nope, not this time
Damn
No, I saw someone else.
I did a dif meloetta 
Froslass, maybe?
Meloetta is pretty 
It's a smaller body than Milotic but it can hold some details.
Cute Skitty ear hoodie with big loose sleeves and a false tail in the back. Or maybe it's a real tail, up to you.
I shall do this yes thank you
Idea has been stolen graciously taken
You're welcome~
Now im gonna go back to sleep and draw that later 
go get some rest! takes out sleepy hammer
Oh mah gah that is gorgeous, hex~ One of my faves too~
thank you :3
Should we post our concepts for the concept contest in #1263858526829416539 ?
I thought we should but i heard somewhere we shouldnt so idk lol
you should if you want feeedback but it's not necessary
#event-general message I asked about it a few hours ago here
I still want to post mine anyways 
go ahead, would love to see what concept you make 👀

ccus thats all i can do
I'd wish (I can't draw)

I can't even sprite that well too
:o pls be kind to yourself, your stuff is great
Do what u did for our spriter telephone thing :O
Its like making a normal sprite but on a wayyyyyyyy bigger scale and also details that dont necessarily fit the guidelines
well i made that , it was just a sprite tat need touch up lol
I mean the swablu u made

Monke
b
so its a sprite 😛
😨
music monke
just make a 288x288 size pixel-art concept art I think that should count
I think... 
Or remake your sprite with modeling clay
meow
They should’ve give examples
probably yea
I was gonna say I will be making a concept art to win
Next thing you know someone makes a masterpiece and just says “That’s how I make concept art)
join us
Hehehe
one of us... one of us...
I’d prefer an actual example

And not just sending people there
Posts my concept arts
Not mine
Made by @ theredesigner
also I think the vagueness is part of the contest, somewhat. any will work since people make concept art differently
I see I see
if the point is Concept art for sprites, then what matters is how well it can be translated to a sprite
just that
you can even draw in a paper with a pencil
and send a pic of it to the drive
that works too
if its well done and could easily be translated to sprite, works.
Spriteability very important
Especially for Pokemon design density
Now im nervous about my sprites lol,,,,,
Characters interaction
exacttly
for that reason my tip is focus on your concept outlines... 😛
Like i think theyre ok but what if tjeres a detail im missing O^O
character interactions? 👀
How do your sprites act in real life?
If you can’t answer that
Don’t bother joining this contest
like follegee made a full pledge art as concept lol

Maybe its like. Does the art have ~character~? Does it tell a story? Etc
so are u telling me that my pc screen is not real life...
ooh maybe

XD
we live in a simulation
datorre be living in an actual metaverse 
concept is one thing, the sprite result is another big part
like even the concept was amazing, it not 100 sure the sprite will be the same, too much detail in concept for ex
you just described most of my concept arts 
and also a great spiter can even make a great sprite just from a simple concept art
but I no wanna looooose
y'all are so talenteeed

so just judge the concept based how good the art are, seem quite unfair for the potentially one
drew it
yus I will, tomorrow cuz it's getting late XD
I also wanna quickly join the scale texture contest, not sure if I will win tho considering hero is in and their tyrantrum sprites are legendary
now im nervous if my drawing will be good for spriteability 
you all have one thing more than me
concept art
i don't know how to make concept art
so basically ... i'm (almost) always spriting without a concept art
but yeah, i have the concept in my head but i can't make concept art x)
What's the concept?
i'm talking in general
Oh ok
the only time i tried to make a concept art it was .... bad, really bad
do what I do, just don't worry about it 
I just decide to screw the spritablity and make concept art that's good enough XD
anyways, for the concept art contest, it's non if plus if right ?
cant be that bad
yeah
i make stick figures
Lol
non if + if
any non if ?
This is what I have for concept art
non-if that's on the list in the event announcement
Whoever guesses the pokemon gets absolutely nothing 
also that's cool, what is it fused with bitw? I kinda see metalic parts and leafy-veins on the arm
that's tropius?! 👀
Tropius and lugia
I could've sworn it's a metalic fusion
especially with the segments on its belly and neck and stuff
it looks like metal plating XD
or at least to me it is 
Tropius has leaf armor I'm pretty sure
And the thing separating the top and bottom part of the mouth is on tropius too
ooh, ok I didn't know tropius has that neck part
Ye
Yeah
but no, apparently it's flat like metal sheets
Yeah
darn you tropius XD
I also changed the things on lugias back and tail into bananas
I'm bad at drawing bananas so if they didn't look like them it's on me
Once I add color everything will be more visible
yeah I think colors would def help
as for the banana, you could try adding skin lines to show the shape more
at first I think those are flat metal sheets that looks like those propellers/side wings of a plane
Is this better (sorry if I didn't understand what you meant)
yeah, the line doesn't exacly show the shape of the banana well but that's what I meant
Wasnt there a size guide for the concept contest? They had to be square
I think? I wasn't too focus on the square canvas tho ngl I just draw whatever and most of the time it works cuz melo's body is so small you get extra space to move around with
Never heard about that lol
one of the very few benefit on spriting meloetta fusions XD
i submitted this for the concept art contest : (bergmite/goomy)
kinda hard to see gomy but it looks cute
wanted to have the bottom half kinda melting so i choosed goomy for this
iirc that was rule 4 that got removed
Oooh ok
me
I am going to make Anti-Propaganda and come up with a concept art that shows why you really do not want Kommo-o added to the game because spriting that is a nightmare
I submitted this
him BOOTS!!
it has much thicker outlines than I do in concept art for myself so it's somewhat spritable to others after shrinking
hey guys, is it a good thing if the more i progress on a sprite the more i want to kill it ?
That sounds very good and normal and definitely like a healthy progression
i mean, one of my layer is this 
Hmmm now I want to kill it
i only have the eyes and hands left to sprite before posting it in spritework, do you want me to ping you when it'll be in gallery ?
I feel like I will regret this, but yes
Yeag
My attempt at progress
what is dna doubles?
Could somebody submit my concept arts to the contest 
I cant submit things to drives
mobile curse?
SOCK PUPPET STAFF ICON!!
I would also like to know this
how far in is the game?
Tried tourney for the first time, wholloped on the first round. Full Team got Nuzloked and whited out 
Last tourney I got pretty far
with a 30 minute team
maybe I'll particapate next time

