was this made by many people
's all me! I went sicko mode
look awesome :0
thank! c:
time for round two of mergemay......
my mergemay is my favorite chart I like how chaotic it is
ur idea and style look very impressive :3c
thank!!! I think I've only improved since then too 💪
since it has a lot of different idea and render style so i thought it was a contribution of manys :0
mergemay burnt me out legit lmao
i was bad af 1 year ago lol
esp since i was collecting every single entry
. turn out u wss just that awesome 👏
me too, participate on jergejune was really hard after mergemay ngl
^v^ 💛
japeljuly, only autogen sprites
i found my Spreadsheet i never finished
you all can look at the insanity i did for, 3 weeks
there 100% is
but i did this manually
in fact i recognize your name specifically, only from doin this shit
quite a few names i recognize just from havin to dig up mergemay things
I bet if someone was so inclined, they could use snrasha's site to make collages for each day
so just saving all the sprites to a folder instead of maintaining a sheet
still a bit tedious but I think its doable
this sheet is what got me hired as a Contest Manager
im done with my Spriter era tho now, im retired living on the beaches of florida
i come back like maybe once every other week or so to say hi and check back in tho
you don't need to do mergemay in may, you can do it wheenver
and yeah I barely started on mine last year too 😛
I'm probably just gonna draw concepts the entire month no way am I gonna get a sprite a day LOL
And then I'll just sprite whatever I like and throw the rest into the f2u concepts sheet idk
I am finding it incredibly hard to believe that Mergemay was a year ago. 😮
time do we flying
me too
it was like yesterday
mergemay more like mergemay (but next year)
Hello, @void sluice and I are hosting a mini event if you want to check it out 
#1222376526805209201 message
its 5/1 where mergemay?
bro is time traveling
good job bnnuy
do i get a buneary completionist role? i technically submitted during the rush
oh shit yeah i do
I really love that the Kangaroo became the unofficial mascot of Event announcements
🦘 gang unite
DId they ever make another kangaroo mon after Kangaskhan?
Wdym false? Its the first of may here
btw join the new event it's good 
Until it’s true for the whole planet it’s still false 
Dint think so
breloom kinda
blissey is most likely a monotreme or a very weird bird
if it were to be, like. classifiable as real animal
it's clearly just based on Egg
breloom moves like a kangaroo tho and has the right body type and also kicks and slaps in a kangaroo-like way
mega-Kangaskhan ofc
fuse kangaskhan head breloom body for an ordinary kangaroo
...has anyone done that actually--
noooo they missed the opportunity
So true!
Breloom does throw hands 
So excited for Mergemay tomorrow 
same, soon soon soon
i cant wait to procastinate the first days and post everything a day later like last time 💯
god I wish
god I hope so this time around
i can if i have a good hour or 2 of hyperfocus
not feeling as feral this time
but thats just because my brain snorts metaphorical crack whenever i feel like spriting
not my brain short circuiting whenever I reach a part I don't want/know how to do and distracting myself with videos for 20+ minutes every time until it eventually gets done
definitely won't have any problems completing the mergemay board on time. Not at all
I could totally do a sprite a day and I did do a sprite a day for a while but then it made me hate pixel art for a hot second and I don't know if I've gotten out of that phase yet
im still hating spriting rn but i have a soft spot for inktober like events 
what's mergemay?
Tl;dr an event that last the entire of may, and we get one prompt each day to make a fusion with
i already have something for the first day
the sprite i made yesterday somehow works for it lol
ah
okay
do they need to be new sprites though?
(not that i have a pool of sprites to choose from...)
Yup, You don't have to do them on the same day that prompt is announced, it's fine if you don't do them one day, and they you catch up the other day
oh if that's the case then i'm opening a mergemay for myself just to hold myself accountable on actually finishing sprites 😛
I need my mergemay prompt
Or any new event honestly
I've got a big hole in my spriter heart after finishing the bunnies
If you meant 'hole' your typo made you say the exact opposite of what you meant
*hole
Woopsies
there is a new mini one happening now btw 
Where?
#1222376526805209201 x) the place of mini events
halfway through may 1st and still no mergemay day 1 prompt.. 😔
we need mergemay 😔
Theres also my thing #spriter-general-lounge message in case youre really bored
no way its not may 1st for the entire world rn right?
I mean australia maybe
it's still early in the us
australia might be in the 2nd of may at this point 
oohh they are in 2 and a half hour 
new zealand meanwhile is at 23:40 khdkshj
mergemay when
May 2025

yeah it's almost the 2nd here too lol
I bet you guys sent in too many suggestions, so they need a month just to go through them all
It definitely wasn't me
Is there a new non IF contest?
I saw some people uploading stuff saying that
there isnt
Then why are they uploading non if sprites?
Because I said to.
Posting Non IF
its always a good time to post non if 
Factual.
ever heard of spriting for fun? 
also where my mergemay smh lazy event managers 
i hear non-if, show me chimecho sprites or death
No, I personally torture myself with spriting

