event-general

[steady pasture]

There r no mammals in Pokemon anyway since they all lay eggs

[broken robin]

Monotremes have entered the chat

[sly shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/plato-pussssssssss-ferb-gif-5062824528274868085

[steady pasture]

Noted, so mammal looking Pokemon are actuallu Platypi

[olive sentinel]

Even rats are reptiles according to this huh

[little cypress]

Pupitar is a reptile?
It’s a pupa, distinctly insect stage of development?

[broken robin]

Evolves into Tyranitar and he’s for sure a reptile

[steady pasture]

And whales too

[steady pasture]

I think it can be argued that the intention of the pupa stage to be more of a chrysalis, allowing the Larvitar to become Tyrannitar
While it's not an insect, the intention is probably there

[broken robin]

I think dialga and palkia are reptiles too

[acoustic saddle]

all dragon r reptile

[little cypress]

Alolan Exeggutor would like a word

[acoustic saddle]

it a reptile

[broken robin]

I don’t think noivern is a reptile

I guess it is inspired by wyverns 🤔 but it’s pretty mammalian

[acoustic saddle]

: v it lay eggs

[broken robin]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotreme

[acoustic saddle]

i guess sub type dragon can be debatable

[acoustic saddle]

those must be reptile

[broken robin]

There are some reptiles that give live birth too

It’s actually pretty common

Rattlesnakes do that for example

[acoustic saddle]

but they dont breast feed

[broken robin]

No, and the eggs actually hatch in the body so it’s a little different

(Great white sharks also do live birth as another fun fact. Nature is cool)

[acoustic saddle]

why lickytung is a reptile

[steady pasture]

That tongue tho

[acoustic saddle]

isnt it a hippo

[steady pasture]

Since when?

[acoustic saddle]

since it fat

[steady pasture]

Jokes aside, i doubt Lickitung had any actual irl animal inspiration, and they just wanted a mon revolving around a sussy long tongue

[acoustic saddle]

lickytung was based on a yokai

[steady pasture]

Yeah, just googled it. An Akaname

[acoustic saddle]

still very reaching for a reptile

[steady pasture]

It is... but if used as a head material, u can incorporate that sussy tongue into something reptile like

[little cypress]

A tree with egg/coconut heads? Failing to see any reptile there

[acoustic saddle]

its a hydra

[little cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-uhhh-what-gif-19383908

[acoustic saddle]

:v well i guess it dragon sub type so it not really fully reptile

[arctic delta]

Isn't the rhyhorn family rhinos rather than reptiles?

[acoustic saddle]

same idea with the nido

they look like rhino to me

and rat

[arctic delta]

And kangaskhan is a kangaroo

[acoustic saddle]

i think for reptile category, it better to see what animal they based on first, rather than what they look like, like scale armor doesnt mean it must be reptile

[steady pasture]

So... it's a platypus

[acoustic saddle]

Kangakhan the platypus

[ornate beacon]

if we are doing the bingo does the base have to be the main pokemon or can it be anything

[broken robin]

Either order is fine

[tawdry oak]

@cyan gull I'm very sorry but please use the newer symbols as Ice looked like steel till i saw the available reptilians

[steel saddle]

Time to cause chaos

Birds evolved from reptiles, and Mammals from early reptiles, so technically (if you stretch it a bit) they're reptiles

Time to vanish

[olive sentinel]

Pokemons evolved from mew
Mew is a cat
Pokemon aren't reptiles they are cats

[steady pasture]

So what you're saying is, humans and Pokemon are the same series...

[cloud solstice]

isn't mew a mouse?
I always thought it was a jerboa

with the tail and long feet

[versed ridge]

It's name is mew
mew is the sound a cat makes
Therefore mew is a cat

[rapid knot]

Look at that happy group of reptiles
They stole that idea from the end of my Theme Blitzes, didn't they?

[thorn dune]

Mew is Adam Kadmon

[ashen sapphire]

the more useful version of this is:

it is impossible to create a monophyletic category designated "reptiles" that includes squamates (lizards/snakes), turtles, and crocodilians but excludes birds

you can say "mammals aren't reptiles" but you can't say "birds aren't reptiles"

time to do the entire chart with birds

[acoustic saddle]

mew is a fetus

it inside a bubble most of the time to resemble an embryo

[olive sentinel]

does this graph means that dinosaurs arent extinct?

[ashen sapphire]

yeah, birds are theropod dinosaurs

that's old news

[ashen sapphire]

this is obviously just a dinosaur that remembered it was, in fact, a dinosaur

[heavy furnace]

I just realized the bottom row was ice type, I thought it was steel

[rapid harbor]

As a biologist this makes my heart happy

Birds are dinosaurs!!

[tired jay]

Geese never forgot that

[shy temple]

Is Aerodactyl not a Rock type? It’s in the reptile infographic but not the eligible one

[tulip tusk]

haha bald

[limpid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/white-chicks-bodega-gif-19018859

[zealous pendant]

It is a rock type. idk

[heavy furnace]

They probably just couldn't fit it

[shy temple]

Looking at that graphic again.. probably: fair enough lol

[sly shuttle]

Definitely, I definitely couldn’t fit aerodactyl and I absolutely did not just forget about.

[wraith dune]

Time for gabite fusions!

Congrats @tulip tusk

[tulip tusk]

thamk

[little cypress]

All dinosaurs have never been extinct, the coelacanth (what Relicanth is based off of) dates back to at least 410 million years ago, and not much has changed for them in most of that time. That is a dinosaur based on when it first evolved, and we still have them today

[keen zealot]

The coelacanth is WAY cooler than that. It's not a dinosaur cause it's a fish which predate ALL dinosaurs. It is essentially a living fossil. It evolved to be what it is as @little cypress says 410 million years ago and was like.... yup this works. And has just lived that way through multiple extinction events

[little cypress]

(A lot of people colloquially use dinosaur as a stand-in for fossils, that was where I was going, but yes fishes are separate)

[keen zealot]

Ohhhh I see yes.

I personally keep a dinosaur at home

[little cypress]

That’s the face you get when you call birb “dinosaur”

[keen zealot]

He knows what he is - the might, power and rage of all the dinosaurs that ever lived. Compressed in to 70 grams

[severe epoch]

conure!

[keen zealot]

Yah! His name is Percy

[stoic dust]

I don't know about anyone else, but Golem being referred to as "tortoise-like" on it's bulbapedia entry makes no sense when it appears to perform more akin to a pangolin (a mammal) than a tortoise.

Though that's my own take after overthinking it for a few minutes.

