event-general

[jagged hinge]

Wdym the monkeys in popular

[cedar quest]

That does not say the monkeys.

[edgy skiff]

No idea how this translates to how many pokemon each team would've had tho

[dusk scroll]

You included them in the screenshot

[edgy skiff]

Pansear/sage/pour are there tho

[jagged hinge]

Oh so it only refers to the top row in the image

[cedar quest]

oh oops

Bad screenshot

[cedar quest]

Earlygame Normal

[edgy skiff]

you know what I haven't done Sapphire any favors giving it both Normal and Water type in terms of beating the too many pokemon allegations

[dusk scroll]

Giving us Gumshoos was probably the biggest handicap we could get

[cedar quest]

Vanity ((Purrloin seems a bit loose here, but see that thing in the anime and how it acts and it makes sense))

Earlygame Bird

Single-Stage Fish

[edgy skiff]

I almost feel like Starly and Pikipek lines could've been swapped

[cedar quest]

2-Stage bugs ((Wasn't a 3rd 2stage bug in Gen 4 so we used Esca/Karra)

[edgy skiff]

But also Pikipek does make sense on Ruby

[cedar quest]

Toucannon Beak Blast is closer to ""fire"" asthetic

So it went Ruby

[edgy skiff]

Tropical makes sense for both Ruby and Emerald tbh

And water if you stretch it honestly

Pikipek should've been a universal vote

[cedar quest]

Gen 5 Psychics

Floral ((Loose theme, moreso just throwing Grass One-stages together w/ Comfey))

[astral niche]

I think with just water we get half of the other teams amount

[cedar quest]

Dragon

[tame egret]

i'm pretty sure sapphire still has a huge lead there

[cedar quest]

Single-Stage Normal

[astral niche]

Guys there is already a high chance that the results finalized

[cedar quest]

The fighting types

[edgy skiff]

Actually having calculated out Ruby and Sapphire so far, Sapphire only has 10 more than Ruby does

[lament matrix]

Yeah rip gogoat when you guys say its popular we are dead
See you in the last pif update

[cedar quest]

Like this was one of our first pairings and with what we knew from last time

[tame egret]

that's still a decent amount

[cedar quest]

Figured would be more discussed and one of the big ones

[dusk scroll]

I didn't realize Araquanid was so popular

[cedar quest]

Anyways

[edgy skiff]

Emerald ended up with 159 pokemon available

[astral niche]

I wish we had access to the vote results. I need to feed on these numbers

[edgy skiff]

Roughy 159- I can't easily take into account pokemon like Leavanny who are both types present on the team

[cedar quest]

""Aquatic"" ((Malamar isn't water, but needed somewhere to put it - this made sense))

[edgy skiff]

Ruby would have 115, Sapphire would have 125, and Emerald would have 159

[cedar quest]

Gen 6 2stage + Fire,Water,3rdType

[astral niche]

Honestly the my friend malamar week long event would have been a perfect fit to add to pif

[edgy skiff]

And those numbers are with basically 0 nuance

[dusk scroll]

I feel like Malamar would have easily been the winner of the votes if Emerald had won

[cedar quest]

Gen 5 3stage + Color ((and partly type))

[tame egret]

what do you guys think the reaction would be like when/if gogoat does actually get in

[edgy skiff]

Oh god right I don't think Seismitoad has been on literally anybody's radar

[lament matrix]

Negative

[astral niche]

Like staff might already know the winner

[dusk scroll]

Seismitoad was the only Pokemon with 0 votes in our interest poll

[cedar quest]

"Did well enough last time to not put them all on the same team"

[edgy skiff]

Honestly fair

[astral niche]

Zero and the gang celebrates as we flood the gallery

[cedar quest]

Gen 5 Fossils... and Cherubi ((had to go somewhere)

[edgy skiff]

Checks out to me

[astral niche]

Could you share the results again please

[edgy skiff]

we all know Archeops and Carracosta famously feast on cherries

[cedar quest]

Horse-like/Hoofs

.....

[astral niche]

Womens?

[edgy skiff]

I think you could just say Equine(?)

[lament matrix]

Trust me I love Gogoat and see a ton of potential but many hate it on a level that they send death threats and with this event each day I dont want to see it cuz it seems like it upsets MANY a lot...
Even more since I saw how some "friends" talk about it

[cedar quest]

Counterparts ......and Ducklett

[tidal panther]

Deer are ungulates

[oblique heath]

ducklett likes to stay alone

[cedar quest]

Bugs & Fairy ((2 bugs, 2 fairy))

[dusk scroll]

I don't even know if I still have access to it. But I think I remember Gastrodon, Eelektross, Toxicroak, and Clauncher were all high up.

[cedar quest]

Mushroom.... and Skrelp

[astral niche]

Oh okay

[cedar quest]

Leftover Single Stages

[dusk scroll]

Wishwashi and Drampa I think also had some good numbers

[astral niche]

Basically most of them are water types

[cedar quest]

"This feels right"

[dusk scroll]

about half

[cedar quest]

Counterparts ..... and Cubchoo

And originally we slapped Bergmite and Avalugg at the end of Sapphire and that was the list

[edgy skiff]

I'm noticing a trend of it being easier to put counterparts on Ruby and Emerald and leaving Sapphire in the dust

Were we really left with basically the dregs of the pokemon

[cedar quest]

But then later we learned.... we forgot Conkeldurr

[cedar quest]

Yes and no

Sapphire got some of the really big highs

But also the lowest of lows

[astral niche]

I’m interested in what emerald ruby will choose because this isn’t what the voters wanted and do the opinions might be different ( or just the sheer volume)

[astral niche]

And somehow still won and have to pick them

[dusk scroll]

Plus there is always the silent white names who we have no idea who they want

[cedar quest]

Nah Sapphire didn't win
Mudkipster won

[edgy skiff]

Because I wanted the event winner role 😅

[astral niche]

lol

[dusk scroll]

Fair statement

[cedar quest]

That's not you get that role btw

That's from the stuff in

#recurring-events

[lament matrix]

"Somehow" aka Mudkipster

[edgy skiff]

And also personally pick a pokemon to add

[minor garnet]

All for nothing mudkipster

😔

[edgy skiff]

But I won an event that used Event-General as its playground

[dusk scroll]

I'm glad the other teams get a consolation prize of getting to vote too

[cedar quest]

There was also stuff of making sure each team had enough from like

The top 25 of each, but I won't discuss further on that since like

[tame egret]

if gordo just didn't post the early results mudkip wouldn't have gotten scared into going crazy with sprites and crustle could've been in the game 😔

[lament matrix]

Didnt Mudkipster say in a interview he would be sad if his team wins because of him spriting so much

[cedar quest]

That's stuff I'm pretty sure Frog doesn't want out there?? ||Also I don't have the exact numbers, I just loosely remember from placing 'em all||

[edgy skiff]

false

[minor garnet]

Damn and to think I only missed 1 point

[edgy skiff]

My own anxieties would have and had already taken over even before the early results

[astral niche]

As the writer of said interview how could you ?

