event-general

[tired jay]

I should be asleep

[tidal panther]

fire would you like to be the messenger

[tired jay]

Sure I guess

I just forwarded it to team emerald

[tidal panther]

danke

every team has a chart now

i'm only DMing to prevent any potential poaching, not that it would be a big deal

hopefully each team can present a completed chart by the end of fusion day, but i'm not bothered if they don't

[carmine falcon]

Guys guys guys idea

They do the april fools contest polls in april fools

But it was all a prank

And it actually never happened

[echo peak]

Nice to know the teams were equally made during that time

We could literally combine Ruby and Sapphie to match your team, no wonder we're getting smoked in everything

[proven hinge]

Isnt splatfest great

[red vigil]

https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1406954400429244416 any feedback on those little guys ?

[flint lintel]

?

[lament matrix]

#event-announcements message
Can I make trainer Cards using Pokemon not in pif?

[rigid abyss]

#event-general message

[lament matrix]

Nice

[signal nexus]

just for those who haven't yet seen

[edgy skiff]

Honestly what better way to get realistic shading drop-shadows than to sculpt it in real life

[tidal panther]

i got someone else to do it, dw

[sly shuttle]

Bit late for that

[echo peak]

Eh, just thought it get some laughs considering how underpowered our teams are

[sly shuttle]

Yeah we’re weaksauce

-# I think it’s pretty close to even distribution between the people that actually contribute points

[echo peak]

Now I feel weird about posting it

[whole arrow]

Chat look what im going to force Hero to collab with me after the event

[echo peak]

I like how everyone has all these creative food idea fusions and then there's me with a Typhlosion/Slurpuff that's a burnt marshmallow

Y'all are more creative when it comes to that kind of stuff, I just make fusions that seem cool to me lol

[sly shuttle]

Why stop there? Go full smore

[echo peak]

It sounds like a fun idea, but idk

Then again, I'm redoing the Slurpuff hair so maybe I will.

[tame egret]

I used up one of my collab slots making a slice of pie that’s less than 40 square pixels lmao

[echo peak]

I feel like I know the fusion you're talking about then lol

[placid briar]

to bad joining teams closed like a day ago

anyone not joined one by now cannot vote on the polls anymore

[echo peak]

then my joke is ruined

welp I tried

[uncut shadow]

that castform is so pretty! 🤩 do you think its possible for me to use that pallete?

[sly shuttle]

Ask Milchik

[uncut shadow]

oh its their?

[sly shuttle]

-# You don’t actually need permission for palettes anyways

Yeah, that’s Milchik’s sunny/sunny sprite

[uncut shadow]

i also really love the idea for the golisopod, good luck on it! hope it turns out great in pixel-art form!

[edgy skiff]

You do still need to credit, though!

[sly shuttle]

Hero is really good a fitting the small details into sprites, so it would be in good hands if he picks it up

[sly shuttle]

Technically no, but it is very rude if uncredited

[edgy skiff]

Milchik called me out for not crediting so I'd say you do

[sly shuttle]

[edgy skiff]

For Milchik at the very least

[uncut shadow]

glad i asked then!

[whole arrow]

yeps credit the Milch man

thanks so much for the compliment Pringleman!

and Onix!

[slow gyro]

Man, I’m not able to be egocentric this contest

[cedar quest]

No

Go be nice to people

[plucky arch]

okay so when is family fuse 2

[urban siren]

can't self promo

[cedar quest]

of course you show up after the teams close.... classic Tee moment

[sly shuttle]

@cedar quest Can we use #1263858526829416539 for feedback on this contest?

[mighty stump]

Mini art fight!

[cedar quest]

Yeah seems like a good place to do so

[edgy skiff]

Wdym, I don't have any particular reason for posting these 4 sprites of mine in particular.
But if anyone is looking for ideas to make Fan art of (the rest of my catalog is also open but I can't just dump 210 more sprites here)

[mystic mauve]

we can turn this new contest into artfight

[autumn epoch]

Very cool contest! My skills with more traditional art are very lackluster, but I’m excited to see what people make 😄

[edgy skiff]

I'm not good in any mediums outside of the pixel art and tbh I don't have the confidence to step out of the Gen 5 art style right now 😅
Especially when I'm in a quantity over quality mindset right now

[cedar quest]

You can do it as pixel art, it's a medium.

If you want a good reference, look at how yuma does things for the Magikarp Mysteries

[edgy skiff]

I'm still just in a quantity over quality mindset and honestly will probably be there for the rest of the event 😅

[cedar quest]

Maybe the charts were a bad idea....

[carmine falcon]

can we have more fusions than one in the fanart?

[edgy skiff]

WAIT A MINUTE-
COMPETITION PIF YURI

[cedar quest]

I beat you to it

[carmine falcon]

shit gordo

how

[cedar quest]

Refer to the FAQ

[carmine falcon]

you predicted me wtf

that wasn't there

I swear

[sly shuttle]

@cedar quest Is a spriter focus a valid reason for unrelated fusions?

[cedar quest]

Of like

multiple fusions from the same person

I'd argue yeah

[sly shuttle]

K

[carmine falcon]

wow I'm like

[cedar quest]

But even then I wouldn't say like you need 4+ fusions in the thing

[plucky arch]

what

[cedar quest]

And 4 is pushing it, unless it's like a full evo line maybe

[carmine falcon]

gonna sprote something so cool so cool

[edgy skiff]

btw how do you mean?

[carmine falcon]

that may or may not include a rockruff and a lycanroc midnight in it

and some leaves

[cedar quest]

Combined with the points thing we've been doing and whatnot

[carmine falcon]

wait wait gordo can I have a fusion of mine if it is with a fusion of another person?

the main focus will be the other fusion

[edgy skiff]

Oh. Yeahh-

[cedar quest]

Quantity over Quality always kinda harms the community?

But we still do it

Because people enjoy it

But idk

[carmine falcon]

cause like that's my whole plan

[cedar quest]

Complex problems got complex angles

[carmine falcon]

if not I can uhm

not do it

[cedar quest]

Like a collab with another person? I'd say no.

[carmine falcon]

no no

[edgy skiff]

I mean I've always sorta been a quanitity over quality kind of person, sometimes leaning further into quantity but sometimes also leaning into quality

[carmine falcon]

what I plan to do has 2 fusions from the same evo line just one of them I made

I just really like that other fusion

[cedar quest]

I'd say just don't do that evo line

[carmine falcon]

oh well back to the drawing board

[plucky arch]

im hearing lots of noises about evo lines

[ancient palm]

i can make a noise right now

[plucky arch]

family fuse 2

[ancient palm]

lalalalalala lalalala

[signal nexus]

how many ntm fanarts do you think we'll get 🥤

[carmine falcon]

just the person I wanted to see

[ancient palm]

No

I’m out of here

Bye

[carmine falcon]

good luck pip

[ancient palm]

(if you are wondering for realsies i am skipping the fanart contest) (i’m rapidly running out of my art juice for the month and hibernation is imminent)

[mighty stump]

Rushes are fun but I do always make sure that I think they look good before sending them off

[carmine falcon]

I have an idea for an entry

might not be able to get it done fast enough

[signal nexus]

technically, the rules don't say no pre-made art
i can totally offer PIF yuri real

[mighty stump]

YURI IS REAL?!?!?!

