april fools results when 
Never 
I really don't wanna cancel the contest, but I also just don't have the time either
If you need more time, you need more time, it's okay 
The real prank was that the contest would be judged /j
(Take your time fr)
-# <- has no stake in this whatsoever
Yeah, no pressure. Some ppl here just want an update, and if that update is Soon™️, so be it
Anyone wanna make a Golduck or Volbeat for my RPG Support Table?
You'll recieve a free concept art made by me for each sprite you help with
I think there's gonna be an official recurring events announcement for it later
You guys should make ferrothorn or hoppip though fr in exchange you will recieve: the official wwaa gold star sticker [🌟 🪓 ]
i have a volbeat planned do i have to do sth specific
Rock or Ground type
oh is it the same for all of you
sadly i cannot help with that
Ye, unfort
maaybe i can do body but i dont promise
while people are shilling for RPG support teams, if you assist me I will either make you a concept of your choice, or two dex entries of your choice for each sprite contributed 
I also can make concepts and collabs
we’re all desperate for help 
If i spoke english i would also make entries
you just need to make a ground or rock Mime Jr or Amaura sprite 
Gorgeist - seaking in my case
🤔 I do need amaura for spritedex
I knew I could count on your support worm 
i also can make if dex ou/uu/ubers/ag teams
since those are small ill see what i can do
i need amaura head and mimejr body
actually, do i have to post them anywhere special (rog thread?) or how does it "count"
the spritework post needs [RPG Support Team #1] in the title
ask kaede in the thread 
Propaganda
The sprorb is scary (negative rizz)
mine are gougerist and seaking help me , im a miserable third worlder
don’t worry, I’ll personally make all 4 for you 
don’t think about the fact that I can’t as a fellow competitor
The RPG support team propaganda is going crazy lmao
Truly
i enjoy it
i need more silly images like the one from busilisk
i couldn't do one cause i've not been home, but i may actually be able to do some silly propaganda now 
I have an idea for silly propaganda
I might work on it tomorrow
i wonder if one of my fusions is comp viable
what fusion is it
checked here to see if someone was talking about the tournament, but i see other rpg contestants making propaganda smh smh
just make better propaganda 
https://www.fusiondex.org/artists/takopus/ these are the ones ingame so far. but only check if u wanna, its nothing important
poryrem might be good in ubers
metadreigon might be good in uu
reshizing might be good in ubers
there's no way i have useable mons, i have too many weak babies 
thank u o:
GIRL CHILL
celebi blastoise might have a niche in doubles? idk
Whole sprite sheet done in the time it took me to get off work 😭
Pretty sure the only one I have that would be good for anything is Azumarill/Rapidash
i can't make better propaganda if i don't make that at all 

since thick club is banned most of the formats means that a chunk of my guys are not good 

I have been quagless reacted so something tells me even that silly goober is not good 
i have a feeling huge power is banned
so that's why probably lol
Oh no I figured that one
understandable have a great day
I just didn't think Azumarill would be that bad without it
nah azumarill stats are mid as hell
huge power carries it
idk maybe you could do some funny shenaningans with sap sipper but that's not good lol

