event-general

[edgy skiff]

The thing with Gastrodon forms is that I don't think they have different stats or movepools or anything? But different shapes yeah they'd be unique to sprite so I'm down for it

[quartz pebble]

I'm certainly not complaining at those choices, as much as I'd love my boi wishiwashi

[vast jay]

Exactly

[shrewd dirge]

Lycanroc had different design too

[broken robin]

Im dumping my inventory and tanking sapphire stocks

[signal nexus]

i guess unfezant would be split by gender then, too

[quartz pebble]

Don't crash the fish market it's all we have

[vast jay]

Hyped for either of those

[signal nexus]

any plans to split Blade and Shield Forme Aegislash?

[edgy skiff]

Cool! Here's hoping we'll see them then!

[rapid knot]

That's not even a color or shape change
That's just a pose change

[cedar quest]

Don't you mean a

A

Stance Change

[rapid knot]

Required pose change could be interesting though

[vast jay]

Man I wish, it's kinda too late and a mess to sort

[signal nexus]

see?

[cedar quest]

Similar issue with the Rotoms and Deoxys

[quartz pebble]

That's got the same energy as the show saying it's name and everyone freaking out

[jagged hinge]

Rotom would be so cool…

[rapid knot]

I don't wanna differentiate Deoxys form heads anyways

[edgy skiff]

I feel like Rotom's would be worth doing tbh

[cedar quest]

truth nuke...

[quartz pebble]

Just drop an emergency hotfix and remove aegislash temporaryly

[vast jay]

I'm interested to see how the judged contests are going to change the results. I already tallied up the points for the gallery sprites

[cedar quest]

Deoxys heads would be nightmarish

[edgy skiff]

The rotoms are unique in every single way

[vast jay]

Noooo

[minor garnet]

I am a Grinnade

[broken robin]

mandatory washing machines would kinda remove the fun of some of the custom appliances tho

[rapid knot]

Is that like a fancy word for a greninja fan or smth

[minor garnet]

No its a grinnade

[edgy skiff]

I am so curious about whoever has the most points currently alas I know I must wait

[minor garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/skylanders-skylanders-trap-team-grinnade-gif-11706686443537553671

[shrewd dirge]

Greninja juice

[rapid knot]

I love the phrase "mandatory washing machines" out of context

[quartz pebble]

Okay I need to leave Im back to school now I actually need sleep

[minor garnet]

A grenade with a grin

[shrewd dirge]

Eminemace wtf

[rapid knot]

You could try counting galposts yourself

[edgy skiff]

[minor garnet]

Too lazy

[slate otter]

I have a really good idea if the monkeys get in
A triple fusion of all of them where they have hands over their mouth eyes and ears like their inspirations are from

[vast jay]

By law, I cannot say

[signal nexus]

i like rotom being one slot for the same reason i wanted plusle and minun to be one
it allows for more creativity with what appliances you can use
like the tamagotchi, or the bug zapper
https://www.fusiondex.org/29.358/
https://www.fusiondex.org/49.358/

[minor garnet]

And we all know its me anyways

[rapid knot]

Actually, today could be the day
I need a Fighting/Dragon

[quartz pebble]

God skylanders trap team was too goated

[signal nexus]

grenade?

[minor garnet]

Grinnade

[rapid knot]

If we voted in the monkeys, could we triple fuse them?

[edgy skiff]

Don't you make the laws around here

[quartz pebble]

Surely

[rapid knot]

Bound by his own word

[minor garnet]

If we grt triple fused monkeys can the hitmons also triple fuse?

[vast jay]

Probably

[slate otter]

[carmine falcon]

if we got the monkeys

[cedar quest]

So humbe that you don't want to say that ||you have the most points||

[carmine falcon]

would we get simipark?

[slate otter]

We need to get the monkeys in!

[minor garnet]

Nah

[signal nexus]

counterproposal: we just get the triple fuse and not the individual monkeys

[rapid knot]

You could make simipark fusion sprites with pikachu and elekid and stuff

[quartz pebble]

Yeah frog wins and gets to choose what pokemon to add

[jagged hinge]

||Ruby is winning???||

[minor garnet]

I am actually not participating in community events anymore if the fuckass monkeys win

[carmine falcon]

ok but simipark is uhh totally real though

[cedar quest]

'tis true, Frog has all the points

[quartz pebble]

It's a sidequest to unfuse them because they like being all together

[vast jay]

Muhahahahh I magically get a thousand points despite not posting a single sprite

[minor garnet]

I have 1001

[cedar quest]

Because Frog has the bot that counted all the points, and therefore

[vast jay]

And there's nothing you can do about it 😈

[edgy skiff]

I think I would still have more points than you in that case

[cedar quest]

Literally has all the points

[signal nexus]

you're the one who implements them in-game, and so gets everyone's points

[slate otter]

Nah just add a secret way of getting points by being a cheerleader and give me 10k points

[carmine falcon]

I can uhh

ask you politely to add simipark

[vast jay]

Yep, you get it

[quartz pebble]

Guys frog has too much power stop playing the game and leaves the server before he takes everything

[carmine falcon]

also major mistake no simispark

simipark

big difference

[minor garnet]

I am picking Drampa

[rapid knot]

You can make Simipark with Torterra

[signal nexus]

in addition to the triple monkey we get triple dragon

[minor garnet]

Also Emerald if you guys win I trust you to vote Pangoro

[quartz pebble]

Okay I am actually leaving now, I will apply for unown before I leave though because I remembered

[minor garnet]

And in addition to that we get the alomamola/Luvdisx/Bruxish fusion

[eager zinc]

I'm voting a 3 on watchog and 0 on everyone else

[minor garnet]

Alright

[signal nexus]

nah, alomomola is being added as luvdisc's evo

maybe basculin

[tired jay]

thats how we get simispark

[minor garnet]

Then stunfisk

[eager zinc]

pangoro is legitimately cool though, I would prolly vote a 3 for da panda

[signal nexus]

if we add a bear, i'd want it to be pangoro over beartic

[edgy skiff]