Doubles is just NOT refined at all lmao
I had no clue there was no species clause for it 
That is why the Porys are banned next tourney
Imma hide in my bubble and ponder about the meaning of life
(nor I tbh)
submitted my entries 
Is the tourney still going?
I don't think the winner has chosen a mon yet though
imagine if he won because he likes showdown and not because he knew there was an event
Chad
Walks into the sunset leaving the server behind
-1 mon choice
i call dibs on the mon choice if they don't choose one /j
i mean some will rejoice because that means less competition for their favorites wanting to get in
can I show a concept for the concept art event? I just want to show this design
Man, I really wanna put this nice detailed thing (a night sky with moon and stars) in my concept art, but maybe a boring design would be safer because it's easier to sprite.
I kinda want to polish this concept
Furfrou has so much DP but barely anybody wants it in
AWESOME DOG!!!!!!!!!!!
I want it in because you basically have the power to add whatever color and fur designs you want because that's the theme of furfrou
but also CHIMECHO RAAAH
I feel like escavalier has a ton of potential too but im just blanking on what to do with it 
But yeah chimechos fun
how about fusing it with arcanine? have it be a dogo knight with jousting spear (or a real one, which ever works)
What does DP stand for besides Diamond Pearl, dog points? Design potential?
do pets
:,v sound like the last option
Ooh, I see~
I made it up but yeah
Design potential
That's not usually what those two initials stand for (in English anyway)
Yeah no. 
Hence why I never explained
Like I said, that's statistically most common. Do a poll family feud style and I guarantee it's #1
I have no clue what's being referred to but am curious
Please don’t feed into this lol; carrying this out is just juvenile
i love dp
its my fave gen : >
you might think I'm joking but I actually don't know what dp means... in general. I just assume it means "potential" or smth
oh wait I just realized what it is
See why I’m trying to get them to change the subject then? This isn’t the proper venue. . .
Anyways
XD
How long is it until elusive Dex results are out?
My guess is it’ll be out before the emote/sticker contest; so soon-ish?
eh sometime in 2025
I thought it was 3025 👀
5052
6
6 bc?
5
4
3
1?!
.99

.989

.9889
worse countdown in history XD
It will be ready in [square root of pi] seconds
Lemme see where I ended up (I know for a fact I ain't winning that shit)
I was one of the first submitted so I probably ended up low as the standards wouldn’t have been set by the time they got to me
i cant say cause rule 2 :>

Fun fact: the guards were told they’d go unpaid if they laughed… and the names used were different for every take so they couldn’t see it coming
This is all improv
I think I know what THAT one stands for.. eugh.
I am good staff 
There should totally be some punishment for asking for contest results, like a 6hr delay or something. ||(I'm looking at YOU @slow gyro!)||
If a piss name can ask so can (or I guess a drywall name for now)
Im not asking for the results of LC
Im asking for the polls
Lmao
You need to start being more patient
Ive waited for LC for months
You can wait some days 
ok but like
what if
I am asking for contest results 
so if I had a say, that's 12hrs now... Jeopardy music plays in background
Not again, Idk how to submit to the drive from my phone even with the app. 
And I just spent too much time getting mad at my phone for not letting me rename the photo.
mobile curse strikes again
Am I supposed to use the Share function after uploading to my own drive? Recipient being the link to the event drive? I see no other way of moving it.
There isn't even a convenient + button on the event drive.
Emote Results when? 
I dont even care about placement (lie) I just want Nerd Bifable
you could always ask a trusted person to upload the file for you to the drive
👑 ❓
We need more emojis!!!!
we're emoji hungry (not really)
How come other people can upload files for me but I can't? :/
👑

