um you did? it's on the site
[Shakespeare folds up his most recent play and dejectedly plods home]
Then it got harvested
A lot of my sprites get harvested, I wonder why

That Eevee/Dragonite sucks
Don't look at it

also, speaking of the joke sprites, I'm proud of this guy
Why depressed?
Trying to decide between these two for the contest
Right is better imo, the eye is attracted everywhere instead of only the chest gem
i think ur just seeing some sort of gen 5 error cuz the gen 3 sprite uses emerald and thats the canon game for sableye
bruh im still waiting to know if my carbink/trevenant fusion is ready 
JUST PUT IT IN THE CONTEST DRIVE
BETTER NOW THAN NEVER!!
if you haven't had any feedback for a while and you think its ready
then it is ready
ok
emerald butt
I love uploading at 5:59 
i couldn't find mine in my files got it in when it was 23:00 exactly 😐
i assume the Kalos event only works with sprites made after the announcement? (just double checking)
okay so i did see that right
i couldnt find it again and i wanted to make sure i actually read it and not dreamed it lol
lol
Bruh I had to go somewhere and I couldn't get my trevenant fusion in 
Welp there's always the prism texture awards although it won't be anywhere near winning 
can't wait to come dead last in the all that glitters contest :3
Last, but not disqualified 
exactly 
getting last without ignoring the spriting rules is probably a lot harder than getting first
i tried it for all that glittes >:)
competing for the last place lets go
new meta
all the judges befuddled looking and seeing every sprite just so purposely dogwater
Fine, then my mimikyu will be last as well XP
I can put it in for ya
DM me the sprite and I'll add it manually 
Also I need to stop looking at the contests because I have too many ideas already
Chespin/venonat that’s even more of a chestnut
Chespin/budew that’s just a chestnut flower
All that glitters is NOT gold 
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost
And funnily enough, Tolkien’s version actually means something different
“All that is gold does not glitter” means to not overlook something because its value isn’t immediately apparent
All that glitters is not gold and all that is gold does not glitter
As opposed to “all that glitters is not gold” which means to not be taken in by appearances
Gold and glittering: correlation, but not causation
Indeed. Similar sentiments, but with different emphasis
Both true
Mhm 😌
/jk
When I say, "You know what they say about gold and glittering," you can stare at me blankly now 
💎 💎 🏆 ❓
You don’t know how many times I’ve been called a nerd
Just for pronouncing unfamiliar words according to the most common five linguistic vowels and for making Shakespeare jokes 
Someone post Smash Mouth
But mispronouncing words intentionally is so fun! 
I like mispronouncing english words according to quenya pronunciation rules
But that is, admittedly, extremely nerdy
Anyway clearly my mimikyu will win because the phrase fits it most aptly 😌
All that glitters is gold obviously means that you can sell any shiny pokemon for tons of money
You don’t understand
It was Belos from The Owl House
Y’know, the tv show where the characters names are spoken aloud?
Yeah?
I've watched The Owl House
Fun show
Has anything changed since your most recent version in #1050404143807873157?
@heady panther
And I still got it lodged in my head
as “Bay-los”
If I saw it in writing, I'd think it was that too
No, I was working on additional stuff but haven't actually exported them yet
Still have the file that I was going to add
I can tell you that I was going to add black outlines and some highlighting but didn't actually do it yet
But it’s not in writing! It’s in a tv show where they say the characters’ names aloud 
Yeah, that's why I specified the conditions of seeing it 
I'm not sure that's nerdy, I think that's just being forgetful
Well, not like you can do it now. It's past the deadline, so what you got in #1050404143807873157 is your final for the contest 
((Dw it won't be on the fake transparent bg, and the Carbink n' lines won't be there))
Yeah, but I got called a nerd when I explained the linguistics behind it 
Yes, well, that part is nerdy
so naturally I replied with the gif of Hunter going “why does everyone always say that?”
this is the file now that im home 
wait.
Beɪlōs
The same friend who called me a nerd had a
reaction when they were trying to do an IPA joke about pronouncing “arceus” and I told them that the IPA for the sounds k and s are just ‘k’ and ‘s’ 
They only call you a nerd because they want to be a nerd too 
Let's all be nerds together 
When I get home I’ll dig up the posts where I ramble about the etymology of the word “wiener”
We should probably stop now; we're getting off topic
So, uh
Events, huh? And, uh, generally
events
yeah
so confused but ok 
I still have 15 more minutes of work before I can actually sprite on topic 😔
🤔 how long does it usually last between when an event closes and the winners are announced?
It depends on the size of the event
If it's a recurring event, about three days or so
If it's a big contest, might be about a week
I know that the last elusive dex contest that let the winner vote on a new pokemon had about 200 entries, so it was a week for voting
Extrapolating from that
About one day per 30 entries?
Heh. Do they give a full ranked order or are the folks joking about coming in last just joking?
There is a ranked order by number of points in the score you get
Ties are very common
Very, very common
you could do the counting of scores yourself for some contests to rank yourself
Oh man when did you think it was?
Also: 🐳
The further down the ranks you go, the more people are in the same rank
couple hours basically
Ah, a pyramid scheme 😌
Yes 
The more people you get to enter the contest, the more points you can suck from them as an entry fee
Tiebreakers are reserved only for the 1st place tie
And the method is a Pokémon battle 
Oh please, everyone knows that events general is just the new lounge 
fr
How will we know which Gabrom was better? 
We put you into the game and make you use your fusions to fight 
Put ‘em in a ring and make ‘em fight
The better Gabrom is the one that remembers to call his mother
That actually might be a fun
bit of DLC? Put spriters in the battle tower with a team of what they’ve sprited
And you have to fight EVERY pokemon, pokerogue-style 
New spriters just die then
the bottom one has a better face but the other one is more interesting
Well, you can already battle the spriters in Goldenrod city
Would be funny to end up fighting yourself
I've done that 
Established spriter who only sprites feebas vs newbie spriter with a giratina/arceus
Carny.le.loup with 49 Groudons 
I got 1 groudon fusion im working on and its not even in pif 
I think it would be cool, though it would probably be too much effort to incorporate 
Tbf, if you can sprite a good giratina/arceus as a newbie, you probably deserve that
now that All That Glitters is over, me and Ribbon are gonna make this groudon
fear my 1 unfinished legendary
Can YOU defeat all 1700+ Toad900 fusions?