[rapid knot]

I'm not sure what golem is

A creature stuck in a rock

I don't know
He has a pettable face

Maybe he's a pet rock

[subtle moss]

yes

[naive summit]

(just a casual interest check)

actually maybe I'll post in event announcements lol

[tulip tusk]

all of them

[naive summit]

valid lmao

[subtle moss]

you know you can make actual polls now

[naive summit]

in 10% of discord servers, yes

not this one

(also they suck)

[cedar quest]

Bot is just more consistent

[subtle moss]

well okay then

[crude cedar]

guys vote azumarill for world peace

[naive summit]

I'm mostly leaning Buneary tbh, it would be fun to get another mon to 100% both ways

make Gdei proud even if she's no longer here

but eh whatever people have interest in 👀

[crude cedar]

but its george

[thick harness]

The last buneary rush was a lot of fun, so I'd be down for another one - even if this time the claims will be filled up in the first couple days 😅

[little cypress]

It seems more like a hedgehog or armadillo to me personally

[swift grove]

I always liked to think he gained a body from machoke while while machamp got his extra hands from graveler

[steady pasture]

I agree, we need Bunearies... so that people would be encouraged to fuse them and get Lopunnies, and maybe people will sprite more Lopunnies too

[rapid knot]

[acoustic saddle]

:0 woah chrom

[zealous pendant]

Congrats to all the winners!
All your sprites are awesome!

[steady pasture]

Oh fck, i actually got top 3?

I wasn't actually confident in this contest lol

[sly shuttle]

These notes are absolute gold!!

[steady pasture]

The highest scores were 43, 41, and 40s? That's alot lower than recent contests

Me thinks staff are more biased towards kaijus than they think they are

[cedar quest]

Well, there was one less person voting for sure

[steady pasture]

Oh... oops

[subtle moss]

hm, I didn;t do too well on this contest compared to previous ones

oh well.

[rapid knot]

I aimed to win... and got spotlight? Well, that's certainly a lot closer!

[steady pasture]

My fav was the Klefki/Bastiodon, really liked it

[tulip tusk]

I doomed my sprite by trying to be silly goofy with the palette lmao

[tulip tusk]

the chandelure/toxapex is really sick, that concept was hella cool with the sprite also being really well done

[subtle moss]

They said my sprite doesn't look like Celebi body. Fair, I suppose.

It's a little removed from typical fusions

[wind matrix]

I'm | | |

[steady pasture]

I really liked the concept. While i do think it's fair that i can't guess the body (i thought it was Pallosand), it's still very well done

[cedar quest]

you're in bars

[zealous pendant]

I'll be honest with you, mate. I would never have guessed this was celebi body

[subtle moss]

yeah, I know.

[wind matrix]

that was made by Pixel tho

[steady pasture]

oh... i've been duped

[subtle moss]

would it be better if I reversed the order?

[cedar quest]

Same, but I do like how the Celebi looks trapped

[subtle moss]

or should I just fundamentally change the sprite

[tulip tusk]

goober

[cedar quest]

Good bored personality, fitting of the situation of trapped in time

[wind matrix]

I like it, I just don't think it's main material :>

[subtle moss]

eh, there was another main already I think

[wind matrix]

Let me out!

[subtle moss]

so no bigge

[cedar quest]

I put all of y'all in bars, no worries

I'm free since I didn't vote this time, no bars for me

[subtle moss]

I'll just post it to the gallery knowing it'll be an alt

same for the other one, probably

although I don't think it has a main

[steady pasture]

Gamr trying to salvage the situation lol

[mortal void]

ah! podium! I seem to do way better with judge contests than community ones goddamn, time to read the notes

[wind matrix]

I don't watch jojo

[steady pasture]

Neither did i

Only know abt it from memes

[cedar quest]

Yeah I can see that absolutely none of y'all got that one

I can see it's Melo body

But got no clue of the head

[zealous pendant]

All of you who participated in In Too Deep are | | | | | |

[lyric hill]

@naive summit No Togepi for Easter event? shame

[cedar quest]

Woulda got a 2 or 3 outta me

[wind matrix]

I looked it. up. it's giritina. I assumed it was part of the refrence

[tulip jungle]

Exactly

[limpid sphinx]

unfortunely its not pokemon infinite references

[steady pasture]

I would've voted 0-1 tbh, cuz i can't recognize the fusion, nor the ref

[tulip jungle]

Howls you disappoint me.

||But you're still awesome||

[wind matrix]

we're in bars. free us :>

[naive summit]

I did consider it tbh

[steady pasture]

Damn, that's harsh, i thought that this was another clever concept

[errant yarrow]

the winner is perfect for the server icon

[wind matrix]

the winner is so fluffy :>

[steady pasture]

That's fair... i got tunnel visioned into the concept forgetting that the theme revolves around the trapped, and not the trap itself

[mortal void]

I love the sheep so much perfect server icon

[heavy furnace]

I'm pretty sure I put the number for Cofagrigas

[rapid knot]

I'll be honest, I had thought the klinklang/pikachu was going to win

[wind matrix]

dex num 362

[opal wadi]

I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?

[subtle moss]

362 is Cofagrigus, 326 is probopass

Maybe you just miswrote the file name?

[naive summit]

you did ye

[subtle moss]

oh

[steady pasture]

I thought the Klefki/Bastiodon would win, it was my fav

[mortal void]

I am more than chuffed with 2nd, believe me

[subtle moss]

That judge misread the number I guess

[naive summit]

dex 362

[opal wadi]

I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?

[heavy furnace]

Now I'm upset

[naive summit]

dexnum 362

[opal wadi]

The IF Pokédex number 362 belongs to Cofagrigus!

[naive summit]

ya

cofagrigus not probo

whoever left that note is dyslexic

[wind matrix]

I think my dyscalcula kicked in. I'm sorry 😔

[rapid knot]

I don't speak Brittish that fluently
Is that a good thing?

[subtle moss]

sue the judges

[naive summit]

(tbf it doesn't read greatly as cofagrigus either though imo)

[mortal void]

haha yes sorry, "well pleased"

[heavy furnace]

Someone just said to do it because of the box, originally it was just double Joltik

Cause it was multiple of them

[wind matrix]

that woulda made more sense tbh

[heavy furnace]

[naive summit]

idk its not easy to read regardless of what you'd put it as I think, since it's not really screaming "fusion" just "joltik in a box"

[subtle moss]

Was I the one who said that? I forget what advice I gave

[naive summit]

its a silly and fun concept though!

[heavy furnace]

It was meant to be a joke so yeah

[lunar comet]

:OOOOO

holy shit, first time being spotlighted!!

[heavy furnace]

You were not

[subtle moss]

kk

[harsh obsidian]

So the person trapped, just will die eventually?

[limber holly]

Waoh, podium... congratulations to all the winners! And i love the meloetta/tangrowth and bastiodon/azurill especially

[heavy furnace]

I love that most of the comments on my entries are just "I don't know what this is."

[limber holly]

Whole lot of character in all these entries

[wind matrix]

btw, we're throwing the winner in a pit :>

[naive summit]

grats!! yours was really cute, I absolutely adored the expression and character to it (+ contrary to the comment on the sheet, I think the effects for the flapping wings were done really nicely!)

[harsh obsidian]

Damn, well that’s sad

[timid echo]

Do you think any of the guys ever get untrapped

[lunar comet]

thanks!!! honestly i wasn't sure about the flapping fx myself, if i had the chance i might go back and see if i can pull off more of a blurred look like Heracross here

https://cdn.daena.me/J81DIcXsbm9-cphQ6KXdZeFt/dn/pif/214.png

[cedar quest]

Blur looks good

[naive summit]

motion blur is so hard to convey in pixel art tbh

[cedar quest]

Maybe a bit of the greys from the claws could make the effect look less flat?