"you think your the king im the king"
Is it because I'm neither a Contributor nor a Manager for these shared drives that I find myself unable to upload?
I really don't want to ask someone else to do it for me, but I'm receiving no help when it comes to doing it myself.
Google Drive is just Mean Like That sometimes, especially on mobile
Might it be that your storage is full?
You won't be able to upload if that's the case
I uploaded to my own drive just fine because it has the + button on the bottom right.
And if you try to upload something, can you see the upload document on the upper left? I don't have experience with google drive on mobile though
Normally it wouldn't matter if you're a mod or a contributor, everyone can upload, check your wifi settings and stuff, turn it on and off again, all that stuff
Check if you're uploading in the right folder
Might be a reason too
I can't get the shared drive to appear on my app, only on the browser and the upload button isn't there.
When you go to your browser on your mobile, make sure you turn the desktop mode on
Oh, that changed everything.
You uploaded?
The button exists on the upper left and File Upload is an option. 😮
Okay, I just have to fix the file name which my phone somehow won't allow me to do..
That's how google drive on the computer usually works but you gotta enable it in the mobile browser 😁
Mobile really is trash.
To fix the file name, make a copy and rename the copy, that would work too
Finally, I did it. Mini, you're my hero. Thank you so much.
Hope people enjoy seeing it. :3
I can see a Gothitelle Gardevoir, which is really beautiful!

The details in the umbrella are 💯 ✨ Love it!
100% not for spriting, just for looks. 
Oh, you made the Florges next to mine~
Yup ☺️
Very festive and colorful, I wanna dance with her. 💃
Right! She's so peaceful too ✨ Super glam glam
I tried to make the dress look majestic with petals
It's giving Mardi Gras vibes.
Don't worry I worked on a Sprite for the exact same fusion for elusive Dex
With the eye makeup that looks like a mask, yeah 😁 It needs a machamp or machoke counterpart to dance with her
Maybe a thing for Nottomention if Florges gets through
Yeah.. mine has one as a butler. 😮
That's awesome
I feel like Florges is an underrated candidate. She gets plenty of my support~
There are so many pokémons that deserve support 😄 Like I'm just going for all cat pokémon, on second place every flower pokémon, including the entire Beautifly evo line and then the rest on third place
I would like to sprite things like Florges and beautifly more but sadly, it might not be something people would want to finish the E4 with
I'd go for an all beautifly run though
I have a mix of humanoids and mons with more human features at the top. :/
It's easy to sprite fairies or star guardians or super magical girls with 💯 I love them too
Oh, with Beautifly?
Beautifly and Gardevoir
No updates on the chosen Pokémon for Tourney 4?
Bro is snoozing
reading backlog and so mad i missed the furfrou talk :(
Bro Just apeared out of nowhere and won
He won for our v creates
But they cant chose mithics,can they
No legends, mythicals, or starters this time. 😦
Só yes He cant chose victini
or ultra beasts
I Love that restriction for the general public but i think the winners could chose mons that are not starters
Do the winners have a time limit for how long it can take for them to decide on a mon to pick?
Would it be rude to Ping him?
i think we should give it to the runner up at this point lol
Gang it hasnt even been 24 hours 
the chad who won the last tourney still not knowing he could add a pokemon to the game

That was all my fault, I only messaged him this morning 
I thought this guy was gonna be like these people that don't look at explosions in movies. Wins a tournament, refuses to elaborate and leaves lol
no gogoat 
based pick honestly
Well, is good
im just praying i have a shot at least in the dex entry contest
thats the only one i think i have a reasonable chance in
in which case woo minior
i dont have hope for myself in the elusive dex contest. I like my sprite but I feel my dex entry is on the weaker side.... and there are so many entries... 
No worries, it doesn't really impact anything until the entire event is over anyway, people are just super impatient 
They just got used to receiving the news just a few hours after the tournaments
i think my entries have some fun ideas, but idk what the grading is based on
Just need to wait and see
Dex entries are always rated the same:
they must be grammatically accurate and include correct spelling and proper (essential) punctuation.
The entry must make sense and be a cohesive and viable entry.
The entry must tie into the fusion itself and make sense for the sprite for which it was written.
I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?
okay i think my entries do good at that criteria then
yanmega didnt got a new icon, sad
Didn't realise the new icons had been applied. How sad to find out I had 0% success 
there isn't really an idea size, it's just to keep in mind small details will be hard to see
I wonder how suitable my submissions are 🤔 whenever stuff like this gets announced i get nervous lol
I don't really have small details but I have a very big canvas so I wonder how that will size down
Normally i dont shade my art beause it looks clearer when downscaled but i wanted my stuff to look pretty this time so i went for it anyway, hope that doesnt sacrifice too much
I tried to make it as simple as I could but when it comes to making things pretty, I couldn't help myself with the embellishments. I really should know better as one who made concept art for some time now..
same
glad I did solid shading tho smooth shading is more likely to become a blur when shrunken by a lot in my experience (could partly depend on the program used tho)
i wonder how big the google doc squares gonna be then
cause like you lose a LOT of detail if its gonna be like 100 x 100 or something
well if it's going to be barely bigger than our spriting canvas it's not much of a concept anymore
it should be 50x50 
let's just do 1x1 the person whose colours merged into the pretties shade wins
it seems like a lot of people don't know where the #64bit meme comes from so here's the source
LC when? 

