[valid fractal]

pory look

[woven kettle]

I mean to be honest, that can go for any Pokemon, you can shove a stone in its throat

[eager raven]

A part of me is desperately hoping for the gen 6 legends
But that probably isnt what this is

[gritty cargo]

if it doesnt get revealled by tomorow im gonna sprite a toxicroak

[harsh obsidian]

No way Thanos is getting added

[molten crater]

bunch of birds eat rocks to help digestion

[tranquil fable]

Stone

Minior

[bold barn]

Diancie sitting in a tree eating her rock breakfast is an oddly cute visual

[unreal wadi]

Yup

[woven kettle]

Stonjourner

It has to be

[bold barn]

It's not Archenover!!

[woven kettle]

See look Proy reacter

It has to be reaal

It has to bie reals

[eager raven]

Although I will say
Last time they did a crazy riddle it lead to a legendary reveal (looking at you regis)
Perhaps thats a theme? The big mons get big puzzles?

[dusky swallow]

A bird with a stone in its throat? sounds pretty far fetched.

[woven kettle]

Yes

[woven kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/byson-yes-gif-21730475

[unreal wadi]

Yveltal?

[woven kettle]

Looks awesome

[bold barn]

aura trio

[gritty cargo]

do toxicroak pleeeeeeeeeeease

[eager raven]

Xerneas was the main star of the new pokemon snap game

But idk

[bold barn]

https://tenor.com/view/zygarde-pokemon-roar-power-up-attack-gif-17351590

[unreal wadi]

Yes

[swift token]

um, Tapu Koko kinda looks like a bird, idk

[gritty cargo]

it does turn into a tree

[eager raven]

Indeed

[icy jasper]

what if the reveal happens in the next hour

[eager raven]

The riddle could be referring to multiple mons

[unreal wadi]

Do we know if its one or two pokemon?

Ok

[formal river]

is very likely toxicroak

[unreal wadi]

Xerneas an yveltal

[slender thunder]

i like red swoobat

[gritty cargo]

i think its most likely toxicroak and my favourite possibility is cherrim

[unreal wadi]

A read bird

[gritty cargo]

yeah he p drippy

[unreal wadi]

With a tree that is the main pokemon in pokemon snap

[formal river]

is likely an evoline

[molten crater]

the riddler likes squids, therefore it's malamar

[gritty cargo]

ok i should go to bed now

[eager raven]

My copium wants gen 6 legends
But its probably Toxicroak if we're being realistic

[cyan gull]

1 servidor mútuo

[oblique sentinel]

but 100% it got a vote

[unreal wadi]

So it can't be 2 differents legendaries?

[formal river]

unlikely but yeah

[swift token]

Y'know, Tapu Bulu swings trees around like clubs... big stick

[unreal wadi]

Mmmh

[gritty cargo]

pory lurking to see us make fools of ourselves

[unreal wadi]

[livid cloak]

pory have u started on hydreigon greninja

[molten crater]

ok, now hear me out, what if... dwebble?

[unreal wadi]

My brain-

[cyan gull]

I'll spoil something, ||it's not Zubat (sorry Zuchat)||

[cyan gull]

I'm not taking that

[eager raven]

We here at event general are very good at solving riddles

[cyan gull]

I DMed and explained it to you

[livid cloak]

[molten crater]

gn chat

[harsh obsidian]

So will the reveal be tomorrow?

[oblique sentinel]

dont waste energy it will be revealed anyways

[unreal wadi]

When reveal

[icy jasper]

exactly

[molten crater]

it's probably gonna be something troll like that altaria reveal

[unreal wadi]

What happened with the altaria reveal? X))

[slender thunder]

shows beah

beach

altaria comes from water

[molten crater]

everyone was expecting palossand

[slender thunder]

i was very salty for that one

[unreal wadi]

Wot-

[slender thunder]

lol yeah that

[icy jasper]

~~more like uncool ~~

[primal iron]

i thought it was funny 😛

[molten crater]

and they even used that very weird altaria from the anime with the clouds all dried up

[unreal wadi]

Oooh isee-

[primal iron]

wet altaria

[slender thunder]

I am so glad noibat got in tho :00

(and vern)

[valid fractal]

i made a 2 pixel altaria sprite that day

it was fun

[south tusk]

Soon i end my semesiar sprite

[molten crater]

it could even be an announcement for "megas are joining IF" instead of some new pokemon

[woven kettle]

It can even be you, inside of the game

Imagine that, you in IF

[merry mica]

woag
luxio finally going to be in pif? : o

[eager raven]

Squinting at those camera reacts on the post

[molten crater]

I would not really enjoy being beaten by some random 10 year olds

[harsh obsidian]

What is the evidence that this will ever happen?

[woven kettle]

No it's okay

Uhh

We can just uhh

[slender thunder]

i made 1 altaria sprite

[woven kettle]

Wait until they're 13+

Then we can add them in IF

[slender thunder]

this

because i didnt want to use them

so i did both of them in 1 fusion

and its angry because i was angry it got in

[woven kettle]

Showing your emotions through art

[molten crater]

it happens in literally every game of the franchise, all the NPCs get defeated by kids

and we are into the game already, in a sense

at least the spriter username appears below the sprite

[visual ibex]

any other guesses people want me to fuse with solosis?

[slender thunder]

uhh

swoobat

[molten crater]

I saw that

[eager raven]

I flipped to this channel the second it happened

what was that

[slender thunder]

whar?