Byeah

[wind matrix]

the blur woulda worked better

[steady pasture]

1st time in top 3... guess i don't have the right to call myself shit anymore lol

[wind matrix]

next time you'll get second :>

[harsh obsidian]

Hopefully they will get rescued though ||excadrill||

[steady pasture]

Or maybe i've peaked lol

[heavy furnace]

Judges hate me

[wind matrix]

excadrill's not in if. did you misspell something?

[steady pasture]

They're right tho

[heavy furnace]

https://if.daena.me/406.101/

[steady pasture]

It's just a Gard in a Pokeball

[harsh obsidian]

Not yet anyway

[heavy furnace]

I was literally basing it on this, which is a main sprite in the game

[harsh obsidian]

What does that reaction mean?

[wind matrix]

should be an alt ngl

[wind matrix]

is me :>

[zealous pendant]

It means

[harsh obsidian]

I see but why what is the meaning?

[wind matrix]

[steady pasture]

Did u not post in spritework? I believe people should've/would've at least given u feedback that it isn't an actual fusion

[wind matrix]

I dunno if I can explain it

[harsh obsidian]

Anyway, I have a little theory that when they start adding mons this little story will pick up where it left off with the protagonist being rescued by the new Mon being introduced

[worthy shuttle]

There was a contest goin on still??

[wind matrix]

there's always a contest going on

[worthy shuttle]

Not 6 months ago there wasnt

[heavy furnace]

Someone said to put eyes on the ball but that didn't make sense in the context of what I was doing

[lunar comet]

i can speak for my entries

for gengar trapped in ice go watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw8Xs0sllHI&t=84s&pp=ygUXcGlrYXNwcmV5IHllbGxvdyBnZW5nYXI%3D

for the diglett/hoothoot? never. its foot is connected to whatever the heck the bottom part of a diglett's body is, and it can never be removed from the ground without dismemberment

[naive summit]

It's not personal, but joke alts and unconventional/"not really a fussion" sprites generally don't do great in contests, esp staff contests; fusion design and incorperating elements of each mon into it is something a lot of us look for when judging

[lunar comet]

valid. probably why my gengar didn't do so hot

(get it)

[molten crater]

I just wanna say it was not an afterthought, its a reference to "fiendish chain" card from ygo

[limber holly]

Looking through the entries, the spiritomb/aipom and golem/machoke are some of my favs Both very expressive.

[clear drum]

It's reassuring to see the contest judges seem to get zero pop culture references that aren't pokemon. And also few of those.

[wind matrix]

I normally give sprites a 0 if I can't figure out the fusion. :>

[wind matrix]

I don't know what that is

[lunar comet]

if it's okay i'd like some further feedback/clarification on the ice effects, because i thought i did decently well with them?

[tulip tusk]

I think the afterthought comment was about the chains not really fitting the sprite?

[sick herald]

yeah

they seem tacked on almost

[clear drum]

Tons of references, all replied to with "i don't get what this is supposed to be i don't own a TV and never played a single video game i don't even like pokemon why am i here"

[lunar comet]

i definitely understand regice being hard to spot, in retrospect i could've added its eyes or smth

[molten crater]

this

[wind matrix]

mostly the shape :>

[wind matrix]

I don't play yugioh

[lapis sparrow]

I thought the azurill crying would be enough to show trapped ;-;

[wind matrix]

azurill's always crying :>

[lapis sparrow]

Damn

[tulip tusk]

my second guy did a lot worse but I'm just happy with the sprite itself, I think I did decently with making it look like a balloon

[cedar quest]

Agreed

[wind matrix]

it looked very cute :>

[cedar quest]

Good fusion

And I can kinda see the trapped theme

But just doesn't push it far enough

[tulip tusk]

the shading was done to look like one of those "get well" balloons with the little extra trimming around it

[cedar quest]

If it looked more weighed down by the sandbag, I think it would've scored higher

[tulip tusk]

yeah, I didn't want it to pull against the string since I felt that looked janky in sprite form but it kinda looks chill rather than trapped

[heavy furnace]

One day I'll get in the top 50% of one of these

[lunar comet]

just believe in yourself and pester the judges for tips on how to improve

[heavy furnace]

I will simply restrain my stupidity creativity

My greatest achievement will still be when I got spotlight on a sprite that got like 0 points and people were complaining about it

[limpid sphinx]

spritedoku usually comes on fridays?

the results?

i feel like it was post to close to contest results lol

it can make not that much ppl see the results idk

[cyan gull]

people got pingerd for the results though

the contest that is

also yes

my results come out 1 day after new week begins

[clear drum]

Also a whole lot of "this isn't struggling enough so it doesn't look trapped, 1/5" for then having a Bastiodon not struggle against the tiny chain covering its nonexistent face and nothing but in 3rd place

[heavy furnace]

Honestly, I think you could say some of them were trapped as in an object that is a trap

That was my thought with my Gardevoir fusion but they just said it wasn't a fusion

[limpid sphinx]

frrrrr

agreed

staff

[clear drum]

I didn't even take part in this contest but that seems unfair to a whole lot of peeps who did

[wind matrix]

ah yes, 1s

[stable dirge]

Only in Gen 5 sprite tho (why did they do him like that)

And also the PMD2 games

[wind matrix]

honestly tho, I couldn't even see the tears on the ferroseed/azuril. they looked like blush marks :>

[stable dirge]

The prompt was just that things needed to appear trapped, not that they all need to be in the Denial/Anger/Bargaining stage. Some of these are in the Depression/Acceptance stages and... Are still trapped.

[lapis sparrow]

The only blue, right under the eyes while stuck with a ball and chain

[stiff viper]

Congrats on first place @cloud solstice !! Love that fluffy babe being the server icon

[lapis sparrow]

And the blush right on the sides

[errant shard]

I almost feel lucky that I forgot to submit my contest entry to the gallery lol, I bet mine would have been roasted to hell and back

[stable dirge]

I honestly thought those were just part of the eyes, and that you've given it dark blue eyes.

[lapis sparrow]

Eh

fair

[wind matrix]

i thought that was the colour of the eye

[lapis sparrow]

:( how do i do tears then

[stable dirge]

Like, it's very accurate to how the highlighting works on the iris.

[stable dirge]

Put them on the outer corners.

[stable dirge]

What was yours?

[wind matrix]

For the ones that I felt like they should appear more expressive, I didn't lower the score to 1. It would have just made the difference between a 4 and a 5 :>

[lapis sparrow]

I'm kinda sad that gengar one didn't score higher

It was a sick sprite and referrence

[errant shard]

I had a Mr. Mime / Reuniclus fusion that never made it out of Spritework on time, it’s almost a blessing that it didn’t make the deadline lol

[stable dirge]

Oh, it doesn't have the be in the gallery in order to go to the contest you know

[lapis sparrow]

Wdym, that's so good, I'm looking at it

[stable dirge]

Also I just looked it up. I see what you were going for but I would have had a hell of a time trying to guess the Reuniclus

But it's still really well done

[lapis sparrow]

What if for a next contest, it's only referrence sprites for specific games

that could make a cool event

[wind matrix]

I wouldn't judge :>

[cyan gull]

like Metroid

[wind matrix]

me, but with refrences

[tulip tusk]

only references to obscure media and games contest when

[lapis sparrow]

#1197599880827392070 message i guess milian royale is doing that...