Honestly it's just nice talking to Frog whenever they're in the chat

[eager zinc]

I think both bears are cool, there's some cool fusion potential for beartic too

I legitimately think if emerald wins, I just won't vote, I have no preference for what mon gets into the game

[minor garnet]

Angry panda has a lot of pokemon cards with the dawgs in your face

[signal nexus]

yes, but that means i'd have to sprite snot

[edgy skiff]

I'd love to suggest a Sinnoh vote and a Unova vote that could happen.. I dunno, whenever is convenient for Frog
Just so we can get more representation for those gens in the game

[eager zinc]

I've made a blacephalon lollipop lad with cubchoo, the lidl guy can be cute I think

I desperately need to redo the evo sprite though

[cedar quest]

That's kinda how I feel this time around - most of the non-legends I want are already here and in

[mighty stump]

Aww I really wanted this to work like Minior

[signal nexus]

🤔 actually, i think if there's a pokemon i could get rid of, i'd reduce all four oricorios to one
allow for some creativity a la rotom appliances

[minor garnet]

Its 2

But thats still more than most cards

[mighty stump]

Pretty please can we have it work like minior (the multiple colors tied to one mon I mean)

[sly shuttle]

I also have a mon suggestion for Frog that I won’t make until post-Hoenn release

[cedar quest]

god I remember back when slots were an issue

I hated Oriciorio as 4

Now? It don't matter and it's a lot cooler tbh

[eager zinc]

gastrodon being one slot for example gives opportunity for different nudibranch designs, but I'm okay with it being split too both forms are cool

[signal nexus]

you could have potential for many different types of dances rather than having to adhere to the established four dance choices

[minor garnet]

Wouldnt it get plusle minun syndrome

[eager zinc]

but that can be said for any pokemon, I love creative liberties

[signal nexus]

yeah, that's why i'd prefer single slot for gastrodon 😔

[mighty stump]

Oricorio makes sense for different slots cause they have different typings and moves, gastrodon has none of that each slug is just the same even if the color is different... Like minior

[minor garnet]

I joined sapphire for comfey and Drampa

[eager zinc]

plusle and minun fusions don't have to look the same, it's just easier to have their designs be similar and that's okay!

[signal nexus]

color and a smidge of shape

[minor garnet]

My case was hopeless from the start

[eager zinc]

based picks though

I would've joined ruby for dedenne, but I'm pretty sure the goat gang would've slaughtered me

goat is cool though I like goat

[signal nexus]

man, i want flower crown comfey heads to not be alts but i imagine they'd end up so
a la plushie alts for stufful

[edgy skiff]

I joined Sapphire because at first it had the least amount of pokemon I wanted and I didn't plan on taking the event that seriously (actually not joking)

[minor garnet]

Hey @grok how do I hack computers and make everyone vot drampa

[mighty stump]

Please don't let gastrodon and shellos fall into body mon difference hell with plusle and minun

They don't even have different stats or anything

[minor garnet]

Cant forget silcoon cascoon

[signal nexus]

Frog was just here confirming they'd be separate

[mighty stump]

They haven't been put in yet though

[minor garnet]

Also why would be need woobat? We already have it

[mighty stump]

There's time to change

[edgy skiff]

Silcoon and Cascoon have a clear difference that should never be removed in fusions

[signal nexus]

#event-general message

[mighty stump]

They have different designs sure but it's still just an aesthetic difference, I thought the reason the other mons were always made different was because you needed to know which one it was for battling because of different stats or moves

[minor garnet]

We already have woobat

[idle forge]

Ah dang it, now I gotta figure out how to do 2 gastrodons and shellos

[signal nexus]

we already have frosmoth, too
https://www.fusiondex.org/429.49/

[mighty stump]

Minun and plusle have slightly different stats and abilities even, gastrodon doesn't

[idle forge]

Ok but what bout Snom

[edgy skiff]

Two shellos forms just in time for the next Fusion Day for me to sprite 150 of

[minor garnet]

Also when is the perfect cell relicanth self fusion

[signal nexus]

you have the opportunity

[idle forge]

Huh

[minor garnet]

Nah

I am making an actual woobat for woobat

And I am keeping it there if it gets added

[edgy skiff]

Honestly if the conditions ever align again for an event I low-key might do the crazy spriting again

[minor garnet]

Until its reported

[broken robin]

1 year recharge timer

[idle forge]

Will you work for a good cause

[cedar quest]

I will never allow the conditions for that ever again, if it's points there will be a cap

Never

Again.

Got it?

[edgy skiff]

I will reach that cap then (thank you)

[idle forge]

Kip will reach that cap in a week my guy

[minor garnet]

35 people have the most points

Uh 35 new pokemon will be added!

[eager zinc]

I mean contests would increase that minimum sprite cap I would think

winning them anyway

[signal nexus]

they just wouldn't be counted as gallery post points

[edgy skiff]

-# I am so sorry by the way

[idle forge]

Also, hey gordo, out of curiosity, what happened with the play through

[cedar quest]

? It was for next Friday

[idle forge]

Oh, I see

I didn’t know

[minor garnet]

I heard gordo died and his account got taken over by an AI

[edgy skiff]

I guess if anything it's a good thing these issues with the event structure were found now rather than later
Now we can just be funny and joke about how silly it was

[minor garnet]

So anyways who will you be adding to the game?

[eager zinc]

I enjoyed the event for the most part, I just got tired by the end of it, I am a sprite occasionally person rather than a sprite regularly person

[minor garnet]

I would hate to be that person

Lots of people would hate you if you make a weird choice

[cedar quest]

I mean, they've been pretty vocal on what they want if they are the person with the most points

[signal nexus]

they're gonna add in basculin

[minor garnet]

Ah basculin

[eager zinc]

people are gonna hate regardless of what gets picked, just pick what you want at the end of the day

[mystic mauve]

why hate
we should be happy about all new additions regardless

[signal nexus]

the masculine bass

[edgy skiff]

Yeah this is why I've just been so dead set in what I want to add

[mighty stump]

I love gastrodon but lowkey I am now afraid of it being added as a slot for each form, that does not sound like a good time for anyone

[minor garnet]

I wouldve just added smt nobody wanted just to spite everyone

Gumshoosh specifically

Not yungoos

[mystic mauve]

all that hard work just for spite? you do you

[signal nexus]

ye
i'd much rather you add in what you want, no matter how weird it is
-# especially if it's weird
didn't pyukumuku get in because one guy wanted it?