Who’s excite for Merge June? 
what r evens
good question
whos exited for merge may 3012?
Mergemay 2013
I loaded up my gun, and I used staff privileges to storm event hq, sadly they relocated elsewhere
I'm on their tracks 
I brought some friends
Mergelate 
burn out challenge my favorite 
i mean that is not already mergemay anyways xd
EXTREME burn out challenge
gambling may
you make 31 fusions everyday
the fusions must be potential prompts
then you just pray you have 31 correct ones on june 1
I've done that many in a week for kecleon I think
i did 50 in a week for voltorb when voltorb rush happened but it was most of them splices so idk if counts XD
all my homies love burnout I drew like 120 things in a month once and never wanted to draw ever again
wasn't even pixel art 
reletable
We got too close to the truth
whats the mergemay theme for today?
Nah bro I locked it for a bit of trolling
good question
maybe well have todays theme by tomorrow, with a little luck 
xD gordo busy ig
it's
…
smeargle would make a great pride month rush since sylveon is done
paint flags on everything
why?
Arceus for pride month - Cause he can be any colour
Or, add quaquaval to the game for the ultimate queer Pokémon
The winner is the one with the most correct prompts
indeed
ooh bruxish would be fun
and the shiny for christmas
My guess is that they set up a bot to post the prompt automatically, and somewhere along the process set the wrong timezone. If that's the case then we will get the prompt 13 hours form now.

We know you've all wanted only male Unfezant for so long
So we're finally adding it to the game with no gender difference!
overthinking 
Wait why are you pulling out spears?
Guilty 😂
i feel bad for pansexuals they gotta be repped by bruxish
💀💀💀
can we give em like
groudon or sum
wont have the colors but hey its cool
us aromantics have it good we have ferrothorn
Granted he has some less than desirable thoughts about slowbro and exeggutors relationship but still 
polyamory friends get dugtrio and magneton so thats cool
i just realized porygon-z has polyamorous colors :0
I thought your rep was Cryogonal
mergemay about to start in may 2
mergemay dropping in june 🗣️ 🔥
jergejune.......
Which comes first Mergemay or end of LC? 
No Mergemay prompt, bad contest.
Mergemay.
Yep
Easy question.
((that’s ur queue do it Howls))
when mergemay prompt post? 😋
I see.
Never.
i ate it sorry
Mergemay is a lie built by the Infinite fusions staff to deliberately bring old Infinite Fusions spriters back to the server, where they will be captured and forced to spend the rest of their days making sprites for the game.
deserved
lol
slaps my lil hands around
I only do like one a month normally so figured id do day 1 and disappear again 😛
based
wait-
WE ARE SO BACK
amazing, now i get to stare at the chart and complain that i didn't do it 😎
I hope to see at least one Spider-Man 2099 for day 6
Marshtomps out for day 7
Ok, now I can procrastinate.
Well... It appears that a new event has started...
Time to go back to PIF spriting >:)
Is revamp an alt theme or is it talking about mergemay being revamped
This seems fun tho
Time to not release my Pokémon fangame demo in order to work on these sprites 
(joking)
Let's see if I can do it with only sandshrews (the answer is no
)
Pretty sure is the alt theme
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1235291806191718503 don't forget to join the Mergemay 2024 Thread 
Revamp is this week' Alt Prompt ye!
holy shit... A whole day of the event dedicated to me as the theme... Truly i am honored... (/j)
I, um have never done one of these types of drawing events before as common as I know they are in art communities, i've occasionally seen art from fandoms and stuff during october for inktober over the years but since I don't actually actively use social media
I don't really fully understand how the rules of this prompt thing work. When it says Aquatic, does that just mean a pokemon with the water typing, or does it have to be a fish? 
Like I see a later one say "Canon" does it mean pokemon like Blastoise?
I think the only one I understand in full is the "opposite types" that would be stuff like Fire & Water or Electric and Ground.
What's your favorite pokemon? 
(in IF)
they're intended to be open to interpretation; so it's entirely up to you! Aquatic doesn't have to be a water type or a fish; Dhelmise is neither of those and could be considered aquatic, for example.
I forget, is oshawott or rowlet lines in?
Hmm
Ok. I was just worried of making something then being slapped with a
"That's not the prompt"
Lugia is also aquatic
Ill just go w favourite kanto and say nidoking or parasect
First sprite down, 30 to go B)
#1235301384774094918
omg that's adorable
I want to poke it
:o
It looks like its wobble and wiggle
Alright
let me see
I wish I could just fill my prompts with spheal but spheal doesn't exist 
I'm gonna go brain storm, tysm for explaining how this works Howls!!
Nah don't stress it too much. So long as you can explain your sprite's connection to te prompt to some degree, you'll be fine.
Do Spheal anyway since spriting is for fun 
That's allowed for the current event?
no
but I will do it anyway personally 
don’t worry mergemay is much less strict than than pokedoku 
I always get frustrated with the harder puzzles, that website's extremely precise sometimes with which pokemon count lol.
I was like super confused one time when I entered Mew as a legendary that learns Earthquake and it got counted wrong
I no longer play that game because mythicals are legandaries 
yes same goes for munchlax