They only know how to silly
free infinite fusion averagemons
sometimes being silly is better than to throw a punch or smth idfk
We will silly so hard that they forfiet
LETS GO MY SUNKERN GOOMY
all Explosion team
just use prankster memento lol 
damn
you have to use stuff like black sludge and toxic orb
Sunkern goomy should have 4x weakness to ice right?
yes
LETS GO MY FRAIL SEED
GRANTED THE OPPONENT WOULD JUST NOT USE AN ICE MOVE BUT LETS PRETEND THIS STRATEGY IS FLAWLESS
you can uhh
taunt the opponent so they struggle and send the mon in
bc 99% of good moves are status
The 1% being wooper
Wooper so good they became a move
Yeah it 1 shots the entire party of the opponent
Only downside is that your opponent might have a wooper themselves and youd have to kill it
got inspired by the one busilisk made to make my own rpg propaganda image fr fr 
No 
what is this rpg stuff
You sprite a Pokemon on a participants table, and if all 4 get filled they get an item to use in the event
This is my current table (with a red X marked cause its not updated yet)
mhm
For example mine was completed first
-# because im losing
And I was gifted an Air Balloon
Then the table got another row and column added
Idk if the item was random or seeded because balloon was a suspiciously lucky get what with my Steel/Fire type and all
unfortunately, my entry for Draagon_Hunter appears to have been ninja'd by Tak. whoops
what is this event about
the event details are buried under thousands of messages and me no wanna scroll up that far
first time doing this so i apologize, but what do the charts mean? like does the Rock/Golduck square mean it would have to be a fusion containing golduck and have one of the typings be rock?
correct
oh okay awesome
it was over a day on the chart 
https://www.fusiondex.org/492.332/ Someone should do this and just make a Sugar Ray reference
i'm slow
i started earlier
and i didn't realize it was a "one-and-done" thing
Side note, when the time comes, I will have the entire schedule posted ahead of time with all the events
define "shorter" vs "longer"
Speed spriter is short, contest is long
I can run super long format contests too, like Hoenn, but I'd need a pretty cool concept to justify it
so measured in hours vs measured in weeks?
It's more of a feel thing tbh, but that's a start on how to define it
I'd say 3 days is the upper limit for short events
Since they'd be done in a weekend
🤔 So Fusion Day is more of a Fusion [Timespan]
eh, regardless, i'll let others vote
who knows what my TBD list will look like then 😌
Yes, the name is misleading
Since the day itself is August 8th (start date) and ends in roughly 500h from there (August (29th)
fusion month 
Feel free to voice your opinion, I can't gauge options otherwise 
I mean, I could update from 500h to 565h and make it fusion month 
It was originally an event to celebrate 500k members and 500 dex mons
Except you guys didn't know it was for 500 mons at the time
🤔 hrm
i think it depends how many events
longer events mean i have more time to submit
neither did I
It'd be one per day, but they're not all spriter-oriented or submission based, keep that in mind
:nodnod:
Also, any event that requires significant participation I tend to aim to include at least 2 weekends for those who need it
so showdown and dex entries as well
and hey, i might be able to actually make that comfey crown hat
gonna psyche myself up to enter a real contest

🤔 i voted more shorter, as i recall during the Rocket takeover some of the longer events got lost in the shuffle
Yeah, I have an actual calendar this time around, with an event schedule channel in the works
Plus most of the events will be hosted by me, so there'll be less shuffling about for the details
a mix sounds good but I voted neutral cos I wasn't here last time
No need to vote neutral, vote what sounds best to you
speed spriter was really cool for a short event
🤔 i was thinking more about participants losing track of what events were still going on and such
I came up with it last year for Fusion Day 
Yeah, there'll be a Google Calendar with all the events and their timespans
Cuz I'm cool like that
ideally the long events wouldn't overlap but idk if that's feasible
I could share the recurring events one if you want to see
sounds like it's not
Typically, depending on the amount, I'll make it so the overlap is minimal and leads into the next event
poll buried rip
Gives people something to do when they're done early, and the event time is planned with that opening portion as a bit of dead space
It's pinned 
Access Google Calendar with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use).
This is the one for recurring events
And the contest one would look like this, except a bit more sparse for readability
We're not limited to contests, btw
We could do workshops and whatnot
"how to draw an upside-down flailing horse"
or, perhaps less specifically "how to draw wild perspective"
This is quite the lineup for my Support Team
did you guys choose your own pokemon
Its based on your most sprited Pokemon
Glad I'm not there then, I would die if I sprited a Ditto or Shedinja rn 
Damn, one of mine would have been Bruxish 
oh god, i'd need to go for pokefan for something then 
randomly imagining the icon being the hoenn winner wearing the hat winner if hoenn contest and hat contest results come together
Should I make another sprite for you
Mabey later.
But like, im cooler
can i help multiple people
Yes
also, when putting the sprite in the sprite work channel, do i just add the [RPG Support Team #1]
Also yes
awesome sauce
huh
let me drop this again because my competitors are doing it and i'm desperate
new propaganda just dropped 
Here's a glimpse at the totally cool style of concept arts you will get for supporting my side
i'm cooking the ground gourgeist fusion btw
damn 😔
uhhh my credentials are i won a dex comp and people like my entries 
hope that makes people more likely to make me sprites 
I uh
Don't have credientials ._.
i guess i'll show also my concept art that i would make (don't mind the imposter among them
)
and my credientials is that uuuuh yes
yeah, whats that giratina doing there 
idk bro just showed up smh
What type battle of the bands type concept art fight is this 
people are desperate out here
we really are occupying event general with propaganda uh? lol
i'm making dex entries, its totally different 
So much propaganda 
propaganda is fun 
is it really? 
i thought that was medicham for a moment and was very confused

i mean you're also engaging in it person who is definitely not nicoshis
y'know even if i don't get any help i still believe in myself so that's what really matters
propaganda not convincing enough 
i'm mostly doing it because others are doing it 
how about now 
tbh i don't want to spam my propaganda so i think i will not spam that image that often
No