[edgy skiff]

There is nothing nobody wants

[minor garnet]

Just gumshoos

[mighty stump]

Also everyone be nice about what gets added, being dissapointed is okay just don't harass people or be hateful

[minor garnet]

I will be upset with basculin, but whatever not like I am spriting it

[mystic mauve]

mudkipster is always safe with team sapphire

[signal nexus]

i wouldn't hate gumshoos if we can ensure people would go the detective route with it and avoid rule8 violations

[edgy skiff]

Exactly why I want to add Woobat and Swoobat. My other choice was Lumineon but that's more to see other people sprite it. I'd love something that I would love to sprite, so Swoobat

[minor garnet]

You really think that?

[eager zinc]

someone's gotta do the magikarp mysteries former boss and it's a gumshoos fusion

I can picture it now

[minor garnet]

You REALLY think that?

[mystic mauve]

what's with gumshoos and rule 8

[minor garnet]

President of usa

[mighty stump]

I was afraid of gumshoos but we do have a rule against that will lead to people getting kicked out if they can't behave. Also real three likes the mon and will make us cool sprites probably.

[edgy skiff]

If I actually end up winning I am very curious if I'll get DMs from random white names trying to sway my opinion :3c

[signal nexus]

it might not be as painful as feared, but i am also dreading it now 😔

[mystic mauve]

..

[mighty stump]

Can we pivot to the eel

[minor garnet]

Fluffy grandpa dragon?

[signal nexus]

Tr*mp references

[eager zinc]

man speaking of I gotta finish the winner's reward for the mini mystery

[mystic mauve]

that just sounds like itll just get shot down day 1 and then everyone will know

[mighty stump]

Fluffy grandpa dragon would be cute, and then people can sprite it doing arson to bullies :D

[eager zinc]

I've been procrastinating it

[signal nexus]

yeah, but people keep trying to violate rule2 despite the frequen ings, so it'll be annoying

[minor garnet]

Mudkipster if you win can I sway you into voting drampa?

Like not your guaranteed add

But your vote

(If sapphire wins)

[edgy skiff]

No comment

[minor garnet]

I take that as a yes

[edgy skiff]

I mean it depends on how the vote system will work

[mighty stump]

Wait compromise, shellos and gastrodon two slot for head, one slot for body. How would you code that Idk but I feel like that'd be a good middle ground.

[minor garnet]

Its water/ground tho

[eager zinc]

if it's like the other votes, each mon will get a 0 to 3 point vote for each mon provided

[mighty stump]

Mudkipster is adding the bat and you are going to like it

[minor garnet]

I wont

[edgy skiff]

How would you keep track of what you should get when unfusing Gastrodon body fusion

[minor garnet]

Stupid wooper head name stealer

[jagged hinge]

Can we add vikavolt as a third line I think that would be cool

[minor garnet]

Woo, is for wooper not some lame ass bat

[signal nexus]

granted, i also don't think being rule2 bait should be enough to discourage an addition, but just being reminded of rule8 will be... upsetting

[mighty stump]

Some game data in the background? It knows what pokemon were put into the fusion in the first place no?

[edgy skiff]

Fair

[signal nexus]

i heartily congratulate the one other guy who entered
as theirs is intelligible from a glance and i never got around to writing up the whole-ass lore around my choice

[eager zinc]

I headcannoned lore for both as I got lore for neither

[signal nexus]

sounds like it'll ruin the HA swap exploit

[mighty stump]

The what

[signal nexus]

lemme see

[minor garnet]

Nobody plays the game

[signal nexus]

is it pinned in #general ?

[tired jay]

?tag hatranafer

[urban knot]

No tag hatranafer found.

[eager zinc]

besides, there's a whole surprise with the event winner so it may not be over for you

[urban knot]

How to transfer Hidden Ability from one Pokémon to another

This can ONLY be done with Pokémon caught naturally with their hidden ability, not with a hidden ability ball. Easiest method would be going to Secret Forest which is always a Hidden Ability area, as it doesn't matter which Pokémon you get with a hidden ability. It only matters that it naturally had that HA.

NOTE: Fusions encountered in the wild with a HA will lose that ability when they are unfused. Because of this, wild fusions will not work this.

Take mon with HA and fuse it with the mon you want a HA on, and make sure the mon that currently has the HA is the body

Choose the HA, then use a reverser to reverse the fusion, then unfuse the fusion. The other pokemon should now have its HA!

NOTE: Sometimes stats will be temporarily messed up, but will fix upon leveling or fusing

On the new HA mon, you'll actually get access to the move relearner moves of the moves the other pokemon knew when it was captured in addition to the regular moves it can relearn.

[signal nexus]

oh, FireSword got there first 😅

[mighty stump]

I played the game and beat a gym until I learned that I could make sprites to use in the game and then never got back to the game ajzhsnisks

[tired jay]

Hate typing on mobile sometimes

[minor garnet]

I hate

But not on Grinnade

[edgy skiff]

ACTUALLY HOW MY LAST PLAYTHROUGH ENDED

[minor garnet]

That should be a banner lowkay

[signal nexus]

what if i throw the Lore™ into the MM thread right now

[minor garnet]

||It will prolly look like this

End||

[signal nexus]

you can also do the same to swap shininess

[eager zinc]

yeah I'd be down, only two people submitted anyway

[signal nexus]

🙋 do i have enough time to take a nap first?

[eager zinc]

I would say no sleeping on the job, but we're all jobless until we get a case so

[signal nexus]

lemme see how far i got

[mighty stump]

Which form of shellos would this fusion even be the body mons are so fucked

[eager zinc]

east

[tired jay]

actually that doesn't work now

[mighty stump]

And the spikes on the back?