[mystic mauve]

obligatory "guys it hasn't even been 30 minutes"

[cedar quest]

Ugh... hold on

Knew I missed one

[ancient palm]

oh man man guys how are we supposed to pick what to draw there’s like an “Infinite” amount of “Fusions?!!?!”

[cedar quest]

Because like I wasn't thinking in terms of like

[signal nexus]

honestly, i should give God o'High Places a shout-out, given how many times i used her

[signal nexus]

artfight entries?

[cedar quest]

"Well duh the fusions are pre-made and already done, how else are you gonna make the fan-art?"

[edgy skiff]

In all fairness like half of the events have been missing that one obvious rule at first

[signal nexus]

damn, so no team shots, huh?
i can't have these guys do "pose as a team because shit just got real"?

[cedar quest]

These ones I've gotten in the distant past, they from @grave latch

[signal nexus]

oh man 🤔 one of my Wide Guarders protecting the other teammates. That'd be a cool shot

[hushed stream]

do the team pose but then also render them all separately :)

[sly shuttle]

I just started a drawing for one of those

Back to the selection board

[signal nexus]

it's okay. mine's disqualified anyway for being made during artfight

[edgy skiff]

As much as I want to repeatedly suggest one of the 4 sprites I posted above I bet that would get real annoying real fast 😅

[mighty stump]

What if everyonne submits yuri

[cedar quest]

chat whatever you do, don't grab the feedback giver role it will kill you and make your screen look like this

[mighty stump]

Yeah aiubnfuianfui

[edgy skiff]

👀

[signal nexus]

oooh, maybe Pope, King, Chief, and Czar being baller

[sly shuttle]

I’m just picking something recent in #sprite-gallery

[sharp ice]

Am I allowed to advertise everybody to make art of your guys and your guys specifically, Blu? (I am totally not biased in any way, shape, or form)

[mighty stump]

You are so not biased XD

[signal nexus]

probably the ethical way would be to only promote others
hoping for some tit for tat

[sharp ice]

EVERYBODY SHOULD DRAW FOR @mighty stump !!! THEY ARE QUITE COOL AND SWAG!!!!!

[edgy skiff]

I mean I wouldn't complain about that

[signal nexus]

dis one's cool af if you don't mind pain
https://www.fusiondex.org/329.441/

[mighty stump]

Woah, that is a cool sprite

I think I would keel over and die if I attempted to draw that

[signal nexus]

oh right
flat fuck friday

[mighty stump]

@signal nexus pory bat is really cute and the wifi signals are fun

[sharp ice]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/390.463a/

@mighty stump

's sprite!

[mighty stump]

Hey that's the first sprite I ever made! :D

[sharp ice]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/282.334/ Anotha one

[signal nexus]

i need to dig up some of my mid-evos

[sharp ice]

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/184.77/

https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/184.78a/

[sly shuttle]

This is what I have so far

[mighty stump]

Ooh now I'm thinking that making the first three sprites a spriter made would be really cool :0

[sharp ice]

My silly Absol/Pidgey sprite getting the spotlight for the first time in 1000 years

[mystic mauve]

omg thats mine!

[sly shuttle]

How’d you guess?

[signal nexus]

i remember you
https://www.fusiondex.org/424.219/

[mystic mauve]

i made it

[mighty stump]

Heehee just a little guy

[sharp ice]

little feller

[signal nexus]

showing me that Bug/Rock is surprisingly one of the best types to pair with Rock

fluffy doggo
https://www.fusiondex.org/360.465/

[mighty stump]

Floof :3

[signal nexus]

lemme see if i can find anything neat from my playthroughs

oh right the Champ's lesbian!
https://www.fusiondex.org/450.466/

[sharp ice]

I haven't played the game in a long while, but this girl was my starter for a randomized game: https://www.fusiondex.org/421.336/

[signal nexus]

i had to warm up to her, but i do think getting trounced by a girl in her mom's bell-bottoms is a vibe
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/157.477/

fun ones from the GtF game:

beeeg pussycat

[carmine falcon]

what are y'all doing

[signal nexus]

sharing cool sprites other folks have made

[rapid knot]

They're planning their entries to the Fan Art contest

[ancient palm]

what’s new pussycat woaahhh oh oh oh

[carmine falcon]

oh can I share my favorite rockruff bodies?

[mighty stump]

Promoting others sprites for fan art :D

[signal nexus]

only if they're not your own
look at this cool guy:

[rapid knot]

It would probably be best only to advertise sprites that aren't your own

Otherwise it would get annoying fast

[signal nexus]

cowboy!

[carmine falcon]

ofc not mine

[ancient palm]

I have made 0 sprites for infinite fusion

[carmine falcon]

wrong reply I guess

[rapid knot]

I have a couple of fusions I am planning on making fan art for, but I don't think I'm going to enter the contest with those

I'm taking forever to get to them, too

But after everything I'm doing behind the scenes, I should at participate in at least one contest, shouldn't I?

[signal nexus]

i remember her

[tired jay]

chaos

[rapid knot]

Not to win
Just to draw

Win lose or draw

[tired jay]

captured

[signal nexus]

sweet baby

[mighty stump]

It will be a mystery even to me whether or not I participate in the fanart contest

Likely if I submit it will be last minute

[carmine falcon]

I think these are my top rockruff bodies

[tired jay]

what if someone just made terraria fanart since sprites like these exist

[signal nexus]

oh wait wait
someone should do fanart of this guy

[mighty stump]

I don't think you want that crab to pinch you

Just a hunch

Also said crab bug is two seconds away form getting devoured

[tired jay]

does it have to be a fusion? because gastly in cat ears could be funny

[rapid knot]

I'm considering making art for Vileplume/Umbreon

Oh, it's not in the gallery...?

[sharp ice]

https://www.fusiondex.org/15.26/ Also had this fella during my first gameplay

[signal nexus]

this was a fun sprite to encounter on Pinkan:
https://www.fusiondex.org/500.501/

[rapid knot]

It's either really old or removed then >:(

I hope it's not removed

[mighty stump]

Oh there was a really fun venasaur vulpix I had in a playthrough

[rapid knot]

Oh, good, it's just old
It's still on FusionDex

[signal nexus]

oh, maybe someone should do fanart of ALL 500 MILLION ELECTRMUKUs

[rapid knot]

It was in my first playthrough
I just liked it :>

[carmine falcon]

some of my favorite midnight bodies

now for midday

[signal nexus]

oh!
this whole line's beautiful
https://www.fusiondex.org/313.45/

[rapid knot]

Corpse flower...
I got to see (and smell) a blooming corpse flower once

[mighty stump]

Okay so the one I was thinking of was definitely this one
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/3.37a/

[rapid knot]

The evo for that is in spriting guidelines

[signal nexus]

apparently, i captioned this one "please stop existing"

[mighty stump]

Buuuuut...