I should make something
when you say "don't post them until that day", do you mean to spritework or to the gallery?
Pretty sure it's spritework, I don't remember seeing any prompt that was for the next day during the last Mergemay
both
xD
Fair enough
yep
but i mean if where u live its day 2 rn, feel free XD
lets go my prompt made it
i wonder if mine will
alright thank you 
yee o/
the billions of sprites posted in like july from mergemay 2023:
lol
Stuff like that is what frustrated me haha
i dont think you'd want that guy repping you
god screw bruxish i actually hope the pride month rush is ferrothorn
atleast your not repped by a dubwool with a rainbow pin
i guess this creatue could rep me too
mergmay collab :0 
i think Imma do chinchou/altaria for Day 1, Regice/milotic for day 2, aaand idk we'll worry about day 3 when we get there
suddenly I have three potentially very complex sprites to make god help me
hey guys I know what my day 2 entry is gonna be
what will it be?
it was joke
joke? 
Yeah I'm not gonna do Gligar/Haunter, there's a t too few
Plus, if I was gonna join I'd like to do sprites that don't have customs yet
with the exception of the first one, which could be a sprite I was gonna do anyway
which already has a custom
Not kidding, that gif should come with an epilepsy warning
the prompt is glitter
hey how come we havent had like a bunch of spriting events where we try to fully sprite a pokemon in pokedex order like ik we had one a while ago for sylveon to fill it
i mean in pokedex order so starting with bulbasaur ect ect
How do you even coordinate that
that way u could use a bulbasaur with everything
yeah that seems like hell to coordinate lol
how?
u do one rush for bulbasaur once its done and some time go by u do ivysaur ect ect
Oh I see
i mean i guess that kinda the point of teams
I think people would get burnt out if we did too many rushes
Can’t imagine people going crazy for ivysaur
thats y i said after some time
Just going by Pokédex order wouldn’t get much interest
it would be way more organised and would make everything usable visually
yeah for filling out all fusions for one pokemon usually itll be planned through pif project teams since there will be a group of people dedicated to finishing one mon
and then theres rushes that are events for one pokemon to fill out every fusion but since its a rush to get it done within a month then its gonna be themed like a pride month rush for sylveon or a easter rush for buneary
i dont think many people care too much about going in order tbh
We would also lose the magic of participating in a rush when it’s scheduled and predictable
ye
I understand the sentiment that it sucks when a pokemon line isn’t complete but our daily spriting efforts are slowly working toward fixing it, even if it’s out of order
Also some rushed sprites like buneary/hydreigon will probably never be seen in game outside of randomizers
Which isn’t really as helpful
yeah prob
i wonder what percentage of people play modern as opposed to randomized
i think team wild tho has things covered on the modern mode front
Maybe there’s someone out there that says Buneary and Hydreigon are their two favorites
Maybe 
yeah like whenever i wanna look at a specific pokemon i look up sylveon on INF dex and since its 100% ik it shows everything
team wild actually focuses more on modern atm
since there are so few of classic left
I made the Regi eggs
most fringe sprite 
wait
theres a difference between modern and classic
man i only play randomized idk what other modes there are 
modern is the only mode Ive actually finished
🫡 gl wooper trooper
thx
you just cant post a sprite before the day
yeah
cool cool
pls dont troll and make a no wooper/quagsire day
Like the theme is just “not wooper”?
Guys am I crazy or can I turn Altaria into a flippin jellyfish for the day 1 prompt?
yes that
just no wooper or no quasire
anything else is allowed
DO IT! IT WILL TURN UP SO BEAUTIFUL!!
IMMA DO IT WATCH MEEE
'
I'M WATCHING, DEAR, I WANT TO SEE IT SHIINEEE
btw Schleepy check dms 
do it do it do it
all prompts are already decided
we’re just revealing a week at a time
Not too late to secretly add the wooper is banned square 
frankensteins a sprite into the sillhuoette of wooper
What was the purpose of optionally providing our username? Shout out to the person that made your favorite prompt?
the purpose was everybody have the option of providing their usernames
hope that its clear rn
quick question can I use galarian ponyta?
for the glitter?
bc if not I have to find another reason why this fucker is barfing rainbow
It would probably be alted if you submitted it as a ponyta sprite
But if you’re okay with that I think you could?
Great
Kantonian Ponyta could work fine with embers as glitter
I mean true but you forgot about how funny this looks
Reminds me of the Gnomes from Gravity Falls
I've got my idea for jungle. Raticate/Cyndaquil. I'm makin a heckin capybara. (Not a reference fusion tho it'll prolly still have flames)
if you do a Capybara I'll be so <3333
YEEES girl flamin capybaras
girl I see capybaras daily :)
I love them
Also I think I'm finally ready to actually start SPRITING day 1
TWILL BE DONE o7