[minor garnet]

Kanye West

[tired jay]

or if it does its very rare to work

[eager zinc]

east

[mighty stump]

They're taken from west but alright

[eager zinc]

I know they are

east anyway

less complicated if you don't think about it

[mighty stump]

Honestly probably most of mine would slightly lean east for shellos because I don't like west's circle of tubes on its head as much

The circle of tubes can be cute though

Like a sea anenome

Also this dex entry is another reason why I really don't want them to be different slots. A lot of the fun with shellos is really playing with how its shapes would change and maybe have aspects from both or entirely new ones.

[eager zinc]

I did not know that, that's a cool dex entry

[mighty stump]

Ironically pokemon never gave us regional forms of shellos, they made this cool entry that makes sense with the vibrant almost fantastical diversity of real life sea slugs and then just forgot I guess.

The dex entry about it having colors and shapes that differ from region to region appears to have persisted until Alola, so I'm officially blaming everyone who worked on Alola for not keeping the entry and seemingly retconning it to just two forms globally. Give sea slugs back their super cool diversity even if we never got to see the other forms you cowards, I will make the new shellos forms for you for free, I will do it. (being overdramatic) (joking) (I'm just passionate about slugs)

Man all Shellos and Gastrodon self fusion main sprites are going to be screwed with two slots

Wrong wording

I mean East Sea fused on West Sea

Self fusions would be fine with two slots, just the different forms fused with eachother would not go great

Sorry I keep talking about this, I can stop if asked, I just do not think it's a good idea and want to voice why

[signal nexus]

and now
i can nap 😴

[mighty stump]

Have a good eep

[broken robin]

The forbidden shellos north/south

[mighty stump]

Far beyond that! You could have forms for what prey pokemon or plants they eat, artic, tropical, and temperate forms, deep sea or shallows! Pokemon barely scraped the surface of all the wonders and diversity in nudibranches.

You could make an entire region from just sea slugs, and I am being dead serious.

[broken robin]

My fav thing about living in Southern California was the giant sea hares you could find in the tide pools

Actually I have a picture one sec lol

[mighty stump]

Awwww

[broken robin]

Holding it like a cat

[mighty stump]

Heehee one big goopy cat

[broken robin]

I knew someone who was doing a study on the diet of sea hares to see if they would eat invasive algae

… they wouldn’t

[mighty stump]

We needed you sea hares!

Probably why it's so invasive then though

Must not taste good

[mighty stump]

Curious how others feel on this

[slate otter]

Wdum by slots like their own set of fusions?

[broken robin]

yes

[mighty stump]

Yeah

Like how each form of castform has its own fusion sprites

[slate otter]

Nah they should all have one since their only cosmetic differences

[topaz quest]

Each should just do an alt using the other pallets

[subtle moss]

that's the logical solution

[dense jackal]

So, to ask a very Google'able question- are there no differences at all between gastrodon/shellos mechanically?
(Stats, move pool, etc?)

[mighty stump]

There are no mechanical differences

[dense jackal]

Easy answer then, should be the same IF mon

[cedar quest]

oh but it's a lot funnier if it's not

Not for any meaningful reason, just rather that it makes Gastrodon even more generic because there's 2 of them

[dense jackal]

Meanwhile the aegislash fans are fuming

[broken robin]

[signal nexus]

the new RPG is starting up soon, i believe

[urban siren]

team same slot here
we can make form mixes for heads and we don't need to sacrifice the design to make the forms recognizable for bodies

if both forms share a slot

[mighty stump]

The bodies especially I'm worried about with them being separated

[cedar quest]

I still think you're getting a bit ahead of yourselves thoug

Still gotta win

But I do feel like you're right, could always go for somethin' else

[mighty stump]

I know but if we do win I want this figured out beforehand

Unless eels win then we don't have to worry about it again for a while jsuzjajsakoa

[cedar quest]

Eels? You mean the Tynamo line?

[mighty stump]

Or another team of course

[cedar quest]

First I'm hearing of them being a contender

[mighty stump]

Yeah

[signal nexus]

what other eels are there?
tbh

[signal nexus]

nah, they've got a good push

[cedar quest]

I thought it was Lumineon after Gastro, so I got confused

[mighty stump]

Eelektross and Gastrodon are the top contenders for Sapphire

[tidal panther]

there's like two lumineon fans that have been vocal

[cedar quest]

ah

See I wouldn't know since I'm a Ruby

[signal nexus]

that was Sapphire's top spriter's second option
iirc

[cedar quest]

But I've been dissecting the lists as well

[mighty stump]

Lumineon is really cool but I do think it doesn't have many supporters

[cedar quest]

Trying to think of what I'd want if I were in your shoes

[mighty stump]

Well as many

[urban siren]

lumineon is in my want list

[mighty stump]

I do really like Lumineon

[slate otter]

Hey Gordie wanna join us in vc

[cedar quest]

work in the mornin'

[slate otter]

Ah

Oke

[signal nexus]

i have my propagandas

[urban siren]

pidove mentioned

[slate otter]

Not even gonna mention the monkeys

[mighty stump]

Pidove is a cutie

I love pigeons

[slate otter]

And pigeons love you too
-a pigeon

[mighty stump]

The unova ones

[slate otter]

Thats a single one Im talking about multiple

[mighty stump]

To be fair burmy isn't on the lists either, so neither multiteam pokemon are on there

[slate otter]

That's a gorilla not a monkey

[signal nexus]

i only choose a representative one beyond my five Ruby candidates

so both are implicitly included

[tired jay]

It's simisears cousin

[edgy skiff]

I wish. Lumineon is my pick (and only mine )

[cedar quest]

Ahhh

[edgy skiff]

I wish we could get Lumineon tbh

[cedar quest]

I won't lie
That makes a lot more sense

Because like

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-finneon-lumineon-picmix-water-type-gif-7501485262839111207

[edgy skiff]

Lumineon has no chance otherwise

[cedar quest]

Gastro I can atleast kinda get??????????

