Brux-Ish probably

[subtle moss]

Duality of man

[late sequoia]

lol

[zealous pendant]

I think Brux is a better half than bru

Bru might lead to many awkward sounds

[subtle moss]

I do agree with eb though, when you pronounce it the x is part of the Xish

[zealous pendant]

Huh? That's not how I pronounce it at all

[subtle moss]

well actually it's more like bruk-sish

Idunno could still go either way

[late sequoia]

Jokes on us, they just get rid of the x

[zealous pendant]

I just pronounce it Brux-ish. Like red-ish, or bald-ish, etc

[subtle moss]

now added to IF, the requested Pokémon bruqzish

[spare breach]

ok now its finally done

[somber halo]

Kingler

[dense jackal]

Agreed!
I didn't realise there was any other option 😆

[little cypress]

Yes. Brucksish

[buoyant ore]

here's how I voted

[plush vale]

smh excadrill in d... monkeys not in d? wth

[buoyant ore]

the monkeys still got zero lol

[plush vale]

yeah but still nonsense placement

[buoyant ore]

they were based on how well I thought I could sprite em

[plush vale]

I guess less egregious when they're split up

[buoyant ore]

I really struggle with horses and complicated designs so I didn't vote for em

Mons that have typings that are needed rn like ice, fairy, and fighting, got bumped up a little as well

repetitive mons like route 1 mons got bumped down as they're pretty similar to whats in the game already

[late sequoia]

Mhmm, in the end it is an opinion poll and with us doing contests we gravitate towards mons we can see ourselves using.

[fierce flume]

I definitely favored single and two stage Pokemon

[dawn prairie]

vaguely gameplay leaning but mostly just how much i like them for fusion potential
as well as attending to any bit pokemon like mr craw or peak fiction

[tranquil fable]

Surskit in D >:(

[terse finch]

a

[tranquil fable]

Surskit in 2... Acceptable

[dawn prairie]

judging from farfetchd, i dont think it gets its gen 7 stat buffs which is a shame
but i like its look and sticky web, quiver dance, and intimidate are all nice

[dawn arch]

Unfezant in 0, death penalty

[devout hare]

didn't get all done and it's getting really late for me now. There's a toxapex fusion idea I really wanna do at some point

[worthy shuttle]

Why is luvdisc on the same tier as wishiwashi

[buoyant ore]

Drawability. They are both small fish and require about the same skill level

[worthy shuttle]

ah

Ok

[worthy shuttle]

I respect the durant placement but what do you have against feminine pokemon

[buoyant ore]

I was worried about the loponny situation

[dawn prairie]

Unfunny sprites into "muh free speech in this pokemon fan game"

[buoyant ore]

No hate against the mons tho

[dawn prairie]

Salazzle and Tsareena are also generally embarassing, fusions aside

[worthy shuttle]

Salazzle is cool

[buoyant ore]

Like i said theyre fine by themselves I just dont want any discorse over promiscuous fusions

[open folio]

Spheal will remember this

[buoyant ore]

I love spheal but I love other mons more

[hexed mica]

Got a half done Toxapex but don't see myself finishing it before the Blitz is done. 10/12 isn't bad at all given I've only submitted 17 sprites in total lol

[errant yarrow]

its been a busy few weeks at work but I still got a few done

[potent canopy]

can't remember if I posted my full blitz chart but here it is

[weary seal]

My tier list was yes/no only or I'd have spent a year fiddling with votes

[woven kettle]

As yes

I remember voting C and D on some of the polls too

[surreal yarrow]

currently im thinking

lol damn i left dewpider in 2? you know what hell yeah

its not like its gonna win anyway lol

that would actually be quite a pain to fuse

[broken robin]

Imagine the bodies lol

[upbeat wagon]

I hope the archen line gets in

i love these birds <3

[surreal yarrow]

you've sold me now i'm keeping him lmao

[rapid knot]

Okay, here's a question

When is the typo in the description for this channel going to get fixed?

[plucky arch]

never

[weary seal]

Mods will add a new typo instead

[plucky arch]

i couldnt change it if i wanted 😔

[rapid knot]

Choosing the typo will be the prize for the next sprite rush

[buoyant ore]

c is for mons I dont mind getting in and d is for mons I do not want to get in

[thin dove]

y.....yay....