Is there an alt for today, cause I don’t know wtf I’m doing with glitter
The alt prompt is one per week. This week is: Revamp
The simplest interpretation is just redesigning one of your old sprites
bet ive always wanted to do that
maybe if i have time ill do glitter too
I’m saving the alt prompt for Monday. I have a lot of redesigns in my backlog.
are ghost and fairy opposite types?
I wouldn't normally think so. But opposite isn't very well definitely
I would personally call ghost the opposite of normal and fairy the opposite of dark, but that’s all it is, personal interpretation.
Ooh, true. Ghost and normal do make good opposites. For basically every other opposite though I feel like a super effective link should be there
Ghost/psychic, fairy/steel, fire/water, ice/grass
I disagree with dragon being the opposite of dragon
i didn't say a super effective makes them opposite 😛
ground is not the opposite of rock
ooh, flying and ground!
Opposite of rock is jazz
Bug/Dragon could be fun as well if I didn’t already have a drawing for my whale horse
what are you doing? A wailord/rapidash? 😛
I want to take part in mergemay but I don't want to do a sprite a day ourtgh
good news, you can just do the prompts you want to! 😄
Close, I’m using mostly Wailmer for my bingo
I love these
yeah do the ones you wanna do
@silver nova gotta say, that design for skarmory/ralts is just incredible. Amazing to fit such clear design elements from both pokemon into something that looks so unique at the same time 
There’s a lot of logic behind Fairy actually just being the light type with a dumber name, so that’s not a stretch.
I think Dragon is just destructive to everything and is the “only” thing capable of severely hurting other dragons, at least in the beginning. Ghost has the same logic initially, too
light moves are just fairy
"dazzling gleam"
Yes and no. They can also be Steel or Rock. That’s not actually one of the more compelling arguments for Fairy being light
Okay I need to know why people always kangaroo react to the event announcements
wth is that about lol
Big fan of shroom boi
Ok jungle wooper
I have 3 ideas. 1 (the harder one) tarzan but he falls bc he cant swing
or 2 dora
or 3 woopodile
Everything start with this blitz
#event-announcements message
Someone kangaroo reacted
And then event manager said "there is dog emoji why did you kangaroo reacted?"
They deleted massage smh
bc australian
idk what you're talking about, dear, that's a nice dawg 🦘
also I make dora
I hate how I had to have a busy week at the Scolipede mon of the week event
it's fine, you get to enjoy Mareanie 
I hate that Seastar thingy
Mareanie/scolipede 
Me when I upload a mareanie body the day before mareanie is announced as potw 
I have a few toxapex fusions I can make prevos for
Its mainly cuz I cant work with those ugly hair
Vice versa then
Is it required to have merge may in your sprite work title?
re-upload it >:)
nop, just if u want to
but on gallery it is, so it can be easier to howls compile things at the end of the event
Pfffffttttt that's cheating though
nobody need to know >:)
thank you :)
me when I document my crime:
never too late :>
but would it be too soon?
perhaps