This one is also funny
Venupix #3.37 - FusionDex.org https://share.google/vKcRFPYw82UTyla22

[signal nexus]

clothes swapping

[tired jay]

some of these could be good

[rapid knot]

I'm mostly looking forward to getting to make compositions with backgrounds and looser restrictions on color and style

[tired jay]

Not for me since I am not doing the fanart

[rapid knot]

Maybe I'll pick a sprite by gasmaskblacky

They're all good

[signal nexus]

cutie pie

[rapid knot]

How many times have I seen that face walking back and forth through Mt Moon...

[tired jay]

too many

[rapid knot]

You know, there's one sprite I really want to give attention to, but it may not make for very impressive art

[signal nexus]

i've been doing randomizers so

[carmine falcon]

some of my favorite lycanroc-midday fusions (there are a lot, and there are even more I adore I didn't put here lol)

now I need to decide what I wanna fanart

[rapid knot]

This is the sprite that got me into PIF

[mighty stump]

Silly guy

[rapid knot]

I loved the idea of a diglett with a screaming zubat mouth

[tired jay]

some more

[signal nexus]

just a whole landscape of these guys

[carmine falcon]

I'll prolly take 2 of each pokemon from the line

[rapid knot]

A tunnel extending into the dark...

[signal nexus]

the ground that won't stop screaming

[carmine falcon]

I have a mouth and I sure will scream

[rapid knot]

Embroider this and hang it on the wall

[carmine falcon]

ok I got 5 entries

[signal nexus]

ooh, you're pretty

[carmine falcon]

I'll see what I wanna do

[rapid knot]

Did you save screenshots of fusions you liked while playing PIF?

[carmine falcon]

I wanna make a aegislash/rockruff line in uhm galar

[signal nexus]

was that to me or to Woofa?

[rapid knot]

To you

[signal nexus]

these are all screenshots of my runs from #playthrough-talk

[rapid knot]

Aha

[carmine falcon]

also gonna be gone for 2 days so I won't be able to work on my entry

I wanna think of ideas though

[signal nexus]

for example, sometimes i comment things like this:

[tired jay]

this would also be funny

it still bothers me how the order is wrong for the fight though

[signal nexus]

hell + cute

[sly shuttle]

Someone should put a bunch of them in a whack-a-mole machine and have one of them bite the hammer

[signal nexus]

it is fun to look back through my runs

[rapid knot]

I don't remember seeing a no animation rule

[carmine falcon]

omg that's true lol

someone else

smirkball reacting

is this a threat? perhaps a CHALLANGE?

[sly shuttle]

@cedar quest This real?

[carmine falcon]

[mighty stump]

Animate :0

[signal nexus]

oh right my t4 bacteriophage!
-# and that entei dropped off a trophy like a pet cat

[rapid knot]

Oh, yes, this one!
I remember really liking Sadfrog's Sunflora/Feraligatr when I saw it in the gallery

[carmine falcon]

tbh I may not have the right skills to draw the fanart I want to

but I really want to

to show the spriters how much I love their sprotes

[tired jay]

just make majora's mask fanart

[signal nexus]

another one to add to the whack-a

[rapid knot]

...I'm not sure I can make fanart that's better than this sprite, actually :0

[carmine falcon]

whack-a-mole but you may or may not get deadly burns on you while wacking them moles

[sly shuttle]

Use some INTENSE stylization

[mighty stump]

Fanart no matter the experience or skill involved is awesome to recieve! It will warm someone's heart regardless.

[signal nexus]

cake it

[rapid knot]

Last time I tried to bake a cake I burned myself pretty badly :(

[signal nexus]

a pair of cool dudes

[tidal panther]

git

[sly shuttle]

Wrong kind of cake

[rapid knot]

What kind of cake do you mean, then?

[signal nexus]

"what do we say to the god of death?"

[rapid knot]

Well, I've picked four fusions

[rapid knot]

That's enough to leave me room in case I have sudden inspiration for another one

@cedar quest, if we're not looking for feedback and just want to chat about our process, where would we go? Would we still make a concept art thread for that?

[signal nexus]

oh geez

[tidal panther]

https://tenor.com/view/sasuke-thinking-anime-naruto-gif-13593873

[signal nexus]

oh i forgot about you

prebby

[mystic mauve]

@cedar quest does the "no animation" clause apply to fan art contest?

[signal nexus]

u r cute

alright i'll stop

i've got like 150 pages of images in that channel. i'll be here all night

[rapid knot]

I'm just gonna make a concept art thread

[cursive pewter]

Oh I know EXACTLY what sprite I want to draw, I’ve been wanting to draw it for so long
Though I do need to ask, what’s the blood rule? I know excessive blood/any gore won’t be allowed, but is there a bit of leeway like in the artwork channel or no?

[cedar quest]

Here is fine tbh

[rapid knot]

Oh, cool

I was mere moments away from finishing making a concept art thread

[cedar quest]

As could as it would be to animate other people's fusions n' whatnot....

Animation is just too unhealthy for our contests, because it cannot be properly judged next to non-animated things

[echo peak]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-vào-mặt-cái-cám-bonk-anime-bonk-meme-bonk-dog-gif-26069974

[rapid knot]

We would need an animation-only contest

An animation-only contest where participants are required to work in sizeable teams could be cool

Cooking

[mighty stump]

That's sick!

I know it's just in the early stages but the colors and environment, and the whole vibe is so nice

[rapid knot]

You have to capture the vibe first

This is a vibe, too, but it's a rather different vibe

[mighty stump]

The horrors

[waxen echo]

This looks very cool!

[rapid knot]

The horrors needed their lightest tone desaturated

[rapid knot]

Okay, that's enough work for now
Hopefully these scribbles will be enough to get me excited later

The image isn't loading on my end, but maybe you guys can still see it?

[tired jay]

discord moment

[rapid knot]

Maybe it will work this time

I can see it on my end now :}

[tired jay]

Yeah now it loaded

[echo peak]

One more event after this one it seems and then passed that Team Emerald gets their awar- I mean we see the results of every team

[mighty stump]

Me sobbing and praying for Gastrodon -->

There are awesome pokemon on every team though

[echo peak]

I guarantee every team gets one vote in the end

They're not gonna leave the 2nd and 3rd place teams with nothing

[sharp ice]

Once again I am praying that Espurr/Meowstic gets good rep in any Emerald vote that happens

[echo peak]

I'll accept whatever is chosen. Probably

[sharp ice]

Same, I just have favorites, is all.

[echo peak]

We all do cough cough Barbaracle and Darmanitan cough cough

[signal nexus]

[echo peak]

I'm not ashamed of my picks. I just chose them because of my spriting capabilities. Though, the Timburr and Dwebble line would be awesome too

[sharp ice]

I have an ADHD diagnosis and no autism diagnosis. What does this mean for me.

[signal nexus]

hey, i gave barbaracle a prominent place on my propaganda for a reason 😌

[signal nexus]

uhhh solidarity?

[sharp ice]

Checks out, honestly.

[mighty stump]

Autism and ADHD solidarity!!!

https://tenor.com/view/autims-creature-just-the-two-of-us-tbh-creature-btw-creature-gif-27444434

I'm the right one :)

Also hello hello server!

[sharp ice]

Howdy!!