It looks like dragonite
Tail needs to be wider
Because of the long, thin tail
oh its not thin but thanks for that note ill make it appear thicker
Groudon has like a spiky beaver tail 
The end of the tail is as thick as the start of the tail
ye thanks!
not for my fusion 
was also working on this lil baby 
the other one
Terrible contest idea: spriting event, but the winners are chosen via showdown competition
General discussion infects channels like a virulent disease
So it’s a collab 
~~
s myself for reading that as “venereal” ~~
the competitors can only use fusions they themselves sprited
soon every channel shall be general 
id be screwed
so far I have a trevenant/carbink
I already have a team of my silly little guys
contest idea, every entry starts with 100 points and every technical guideline break is -3 points, then separate into tiers, and do tiebreakers if necessary 
to strengthen actual spriting ability
Just spriter version of showdown
Nah, it’s showdown competitors pairing up with spriters
Gotta give each a semblance of a chance at winning 😌
googlism
so assuming i counted right, there are 196 glitter contest entries
💀
which, assuming 1 day per each 30 entries, that's roughly 6 days to get the result
bruh im spriting fluff 
6.5, actually, so it's more like a full week
wait, there are people who don't use firefox?
I use Safari cos my Chrome broke
...
someone's gonna do a firefox for the Kalos Kontest, aren't they
ill make safari after im done firefox once I have time to finish because of contests
I cant finish my other sprites 
and im spriting fluff which I suck at 
why do I keep doing this to myself
actually, since we were on the topic of pronunciation earlier
is it kay-los or caw-los?
kaylos
i'm gonna say the bot won't let me say this
I do caw-los
gdi bot
English dub says caw-los iirc
what does it mean?
seeking pain for some sort of self-satisfaction, usually finding pleasure in pain
I suck at fluff though why
i'd prefer a more memetic version of this quote, but this'll do ig
like plastered over a picture of a 3D skeleton or smth
🤔 "why do i keep spriting fluff if i suck at it" or "why do i suck at fluff so much if i keep spriting it"?
Firefox was laggy the times I used it. Chrome still my baby
~~Wagner or Verdi?
~~
flip a coin
@shrewd dirge Heads or Tails?
famous opera composers 
Wagner did the Ring Cycle, from which "Ride of the Valkyries" comes from (which you have definitely heard) and Verdi did Il Travatore, La Traviata, Aida, etc.
mass o kism UwU
if you haven't heard the first few bars of "Ride of the Valkyries" I will be very surprised 👍
mass o' chasm
my thought when I hear it 
yep
this is the version i saw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSuRJueqsQg
The Valkyries are arriving at Bethanie Theatre on 9 November, 5:00pm. Their war cries are booming in the distance already! Have a look at "Ride of the Valkyries", one of the most famous scenes from Wagner's Die Walkure.
In what is expected to be a Wagnerian event for the ages, soprano Christine Goerke plays Brünnhilde, Wotan’s willful warrior ...
though i don't think it was this specific performance, just this production, i think
wait shoot we gotta get this back on topic. quick! someone make an opera event!
.
charlie dont surf
shouldn't you ask "head or body"? 
I read the caption but didnt look at the actual gif 
what do I do with the brown @signal nexus
or if you're more of a Looney Tunes buff, there's "Kill da wab-bit! Kill da wab-bit!"
(alas, i don't think the full version of the short "What's Opera, Doc?" exists on youtube)