out of curiosity this is mine shrunken down to 100 canvas so it fills out the whole thing (using jaggies/nearest neighbour transform tool setting) would see how it looks with normal canvas shrinking but fire alpaca can't do that well
crunched
crunched indeed
I still don't know what that is
little cup
#special-contest-polls has the most recent little cup i think
which people could enter as many sprites as they wanted iirc, i dunno how many entries they had
i should enter more little cup contests
i like making little sproots
idr what i placed with this guy
tiny
the littlest little cup.....
tiny meta my beloved
i should make a chart with all the little mon fusions left
oh god thats so many little mons
You hate yourself apparently
She serves
Not as much 
Who counts as little mons? Do they have to be below a certain sprite size, a certain Pokedex height/weight, unevolved?
heres the image from lc3
basically first stage mons
petition to add duraludon to lc
why no ditto
ditto bodies are small
(if there is ditto and I just can't see it it's a good sing I need to go to sleep
)
(I think you tuned out the real sign in your message)
I think any mon that wasn't originally intended to evolve should be booted from consideration. Onix and Scyther are NOT Little Guys. Gligar can stay though.
Onix got that little BST
it's 3am too late to brain
And some single stage pokemon like Corsola deserve to be included. Little Guys != Little Cup
little cup is only for the 1st stages of mons with evolutions
this is how a showdown format called basically
kiwi stole the name and concept shame on her
ditto had a dream to evolve
Dittaugh
It was really close; there were a lot of good submissions
it seems like neither of my three entries made it into the contest з: oh well
can't even find them in the contest results sheet
Same
no wait
it seems that uh
they're publishing results like
tier wise
so its like we rushed them to get the winner out they just need to put the result of their judging in
thats my guess
i got an A-tier so i dont really care either way if i didnt win its a good showing
Seems like a filter was applied and wasn't taken off
out of curiosity around how many entries did you get?
oh wait nah
(did not even try to participate)
I can count real quick
poor guy
oh, it's true, there are finters on
I'm just kinda curious since seams like this was accessible to a lot more people in the server than the spriting events and I know those got a lot of entries
55 entries
@rapid knot is it intentional or we should navigate the filters by ourselves? I didn't even realise they were on until Tower mentioned it
just saying, maybe mention this in the announcements post so people who don't know much about excel aren't confused?
Is there a filter already on by default or something?
yes
Woo, 1 A but 2 Bs
I will see if I can replace the announcement link with a version that doesn't have a filter on
when I opened the sheet, it only showed me A-tiers, one C-tier, and the winner
and when I changed the filter, it showed me all entries
I was in the process of removing the filter and that Docs page loads SO SLOW for me it took forever 
my A tier doesnt even have a comment lol
We only put comments on entries that we felt needed one
Not having a comment is typically a good thing
I tried to only put comments when there was something that needed fixing or would have been a higher tier with an edit
One B and Two Cs
oof ouch owie my grammar
my one A-tier was repetition, but I wanted to connect them claiming a tree, and then using that tree for their needs
aight, looks like I got B-tiers on all my entries, fair enough! I'm not a native English speaker and looks like some of my phrasings were confusing 
I'm really curious what the winner will choose to add to the next vote :3c
we had almost 150 entries, and over 50 of them wound up being A-tier (so effectively, in the running for the winning entry). It was a LOT 
i dont understand b tiers comment though. Im guessing it was too much of a stretch
It was great to see people from so many parts of the server participating
but also the idea that Swampert canonically stacks bolders to make an adobe, and Charizard can melt boulder with its flames. so as a Fire/Ground they stack boulders to protect themselves from storms
mad props to you guys reading that much 👀 must've been really difficult to sift that bulk
I disagree with whoever said a comma was needed
The Elusive Pokedex contest still has to be judged, too 
Even being a native English speaker doesn't always help 🤣