[eager raven]

Are we going mad

[wicked wolf]

Well how is it going

[molten crater]

someone posted a cherubi with a pink ribbon

[icy jasper]

anyways, since the reveal likely going to be tommorow, have this low quality diance getting camera flashed

[visual ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/cherubi-pokemon-cute-kawaii-gif-17863428

^ this gif was it

[molten crater]

that yeah

[eager raven]

I see I see

[graceful plank]

Goddamn it, it is fucking Cherrim isn't it.

[merry mica]

nah its kricketune

[glass zenith]

Cherrim didn't turn into fairy was a crime

[dusky swallow]

What if it’s a safari zone pokemon? And the stone in the throat is from a trainer who picked “rock”

[mighty stump]

What's funny is that it's in the fairy egg group

But still not fairy type

[harsh obsidian]

I say, we kidnap frog and make him reveal the answer to the riddle

[wicked wolf]

A fraud

[glass zenith]

fairy and dragon egg group is a funny selection of mons

[harsh obsidian]

Trust, we can solve all our problems with crimes

[bold barn]

https://tenor.com/view/archen-pokemon-goofy-goober-silly-just-like-me-fr-gif-2496754116630378463

[livid cloak]

kingambit

[little cypress]

Other fruit Pokémon are Dragon and/or Grass, why Fairy?

[mighty stump]

Cause they a lil guy

[little cypress]

The fairy egg group existed before the type though so that’s not surprising

[oblique sentinel]

😉

[bold barn]

it's pachirisu, my beloved favorite

[mighty stump]

Oh shoot really?

I didn't know that

[glass zenith]

for the same reason they gave it to Cottone and Whimsicott

[molten crater]

it's conkeldurr, the stone is just there on it's hand and casually may touch it's throat

[wintry mauve]

Let’s fucking go guys

[bold barn]

does mineor even have a throat

[glass zenith]

minior eat?

[wintry mauve]

ok it’s not really red but it’s called “red core”

[wintry mauve]

shhh

[wintry mauve]

It actually eats dust

I just rember

[glass zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/kricketune-pokemon-gif-22351674

[azure halo]

I figured it out.

[bold barn]

😮

[wintry mauve]

Holy shit we’re gonna battle red who’s choking on a stone with a stick in his hand on a tree

[compact gulch]

nenenenene bweeeeeOOP???

[white wagon]

wait, what happened to sprite royale

[primal iron]

is ded

[white wagon]

why tho, without the last results?

[unreal wadi]

Red when alola

[ancient palm]

Did we ever figure anything out or are we still on the pory message LOL

[eager raven]

Idt weve gotten past the pory messages

#1279489583393800256 message post has some peculiar reactions though

The ones from pix werent there last time I checked

but thats abt it from my end

[primal iron]

I'm thinking they'll post a follow up at some point, we tried a bunch of things to see if there were clues in that Pory message but couldn't find anything

[eager raven]

two????

Hold on I saw that

Those were two names

[wicked wolf]

Interesting

[eager raven]

Okay so theres two
Could be two seperate mons or a two-stage evo line

[bronze vine]

Hm maybe cherrim

Or vespiquen

That’s all I can think of

[eager raven]

Evidence keeps pointing to cherrim

[wicked wolf]

I still don't understand the cave relation

[eager raven]

even if cherrim has jack shit to do with caves

[unreal wadi]

Nooo

[wicked wolf]

It might be over for toucannon chat

[eager raven]

Its def not toucannon now

[bronze vine]

All I can think of is a reach

[glass zenith]

where is the democracy tho, I want sprite more ice mons

[bronze vine]

Like Cherrim’s other form is like kinda hidden

Like it hides itself

Like a cave

[wicked wolf]

If only vaniluxxe was here

[bronze vine]

I’m not trying to sound stupid but that’s all I can think of

[eager raven]

My main gripes with it being cherrim
Despite overwhelming evidence
Is that it was included in the vote when the riddle specifies "cherished without a vote"
and it has nothing to do with caves

[glass zenith]

cherrim would be so F up, honestly, cuz you prob will have to sprite somethinh separated for the sunshine form?

[wicked wolf]

My main gripe is that the "cherished' thing being a reference to cherry

Is too simple

Too obvious

Lame even

[eager raven]

The riddle lead us to cherry trail mix, which lead to the next hint
It could just be for that or it could be that simple

[wicked wolf]

Perhaps

[primal iron]

I think the initial clue was only to guess "cherry" and find Pory's post with the picture, it has nothign to do with the actual new mon

[glass zenith]

what if

[eager raven]

yea thats kinda what I just said

[primal iron]

ngl i considered that lol

[glass zenith]

bells have a rock in the troat

[bronze vine]

I thought Chimecho too

[primal iron]

Sorry i was scrolled up lol

[harsh obsidian]

But does he have a stick?