in what way?
well, what's the fusion? flygon head/quilladin body?
ye\

melon insides
pain is oof ouch bones hurt
pain is a xylophone falling down the stairs 😌
pain is pain
the pain in Spain falls gently on the pain
here's the start of my wiener rant btw: #off-topic message
but you're gonna have to scroll through a lot to get the full thing.
once you get to the part about broadcasting or human computers or electrocuting an elephant you're done
just double checking but are we allowed to submit fusions for kalos conflict that we made before it was announced or no?
i think someone confirmed so if you scroll up a bit 🤔
does it matter what order (head/body, body/head) I do the fusions in for spritedoku
i dont believe so
yippe that saves me so much work
by that I mean spriting fluff 
I wanna do this but I cant sprite carbink fluff
might switch to sableye tbh
fluff is so hard ngl
until it just happens
youll struggle, then place a pixel and it suddenly clicks
especially if it's a stupid pixel that doesn't even seem like it's the right color at all
i JUST had this with my #1283621006552072263 and its stupid brows
they looked so bad and then i placed one thing and suddenly they looked alright and i just went "screw it lets keep it"
i havent done a lot of fluff, but Mareep/Onix is one time i did and im immensely proud of that one
Honestly check out the froakie and frogadier sprites for their bubbles for inspiration. Very fluff adjacent!
I can do cloud fluff but not carbink's fluff
this thing was Hell
doing that would kill me
I would literally quit so fast
i did each clump section by section
each rock was replaced by a wool thing on a different layer, and then afterwards i replaced some edges with lighter pixels to blend it
ig i did some on Frogadier/Voltorb recently too
you can kinda see the transition of where i made em and where hey were from the frogadier sprite
me when my style ive developed from only ever doing fusion sprites is somehow different from the art style of the base sprites 
bruh I need mega sableye gem 
ah, but which sprites would you consider overdesigned?
now i'm curious
do more say thing
procrastinate so hard on procrastination you accidentally end up doing stuff
is the buneary France
unimunimunimpossible
this
heh
that's quite a detailed baba!
thats true

what about your options thou
better?

i made another one already though
I kinda wanna see it
big muscled baba
"Although it is small, this Pokémon is very powerful because its body is a bundle of muscles."
big muscled baba canon
it can push rocks
pillar even
BABA is YOU
ROCK is PUSH 😌
BABA is YOU
LAVA is PUSH
walk is water
spit it out
LAVA is HOT
BABA is NOT MELT
BABA is YOU
SKILL is ISSUE
Pory is Glory
i'm not sure, actually 🤔
i don't think 'overdesign' is generally one of my criticisms of fusion sprites
i'd have to encounter one that draws my attention
🤔 EVENT is FEEDBACK
SPRITE is NOT READY?
EVENT is DONE
RESULT is WHEN?
why ur profile is an autogen of snunbull ? 
event results is now
a now-banned user tried to insult me with it
as though i could be insulted with a picture of my daughter 😌
what a random insult
plus it's a reminder to actually do the sprite, heh
did u make it?