[rapid knot]

I can smell the burnout from here

[zealous pendant]

The blitz was burnout central for many people. Myself included

Glad I got all mine finished though

[thin dove]

this blitz was....really bad for me in terms of creativity. i had maybe a max of 2 or 3 ideas for blitz stuff before two days ago

normally i would try to do a neat custom base for some of these but...with how close the blitz was, if i did that i'd be able to do 1 or 2 pokemon and then not be able to do anything else

at least i gave sigilyph the best fighting chance i could

[little cypress]

You are doing angels' work and Sigilyph appreciates you. (Me too! 😜)

Also glad you're still alive

[steel vortex]

Blitz had us at our most desperate

Thankfully I got 2 fusions that I like lol, and one custom

[zealous pendant]

I guess I was a bit of an over-achiever lol. Half of mine use custom bases. But I only really like 4 of them

[plush vale]

hope that doesn't hurt community or creators in long term

[surreal yarrow]

ALMOST THERE

quick what easy ones should i do for the last 4 😵

[dawn prairie]

Draw amaura mew
Little cute thingymabob

[surreal yarrow]

that's a great idea thank you

i was going to do bastiodon for dhelmise but i thought it would take too long so i did that goofy ugly gastly instead lol

Some Day

[zealous pendant]

Robosoup: "Quick I need something easy and fast to do"
Also Robosoup: Shows off really cool and complicated concept

[zealous pendant]

It shouldn't be a permanent thing. But people probably will need a bit of a rest period lol

[weary seal]

No burnout, straight from Blitz into Trev Rush
I get the burnout thing though, people have been smashing out sprites. It's been great to see, but I don't blame people for taking a break after.

I'm kinda worried that after the Blitz and the Rush are done I'll stop spriting again because I don't have anything pushing me along

[zealous pendant]

You can always go work for Team Wild! They focus on making sprites for all the possible wild fusions you can encounter so there's still lots to do

[weary seal]

I actually made my first Team Wild sprite yesterday! I probably will contribute more, ticking things off a list just itches my brain nicely 😂

[weary seal]

Okay two more sprites for the blitz I can stop and go do something else now

[limpid sphinx]

well, its finished

[surreal yarrow]

i did it!!!! almost lmao

i did 7 of these today so not bad

[young plover]

whew, i think i got a lot done all things considered. one seccy i'll makey one of those images. i'm half-tempted to include my sketches for fusions that i didn't get to buuuut i might want to make them for myself sometime so nah lol

I hope I submitted everything right and stuff, I only recently became a spriter after all and am mistake prone and forgetful

[surreal yarrow]

btw i'm just using snasha's tool to generate my chart!
https://infinitedummies.fr/pages/en/bchart.html

does all the work for you haha

[surreal yarrow]

you can always edit the post if you need to add credits or something 👍

[young plover]

oh thanks lol

[open folio]

I kept up with them as they came out, so I was actually pretty chill these last few days 😂 the mad dash seemed incredibly stressful

[young plover]

I think I'm fine on credits. The reference sprites I made specifically mention (in a memey way) what they're referencing and I didn't use any custom bases or anythin

[outer valve]

Lmao I procrastinated until I had like 2 hours to make 2 sprites, I’m surprised my toxapex/scizor came out as well as it did

[surreal yarrow]

i got sick last weekend and had to delay my train home until yesterday, i was stuck all week without my tablet 😂

you're right these days i would never crunch like this if preventable lol

[young plover]

this uhhh
this doesn't seem quite right
Toxapex is definitely 455 with Mareanie 454, and their file names are proper
...though upon reviewing, Dhelmise IS in fact improperly labelled, though I'm pretty sure they manage that already so that's good. Think I got mixed up with 453 -> 459 since I was also using Pokemon 339.

[surreal yarrow]

weird my mareanie loaded into the right place

[young plover]

clearly you must've mislabelled your mareanie and your toxapex /s

anyway, guess that's just a strange inconsistency

[plucky crest]

Wait, there's 2 dusclops/toxapex ones?