[eager raven]

This is either the easiest riddle of all time or I gotta keep on the riddle solving grind

[wintry mauve]

make minior

[wicked wolf]

Maybe now we have to search for "cave" or "rock" or something

Like with cherry

[tulip tusk]

chimecho can still win

[eager raven]

probably
and the hints look to be linked to the event channels

[ancient palm]

I searched for both cave and cavern by pory and realthree

Nothing

[oblique sentinel]

should? i leak

[glass zenith]

[craggy snow]

I read "red for all to see" and immediately thought what has a red butt since it's high in a tree

[glass zenith]

my based guess is Kricketune, I can't think in anything else

[eager raven]

That was a green

There was green

[craggy snow]

I wish you'd do that when I'm wearing my glasses

[eager raven]

hold on

Detective Zinc is on the case

[craggy snow]

Does passimian have a red butt

[eager raven]

Whatever it is is green

[wicked wolf]

I don't like to think about passimian's butt

[icy jasper]

I feel like this clue game is going to lead to us seeing various staff members at various parts of the world doing something which ties into the reveal

[craggy snow]

I was thinking like a baboon

[craggy snow]

Tragic

[wicked wolf]

Various part of the world you say

Like pokemon go

[craggy snow]

Applin?

[wicked wolf]

And what pokemon was introduced in go?

Melmetal

Case closed

[wintry mauve]

No gen 8-9

because code stuff

let someone else explain you idk

[eager raven]

From what I remember seeing in the little "leak" Calvin generously provided

I think I can narrow down the candidates

[craggy snow]

It's Vivillon, and we have to sprite all 14 forms for each mon

[wicked wolf]

Plot twist

It's yveltall and xerneas

[wintry mauve]

it’s spinda with all of its patterns as different dex numbers let’s fucking go

[icy jasper]

then where's zygarde?

[wicked wolf]

Where's pokemon z

[icy jasper]

-# ZYGARDE THE SNAKE?!?

[eager raven]

based on what the leak showed
Its probably in fact cherrim

There was a big flat green shape

[craggy snow]

What's the stick in hand got to do w it

[icy jasper]

wait what leak?

[daring adder]

cherry on da branch

[eager raven]

The one that got posted for .5 seconds and then deleted

[craggy snow]

Das his head tho

[daring adder]

uhhhh

yeah

[glass zenith]

If they learned with Melloetta that didn't made the spriters do two spriters for each form, they will not repeat the same thing for cherrim sunshine form

[daring adder]

Are you saying that the forms will not get equal spritage?

[plucky arch]

a leak?

[daring adder]

Cause you are right, you just phrased that very confusingly

[eager raven]

Indeed...a leak...
Or was it a ruse

[azure halo]

Maybe you’re just… cherry picking?

[wicked wolf]

it was more like a crumb

[plucky arch]

when, where

[unreal wadi]

More like a teaser then a leak

[wicked wolf]

[eager raven]

Calvin deleted it 😔

Im not insane I swear

[oblique sentinel]

bros seeing things

[icy jasper]

we are digging holes and finding nothing by talking about non-existent leaks

[eager raven]

Dear god he is insane 🙏||im joking I swear||

[azure halo]

It’s real. I saw it too. Didn’t see anything though.

[wicked wolf]

do gigalith

[wintry mauve]

let’s goooo

[wicked wolf]

i'm sure it can still be

[oblique sentinel]

yes

[wicked wolf]

[glass zenith]

and why cherubi would have a rock in the throat?

[daring adder]

and well LOVE IT

[craggy snow]

Cherry pit

[wicked wolf]

dude

that's a pit, not a rock

[craggy snow]

[plucky arch]

me when metaphor

[craggy snow]

Pit in the throat would be too obvious

[plucky arch]

me when not literal

[urban siren]

origin dialga

[plucky arch]

me when riddles

[wicked wolf]

if metaphor were so important you wouldn't take cherry from cherished

[eager raven]

No thats quite literally the riddle

[oblique sentinel]

maybe?

[icy jasper]

no gen 8+

[wicked wolf]

woa 🛍️

[unreal wadi]

NOOOOO

[wicked wolf]

rip toucannon

[icy rivet]

So it’s Elgyem?

[plucky arch]

allusion

[unreal wadi]

One beautiful day, maybe

[eager raven]

Yes its gotta be

[craggy snow]

We found the children's book the riddle was taken from

[tulip tusk]

chimecho can still win i gotta stay determined

[unreal wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/haikyuu-tanaka-praying-pray-volleyball-gif-27490673

[wintry mauve]

Wait what the fuck

[icy rivet]

🤦‍♂️the DND trap of “overthinking the DM’s fun tiny puzzle” has struck again

[plucky arch]

stick in hand stone in throat is fairly common as a riddle for "Cherry" tbf

[eager raven]

This was the thing I found in theme blitz earlier also
Was this riddle
And the answer was cherry

[craggy snow]

I dont normally interact with riddles in my day to day life

[eager raven]

But like
Even if thats all correct something feels off

because wtf does the cave thing mean

[daring adder]

Not sure if this is the right chat but this and #pif-hoenn-discussion are basically the same now, frog picking cherrim is a surprising pick to me

[urban siren]

am i the only one hoping the new pokemon is cherrim?

[plucky arch]

cave?

[unreal wadi]

I think it was just a joke

[craggy snow]

Where are you getting cave

[visual ibex]

'cherry' led us to the cave, and I think thats all it was for to lead us to the next puzzle

[eager raven]

You know the image of a cave we've danced around for the past hour form pory
That thing

Yea

[glass zenith]

Frog just want us to make sakura themed fusions, but I dont wanna cherrim. Add Ludicolo!!!