was trying to apply some of my writing skills from reading English texts of various levels of literary value but I still have lots to strive for
we broke it up, but it was still a lot
Honestly
There are lots of people that seem to really struggle with things like using punctuation and capitalization
subject-verb agreement and plurality consistency are also really big hurdles for many of the entries
Would “sloth toes” and “ant mandibles” be incorrect grammar?
The most common mistake I've been seeing would be people forgetting to separate different adjectives for the same noun.
...What?
I'm too Russian in mind when it comes to writing. stupidly long sentences with lots of confusing participles and adverbial participles and all that stuff les gooooo
order also doesn't matter in Russian but it absolutely matters in English
From the Wikipedia page for the King cobra
I'm gonna go now; it's getting late for me
yeah, and that's one of my main weaknesses when it comes to English
that and the usage of times
Cya 👋
POKENAME shells support a serene coastline. The gentle sounds of the waves keep POKENAME fast asleep most days.
I assumed using the species name as a label on the shell indicates ownership enough
without an apostrophe it is an adjective, which means the subject of the sentence, and thus half of the entry, is the shells. Possession in grammar is shown either by an apostrophe on the noun, or by adding a prepositional phrase AFTER the noun: [Shells of POKENAME]
or [POKENAME's shells], they both work
Reading comprehension failed me because Arbok is a true Cobra, fml
||Yeah sorry
||
this is correct, but the noun in those examples is the body part. If POKENAME is used in this way, it's an adjective
Thanks for explaining
how did Three end up with the count of 55 if it was close to 150
(it's easier to use existing examples, like Slowpoke tails. Slowpoke is describing which tails. This works, but in a Dex entry it's tricky because you want the entry to be about the Pokémon, not just a single part of it. It can work, but the rest of the entry needs to expound on the Pokémon itself. It's subtle but important for the type of entries you'd expect in a Pokédex)
55 is over 50, they were right. Only the A-tier were competing for the winner's spot. We had almost 150 total, but only those 55 were "in the running" haha
I'm surprised at how many did not use one of the required mons
that also surprised us as well, we ended up being more forgiving to all of the entries that were disqualified this event, but next event we will have to be more strict
LC when? 
Very thankful to have been given 3 A-tiers. Drafting Pokedex entries was more fun than I thought it would be. I greatly appreciate all of the work done by the judges in going through all of the entries and providing feedback! I will have to find a time to incorporate the responses I received and submit the entries to the general dex form.
Definitely, I recognize your Discord name as one of the last entries we had remaining when determining the winner. Yours was top five!
I find it weirdly funny that all of the entries I submitted all ended up in each tier
I'm DEFINTELY going to be taking notes on what I could improve
This was honestly really fun!
Even IF I could've done better
Like I said above, feel free to ask for feedback on one or all of them, from me (I'm always happy to help!) or any Unown
And all my entries lose by errors
Well, I defintely want to ask for feedback on all of my entries, see what I could improve, and maayybbeee make some more dex entries to, y'know, train for the next dex entry contest
ayyy got 2 A-Tiers (with issues in both), swag!
Capital P and é
So... it means that probably my elusive entries are wrong too
Oh well
Next year
high five
So, I'd like to ask for feedback on all of my entries
Well, maybe
🖐️
sure, should I send it in the #1201260356182483134 or did you want the feedback here?
this one was actually the second, the last one was just over a month ago
so yes, absolutely
I need to learn more about custom entries
So I can get tier C at least
Well, If there is another pokedex entry event
did you have questions? I'm happy to help if you do 
Capital P and é 
Ah, I was a bit confused because, well
I was looking at #announcements 
#1201260356182483134 i guess
if you can't use the keyboard shortcut mentioned here (#1201260356182483134 message), you can also just copy the E from that post, or copy the whole word from somewhere like Serebii or Bulbapedia. (That's what I do: Pokémon)
Ok I need to see a doctor