[clear drum]

Yes. 1s. Also tons of 2s, but admittedly those weren't literally my point so i guess we can be exact here. Also you didn't explain the actual point, that being how a non-trapped fusion got much better ratings.

[wind matrix]

those are ones where they don't look trapped at all. The bastiodon looks trapped

[tulip tusk]

gonna sprite spiddlebob from obscure japanese indie rpg "heart of blood IV" /j

[lapis sparrow]

I don't really see how it is

[tulip tusk]

would yiik count as an obscure reference

[lapis sparrow]

Considering how h e f t y he is i don't think it'd affect him

[clear drum]

I mean okay, i don't particularly fancy getting banned over discussing this. Good talk.

[naive summit]

Generally I think those come down to "I don't see the connection to the theme very well" among other things

[tulip tusk]

can we at least see the sprites being argued over

[wind matrix]

I'm banning no one :>

[lapis sparrow]

But that's not even my sprite so idc

[lapis sparrow]

No >:3

Also you're ignoring the fact that some of those have higher scores from some judges, some of them have other flaws, etc.

[clear drum]

Not trapped enough, it can still breathe. 0/1000

[little cypress]

This is basically what got @steady pasture ranked, effectively the sprite WAS this

[tulip tusk]

man I was just trying to post haha funny cat I don't even know what sprites are being ranked for

[little cypress]

How well does your sprite show that cats are actually liquid

[clear drum]

neither do staff Nah, enough of this, that was my last bit.

[little cypress]

With Pokémon

[tulip tusk]

I still don't know what sprites were being argued over sobs

[wind matrix]

Each staff has their own ranking system :>

The drive with all rankings is linked in #event-announcements

[wind matrix]

there's the entire drive :>

[tulip tusk]

I mean you and feelfree

[naive summit]

There's a drive and a spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k5x3eSel1o7tzQeFx8gy3qfiGWdHFO0gWcFTrxUtQ04/edit?usp=sharing sheet mainly

You can see every entry there

[little cypress]

“Here’s a huge list of ALL possible options, good luck finding the needle in the haystack on your mobile device”
K thanks

[wind matrix]

sheet, drive, same thing

[errant shard]

Gonna say this; I’m not sure the argument matters at this point, the results are what they are and foaming at the mouth about is isn’t gonna solve anything? I think?

[naive summit]

I'm navigating on mobile right now lol

[tulip tusk]

this is far better than public voting though

[wind matrix]

but people like arguing :>

[naive summit]

Anyways ultimately every staff takes dif things into consideration and also complaining about a sprite getting literally five 4's because one or two judges voted it more harshly is silly

[little cypress]

I like different perspectives personally, and staff votes actually give reasons. Public votes are just random and sometimes confuse me

[steady pasture]

I agree

[little cypress]

I can’t even search posts Discord on mobile, sheets is SO MUCH worse

[tulip tusk]

I am forever allowed to mock public voting because of my bullshit win that one time /j

[steady pasture]

i like staff voting more since there's some feedback, and the staff do try to consider more elements of the sprite rather than just Kaiju + SFX go burrrrr

[little cypress]

The spotlights especially are such a fun little read

I love those explanations so much

[naive summit]

Side note, I usually only leave a comment if I really love a sprite or have some critical feedback for it (or if it lacks one entirely) but I was late to voting so most of the comments were already there

Spotlights are my favorite though lol

[wind matrix]

public voting: I like dis one :>
staff voting: well, the technique could use some work here 🤔

[naive summit]

The "these are neat" meme was my idea btw, you're welcome

[little cypress]

||Or: “reference? What reference? I don’t see it” ||

[clear drum]

The chad trapped fusion with 40 points and "Amazing!" as the only comment vs. a selection of the V untrapped fusions

[naive summit]

Again

The Drifloon literally got five 4's

You're cherry picking lol

[tulip tusk]

hehe my guy spiritomb fusion I looove yooou

[little cypress]

Well it was a good idea, so thanks

[clear drum]

Note that this is an explanation so @tulip tusk gets what we're talking about

[steady pasture]

I'll have u know as one of those co-called "chad trapped fusions" that i absolutely love the Klefki/Bastiodon fusion and i will defend it to the death

[little cypress]

The one black and three white backgrounds are ruining me

[tulip tusk]

I was told beforehand that people agreed that it didn't fit trapped that well as it seemed very free

[clear drum]

That was a quick way to show the difference

[naive summit]

Just because it didn't get first or it's only comment was "(one staff) doesn't think it fits the theme very well" doesn't mean it's a bad sprite or it did badly

[little cypress]

I probably would’ve had the keystone dragging on the ground somewhat

[tulip tusk]

I had that originally but removed it

[naive summit]

Honestly I love the execution of that sprite, it's really fun and the stone being a sandbag is really clever

[little cypress]

The two ball and chain ones were also cute

Unique form of trapped

[tulip tusk]

I probably shoulda made it more angry since spiritomb but also the [head empty] look fits funny balloon

[errant shard]

Unanimous positive voting shows the strength of a concept, if even 1/5 (IE 20%) of a judging panel don’t get it, it speaks to a shortcoming in the technique, concept, clarity, and sometimes even effort made

[naive summit]

Yeah that's another thing, the azurill was very much loved and made it to a spotlight because of it

The ball and chain was incorporated into the design really well

[tulip tusk]

azurill fusion gang

[naive summit]

Baby mon gang

[little cypress]

If the hand balloons had been as far up as possible and the main head balloon had been tilted forward slightly (same angle as the string, which also needed to be taut), I think the trapped theme would’ve been more obvious.
It was still good though

[tulip tusk]

I woulda done the ball and chain idea too but the body mon I used is horrid so couldn't

[naive summit]

I liked the ferroseed one a lot too personally, though I do agree the tears are easy to mistake for eye color. It's a sad little cutie though

[tulip tusk]

dhelmise is a horrid pokemon to fuse with

[wind matrix]

now do ncrozma :>

[little cypress]

Using an anchor as a ball and chain? Seems apropos actually

[naive summit]

Agreed lol

[tulip tusk]

I have like 5 necrozma fusions sobs

[little cypress]

WHICH ONE

[tulip tusk]

I love necrozma <3

[little cypress]

Would little white tear trails have been better?