There's no indication what to sprite out
improved 
well it is time to dissapear oh wait what is this thing on the ground? I think i will leave it here just in case
ok i'll stop now lol
Low quality images and lacks any decor 
Nah
Are the green finger nails too off putting?
Maybe 
yes
The orange with hands was already a bit off putting 
(Hand's shading is also inconsistent with the body
)
Shhhhh
Its perfect
I definetly didnt look up a ref for a pointing hand and quickly shade it in a few minutes to make slop
Would you make sprites if he was gaming
I got a lil gaming orange
made it for my one random twitch stream
beautiful
No this is Daisuke's vision
now make it a vtuber so you can just have an orange on stream 
I want to so bad
If Bedman? can have fingernails so can fruit
I dont know how to rig, and I dont have money to buy a rig
nah
also yall need to stop distracting me, Im tryna make a plush version of my DND character
i mean if you need a 3d model rig there should be a ton of blender tuts for it, just look for games art tuts
the rpg battles 
I don't think people wanna see me play Theme Park Tycoon on Roblox for hours straight while I talk abouit random things
you could never know
i would love that extra set info i mean i think it would be fun to watch 
i mean people watch that kinda stuff all the time, hell i would
I was considering it for the bit
I didnt get to make it to tourney anyways :P
I just played bad tbf
But I did pop off extremely hard on the Focus Punch read I got on the first battle
That Perish Song was annoying
i had anchor shot, so i forced it into killing itself round 1 and then it never perishsang again 
Absolutely love a good PNG tuber
Hello Pory 
I tried to send you a DM for ideas but I cannot 
Add me
K
my grid is finished as promissed you guys can ask me for stuff
we need speed spriter but with actual speed runner splits onscreen
streamed speed spliter
"ah GF reshade is under 31 thats PB" "they're on pace with outlining"

Spriter Hunger Games, live at home
full screen streaming
so we can see you watching an LP in the background and judge your music choices
My music is the best 
I don't even know what LP stands for honestly
Let's Play
or Long Play, if you're talking vinyl
or if you're talking math "function spaces defined using a natural generalization of the p-norm for finite-dimensional vector spaces."
-# courtesy of wikipedia
I was talking vinyl
no record emoji? guess you'll have to accept a CD, then
If splicing is allowed I'm on it
lol that could be funny, if you wanted to make it a real competition you'd prob have to make them all do the same fusion tho 
No. One makes machamp/ultra Necrozma and the other does sunkern/Weedle

I mean seems fair to me, they are both equally difficult to make as sprites 😌
correct. i want this to be as stupid and lopsided as possible 😌
that way people can blame an outside factor if they get a low score
The most sensible option is clearly to take a sprite that already exists, and everyone has to recreate it 1:1 the fastest
column by column btw
The speed run has 96 splits: 1 for each column of the sprite
cheating drama by someone using an autofill program
na, worst cheating is an auto clicker that’s pre-programmed to make the sprite perfectly
dont even need an autoclicker, you can just ctrl z the sprite then ctrl y it back
i have recorded "video" of the sprite this way

🙏
it was a pleasure
-# that's what i meant and didn't know how to phrase it right, welp 
set seed vs random seed, eh? 
~~actually, that reminds me of one of the funniest videos about speedrunner cheating drama. i don't even play Minecraft, let alone speedrun it, but the host's absolute exasperation utterly sells it
~~
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AiKhmBgE_0
I didn't even manage to cover all of the evidence in this hour long video!
And no, I won't go in-depth on how I believe Flowbee cheated for so long because I don't want to make it easier for other cheaters to arise.