Time for me to start on last year’s Mergemay then 
whats project loading???
spritework like always
Are we able to use Previously Made Sprites for Revenge of the 5th?
If so, where do we submit them?
as long as they're not in the gallery yet, and you can check #1197599880827392070 for more info
Uhm guy where do we post submissions
Just in spritework
I did that LAST YEAR for Mergemay the 4th be with you
So they ARE in the Gallery already
yeah, make sure to take a read in
in #1197599880827392070 for more info
for what event?
Revenge of the 5th
ah kk

I think Project Loading was the contest we had to make a loading screen for the game
really cool contest tbh, you can find all the entries here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MBzINeAUujiIEkklpmVulqniRhEO9Rqa and below was the winner
some of my favorites
The one we have is a banger but these are all really nice
yeah I really liked the bottom left one, but I have no qualms with the winner either. it was the winner for a reason.
is the pidgeot holding a mail or a sandwich
im gonna headcanon that as a sandwich
i should save the other loading screens in a collection cuz they all look super cool
kinda wish there was a way to randomize all the loading screens
A contest for the Loading screen of the game
oh howls beat me to it
oops 
Mine's not your favorite
can we see all the participants?
mvm i just need to read
same that would be cool
what do yall think of my POTW entry?
Nice, different take from my Marcool.
Discussing POTW is usually done in #1197974573644255343 though.
Waa you added so much to this 
`We need a non if gen 8 & 9 contest smh
there was a Gen 9 contest a good bit ago
we need a gen 8 and 9 tho
I allow gen 8/9 in my texture contests 
#1213539303876206643 message
Little first event for the GOAT of the Pokémon!
why smeargle is egg? easter? :v @cyan gull
egg painting
but no chansey?
erg
How has Smeargle/Exeggcute not been done yet
do it
said Luxio under a black robe
too many Chanseys are done
interesting they went with orthodox easter for the easter event
||The extra space before the bold O in your announcement is KILLING ME
||
fixed 🙂
pory 

I assume opposite types jsut means one is super effective to the other?
Fire-water, ground-flying, fairy-dragon, ghost-normal, etc
Psychic/Poison?
Types that are thematically the opposite
I think psychic-fighting wohld be better imo
so Dark/Psychic then since Espeon/Umbreon?
Brains vs brawn and all
hmm ok
I think supereffective types work, but there are other justifiable options too
I can't think of anything that would be the opposite of rock
water maybe, Solid vs Liquid
what is the opposite of steel?
fire melts steel, fairies dislike cold iron (or you could do a fantasy v scifi sorta deal), fighting (human vs machine)
leets
I figure that Grass and steel could be opposites too
Nature vs Machines
ye
give
heyo
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
Just stopping by to invite everyone who wants something diffrent to a little event on the Goat thread! Maybe stop by when you have time #1213539303876206643 message !
Non-IF is allowed in texture contests just FYI