😭😭

[tulip tusk]

lmao I have 4 and like 3 were submitted for contests and every time I regretted making them

[wind matrix]

necrozma/rhyhorn :>

[little cypress]

No I mean which Necrozma, they both have their challenges

[wind matrix]

oh. lol I dunno

[little cypress]

Ultranecrozma is bonkers and normal is so awkward and boxy and just odd proportions

[tulip tusk]

also I'm sad there aren't more necrozma fusions based on the original concepts

[naive summit]

Maybe, or putting the tears more in the corners of the eyes? Maybe having them be bigger and more cartoonish? Like or hmm

[wind matrix]

I've only made a regular necrozma

[little cypress]

👍👍

[tulip tusk]

the ultra form is the real form and the normal form is just the segments reformed, I've only seen it done with cresselia

side note that sprite is cool as shit

[wind matrix]

Side note. When judging, I try to give feedback on how the sprite can be better, since that's what people would constantly ask before the coment system was implimented. Doesn't mean I give you a bad score :>

[errant shard]

A “5” on concept might still have shading issues in execution, I’m sure.

[naive summit]

I was trying to find examples of tears, both are by Toad900

[wind matrix]

5 from me means I can find no issues, but if it's minor, I'll give it a 4 :>

[errant shard]

(I suppose that makes more sense lol)

[naive summit]

I wanted to leave more comments this time but I didn't have time

[stable dirge]

Thoughts on my spectral orb tears on the Aipom Body?

[tulip tusk]

I kinda want to hear more detailed opinions on the azurill sprite I did

I want to know how to make good custom shading colors without them looking like bongwater

[naive summit]

Oh, I actually didn't realize those were tears I did adore your sprite though, the expression was amazing and I love the pose you did

[wind matrix]

I would love to give people 5s if the issue is minor. but there's too many talented people

[naive summit]

I was hoping that one would get on the podium honestly but alas

[stable dirge]

Yay

[wind matrix]

same 😔

[stable dirge]

I'm pleased that I got to at least top 10 but not once have I been to the podium. There's also a fair amount of contests I've missed

I'm happy y'all thought it was worthy though

[tulip tusk]

out of curiosity, how many event role tags are there?

[stable dirge]

I think that's uh.... TBD

[lapis sparrow]

I got like 26/45 which is a lot better than last comp so I'm happy (the top one is mine which was 19/50)

[steady pasture]

Excluding completionism roles, just 6 i think? Newest Contest Winner, Contest Champion, 2nd and 3rd place, POTW, and Event Winner

[near horizon]

If people want to know i judge the sprites with 2 things in mind :

• does it fit the theme ?
• do i like the sprite ?

And usually when i'm giving 0 i put a shot comment on why it got it.

[limpid sphinx]

happy that u liked mine x)

[cloud solstice]

I can't believe I won
Missed the announcement bc I was sleeping

[broken robin]

Congrats!

[wicked perch]

i have two 'most creative' spotlights now how many more can i get

[icy osprey]

😭 aah i didnt expect my entry to get a spotlight

[slate ginkgo]

thanks GamR

[frail bramble]

one person gave me a 5 on my stufful/bewear lol i didnt expect that

[near horizon]

i knew the reference, just that it doesn't fit for a pokemon contest

[frail bramble]

i had a joltik/magcargo sprite which i had to turn it into a fusion, but unfortunately my device ran into problems and had to be repaired (i got it back today, what a coincidence)

[slate ginkgo]

i saw other references and thought that they're allowed

but ok I guess

[steady pasture]

Even if they're allowed, they generally don't perform very well

[near horizon]

the other references incorporated a bit more the pokémons, your just looks like an human.

If it was possible to catch both halves of the fusion i would have give it a 3 probably

[steady pasture]

The only references that performed well are those that incorporate elements of both materials to the point that it can be its own standalone Pokemon fusion, instead of being just a reference

[near horizon]

like for exemple this reference incorporate pokémon

[steady pasture]

This one also won an event
IIRC it's a Terraria reference

[near horizon]

this one is a monster trapped in a card, like in the game it's inspired by

also a reference, but it wasn't really a good fit for the theme

etc ...

[slate ginkgo]

mine looks like a human cuz meloetta looks like a human

alright I got it

will do better next time

[near horizon]

anyways

don't forget

contests are only for fun

x)

[limpid sphinx]

not really

[sly shuttle]

Technically it didn’t. It got 2nd. Sableye/Mismagius won

[limpid sphinx]

the soreille calamity that won was deoxys onix

[acoustic saddle]

same point

[limpid sphinx]

for deoxys classic

[steady pasture]

Oh

Well it still performed really well

Oh wait

it wasn't this

[limpid sphinx]

yea yea but on deoxys it was a ref too

yea im sayin

and won

[steady pasture]

It was this one

[limpid sphinx]

#contest-gallery message

[near horizon]

yeah but it was community vote

[steady pasture]

Yeah, oops

[limpid sphinx]

yea it is deoxys onix and the ref at once

[near horizon]

so you can't blame the staff x)

[limpid sphinx]

fr

but anyways

[steady pasture]

We can ALWAYS blame the staff

[limpid sphinx]

it fits p well

[steady pasture]

Stub my toe? It's probably Milian's fault

[limpid sphinx]

i mean fuck staff

i hate u @blissful kindle

[acoustic saddle]

[near horizon]

Eat a crab but it taste bad ? It's probably my fault x)

[steady pasture]

Some major drama is occuring? Probably Rezza and Milian pulling strings in the shadows again

[near horizon]

i think u missed something important in the #rules

inculding jokes

[acoustic saddle]

i flooped

[acoustic saddle]

aint rezza gone

reduced to atoms

[steady pasture]

That's what they want u to think

[near horizon]

anyways, i have to go

[sly gorge]

I expected as much lol

[acoustic saddle]

😔 they disallowed me

[sly gorge]

reminder that next time I should avoid making Mother references for contests

[steady pasture]

You're Not to Mention, emphasis on the 'Not to'

[limpid sphinx]

ok lemme fix

i don’t like u that much @ c a bi n e

no mentions no jokes

im safe

[cyan gull]

Damn, you don't like 🗄️

[limpid sphinx]

yeah i don’t like cabin, i just like cabão

🇧🇷

[cyan gull]

[zealous pendant]

I'm calling Cabine, Cabinet from now on

[cyan gull]

[blissful kindle]

Uuuuuuuuuuh

[blissful kindle]

Noooooooooo

[cedar quest]

nah that's my thing

[limpid sphinx]

new contest when

[cedar quest]

Secret

I'd be a fool to give ya more information

[cyan gull]

Carbernet?

[blissful kindle]

What is even that?

[cedar quest]

Hello Carbon Emmission

[uncut shadow]

A... Fool..? You m-mean like... ...april fool's.?

[cedar quest]

A goddamn fool, I would be

[limpid sphinx]

congrats @steady pasture really like that one!

[tired mantle]

hey guys i am stupid how do i submit my sprite for this #event-announcements message

[broken robin]

#1197599880827392070 has instructions in the pins

[tired mantle]

ty

[broken robin]

Typically submit to gallery with Sprite Royale Week X in the post

[tired mantle]

the channel is unknown

[broken robin]

X being whatever week we’re on

[broken robin]

As a backup try looking for it here? https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1149373303669145751

[tired mantle]

found it

still weird that the channel is shown as unknown

and u can't interact with it

[lost lintel]

the window closed for that week friend :/
#event-announcements message

[broken robin]

I assume they mean the new Easter contest. Which is open

[tired mantle]

i did mean the new easter contest

[candid plover]

for the sprite royale could buneary count

cuz like the easter bunny

[broken robin]

I’d say so

I’m planning to make a Lopunny fusion myself

Azumarill is bunny enough too I reckon

[cyan gull]

yes to both

[candid plover]

azurill is an egg and a bunny

azumarill*

[cedar thorn]

....the Cruise chaser?!?