[tame egret]

i'm just confused on how a desire for swoobat and event winner drove you to such insane lengths

[minor garnet]

I would do smt like that for buzzwole ngl

[minor garnet]

Or Drampa maybe even in this case

[edgy skiff]

It wasn't even specifically Swoobat, I just thought it would be really cool to win once I realized it was possible

Like- honestly what I did boils down to one thing.
I thought winning would be cool

[minor garnet]

Welp maybe next year

[cedar quest]

But like yeah, we put the stuff in team seperate from Frog and the after we placed everything

Gave it to them for review

[tame egret]

"i just thought it would be cool" makes 42 sprites in a day

[edgy skiff]

But like specifically winning most individual points-

[cedar quest]

And they told us to put Karra & Esca togehter

[astral niche]

I Hope next year it’s a community event and not team event

[cedar quest]

And make sure people know about Burmy and the Monkeys'

hence why I'm like 99% sure

the other counterparts are indeed seperate.

[edgy skiff]

Question: Who would I need to plead my case to for a role from this (if event winner isn't on the table, tho I don't want to ask for a unique role or anything )

[cedar quest]

Me

[astral niche]

Guys gordo reacted with this mean next year will have 30 teams

[cedar quest]

Also yeah def no on the Unique role

I react one thing

And immediate speculation

fml

[astral niche]

Why didn’t the 30 sent

[minor garnet]

Aight gordo says fml

[edgy skiff]

Unique role is def way too much to ask for

[minor garnet]

That means For more lteamevents

[signal nexus]

par for the course

[cedar quest]

I should've expected it

There

you got your thing

Now pester me about anything else

[tame egret]

nah i should get event winner for being cool

[edgy skiff]

Oh I don't think you want me pestering you about something else I feel like you should know what it would be given my history

[signal nexus]

🙋 you got any event results in the pipeline?

[cedar quest]

Actually....

Yes I do hold, I should probably get those out huh?

[eager zinc]

now that the turkey sandwich saga is over, what's the next food to be featured on the gordo podcast

[cedar quest]

I think I'll do that then, get started on the podium images n' whatnot

[lament matrix]

So its confirmd we only get the counterparts that are listed
100%?
Or did I understand it wrong

[tame egret]

i thought i had a chance of podiuming or spotlighting beach day but considering that my sprites are now already below my standards i may be cooked

[edgy skiff]

Ty for the role btw :3
Grey wasn't allowed to give out Event Winner for winning Prize Hunters so I'm glad I have it now
-# Dragon also wasn't allowed for Prize Hunters mini that I won back-to-back with the main prize hunters event

[cedar quest]

*99%

Because even though I run all the cool events for getting new Pokemon into the game n' whatnot, I am not the one that adds them, nor who has made the game. If I could - we'd have Meltan already

There's always the chance that what I say is wrong, because of a decision seperate from me with information I don't have

I try and stay ontop of it all, and get the correct info

[lament matrix]

Okay I wonderd cuz of the extra message

[cedar quest]

But I can't say everything in confidence nor certainty

[tame egret]

wait, is meltan in the version of essentials pif uses?

i thought it was in a weird spot

[cedar quest]

Yep

It was in last years' vote

[dusk scroll]

I'm always confused if Meltan is elegible.

[cedar quest]

With Necrozma n' all that

[tame egret]

guys we gotta get meltan in next event

[cedar quest]

....Was that last year?

[signal nexus]

from what i've heard, it'd be the lastmost possible addition

[cedar quest]

Or was thar 2023???

I don't remember rn

[dusk scroll]

I know it was introduced in Gen 7, but wasn't it only included in the mainline games from Gen 8?

[signal nexus]

necrozma was in before i joined the server

[edgy skiff]

I came to the realization that Melmetal was indeed possible after realizing Double Iron Bash was a tutor move in PIF

[cedar quest]

That was 2023

That's fun, 2023's thing began 8/6

So while it wasn't Fusion Day

We've been doing mon additions 'round this time of year for like

[jagged hinge]

I’ve had a moment of enlightenment realizing your pfp is a meltan fusion

[cedar quest]

3 years now

Neat.

[cedar quest]

I've had it as the sandwich for so long - because it's so funny to me

Look at the R.E.P. O guy

So hungry....

And they can't.... stop.... eating the sandwich.....

[jagged hinge]

How hungry… 🐴

[edgy skiff]

Maybe next year Fusion Day could have a Sinnoh or Unova influence? Maybe like Team Galactic vs Team Plamsa?
actually that would be so unfair Unova has so many more pokemon to vote for

[cedar quest]

I already have rough plans for next year, you'll see what I'm cooking up, with or without new mons
-# I hope I get some though, because a big part of my rough idea relies on a couple.

[edgy skiff]

I just would love a Sinnoh themed event and a Unova themed event so we can get more of those pokemon in the game

[tame egret]

dw guys next year there's a community event where we have to port the entirety of pif to a newer version of essentials to get galar mons

[edgy skiff]

I wanna get Lumineon because I know the talented folks of this server could do some pretty sprites of them

[cedar quest]

Tbf this year was Hoenn themed b/c of Hoenn

Next year... I have plans for something a lot more....

Unique?>??

[dusk scroll]

But not as much as Swoobat huh?

[cedar quest]

Hard to explain without revealing what it is.

[edgy skiff]

Ye that's fair
But my Sinnoh and Unova ideas have been unrelated to that fact, just the fact that we need more pokemon from those games

[cedar quest]

So... no answer now

[lament matrix]

Farm theme

[cedar quest]

I do agree with that

[edgy skiff]

I picked Swoobat because Selfishly I would be comfortable and happy spriting them to Pokefan. And as a Pokemon I personally get to add it would be SO cool to have Pokefan for said pokemon

But Lumineon was my choice before that idea came into my head

[dusk scroll]

that's fair

[cedar quest]

I will say though.... no offense

I thought Swoobat would be cooler than what I've seen so far

I have not seen people do really anything interesting with it so far????

[edgy skiff]

did you see the collab I did with NTM

[cedar quest]

No

[cedar quest]

It's good

I like

[tidal panther]

Never do anything again

For fear

[cedar quest]

So true...

[edgy skiff]

It's also only been a handful of days since Swoobat was officially announced. And just before Halloween too

I imagine by the end of October there'll be some sweet sprites of Swoobat

[tidal panther]

except consider me for mime jr thanks then you can cease to do anything

[tame egret]

honestly woobat has been way more interesting to me than swoobat in terms of the sprites i've seen

[icy jasper]

Swoobat rush

[cedar quest]

But I feel like this could've done just as easily with Mime Jr./Mr. Mime y'know?
Like what makes that uniquely Swoobat

[dusk scroll]

Swoobat could be next year's Valentine event mon

[signal nexus]

poor MudKipster

[cedar quest]

Not happening! Already de-confirmed that

Wat wrong reply

[cedar quest]

this one

yeah not happening

[edgy skiff]

I don't think Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime even compare to Woobat and Swoobat

[cedar quest]

I mean the concept

[edgy skiff]

I still don't see it

[cedar quest]

Like it's a very circus themed fusion, Trapeze Artist

[edgy skiff]

OH- YOU'RE REPLYING TO THE COLLAB-

[cedar quest]

Yeyeye

[edgy skiff]

The Trapeze Artist was entirely NTM's idea I had literally 0 input there

[cedar quest]

What are you talking about?