Problems probably
the winner has not yet pledged a vocal ally ship towards any mons, wonder who they'll choose
an A, A, and B isnt bad for my entries
elemental monkeys i bet
jk
Reading everyone's dex comments from this chat got me stressed out about my elusive dex entry
Though uhh, I think I didn't make the singular/plural mistake at least... but I'm still free game for other grammatical errors...
It made me go from "I think I did really good!" to "I think I did"


i read all the other A tiers and went "damn im the A- tier" fr
we had some amazing ones for sure, there were also good ones in all the other tiers too, but sometimes one specific thing would knock it down a tier or 3 
well one of mine got c teir for bad grammar... but it was correct lol afaik
"POKENAME has been collecting heavy stones to grow the pile on its back since it was a baby Geosaur. It uses sunlight to nourish the strong vines it produces, which allow POKENAME to carry such an immense weight. "
"The comma should not be there. It should be [allows], not [allow]."
the vines allow, not the vines allows
confused how not putting an accented e in pokemon justifies c tier when theres a tiers that have long feedback about the grammar being weird, both my other entries didnt have any other feedback besides the e being wrong
u got a role 
C tier is for incorrect grammar, spelling, and/or required punctuation. A comma that isn't necessarily required (Oxford commas, as an example) wouldn't get a C. However, misspelling Pokémon is so common and significant that we have an entire higlight on the submission spreadsheet that specifically checks for exactly that, no capital P and/or no accent on the E in Pokémon. Had Pokémon been correct, it likely would've been an A-tier, as the comma wasn't an actual punctuation mistake, simply something that might be a recommendation depending on the person
had it for a while now, maybe a month or so? 
u got the D
I believe the feedback on the verb agreement (my guess) is due to the comma and transition, since it is separating it into another clause. Without the comma, with correct grammar, it would be: [This Pokémon uses sunlight to nourish strong vines which allow it to carry such an immense weight.]
This one is much less obvious, but by making the second clause entirely separated, [which] is referring to the act of taking sunlight to nourish vines. The act itself is a singular event, so it would be [allows] in order to agree.
There were only comments left on entries where there was commentary needed (in nearly every case), if the only issue in your other entries was the word Pokémon then there would be no other comments made.
:v feedback concept?
your Blastoise entry was actually quite good, it was simply the word Pokémon that got you on that one.
For the Charizard entry, the comma separating the sequence of adjectives is a non-optional punctuation mistake, which again means C-tier immediately. Without that missing comma and and again the word Pokémon, that was also a really good entry.
you should, those are very easy things to correct and incorporate in future writings. Baseline competence in composition and English are both much more challenging, so you clearly have talent.
Don't hesitate to post any entries that you're making in the #dex-entries-submissions for feedback, from other participants as well as Unowns (myself included). Punctuation and incorrect formatting of the word Pokémon would both be caught quickly and early on, and I'm sure you'd get complements on your prose.
like what u will change for those dex entries
quite a lot (but not all) of the comments on the tiering were me, but any changes I'd make would need discussing with the original author, as I want to ensure they maintain their meanings and voice. I can always make recommendations, but with over 150, that's a lot of potential changes 
but there weren't any entries that I thought were simply bad, every entry had good concepts and effort put into them
I can barely even see the cells it's so zoomed out
good lord
Two A tier entries makes me happy. Sad one of them got dinged for using a word someone didn't like, but c'est la vie. Now crossing my fingers for the concept art contest.
what word
"congeal," the sprite referenced is Reuniclus/Venusaur
Some words "ick" people, I know. But Reuniclus family sprites ought to be a little icky 😛
whoa whats this :0
me hating myself 
Babies × legends
its supposed to be little cup mons
...
i should just remove the ones that are 100% completed
It's just diglett and ho oh
True ,I forgot about them
gimp hates you now, too
your entry was actually the top 10-15, I think? It made it to the antepenultimate round of voting
ok yeah theres no autogen fusions so its complete
the word [congealing] is actually excellent, the issue was that only liquids can congeal (usually blood but other things can also, like pudding. Blood pudding, anyone?), so it didn't make sense in the context of the entry. Chlorophyll is a solid. If it had been chlorophyll in other liquids that would've been a stretch but acceptable.
The entry was still A-tier, so it was still a great entry.
: (
so wait, the LC that we run is ONLY for any Mons that don't have sprites? I think I'm lost haha 
yes
usually ur only allowed to submit sprites for fusions that havent been done yet for lc
at least that was one of the rules when i entered a lc
ah, interesting. I guess with how massive it would be now, that actually makes sense
otherwise the potential roster would rival (possibly even exceed) Team Encounter
👀
I appreciate the feedback. I believe chlorophyll can be both liquid and solid (a la plasma), but it might've been better to simply say that the toxins seeped out and congealed into a protective membrane...or something like that. My main aim was to explain away the absence of the grass typing from the fusion. I'll keep this in mind for future contests.
is LC only the first in the evolution line? So only Pichu and not Pikachu, then?
yes
naturally occurring chlorophyll is a solid that exists only in photosynthetic chloroplasts, usually found in plants but also in algae, phytoplankton, and other organisms that photosynthesize. I believe humans were able to create a synthetic version that is akin to plasma, but the compound from plants would purely be a solid.
Since the Dex entries are (typically) written by scientists, there are specific formats and details that are weighted more heavily. (There was another entry that incorrectly classified Arbok not as a true cobra and thus used the incorrect reference to its hood, and that was also a ding on an otherwise good entry.)
I do think that change would make it excellent, the point was made in the original, it was just technical details. You did quite well!

baby
Over 1.5 MB?! What the hell
Discord should easily show images of over 8mbs
if you don't have nitro that's the upload limit
I think they increased it recently. But I haven't tested it
wow bulbasaur is only 5 fusions from being out of lc
bulbasaur/elekid
bulbasaur/carvanha
bulbasaur/klink
pawniard/bulbasaur
noibat/bulbasaur
are the last ones
lc?
little cup
ah
Are fusions not allowed in Little Cup?
wut
did you forget to type a word?
Well, little cup is about making fusions, so it feels weird that you say that
Oh, I didn't get what being out of LC meant.
meaning it already has customs with all other LC pokémon.
or maybe just all fusions in general.
typically little cup doesnt allow entries of already existing fusions
I thought it had something to do with completion.
so those are the only ones that would be eligible for lc
And just so I have it clear
LC only allows unevolved pokémon fused with unevolved pokémon?
ye
kk
is little cup back?
no im just being a weirdo and calculating which fusions would be available for lc 
Is it an event for battling or for spriting or both?
spriting
Oh, I see! Sounds like fun~
here are the rules from lc3
hows ur concept :3
I submitted the first one and have an idea for the second one.
Are you going to submit any concepts?
LC3 results when?