....
I started the Kangaroo madness and will die continuing it
...
?
???
Ughhhh I wanna make a magcargo fusion for this texture event now
do it
asking for some opinions on this ^ its no problem if u vote no, i dont gonna feel bad for it, just had the idea and wanted to share
I think the event winner icon should at least be a sprite that won one of the smaller events, not a contest
i mean the contest champion role icon is not a actually sprite that won a contest lol
its just a sprite xd
and since were dealing with the others events as all of them being equal and deserving the same attention(even a role), idk looks fair
but i respect your opinion too
May as well use the reverse of the contest champion fusion if it’s not about using a winning sprite
lol actually a funny idea
never pls lol
idk i didnt suggested mine for any real means, just think it could be cool x)
would goodra be pokemon that could work for the sludge theme?
yeah XD
the suggestions r just suggestion if u have something else on mind that works feel free x)
I didn’t include Ditto/Goodra/Reuniclus for this one since I’m planning on doing another contest later that matches their textures more. But they could potentially still work if you make them a bit more sludge-like
oh, nice
bloob txt awards
Haven’t decided on what to call it, was maybe leaning towards gelatinous tho
translucent non-newtonian fluid
is it non newtonian? idk lol
in terms of reuniclus' case certainly
I got a lil badge!
I got a feedback giver badge for talking about goats for hours in a spritework thread 
That's Great lol
Goomy/Sliggoo/Goodra (assuming not viable bc not in dex?)
what do you mean with "not in dex" ?
creating horrors
You could attempt to make them look non-Newtonian but that’s incredibly hard, and based on the lore I don’t believe there’s any non-Newtonian fluid in Pokémon (that we’ve seen thus far)
youre saying there isnt a cornstarch-based pokemon?
smooblech the haunted oobleck pokemon
Yeah no.
Although that’s the most commonly known non-Newtonian fluid, it certainly isn’t the only one
Just stopping by to invite everyone who wants something diffrent to a little event on the Goat thread! Maybe stop by when you have time #1213539303876206643 message !
Oh, hang on, I just confirmed, there ARE non-Newtonian fluids in Pokémon, but they are not Pokémon
Toothpaste head takes the win
that's just a lot of hair spray 
Caramel drizzle is also often a non-newtonian fluid
Apparently magma is classified as a non-Newtonian fluid according to wikipedia
So Slugma and Magcargo both count ^^
I believe if the plasma is behaving like a fluid then yes, it counts. That’s a little misleading though because plasma and “fluids” (liquids and gases) are distinctly separate states of matter, but both plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates are WEIRD AF so I guess they can be multiple UGH
Of course the term fluid does also confuse it because that’s a category and not a state of matter but it includes two states of matter so

You should reveal the next prompts soon 👀
wat
Only one more mergemay prompt is known right now, I'd wager they mean
No it's May
More Mergemay prompts pls 
im gonna see what i can do for u all
You guys are in marsh?
is mergemay event open for everyone?
It has a few steps you need to go through to participate.
- Make fusion (optional)
That’s it
feel free ^^ any artist can participate
not even artists tbh, if someone want to join the thread and pop with ideas or just for good conversations, everyone is welcome ^^
i think you can even fill the chart with designs only
so when do the 2nd week of prompts get revealed?
check back in at 12am est on the 1st of june 
Aight
Later today, once I’m off work (if Howls don’t do it first)
Does anyone know if we are allowed to do previous sprites/prompts that we missed for merge may?
Go ahead! Plenty of people have been entering late and posting their own submissions late
sure
Ok good 
what matters is that you don't spoiler your sprites showing them before the day 
but mainly have fun and make them!
yeah
also yeah
byeag
byeagh
That's what I should have done
Time to work on my day 31 sprite 
Cofagrigus and Yamask are about to explode in popularity
i think you only have porygon
There’s probably going to be something written with the rocks. It could just be the 5th alt prompt
Im trying to see how i can do it without the obvious fusions
poo
poop
Are references sprites allowed to be used for events like mergemay
ye
I am genuinely interested in the dex event
You mean how you can treat the mergemay prompts like dex entry prompts?
That's not really an event; it's just something people are doing alongside the actual event.
Or, maybe it's considered an event?
But that was never the intention of Mergemay
i assume they mean the elusive pokedex mini event?
maybe? #1222376526805209201 message if i wasnt away from home for a bit i’d have joined as well it seems fun ((not too restrictive +not too much dedicated work is always a win for me fjsjdn)) 
are you enjoying it, ribbon? 
Yes!!

I'm glad! have alot of fun and rest well!
Kinda feels weird to have one of the days be about a specific country
pory 
why?
It’s very prominent in media, so there’s good chance of the average spriter having some knowledge about it
there's also mons directly inspired by it
I think the only culture that'd have even more and obvious ones would be ancient japan (for obvious reasons)
Spoilers for next week
That's because you don't know the original name for that prompt 
What
It was just Lucario or Riolu as the prompt
Better than that
I thought that was what Howls said it was. What was the original?
"Can I just get some more riolu sprites cause I ain’t talented enough to make my own Ty"
That was the prompt 
That didn’t fit on the sheet 
Lack of effort 
Imagine that was an alt prompt 
why it is weird lol
Cuz it’s just one specific country for a theme
Cofagrigus is pretty explicitly Egyptian themed as is
are there any cofa heads left 
probably yes
and cofa bodies can be a lot cool too
im taking cofagrigus/oricorio
sensu
if ya do one, why not do both