[signal nexus]

s/woobat in general, i reckon

[cedar quest]

Ohhhhh

[frigid ruin]

holy fcking shit

[edgy skiff]

I thought you were saying Woobat/Swoobat were super similar in concept to Mime.Jr and Mr. Mime 😭

[cedar quest]

Nonnono lmao

Like that's a really good fusion, I'd probably use it

[edgy skiff]

It might be really bad stat-wise to be honest

[tame egret]

gourgeist rush would be cool

[cedar quest]

But not really uniquely Swoobat y'know??? That's what I'm talking about

That's what I've personally seen for most of the S/woobat line rn - nothing that really does something that no other fusion concept could do

[edgy skiff]

I think being a bat lends itself to more aerial acrobatics than Mr.Mime would

Like a Trapeze Artist would be

[dusk scroll]

I mean... I feel like that willl be the case with any Swoobat fusion

[edgy skiff]

Yeah. Though I guess it would be a LOT better than the inverse actually

[cedar quest]

And I think that's just kind of fault to Swoobat unfortunately having a lot of overlap with stuff already present

You got Venonat-like fur, it's a bat (luckily more uniquely shaped), with a heart motif

Doesn't really go all-in on any of those

[edgy skiff]

Maybe it's just meant to be cute

[cedar quest]

Where as we got Pokemon that go all-in on each of those

Individually.

[tame egret]

wait when is the next rush even i assume halloween

[ancient palm]

i still can’t think of anything interesting to do with swoobat like i can make a perfectly fine design but it’s not that like striking or inspiring

[signal nexus]

which pokemon do you think has the least potential for fusions?

[cedar quest]

Currently in or all-time?

Very different answers for those 2.

[signal nexus]

possible additions

[cedar quest]

Ok, so out of just what's currently possible to add...

[frigid ruin]

yall is there any current events that a swoobat fusion would go in

[tame egret]

probably simisear

[signal nexus]

the RPG?

[tame egret]

pour has the hose tail, sage has the huge hair, sear is just kinda there

[ancient palm]

like i don’t want my designs to Just be fusions i think my best designs come from an idea concept thing to build on (ie what if cresselia was a croissant what if blaziken was a retro waitress) and swoobat don’t really inspire any of that

[broken robin]

I’m curious about your pick for currently as well

[ancient palm]

idk throw ideas at me eventually i’ll have something

[cedar quest]

Ducklett.

[signal nexus]

is that the full line or just ducklett?

[cedar quest]

Oh, full line... in that case.

[ancient palm]

Woofa in shambles

[tame egret]

swanna would actually be a little weird with rule 2 surely?

[ancient palm]

I don’t think so? it’s a bird

[signal nexus]

i can see ballerina potential with swanna, but ducklett's kinda... there

[tame egret]

the feathers though

[ancient palm]

a really boring bird but a bird regardless

[edgy skiff]

I mean honestly the reason I picked Swoobat is because I'm comfortable doing more traditional fusions and Woobat and Swoobat really lend themselves to traditional fusions. They're simple enough to do and have a bit of fun with them without needing to stress over the details. So they were perfect Pokefan candidates

[ancient palm]

Now this is an awesome bird who has awesome cleavage

[cedar quest]

Basculin

[dusk scroll]

fair

[edgy skiff]

I guess I kinda actually didn't want to pick something with CRAZY good potential like Crustle because I myself wouldn't be happy spriting that to Pokefan because I'd know there is so much more that I could be doing and I'm just not to stay in my comfort zone

[frigid ruin]

i would have loved crustle 🥲

[broken robin]

Kipster it’s ok to add a pokemon because you like it I would have picked zigzagoon if it wasn’t in and he sucks

[edgy skiff]

So would I! but I wanted to pick something I'd have fun spriting a lot of

[tame egret]

that's some really weird logic, creativity has no upper limit so no matter what there is always more you could be doing so not taking a pokemon that you like because it allows creativity seems very strange

[ancient palm]

hey man if i won i would of picked maractus this is just my thoughts on swoobat and stuff

[tame egret]

i would've picked crustle :(

[ancient palm]

It is a Fine design i just can’t do anything with it

[signal nexus]

i'm wondering if i would've picked salazzle if i had the offer to guarantee it gets in 🤔 or if i'd go with something weirder with less chance

[cedar quest]

Swoobat

||Jokes aside, Quilladin||

[frigid ruin]

woobat and swoobat have such very specific faces, it's a struggle to make sure im getting it correct

[cedar quest]

Quilladin sucks to work with for really

Really middling stuff overall imo

[frigid ruin]

especially the nose shape

[cedar quest]

There are some def good Quilladins' I've seen

[broken robin]

He has Thomas the tank engine energy for sure

I do remember there was that middle evo collab contest and basically nobody made quilladin

[ancient palm]

that’s because lombre is awesome and cool

[broken robin]

True….

[frigid ruin]

and then theres the twisty tail to worry about... I can do it but its gonna be tedious. Gonna be a very Cut Your Teeth On Spriting pokemon. I suppose I do need a decent challenge to improve tho

[cedar quest]

Like I seen these earlier today, and they are like the most unique Quilladin I've ever seen

[frigid ruin]

at least not the same level of difficulty as Tangela fusions, I did one of those and it was agonizing to get it right

[cedar quest]

But like I personally believe it comes more from the well-execution of a Honedge body rather than Quilladin, because

There's tons of Honedge maces- meaning Quilladin wasn't necessarily necessary for this to be good???

Quilladin just ain't it for me, but Chespin & Chesnaught are good

[broken robin]

Erm, that’s a flail 🤓

[edgy skiff]

I know it is
I just wanted to pick something I really liked (because don't get me wrong I do really love Swoobat) that I could sprite to Pokefan because it just makes sense to pick something that I would sprite to Pokefan. It's an insanely special opportunity. And something like Crustle, despite how much I LOVE Crustle, there is so much opportunity for creativity for it that I just wouldn't have and I'd feel super upset with myself for doing maybe a little over the bare minimum thanks to my skill level
So because of that it wouldn't feel as special to me. and if I'm personally gonna get to add something.. It should be something that can be special to me

[cedar quest]

I will flail myself into a tantrum and die tyvm

[lament matrix]

Tbf noone wants to work on quilladin that makes the sprites less good

[cedar quest]

You don't have to justify your pick at all

We should probably get away from this convo topic tbh

[frigid ruin]

i guess compared to other stuff to sprite it does inspire ideas, like. I probably never would have started spriting again if I didnt have swoobat in there

[ancient palm]

i gotta draw a chesnaught head someday i LOVE it’s palette i just never think of anything good i actually want to draw

[signal nexus]

guess i'm gonna have to pokefan both hakamo-o and quilladin
-# at some point

[lament matrix]

Good

[broken robin]

Sounds yucky

[lament matrix]

I love Hakamo-o

[signal nexus]

more for me

[ancient palm]

same i prefer it over kommo o actually

[frigid ruin]

like someone mentioned rouge the bat and i was like "...actually yes good plan" and then i fell b-hole backwards into spriting a whole line of s/woobat smooch/jynx

[edgy skiff]

I pushed myself to win knowing damn well no matter which pokemon I ended up picking I'd end up regretting it at some point in the future
And while maybe I kind of do, in reality I genuinely do not regret picking Swoobat in the slightest. It fit nearly all of the criteria I had

[tame egret]

hakamo-o is just kind of kommo-o lite to me

[cedar quest]

You wanna know what I would've picked if I had the post points?