Brings the question on who'll get altef

*alted

[near horizon]

I should probably post the updated version of my blitz chart, because I went full

[merry parcel]

If you've submitted the wrong file name to gallery (and it happened this month) you need to delete and repost with the correct numbers

[deep gyro]

I’d probably wait a little bit with reposting until the blitz multipliers are calculated though

[robust swallow]

Do you need to do anything for your vote to be multiplied correctly besides having sprites posted in #sprite-gallery ?

[thick harness]

Hmm yeah I think the blitz chart generator isn't quite working... these were definitely all file named correctly . Oh well; at least it still shows all my blitz sprites, couldn't make it to the full x12 but I thought it best to prioritise my mental health over forcing artblock

[young plover]

oh really?

[plucky crest]

I only dod 2 so theres no point in using the generator

*did

Still pretty proud of them tho

[young plover]

does the repost thing still apply to bonus blitz mons

[plucky crest]

I'm a lil dumb, could you explain what u mean by that?

[young plover]

like, tatl said that if i sumitted the wrong file name to the gallery this month that i should repost with the correct file name but i don't know if i still do that for bonus blitz sine that had a specific deadline for fusions

[plucky crest]

It wont count if it has the wrong file name unfortunately

[near horizon]

imo, repost = okay because you made an uncorrect a correct

also, i think i did a good job with the blitz

[cyan gull]

[plucky crest]

Love the pallosand one

[near horizon]

thx

if the jolteon is in yellow background it's because it'll get a rework

[plucky crest]

Oooh, cant wait to see that

[near horizon]

it'll be roughly the same thing, just some tweaks and change neck fur to neck frill

[plucky crest]

Oooh oki

[near horizon]

ngl, i don't know which one i prefer, i hesitate between dhelmise and palossand

[hollow gull]

@stiff valley I forgot to submit my blitz sprite last night

it's too late I assume?

@near horizon a tragic end

finished in time but not submitted

[near horizon]

[hollow gull]

nothing I can do ?

[near horizon]

Idk, ask event manager

Sorry

[dense jackal]

Might need kiwi specifically?

[upper sonnet]

Ah ?

Weird. this is a big fail

Anyways, the generator will disappear, so i will not fix it, ah ah

[cyan gull]

[cyan gull]

now we wait for the event

[cedar quest]

Hey man, lemme have my fun

[cyan gull]

I can barely read manga with all the pretty pics

[hollow grove]

the first sentence is messed up lol

"led to our team of brave explorers have decided"

[cedar quest]

oops

Maybe don't read all that

[worthy shuttle]

Un un

[hollow grove]

its a fun read tho, i like it!

[lusty crystal]

I was gonna try finding an emoji from my server for my reaction but apparently the only emojis I made are negative or are

[cedar quest]

It's basically a lil' exaggeration summary of your journies through out #pif-hoenn-discussion

[limpid sphinx]

the rule that "must be made after the contest announcement" dont exists anymore?

[cedar quest]

Oh I forgor that

[limpid sphinx]

[cedar quest]

@low badger & @thick harness were name dropped for being firsts to find stuff in the hunt

[thick harness]

Haha, I feel bad you had to try and make a 'realistic' sounding from my username, but I was impressed with the story, though I feel you gave me far too much credit - all I did was figure out to react to the message

[limpid sphinx]

i was about to say "gamr you forget one rule" but i was afraid i might have missed some information lmao

[cedar quest]

I was stuck between Yoshino, Shino, Vic, or doing a nickname in "Yosh"

[lusty crystal]

Dont add the rule in I want to submit my fusion of regice and Mario Kart

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-dançando-yoshi-e-ovo-gif-23078206

[plucky arch]

okay so do i judge or participate

[limpid sphinx]

judge and gimme a 5

thats all

[lusty crystal]

I'm probably just gonna submit a sprite with the goal of getting all zeros I'm too lazy for proper IF sprites I'm focused on another game's contest rn

[primal iron]

getting all 0 is easy, you just gotta submit something in the wrong pixel format... getting all 1 tho, now that's a challenge

[lusty crystal]

Ok done my sprite how does it look

[dawn arch]

truly a goal

[outer valve]

My blitz chart if anybody cares lol

[slender thunder]

is that n64 sherbet land?

the layout seems similar

[outer valve]

looks like it with the cave

[lusty crystal]

Yes

[sturdy mulch]

What’s that?