Can confirm the host is very exasperated lololol
who can post in #1149373303669145751?
Mime Jrs, I think
EDIT: autocorrect pls
It is indeed Mime Jrs
Why do you ask? Are you interested in hosting an event?
Start in #1222376526805209201 !
If I'm not mistaken, the process is to just post in #1222376526805209201 then if it gets popular enough, you get the role?
pretty much
Currently we have Unown Soup and the Citrus Colosseum going on in there, so you can give the thread a skim if you like
See how other folks set up their mini-events
That's what I did when I set up Unown Soup
Happy birthday!
Whose birthday is it?
Mine, eventually
Cool
Happy birthday in advance then 
i have one this year as well
No way ! 
Who else has their birthday this year? 
I actually have 2 
Damn you age twice in a year? 😢
I had a teacher who legally has two birthdays bc she was born on the time change and the doctor and her mom couldn't agree on which day she was born
Doctor: Ah, she was born at 1am on (whatever day it is idk)
Teacher's mom: I have been laboring for 14+ hours, she was born at midnight yesterday
So she has two birthdays and she would have a party on both days
My dad has 2 birthdays, he was born August 5th but was only registered August 6th
technically I have 2 birthdays 
one in the global calander and one in the hebrew one
doesnt everyone have 2 birthdays then
well that's true but like I celebrate both of them 
fair
Jokemon week 2 results
@sly shuttle @wind lynx @potent sorrel @fallen light @minor garnet
Sorry it took a long time. Real life has thoroughly taken PIF away from me as it was. Might be back in a month or 2.
oop typo on Heroicorange 
non-non-IF now
Oh great point that can be submitted to the gal lol
Today I learned I am testrun 
Hi Testrun_! That was a great Grumpig fusion you made 
cool sprites 
hope all going well!
Now I'm SUPER confused 
Congrats!
Apparently I can't read or remember things
I work a million hours a day starting at 430am now sorry
Sorry screee
"Never talk to me or my son ever again"

event general
event-general
my hopes and dreams, dashed

wait just a question I'm guessing the april fools polls aren't out yet?

I'm afraid I might've missed it or something idk it been a while
although it does seem making polls for it would be harder
nah, there'll be an announcement, i figure
yeah, probably.
Mergemeay and the pride rush maybe made having results to contests take longer or something that's also an option probably
what are the actual events ?
they're usually mentioned and linked in one of the announcements channels
here are some recurring ones I like:
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1329228869282304142 | https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1279489583393800256 | https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1355989314290450452 | https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1197396047434088518
Okay I will check this ty
Sure, we can go with that narrative 
so the actual delay revolves around-
life
when will be the new spritedoku out ?
About five and a half hours if Wildheart and Pory are punctual
IDK, maybe you were late last time 
Can I submit an incomplete board, or does it need full completion to be valid?
oh right i need to make sure my board is correctly submitted
especially since i'll be at work during the deadline
You are allowed to submit it incomplete
You can't get the bonus if it requires all the sprites to comply with a theming, since you are missing one
I’m missing 3, actually 
You have DaHappycute to contend with
so I think I will sprite tomorrow 
2 hours and 40 minutes left 
the flyer was drenched (despite the hot temperatures)
That’s called ‘sweat’
That's also how I read it, yep
When you’re looking at the spot lights and know for sure you didn’t place in the contest cus your sprite is nowhere near as good XD
me every contest 
Ok but hat contest results when 
I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never win one of these bigger contests. I’ve won an event but not a contest but eh whatever
I never get the time nor energy nor motivation to sit down and make big impressive sprites lol
i mean that's what i thought, and then i managed to make a good dex entry somehow 
i just need to accidently myself into a good sprite now 
yeah but I just wanna get like an average score tbh
like not be stuck in the bottom of the list
like all other contests
I don’t recall if I even even entered the Hoenn contest 
Ah well. Congrats on the spotlight, Tak
Ye I love that Typhlosion
You and me both, buddy 😔
i do not rate my submissions 
one of them was decent, the others were just hoenn mons i'd happened to sprite 
Mine is just kinda a generic Seviper/Sceptile fusion so I doubt it’ll get very high lol
I think this one could place well
but honestly I hoped it would be in the spotlights since uhh yeah
it isn't that good
It’s cute
Oh wait, that’s the one where you could enter 6, right?
I did enter
Lessee, I know I submitted the plusle/unown for lols… what were the others… the huntail?
these are all my other entries
Pretty sure I did the poochyena as well?
I know I deliberately didn’t submit the delcatty because I didn’t want to face criticism 😌 she’s perfect as-is
GGs all! I'll take 40th and 43rd 😄
Ooh, I did submit the dustox
Lmao, my plus sign didn’t do well. That’s fair
Now to gird my loins for the critique
omfg I DIDN'T PUT THE LYCANROC-MIDNIGHT IN THE DRIVE
chat this is brutal
all my sprotes did badly
man
I don't think I want to participate in this stuff anymore 
Idk why the lowered so much on the rockruff
🫂
🫂
hey @sly shuttle
I just upgraded the role color 
sorry it didn't happen during your month-long reign
Even better 
I am now the final person to hold the cyan role on this server
thank you! 😄
I feel so fabulous 
much shiny name
OH MY GOD IT REALLY DID UPGRADE
whadda hell you can do that :o
PORY KNOWS WITCH CRAFT!!!!!