[rapid knot]

||Pretty sure each team has autism ||

[signal nexus]

who's the autism for the other two, then?

[rapid knot]

||The Spriters||

This is, after all
a Pokémon server

[signal nexus]

minccino, for cleaning a lot? OCD?

[rapid knot]

I hope minccino only cleans because it likes it and not because it's compelled to

[tired jay]

Can confirm emerald does

[idle forge]

I love the others section

[merry mica]

feel free to draw any of my fusions for the fanart contest

someone posted my shitty already
def allowed

[tired jay]

Simisear's cousin

[cyan gull]

Since I'm still sick, I might enter the fan art contest

[merry mica]

someone should actually draw my shitty with shits

https://www.fusiondex.org/388.525/

https://www.fusiondex.org/388.285/

[idle forge]

Since Im in tests I might not, but please draw my idiots

[cyan gull]

You think I'm drawing

[signal nexus]

bake a cake

[idle forge]

I wasnt specifically refering to you, I want something different from you Pory

[cyan gull]

That's not too far off of my idea

[signal nexus]

i've said it before
but the reason we can be trusted with salazzle is because absolutely no one has commented on this:

[tired jay]

I thought about it

[signal nexus]

(wait that should've been a response to Sami. rip)

[idle forge]

I actually just want my iconic speaker role back

[idle forge]

wut

[signal nexus]

(also if you're not aware, Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a real place. It's a natural formation that has been modified to be an outdoor arena)

[signal nexus]

as part of the "others" section

[hushed stream]

I've been there!

[idle forge]

Ah I see

[hushed stream]

i saw matilda there on like the 4th of july and then saw fireworks :)

[idle forge]

Im assuming thats some artist and not the movie about the telekenetic kid

[signal nexus]

they might have screened the movie there tbh

[hushed stream]

wait

[idle forge]

Well yeah, but matilda on 4th of july

[hushed stream]

no i went to .. apparently it's called tuachan amphitheatre

but it is also surrounded by red rocks

[idle forge]

Okay, but did ya see the movie

[signal nexus]

looks like a neat place, too

[hushed stream]

i watched the musical :)

[idle forge]

Theres a musical

!?!?

[signal nexus]

Red Rocks is in Colorado and Tuachan is in Utah
so they're both in the american southwest and have similar geography. i can see that 🤔

[hushed stream]

https://www.tuacahn.org/show/matilda-the-musical-2018/

wow 2018....

[idle forge]

Well thats a fun fact

[cyan gull]

It is certified cool, when I lived near it I visited it, it rocks

[tidal panther]

is this submittable for the concept art contest

[merry mica]

lol is that charjabug

[tidal panther]

pinjabug

[merry mica]

i think it could work
these two should be switch around tho

[lament matrix]

Best time to make fanart of my stuff
https://www.fusiondex.org/artists/zerocipher2.0/

[torpid osprey]

"Cannot be your own Fusions"

[torpid osprey]

So better not start with those

Oh wait, this si self promotion isn't it
I missunderstood

[lament matrix]

Yes

[urban siren]

i kinda want to draw fusions in cafe remix style

[merry mica]

btw if anyone makes fanart of ribbons fusions, ping me so i can send it to her

[uncut shadow]

Is it possible to exchange artworks? Like I'll draw someones fusion and they'll draw one of mine

[jagged hinge]

Oh that sounds so awesome!

[white wagon]

That's cobblemon right

Also, I f ckin dare y'all to fanart something from this guy https://www.fusiondex.org/artists/markusknight/

It's top 40 when it comes to number of sprites, this guy gotta be good or at least there's 1 that's good

-# quantity> quality

[signal nexus]

no self-promo guys
it's against the rules

?tag rule10 see?

[urban knot]

Rule 10 DISALLOWED CONTENT: Self-promotion/Advertisement. This has been a grey area in the past and a little unclear on when it is and is not appropriate to do, so from now on we are asking you all to simply not do it here, thanks!

[white wagon]

Isn't doing fanart of your shit forbidden? Not self promo?

Uh

[edgy skiff]

I think Worm's making a joke

If asking people to make fan art of one of your fusions is against the rules then I'm already screwed

[uncut shadow]

So can you do that?

[proven hinge]

if they agree to i dont see why not

[dense jackal]

Pretty sure it's just a Lego building simulator

[signal nexus]

yeah, i don't think this kind of self promo falls under rule10, heh
-# i do think it's a bit gauche and think it'd be cooler to promo other folks' sprites, though

[uncut shadow]

can someone make fanart of my fusions?

[uncut shadow]

Not me lmao

[signal nexus]

you're the pringle man

[lament matrix]

@cedar quest question about the fan art thing
Would one be allowed to use non if fusions?
Like I made many Gogoats can one add them to the fanart and still be valid

[tidal panther]

It says in the rules you can use non IF that are in the vote

[lament matrix]

Oh found it
Its not allowed

[signal nexus]

for fanart contest?
and you can't use your own fusions

[tidal panther]

Oh nevermind

I read the question wrong

Thought concept art instead of fanatt

Art

[signal nexus]

legit

[tidal panther]

I caught the RPG curse

Can't read

[signal nexus]

i guess fanarting non-IF sprites you've made and calling it concept art would be against the spirit of the rules, huh 🤔

[tidal panther]

Ain't against the letter of em

[slow gyro]

@cedar quest are animations allowed for the fanart contest?

[lament matrix]

Oh nah it was about if others could fanart my non if fusions
But I saw it said in IF

[edgy skiff]

No
It's unfair to judge Animations next to single image fan art

GamR's words

(I think)

[slow gyro]

Why? Either way one of the judged things would be quality

Cause for example, I’m bad at painting, but painting is allowed

That doesn’t make it unfair

[edgy skiff]

I mean each frame of animation would basically be its own fan art

[slow gyro]

Not exactly

[edgy skiff]

I'm just stating what GamR said 😭

[edgy skiff]

Here

[slow gyro]

Shame

[edgy skiff]

There's GamR's message

[tame egret]

If you allow animation then it suddenly raises the standards an insane amount and leads to fewer entries as it becomes way harder to compete

It would be cool if animation was allowed every so often in specific contests but I feel like for something as varied as this it isn’t a good idea

[slow gyro]

But why? If 3D modeling, painting and other art forms are allowed, why I can’t use the one I’m best at

Im not talking about animating pixel art

[tame egret]

Animation is a very different kind of art form though

[slow gyro]

I wanted to animate an attack animation

[slow gyro]

So is 3D modeling and it is allowed

[sly shuttle]

Just put motion into a still piece

[slow gyro]

Same with handcrafting things

[edgy skiff]

A 3d model isn't multiple frames of art

Again, you could boil down an animation as being a stack of fan art

[tame egret]

The people who make 3d models don’t upload the model file though, they upload a still image of the model, so no matter the medium, the result is always a single piece of art that’s a still image, so animation is a different thing

[signal nexus]

what if you made the animation anyway

[slow gyro]

It still feels unfair to me tho
Animating is making multiple drawings, yea, but non are as detailed as a static drawing

I am really bad at adding details to regular drawings

[sly shuttle]

There nothing stopping you from just making a fan animation outside of the contest