[hollow gull]

@tall moss I finished my sprite in time but forgot to submit it last night

[slender thunder]

of what ? 🤔

[limpid sphinx]

blitz probably

[misty acorn]

never made one

[gleaming acorn]

It is time to Ün Ün Ün Ün

[torpid osprey]

Quick question for Contest submissions. (Haven't ever participated) Are we allowed to post the sprite in #1050404143807873157 beforehand or no? Just need to confirm

[near horizon]

Regirock/||Krabby|| & ||Kingler|| would be my come back in "regular" spriting (aka : ||🦀||)

[weary seal]

I would do Un but I want to get more trevs done before the rush is over

[near horizon]

Yes, it's even recommended

[torpid osprey]

Phew

Cuz I submitted mine and was afraid it would be disqualified because of the post

[near horizon]

You can't talk about sprites currently being voted but you can ask for feedback and help

[torpid osprey]

If I remember we just can't upload to Gallery until after the contest right?

[rapid knot]

Well, I guess I should actually try to take one of these contests seriously

[near horizon]

I always uploaded them asap after I've finished them, and it was before contest end, but some spriters prefer to upload after

[torpid osprey]

oh, ok. in that case, better now then forgetting later I guess

[open folio]

Yeah, I prefer to upload after just in case the sprite manager voters give some extra feedback that’s useful

[open folio]

Imagine making a Regi Trio contest and limiting submissions to 2/person, smh

[gleaming acorn]

If I were to use a custom base for my contest entry, how would I give credit when uploading to the drive? Or are custom bases just not allowed

[rapid knot]

I believe you just give credit when uploading to the gallery

[gleaming acorn]

Hm. I suppose the Contest Managers would know the available bases when judging. Just wouldn't feel fair if I got a good score or whatever based on someone elses labor

[misty acorn]

That's just how it goes

That's why people uploading bases have the option/right to not allow them for contest use

[gleaming acorn]

Oooh!

Maybe I will make my own base >:)
With Blackjack! And PG-13 References!

[sharp mountain]

okay but like. How are they gonna fix the regigas sidequest

[placid briar]

keep it as is, but you can now just bring a regi fusion

[sharp mountain]

Anyways, I'm just gonna say my idea:

Regi/Unown being a collection of unown (*) that form their facial dot patterns.
Or/and, have the official type icon somewhere.

I don't think that'd win, but that's my idea for someone wanting to submit a quick entry. Steal it, I guess. Maybe credit. Idrctm.

[ocean crown]

oooo a regi contest 👀

[low badger]

promoted to lead researcher

[uncut shadow]

Oh i just saw, the regis are finally here!

[young plover]

OK will do so now, thx!

OK, reposted, did I do that right?

Also Oooo the Regis, very interesting pick.

[tulip tusk]

I still barely understand events but I love the regis and want to submit at least one fusion

[plucky crest]

Well 1 fusion is the maximum for this so

[tulip tusk]

wait, wasn't it 2?

[plucky crest]

Wait

2

Yeah I misread

[tulip tusk]

ftgyhujik it be like that sometimes

[young plover]

1 goes diagonally down-left when at the top, just like 2
(or, depending on perspective, goes diagonally up-right before going straight down)
they're basically the same number, especially in fonts that put a horizontal line at the bottom of 1

[tulip tusk]

I was struggling to comprehend this for a moment until I realized this wasn't sprite related and instead about the actual numbers

[hollow grove]

Trust me, this happens all the time and no one ever does anything about it, they have said that they dont care if you use someone elses base and your score wont be altered because of it

[gaunt sigil]

Why do the Regis generally suck to make fusions I can’t even come up with a concept

[gleaming acorn]

I think they're a little tricky to work with, but as a concept they work pretty well

Since each of them embodies a type of uuhhhh dirt

I forgot the word I'm looking for

Anyway you can technically simplify them to Stone, Steel, and Ice

And then fuse anything with that

[gaunt sigil]

Era

[gleaming acorn]

Technically but that's not the word I was looking for

Material?