Infinity oh dear lord
submit a full sprite? 
Sprites count as concept art?
i can scale it to 288 ( clueless)
but seriously My concept look like barf puddle :v
I'd say it counts, as long as it's not one made in the 96x96 size canvas. so even smth like 288x288 works as long as you use a 1x1 pixel on it, but this is just my opinions
It's because I didn't realize I had a filter applied still 
I'm glad no one is asking for Elusive Results
🖌️➕✍️🏆 ❔
how many days are left for the concept art contest?
i mean i am 1 year doing this job
literally me
something like 2~3 ig
ok
I still havent colored my drawing so I wanted to know if I had to work on it now
ok thanks
~~I just read that as paint-hand trophy
~~
skill issue 😛
What is speed sprite anyway
Sprite with extra caffeine
Well as long as its just caffeine
So, quick question about the second vote stuff. Is it about submitting a pokemon for a second chance at getting into the game, even if they were on the first ballot?
I think the almighty Frog should (or should have) reach out to you about it?
You can only name mons from the original ballot, as far as I'm aware (I could be wrong, but definitely no legendaries/mythicals/starters)
Also congrats!!
Gotcha. It was resolved late last night so i havent heard anything yet, but if it's between mons from the initial ballot, i know what im voting for.
👀
and consider hallowen is coming👻
No propagandaing at the winner 
dont threathen the dude
Im just saying
i didnt think it'd be my choice, i just like writing silly little things
lmaooo
Oh well
Also what would you pick if it wasn't limited to the ballot and why is it Rowlet
Oh man I should really do some concept art for a chance to get Minior in there
Id pick Sandaconda for more reptilian rep, though he's banned for being born in the wrong generation.
Im guessing it'll be Seviper then?
As much as it pains me, no. Mainly because theres a mon that i think would make for better fusion potential.
there really is a lot of good picks, yeah
gogoat
clearly

also congrats 
reptiles you say? Archeops is a bird lizard 
salazle is a popular reptil
Aww I wish there was a more numbered ranking system than just tiers I wanna know how close I was
Great winning one though Snonk
i would personally pick gourgeist ,but im trying to help you here
hmm seviper salazle
what more we do have
Wow, there's some real good ones here
oh i’m so cooked
THE MAWILE 
@loud plume here all the reptile mons avaliable hope it helps
fun fact: I almost put the emotes in by hand for all of it to be community voted, so I had them in a different server 
Okay but LC when? 
I forgot to upload mines 
that bewear is so peak i have to vote for it 
I have to pick clueless :clueless:
dang my emotes not in the thing. ggs

i wanna vote for mysts one but i reallly like the mawile
Ah, thanks.
Not to be 👆 🤓 but Salazzle is arguably a salamander, which is amphibian. But given their noted opposition to water, im not so sure.
rip lalalala mewoth
my sticker lost
actually so joever for me 
it's both a salamander (the amphibian) and a salamander (the mythical fire creature)

very true
Anyways
ok yeah i voted mawile
I voted clueless cause we need a clueless emoji 
we need clueless
Another [
]?
I still say archeops counts as a reptile
all of them looks great its really hard to vote
CHAT IT'S NOT OVER (mine prolly won't get added though
)
Oh wait no
i want to use these stickers
clueless is more ignorant, ,rather than questioning
clueless is this one
it's just so silly
nice, holding out for :straypixel: then hehe
real
That why I said Oh wait no
i thought that was smug
i dont like the original clueless but i like this one a lot
we need a gif of clueless to despair

i already have it
KEKruff still has a chance chat 
And why we need it?
if you're excited about something fr 
(also I just want a rockruff emoji) 
I think in general you can put up emotes/stickers in #discord-suggestions but the voting is pretty brutal there
i know which one im rooting for
I mean, we have too much positive emotes
it's more of a happy-ish excited if you get me-
idk I have another server with it and it's used a lot