[daring adder]

No, i am too

[wicked wolf]

i think

[glass zenith]

I'll be pissed if it have two forms

[wicked wolf]

it's pointless to talk about the red for all to see rock in throat cherry

as it was supposed to lead us to pory's message

and we have to continue from there

[wintry mauve]

i over heated it

[tulip tusk]

I want cherrim just so I can make a dumbass ref fusion for a game I like

[plucky arch]

i see now

[sly shuttle]

Pac-Man?

[wicked wolf]

like, we mentioned cherries for an hour now

if that was the answer this'd be over already

[tulip tusk]

also there's going to be an annoying orange ref sprite 100%

[craggy snow]

What is the cave message then

[eager raven]

agree w this
Ive been looking for a bit but havent found much from the image on my own

[plucky arch]

itd be a shame if it was a Cave Photo and that was the end

[glass zenith]

also, why another grass pokemon? They hate us?

[eager raven]

That was a LEAF

not a GREEN

[wicked wolf]

clearly it is not

[daring adder]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-pokemon-pokemon-go-ludicolo-cherubi-gif-21340610

[eager raven]

PLEASE tell me im not the only one that saw that

[daring adder]

its cute

[oblique sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

[wicked wolf]

i think that was a location

[plucky arch]

theres also no hint in the cave

[eager raven]

Thats it

It wasnt a sprite

im going off

[icy jasper]

the location of the cave exists irl

[visual ibex]

yeah,... i guess it really is cherubi

[eager raven]

wait that leaf
Wasnt cherubis leaf

or cherrims

[azure halo]

Plot twist

[eager raven]

I think

[daring adder]

I feel like with the similarity of the riddle zinc sent idk what else it could be other than cher

[cedar quest]

byo whaddup gamers

[eager raven]

Im going insane

[cedar quest]

what y'all up to?

[daring adder]

Like "stone in throat" and its a cherry

[plucky arch]

you know what were up to

[oblique sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-寶可夢-神奇寶貝-大舌頭-licktung-gif-9225395385082774646

[cedar quest]

oh shit is that today?

[plucky arch]

what old message did you edit a clue into

[daring adder]

About to go to sleep because its 6pm

[cedar quest]

huh guess so.

[plucky arch]

tell me gamr

[bronze vine]

Stone could be a cherry pit

[wicked wolf]

i really think the cherry part is over, and were meant to find pory's message

[eager raven]

We have been talking about cherries for the past year I wish to be free

[daring adder]

Ah shit

[visual ibex]

thats what it looked like tbh, but idk I got bad short term memory

[wintry mauve]

Lmfao bro forgor

[daring adder]

Alright im lost in this riddle its up to you guys now

[azure halo]

But we need to draw and sprite the Pokémon. Someone sprited cherubi and nothing came of it.

[cedar quest]

hey man I've been busy

[eager raven]

thats not it
The leaf was turned so that you were viewing it from a different angle

[azure halo]

Ergo, it’s not Cherubi.

[wicked wolf]

we've been talking about cheruvi for hours, and the only thing relevant that happened was related to pory's message about a cave

[craggy snow]

Calvin post it again

[cloud pulsar]

no nitro got you horrible

[plucky arch]

there are 3 possibilities

1. Its Cherubi
2. The riddle was just a keyword, for the Cave, in which case its Drilbur
3. The cave picture has a further clue

[wicked wolf]

you noticed

[wintry mauve]

Wait first make a post in #1263858526829416539 first with cherubi and then in #1050404143807873157

[eager raven]

Lemme redraw what I saw

[azure halo]

Keep in mind.

[eager raven]

That indeed!

[plucky arch]

but like this cant be it

why have a riddle lead to 1 message

[icy jasper]

that's all we got atm

[oblique sentinel]

cave messafe uisbt going to change anything a riddle is a riddle

[glass zenith]

the cave one could be a drillbur, I would enjoy this one

[plucky arch]

why not just post the cave

and why have the riddle be so clearly another pokemon

[craggy snow]

Can someone do an image properties check to see if there's a Soundwave hidden in the metadata

[eager raven]

The leaf was turned kinda like this

from my memory

[azure halo]

Seems about right compared to what I also saw Yep.

[wicked wolf]

i don't think it's that deep kek

but try it anyways

[molten crater]

I kinda see an elephant when I squint

[craggy snow]

"The sound of something fleeing"

[wicked wolf]

finally

swinub

[azure halo]

Time to be really really semantic. He said Whipped out his camera.

"Snapped a photo" it's in New Pokémon Snap

[wicked wolf]

[plucky arch]

[wintry mauve]

wait so like the cherry is just a part of the riddle and it might not be cherubi then?

[plucky arch]

regi hunt was so clear

[plucky arch]

maybe

my guess

[visual ibex]

maybe it was shiftry?

[graceful plank]

don't you have a larger image

[plucky arch]

The Riddle is Cherubi

[eager raven]

leaves looked nothing like that + it was two mons

[oblique sentinel]

thats what im thinking

[azure halo]

Could it be a roaming legendary? It fled after all.

[eager raven]

not three

[plucky arch]

the cave is a Bonus hidden hint for Drilbur

[oblique sentinel]

its in pin

[wintry mauve]

[cedar quest]

Man it's fun to watch this, because I'm just as clueless about the riddles as y'all are

[oblique sentinel]

to see it when it was first posted

[untold socket]

probably Cherubi & Cherrim

[graceful plank]

[plucky arch]

[craggy snow]

What's a skiddish cave mon

[plucky arch]

[craggy snow]

Caught in 4k

[plucky arch]

[cedar quest]

lmaoo you can see the water mark on the leaf

[icy jasper]

YEAH!