[slow gyro]

Im considering it, it would improve my portfolio, but I also wanted to get points for my team

[sly shuttle]

Submit one frame of the animation

[signal nexus]

is there any pentaldty for getting disqualified? 🤔

[signal nexus]

honestly, this for realisies

you get points

[slow gyro]

Nope, but animations take time, so it would stop me from getting points with other stuff

[tame egret]

It’s still a different art form though, if the people who made actual clay models or 3d models sent them in their physical or file form then sure, but what they end up sending in is still a 2d image, no matter the process to make it, animation is a whole different thing since it could also be made with all of these different means but produces a different result, being a video

[slow gyro]

Honestly if I were to do one animation, it might be my only entry, cause of how time consuming they’re

[tame egret]

Oh wait I forgot to set it as a reply

[sly shuttle]

You can submit five distinct frames of the same animation

[edgy skiff]

Regardless of whether or not it's fair, thems just the rules unfortunately

[slow gyro]

Then they’ll only need to see them fast enough on loop

[slow gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/madagscar-penguins-i-make-my-own-options-gif-9833864

@cedar quest Im here to convince you to allow animations

As gifs, not full on videos

[tame egret]

A gif is still a video 😭

[hushed stream]

put the frames if the animation next to each other like a comic

[swift token]

People's brains prefer moving pictures to still images, it would give a massive leg up in judging it would be cool but I can see why animations are not allowed

[proven hinge]

i feel like the argument that it immensely raises the skill ceiling of the contest if allowed is fair to make

[cedar quest]

Look, it's be cool, but allowing animations never goes well

It's a can of worms that I've tried to tackle again and again that never works well for these things if allowed

[lament matrix]

Can the trainer cards use fusions? If yes how do we have to work with the credit?

[long basin]

im winning

[merry mica]

no i am

[sharp ice]

my buddy andrew is winning

i think

[cerulean nebula]

Omfg I mean in the event

The teams

[mighty stump]

Yeah that's what Antler was talking about

[cerulean nebula]

No like what team is winning, and how can you tell?

[mighty stump]

Since the Andrew is in team Emerald with all the people

[mighty stump]

We can't

[cerulean nebula]

Oh lord

Welp, my dreams of accelgor and electross being in pif are ruined :(

[mighty stump]

Not unless you go through the entire sprite gallery and count the points for all of them, and then go through every event with announced winners and put those points on

I mean, there's still a slim chance for team Sapphire and Ruby

[torpid dirge]

We are both certainly the underdogs, but there is a chance either Sapphire or Ruby are ahead

[slow gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-satoru-gojo-lock-in-nah-id-win-amenathus-gif-1889648742143147519

I’d win

[tidal panther]

ruby whatever hero wants i need you to not vote for it

unless it's something i want

I shall put my own spin on a classic, then.

emerald is actually winning no matter what, the pokemon emerald glazers are actually rampant

don't get me wrong its a good game

but holy their team is STACKED

i refuse to engage in defeatism 😌

sewaddle isnt a want its a need

[cerulean nebula]

tbh, idk whos winning, it's not defeatism, i just have no clue whats happening

also i have to make my own bc this dowsnt have emolga or cutiefly on it

dont make things weird when they arent. sewaddle line is genuinely a cool theme executed well

[signal nexus]

Kidskin was one of my teammates in my Black playthrough

[agile quest]

i see

its a good pokemon

swadloon is also adorable

grumpy teenager in its blankets

[cerulean nebula]

i've seen too many, some fans don't deserve pokemon

[agile quest]

i still think cutiefly/wailord would look amazing

and cutiefly bodies are just cute in my mind

like those tiny joltik base ones

[signal nexus]

as i've said before, there are only three lines i would not be happy about
like, i convinced myself to like purugly
i think heatmor has some great potential
diggersby could make some cool dwarven aesthetics

[long scarab]

I love swadloon, one of my favorite bugs

[agile quest]

what lines are they? i may have missed the convo

[cerulean nebula]

i hate diggersby, please, its rabbit season

[agile quest]

not about diggersby joke about my name

[cerulean nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-eat-eating-food-monster-h-reginald-gif-2362901127389079325

[long basin]

you can hate diggersby but I have no clue how you could disagree with worm’s point about the aesthetics, it’d be a good mon

[agile quest]

lmfao

[cerulean nebula]

i eated it, you can no longer have ball

[signal nexus]

personally:
||foongus - i think its aesthetics are already covered by voltorb and morelull||
||cubchoo - i can't stand snot||
||starly - the most generic bird bodies. if you want emo haircuts, add stunky||

[agile quest]

i personally disagree but i understand

[long basin]

not very nice smh

[agile quest]

i think thats sort of uncalled for

also just an odd thing to say but i dont want to discuss personal opinions here

[cerulean nebula]

[agile quest]

just liek. a little tasteless ig but no worries

[signal nexus]

anyway, what are your thoughts, then?

[cerulean nebula]

i can give a genuine non tasteless opinion, brb while i research

[long scarab]

nothing wrong with opinions, everybody ahs them. I don't think disliking diggersby is uncommon. He do got fun ears tho

[agile quest]

i have cubchoo bias bc of pokepark, i honestly think the amoongus line could have some interesting things with the mushroom aspect of it, though i agree about starly being generic even if i do like it

id have to actually check what id be honestly disappointed by but ik one of them is ||minccino||

i have to look bc now that choose your team is gone i dont have the emerald and sapphire images anymore 😔

[sharp ice]

I have bias towards Bunnelby since it was my first ever full-odds shiny that I've caught. Named her Diamond, she's in my game of Pokemon Y.

[long basin]

my least favorite would be basculin, since it’s pretty similar aesthetically to carvanah (which evolves into sharpedo) and isn’t better than any other mon in any way imo. only redeeming quality would be the basculegion alts. I also wouldn’t be a huge fan of emolga, but I can’t really think of any particular reason why. I love cubchoo btw

[signal nexus]

yeah, like
purugly, diggersby, and watchog are all considered ugly
which... they are? but tbh uglier 'mons have a lot more to work with fusion-wise

[long scarab]

I love that someone loves every pokemon, even the ones I can't stand

makes it more fun tbh

[agile quest]

basculin makes sense. its just like... of all the fish options we have rn that one is literally just a fish

[cerulean nebula]

wait, they closed pick your team, what are the pokemon avalable for each team again?