da pink geem
do I make it all pink gems on the back or do other colors like blue and green
tmwr I add teeth
but now its sleepy time 
As a certified Bagon enjoyer i gotta say it's the best Bagon joke sprite
I see this regularly 😄
Heads
How?
Time to sprite uhh
Strong Pokémon 
Safari is nosepass/unown?
just make shedinja
||google intentionally makes their sites run slower on firefox||
I'm expecting others to expect that so they'll bring a counter 
Chansey/Ditto: become your opponent but stronger 
back then i used to use Tumblr all the time and i just wasnt getting the loading times that i wanted
You mean vulpix
nah they mean fennekin :)
Flareon actually 
If you go to the gallery, a different spriter will be featured each in-game day, and sometimes you can battle that spriter. If you go multiple times, one of the npcs will notice your interest and let you pick the featured spriter for the next in-game day
The gallery in goldenrod city?
yeah! i know i battled a spriter once
don't battle me if you want to live 
oooo since when has that been added? :0
just over a year, wow 👀
How does it pick the fusions for the spriter? 
probably randomized

I wanna fight myself 
well it's in-game day, so i think it's based on your own game, not universal
Where's the art gallery in real life so I can fight some of y'all
"oh yeah thought I wouldn't find you? This is for making the eyes look to the right!"
"and THIS is for not shading the face"
"THIS is for not adding legs or hands to a fusion when the body Mon got legs"

fighting?
The in game art gallery posts a new spriter every so often in itself randomly and shows off a collection of their Sprites. And you can challenge that in-game representation of the spriter to a battle I guess
Yeah I'm pretty sure it changes every ingame day
People aren't exaggerating when they say this is definitely the best game for pokémon ever made. It's really jam packed with love.
moreso than Gamefreak 
i can have a team of possessed tree that are the evolution of lost child soul (trevenant is the evo of phantump which is a lost child soul possessing a tree stump) !
Hey Gang!
Did you submit a fusion between 2 unevolved mons for the Kalos Konflict? 
Well also considering submitting them to Spriter Relay!
You can read more about the event here:
#1222376526805209201 message
Oh man you could fight me and it either be a full Feebas team or some legendaries
behold! my team:
five feebases and then the most powerful legendary fusion you have
Sorry but i dont really like the kalos starters so i wont participate this week but it sounds fun so i may participate another time
it can be any starters 
i was just trying to grab the folks with the kalos hype
as long as its a base form
Ab okay i'll try making one tomorrow
as long as its a base fusion that hasnt evolved but Can evolve, and has a starter in it, it counts
The week prompt doesn’t specify that both components be unevolved
the event prompt does 😔
that second part means Legendaries or single stage mons, it might be confusing 😔
Some people are too lazy to read the event prompt
At least for the first week
ah, so my chespin/venonat and chespin/budew ideas are game
if i can even get around to spriting them
yep 
maybe if enough people participate i can convince the staff to let it be an "official" event and stop clogging up the mini event chat
why that cylarex?
@cedar quest What level of success is usually required for a mini event to gain officialness?
It is in fact my strongest legendary fusion
it's an alt for Celemewchi
ooh right that is another hiccup with this silly idea 🤔
what if the player has already encountered the fusion and chosen a different sprite for it? would these hypothetical spriter battles have an override in them that forces it to show the spriter's version?
the love of hundreds of spriters 
~~and yet it's a game where the Love status effect rarely-if-ever occurs 😌 ~~
thats so cool lol i didnt know that either
Lc when? 

do you crave little cup
? i may have something for you
LC or we riot
middle cup or i riot
What’s LC?
Little cup
Lucrative Cheating 
we need middle cup
Lustrous Carbink
Luchador Candelabra
maybe waffle lookin armor with honey dripping off
to look like honeycomb
Iorek Byrnison? 👀
Lithuanian Chieftain?
I am no closer to understanding LC than I was before 😅
-# ||it's actually little cup fr
||
Ah
As in like a tournament cup or…?
Kaiju meta eliminated 
Only babies with legendaries 😌 everyone wins
i feel old 😔
People called me old for referencing Kelis’ “Milkshake”
La la, la la la
Warm it up
See?
Everyone knows that song!
It is not an outdated reference!
I mean it makes sence that I dont know it 
what do you expect when I just joined the summer 
I called that deep sea area where all the gyaradoses spawn "the milkshake zone"
because my milkshake's bringing all the boys to the yard
and then i shared this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7NnyYKbGx4
it was very recently in the cultural zeitgeist i feel like
like a year or two ago
i know "My milkshake brings 30 to 50 feral hogs to the yard"
and this twitter post
and there've been others
one of my favourite posts is the tumblr one about the "each dot represents a million pigs" or whatever
little sneezing fox 
Hey guys it's me Say, just came to make a PSA
I'm rigging contests right now like the Kalos ones 
but why 
PS-Say
what is that
did i just get cursed im scared what is that
this is some "you will begin to cough in 3 days" type stuff
It's the Sharp Quills sigil from Inscryption
because you fused a pufferfish with a chestnut/hedgehog
very spiky
im doing this one only 
(im letting other people do the other, 2 easier ones, because of event moment)
someone posted this little challenge and thought id throw it here for u all
some examples from xeeble
if anyone wants some pif fusions with those that havent been done yet:
The fact that Absol/Midday Lycanroc hasn't been done yet is a crime....... and another one for my list 
all the cradilys look pretty good
@crude cedar heres where i posted ur challenge (and some autogens for inspiration) 
those not in IF get shamed and ridiculed
theyre not if pif
YET
aromatisse, bronzong, incineroar, and lunatone are possible pif candidates
🫵 cursola
cursola is just fancy corsola 
i left cursola in cause you can just use corsola