[oblique sentinel]

xD

[plucky arch]

this fake leak made no sense to begin with

[wicked wolf]

kek

[harsh obsidian]

Any progress with the riddle?

[eager raven]

This world is so cruel to me

[icy jasper]

whatever the cave pokemon is, it can stay there
we got cherries

[wicked wolf]

nah

[eager raven]

I am a fool

[wicked wolf]

happens

[plucky arch]

we found a Pory message

[wicked wolf]

go back to cave

start a minecraft server

[harsh obsidian]

Cool

[craggy snow]

Pumpkaboo

[eager raven]

So anyways theres a cave

[wicked wolf]

maybe you find it

[azure halo]

Okay. Let’s go back to caving.

[wicked wolf]

ooohh

make a minecraft server with cobblemon

[harsh obsidian]

What happens if we find a creeper?

[wicked wolf]

and go to a cave

[craggy snow]

Pumpkaboo is in the caves in snap

[wicked wolf]

🧠

[plucky arch]

why doesnt the cave lead anywhere

wheres the bigger path

[wintry mauve]

that’s not rule 2 that’s cherry juice

[wicked wolf]

cave's in australia

so

that's something

[plucky arch]

i think its just a cave stock image

[eager raven]

Im curious abt the emojis the post has to it

[wicked wolf]

yeah maybe

[eager raven]

📷 📸 were the only ones on it earlier

idk if that means anything

[craggy snow]

I'm telling you we can find a sound bite or decodable sound wave in the photo

[plucky arch]

cause of a photo

[visual ibex]

can someone send the cave image again, I dont wanna scroll

[mighty stump]

Awwwww

[plucky arch]

its usually the other way around

[wicked wolf]

i'm eating all of them

[wintry mauve]

Oh i love that so much i want nanab cherubi pls

[plucky arch]

you can get photos from soundwaves but sound from a photo is a lot weirder and harder and less convenient

[mighty stump]

NOOOOOOO

[eager raven]

I feel like we may be jumping to wild conclusions

Its probably simpler than that

[raw horizon]

checking in, what are the running theories?

[untold socket]

https://tenor.com/view/cherry-bomb-powie-pvz-plants-vs-zombies-boom-gif-23984603

[craggy snow]

Something cave related

[mighty stump]

Cherubi that chose voilence and got a basebal bat

[craggy snow]

Cherubi

[eager raven]

I got baited for an hour or so also theres a cave

[azure halo]

Has someone tried searching every word in the message?

[icy jasper]

it's cherry bomb

[azure halo]

[raw horizon]

i knew abt the cave

[glass zenith]

I dont wanna do a oucast form and a sunshine form I'm a cherry hater

[bronze vine]

I’d be very happy with sunshine forms

[icy jasper]

we can use cherry bomb with his 175 sun cost to open up the cave even more

[plucky arch]

i just wish we were told whether or not there was anything further

like a "you found everything" or "theres another lead in the cave" or smth

[eager raven]

I think when we get to the end we'll know
Or at least have a better idea of what the mon is

[untold socket]

cherubi + weezing =

[wicked wolf]

what are the chances the cave is a reference to one of the songs from famous band gorillaz?

[craggy snow]

Why don't I just go ask Pory directly

[bronze vine]

I just wonder if more people will sprite something and the answer will be found

[plucky arch]

cause he wont give an answer

[quick wharf]

Wait why are we talking about caves😭

[eager raven]

Linking this again directly for people #1279489583393800256 message

its also pinned tho

[visual ibex]

now hear me out.... that cave picture is in new south wales..... ITS CHERUBI/WAILORD fusion

[craggy snow]

Ok I asked Pory will wait for response

I almost video called them

[graceful plank]

thanks, we need the bigger picture

[craggy snow]

Doesn't the symbol in the middle mean its a panoramic photo?

[eager raven]

I got a png for it too I converted

[quick wharf]

Cherry trail mix

[icy jasper]

there's water in that pic

[plucky arch]

anyway while everyone's here, go participate in Spriter Relay

[glass zenith]

why that calls me so much attention?

[icy jasper]

-# no

[eager raven]

This is the original image from wikipedia

[plucky arch]

[eager raven]

as you can see

It has 0 differences at all

[craggy snow]

Anyone boosted the brightness to see if somethings different between the 2

Like if somethings super dark in the shadows

[ancient palm]

already done that

[wicked wolf]

@slender thunder

[graceful plank]

I have to get ready for work but I'm trying to compare it now. I suspect there are no changes

[plucky arch]

for my own sanity, im going to assume the hunt is over

[eager raven]

also this

[plucky arch]

the riddle was for Cherubi, the cave is a secondary, hidden hint for Drilbur

[eager raven]

I dont think
The image has any tricks

[plucky arch]

were gettin Cherubi and Drilbur which i s dope

[glass zenith]

Pory must be laughing so loud reading the conspiracies here

[craggy snow]

Well good work everyone

Yall solved it an hour and a half ago then convinced yourselves you didn't

[icy jasper]

~~that's because we've hit a roadblock ~~

[eager raven]

I was literally trying

This entire time
To look for a lead based on the cave thing

[graceful plank]

yeah there are no changes from the original image except for the frame

[glass zenith]

I'm still mad, why add the pokemon everyone forgot have existed

[craggy snow]

We will have all the answers we need when Pory answers my dm

[eager raven]

I was lead astray for a good bit but I am still trying to crack this

[plucky arch]

tbf last time we had one of these the end was "THIS IS THE END THE REGIS ARE IN"

[graceful plank]

What about Komala?