[steady pasture]

Yes, from FF14 lol

[cedar thorn]

@thorn dune high five 👋

[little cypress]

Damn @steady pasture be on a ROLL

[gray igloo]

I kinda remembered the little cup still haven't finished

[cedar quest]

yep. I was gonna finish it up this month, but then IRL stuff happened (not bad stuff, just stuff I am always going to deem more important)

[wide flower]

if i literally made a giant stone rayquaza last night can i use it for the texture contest

[dusty chasm]

hey guys, lemme ask ya, I can only submit one sprite to the texture contest? 🤔

[rough kindle]

unlimited entires

[dusty chasm]

thanks

[limpid sphinx]

maybe if u delete that message that is a proof against u and post it on gallery later

[slender thunder]

what does ymmv mean

[zealous pendant]

Your Mileage May Vary

I'm starting to think that might not have been the best acronym to use Pix

[slender thunder]

i still dont know what that means

[zealous pendant]

It's in contrast to the suggested pokemon. So like, the YMMV pokemon could work but it depends on how you use them and what you're using them for

[slender thunder]

ah

[civic mauve]

I changed it so hopefully it’s clearer now ^^;

[devout lava]

Is there a drive for the bubble sfx event ? I wanted to check every sprites submitted

[wary canopy]

there was a drive in the announcement but its been taken down so might be gone

[cloud solstice]

@slow gyro could we get the old drives in a pinned comment on the thread #1213267805282107402 to use as reference?

[ruby shuttle]

I can't hear any audio⁉️
How would one go about fixing this

[cloud solstice]

what do you mean?

[ruby shuttle]

wait i just realized this is the event general not tech support

My bad‼️

[cloud solstice]

lmao
no harm done

[ruby shuttle]

[stable dirge]

[limpid sphinx]

the turquoise name is looking so good on u

[wicked perch]

event managers too scared to release the audio-only contest 😤

[slow gyro]

That’s the idea, I’ve just been busy

[broken robin]

Mistaking event general as tech support is a time honored tradition

[granite ginkgo]

hello, where can I find how events work?

[broken robin]

#event-announcements or the specific thread for the event found in #1149373303669145751

theres always a few running at a time. they are geared toward spriting tho

[granite ginkgo]

thankyou!

[sly shuttle]

Has the retired spriter become unretired? Regular tired spriter?!

[cloud solstice]

DaTorre is just a tilde now

nvm it's a hyphen now

[heavy furnace]

Can you enter a custom base in a contest or only fusions?

[cloud solstice]

only fusions

[heavy furnace]

Yeah, that's what I figured

[cloud solstice]

maybe they should do a custom base contest

[heavy furnace]

I would love some non fusion contests

I hope they do a costume contest once character creation gets added

[lusty pewter]

lez go making custom meloetta bases :)

[versed ridge]

I will make a base that will get me banned for breaking the rules

[limpid sphinx]

im just tired rn yeah

XD

[naive summit]

We've done a custom base contest before. It was one of my only wins actually lol

Another one would be cool though

[zealous pendant]

We should have a base contest where Howls isn't allowed She's too good

[naive summit]

I still don't know how a silly Shinx won over the epic Gardevoir or Dragonite ones

[naive summit]

I barely make bases anymore I've lacked the motivation for custom poses for a good bit

Except the random sleepy ampharos and Cleffa ones

Idk why those popped into existence lol

[zealous pendant]

The Shinx is better that's how lol

Adorable af

[naive summit]

Ehh I need to touch it up a bit I think

Some of the shading and outline stuff is iffy to me

Also minor funfact

The only reason it's eyes are closed was because I gave up trying to sprite them open at an angle

It's for the best

Eyes are evil

Next to wings and hands

[zealous pendant]

I hate eyes

[cyan gull]

This Dragonite is the bane of my existence

It has a lot of small errors when fusing iirc

[supple mulch]

For SFX contest I can use older sprites?

[uncut shadow]

dont think so

you gotta make a new sprite for the contest

[supple mulch]

Ok thanks for the answer.

Fortunately I have a Regirock/Tyranitar viable.

[keen zealot]

Can anyone run a competition or event?

[wraith dune]

I think you can run unofficial ones

[keen zealot]

Neat! Thanks!

[errant yarrow]

Check out this thread, https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1222376526805209201

[naive summit]

Anyone can run an unofficial event ye, if it gains enough traction and interest on its own, it may even get it's own thread and stuff (that's how the bingo, theme blitz, etc. became official)

[broken robin]

I’d like to see the riddle guessing event get its own thread, it’s hard to keep track of it atm

And it’s a great concept

[wraith dune]

Im going to try to get this done as quick as possible to get it as part of my March line up

going to do Pidgiotto/Marshtomp

[lean brook]

Guys, to particapate in the event do i just have to make a marshtomp fusion or do i need to say anything speical about it?

[steady pasture]

if u mean the POTW, just make a Marshstomp fusion and post it in the gallery before Friday

[lean brook]

Next friday, right?

Sorry that was a dumb question lol

I'll probably make the marshtomp fuse with rockruff since im making a rockruff of each type and i still dont have either ground or water

[shrewd dirge]

Starmie is rideable?

I think salamence is perfect for this royal week

[steady pasture]

Same with Haunter and any rideable mons in Pokemon games (even Machamp from SM)

[shrewd dirge]

Bruh

[broken robin]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_ZspoXSSKM/maxresdefault.jpg

[lusty pewter]

pfft

you better pray for that snorlax to not trip, otherwise...

[odd garnet]

Can you ride a Roserade?

...

Dangit

[lean brook]

Yall think lycanroc fits?

[acoustic saddle]

nah it short

[acoustic saddle]

it can carry you bridal style, (when u r a bebe)

[subtle moss]

Sharpedo's a pretty notable ride Pokémon I guess

Having special animations relating to it in at least 2 games

[lusty pewter]

the lati-twins technically works, although it's their mega that caries you in the game

[shrewd dirge]

I mean, you can ride persian in let's go games right? Lycanroc is bigger than Persian.

[lean brook]

actually

i think lycanroc is shorter lol

persian is like 3'smth and lycanroc is like 2'smth

[acoustic saddle]

u can ride any pokemon, u just need to be creative

[gaunt sigil]

Isn’t swampert a dive pokemon

[shrewd garnet]

the only starter that learns it naturally iirc

[solemn orbit]

Why is machamp here

😭

[steady pasture]

Because u can ride it in USUM and Let's Go

[sly shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/do-bongsoon-carry-strong-tiring-i-can-do-this-gif-10519729

[solemn orbit]

They shoulda had bune-

/j/j

[solemn orbit]

But cant you ride anything?

[acoustic saddle]

you can

[steady pasture]

In Let's Go? No, only 18 Pokemon can be ridden

[solemn orbit]

oh

[wary canopy]

the lets go rides for kanga n machamp r so cute tbh fun theme !