Something argueably worse than Swoobat

I would've picked Jellicent

[edgy skiff]

almost said Emolga. Confused you with Grey

[broken robin]

Once I finish all heads I’ll publish the definitive and uncontroversial head sprite tier list

[ancient palm]

No way. Head tier list

[dusk scroll]

Jellicent is a good pick

[ancient palm]

😳

[cedar quest]

who making the best head?

[tidal panther]

https://tenor.com/view/alvin-chipmunks-smile-cute-gif-12907710

[cedar quest]

don't bonk me you know I'm right

[cedar quest]

A VISIONARY!!

[tame egret]

🤨

[edgy skiff]

-# would saying bellsprout get me banned

[ancient palm]

Mudkipster we’re going to kill you

[tidal panther]

Teamkill

[tame egret]

i mean it's better than saying something like ultra necrozma

[tidal panther]

You're both kips

[ancient palm]

He’s too pokey for that

[tidal panther]

Glass shards

[edgy skiff]

NTM actually confused me for Pip a while back

[cedar quest]

I'm sure someone out there will find a way to make Swoobat really unique compared to what it competes agains

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/paddling-gif-7623907

[edgy skiff]

And I think Pip was confused for me at some point?

[ancient palm]

wdym i’m mudkipster now

And that’s pip

[cedar quest]

Because the obscure stuff is the fun stuff to work with

[frigid ruin]

i was just super looking forward to a pokemon that was on Ruby team and then Mud swept the entire competition solo... and i had a wedding to prepare for so i didnt have time to compete

[edgy skiff]

Can I count on you to contribute to the effort to get Lumineon in the game then

[cedar quest]

No.

[frigid ruin]

i was trying to give critique to people fast to help them but it didnt help us win

[broken robin]

surely everyone has voted at this point

[cedar quest]

Yeah there were a lot of problems with stuff like that this year

[edgy skiff]

Honestly if I had thought about taking this competition seriously from the very beginning, Team Ruby would've won 100%

[cedar quest]

Can't answer that for certain, but probably not

[signal nexus]

congrats on your marriage btw

[tame egret]

well there's a chance enough people have voted to virtually decide the winners already right?

[ancient palm]

ZOMG!!! YUNGOOS WON?!!??

[edgy skiff]

I specifically chose Team Sapphire because it had the least pokemon I wanted in the game and I wasn't planning on taking the competition super seriously in the beginning

[lament matrix]

You should have been Emerald

[ancient palm]

random but if escavalier wins the vote i gotta make the bestest design for escavalier/golisopod right now or else i’ll be publically executed

[edgy skiff]

And it was only like half way through the event after probably seeing I was catching up to Mr. Person in sprites that I realized "wait holy shit I could actually win this"

[frigid ruin]

idk it sucks being low on spriting skill for competitions bc everyone else has more free time and can practice more often, i have a full time job and dont have much free time bc of medical stuff

[cedar quest]

Be patient - the cutoff is Saturday

[tame egret]

yeah, i've got my studies now so i can barely sprite anymore outside of the weekends

[edgy skiff]

If I had made my team choice based soley on the pokemon I wanted, I'm sure I would have been Team Ruby

[tame egret]

oh i'm fine with waiting, i was just wondering if the voting has been super lopsided

[ancient palm]

because the event is over i can now comfortably work on my monthly sprite quota of 1-2 per month

[edgy skiff]

Incredibly lopsided. No one is voting for Gumshoos

[tame egret]

i probably wouldn't be able to start sprites of the new mons until the weekend anyways

[tame egret]

nah guys trust me all of the whitenames voted gumshoos

[edgy skiff]

But here actually let me look at all of the team picks let's see which team I would've been on if I was being serious from the beginning

[tame egret]

anyways, this is a cool songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz7w2pW0nfA&list=PLtxxaMu8EsSBBT6ZGjxlL6EOnrK5Whv1O&index=736

[frigid ruin]

and tbh the only competition i ever entered in this server, mods told me the title of my thread for the competition was fine and they would find it, then never found it and never put my thing on the chart or judged it, and when i asked about it they said after it was too late to change everything that the title was wrong, and that was after i had 4 panic attacks trying to get it submitted before the deadline and I ended up crying for like a whole day about it

[ancient palm]

This weekend is gonna be great i’m gonna make the most delicious tacos ever and completely ignore the new pokémon win

[frigid ruin]

so i kinda dont push myself to even try on competitions anymore

[cedar quest]

Don't ping the mods/pissmen for that kind of stuff, ping me

[frigid ruin]

i think i did that before and i think you were the one that said the title was good? i cant even remember i like blocked out half of it bc whoever was judging it got mad at me when i tried to ask about it like they thought i was being entitled

[broken robin]

what kind

[lament matrix]

Funny enough you decided which team wins

[ancient palm]

still thinking on it, mostly i just wanted to make salsa verde and think of everything else later

[cedar quest]

Nah you never ping me

[tidal panther]

Banana

[frigid ruin]

damn not even like for feebas?

[cedar quest]

If you can find the post, I'll look into it

See what was said, and make sure it don't happen again.

[edgy skiff]

So for Team Sapphire, the picks circled in orange are picks I only wanted after I had joined Team Sapphire and spent a whole month bonding with the team and hearing peoples arguments

Fuck I would've been team Emerald

[cedar quest]

I convinced you on Araq

[frigid ruin]

idk i just wish there were rewards and competitions for like previously sprited stuff 🥲 i never have time to sprite and i never really see my stuff used or like... noticed? I try to make stuff like... For Myself mostly but some recognition would be nice for motivation

[edgy skiff]

Multiple people convinced me on Araquanid, and also spriting bubbles for Castform Rainy personally convinced me

[signal nexus]

barbaracle my beloved

[cedar quest]

So what you're saying is...

I convinced you on Araq

[signal nexus]

rip April Fools results 🥲

[dusk scroll]

You don't want Eelektross.

[edgy skiff]

It's worth noting though that These might not be entirely accurate. I don't think I cared too much for Vikavolt at the start of the event? Only later towards the end of the event did it become something I would've wanted

[edgy skiff]

Im sorryyyyy I don't understand the appeal
Design-wise at least.