But Lumineon as a main contender in the vote??

Nah, you're pulling my leg

[mighty stump]

I think what we're learning is that Gordo doesn't get the sea creatures aoifnioanfioan

[cedar quest]

I sprite tons of Qwilfishes

[cedar quest]

I do get sea creatures

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/binacle-pokemon-gen-vi-gen-6-barnacles-gif-9978770222221941028

[cedar quest]

Like I've been vouching for Binacle

I get the sea creatures

But not the creatures that don't do much

[mighty stump]

Oh okay, I retract my statement. Maybe you just don't get our sea creatures.

[edgy skiff]

Lumineon could be so good

[tidal panther]

lumineon and finneon are a fantastic head but i can see them being kinda boring bodies

[mighty stump]

Not sure what you mean by not do much

[cedar quest]

Compared to the options y'all got - Shellos head and Lumineon bodies are like

Really

really

middling

[mighty stump]

I feel like their huge butterfly fins would be cool

GamR do me a favor and convince frog to also add Lumineon

You seem to think it's boring afnuioeanfnai

[cedar quest]

Just because I think something is boring

Doesn't mean I don't like it

And I didn't say boring

I said middling

Like

Some people could make it stand out

But for the other 95%

It'd be

Eh

y'know?

[mighty stump]

If people aren't good at spriting the slugs then they can just not sprite them?

[cedar quest]

That has not stopped people before.

Trust me

We have rushes.

And what do you think would be the best way to make sure

[mighty stump]

There's sprites a whole bunch of people will be good or not good at

[cedar quest]

That the new mon

Has upcoming sprites?

[mighty stump]

...Are we getting a secret rush?

[cedar quest]

IDK yet

Depends on what we get

And what I can think of

But you get my point right?

Regardles of what team wins

And what we get

[mighty stump]

Not really to be honest

Just because a pokemon can be difficult or not have cool ideas for some people to sprite doesn't mean it shouldn't get in at all

And clearly a lot of Sapphire sees huge potential in this mon

[signal nexus]

yeah, remember the jangmo-o rush last year

[cedar quest]

We did a Contest for Jangmo-o

Because a rush for those

Would only have ended badly

Where as possibly Gastro rush

Could work

IDK yet

Because IDK even know wins yet

[mighty stump]

I ask please no just because I'm burnt out, I want rest

[cedar quest]

Like I've got rough ideas for stuff in the top 25

Based off of what I remember when placing 'em in teams

But for the rest atm?

It

It's lookin' like I can go with a rush, because that'd work

[signal nexus]

s/woobat rush, then?

[slate otter]

If the elemental monkeys get in id be down to do a monkey only run on stream for the server once they're implemented sometime

[mighty stump]

But for example I find it super fun to make concepts for shellos/gastrodon, but I wouldn't be able to come up with an idea for eelektross's line just because it's not a design that excites me personally. Eelektross definitely has potential a ton I'm sure, especially with its glowy lights but it's not something I can easily see.

The true potential of a pokemon is only going to be seen by those excited by it in the first place.

[edgy skiff]

I. Personally wouldn't really want a Swoobat rush.
Maybe a Woobat rush but I don't want to completely sprite them immediately

Maybe a year from now

But not immediately

[mighty stump]

Yeah I don't want the new pokemon to be rushed in immediately

[signal nexus]

sigilyph rush

[edgy skiff]

This

[cedar quest]

We'll see how it goes IDK yet

[edgy skiff]

I guess just a rush of my pokemon (if I win) kinda goes against me picking a pokemon I want to sprite to Pokefan

That'd be a helluva time limit

[mighty stump]

Contests I think work better cause we're just giving them a push to have some sprites to start with

[edgy skiff]

A contest would be cool
A collab contest where I could collab with NTM :3c

[signal nexus]

what would be the character?

[edgy skiff]

Machamp
Fuzzy guy

Maybe he owns a noodle shop for no discernable reason

[signal nexus]

yeye, but what character?
like how magcargo/machamp is a train conductor
https://www.fusiondex.org/sprite/pif/219.68a/

[signal nexus]

blind noodler

[cedar quest]

We just did Food Fight, next collab ain't for a while.

[edgy skiff]

Well Swoobat HAS eyes

[mighty stump]

I think Woobat also has eyes just hidden?

[cedar quest]

Yeah it do

[signal nexus]

clearly i meant woobat and didn't get confused

[edgy skiff]

I just think a Swoobat/Machamp could be a real happy guy

[signal nexus]

but yeah, we got kangaskhan berserker, scyther priest, aipom jester, volbeat biker, lycanroc raver
among a gazillion others

[edgy skiff]

My Clamperl didn't really have a "character" I don't think

At least it wasn't explicitly stated

[signal nexus]

bibarel lumberjack and mushroom forager, carvanha pirate, huntail tiktokker, gliscor given a poisoned apple...

[edgy skiff]

Wait if huntail is TikTok then is Gorebyss...

[idle forge]

Aaaaaaa, ntm sprites

[signal nexus]

dis guy? he's protecting his pearl, hiding away

[signal nexus]

-# ||onlyfans?||
not sprited yet

[edgy skiff]

It's not really a "character" like you've been describing

[signal nexus]

if you say so

[formal river]

The first 3 actually form part of the tarot arcana series

[cedar quest]

oh shit that's right

Trainer Card

oops

tomorrow.

[formal river]

Bruh

[signal nexus]

yeah! i found some of them when i'd heard they'd done a Tarot series
aegislash/gardevoir is Justice, breloom/machoke is The Hermit, i want to say bisharp/machoke is The Hierophant?

[formal river]

Nope the arcana series is puré machoke gardevoir isnt one

I remember milotic and empoleon being in there

[idle forge]

Anaway, since we’re posting ntm sprites, here’s one more

[signal nexus]

tiktokker milotic and ah. empoleon is The Emperor, natch

absol/machoke is Judgement, then

[sly shuttle]

What’s with the NTM spam?