[regal palm]

Explain how

[shrewd garnet]

sometimes you just gotta deal with getting papercuts on your ass

[regal palm]

It's also 1 ft tall

Smol, sharp and angy

[gaunt sigil]

Is Metang a viable option

[lusty pewter]

it's rideable in the anime so probably

[acoustic saddle]

its origami, just fold it into a plane

[regal palm]

Fierce answer

[uncut shadow]

explain

[shrewd garnet]

roller skates but the wheels are this

[cloud solstice]

springs shoes

just make it bite u, then u became spiderman and ride on webs

[gaunt sigil]

Get a bunch of them to carry you, they’re strong enough

[cloud solstice]

Pringle Man getting so many explanations

[gaunt sigil]

I just realized diglet would work for the competition

[gaunt sigil]

Lmao

[lean brook]

Im assuming you can make any fusion for this event if one of the rideable pokemon is head/body?

[broken robin]

I feel like it wouldn’t disqualify you, but it’s probably better if the body Pokémon is rideable

[void sluice]

Paras.

[lean brook]

Makes sense

[slate otter]

i wonder how many diglett/dugtrio are in that clip

[tranquil fable]

Yes

[slate otter]

thx

[shrewd dirge]

That's mega dugtrio

[slate otter]

Sweet

[gaunt sigil]

I swear we had a Machamp base with it’s bottom arms crossed

[cloud pulsar]

pinged for a mini event

[stable dirge]

@edgy storm A hot dog?

[edgy storm]

Tis a dog

[stable dirge]

Ohhhh u rite

[edgy storm]

...just a dirty water dog

[stable dirge]

LOL

[severe plaza]

why isnt pikachu included in the new event

[wind matrix]

pikachu's a rat not a dog

[heavy furnace]

Who let the dogs out?

[cursive brook]

[edgy storm]

🐕 - - - 🐩 --- 🫷 😎 Dogs...what dogs?

[cursive brook]

No, pikachu is a squirrel

Get it right

[edgy storm]

Pikachu is a mutated simpsons character. Just look at the coloration, duh.

[cursive brook]

Im serious btw

[wind matrix]

yr wrong then

[cursive brook]

Nuh uh the creator of pikachu literally said it was based on a squirrel

[heavy furnace]

Source?

[edgy storm]

Source: Just trust me bro

[wind matrix]

side note, why is bulbapedia in black n white?

[cursive brook]

Opposite of pride smh

The people who classified the Pokemon made it the mouse Pokemon as a misconception

[heavy furnace]

I don't know what you're talking out

It's in color, I think you're colorblind

[edgy storm]

Who looked a pikachu, and said "Yup, that's a rabbit"?

[heavy furnace]

Its got rabbit ears

[cursive brook]

I looked at a pikachu and said it’s a pikachu

[wind matrix]

long ears ig

[broken robin]

Pikachu is a neopet

[heavy furnace]

Nah, pikachu is a Palworld

[wind matrix]

they call the creatures palworlds?

[heavy furnace]

Nah, he's the whole game

[wind matrix]

:o

[edgy storm]

Pokemon is clearly just a knockoff of digimon

[cursive brook]

Earth clearly ripped off pokemon

[lean brook]

new theme basically fits me in perfect sync

smh

[heavy furnace]

Why did we have an Easter event that ended the day before Easter and then on Easter we had a dog event

[cedar quest]

well uhhhh

It's supposed to be announced, but holiday plans n' whatnot

[stoic dust]

The hounds are hot on those rabbits' feet. Can't stick around for too long.

[subtle moss]

oh joy, it's a day for jokes

[agile mesa]

No no, He got a fair point.

There’s a ton of normal types.

In fact the number of Normal types are 133 normal types in the entire franchise!

[void sluice]

my man got the business too serious

[worthy shuttle]

🦘

[rapid knot]

How did my Theme Blitz get so many reacts

And why are most of them marsupials instead of canines

[limpid sphinx]

kangaskhan supremacy maybe

[rapid knot]

Also, That One Weird Guy reacted with an otter, which is a mustelid

And frogs and dolphins? I don't think you guys know what a canine is

[solemn orbit]

@civic mauve I caught u

[tawdry oak]

🦘 guys look at my pet dog

[cyan gull]

nice dogs all around, wdym

[autumn epoch]

@timid echo I’m in love with your Bastiodon/Parasect, great job 😄

[raven pulsar]

[stiff viper]

Great work! Seriously you made such a cute gremlin

Also congrats to @rough kindle and @timid echo for first and second place!!

[timid echo]

Ty!

[fervent tartan]

any one know how to dm the owner of pokemon infinite fusion

[steady pasture]

Why?

[graceful plank]

april fools day

[crude cedar]

now they need to announce specifically dark team star revavroom for pif

[wind matrix]

It's not april first yet

[lusty pewter]

it is for me XD

[zealous pendant]

Everyone expects a trick on april first

[lusty pewter]

a trick room? 👀

[zealous pendant]

Is it really fooling anyone if you do it on the right day

[cedar quest]

I mean, you're not wrong

But we have an annoucement before that

[graceful plank]

it is here 🙂

[cedar quest]

Just...kinda waiting around 😅

[lusty pewter]

if there will be an april fools event somehow I think it would be funny to make the most annoying fusions you could think of, either visually or mechanically (as in through abilities and moves it can learn)

[crude cedar]

etu -eGg

[crude cedar]

porygon-z/noivern:

[sly shuttle]

Smeargle/Lopunny:

[crude cedar]

ngl i think i’d make a toedscruel fusion. idk anything bout competitive but i know spore is annoig

[lusty pewter]

lol I would love to hear the reasoning behind those XD

[crude cedar]

no. actually? gallade/garchomp.

I HATED BLAINE

so happy new modern mode is out

anyway i think im gonna forget to change my name tomorrow back to ssunday lol

[lusty pewter]

why the blaine hate?

[crude cedar]

it took me like 10 tries with A GHOST TYPE, A WATER TYPE, literally everything its weak to

and i still couldnt bbeat him

[lusty pewter]

pfft

ok that's fair lol

I have a fusion in mind but it's not exactly IF related. there's a rom hack where 2 pokemon were fused and it has the most broken ability ever, basically making it immune to 8 types and 4x resistant to everything else

[lunar comet]

in before the obligatory anakin skywalker joke

[worthy shuttle]

Eew palossnd

[lilac vector]

Can I submit a sprite I made before the event

[devout lava]

Thanks a lot !

[limpid sphinx]

dw ^^

[wary canopy]

only a single fire sfx entry

[heavy furnace]

Can I make a sprite for 2 contests?

[sly shuttle]

It’s more impressive that your sprite counts for more than 1 contest. Very much legal

[heavy furnace]

Well, I don't know if the bingo is a contest but I was gonna make a sand one for bingo

THIS EVENT IS SO GOOD

HOLY SHIT

[lunar comet]

ohhhh my god

[cedar quest]

The demand for a Non-IF contest has been around for years

[subtle moss]

Heh, this'll be fun to do.