[dusk scroll]

💔

[edgy skiff]

Having done the whole event and hearing about things that went on in the other teams chats though I have 0 regrets picking Team Sapphire. It was like.. all vibes there

[dusk scroll]

I guess I got to keep pushing

[edgy skiff]

I should probably go through and edit my votes tbh. I stand by most of them but some like Escavalier are probably outdated

[dusk scroll]

To be fair, I don't understand the appeal of woobat/swoobat

[edgy skiff]

is cute and round

You have a Spheal base you should know cute round and blue is good

[dusk scroll]

Yeah... but Spheal is Spheal. An adorable critter with cute eyes

Woobat is a flying furball with only a big nose that has just one nostril.

[edgy skiff]

im sure Woobat has cute eyes under the fur

[lament matrix]

I wish Emerald was a good vibe

[dusk scroll]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[frigid ruin]

woobat is delightful actually, i dont know why i was ever annoyed it won

[lament matrix]

I mean many hated the picks from others
We got told meanest and worst team
Hell I got threatend with being bannend cuz they thought my feedback was too mean

[frigid ruin]

wait yes i do its bc i couldnt think of a fusion at first

[dusk scroll]

Yikes. Sorry you had to deal with that.

[lament matrix]

Also in the team people were really demotivating
So yeah many problems in there

[dusk scroll]

Competition can sometimes bring out the worst in people

[lament matrix]

I agree

[edgy skiff]

Yeaaah. That's really unavoidable when it comes to competitions

ESPECIALLY with such a valuable prize for this community

[cedar quest]

Yeah

Hence why next year

I'm not doing teams

Points? Probably, I got a good idea on how to use the script

But teams?

Nuh uh.

[dusk scroll]

This is my first time participating in the Fusion Day event, so I'm actually not familliar with how it usually goes without teams

[edgy skiff]

A community goal definitely sounds like a good idea tbh. Like reaching higher and higher milestones unlocks more rewards?

[cedar quest]

no

who would ever think of something like that

[edgy skiff]

The biggest issue is that I can't think of any other rewards outside of new Pokemon being added, or even anything outside of the game itself that would be tempting enough for people to participate

[signal nexus]

adding more events

[edgy skiff]

Would have to find more people willing to run them

[cedar quest]

I can.

And that's all that matters

[edgy skiff]

Having run a prize hunters mini, it's fun but good god I would never be able to keep that up for an extended period

I think rewards being like special custom items or even locations in PIF Hoenn could be extremely cool as Milestones but that's more work for Frog, work that requires custom coding and ideas to boot

[signal nexus]

you get permission to have a third alt for a design

[lament matrix]

A custom trainer in game

Like in Battle fact a trainer named after you with a set team

[signal nexus]

oooh, someone using a team of entirely your sprites

(obviously other people can make alts so it's not a guarantee only yours will show, but still)

[fallen light]

neither can i, i forgot to run the event

[cedar quest]

oh right the podiums

I was gonna do that

but i hungry....

[tidal panther]

Tree fiddy for first place

[tidal panther]

👁️

What podiums

[dusk scroll]

Event contest results

[fallen light]

eat first, we can wait for results

[tidal panther]

For all of them?

[cedar quest]

Not all of yet, no.

I'll begin on 'em after eating

Because I haven't yet today

I ADHD'd my way to forgetting to eat

So I do that now

[edgy skiff]

turkey samwich :3

[edgy skiff]

WAIT THAT WOULD BE SO COOL

[edgy skiff]

Ohhh, yes yes! Can this be on their team?

A team consisting of purely my sprites would be super easy to fight. Tho In the future I plan on having Volcarona/Swoobat which I hope could be a BEAST

[edgy skiff]

Honestly a team of these 6 sprites I'd be pretty happy with. Maybe replace something with Volcarona/Swoobat when that gets made. Though this roster is still taking into account actually being good stats-wise (for the most part)
I could probably pick like 6 of my favorites and end up with a super weak team

[edgy skiff]

I'd pick this for the team (based on stats) but I feel like it would cause issues

Why are my coolest sprites not even fully evolved

[tame egret]

cool rewards would probably be stuff like getting to pick the next mons to be added for the next normal update, so you don't immediately get them in but you still ensure they'll get in earlier than others and it's still up to the team when they add them

[edgy skiff]

That's still just getting to pick pokemon that will be added tho 😅

Honestly other in-game rewards would be EXTREMELY cool!

And they should be given retroactively

[mighty stump]

Museum with their winning sprite in a picture frame

[edgy skiff]

That would be cool for contests but that might get tough to add since Contests happen outside of Fusion Day

But in my case for example.. I mean. Sure, add a museum that displays my 315 winning sprites

[dusk scroll]

Flattered that you would include our Sharpedo collab

[edgy skiff]

It's really cool!
and fully evolved
-# and at least decent stat-wise

Or honestly a trainer that just has a randomized team of 6 pokemon that each time you battle it picks a new pool of 6 pokemon you've made sprites for could be really interesting.
Though honestly that could be such a cool feature regardless! Imagine a battle area where you can type in the name of a spriter and generate a team of 6 of their sprites to fight. I'm sure that wouldn't be a nightmare to code at all

(i forgot that movepools would be completely screwed in a scenario like that)

-# and held items EVs IVs

[signal nexus]

toxic orbs for everyone

[tidal panther]

I didn’t start it this time

[tidal panther]

Toxic Orb gang but we all just make skyrim poisoned noises

[frigid ruin]

yknow what @edgy skiff thank you for swoobat, ive been spriting since i got on the plane and ive almost landed. its reignited my desperation to be The Best at Jynx fusions

it was initially supposed to be a Rouge reference and then I got lost in the euphoria of referencing a scene from Carmen

like now im probably gonna end up doing all 4 woo/swoo/smoo/jynx

[broken robin]

finally... Mope8

[ancient palm]

the 7 mope souls needed to break the barrier

[fallen light]

I love toxic orb, best item frfr

[tidal panther]

@cedar quest are the judges supposed to be visible for speed spriter, they were abbreviated last time

[cedar quest]

SHIT

[tidal panther]

[long basin]

True…

[tidal panther]

[broken robin]

oh I came 7th I think thats my best placement so far

[tidal panther]

I'm happy with my placement given that I banged that sprite out in 40 minutes

[broken robin]

I speedran mine in 2 hours lol

[ancient palm]

OH MY GOD HERO WIN??????

I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE

[tidal panther]

i forgot about the deadline and overslept

[signal nexus]

[broken robin]

9th in EU. I'll take it!!

[echo peak]

My Dragonite/Zangoose didn't do half bad

HONEY BUTT 🗣️ 📢

[subtle moss]

I'm 13th place on the NA one, and I'm still like 30 points behind 1st place.

21st place on the other one.

[merry mica]

HONEY BUTT!!!

[signal nexus]

rip poor guy

[elder marlin]

[edgy skiff]

I'm pretty happy with my placements (in comparison to the quality of the submitted sprites)

[signal nexus]

[edgy skiff]

I'd normally be upset to get 6th from last place but for Minun/Hitmontop not really

[signal nexus]

you got 6th from last place but i got sixth place!

[jade chasm]

zamn!!

[edgy skiff]

What a crazy thing to ping someone and say

[signal nexus]

oh wait the other one's up!