[agile quest]

alomomola would also suck but can guarantee if ruby wins theres no way we're voting for it

[long basin]

yeah, I also just really like ugly mons though. like why would you hate a mon for being ugly? I think it just makes mons more interesting sometimes

[signal nexus]

hopefully this works

[agile quest]

here are ruby ones

oh thanks worm

[signal nexus]

i made my caveat "only if it's included as luvdisc's evo"

[long scarab]

think of all the wacky furfrou haircuts that could happen

[signal nexus]

fish bodies can be as bad as bird bodies, yeah. at least basculin does have that underbite for recognizability 🤔

[long basin]

I think alomomola would be alright, it has an interesting body at least, and is somewhat different from luvdisc. would have more flavor than some other fish mons, but obviously not my favorite pick or anything

[long scarab]

I still really want the vanilluxe line so we can make sundaes out of every mon

[long basin]

pretty sure it has a good hp stat or something as well, making it decent for pvp and stuff. don’t know or anything though

[agile quest]

ok ||pacherisu. i like it but like idk.. it doesnt have anything super unique or interesting going on with it.||

[signal nexus]

the main drawback of vanilluxe line is i imagine it'd get the klinklang treatment
difficulty differentiating the stages and the middle stage getting overlooked

[long basin]

the only pikaclone from the votes I would actually like is togedemaru, much more interesting design and concept-wise than the others

[long scarab]

yeah I could see that

[agile quest]

i think final stage is distinct but i was thinking itd be hard to tell between vanillite and vanillish

[agile quest]

i love emolga the most. i like plusle and minin but as IF mons they arent... amazing

[long basin]

fair

[cerulean nebula]

ok, my 3 least favs
diggersby: don't need to explain
conkeldurr: i honestly don't understand it and it also looks weird
dedenne: just a pikachu clone, i honestly don't see how it could be useful to fuse with

[signal nexus]

pachirisu looks like it should be an Ice type 😅

[agile quest]

i think the flying squirrel thing has potential and it has a nice color palette

lol why? doesnt have to be yellow to be an electric type 😔

[long basin]

yeah, guess it would be better than pachirisu for sure

[signal nexus]

🤔 spikes on the back look like icicles, i think

[agile quest]

i like pachi because of pokepark also

i dont know a lot post gen 5 or have strong opinions on it

[signal nexus]

:nodnod:
of the pikaclones, i think emolga has the most potential because flying squirrel
but my first game was Black so maybe i'm biased

[cerulean nebula]

remember that it won a world championship, it is close and rapidly approaching your location

start running

[agile quest]

i have a bias against dedenne but its personal

[long scarab]

but also this is amazing

[signal nexus]

🫵 bald

[long scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/bald-bald-head-shiny-bald-head-sponge-bob-sponge-bob-square-pants-gif-4830356535569685568

[agile quest]

theres this tumblr poll thing. its which pokemon would make a better pet. it was nymble v dedenne and ig nobody read dedenne's dex entries bc it one and im still salty about it

[cerulean nebula]

emolga is the least pikachu of the pikachu clones,

[agile quest]

it does have some design potential with the wifi whiskers and plug tail though

[signal nexus]

dedenne is Fairy type, at least
there's a reason i have the timburr line listed as dark horses. i think they have the bruxish potential

[agile quest]

i feel like pachi is bc its coloration and squirrelness dont feel pikachu at all but its sort of very close between the two

[cerulean nebula]

wym bruxish potential

seriously though what is that?

[agile quest]

i honestly do think the timburr line has interesting fusion potential but it is ugly yeah

its ugly on purpose

like say what you will but the aesthetics of the line are very focused and definitely fit the theme of construction person

[long basin]

exactly, I love the timburr line both as pokemon and as a potential mon for if

[agile quest]

i cant draw muscles like at all though

[cerulean nebula]

the only reason i'd actually fuse that line is for having a giant log/pillar as a weapon, i can see why y'all like it though

[long basin]

there is more potential than that, but that alone is pretty cool

[cerulean nebula]

i don't see it, please enlighten me

[signal nexus]

lisa frank hell /pos

[agile quest]

with construction being a theme id love to see palossand fused with the line

[long basin]

well as bunny said it has all sorts of uses for construction workers and stuff, also just another cool fighting type. I can’t describe everything about it but it definitely has potential

[signal nexus]

especially since tinkaton's not gonna be available

[long basin]

true

[icy jasper]

controversial opinion: I don't like salazzle

[agile quest]

i think for fusion a pokemon with a clear aesthetic is the best for it. something like pacherisu doesnt really have a theme outside of being a squirrel that's blue, but sewaddle line's leaf fashion, or timburr line's comstruction worker theming, makes for good fusions

[cerulean nebula]

i'm looking at it through the lens of usefulness and overall looks, not really fusion potential, but with that in mind, least fusion potental imo goes to drumroll please

litleo, its a regular ass lion cub

[agile quest]

never got the hype though my old tcg pocket fire deck used salazzle

[tidal panther]

pyroar has tonnes but litleo has 0

you can do so much with a mane

and you've got the variety to choose the female version if you want as well

[signal nexus]

i like whiptail lizards, so

[agile quest]

you know who i havent heard anyone talk about at all [keep in mind i dont look at this channel a lot]? helioptile

[cerulean nebula]

i ment litleo, not the line as a whole, but the pyroar asthetic i can see

[icy jasper]

salazzle already has a questionable thing it is based off of

anyways

[cerulean nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-scary-dinosaur-gif-14570090

[signal nexus]

oh yeah!
it's a cool little thing. i thought it'd be a lot more popular than it is

[long basin]

if you’re judging by the looks of the mon itself, you might be surprised by some of the fusions that may come of it. fusion potential also means potential designs

[agile quest]

i like frilled lizards

comfey feels like itd be awkward for fusions tbh

[icy jasper]

heliolisk would bring in some interesting fusion ideas imo

[long basin]

sure, veins may be gross, but as a body mon they wouldn’t even need to be veins. and as a head, it could be used to make some pretty cool parts of the design

[tidal panther]

helioptile feels like they could do a frilled dinosaur third evo for it at some point

[agile quest]

or a mega would be cool

[cerulean nebula]

i can't wait for every single amoongus fusion to be an among us joke

[signal nexus]

eh, not really worse than froslass?
i love her stupid lingerie markings. i like how she's a sexy female lizard that isn't given boobs. her markings and colors are great, and also whiptail lizards are just neat in general

[icy jasper]

I'm more worried about the fusions

[agile quest]

it seems everyone agrees [or is more focused on other mons]

[long basin]

maybe not the best for fusions because of the design trope, though

[cerulean nebula]

there are auto detect things to see if someone is taking the topic riskay, i'd suggest not getting mods involved

[agile quest]

tbh you could say that about a lot of mons. kind of just the territory of the internet ig

[signal nexus]

i wonder how many comfey alts will be "'mon in a flower crown"

[agile quest]

i honestly think itd be most of them

[long basin]

some people like it, I don’t see a reason to dislike it. it might be awkward for some designs, but it can act like klefki, or you could just make the body mon have the face comfey has and give it a flower crown and some other flower aspects

[icy jasper]

moving on: what about cherrim fusions

[agile quest]

its not really that i dislike it I just feel like as a body mon its awkward. i feel that way about klefki as well

[cerulean nebula]

the bloomed version has potential, cherrim in the flower, not so much

[agile quest]

i like cherrim! the aesthetics are interesting and itd be fun to see some more "nature" looking minior meteor/core type fusions

[long basin]

yeah, I guess, but you can still get pretty creative with the two of them can definitely still be awkward

[cerulean nebula]

omg hear me out, minor shell form taken over by vines and leaves

[agile quest]

yeah its neat

[cerulean nebula]

when awakened its a ton of high saturated flowers

[signal nexus]

i feel like the tsareena line covers both cherrim and florges aesthetics in one

[agile quest]

but i meant like similar concept

[cerulean nebula]

also tsareena is a powerful pokemon

[agile quest]

ok but that ignores that it has a hidden and blooming form so it combines that aesthetic branch with minior gimmicks