the Lets Go! Voltorb is my favorite emote here
Oh hey my emote is a finalist 
i just want maractus in the game man 
Same, unfortunately it’s not beating any of the competition since it’s a vote
Not to be
you mean
rip neither of my emotes got finalist
not surprised tho cuz i didnt really try lol
I feel like I am the only person who isn't a clueless fan...the rest are a hard choice though
Its wild that we have two Thumbs Up and two D: finalists 
Also hey Clefable Body gang
a 👍 would be handy for sure, I keep using that but lack of IF version is kind of sad
There is
but its. eh
since when was that an emote wtf
...I never realised that was a thumbs up, I just thought it was a spoon 
Anyway since I am already being robbed (/j), I demand my Nerd Bifable gets added
I don’t think we’re judging based on what server needs right? We’re judging based on what looks better since some non-finalists might still be added as emotes here?
Also rip this guy, the Thumbs Up competition was too high o7
aw damn I like that one, that's a shame
I figured it'd still work as a small reaction for example
It took me this long to realize those markings on golurk are just a giant “G” and I’ve been obsessed with unova for 13 years
This one was one of mine ☺️
It's a little big
I thought it had the right dimensions lol
Actually for the vote it might be helpful to know what was submitted as a Sticker or Emote
Don't worry about it 
Everything is a similar size so that you vote on the design only
yeah this one's great
Because youre gonna rig the vote and let me win by surprise, gotcha gotcha
Mine were stickers 😁
See but isnt the size relevant for the design 
It's already rigged, you just don't know it yet
I wonder whos gonna win. I'm totally,,, clueless
:v so who made that bewear machamp?
yea that’s my favorite from the list aside from my own entry
do yall think theres gonna be a rush event for october
i want another rush event
I want a Mew heads rush event
Whatever new mon gets in could get a Rush Event
pumpkin
Better be skitty
SLURPUFF RUSH LETS GOO 🙏🙏
but who was the author?
thatd be chaotic lol
i want a mon thats a lil closer to being finished
ho-oh was kind of a nightmare
Maybe its secret so we dont vote for someone who will put in out pick 
we kinda debated it in the event chat, we're doing a contest for that
we rushed Cress and that was interesting, to say the least
I remember the Trev rush
That was like just when I started and I immediately burnt myself out lol
o7
tbf Slugma/Trevenant is still one of my favorite sprites I made
Buneary rush was around when I started out being a spriter
it was around when I started and someone liked one of my sprites enough to edit it for the prevo with no permission 
i think cofagrigus/duskull/darkrai would be good
theyre more than half finished
these were the 2 sprites I made
show plz
Slugma Ba-
they were both VERY silly 
in a situation like this, I would love my kekruff emoji :clueless:
Omg put my emotes pls I wanna see them 
dont really wanna do another trevenant rush for the second year in a row
guys guess what pokemon I had in my spriter app 
Darkrai Rush would be hype
(impossible)
isnt trevenant r finished
wait this is perfect
omg
ye darkrai would be cool for an october rush

trevenant is close but not yet finished i think
That's what I've been saying 
add free him

only the body
it was a head rush

ye
I need to be able to be a smartass nerd, this is important
Just vote gourgeist we need him for halloween
what's in it for me 
My 10 Trev Body Sprites disagree [nerd emote]
i think rushes work best with mons like buneary who already have one half finished and just need a little boost from a rush to fully complete it
Reshiram Rush. Rushiram.
Rockrush
I think thres should be a Rush for a non legendary mon that Will apear a lot in a game and dont have many sprites
lopunny rush 👀
IF anyone here is Interested in a FTL event I maybe have something for you!
https://discordapp.com/channels/302153478556352513/1213539303876206643/1276972358799724645
trapinch will be 100% done with next sprite pack
reshirush
lopunny rush would be great for next easter
bodies are almost done for it
need to update this with staryublop since thats done but ye
im not fixing that typo that ones funny
I hope we get a cool pokemon rush next, since it's been p much cuties all year
last cool mon was Trevenant 
Hear me out: Decidueye Rush because we add Rowlet
Little poor things 
gengar rush 
Sounds like a Halloween event
Mimikyu rush actually 
there's a person I know we should ping for it 
should I chat


puppy 
mimikyu moment ? 
aw man, sad my lil guy didnt make it, though im not too surprised considering there's emotes with similar vibes
I wrote a silly lil rant in the "why is this a good fit" section too 
with how many people don't understand AA I feel like that could end badly

Ditto was my AA teacher
theres teachers in alcoholics anonymous?
What is Big boss?
I wanna see what the winning team of that would look like
any ideas for what would the magnets be in Tyrantrum/magnezone 
whai so is it on showdown?
I want to at least try to get past the first round. If I fail, then I quit showdown for eternity. (Or whenever I feel like trying it out again.)
I quit.
RNG hates me.
The crits, the Omni boost, and my poor knowledge of competitive play. Pokeshowdown clearly hates me.
Not even going to try the monotype run because I know the game will just give me horrible RNG. Gonna just stick with spriting for now on (unless I change my mind but it’s unlikely for right now)
I had serene grace
Probably explains why. My lack of competitive knowledge twas the downfall.