[plucky arch]

shes running for president

[wicked wolf]

Komala for the win

real

[supple epoch]

Would the Cherubi line be 2 slots or 3 slots?

[quick wharf]

3 probably

[sly shuttle]

Komala for president of Alola 2024!!

[supple epoch]

That’s my guess too

[icy jasper]

wahoo 3 slots

[plucky arch]

vs gumshoos

[quick wharf]

Both from alola

[glass zenith]

watch the outcast form be worst than that

[quick wharf]

Conspiracy theory just dropped

[plucky arch]

drampa biden

[molten crater]

@cyan gull are you even australian?

[south tusk]

so is not simisage, i was wrong 😦

[quick wharf]

What would Vance or Walz be

[sly shuttle]

Is it too political to discuss pokesonas of politicians?

[craggy snow]

Mentioning their existence is probably fine

[quick wharf]

Probably not?

[wicked wolf]

nah

as long as no one pings any mod

[wicked wolf]

wildin

[eager raven]

Ok I think I have a theory

with no evidence other than:
"The Imperial contains some of the best fossil deposits and several Tasmanian devil bones. Note that while fossils may not be clearly evident to the casual visitor, in fact, the bedrock in which the caves are formed is richly endowed with marine fossils."

[icy jasper]

relicanth

[sly shuttle]

Carracosta

[dense jackal]

I just saw the announcement, so where did all this cave stuff come from. Why didn't everyone say "that's obviously cherrim" and call it a day? 😛

[oblique sentinel]

might aswell post it on here for fun

[icy jasper]

you are joining IF

[quick wharf]

The unovan turtle that I forget the name of?!?!?!

[oblique sentinel]

its fake

[mighty stump]

Please let this riddle and wild goose chase all just actually be cherubi, it would be so funny

[molten crater]

iron bundle confirmed

[molten crater]

see pinned message

[dense jackal]

that message makes it sound like everyone missed the hint and someone had to intervene 😆

[wintry mauve]

chat r we still at the pory image or did we progress

[eager raven]

Still at the pory image

[ancient palm]

it might be joever for us

[graceful plank]

just now while I was getting ready for work and didn't see this, I thought that would be a great answer for one of those youtube unhinged pokemon quizzes with the celebrity answers. I thought a good prompt for Komala Harris would be 'new presidential hopeful; just as sleepy'

[eager raven]

Though now im dissecting the message
"someone pinged me" is an odd way to put it

or at least feels odd in there

ive also tried searching a bunch of words from the message to no result

[wintry mauve]

ok guys it seems that this ploy is very elaborate which means

https://tenor.com/view/charjabug-pokemon-gif-2444291893174958031

[glass zenith]

plot twist, is Bounsweet

[icy jasper]

great option, but maybe controversial? idk

[bold barn]

Delphox 2

[glass zenith]

people hate or love tsareena

[graceful plank]

it's drampa, drampa can't see because it's red/green colourblind therefore it sees itself as red

[south tusk]

you know what is funny, solrock is classifie as a red pokemon

is not relate, but i think is kina funny

[graceful plank]

what was that site that quizzes you on the pokedex colours

[sly shuttle]

https://uquiz.com/Quiz/Question/mRw2lk/1

[graceful plank]

man this is some bullshit

[glass zenith]

why Mareep is white?

lmao, the roaring moon

my gosh, when I guess blue is purple, when I guess purple is blue

[spare breach]

huh

[molten crater]

I have tried to place the original image on top of the given image and it seems distorted

[glass zenith]

Bruh

That quiz made me so angry

[mighty stump]

Why is qwilfish gray

Why gamefreak why

MEGA SALAMANCE IS GREEN

Oh my bad roaring moon BUT STILL

I did it guys

[icy jasper]

great results

[rigid abyss]

I did that quiz. Was so mad didn't even finish it

[molten crater]

the more I search, the more I discover that there are actually A LOT of pictures like this, taken in the exact same place, but they are all at slightly different angles. Like they must have a sign that says "do not trespass, dangerous area, just take a photo here"

[little cypress]

They’re fluffy though?

[molten crater]

but hey, maybe it is cherrim, we just gotta wait for the sun to rise so that the sunny form shows up

[worthy turtle]

why dont we think it's cherrim?

red

in tree'

cherished

stick

[regal palm]

Stick?

Wheres the stick on a Cherrim

[worthy turtle]

grass type

[mighty stump]

I think for cherubi the stem would be the stick

[worthy turtle]

exactly

[little cypress]

One of the original 15 introduced in Gen 2, yep:
https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Egg_Group

[regal palm]

Is a tree, stone (fruit) on its throat, cherish (ball)

Me @ feebas:

[worthy turtle]

wait, how many mods we got here?

or people in charge

gimme a list

let's divide and conquer

let's all taake one mod each and search cave words

starting with cave, stalactite, stalagmite, and dripstone

[signal nexus]

is that sans

[signal nexus]

okay, i've gotten the first five? six? incorrect so far, so this bodes well

[worthy turtle]

could this have something to do with the all that glitters contest?

[signal nexus]

with the missing carbink?