makin my way downtown
more autogens
oh!
substitute one of the non-IF ones for cacturne. that's plenty spooky (being a cactus-scarecrow, natch)
and also because of a certain autogen that's haunting me
I want haunter/chandelure but I dont have the skill for it to be good 
do it anyway 
it showed up on my... mono-rock, i believe? could've been mono-dark
and in all that time, i still can't figure out how to sprite it
closest i can think of is one of the guardian lion statues
since those are stone + spiky + vaguely canine (they're referred to as "foo dogs" or "lion dogs" in english)
its giving long haired samurai to me tbh
i checked the midnight version to see if it'd been sprited/was any better
and
i dont think i have the skill to pull that off 
you guys ever choose a specific typing and decide "Ima sprite that
brief sprint on doing fairy/ground types
What did Frog do to the new ‘mons?
nothing 😔 thats the issue 😔
i crave some news, man i cant take the uncertainty
just tell us roughly when theyll be 
Not typings, but I usually pick a body Mon and do 3-5 concepts with it before moving on to something else. I just let myself get inspired by the discord and what they're making, whatever they're making that makes me jealous heheh. What made you want to do that?
yummy
dogs OUT
Lycanroc day autogens: really long and skinny legs
Lycanroc night autogens: big feet
You see, I was like that with Granbull
And then i decided. "Hmm, lets make him the bases of all Fairy/Ground fusions
I had a checklist and everything
I got down to Gliscor before I burnt out
does carbink count as a blue pokemon 
check the lists in the Elusive thread
Gray
top list is blue bottom list is field egg group
it indeed isnt, but a i also checked and i think dialga isnt considered blue by this? like wtf
pokedex says white
wtf i wanted to do a dialga head but bc gamefreack is colorblind i have to do another fusion 
I'll do a non-contest dialga head in your name 🫡
I think it's the one legendary I've been avoiding the most
i think ill also still do the one i had in mind bc it looks so cool in my head
inadvisable event idea: have all spriters write down all 471 (or including the TBAs) pokemon in PIF from memory. The last members on the list, they'll sprite a fusion for.
idk if i would be able to write down all IF mons
hence why the idea is inadvisable 
if it were to be the dex numbers then id be absolutely screwed
an idea i had was a hat sfx awards, bc i like hats 
nah. i'm not a sadist 😌
I put carbink as its actual dex number instead of the PIF dex number 💀
I just realised how many sprites ive been making for contests
every time im waiting for feedback ive been making more sprites for the contests
i tried to recall all 151 from Gen 1 and my last recalled was doduo
if you post more than one submission do they get rated together or seperately?
I’ve never seen a contest that rates all entries of a user together, so it is almost certainly separate
just to make sure one person cant get more than 1 podiom placement either right?
sorry for the dumb questions (i am dumb)
Soreile got 2 podiums during a Contest just recently
#contest-gallery message
Soreile in the 2nd and 3rd place ties
white pokemon incoming you guys 
They can, hell, I know that within the history of IF there was atleast one guy whose main goal was to get all 3 spots on podium in a single contest
Got close multiple times
not me going for the low-hanging fruit for Kalos Konflict
im seeing venonat but not much else yet
could be gren head things i guess 🤔
quilladin/venonat
it'll be the coloring and face of quilladin, natch 😅
at least the venonat is coming across 👍
they're both fluff orbs
hmm what do I make the green into 
You could do the pink of the shiny
or the black of the primal form shiny
it does looks weird but, i kinda like it!
also the neck is missing a little bit of outlines
now for raikou..
whats a route 1 pokemon I should fuse with frogadier?
Hoothoot
💎💎🏆❓
huh i didnt know you could find tangela on route one
i checked to make sure this isn't the Remix Encounters, so i guess you can 
Im already doing hoothoot for a different one
mime jr
Oh ok
oh ok mentioned
nottomention not mentioned 
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1284376306913513504 what about you guys? any final suggestions before I upload it to the gallery?
do we know?
we estimate that the results will be announced a week after the event closed
🤔 says that it closed three days ago, so perhaps four more days?
tbh im surprised that I did it that fast
should I use rayquaza or groudon for sableye
what do I do with the fluff
groudon fusion? or magmar?
👍
perhaps exchange the fluff for groudon's backhoe-looking head/tail bits?
this 2 parts?
ye
why dont u make it like
a mustache
tell @heady panther ! they're the one doing the sprite!
hmmmmm
not the best presentation of it but
noice
and im having trouble finding out what to do with carbink's fluff
this is what I might have
congrats!
:0!what did u won
Say royale 
ayy congrats :D
hows rayquaza/sableye looking?
maybe u could add 1 more “ear” set
He looks like hes just unlocked the secrets of the universe
was trying to figure out what pride flag that looked like
figured it out
whats that
aplatonic flag
for people who do not experience platonic attraction
huh