ou baby
ohhhhh that can be so cutie

that ones in spritework atm 
Just stopping by to invite everyone who wants something diffrent to a little event on the Goat thread! Maybe stop by when you have time #1213539303876206643 message !
we are popping up here too as we announced the winner for week 1 of the Elusive Pokédex #1222376526805209201 message as well as the next prompt #1222376526805209201 message 
I've done a couple where I got up to 3/4 oricorios and was like 'nah I'm done'...then nobody did the fourth
As I go on my oricorio journey I will endeavor to help out with that
Oricorio will see completion years after we stop putting in new mons lol
they are really complex mons so i wouldn't be surprised
I might Pokéfan Oricorio too, considering Team Wild keeps throwing them at me (looking at you, Knilk)
the big question is if each oricorio type is a different pokemon
They are different Pokémon in-game, but for Pokéfan they count as 1
wait, they do??
damn if that's the case I'm halfway there already
Yes
A friend!! I'd have a buddy to help me work on the dance birbs
i need to make 2 more bird
Good luck, I need to do 11 crabs for poke fan (50)
Does superfan count if you do a mix of Oricorios or just one type?
If it’s separate in the dex, then it should be separate for Pokefan
Weird, but ok
it's the same pokémon, the only thing that change is the typing
that's all
they don't have exclusive movepool, different BST, etc ...
Does the same apply for meloetta and necrozma?
meloetta has a different stats
and ultra necrozma is a different pokémon from necrozma, just that it's only a battle encounter only
It would be hilarious is someone did a pokefan for all 4 deoxys forms or the 6 rotoms
Despite them not being separate
same with giratinas, dialga, palkia, arceus
I believe the shared pokéfan rule for oricorio applies to meloetta as well
Idk what the deal with necrozma is, but I imagine it's a similar situation
we got mantine twice 
Mantwice
Amazing
make two of them
everyone make a Mantine self fusion
milk texture contest when
so true
that would just be a miltank classic contest pretending to be a texture contest
ohhhh
ooo swirly froth 
It’ll probably just be a liquid contest, but Miltank will definitely be on the suggested mons list for it ^^
Hey so what happened to LC3? I don't remember it ending
Are you planning to make physical swirl shapes like it’s whipped cream, airy and frothy?
quickly realized i cant keep up with mergemay at all
What a shame. Still, I hope you had some fun playing along for the time you were participating 
definitely, my jirachi sableye was super simple and yet its currently my fave sprite of mine
Jergejune for you
summer break often happens in june right?
Mine starts near the end of May
so... maybe jergejune could be real?
basically june atp right
Definitely real for a lot of people who can’t do a sprite per day. Especially with finals.
yeah may's the month right before summer break so its a lil tough for some ppl
How about we do Spri-july next year
From what I’ve heard, the same thing happened last year
Funnily enough May is the calm before the storm for me... I work at a library and June is when summer reading kicks into gear.
i will die if there is jerge july i got artfight to attend to
but that’s not everyone LOL and i really like these monthly prompts

sprite fight
jergejeru
It was only a matter of time until someone brought it up again 
Truth be told................................................I just don't feel like doing it
plot twist i get the money we all laugh
money? 👀
Winner of LC3 gets $100
i doubt my sprites are still in the running tho probably have been out of it ages ago
The choice and choicen’t awards are a literal free-for-all
But they were probably decided long ago
heheh yeah
theres also two heads that apparently need an alt.... i have no idea how to find out which two those are
oh wait i think i can see it now
nope nevermind cuz theres 4 entries with -a.png
Hey, I'm interested in maybe working on some sprites, but I have no clue how things work
time for milktank
What are the weekly things in the announcements?
rule2 challenge
its just side content to give us entertained :,v
What's the main content?
a good way to start would be from #spriting-guidelines & #spriting-discussion
ive only done day 1 mergemay
do musclemay
copy paste, shrimple as that
no copy and paste allowed
only custom bases
also they all have to be looking like 3d models
while using a pixel art program
Hmmm
By show of hands, does anyone like the idea of a concept art event? I wanna see about boosting the participation in concept art works and I figured it could be a good thing to really get that going
yes 🔥
i need practice with it
me and ssunday had the idea to do some kind of event where you submit your fakemon and then get to fuse someone else's fakemon, is that something that could get an event (or is it only in-if stuff)?
Id be down to see it! Could just hold a separate non-if thing for that so it shouldn't be an issue
Gonna be honest: Frog has made it quite clear that non-if events within the server should be few and far between (as the entire point of events is to incentivize sprite creation for the game itself)
Ah. Mmmkay
working on mergemay entries 
suddenly getting inspiration for a whole fakemon evo line 