[worthy turtle]

maybe

he mentioned rock in my throat, sableye eats rocks. now we're in a cave

[signal nexus]

the secret reveal from the deactivated user will be that the new pokemon will be carbink
there was something of a delay. y'know. lag

[worthy turtle]

the caves contain silurian fossils

marine fossils

is it carracosta?

[quick wharf]

Diancie?

[worthy turtle]

no...

maybe?

it does show what relicanth is based on on the page for the silurian period

[wicked wolf]

so

how is it going

[signal nexus]

dunno. i spent the whole day at work so all i know is that the riddle is pretty much confirmed to be pointing to a cherry (cherrim), but now we have a cave and i don't know how these are connected

[worthy turtle]

pory sent this message

https://discordapp.com/channels/302153478556352513/1279489583393800256/1279490248820392078

[wicked wolf]

yeah i saw that

so we are still at that

damn

[worthy turtle]

yeah

i just saw this

i didnt get notified for some reason

[swift token]

Hear me out

[wicked wolf]

no, that riddle is for cherry

but like actual cherry

that's what took us to pory's message

[signal nexus]

i mean, just guessing at a distance, that looks like spoink

[wicked wolf]

but form there there hasn't been anything

[worthy turtle]

it's specifically the imperial caves

[swift token]

Slurpuff has a cherry on its head...

maybe

[worthy turtle]

which, according to wikipedia, have tasmanian devil bones in them

[wicked wolf]

no but like, it was meant to make us search "cherry" on the search bar to find the cave message

[worthy turtle]

but the bedrock is "richly endowed with marine fossils"

[worthy turtle]

it's relicanth, im sure

[wicked wolf]

kek

[worthy turtle]

coelocanth diverged during silurian period

[signal nexus]

huh. the spoink-like blur is in the original photo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_caves_in_Australia#/media/File:Jenolan_Caves_Imperial_Cave_3.jpg

[wicked wolf]

i still think it might be cherubi tho so who knows

[worthy turtle]

it's either that or carracosta

[swift token]

komala is Australian

[rigid abyss]

Is it me or does it look like a trainer? Maybe the first trainer of the pokemon? Idk might be delulu

[signal nexus]

wonder what Toby Hudson feels to have his work called mediocre

okay, that's cool
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:99of9#/media/File:User_99of9_reflected_in_Australian_Magpie_eye.jpg

don't think it's related to the arg, though

wonder how many people have died in that cave

[heady panther]

if its tropius im going to be so happy

[crystal folio]

and thus, I have used all 5 entries for the Bug Catching contest

[naive summit]

Watching the chaos is fun

[crystal folio]

.>" also I misnumbered the Greninja, put 447 instead of 477

got it fixed in the drive at least but uhhhh

oops

[icy rivet]

Why Lanturn have the Cthulhu mouth tentacles?

[naive summit]

That's a Golisopod thing

[icy rivet]

Yellow coloring makes them stand out more

[crystal folio]

looks neat

[icy rivet]

Yeah idk why that fusion screams Cuttlefish mouth more than anything

[crystal folio]

kinda ended up seeing it a goofy mustache myself

[glass zenith]

hmmm, Octi/Goli cthulhu

tentacruel actually

[signal nexus]

cthuwu

[glass zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/cthulhu-cthulhuwink-wink-gif-14961117

[broken robin]

wait cave arg It isnt cherrim? wow

I feel foolish now

[glass zenith]

I think are two lines

[signal nexus]

or we're going hippity-hoppity through keywords until we figure out what it is
currently we're stuck on cave, though

[naive summit]

[molten crater]

it's probably just a light that someone put in there before people actually took the photo

[signal nexus]

yeah, that blur's in the original photo, i later found out

[harsh obsidian]

What if we just give up and stop trying?

[signal nexus]

see, we could. but people die in caves

[harsh obsidian]

Eh, that’s a skill issue on the people who die

[signal nexus]

"If I were trapped in a cave, I would simply not die"

[harsh obsidian]

But seriously, how are we gonna do this? Are we just gonna say a bunch of words until the mods label it as spam or we get results?

[signal nexus]

i am no good at args

[harsh obsidian]

Man, we need to get the gravity falls fandom in here

I heard they were good at that sort of thing

[signal nexus]

i was thinking of trying to find the "deactivated user" who pinged pory, but uh. didn't really get that far

[signal nexus]

?tag spreferences

[urban knot]

Are you looking for sprite references? Use the Dropbox to find what you are looking for: Dropbox Link

[harsh obsidian]

Wha?

[signal nexus]

lessee

[harsh obsidian]

???

[signal nexus]

digging up the spriters who've done Gravity Falls reference sprites

[harsh obsidian]

Ah

Could’ve sworn there was someone that did a Sprite of the Dorito man a while back

[signal nexus]

oh, quite a few

[harsh obsidian]

Maybe we should examine that cave image and like check for any links or something

I heard that’s what people do in ARGs

[signal nexus]

should i tag 'em all?

[signal nexus]

like, in the metadata?

[harsh obsidian]

Idk.

[harsh obsidian]

Why not?

[signal nexus]

@stark pier @elfin gale @loud pike @terse finch @languid tartan @harsh prawn calling the Gravity Falls fandom - any help on figuring out our next step?

[tranquil fable]

Hello fellow Infinite Fusers, how are the theories going?

[harsh obsidian]

We are trying to summon gravity falls fandom because they are allegedly good at solving ARGs

[terse finch]

Eh, what?