[signal nexus]

i wanted to know what character MudKipster was going to make with Swoobat/Machamp
and used examples

[idle forge]

Idk, but here’s another

Neither of the 2 sprites of posted were/are being made in association with ntm

[signal nexus]

but you're right we should go to #fusions

[limpid sphinx]

looks like ppl get bored fast on ev gen and start a random sweep everyday

XD

[formal river]

Couldnt find the image with all but tarot but i found the tortutle video on it https://youtu.be/RQLZFDegmOQ?si=T1KIGTFITseLIi4o

And the one on my rotoms https://youtu.be/v9uRQ_tnzIo?si=alTKjYaK_Uk8_-zQ

[mighty stump]

To assuage Gordo's fears Gastrodon and Shellos have super cute pink and blue palettes and would make awesome head fusions with their sea slug frills and little rhinophores. Gordo may not see the potential behind these mons but a big chunk of Sapphire loves this mon and those are spriters! Shellos and Gastrodon are S Tier pokemon for me. :3

Body mons are so screwed though if they do indeed stay as separate slots but shhhhhh...

[hushed stream]

they have more body differences than plusle and minun

[tidal panther]

those two are mechanically different though

[mighty stump]

Shellos isn't as screwed because the difference on the head is very obvious though it also means you can't do anything too weird to it or else it'll no longer be clear enough

But Gastrodon is a lot more subtle

[hushed stream]

yeah I don't mind if they're split into 2 (because the visual differences are enough) or if they're kept the same (because the mechanics are the same). if we get anything eith them I'm happy

[mighty stump]

That's fair, and having the slugs at all will be fun I just worry about their potential being stunted and causing such a head ache as two slots

[hushed stream]

no need to worry.

[mighty stump]

I know we've dealt with minun/plusle and cascoon/silcoon which are arguably way worse to differentiate as bodies but I don't want our slugs to have this cursed fate when they have no mechanical need for the difference

The time shellos gets added and aegislash gets added should've been switched (if shellos does get added that is)

Okay thinking it over Shellos definitely isn't screwed, still feel bad about Gastrodon...

I'm glad I knew Frog wanted to put them in as 2 slots ahead of time, if I found that out while they got revealed as the mon that got voted in I would've been heartbroken snzhjsjsizkaoa

Gives me time to process and accept

[mighty stump]

Also it may get weird if they're one slot seeing as the west and east forms are always found in different locations...

[cyan gull]

Weast

[gaunt lava]

We didn't get Lycanroc Dusk, theres a low chance we're getting 2 gastrodons

[merry mica]

is there definitely going to be a duskull halloween rush
should i start making a chart

[signal nexus]

#event-general message

[lament matrix]

Cuz it basically was lycan day with better ability

[gaunt lava]

Lycanroc Dusk crying in a corner

[near horizon]

you know why my kingler card isn't in the drive even tho i know i submitted it ?

[cedar quest]

I'll double check, but I think you just didn't submit it maybe??

Will go through the version history

[near horizon]

please 🙏

[cedar quest]

I went through, and the last thing you had sumbitted was the Rocket Card

[near horizon]

yes, i know but didn't i submit the kingler card too ?

[cedar quest]

You submitted the Numel and Camerupt at the same time

[slate otter]

How could U

[cedar quest]

But never the Kingler

Only the Krabby.

[slate otter]

Smh guys

[near horizon]

damn

sadge

[slate otter]

You need to make this right to him

[near horizon]

no bonus point for ruby then

;(

[slate otter]

;(

[slender thunder]

But

Everyone can post 1 extra alt

So that is perfect for it

[tame egret]

yeah but the bodies are pretty different

[mystic mauve]

more different than plusle and minun

[mighty stump]

I like how you showed a picture of gastrodon, saying the bodies are really different even thiugh that is exactly what I was stressing about yesterday XD

[signal nexus]

we do have a vote up here
only ~20 have voted in a server of more than 500k, though
#event-general message

[tame egret]

they're definitely a little too similar to the point where it's a little worrying but different enough where i say it makes sense to be different pokemon

especially when they have features that are different that would be on a pokemon when it's the head

[mighty stump]

That's fair, it just feels a little better rolled in one package because that doesn't prevent you from using the pink or blue one, just makes it so they share the same slot and some fusions can then have more wiggle room without becoming alt territory

[tame egret]

i guess, but then it becomes awkward since not everyone will want to make alts especially since the features are different so each form might not get a ton of representation

also it'd be weird if you fused a west sea gastrodon with another pokemon but it had the east sea palette and features

[mighty stump]

Yeah I see that. I'm just still worried about them having problems as the body mon. Shellos should be okay, but Gastrodon has a lot less differences between their forms.

[tulip tusk]

could have a script for recoloring but i think at that point, it'd be better to have spriters make those changes

[signal nexus]

i did notice several people drop their support for gastrodon's addition once it was revealed they'd be split

[tulip tusk]

I don't mind it being split but like

idk how to work with that, unlike plusle and minun, they don't have a gimmick about being opposites or anything

[mighty stump]

I don't really blame them considering we've already had to deal with minun/plusle and cascoon/silcoon

It makes it feel like one pokemon line has essentially double the work of normal for not much pay off

[tulip tusk]

im a plusle minun split defender but gastrodon feels like a different beast

[tame egret]

i mean, gastrodon does have more differences than plusle/minun so idk

[tulip tusk]

artistically id like for a mon to have multiple designs and pallets but the procrastinator in me would rather not

[tame egret]

it's obviously different since gastrodon is one species

but still

[tulip tusk]

i was more so saying about their thematic gimmicks rather than designwise

[tame egret]

fair enough

[mighty stump]

Plusle minun had mechanical needs to be different, Gastrodon aside from one being caught on the west and one being caught on the east not really

Both Gastrodon's are exactly the same aside from location caught

[tame egret]

i still feel like if they aren't split it could be really unintuitive for players since the form won't necessarily correlate to what their fusion will look like

[mighty stump]

That's fair

I should poll nonspriters too on whether they want two different slots for gastrodon

[tame egret]

the solution is just not picking gastrodon i guess

[signal nexus]

yeah, but a lot of spriters seemed stoked to play around with them since nudibranchs are so diverse
if East and West are split, that immediately reduces possible creativity for the sake of recognizability

[tame egret]

yeah that's also true

[signal nexus]

some of the first images i get when i search

[mighty stump]

Nudibranches are so pretty

[tame egret]

honestly i'm really not sure what the best solution is

since we can't really compromise at all

[signal nexus]

also we could always get jang'd

[tame egret]

get what?