[urban siren]

i'm 1 point lower

[signal nexus]

😅
in my defense
i thought you said you got sixth place at first and was very confused

[sly shuttle]

Gordo should’ve listed that as tie for 3rd

[signal nexus]

"worm, that's not a defense" sorry

[tidal panther]

did one get more 11s?

that's usually tiebreaker

[edgy skiff]

As long as my real entries to Beach Day and Food Fight beat my participation sprites for each event I'll be happy. Unless they all score really low

[signal nexus]

my EU sprite got normal placement for me

[sly shuttle]

Oh yeah, that did it
Piloswine got an 11
Goomy got none

[urban siren]

it's strange that they now tiebreak 2nd places and 3rd places
they didn't do that before

[jade chasm]

one 11 already made it equal, that kind of sucks ass

[echo peak]

This aside, where's the Malamar Infinite Fusion announcement?

[elder marlin]

[tidal panther]

all sprites upside down

[echo peak]

That could be a fun challenge

Hitmontop and maybe the bat Pokemon are the only things that could work technically

[tidal panther]

i just meant like

[broken robin]

There’s one torkoal base that’s upside down

[tidal panther]

we physically flip them

[signal nexus]

i got it!

[signal nexus]

like
with our hands?

we print them out and?

[echo peak]

if we can sprite 50 upside down sprites, we get Malamar (jk)

[tidal panther]

he has been malamar'd

[signal nexus]

the newest champion icon is just two sprites fused

[tidal panther]

i love that the past spinning icon was two sprites relatively similar in size

and now

this

[signal nexus]

chonkster

[whole arrow]

they always are think about it

oh wait technically its always two pokemon fused, not sprites nvm

[urban siren]

except the custom base contest

[signal nexus]

wasn't it a metagross?
aren't those a fusion of beldum, lorewise?

lorewise, yes.
now to check if it was a metagross 🤔

😌 'twas
#contest-gallery message

[sly shuttle]

I’m the only person to win a contest with a quadruple fusion

[merry mica]

let me win a contest pls

no improvemence
only win

[tidal panther]

First person to be named "the pokemon company" in the Infinite Fusion discord wins!!!

[sly shuttle]

I’m also the last person have the old champion role color

[whole arrow]

it used to be "Contest Winner" right? then changed to Sprite Contest Champion?

[sly shuttle]

Yeah, but I think that change happened before my win
I can’t remember exactly

[tidal panther]

i feel like having great spriter and ultra spriter is redundant

[sly shuttle]

Explain

[tidal panther]

having 500+ sprites inherently implies you have 100+ sprites

[sly shuttle]

Strange that the <@&900867033175040101> s keep that redundancy but not the poke fan roles

Nvm, they are not consistent with the pokefan roles
(Or maybe that’s just a Hero thing)

[broken robin]

the poke fan roles stack though after you max them out

[sly shuttle]

Ohhh

[broken robin]

ye

[sly shuttle]

Victory laps

[broken robin]

its just to add extra pokefans

Finally, I don’t know who thought it was a good idea for him to have any fi those to being with

[wind matrix]

oh yeah

exra roles have been nomed

[craggy dagger]

not funny how there is critisim to the sprite, yet all the ratings are 10

[signal nexus]

must've been the one 9

[edgy skiff]

Ah so Paya must've missed the x8 Pokefan role when discussing them with me

[slate otter]

Paya can do no wrong must be your fault

Mhm

[molten vector]

I can try to fix but I'm funk

drunk

[slate otter]

[edgy skiff]

No no you got nothing wrong!

You had just said that with all the Pokefan roles you'd get up to a x10 Pokefan

being x4, x3, x2, and x1

[molten vector]

wanna know a secret? i cant count

[slate otter]

Wanna hang in vc I love chilling with drunk ppl

[whole arrow]

yr overlooking that the judges must have thought 2nd and 3rd places mistakes merited slightly larger loss of points. Hero gets the 10s this time because there isnt a sprite better than his to push his score down by comparison.

the "slapped on" critique of the Dustcrozmas fingers outweighs the "different sizes" critique of Hero's due to which problem was more noticeable/problematic for the judge that saw it

HOWEVER

[mighty stump]

Snakes are super cute

https://tenor.com/view/cute-snek-snake-gif-19212997

(Obviously don't approach snakes or any wild animals for that matter outside though)

Admire from afar :3

[blissful kindle]

Yeah that must be a mistake on hero's profile for great spriter and uktra spriter

We don't stack tese

[craggy dagger]

That is just nonsense? If the problem is more major you give a sprite less points, literally why else would 10 points rating system exist, where each number also has a description on when and why to use it

otherwise it's just a rating on personal bias

which is forbidden

[whole arrow]

im not a judge or anything, and i think Hero's sprite has issues none of the judges saw

[urban siren]

technical performance is important but it isn't the only standard to judge

so sometimes an amazing sprite with a very minor issue can still get 10

[whole arrow]

these are things i would have dinged hero for

oo also the tail shading throwing me off a bit now

It is what it is, the judges arent perfect.

[thick harness]

I mean, this was also the contest for speed spriter. it makes sense for the judges to be more forgiving considering the tight deadlines. it's a great sprite, it deserved the tens

[torpid osprey]

Yeah. This seems more like complaining on a high level. Very minor things, some of which I wouldn't even call errors at all.

[whole arrow]

are you talking specifically to me or

[torpid osprey]

Yes.

[whole arrow]

cuz the things i just pointed out arent complaints

theyre valid critique of an art style i have a great understanding of

thanks

im trying to say that the judging is never going to be perfect here so that the people who are upset by their scores, can cope im not saying Hero doesnt deserve the win

feel free to ask Hero how many times hes gotten top 3 without winning 1st place💀

[slate otter]

Which one

[whole arrow]

which hero? the manager, who won the contest, hero.drawing

[slate otter]

There's like 10 guys here named hero

Hey @slow gyro widecloud told me to ask you how many times you've gotten top 3 without winning first place

[slate otter]

I asked him for ya

[white wagon]

Not recognizing hero is crazy (though you're not a spriter, so might not be so much into these parts 😛 )

Not to mention other awesome artists

[slate otter]

I knew of him but not with the malamar stuff

[white wagon]

Ah, I see, recent name change so that's understandable

[whole arrow]

fun fact, we only have 3 spriters with the name hero as part of their name

heroicorange is one of them

[jagged hinge]

We have two spriters named firesword and fireblade and that baffles me

[mighty stump]

It's simple, arson plus sword is awesome

Therefore double the arson swords, double the awesome

[wind matrix]

They form into fire doublade

[white wagon]

We require ignitionkatana and blazesaber now

[potent sorrel]

Hey that's me

[signal nexus]

i'm a worm

[whole arrow]

its an honor m'hero

[slate otter]

HELL YEAH U ARE

[mystic nacelle]

The amount of times people confuse firesword with me is actually insane, but never the other way around

[limpid sphinx]

next double trouble u both could team up lmao

[signal nexus]

next Double Trouble you can only pair up with someone whose username is easily confusable with yours
(changing your name to be more like your partner's is allowed)

[tired jay]

Yeah it happened a few time now

[slow gyro]

Like 6 I think

Probably more idk

[potent sorrel]

Me and hero boutta uh...
Idk

Actually I don't think anyones confused us yet
Prolly cause hero is actually more recognizable then me._.