is alp mean mountain 
ye
need the version with the anvil 
dangert. i've never entered a Say Royale before. I can just edit my gallery post to say Sprite Royale Week 62 entry?
if it was made after the announcement i think you can
well, my #is-my-sprite-ready post went up about an hour after the announcement (i.e., i was working on the sprite before the announcement was made), but i didn't upload the sprite to the gallery until about an hour ago
sometimes there is a grace period were you can use sprites that were made two days before the announcement but idk if this contest has that this time
think this allows it: #1197599880827392070 message
u can edit, but is the sprite new
i have this sprite from a while ago that would have been perfect for this contest
i technically started it back in May, but the "sprite" looked like this before i played around with it last night 
smol whale 
I feel like im speed spriting
spreeting
spreeting
spreeting
sprinting
"spreeting" does sound like the sound this thing would make
theres still 4 days left for spritedoku and im already working on the last one
although im probably not finished all of the sprites
what should I do with the gem
@cedar quest will there be a contest for the new mystery mon ? 
could turn the gem on its chest into a gold chain connecting to the clock it's holding.
fob watch! 
The clock its holding looks a bit confusing. It's shaded like a round object, when I assume it's flat faced, and the hands pointing under the fingers makes it harder to see what they are
might do that as a future reference alt
But of course.
Not immediately, but there will be
I feel like the gem works. Fun fact - hand watches (old timey ones) use rubies in their mechanism.
So even the color matches
smh im too stupid to understand the theme this week for blitz 😔
The strange cousin that you were obligated to invite to dinner because they are in town and you rarely see each other
-# It’s a very old theme
Two reasons:
One, duck meat
Two, the flame on the candle
Or three, flambeed food 
Relicanth is my guess