[long basin]

I would kinda disagree with this

[agile quest]

and also i just disagree yeah

idk how tsareena covers those aesthetics besides also being a plant

[signal nexus]

"gardevoir but players won't complain about the better sprite having the worse stats" was too wordy for the emerald propaganda sheet

[agile quest]

id agree if its like lilligant but florges and cherrim are pretty distinctly different

[long basin]

I like tsareena but it’s a totally different mon from those two

[cerulean nebula]

i see a lot of us disagree with eachother

[cerulean nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/imposter-tf2-hidino-it-could-be-you-it-coud-be-me-gif-23428091

[long basin]

not as bad as people say it is. recognizability isn’t that bad because of the different emotions and hair of the three monkeys

[tired jay]

Which is probably about how many fans it has in general

[signal nexus]

🤔 idk, i'm not... stoked about minior gimmicks. i saw people struggle with core vs meteor bodies during the minior rush
but i'm open to being convinced otherwise

[signal nexus]

i just wish there was one monkey and we could play around with the aesthetics
but i also wished there was one mathrat, so

[agile quest]

tbf unlike core and meteor there are vastly different colors and aesthetics instead of "mon but rock and brown and then neon energy mon"

its also hard to have the overlap of "is this meteor or core?" because of the different palettes

[agile quest]

whats a mathrat

[signal nexus]

controversial opinion: if we can ensure everyone behaves rule8-wise and will lean into the detective aesthetics, i wouldn't mind gumshoos
and you could do something cool with yungoos's teeth

[long basin]

i would love gumshoos, and i have no clue why people hate on it just for the hair

[long basin]

you could probably make some patterns of your own for specific fusions

[signal nexus]

trainer card contest foreshadowing vivillon's inclusion
just. slap those flucking trainer cards on the vivillon wings

[cerulean nebula]

whats a pokemon you think no one wants, all team pokemon included

[signal nexus]

i'm assuming beyond the obvious candidates of burmy and the monkeys?

[long basin]

i want most of the pokemon so I couldn’t really answer that as I said the only one I genuinely don’t want is basculin, which could still be cool

[cerulean nebula]

people like simipour here

[long basin]

I like all three of’em

favorite is simisage tho

[cerulean nebula]

INTRUDER ALERT, RED SPY IS IN THE BASE

[signal nexus]

🤔 i haven't seen much hype for kriketune beyond delelelele memes

[cerulean nebula]

/j

[cerulean nebula]

goated cry tho

[long basin]

pretty good for music stuffs

[cerulean nebula]

would go well with chatot

[signal nexus]

he does have a great pompadour

[long basin]

I love chatot btw, specifically because of a shiny one I got in pixelmon that I flew on everywhere

[signal nexus]

i've also seen a few people outright dislike seismitoad? i can't see it, myself

[signal nexus]

chatot/simisage fusion for Elvis

also i'm surprised dragalge doesn't get tons of hype?

[long basin]

some people dislike that it loses the “music” aspect from tympole, but I can’t really see it in the first place. tympole kinda feels like a baby mon to me, actually

[cerulean nebula]

its cool that you have opinions, but you've been giving praise to every pokemon, which one do you dislike the most

is it miltank?

[long basin]

basculin, again I have plenty of good things to say about all of them

oh you mean out of all of them

I don’t dislike miltank, it has a pretty good design. it’d be really hard for me to pick an actual least favorite so closest thing is smoochum

[cerulean nebula]

basculegon though is a diffrent story, i know he won't be added but let a man dream

[tired jay]

Oh i know someone gives it hype

[long basin]

yeah, I praised it for the alts it would have of basculegion

[cerulean nebula]

dragalge is a really cool pokemon, just don't care for it all that much tbh

[tired jay]

They used their mod power to change to sapphire after they realized dragalge was sapphire

[cerulean nebula]

oh him

[signal nexus]

🤔 mm, expands the "music" motif to grander vibrations up to earthquakes
at least to me
but i also thought roggenrola was supposed to look like an amp, so

[icy jasper]

smh mod switching teams that's not allowed

[cerulean nebula]

roggenrola is a sentient pencil sharpener

[long basin]

oh yeah, that too. just saying that’s what most people say, but I kinda interpreted the warts as drums too, if that makes sense? i agree that it expanded on the idea, just a lot of people don’t see that and hate on it

[signal nexus]

its name is roggenrola! how was i not supposed to think it was meant to have a music motif?

[signal nexus]

yeah, exactly!

[mighty stump]

How does tsareena cover cherrim?

[cerulean nebula]

music? related to roggenrola? what on earth are you talking about?

[mighty stump]

Cherrim brings cherry blossoms, tsareena doesn't seem super related

[signal nexus]

also i think i should go to bed as i'm not spriting anymore lmao

[long basin]

more cherubi and bounsweet both being fruits
less their evos

[cerulean nebula]

oh

[mighty stump]

Ah

[cerulean nebula]

[long basin]

they are completely different fruit with completely different designs though

[agile quest]

the eyebrows are music notes

[mighty stump]

Cherrubi and cherrim are the silliest of cute little guys that have cherries and bounsweet is sort of the same way (with the fruit it uses) but bounsweet's evos don't carry the same spirit

[agile quest]

anyways my head hurts a lot so no more talking for meee

[long basin]

never noticed that i originally thought that the headphones were designed to be earmuffs, which is why i mentioned the baby pokemon thing

[mighty stump]

Also... Cherrim can make cool sunshine versus gloom fusion sprites

@cedar quest are animations allowed for the fanart contest?

thinking of doing a fanart with multiple frames but wanna know if those are legal first

[cedar quest]

Nope

[median spear]

that saves me alot of time ig

[sharp ice]

@cyan gull Sorry for the ping, but I had a question regarding one of my entries for the Trainer Card Contest, and I was advised to ask you about it. I've replied to my original message, but I'm essentially curious if I would have to also credit the person who gave me the idea for a card design alongside myself when submitting my entry. Thank you in advance.

[cyan gull]

you should credit them, but only 1 of you will get the role if you win

[sharp ice]

Alrighty, sounds good. Only other question then is which name should be listed first. Otherwise, everything makes sense to me.

[cyan gull]

order doesn't really matter, but more than likely I'd use the 1st name to give the role to, if it won

[sharp ice]

Okie dokie, sounds good. Thank you for the information!

[cyan gull]

[potent sorrel]

Wonder if someone will make fan art of my ducks

wheres speed spriter #2

[edgy skiff]

oh yeah that should've started

[ancient palm]

weed spriter

wonder what the twist for this will be

[tidal panther]

non-if speed spriter non-if speed spriter non-if speed spriter non-if speed spriter

🙏

[cedar quest]

Well since Pory's been out sick

And Hai isn't around....

I don't know anything about Speed Spriter 2

Therefore

Imma can it

[tidal panther]

Hai's talking in RPG

[cedar quest]

This all I got

[fallen light]

kaede's currently doing a battle i think

[cinder stag]

the real speed was the contests we made along the way

[odd garnet]

Did I submit it right?