I'd assume if you're out to make Alt Sprites, anything fused with Registeel could make a Violet Paradox

[hexed mica]

There's already trends starting in Spritework. Registeel is leading to mechas, Regice is things embedded in ice or crytals, Regirock doesn't really have any yet however

[gleaming acorn]

Regirock Mimikyu that's just a pile of pebbles

[hexed mica]

Mimikyu dead confirmed

[plucky arch]

im excited for Regice

we dont have a pokemon that just represents ICE

everything else isnt super ice-y

[wet storm]

what happened to the altaria event?

[subtle moss]

was a threefer with the other dragons

[rapid knot]

Mineral?

[gleaming acorn]

I don't think Ice is a mineral?

I did flunk both physics and chemistry tho

[tight quest]

It technically is? Weirdly enough

[tranquil fable]

I... Think it is...?

I'm pretty sure I heard that water is a mineral, and ice is just frozen water so...

Yup, according to google ice IS a mineral

[rapid knot]

Ice is rock
Ice goes in drinks

I love having rocks in my soda

[buoyant ore]

mmm mineral water

[rapid knot]

water water

[tender plinth]

procrastinating on starting regi entries by fixing my current spriteworks I'd been procrastinating on >_> at least I'm getting something done

[subtle moss]

already doing more than I am

[half rapids]

based on what pokemon I am seeing in the gallery, its clear the regi people like the least LOL

[subtle moss]

is it regirock

[half rapids]

yep

[subtle moss]

because that is indeed the one I planned on not making

Maybe I will now cuz it'll stand out

[half rapids]

yeah thats what I was gonna say!

if it looks p cool and is a rare sight it probably will pique the judges interest some more. Though it would depend on where you go in the list while they vote lol

[subtle moss]

or maybe it's just that regirock takes more effort and can't be done in a few hours

[half rapids]

actually true i was thinking that, but ppl mightve had some fusion made ahead of time or smthn. theres like 2 rocks posted at all rn lol

[gleaming acorn]

Hey guys I couldn't sleep. Do you like my Regice/Vaporeon Fusion

get it.

[limpid sphinx]

looks like eevee body

[civic mauve]

Nah, it’s clearly Sylveon. Look at those ribbons

[civic mauve]

I find rocks the least fun to draw personally. I like shading reflective materials ^^

[crude cedar]

Hey guys which starter you choose

[plush vale]

tose evo dif amounts of times

[sterile gust]

Just to be clear, I need to use a pokemon that's already in the game? Or one that isn't in the game

[plucky crest]

Is in the game

And one of the regis

I mean u got 446 pokemon to choose from

[near horizon]

In the game + announced to be in

[sterile gust]

Thank you

[cursive brook]

How would a head on a regi even work they are weird shapes

[thick harness]

That's part of the fun of them! Figuring out a creative theming that works for the awkward body shape 😅

it's definitely a little tricky though

[torpid osprey]

Friendly reminder to add your name to the file name before submitting your fusion! I just saw some without the name already

[sly gorge]

just submitted my first entry to the Regi contest

hope it's good enough

[plucky crest]

Working on mine rn, doing regirock/trevenant

[gaunt sigil]

Anyone wanna give me some inspirations for a regi fusion I’m at a loss rn

[regal minnow]

If I want to participate in the contest, do I still post the sprite to #1050404143807873157 and #sprite-gallery after?

[gaunt sigil]

Yeah

[regal minnow]

Alright thanks

[thorny marsh]

It's probably been asked a million times before, but how do I enter the regi contest? Never done one before and someone suggested I enter

[plucky crest]

Just add ur username to the filename and submit it in the drive thats in #event-announcements

[thorny marsh]

So file name would be 449.248hyper_lash?

[cyan gull]

So #.# by name.png

That's how I do it

[thorny marsh]

I think it worked, it's in the drive

thx

[cyan gull]

The no collars means no custom bases that aren't yours right?