You shouldn't be forced to vote for 1 thing specifically

[bold granite]

Well we arent

You give 0-3 to all the mons

Propaganda to try making people alter their votes isn't exactly neutral

I want the people to vote what they want, how they want.

[signal nexus]

is anyone forcing you?

[sacred flicker]

I... Not really, I guess... Sorry for misunderstanding

[minor garnet]

swoops in

Oh shit wrong timing

[sacred flicker]

I just... Dislike it when people get influenced randomly into changing their minds, and I much prefer it when they come to conclusions or decisions on their own without being nudged into a different direction.

[minor garnet]

Well welcome to politics

[sacred flicker]

...As much as I can agree, I'd rather not talk about any of the recent stuff atm. So lets just keep that to a minimum for now.

[minor garnet]

I just mean campaigns

people get nudged by campaigns in general yada yada

[signal nexus]

are they being influenced randomly or is the propaganda asking people to consider 'mons they'd otherwise overlook?

[sacred flicker]

When Gastrodon is Propaganda, what part of that seems like a Pokemon you'd overlook? If it's so popular in-general, why would that be the case?

[signal nexus]

🤔 so in your case it's just people posting propaganda for already-popular picks that bothers you?

[sacred flicker]

Eh... Kinda? It's moreso how people just want popular to stay popular, and barely even consider the other options. Like, let's be completely honest here, nobody is considering Carracosta or the Monkeys.

And if they're considering the latter, then it's being done as a joke

[fallen light]

i unironically gave the monkeys a high mark

[signal nexus]

i have seen a surprising amount of monkey propaganda, and i don't know how much is a joke
i wouldn't mind seeing more carracosta propaganda
it's also why i don't add other people's picks to my propaganda. i'm supporting my faves and you can support yours

[sacred flicker]

If we get the Monkeys, we get a New Triple Fusion. If we get Carracosta, we could be able to buff a Fossil Pokemon via Fusion

[fallen light]

my top choice is pachirisu, but i feel like people aren't really circling it

[hushed stream]

anyone is welcome to make propaganda for any pokemon! if you are sad there's none for a certain mon, you gotta make it yourself

[fallen light]

has that been confirmed? the triple fusion?

[signal nexus]

not confirmed, but highly likelypossible

[fallen light]

typically its just starters and legends, no?

[hushed stream]

i love seeing why people like certain mons even if I don't love them myself

[signal nexus]

🤔 actually, let me amend that
there's be nothing that points to it as a likelihood, but also nothing that dissuades from it
there was a suggestion a while back to have a hitmon throuple. while that has not been implemented, response was favorable (can't remember if the dev himself commented).

[sacred flicker]

Not entirely, but Frog promised we would get All 3 Monkeys if one of them got voted.

So I'm expecting a Triple Fusion

[fallen light]

i mean i'd've thought it was more cause having 1 monkey makes no sense

[signal nexus]

🙋 i'd rather have one monkey than three
gives the spriters more leeway for designs

[fallen light]

their gimmick is that they're a triplet set, i personally don't think that makes them any more likely than any other trio to get a triple

[sacred flicker]

But if Panpour gets in, so does Pansage

[signal nexus]

i'm aware

[fallen light]

but silly monkeys

[signal nexus]

what other trios are there?

the eevees are a nonet

[fallen light]

hitmon trio, wormadam technically

[signal nexus]

like i said, feedback was favorable to a hitmon throuple suggestion

[fallen light]

arguably the original 3 eeveelutions are a trio

dugtrio and magneton

[fallen light]

they're a throuple now

good for them

[signal nexus]

that's been suggested too, and if we didn't get all the other eeveelutions, i bet they'd have a throuple in-game

[fallen light]

either way, it ain't confirmed which is all my original question was

[signal nexus]

is this like when Testrun won the base contest with a metagross which is technically a fusion of metang, lorewise

[signal nexus]

anyway, i don't see much propaganda for skrelp and tympole and those are on my propaganda

[sacred flicker]

Hm... You know what? I might as well try something.

[sharp mountain]

its funny bc its basically worse gen2starterfusion. i dont even think they'd get any ubique moves outside fury swipes and maybe seed bomb?

maybe incinerate too

[mighty stump]

Imagine if they got their own secret triple fusion move

Just "Monkey Lazers" or something

[fallen light]

it's just 100% accurate fissure

[rapid knot]

Exactly
We are just influencing what they want

Of course you all will vote for what you want
But it would be super cool and fun and good for you if what you wanted were the monkeys

[rapid knot]

I asked frog and he said we'd probably be able to triple fuse them

[signal nexus]

[rapid knot]

Don't you want a new triple fusion?

There are no legendaries on the roster, but there is a triple fusion you could vote for

Why not?

[signal nexus]

now that all the legendaries have been purged from Remix we don't even get to see most of them outside of post-postgame

[rapid knot]

But you could find monkeys

[signal nexus]

it's not really something i'm interested in

[rapid knot]

It would be an accessible triple fusion

[signal nexus]

Colress won't have machine up and running until after you've done the Burned Tower quest in the last city in Johto

[long basin]

drampa turtonator druddigon

[rapid knot]

What about in PIF2?

[signal nexus]

i don't think we're getting all three

[long basin]

sad

[signal nexus]

i anticipate it'll still be a post-postgame thing, but i might be proven wrong

[rapid knot]

Their energy signatures are not similar enough for a triple fusion

[long basin]

energy signatures are the exact same fr

[rapid knot]

Monkeys as a way to introduce triple fusion would be neat

[long basin]

wait theyre adding triple fusion to infinite fusion

[rapid knot]

"Here's your triple fusion, you can triple fuse these monkeys, but good luck finding others that can triple fuse"

[long basin]

why didnt they start with the starter pokemon or something

[rapid knot]

I can't tell if you're being serious rn or not

[long basin]

[signal nexus]

exact same BST, to be specific

[rapid knot]

That's not the same thing

[long basin]

they look exactly the same idk what you mean

[rapid knot]

bing

[long basin]

fake newsw

[rapid knot]

Where's drampa

[long basin]

idk

[rapid knot]

Didn't look the same

[long basin]

whar

[tired jay]

fun fact there is something else with the same bst, typing, and fan grouping as 2 things currently in the game

[long basin]

what is it

[tired jay]

same bst, typing, and all 3 called pikaclones

[rapid knot]

Pikaclones is a broad group, not a trio, though

[long basin]

minun and plusle are part of the same evolution line it doesnt count

[signal nexus]

why not dedenne and togedemaru though

same problem as an eevee throuple

emolga

[tired jay]

bst

[rapid knot]

What does throuple mean?

[long basin]

three of thems

[tired jay]

emolga also has differnt bst

[rapid knot]

They're from different gens, though

[signal nexus]

funnier word than trio/triple fusion/triple fusion fodder

[tired jay]

but my idea of a triple fusion for them is more of a joke

the egg just hatches a pikachu

[signal nexus]

so?