can we hurry up with the announcement 
i wanna do my swedish lessons & not miss anything
Sweedish feeeesh?
golisopod girlies finally got their W
That's what I'm sayinnnn'
i'm happy by proxy tbh
Like you can hate Goli, but like.....it's been very clear that's it has been wanted for a long time
Just always fell short
'till now 
or during the raffle
when the wheel spin landed on golisopod
only for it to be an elimination wheel
It always Wimped Out
During the reveal, was so tempted to make a pun like that
But would have made it
So obvious
So I went with a First Impression joke instead 
pet peeve: i'm kinda annoyed the ability is called "Emergency Exit" and not "Tactical Retreat"
Which @civic mauve did pick up on 
damn, i missed it.
🥺 link to the exchange?
and what a very sharped 'mon it is 😌
how long before a golisopod event, d'you think? 
That's what me and the team are discussing now
What we wanna do
We already have a couple ideas for the mons not used yet
alola event 
And now this is another
get all 3 in there like the dragons
me when gamr makes us wait 3 weeks for the next reveal 
People already are not using it
deserved
I mean....|| I know there's atleast a small gap between today and the next reveal so I can get a bit caught up||
So yeag 
smhsmh if i were still involved in contests everyrhing would be so efficient
id just wait for all the reveals and have a "new pokemon" contest
If we are adding aquatic arothopods I know a certain crab that definitely deserves to get in…….
I have learned absolutely nothing and ive come to complain about the bug 
You are just not a fan of the new mons this time around, huh? 
we should just not do a kommoo contest
it doesnt deserve one
frog shouldve just fudged the votes
gonna let everyone know: if spinda is added in this adding spree, i WILL complete the dex for them
good luck
Ill give you guys points for Kalos!!! ❤️ 
very exciting fusion materials to have
Chesnaught > Golisopod as far as chunky armor bois go 
thats only because wimpod is not exciting at alll but chespin and quilladin are alright!
mustache cockroach *of the sea 
Inversely, completing every Spinda forces Frog to add it
bah.
just buddy it up with Golisopod
armor contest
then a mission i shall start
-# It also gets you spritedex completionist and all of the Pokefan ranks
(it doesnt really)
am i doing it right 
💎💎🏆❓
Probably
Eventually
oh i am working on the reverse lol
i thought so much that the announce would be torkoal i am sad
not golisopod fault but, yea
Imagine Torkoal saving the submarine 
So, I didn't know about the submarine announcement till just now
So I'm not sure who to ask, but for the next ones, could there be a ping sent out?
@tall moss I guess
Maybe a special event ping?
I thought for sure it was going to be wet altaria again 
Isopods are cool
Bug types are cool
For some reason, I just can't get excited about Wimpod and Golisopod
yeah, I think its mainly the complex body and shapes
same
Golisopod is super cool but we have 7/10 to much water
hard mon
tbf thats also a pokemon in general issue
True
Yeah Pokemon has too many water types
Pokémon doesn’t accurately reflect the percentage of aquatic life
Shaking my SMH
But for real what was the need of making goli water type we already got another bug water that gen, nothing in goli design really says water, like yeah most isopods are acuatic but theres thats most not all also we already have marine creatures not being water malamar and dragalge, his used to be signature move is bug type, his ability nothing to do water either he could have been puré bug or if gf wanted a better type steel would fit just fine
bug steel is too good of a defensive type
also then we cant have that meme of it retreat so scissor take that whole fire blast to its face
Wimpod and Golisopod are finally in? Praise be to the Absolute for this miracle.
Same, I had it all the wrong way. I first saw some golisopods in #is-my-sprite-ready , thought nothing of it, until I saw an actual dex number for him, and was like huh
Went to announcement, saw the golisopod announcement and then went up, as the submarine emerged from the deep to the surface 
Should have been terminaly online
funniest shit ever
finally completed the bingo sheet, might still have some edits to do on a few of em but uh... yeah
Love the Bastiodon antivirus lol
still an alt
not that it matters since there is already a main
I was looking for pokemon to fuse with unown and found this
might do regice because its nothing "legendary"
or maybe groudon, kyogre, rayquaza
I just need something 
you can search deana by only autogens
how?
if you just want body, you can search by body then by only autogen
these are the remaining unown body fusions lacking customs
might do palossand but I got no ideas
made of sand
either palossand or tyrantrum
but what exactly?
if I do pallosand I wanna try to maybe include the castle
im boutta make more alts for unown now because I need to make a word in them
p for pallosand with a little sandcastle hat on
and in the empty space of the p you can fit pallosands face
im so bad at making sprites from scratch 
im gonna do the shading both from scratch so that one doesnt look way better than the other 
nvm because it will make me very mad at myself
bruh Im making this in pixels 
peace
couldnt think of anything else 
the "3rd eye" works so well for this
pea
eap
||it's a backward question mark||
oh no
I dont have enough room for the last letter 
I have to make even more room than I already have
fuse the unowns together 
just realized the CHAD anorith has never changed sprites
aw man
that's a drawback of having only one unown, alas
no æ
perfect from day 1
u could overlap the letter
they has red outline so they wont mixed up
ill make them sort of touch
great. now i'm gonna have to do unown^2 fusions that's just the most known ligatures 
i still can barely read this
HIGH QUALITY SPRITE PLZ VOTE FOR ME
since we're on the topic
anyway, i don't see any æ on daena for unown^2, so
Your A looks way thicker then the other letters
and i think the C is missing a black circle around the eye?
Unowns are weird
Or one of þ
I don't recall seeing one at least
Been a minute since I checked
i was gonna say "at least the thorn is one letter" but then i realized
(and new mons of course)
Unown with Froakie and Carbink have one for both halves already. Braixen, Fomantis, and Chespin bodies exist too. And Kommo-o has a head. Those are all the ones I can find in the gallery
You’re looking for an æshe? There isn’t an Unown of it but you could potentially make one, however it would be hard since pixels don’t do vivid details too well
🤔 never heard of the ae ligature being called aeshe before
You can also write it ashe but using the symbol itself can benefit people unfamiliar with it (as that is also technically correct).
Just like œthel can also be written oethel
is 💎💎🏆 announced the same time kalos conflict submissions are in?
so how do they update the fusion bot so quickly?
when they add a new pokemon, do they announce it then update the bot?
my theory is that all the new mons are programmed in already
so there aren't any bugs
so if i'm right, we could post pokemon that arent in the game yet, and if they are going to be added, the fusion bot will let them through
im too scared to test it though
the only problem with this is things like eð.
"oh ed?" no. eth. quit that. its not pronounced oDin either aaaaaaaaaa
You know
A fat unown would just look like bubble letters
What do unown eat?
the souls of the innocent
noodles of alph......
So true!!
Fun thing to blow the minds of folks who haven’t studied the history of English 
English has two different ‘th’ sounds
The ‘th’ in the word “the” and the ‘th’ in the word “thin”
hell yeah ð (eth) and þ (thorn)
actually upon trying to write these out im remembering why no one does that bc thorn looks like... omg. thornography.
New event: ð and θ
How does that apply to spriters? 
How do I subtly get the frogman to tell me if a certain Mon is getting in?
That way I can start making as many sprites for it as possible
I have one specific one in mine
Mind*
But if it isn't getting in, I'd rather not bother