[signal nexus]

lesbians!

[odd garnet]

Lesbians?

OH I made Roserade's cape too long

Eh

[signal nexus]

but
lesbians

[odd garnet]

Does it count even if Meloetta is Genderless?

[signal nexus]

enby lesbians 😌

[odd garnet]

Did I submit it right though? There's like people submitting without the border and someone didn't submit without the blank space at the side

[signal nexus]

🤔 i feel like someone asked for clarification somewhere in #1281689585235267716. maybe poke around in there?

[odd garnet]

Thank you 👍

[merry mica]

[signal nexus]

🤔 looks like the soonest deadline will be Trainer Card in four days

Lesbians

[near horizon]

#1407071147467608175 i hope it's ready for the beach contest x)

[mystic mauve]

i dont think it's ready
-# because you're team ruby

[edgy skiff]

Anyone else notice how for the concept art contest Ruby and Emerald get 5 suggestions for theme elements while Sapphire only gets 4?
This is clear and direct favoritism and sabotage and I would like to see the manager (I can't stress how much I'm joking right now )

[agile quest]

i feel like ice types could be sapphire but shrugs

kyogre is also the only one of the trio that is always monotypre

since groudon gets fire type in primal form but kyogre is just a whale

[edgy skiff]

Yea
I understand why it is the way it is but It's just funny to act like it's an issue

[proven hinge]

tell kyogre to get a second type then

[cinder stag]

water is just such a good type it doesnt need it

[edgy skiff]

I mean in all fairness Water is the most plentiful type

[cinder stag]

hmm what secondary type could primal kyogre gain?

[cinder stag]

fairy

i feel like primal kyogre could be water/psychic

[cinder stag]

iread strongest not plentiful sorry

[edgy skiff]

Water/Dark

[ancient palm]

i always thought primal kyogre should of been water dark

[cinder stag]

it has glowy shit in it so i dont rly see dark

[ancient palm]

It lives at the bottom of the sea

That’s pretty dark

[edgy skiff]

Water/Fairy

[cinder stag]

electric cause thunderstorms? bit of a stretch

[edgy skiff]

But it would be cool!

I actually completely dig that

It would synergize with the move Thunder which always hits during Rain

And I think it could give Primal Kyogre a competitive buff it probably doesn't need

I mean it gains Electric neutrality, Flying resistance, and 1/4 resistance to Steel in exchange for a Ground weakness which I guess does make it significantly more vulnerable to Primal Groudon

[lament matrix]

I added non ifs from all teams

[agile quest]

burmy

[sly shuttle]

Remove Zorua or add something to the right

[oblique heath]

zorua looks too shaded, try something like this! (jokes apart it looks cool, maybe zorua is a bit too eyecatching, try making it 1 shade darker)

[lament matrix]

#1408196663243444254

[lament matrix]

One shade darker and its the background

[dense jackal]

Could be worth a shot though, just having the highlights pick it out, and the red flick

[rapid knot]

You see Kyogre is mono water

(I wrote that announcement, and I'm a Sapphire )

Also, the type to represent oceans is water

While the starter type that's blue is water

Sapphire just has a very clear theme while the other ones are vaguer

Of course, though, those are only ideas and not rules

As long as you can show someone the idea and they go, "Yeah, that could be a Sapphire thing", it counts

[mighty stump]

Does the concept art contest have the same max canvas size as the fan art contest?

[graceful plank]

@cedar quest could you please add timestamps to the announcement

I'm just guesstimating that CET is 8 hours behind me

[mighty stump]

Oh yeah that could mess someone up if they don't notice it's not adjusting to their timezone

[cedar quest]

who tf is Gorum

[graceful plank]

Wtf

I guess mobile pulled up the wrong person

[cedar quest]

I shall wait for them to add the timestamps 🫡

I believe in them

[storm crag]

Yea I’ll get right on that (I have no idea what’s going on)

[tranquil tusk]

you got this gorum

[cedar quest]

holy shit you actually responded

I thought you would've been like one of the million active users we got

Mad lad

[agile quest]

holy shit gorum

i agree the timestamps would be nice tho

[tranquil tusk]

first message too lol

[cedar quest]

First message.....

[cedar quest]

no why'd you edit it.....

[plucky arch]

when family fuse 2

[edgy skiff]

Family Fuse 2 is when Team Ruby and Team Sapphire merge to fight Team Emerald

[agile quest]

this is us now [art by @/elevn. idk if i have to credit to send this but better safe than sorry]

[ancient palm]

This is garnet . Back together

[plucky arch]

ehat the fuck is a team emerald

im too old for this

[long basin]

im a team emerald!

[limpid sphinx]

my dream is it

[weak hearth]

LOL, I didn't notice, I like how the redesign turned out. Tag me when you publish it

[whole arrow]

i certainly will

[mighty stump]

Legends ZA spoilers: ||I love how mizzyislost on Tumblr drew mega victreebell, silliest full of soup goober||

[white wagon]

GORUM IS ALIVE!

[white wagon]

I hate this design with passion

I mean, not the ones you sent specifically, but ||mega victreebell in general||

[rigid abyss]

Then what's ur opinion on ||mega dragonite ||

[white wagon]

|| I think it's ok? Not too hyped, not too bummed out, I think it being kinda goofy and wholesome fits||

[oblique heath]

||the mega victreebell design is more like the slowbro one (tho mega slowbro looks good), made to be funny and imo it looks so bad that i kinda like it, the mega dragonite is made to be kinda like a mega altaria, but imo it doesn't end up looking cute, just low effort, i think they could have went more on the dragonair design to make it adorable or to the hermes side (i think it's inspired also by him) to make it more majestic, tho it doesn't look bad because dragonite design is already good, adding a few wings doesn't make it go to a c tier design||

[lament matrix]

I can try

[lament matrix]

I think the Zorua is nice there
It fills a corner
But I also like the empty one cuz it would get too clutterd for me

[lament matrix]

I dont like it

[dense jackal]

I think it looks pretty cool, but probably only because I know what's supposed to be there. There's probably a middle ground where it has enough light to work it out, but not as much light as before.
But you said you didn't like this version so you should probably just roll it back

[jagged hinge]

Is this meant as a grave box for nuzlockes? If not you gave me an idea…

[subtle moss]

a farm?

I had that idea few days back

[jagged hinge]

A farm like how dead pets are taken to a “farm” on the countryside?

[subtle moss]

yeah

I was gonna submit it with the filename 'farm upstate'.

[jagged hinge]

I was thinking a more literal graveyard but that’s def funnier

[subtle moss]

I might still make a farm myself

[jagged hinge]

Ohh that would also be cool for a eggs box

[sly shuttle]

@cedar quest If we make the same fusion as someone with the intent of offending them, they still are not allowed to get mad, correct?

[echo peak]

dibs on making this one

[cedar quest]

what

[sly shuttle]

Rule 5 says we can do that

[whole arrow]

I picked my speed spriter possibilities

How about you guys

[oblique heath]

hey i'm there!

[sly shuttle]

I might not compete in this one