[cedar quest]

We're finally doing one for this TOTALLY real port 🤯

[civic mauve]

@wary canopy and @slow gyro your time has come

[frail bramble]

so its just a non if contest?

[cedar quest]

Pretty much.

[frail bramble]

[stiff valley]

Gordo you missed the memo, april's fools was yesterday

[crude cedar]

BUIZEL TIME
if i have time to do it

[cloud pulsar]

what da heeeeeeell

[light ravine]

HOLY SHIT INFINITE FUSION 3DS PORT

ITS REAL!!

[wary canopy]

can you use old fusions or is the ‘must be made after announcement’ rule still here

[graceful plank]

good april fools event guys I'm keen to see what people submit

[lunar comet]

what format are we using for filenames? since uh. these pokemon won't have any ID numbers

[wary canopy]

this is such a cool contest though hehe

[lunar comet]

would it just be the pokemon name?

[cedar quest]

Pretty much??? Although in this case I'm not picky

[tranquil fable]

Non-IF contest ooo

[plucky arch]

okay now this is poggers

[tranquil fable]

FINALLY

[civic mauve]

Still limited to gen 7 tho

[cedar quest]

You can name if your username, IMadeThis.png, Ihateur_contestsgamr.png, IDK

[tranquil fable]

I CAN USE COMSOG AND MINIOR!

[cedar quest]

Yeah, the IF code only works till Gen 7, we couldn't fix that bug

Oh real quick

[plucky arch]

when is this thing over i might come out of retirement for one day for this

[cedar quest]

Before I forget to do this

[stiff valley]

Guys look at my fusion for the contest is it good

[mint lava]

Yes

[cedar quest]

Disclaimer: The IF 3DS Port is not actually real. It is a running joke between parts of the server.

[plucky arch]

minior/vanillite about to go hard

[stiff valley]

wait wrong resize method

[lunar comet]

...actually this kind of sucks because i usually browse the IF dex to come up with ideas

[crude cedar]

if anyone thinks its real thats their own problem

[wintry mauve]

Wait, it’s not real? 😭😭😭

[lunar comet]

there's no list that i know of for pokemon NOT in if

[heavy furnace]

I'm gonna drop everything I'm working on for this contest

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest are regional forms allowed?

[tranquil fable]

HA, YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME? I KNOW IT'S APRIL FIRST! SO THIS STATEMENT IS A LIE!

THE INFINITE FUSION PORT FOR THE 3DS IS REAL

[cedar quest]

Ehhh.....good question?????? I didn't think of them

@naive summit gimme second opinion if ur around

[wintry mauve]

outsmarted

[cedar quest]

Well, lemme think

[slow gyro]

I’m also a Mime Jr so I vote a yes

[cedar quest]

All Regionals are alted by default

[civic mauve]

Oh, is this contest going to be staff or community judged?

[tranquil fable]

[cedar quest]

Therefore

[lunar comet]

only the normal 3ds, not the xl

[plucky arch]

whatsup pix

[cedar quest]

In spirit of the boring back-to-back classics, Staff is appropriate

[crude cedar]

shoulda made it a gb port

[cedar quest]

Although this time, it'll be Staff+Mimes

[civic mauve]

K I won’t do cosmog then

[heavy furnace]

Is there a list of pokemon for this

[crude cedar]

tasty tasty black and white fusions

[lunar comet]

not that i know of

[crude cedar]

anything not in if

[wintry mauve]

ok guys april fools aside i wont sprite for this but please flood the drive with minior fusions

[lunar comet]

you'd have to get a list of all pokemon up to gen 7, get a list of all IF mon, and subtract the IF mons from the main list

[tranquil fable]

And Cosmog

Space bois alliance

[heavy furnace]

I'm making 3 Buzzwole fusions

[crude cedar]

just have bulbpedia open in one tab and deana in the other

[lunar comet]

which i do not know how to do automatically and i am too lazy to do it manually

[cedar quest]

#event-announcements

[crude cedar]

the power of ctrl+f to find if a pokemon is on one list and not the other

[uncut shadow]

no way a non-if contest?! i thought the day will never come!

[wind matrix]

@cedar quest trubish is in if tho

[lunar comet]

trubbish

[wintry mauve]

You reminded me of this beauty

[tranquil fable]

[wind matrix]

[jade chasm]

[crude cedar]

The COUNT shall REIGN, as I Stylistically and Maniacally Train!

[cedar quest]

I'll say yes to the regionals, use 'em 🫡

[heavy furnace]

I'm going to make 3 fully custom sprites just for this

[slow gyro]

Well now I’m not gonna use them

[tulip tusk]

can we fuse pokemon monsters that aren't even pokemon
like can I fuse this stupid ass final boss

[worthy shuttle]

Hmmm

Ok i gotta think

[cedar quest]

Works for me, less regional I gotta see in this contest (boring) for a port (awesome)

[cedar quest]

Alas, maybe next year

[tulip tusk]

god damn it

I love that stupid boss fight

[worthy shuttle]

Hegegegegge

[heavy furnace]

Isn't Whimsicott in the game?

[worthy shuttle]

wai

It is?

[jade chasm]

whimsicott kill

[worthy shuttle]

Oh nvm

[cedar quest]

byeag

[wintry mauve]

can we just appreciate how much effort he puts in his videos april fools it’s such a good day

[tulip tusk]

sorry I just learned this is a pokemon final boss
what the fuck is this thing

[worthy shuttle]

I forgot whimsicott was in game

[worthy shuttle]

Mega cryogonal

[wintry mauve]

what-

[cobalt cloak]

are ultra beasts allowed?

[cedar quest]

byeagh, those are Gen 7 and not in IF. They allowed.

[crude cedar]

why does it need to be before gen 8 though, they arent pokemon being added to the game so coding limitations dont matter

...So it HAS to be anything past Gen 7...?

[floral vessel]

No gen 9 mons

[heavy furnace]

I need to find some good poses for reference

[wintry mauve]

3ds port is sadly not that powerful 😔

[floral vessel]

It’s gens 3-7

[heavy furnace]

I need some big, buff men

[wintry mauve]

what if this contest is actually a way to add new pokemon and either the head or the body or maybe both of the winner get added

[floral vessel]

Mannnn I wanted to make a car

[icy jasper]

Any means Gen 9?

[heavy furnace]

No, just 3-7

[cedar quest]

Byeagh, we couldn't code the 8+ in the port

[wintry mauve]

like why is it specifically gen 3-7

those are the only mons that can be added to pif

it’s very suspicious

[cedar quest]

I promise you I haven't asked about new additions ||yet||

[crude cedar]

meta april fools

[cedar quest]

Just trying to play into the joke more, by keeping it as real (but also comedic) as possible

[wintry mauve]

is this an april fools prank

[lunar comet]

thank god i'm not the only one who remembers this game

[cedar quest]

Not for y'all

I mean it is

[tulip tusk]

I nearly full cleared this game but lost my ds (and ARCEUS. ARCEUS GRIND.)

[lunar comet]

oooogh rip

[cedar quest]

But y'all have also wanted a Non-IF contest for a long long time