Hi

[tranquil fable]

Also what's with this?

[harsh obsidian]

Hello, we have kidnapped you. Now solve the ARG

[signal nexus]

ask Toby Hudson

[harsh obsidian]

We must solve this

[terse finch]

Sorry I can't help you there

[signal nexus]

here's the direct link, too: #1279489583393800256 message

[tranquil fable]

W h a t

[signal nexus]

the photographer

of the original image

[harsh obsidian]

Apologies for kidnapping you then, you may go free

[tranquil fable]

Ok

It appears to have no differences from the original photo other than the camera effect and the PIF watermark

[signal nexus]

yeah
from what i've seen, some people are looking at Pokemon Snap for clues, some are looking at the description of the irl cave on wikipedia and making conjectures
i'm not sure what avenue to pursue

[harsh obsidian]

Multitask!

[visual ibex]

I looked at the data of the image and it was last edited <t:1727229120:F>
idk how this'd help but-

[tranquil fable]

Guys

I may have found something

Something STUPID

But something

I searched "Australia Caves Cherry" and clicked on the first link, and look what is in it
Wombat... Woobat... WOOBAT

Yes, I'm going insane

[glass zenith]

[tranquil fable]

Wait a second

That cave

That cave is here

And here is the town of Young, also known as... The CHERRY capital of Australia

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-incredibles-meme-gif-16420601608203719621

[cedar quest]

.......................................

[plucky arch]

BOYS

whats up

anything new?

[signal nexus]

we tried summoning the Gravity Falls fandom to help

[plucky arch]

anyway i also realized "draw me, sprite me" was the hint to look in Concept Craze

cause im not smart

[tranquil fable]

And Australia has a Cherry capital (that cave is from Australia, and from the same state as the cherry capital so yeah)

[plucky arch]

which honestly, makes me think Cherubi isnt getting added, and the riddle was just to get to the cave part

[tranquil fable]

Though I wonder what does the first part of the riddle mean...

[plucky arch]

in which case having a Cherry riddle with "Cherished" in it is a really unfortunate Cherrim Red Herring

[plucky arch]

Stick is the Stem, Stone is the Pit

[tranquil fable]

"High in a tree, Red for all to see" means cherry
"Draw me Then sprite me," is from the concept craze
"Cherished without a vote" means it didn't get a vote (sad) and CHERRYsed

[tranquil fable]

Hmm...

[plucky arch]

basically

"in Concept Craze, contains the word Cherry"

[tranquil fable]

Wich took us to the cave picture

[naive summit]

[plucky arch]

yea

[woven kettle]

Hmmm

[plucky arch]

i think its all just for a Drilbur reveal

[woven kettle]

I think

Itl's uhh

Itkslsk

Come on

I thunj it

[tranquil fable]

Wouldn't it be funny if it was like Surskit for no apparent reason

[plucky arch]

and its an unfortunate coincidence that it lines up with Cherubi

[woven kettle]

:desspa

I think it is Cherubi

Because uhh

[plucky arch]

in which case, riots will sue and were owned Cherubi

[tranquil fable]

Why Drilbur out of all mons?

[woven kettle]

I think they live in caves

[naive summit]

its actually luvdisc sorry yall

pack it up cherry squad

[woven kettle]

[plucky arch]

in caves, top 5 in the main vote

[woven kettle]

Pokebio was right

[plucky arch]

but no votes in the winner vote

[tranquil fable]

Hmm...

Wait a second

[signal nexus]

so where do we go from the cave photo though

[tranquil fable]

Cherised

[naive summit]

I'd argue "cherished without a vote" would imply it wasn't highly ranked on the votes but maybe im wrong

[woven kettle]

Now me and the other like, 3 Cherubi fans have to leave sadly 😔

[tranquil fable]

CHERISED

[naive summit]

I haven't followed this a whole lot tbh

[tranquil fable]

IT MEANS PEOPLE LIKE THE MON

[plucky arch]

i genuinely think Cherubi would be dope

[signal nexus]

or that it wasn't on the ballot to begin with

[naive summit]

good point

[tranquil fable]

There are only 2 mons that I think would fir the "cherised" description that haven't gotten in

[woven kettle]

Of course

Xerneas

[tranquil fable]

Skidoo/Gogoat and Minior

[woven kettle]

I love Xerneas

Oh

[plucky arch]

MINIOR

WOOO

[tranquil fable]

These are the mons with the highest "fanbases" in the server

[woven kettle]

I like Minior too that's okay

[weary flare]

Honestly it could be relicanth

[woven kettle]

True

I'd be happy with that

[naive summit]

its melmetal, Gamr W

[tranquil fable]

Though I wonder...

[plucky arch]

i was praying Reli was with Goliso

[tranquil fable]

Wtf do any of them have to do with cherries or australian caves ;-;

[woven kettle]

Uhh

See

[tranquil fable]

Like Minior is a rock and that's it

[woven kettle]

Cherries

And caves

[tranquil fable]

And red sometimes

[plucky arch]

pory looked up "cave"

[woven kettle]

Both start with a c

[naive summit]

I was praying that there'd be a funny bit at the end after Goliso revealed where the sub goes to the surface and are like "wait wtf is that floating down" and its just torkoal LAMO

[woven kettle]

And see

[naive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-torkoal-ok-bye-ok-bye-gif-10952927295946666301