i can do a mean concept art
ooh id be down :3
also dont forget about the telephone one :3
Please be honest is my thing even close?
maybe it is maybe it isnt 
YOU UNDERSTAND
I love doing concept art
I'm hyped for this texture awards
Cause I made something for it hehe
im down for a concept art event, but if theres any kind of winner it should be one for art skill, one for the design alone
this is not me saying im insecure about my skills or anything, nooooope 
guys join who's cool event or else im turning you into a regice
Oh noooo
Then I'll be caught by some random trainer and stuck in a box for all of eternity
Unless they fuse you
For the weekly event (this weeks' is mother's day), how do you submit it? Do you have to place special hashtag, ping,or anything?
you submit it in the gallery and call it "Milian royale week (whatever week it is)
Log bait + 2.6 hog cycle
If anyone wants to join there is still time cuz I got asked by some people to extend it!
Now you have time until <t:1716042600:F>!
I invite everyone to join this little fun contest!
Here you find the contest! #1213539303876206643 message
Would be lovely if some of you join!
sounds interesting
i usually spend no effort on my concepts and do most of the work on the sprite
event general
event general
event general
gevent eneral
gerent eneval
Don't spam.
It was at this moment that I remembered just how "general" the "general audience" of Pokémon is
so in regards to the mothers day event, do we need to put our sprites in a doc like some other events have done in the past?
Nope, just the week number and prompt in the #sprite-gallery post
okie let me fix that than
So as I've found out, the Hero/Villain prompt is supposed to be one or the other
but is a single sprite that does both allowed?

Did Gogoat get added?
Nope
Not yet... But hopefully in the future and when that happens we have sprites for it!
(the missing starters are more likely to be added
primarinaaaa
@slow gyro sludge SFX contest results soon? 
That’s not up to Hero; that’s Pix’s event
And they already said there would be delays due to IRL responsibilities
Ahh - thank you! 🙏
Still, Gogoat is sick for fusions and everyone who doesnt think so didnt even try!
rowlet also fills that orb void that everyones been craving
indeed
But I think togedemaru would be funnier to have
also incineroar line makes for more cat fusions
instead of relying on meowth
and persian
(Also samurott/darkrai=Samurai
the entire rowlet line has different themes so i think itd be neat
Baltoy..... minior....lotad....
elgyem
me
you
hello people of the event
does porygon-z body count as levitate, as it is levitating?
Yes
What pokemon would be good for a galaxy theme
Rn I’m thinking clefairy and palkia
Any others
No
cresselia 
I meant, how do I participate? Or even just submit my own sprites as suggestions.
Each event has rules in the pins. You should get the spriter role first though
There’s one event in #1222376526805209201 being proposed that’s geared toward concept art too, if that tickles your fancy
This
Hasn’t formally started yet tho
I have no clue how to do that, but thank you.
i would suggest reading in #1134483288703119361 and #spriting-guidelines ! :D
specifically the pinned thread in apply for spriter
and if you ever get the spriter role, you could try joining my event !@ #1222376526805209201 message
deoxys, jirahci
Clefairy is usually moon and/or stars, Palkia could work on a large scale, you could also try searching the whole Discord server for posts with the word "galaxy" in it with any media, maybe get some ideas that way too
Hey, they were talking about my event, you can just create normal art (not sprites) if you wanna participate. I think tracing over other concept art to create a sprite would be good for you if you want to learn spriting :3
Deoxys is from space too
not anymore
Aren't the staryu and clefairy line from space too?
?
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire claims that staryu flashes to communicate with the stars, but this isn't seen in any other dex entry
Starmie is said to be sending mysterious radio signals, and Pokemon Stadium says that it may have come from outer space
However, since the only mention of starmie being from outer space comes from gen 1, the 'not anymore' might refer to GF changing their mind about that?
No, wait, that comment came after the staryu thing
I don't know then :P
youre not a mod anymore
@cyan gull what normal mon is play able in smash? :v
Incineroar, Pichu, Pikachu, Lucario, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard
and Greninja
it would be wider if it was just : appear in smash
normal type 
jigglypuff too
oh i forgor
normal fairy
sadly only Jigglypuff would fit the Normal Type Playable Smash pokemon
it's Smash Pokemon + TCG Colorless pokemon
:v oh, well do we have special colorless card of those smash mon?
I think you misunderstood it
it's any pokemon in smash