94th place for one of my sprites… for once I think I’m finally content with a contest placement :)
-# as long as I pretend kyurem/mightyena wasn’t in the contest
i've got cooked this contest, but it's fair enough, didn't really put high effort into the sprites (which tbf don't think it would've changed much there were a lot of fantastic sprites this contest
)
I only submitted one because I was the big silly
Didn't do too hot either but expected it so idk
whoever said my minun/blaziken ears looked bad is right!! i hate those things lol 
still no april fools 
i am happy with my contest placement but sad it was so stacked 
Well done to everyone who entered
don't feel too bad if you placed low
a lot of us didn't even enter
and multiple times I looked at a sprite and went 'this is incredible' and vote avg was 6.1
yeah the stacking Was nuts
i was scrolling like in the top 50 and still saw all bangers
Yeah, a lot of would-be winners if it weren't such a tight competition
idk who made this sprite but a 1 for it is insane what
I'm guessing they just couldn't read the fusion and didn't go further
which isn't, like, entirely unjustified
it's whiscash gengar right
good use of the Holo role
yes
maybe I won't be judging tomorrow after all 

I think it's because it's a ref sprite that has elements not present in either mon
yeah that must be it
unrelated RAAAH 10TH PLACE WOOOO
was a good one fo sho
I put the trop mimikyu in my top 12 picks
my other three entries did worse but I'm not surprised with that
my claydol performed best which i expected
the others i saw did about as expected
my relicanth got oddly far
😌 I ain’t even mad
S/o to the judges for evaluating eleventy-bazillion sprites btw
Oh believe me as one of the (ten?) entrants that contest is very much on my mind
🫂
What I did for this contest (and probably going forward) is treat it like a special critique session. Rather than submit sprites I’m super-proud of, I submitted sprites that I thought could use a smidge more something but I didn’t know what
make mimikyu wear the winning hat 
Where would it wear it 
it should replace the banana peel on the ground 
🤔 when I get on my pc, I’ll have to give that poochyena another looksee and check out what I used for the dark outlines. Thought I had enough black. Will also need to look at that huntail again (which orange sections
)
Oh right.
how is the catfishing sprite rule2? It’s no worse than “hot gardes in your area”
you need to sprite the hot garde instead
~~fine I will ~~
yknow, I think it's kinda iconic my little guy TM sprite did the best of my hoenn submissions 
Typically the sprites I spend less time on do better 
Lesson learned: sprite even faster
Not sprited, but
fittingly i spend all day on mah plane into notyet by whitename :D a classic.
lets see if i find out why
can I aslo draw hot garde
Usually I can kinda tell which of my sprites will do better but smol guy for me was more of a wildcard
That reminds me now that I'm back at my computer, I have my own work in progress hot gardes....
my contribution
Oh right I already have a hot garde too
I don't normally post my wip sprites, but because it happens to be relevant
:
she's absolutely beaming !
oooo this is sick! also means I don't have to make this fusion myself lol /hj
if I was a betting man, castform garde will be #1 most popular hoenn hof mon
people are gonna like keeping castforms on their team and it changing to different forms in the overworld weather
~~pls don't do rain form i have such a cute idea ~~
I need to find someone who's good enough at Gard to help me make Volbeat/Gardevoir
I have terrible news for you....
no...
but also you should post it anyway 
actually
i will draw concept when i'm home it's all in my head rn
how do the battle forms work ingame
does it randomly pick a sprite from e.g. the sunny form sprites
like aegislash but with weather
nah I understand the game mechanics
or minior
I mean specifically for sprite selection
no the sprites too lol
its choice im pr sure
i know ntm's aegi/garde has two forms for sword and shield
I didn't think the game had any way to distinguish sword and shield sprites and assign them to form but I'll just play around and answer my questions
Probably same way you toggle u necro sprites
You aren’t prompted to swap on catch, you have to manually do it in the dex. Probably
username does not check out
🌧️
NO WAY, it's my first time scoring 100 points! Thank you! 🥲
*screaming 
Almost gave the Chimecho/Necrozma my spotlight
that's on the chopping block
has been for a while
I'm getting to it 
Yay, no more Metagross icon lol
And damn... my sprites didn't do well, oof
Hmm, lots of technical issues in my sprites... i should probably update them based on the feedback
Curious about these comments though. What highlight were they refering to, and did they confuse me with nymph since they said i had a "moe" artstyle?
I'm thinking the one on its right leg. The bright part near the top could be moved a little more left. It's hard doing small straight shapes. 
its right... meaning my left?
Hmm, moved to the left to i assume match better with the light source?
Oh no pls, do tell what u have to say about this one 
I don't exactly know how to make a big mon look more dynamic without messing with proportions, risk the square effect, and forcing a perspective..
I was more focused on the design than anything else.
But hey, I beat my highest average score! 
succumbed to the square
hot garde in your area
literally didnt have time to get around to this until just now (4am) but i needed to get my idea out at least 💀 going to bed
\
You should give Hero a bazillion pings for help with that, they're pretty good at it
Seeing into the top of the umbrella changes the perspective on it (unless getting blown inside out also completely broke the alignment on the handle, too)
If the attachment point didn't break/become misaligned, then to see the umbrella at that angle would require the hand to be no further forward than their shoulder. Meaning it would be positioned out to their side instead of in front of them
You shouldn't change anything about the body pose for this - the decision is purely about the umbrella top
Mass pings 
the failed first attempt
whosey whatsey
where's Treasure Trove?
I woke up to 3 pings and now 5 total
ooh, is it the one where you sprite old concept art? nice!
@gritty cargo
Perspective 
I think the most important thing is the silhouette
The arms, legs, wings and all that stuff away from the body
Im planning on doing a tutorial on that ||idea by @cyan gull
||
But basically the silhouette and the line of action are the most important things
For Fusion Day, would you rather have a shorter or longer events? (There will be an accessible schedule)
12
23
2
Short events with 3-6 long format events, surprise me!