[mighty stump]

We could always get Janga-mo-ed XD

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/jangmo-o-pokemon-cute-roar-gif-13009867079433238167

[tame egret]

i don't get it

[mighty stump]

Oh hey frog

[signal nexus]

the one with the most hype in the server doesn't win

[tame egret]

ah i see

[vast jay]

Yeah that's the main thing for me. Gastrodon's whole gimmick is that it looks different depending on where it was caught. It would feel a bit lame to rob it if that and just have it essentially be random depending on whatever the spriter who sprited it felt like doing

[tame egret]

i guess we could have it split but then also be a little less strict on recognisability to still give spriters freedom for creativity?

[mighty stump]

Being strict on recognizability for heads is fine, it's just bodies that worry me

[tame egret]

yeah

[vast jay]

Also you guys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves. We don't even know if Gastrodon is even going to be part of the vote yet

[tame egret]

heads is easy since the palettes are completely different but with bodies all you have are the ridges and the head thingies and being forced to have those does kind of restrict what you can do

[tame egret]

thinking ahead

[mighty stump]

I wanted to figure that out before it would get in, so if it does it isn't chaos

[cedar quest]

That's what I've been saying, thinkin' you just have already won

[signal nexus]

yeah, maybe a body that looks like the left for East Sea and a body that looks like the right for West?
flowy vs spiky?

[mighty stump]

I don't think that! I just see a potential problem and want to prepare XD

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/jangmo-o-pokemon-cute-roar-gif-13009867079433238167

[tidal panther]

do we have an ETA on any contest results

[signal nexus]

i think the ETA is "if you keep asking it gets delayed further"

[sly shuttle]

Less than month

[tame egret]

but the trouble is the gastrodons are the same in general body shape

[cedar quest]

Welp, Trainer Card is technically ready - but since I'm not the owner of that sheet, I can't do the stuff needed to close it

[tidal panther]

i'm not asking for the final result, i just want any of the contests to get announced

and it's soon

[mighty stump]

Yeah there really isn't much to differntiate them when you strip them of their colors and start putting other pokemon features on them

[tame egret]

does beach day look like it'll be announced this year

[signal nexus]

which is why i was agreeing with being less strict for bodies and instead using spriter shorthand
like how milk and cheese are used in miltank sprites, evo stones for the different eeveelutions, etc

[cedar quest]

oh I'm only joking on that

I don't actually delay the results

Here's the update:

Trainer Card is technically ready - but since I'm not the owner of that sheet, I can't do the stuff needed to close it

Speed Spriter 2 NA & EU are almost done
Beach Day is also almost done, but still has a sizable amount left.
Food Fight is making solid progress

PC Box and Fan Art have not been made yet

[vast jay]

Who's the owner of the sheet?

[cedar quest]

That one Pory made

Althought I could try and make a copy???

And then release that sheet???

Will try in a bit

[vast jay]

Probably yeah

Or just yell at @cyan gull

[limpid sphinx]

let pory in peace smh smh

[limpid sphinx]

jokes aside i think this can works

[cedar quest]

Alright am back

[mighty stump]

Pory can never rest

[cedar quest]

Made a quick snack

Will test it out

[mighty stump]

Yay snack

[slate otter]

Not even on his birthday is he allowed to to rest

The sheet did work, am currently eating - then will make podium

are they tasty?

What does a podium taste like

[slate otter]

Wut U eatn

[limpid sphinx]

noooo stop eating food fight entries

[cedar quest]

cereal :)

[slate otter]

Crunchy

[signal nexus]

quick! who entered a cereal-themed Food Fight entry?

[slate otter]

😋

[signal nexus]

could be oatmeal

[cedar quest]

I'm talkin' about Trainer Card results

[slate otter]

Bad

[cedar quest]

Food Fight still has a whiles to go

[tame egret]

is oatmeal cereal? or is it its own thing?

[mighty stump]

You're eating trainer cards?

[cedar quest]

uguguguhguhhhhhhughhhh

[slate otter]

Now he's gargling them as well

[cedar quest]

[signal nexus]

yeah?
is it not the platonic ideal of cereal?

or am i weird

[tame egret]

[mighty stump]

I thought oatmeal was different but related

Like cousins

[cedar quest]

I like me some barley

[signal nexus]

like when someone says "cereal", you think a bowl of hot mush

[tame egret]

no?

[cedar quest]

oh no, I'm American

So I got Lucky Charms :)

I get what you mean though

[mighty stump]

No? My first thought is a bowl of cold milk and blank cereal product

[mighty stump]

Oh is this regional

[signal nexus]

huh

[cedar quest]

Yeah for sure a regional thing I think

where's my regional forms of cereal

[quartz pebble]

Cheerios and rice crispy shapes I got the Galar specialty

[cedar quest]

Who needs regional forms of Pokemon

Gimme the cereal

[mighty stump]

Regional cereal!!!

I'm gonna fight charizard with oatmeal

[quartz pebble]

Right here galars got the best stuff on offer

[tame egret]

yeah we have crunchy nut cornflakes

[signal nexus]

like, this is what "cereal" means to me, and all the breakfast boxes are "cold cereal"
🤔 huh. guess the general term is "porridge", which sounds like i'm attending a mid-century british boarding school

[signal nexus]

🤔 Normal/Grass type
with Fire/Grass for porridge regional

🤔 or maybe Water/Grass because it's more liquid?