Make it and save it for the future
But what if he never gets in
Infinite fusion 2
I believe in my heart one day we will have an all-fusions pokemon game (but not soon)
did you try setting PIF to W for Wumbo
I just wanna be a Buizel pokefan
The way is:
Become staff
You wait for a position to open 
But I'm not that remarkable
They opened applications for like a month last year
Maybe they'll do it again some time
Otherwise
If a position opened, there are like 300 people at least with more skill and experience than i
If you're an event organizer
maybe
maybe
You can be told about new mons if you need to plan your event around it
Hmm
But, like
That involves actually doing staff helper stuff 
That wouldn't help me in the short term though
Just make sprites for every pokemon
Then you can't be wrong 
I could organize the merge madness idea I made a while back
well deserved!
ppl are still spelling zangoose in the reacts 
Did someone get disqualified 
Cant wait to see what I placed, hopefully at least top 130s
i think that gamr just counted wrong
I think gamr might have counted the column name line 


That column name line was my favourite entry
don't be disrespecting that sprite
Us peasants are stuck with our well defined 
No blur for the pupolus
i am so ready to lose newest champion 
no more rotating pfp 
Sableye/Carvanha: "Ooh look a strawberry!"
😭
🤝
Psyched up and ready to fail
And get like seven 2s, three 3s, and a four
Like I do in every other contest
I got into the spotlight oh my god 
I just want to break past the multiple twos threshold 
At least I have my fancy shmancy new role
Do they want the position though?
I'm sure at least five would
But having responsibility
mortifying
Oof
Sorry man
It's all in the name of improvement
Indeed
Ion got the time to run events n shit
I'm gonna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To sprite them is my real test
To draw them is my cause
I will travel across the web
Searching far and wide~
For the best reference, a pose to bring,
out the best design~
@cedar quest who was it that started Staff Spotlights ? i can not remember it for the life of me
i know it was Family Fuse
me trying to remember a word
cause i posted the first one
Mods, we got a spammer
but i dont remember who actually came up with them
PIF! GOTTA SPRITE EM ALL!
staff spotlights on staff voted contests are always so funny to me 
i can do everything
not in a good way
I can sing! And I'm very rusty but I've played some acoustic guitar
but i can do
And maybe a show to go with it
DaTorre can confirm I can sing
Infinite Fusion Anime
yes u can
Where a ten year old Gordo goes on his adventure
I can sign you for 2 10-episode seasons
yeah I think it was u
And on his way to fight hero.drawing, the first gym leader, he meets kiwi, and steals her bike
i wanna know what the top 3 was, am eepy and wanna go eep 
All while Pory, busilisk, and their talking frogman try to steal his sprites
He makes it to the league and gets his ass beat by Anaconja
Are the results coming soon? Sorry to sound impatient im just a little over my bedtime 
And i wasn't even in it 
whoa, that's one monotone podium