true



make a sprite that fits it
actually i have an idea
🔥 is used often
Smeargle/Charsomething?
Or charsomething/smeargle rather
i had unown in mind but smeargle is good too
I submitted two sprites: one which I spent hours of grueling work on, getting every detail right, shifting elements pixel by pixel to avoid squareness and meticulously shading the entire thing… and one which I made as mergemay filler in 30 mins.
And they score two points away from each other. I honestly don’t know whether I should laugh or cry 😭😭😭
||(if any of the judges (or anyone in general) are reading this: can i please get more critique on the shading on solrock/magnezone? all feedback in the doc was referring to the readability. (which makes sense tho my idea was pretty pretentious))||
The Magnezone is awesome, I think the sun's shading didn't quite come across, considering how visually noisy the sprite feels
it's an amazing sprite, just has a lot going on
the little buddy is nice and simple
I wasn't a judge but I can comment more in-depth, if you want, just from seeing them now, are there threads for one/both?
Tutorial Mode
Select a tutorial section from the dropdown below.
I was a judge, honestly I should've rated the Solrock higher, the shading is excellent imo. The solar parts come across nicely and the rocky bits are textured well.

What's this?
fusion bot has a tutorial mode now explaining what it does. not sure why someone invoked it here tho
Yeah sure, only Solrock/Magnezone tho because I posted the other one to the Gallery already

One time I submitted 3 sprites to a contest, one lazy splice, one that is one of my favorite sprites and is my pfp to this day, and one is, ok i guess I didn't really like it
the last one beat the swoobat by quite a few points 
(at least the lazy splice didn't beat them
)
i've come far with splices, if you reshade the entire thing and add a lot of new elements 
I think full heads are the only splice bits where I go "I recognise that and it irks me a bit"
There's other pieces that can't/shouldn't be a drag and drop 
Like when they're not facing the same way as everything else around them
Also that, and head transplants if reshaded can look alright but just a head copypaste with the exact same shading often looks so out of place.
yeah, it rarely fully works
unless you attach it on some silly stalk neck or sth
i generally dont transplant many heads anyway, i prefer to keep body heads and modify them
a good head rework goes a long way
I draw mine(or at least my recent ones) from scratch and it takes an eternity to finish 
It looks nice though
To those doing Support Teams for the RPG event
i have dexed both 
both ways?
🤔 what about typedex?
yeah both ways
else i wouldnt count em as dexed
typedex is secondary to spritedex 

Typings don't match for the bracket, but love the fusions!
At this point I should be called splicemaster, I feel ya