[quartz pebble]

I can't confirm this Galar myth can't lie, I've never had oatmeal so idk

Can't be much different from rice pudding though which i do kinda like

I imagine porridge as just hot cereal

[signal nexus]

apparently, if you thin it down, it becomes "gruel"
which sounds like I'm a turn-of-the-century british orphan

[quartz pebble]

Yeah gruel doesn't seem the most appetizing can't lie

I'm imagining the whole joke of cafeteria slop lmao

[signal nexus]

~~i prefer my cereal/porridge thicker and coated in sugar, so i don't think i've been eating gruel in my life ~~

[quartz pebble]

I think that's for the best

[tame egret]

i like porridge

but it's not the first thing i think of when i hear cereal

[broken robin]

oatmeal and porridge are synonymous to me

[signal nexus]

but are they synonymous with cereal?

[cloud solstice]

damn the points were close

[broken robin]

Not to me

jkGFHDFKGJFJL;L

[signal nexus]

man, i hope they don't split furfrou like gastrodon
knowing Frog's reasoning about gastrodon being location-based, that tells me furfrou's probably gonna be one slot, but 🤞 to be sure

[mighty stump]

We simply ban those who cannot adhere to the rules

[merry mica]

furfrou would suck if it was more than one slot

[signal nexus]

i've seen a lot of hype for crustle

[oblique heath]

nah it's not THAT big of a design change

[mighty stump]

Furfrou should 100% be one slot

There is no reason to make furfrou have multiple

[jade chasm]

salazzle seems a bit boring for body since its kind of just a lizard

furfrou just changes hair, and head can be new hair

[mighty stump]

Furfrou has no mechanics, no location, no nothing, and a furfrou can change to any other furfrou haircut at any time

[limpid sphinx]

can u show it tho?

[signal nexus]

yeah, i'm just wary

[carmine falcon]

I think the uh

vikavolt is the most popular choice

in emerald

[oblique heath]

team ruby, if we don't win (which i doubt) at least get archen or flabebe in the game

[icy jasper]

Any least popular picks?

[mighty stump]

If Furfrou wins and Frog tries to make it multiple slots we fight for the dog

[signal nexus]

archen has had a lot of hype, too

[mighty stump]

We fight for it having one slot

[minor garnet]

Yes, comfey

And drampa

[jade chasm]

i love car battery

[signal nexus]

but will the silent majority vote for adding in the Dragon

[mighty stump]

That does sound like something the silent majority would do yeah

[jade chasm]

bad!

[mighty stump]

I'm just hoping that people that didn't even chat with their teams don't notice the vote snsuajsjskisks

I posted it in #1281689585235267716

dont ping them, itll be funny

🤔 comfey... might run into klang-type pain.
like, it'd be hella cool to just coat 'mons in flowers
but might be hell to sprite all that

I mean I'd rather a pokemon get in from the teammates that helped to make the win happen

I heard much english speakers try to pronounce van gogh the way its supposed to

it sounded like a dying goose

[torpid bough]

[rapid knot]

HOHHhh

[minor garnet]

no its mostly the dutch G

[torpid bough]

Greninja/10

[rapid knot]

Idk man, I just say it like we were taught in school

If I were to pronounce it correctly, nobody around me would know who I meant

[minor garnet]

which is?

Van go

?

[rapid knot]

Gogh sounding like go

I notice you are a fellow sapphire
May I interest you in some propaganda

[minor garnet]

youre also supposed to pronounce the a differently in van aswell

My vote is settled on drampa

[carmine falcon]

[rapid knot]

Yeah, but the difference is indistinct enough around here that it will change by regional accent

[carmine falcon]

[rapid knot]

The badges are the anonymized judges' names
The 104/104 votes is there so judges don't accidentally skip one
The 11 given! is there so judges remember to pick a favorite

[minor garnet]

maybe

idk

I am dumb

[rapid knot]

I think that purple and gold wavy one is from Kalos or Galar?

[mighty stump]

Oh yeah I have to edit my gastrodon propaganda now that we know it's two slots

[minor garnet]

not galar

those are all solid pieces of a puzzle

[rapid knot]

Let's see if I have Drampa on here

Mm
No

I didn't add everyone I wanted because it was getting tedious

[minor garnet]

[tame egret]

Make an exception

[mighty stump]

Now it's like nothing ever happened

[torpid bough]

Ok I need to show mines from one year ago

If Discord let me post them

[mighty stump]

What the heck, Discord let us have propaganda >:(

[tame egret]

I should probably make a crustle poster

[quartz pebble]

I can't make posters but I'm rooting for wishiwashi

[mighty stump]

If you're rooting for them please put them back in the ocean they are not having a good time

[quartz pebble]

That's clearly the ocean

[mighty stump]

A puddle?

[quartz pebble]

It's a small patch of ocean

[mighty stump]

It's so shallow they can't swim anifjaeifnajfajif

[quartz pebble]

one time my friend dreamt i had a shiny one of these and it was named arson

[rapid knot]

ARSON

Arson is a recurring joke between my mother and I

Now I have to name a Zebstrika Arson

[quartz pebble]

I did do a run where I named all my pokemon after crimes, I forgot about arson though that would've made a good fire type

[mighty stump]

How could you forget about arson

Was a failing of mine looking back on it, I did enjoy tax evasion the poplio though

[tame egret]

In omega ruby I have like 8 minuns and they’re all named after crimes

[torpid bough]

And before crimes?

Before crimes they’re just chilling

Just a few more events to get results from and then the democratic vote begins

Hopefully we can vote on one Pokémon equally if it truly is just the winning team getting a Pokémon added and everyone votes

[signal nexus]

i heard only the winning team votes to avoid sabotage 🤔
but that was secondhand

[elder marlin]

Only winning team wins

Yes

I mean votes

[jade chasm]

sabotage in voting for monkey

[edgy skiff]

If everyone gets to vote can we all agree to favor Lumineon highly

If Ruby wins tho I’m really hoping y’all add Crustle and if Emerald wins I’m hoping for Vikavolt

Although I wouldn’t say no to Ruby voting Darmanitan

[mighty stump]

I like Lumineon, I'd put them highly