[rapid knot]

So they're not really a trio

They're just a pair and a standalone with some similarities

[signal nexus]

i don't know why i keep reading this as "bread group"
maybe the e in "[pika]clones"

[tired jay]

and mew, celebi, and jirachi are?

[signal nexus]

oh, i thought you were talking about the three single-stage dragons

[rapid knot]

They're not a trio either

[rapid knot]

No, I was talking about pachi, plusle, and minun that time

[tired jay]

but they have a triple fusion

[rapid knot]

I don't know why

[signal nexus]

same with genesect, mewtwo, and deoxys

[signal nexus]

tiny mythical nature spirits

[tired jay]

silly little creatures

[rapid knot]

I mean, genesect, mewtwo, and deoxys at least have a common theme

[signal nexus]

and the "scifi monsters"

[rapid knot]

But mew, celebi, and jirachi are just a handful of the short mythicals

[long basin]

okay so you're saying that the single-stage same bst goofy dragons would work too i getcha

[signal nexus]

https://www.fusiondex.org/151.251.381/

[rapid knot]

And I can't think of any other myths/legends that are labgrown

[tired jay]

type:null

[long basin]

was deoxys even made from a lab

[tired jay]

nah its a mutated space virus

[rapid knot]

A triple fusion has to not only be a trio but be an exclusive trio
It shouldn't be something that can be extended to a quartet or quintet

Mutated by a laser

[signal nexus]

i kind of want magearna, diancie, and meloetta to be a throuple
but i don't know how that'd work with Relic Song, though

[signal nexus]

regigigas?

[long basin]

okay so i guess that means the three-of-a-kind single-stage goofy same bst dragons would be perfect then

[tired jay]

Type: Null was created by the Aether Foundation

[rapid knot]

If you really want to know, you can just ask Frog

[long basin]

i can see an argument for druddigon not being a great component in that triple but cant say deoxys was much better for its triple

[signal nexus]

we have absolutely no evidence that they'd be made one, though
just same BST
and the joke came about because we were thinking the remaining Dragon types would get jang'd in

[rapid knot]

Ask frog if pseudos from three different gens can be a triple fusion

[long basin]

i know, just saying it would be cool

[signal nexus]

Type:Null also evolves, though, and none of the other science crime legendaries do 🤔

[long basin]

true

[tired jay]

true

[long basin]

also different stats!

[signal nexus]

-# sorry, i wanted to participate

[long basin]

also sorry what mewtwo has 680 bst?? why did it get a mega

two megas*

[signal nexus]

but yeah. Turtonator/Druddigon/Drampa for single-stage Dragons, Meloetta/Diancie/Magearna for femme mythicals... 🤔

[signal nexus]

Charizard reasons, ig

[long basin]

true

[signal nexus]

i guess necrozma/solgaleo/lunala would have to get a throuple too, but i don't know how that'd work with cosmog and UN

since Necrozma can canonically fuse with cosmog's final evos

[long basin]

it probably wouldnt work at all actually lol

maybe actually i dunno 😔

[signal nexus]

would have to do something tricky
assuming we ever get cosmog, of course

idk, maybe UN causes the throuple machine to explode again

🤔 both melmetal and silvally are two-stagers... is there a third...

[rapid knot]

Why is the United Nations dismantling triple fusion technology

[rapid knot]

Kubfu

[signal nexus]

ohhhh, poipole and nagandanel, perhaps

[rapid knot]

They're ultra beasts, though

[signal nexus]

yeah, and melmetal is a mythical and silvally a legendary
so, i mean

kinda low chance in general

[signal nexus]

with bombs, apparently
since they're making it explode

[rapid knot]

That doesn't sound good :0

[signal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-ze-missiles-missiles-french-gif-18119020

i don't think we'd get any UB throuples 😔
there's no real "trios" of the group

🤔 what other trios could we get... maybe Keldeo/Shaymin/Hoopa? mythicals with two forms?

these guys...

and these guys 🤔

[cedar quest]

While not a traditional trio, there's the 3 Gen 6 Mythicals

Diancie/Hoopa/Volcanion

[signal nexus]

i'm kinda hoping for a femme mythical trio:
magearna/diancie/meloetta

🤔 the throuples tend to be around the same size on the canvas, right?

the ingredients, i mean

[tidal panther]

someone fuse the lake spirits

[signal nexus]

idk

[whole arrow]

its acshuelli a pokemon 🤓

[tidal panther]

acshuelli sounds like a fakemon

If you don't know then you don't need it

[slow gyro]

But I like have roles smh

[echo peak]

I thought Malamar was everyone's friend Gamr, including yours

But it seems we have a doubter jk lol

[signal nexus]

did malamar steal hero's role

[echo peak]

They would never

A vote for drampa isnt a vote for smt else but it would be awesome

[urban siren]

Pidove day 5
if you vote pidove, you can get:

• cute pigeon
• cool bird with mask & ribbons
• large bird body with details

[white wagon]

Pidove! What you get is:
-generic bird

• a slightly bigger bird
  -Bird with some gender variance, I suppose that's interesting?

You can't convince me to a literal pigeon when the pool is so based, I mean, we cna get bipedal toxic frog that's jabbing people

[urban siren]

You can choose not to be a pidove fan but pls don't call ot generic
the smol pigeon needs more love

[rigid abyss]

Because gen every regional bird DEFINITELY isnt just a generic bird?

https://tenor.com/view/pidove-pokemon-pidove-pokemon-bird-dove-gif-6200216794477520442

I will not tolerate pidove slander 😤

[whole arrow]

Unfezant is cool

[dusk scroll]

I do like it's mask

[gaunt lava]

I doubt its one of the two, but heres hoping for the bubble spider

[dense jackal]

Would wishiwashi have a school forme? And would that be as just head, or just body, or either?

[white wagon]

Mostly ye, but they don't look like just cartoonified bird that they're based on

[signal nexus]

i like pigeons

[crude cedar]

Want to fuse Toxicroak with Greninja for that badass Dark/Poison Ninja

[zenith jackal]

Good news #1411760669044379748 some one already made it but its not in the game yet until we vote for it and it wins

[signal nexus]

pigeon

[urban siren]

[zenith jackal]

We already have so many birds and normal flying is like a typing thats already everywhere

There is only 2 Poison/fighting Pokemon where ever going to get to Infinite fusion and thats toxicroak

And crogunk

[potent sorrel]

You say that
But if Starly got in everyone would be popping off

[zenith jackal]

You got me i do want starly

[crude cedar]

The Toxicroak line and Durant are good suggestions. I also like Seismitoed and and Dragalge

[signal nexus]

pidove at least adds pigeons and pheasants (and maybe secretarybirds if you squint)
starly line is the worst in terms of generic bird bodies

[potent sorrel]

Seismitoad mentioned! :O

[lament matrix]

Yeah we need more ants!

Stats wise, Staraptor is one of the better birds

I fuse it with Sunkern and make it suck again

[tired jay]

Sadly that means white names are more likely to vote it over other birbs