I love how this joke escalated
Just in case anyone is thinking about PotW 
woah chimeras
One day I just wanna go through and find silly words made by the names and make sprites based on the words
do it its fun
someone recently found my minion 
seatle
technically misspelled, but funny anyway
if seatle gets a ref sprite like that, i want paloaldo to get one as well 
yeah
i wanna say one of the swimmers in Remix has one when you're trying to get the Dolly
https://www.fusiondex.org/460.304/
i'm gonna have to figure out how to make a map of California fit the updated spriting requirements, though 🤔
Making it a reference to the city itself and not the state would probably make more sense, and be easier too since the city crest is just a tree
https://www.paloalto.gov/About
yeah, but is anyone gonna get the ref if it's not a map? 
Lmaoooo
I would likely simply because it sounds so close, but I don't think the whole state makes sense for a singular city either, especially for such a massive and populous state. Provincetown, Rhode Island could be the whole state because... it nearly is the whole state 
what fusion makes provincetown, though? 
Provincetoise and Infernotown ofc
I think it's bubbarotweiler's whole schtick, like they seek out such fusions and make goofy ah shit
Neat
yeah it is
yup
Guys where's the event announcement channel
I only have recurring events

Ah wait I think I found it
#event-announcements
up at top

what channel was ice type Magikarp 
i thought it was going to be MergeMay but it's back, so 
ice type magikarps spritework thread i think
fair enough, i just had no idea that was a thing

Continuation of fish tier list discussion
Can't do it by "lives in water" cause of Chi yu
Some fish is probably not able to be fished, so I can't categorize it by them being fished
I could go through every pokemon region list and put the ones that are based on fish
I think I have to keep pokemon like Octillery and Shellos off of it, even though Octillery's pre-evo is a fish lol
Rest assured luvdisc will be on the tier list, I know everyone loves them 
Notably there is a pokemon shape category called "fish shaped" I may look into that but something tells me it will make me upset
I don't even know what to do with galarian stunfisk like I guess it's a fish still???????
from the dex entries its still stunfisk but with steel spikes
so id call it a fish but do as youd like
This is the funniest desire to have and I applaud it
tynamo line?
Hang on what even is tynamo
Tynamo line gets in!
They're electric eels/knife fish
Wikipedia is calling rays fish so they get in and carvanha and sharpedo I know are pirahnas and sharks respectively and thus get in
this makes me happy
<- stunfisk fan
I also like stunfisk, silly guy 
Most likely rip to Kyogre, I'm 90% sure it's an orca or other whale
i liked tynamo a lot more when i realized thats just what baby eels are like
and yeah its [kyogre] probably a mammal
<.<
.>
-# Either whales are fish, or fish don't exist
whales are mammals
All tetrapods are fish
you're a fish
or fish don't real 
there are 3 types of fish: jawless, cartilaginous, and bony. theyre all their own class [agnatha, chondrichthyes, and osteichthyes] under phylum chordata 
we need a lamprey pokemon if it doesnt exist already
eelektross has some traits of a lamprey
anyways i assume chinchou and lanturn count as fish?
This also includes birds are ypu trying to tell me wingull is a fish????? 
eels and lampreys are different as eels have jaws and lampreys dont
these arent technically all of them but theyre the primary ones that youll care about 


see here
I love the wonders of taxonomy XD
you should see the drama in the protist taxonomy community
Oh god
you're more closely related to a coelacanth than a sturgeon is to a shark
(if not those combos, then another pair of fish)