[thick harness]

No; custom bases are fine so long as the base maker hasn't specified not to use their base for contests. Collab refers to when two spriters work together to make a sprite

[plucky crest]

Basically if another spriter directly does something on the sprite

[cyan gull]

Me sees

[subtle moss]

don't put a leash on your fusion

[cyan gull]

Oh yeah?

[limpid sphinx]

yea the if dogs are free dogs

[civic mauve]

I’m a bit surprised by how many Registeel fusions there are so far. I figured there’d be more than Regirock but I though Regice would be more popular than both

I guess we’ll just have to see what the final count ends up being ^^

[floral vessel]

Might be a personal thing lol but I feel like spriting metal is a lot more straightforward than spriting ice or rock

[plush vale]

registeels only one with a lotta unique head stuff imo while others feel more just x type

[floral vessel]

Also sorta that

Registeel also has the most straightforward palette I feel? Like the colors are a lot easier to use

Regice is lots of blue shades and regirock is. regirock

I do plan on making one of each head though, they probably won’t be contest entries but I want to make a lil trio that sounds fun

[civic mauve]

True. But w/ the lack of ice types until recently I thought more folks would be excited to do ice/crystals

I do think Registeel is maybe the most interesting design-wise tho, just since it has a few extra design elements going for it

[plush vale]

I've heard shaidng on regice is really hard

[gleaming acorn]

I think it might just be that getting the ice just right takes a while longer

[civic mauve]

Makes sense

[late sequoia]

Yeah, I'm still trying to come up with ideas for what I want to fuse them with.

[sly shuttle]

Is anyone else already doing Garchomp?

[plush vale]

ask in the team

se eif they hav ea chart

[gaunt sigil]

What if I made a regice body with a shuckle body inside with a it’s head sticking out

[late sequoia]

Could work, I think using the regi-heads will be more popular than Regi-bodies so there is some potential to stand out with using the bodies

[gaunt sigil]

Don’t mind the subpar drawing but here’s what I’m thinking

[civic mauve]

Yep, Paya set up charts for all of them ^^

[plush vale]

did the shork get a chart yet?

[civic mauve]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1165483075573141657 Here's the link actually, for anyone who's interested ^^

[gleaming sand]

someone ought to fuse all the regis with gardevoir

and who knows, that someone might just be me

[late sequoia]

It's nice when a previous gens pallet matches up to the gen 5 pallet. Regirock's gen 4 sprite and gen 5 sprite have the same pallet

[sinful pendant]

I feel like my designs are very dull for this contest, mostly bc I don’t have a lot of time this week and the regis are very texture-heavy

[steel vortex]

To participate in this contest, or to not hmmmmmm 🤔
I do have ideas for Regice, but I could use the break ngl lol

[broken robin]

Regis are really hard to work with. Except maybe registeel

[sinful pendant]

Yea Sableye fusions already kinda tired me out on shiny crystal textures ngl

[sinful pendant]

Registeel does seem the most fun to fuse with IMHO

[tulip tusk]

I think it's funny there's already a magcargo fusion with every regi

[gleaming acorn]

And here I thought I was gonna be original

[modest kindle]

about 80% done of a registeel fusion and yeah registeel really does bring a kind of weird robot vibe that's just fun to work with

[tulip tusk]

the other ones are so cool and then there's mine which is just melted registeel (it is funny as shit tho tbh)

[gleaming acorn]

Some concept ideas for my Regirock fusion

[plucky crest]

Spiritomb was alreayd done iirc

[gleaming acorn]

Yeah, it did seem pretty obvious

[plucky crest]

Though its pretty similar to urs

[gleaming acorn]

I think the Darkrai one is too normal? Like currently it just looks like a slightly bigger Darkrai with weird textures

[plucky crest]

I like the roserade one tbh

[gleaming acorn]

And I do not think I have the mental strength to make the Jaw Thing rock trextured

[near horizon]

I'm gonna do what I do the best for this contest

Carcinisation

[gleaming acorn]

Time for Crab

[plucky crest]

Also we need regice/trevenant and and then every member of the trio has both body and head fusions with trevenant

[near horizon]

But before doing Carcinisation I have to do something very boring

Fix my computer