seaweed isn't a plant
some people beg to differ but yes
tldr protists are potentially losing status as a kingdom and theres a lot of questions about what they actually are
They're being banished
they are many things 😌
the None of the Above of the biotic kingdoms
exiled from the realm
basically protists were anything that didnt fit into the other kingdoms which is not a good way to categorize something
Hey guys my phone is glitching si if you see randomstuff my b yall im sorry
that's okay. we're shitposting about phylogeny so it probably won't stand out
Well according to worm I'm putting wvery single pokemon in it except the objects XD
talking about taxonomy has helped with my not feeling real a little bit but i apologize again if i sound nonsensical
anyways spheal what was the verdict on tentacool/cruel
nah, not Bugs
are bunnies buges
Correction I'm putting every pokemon except objects and bugs 
Bugs Bunny is exactly whatever he wants to be
oh right
plants 
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
was that... not meant to be a reference to Bugs Bunny 😅
lol
despite watching it all the time growing up i sort of forget things
The REAL controversial ones for this tier list will be staryu and tentacool
Because they have fish in their animal names but I have a feeling they may not be fish
staryu is an echinoderm and tentacool is a cnideria which are both phylums and are thus not chordata [the phylum that fish are under] but they are sort of somewhat considered under the fish umbrella in the general public sense
starmie
ye
staryu can stay but not starmie 
i think echinoderms are so cool
i really like mollusks and crustaceans though
I love crabs
look at all the animals there are and how many of them are worms
Especially the vampire crab
crustaceans arent a phylum arthropods are the phylum but i think shellfish are interesting
slugma and magcargo are not fish
platyhelminthes nematoda and annelida are all worms hee hoo
Snails I don't believe are fish so yeah excluded by default
im glad the example for chordata is a frog. optimal chordata
all the tetrapods
i wonder if there will ever be a sea sponge pokemon
oh wait what about binacle
i think binacle is. also a mollusk?
barnacle!
so crustacean
ah crustacean not mollusk idr things sometimes
Barnacles are so weird
i still dont like barbaracle but i read the dex entries for binacle and found myself thoroughly entertained by the concept of binacle divorce [if the two binacles start fighting one will leave to find a new rock]
and clauncher and crabrawler
so
is jynx a fish
That is really funny and I wish we got another form like maushold does where there's just one binacle in the rock
what about the hitmons
are they fish?
I refuse to put that on the list 
🤔 is vaporeon a fish
...Maybe
vaporeon is sort of like a dolphin or a whale
It does have a dolphin like tail true
definitely a mammal but like
aquatic mammal
if we arent including whales or seals because theyre mammals we shouldnt include vaporeon imho
I was about to search vaporeoj for gills 
im fairly certain it doesnt have gills but idr for certain
and that begs the question. machop fish?
it has gills
I love finneon 
lumineons cry is fucking magestic
When I make this tier list will others be interested in filling it out?
mmmayhaps
i kinda just wanna see it
i dont have good enough opinions on most things to make tierlists well
I was just wonderirng if it should be a public template or a single use one, I think I'll make it public just for other people super fixated on fish haha
I love the the silhouette when it is facing you is a very elaborate butterfly, too, it's such a cool touch
There's been a development
Vaporeon is fish
Funny idea, tier list involving all the pokemon but the tier list is ranking how fish they are
nshzhabsjsj They melted oh no
i forgot i even had an entry in finish the line
Lumineon and finneon seem like nice addition to the game. Kind of a shame that they are one of the most forgettable mons, I don't think they deserve it
the last mon of basically every new batch of mon is a fish
so keep your fingers crossed for next time
Vaporeon gills actually just convergent evolution. Horizontal tail proves it's actually still a mammal
I will admit horizontal tail versus vertical is a rule I have to tell if something is a mammal or fish from a quick glance, however one trait that mammals never have is gills. There's also something to be said about mermaids who are definitely intended to have fish halves but the majority of mermaid depictions have the fish tail orientated like a whale tail because people can naturally bend and move their body in a similar swim motion to a dolphin (up and down) but really can't side to side like a fish, so it just looks more natural that way.
I love when people try to apply actual scientific rules into pokemon 
-# not that I made scientific pokemon fanfics in the past
new vaporeon copypasta incoming
Are you trying to tell me the fox cat dog thing (eevee) randomly doing a complete metamorphosis from touching a cool shiny rock into some mermaid dog that can melt into water and reform itself when it walks out wasn't supposed to have scientific rules applied to it 
i think all pokemon are therefore bugs
wish i could find the Cracked article that argues pokemon are all some alien fungus thing
I've learned that the stage right before a tadpole becoming a frog is called a froglet and I love them
Creature :)
It can throw bubble-covered pebbles with precise control, hitting empty cans up to a hundred feet away. The reason is simple--wherever they burrow, the soil is left perfectly tilled for growing delicious crops. HP: 39. Attack: 57. Defense: 34.
Special Attack: 67. Special Defense: 52. Speed: 95. Sprite by pokebio.
Looks like pokebio style alright
Wishiwashi wins that tier list
how's the tier list going blu
Ohh minior flag time
Doin art fight drawings I will return to tier list later
But vaporeon is now a fish
Art Fight is why my cyndaquil and horsea minior sprites were gal posted so early normally I let them sit in sprite work for possibly weeks but I really needed art fight prep time so I chucked them in is-my-sprite-ready and was like you better get feedback in now if you have any cause I'm not going back to these later 
Ironically I liked those two sprites a lot more than my jumpluff that I spent waaay more time on
those are ribs
they are gills smh
proof?
checks out
seems legit to me
Holy shit those are gills?!
machop gills 
does someone have the chart for all the pokemon currently in pif?
?tag sitefr The spritedex on this site?
Infinite Fusion for dummies
The generator on that website can fill in the chart automatically using spritepack data, if you wanted an easier time filling it in
fish spamming caused the minior thread to be closed 

It’s miniover
damn, there were too many fish 
I've hired
to fish you up.
how do you do fellow minior fishes
fishiors
