event-general

[placid briar]

good thing white naes cant vote this poll right

[zenith jackal]

Ok what i will say wil exclude multiple pokemon some even i want but is it not smarter to vote Pokemon with at least a evolution so we get like 2 or 3

[lament matrix]

I know, in emerald we did say if we win Starraptor likely gets in cuz its WAY too popular

[crude cedar]

Some people just want to play with strong Pokemon. That's why people will fuse Tyranitar with Kyogre

[urban siren]

there's quite a lot of whitenames in emerald (emeruby now)

[lament matrix]

Depends on many factors

[lament matrix]

They can

But they have to put in minimal effort so it could be fine?

[signal nexus]

look at these silhouettes
at least tranquill has legs

[placid briar]

fro the white name i saw yesterday they couldnt access the poll

[zenith jackal]

If the ant gets in would it not make sense that we get the ant eater Pokemon but if we vote we only get one

[urban siren]

long legs

[placid briar]

they asked : Hey all these are to restricted chanels

so how can i vote

& we told the he cant

so it is restricted to thsoe who have the tea roles

[signal nexus]

at least flucking tranquill has legs

[lament matrix]

Your staravia silhouette looks like a Seagull

[lament matrix]

good

[signal nexus]

we already have wingull

[lament matrix]

Noone really knows if we get Heatmor too
Thats why I wrote maybe on the propaganda
But I say its likely

[signal nexus]

precedent says otherwise
-# but we've already had this conversation

[placid briar]

i thik when asked- they didnt consider the counterparts

but that was years ago

[zenith jackal]

I dont think we will get it so lets focus on the Pokemon we know 100% we will get when we vote on them

[crude cedar]

It would be weird to include a pokemon without their respective counterpart

[lament matrix]

Monkes?

[zenith jackal]

Do we get all the monkey pokemon if they win?

[signal nexus]

yeah, but we have precedent

[signal nexus]

been confirmed, yeah
same with burmy

[lament matrix]

Yeah and all examples people can bring are from the time we had limited space

[zenith jackal]

If we want the most Pokemon out of this we need to choose

[signal nexus]

do we?

[zenith jackal]

6 if we vote monkey

What counts with the burmy line?

[potent sorrel]

I am prolly one of the only few making sprites/concepts for the lad
But here's a Gyradoes

[crude cedar]

Do people even like monkey? I remember them being unpopular back in gen 5

[signal nexus]

each pokemon added requires >500 sprites to make

[signal nexus]

i can't tell how much hype is ironic or not

[urban siren]

simisear got the last place in a popularity vote

[placid briar]

people are voting the onkies so we dont have to see the anyore

[zenith jackal]

With toxicroak we only gen 2

[crude cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-croagunk-brock-pokemon-officer-jenny-pokemon-poison-jab-gif-6809837613784918419

[zenith jackal]

I guess the only one of the monkeys i like is the one seen alot in the gen 5 anime

https://tenor.com/view/anipoke-pokemon-gif-23760775

[crude cedar]

the sage

[potent sorrel]

I think the monkeys are cool
And we might get a gift Monkey in Hoenn that could work like Gen 5

Where you get one that benefits your starters type

[crude cedar]

Nowadays games just give you a second starter type from another region

[urban siren]

but this brought more attention to the monkeys
simisear even got a tcg art by the chiikawa creator

[zenith jackal]

I personally just want more gen 4 pokemon thats all i am asking the only gen 4 pokemon i dont want is Finneon to be honest

[placid briar]

ill tkae a Vespiquen

[zenith jackal]

Yea if we won...

[potent sorrel]

Vespiquen would be fun
It does mean Beedrill will prolly lose the signature moves from Vespiquen tho

[placid briar]

i wonder what the top 2 poke for Eerald would be

[potent sorrel]

See i thought it was Gogoat but apparently im wrong

[placid briar]

gogoat has vocal likers

but the pop poll had Vikavolt as the favorite

[potent sorrel]

Gogoat has whole mini events and a large community

[lament matrix]

Why not Finneon

[lament matrix]

We also have haters that threaten to hurt and kill us

And ALOT of people, even influencial ones on the server dislike it a lot
Like Hero.Drawing

[zenith jackal]

Idk its a forgettable gen 4 pokemon and didnt grow up with it even if its gen 4

[crude cedar]

I love gogoat, but I prefer the gimmick of riding it in the overworld. That can't be done in PIF, so I have no problem if it doesn't get in

[potent sorrel]

I just dont like it cause of trying to complete Sinnoh dex
It was the one Pokémon I hadn't seen and it took me like 30 minutes to find one

(In terms of Lumineon)

[crude cedar]

I only remembered Lumineon because of that French NPC trainer. Outside of that its forgettable

[zenith jackal]

Yea now you mention it i dont remember it in the games or anime thats probably why i dont like it

[placid briar]

i loved finneon when i first saw it

its design was very cute- & it stayed a fav since

even if i dont really use it

only 2 playthroughs with it

[signal nexus]

i never got a chance to use escavalier and accelgor so i wanna use them in PIF

[lament matrix]

If we are really lucky frog allows Gogoat skins for the bikes, maybe to acess the mix bike

[signal nexus]

there's only one line on my active dislike list and it's because i hate snot

[signal nexus]

worm ed from access

[cedar quest]

oops

fixed

[signal nexus]

allowed now

[placid briar]

I want to see data

I want to test soething- can anyone fro Sapphire help out

[slow gyro]

I don’t hate the goat, I would give it a 2

There are way better options

But it’s alright I guess

Also would make you happy and that’s good enough

The thing was that, with team Emerald being so big, team Ruby was the underdog

So we needed to defeat the goat

[lament matrix]

Tbf it was obvious that we have 99% of people who dont do anything
We maybe had what? 25 people who did stuff

[whole arrow]

Minimalist Propaganda be like

[whole arrow]

body too big needa redo

[mighty stump]

Ooh that's a fun idea maybe I'll minimalist propaganda...

[whole arrow]

[lament matrix]

We already have Slugma

[mighty stump]

Slugma doesn't have nudibranch sea slug epicness

Slugma is just lava

[signal nexus]

“Just lava”

[mighty stump]

Lava with eyes

And a mouth

[signal nexus]

Just boring ol’ mundane lava

[mighty stump]

Yep

[signal nexus]

Slugma/gastrodon
Do it

[mighty stump]

Everyday I step outside there's just some boring ol magma everywhere

I have to keep buying new clothes because I keep tripping onto the lava and my clothes burn away

[mighty stump]

That would be pretty epic

[whole arrow]

Yr right thats why im voting Araquanid for the sake of the Underwater Exploration Program

So we need Durant fr fr

🤔 when i made this comment, voting closed on Sunday at noon (my time)

[signal nexus]

When did you check?

[cloud solstice]

yesterday

[signal nexus]

I have a timestamped comment!
Well, this deadline was present at 2130 my time, at least

[tame egret]

Unsure why they pushed it back

[cloud solstice]

oh yeah I can see that the announcement got edited yesterday actually

[cloud solstice]

maybe so it doesn't overlapp with the sapphire one? also I think the poll started after the sapphire one so maybe so ppl have the same amount of tim

[lament matrix]

Oh maybe they changed Emeruby so that the reveals arent overlapping

[gusty frost]

hmm so we are gonne have a reveal today

make sense so people who vote on saphire winner change their vote

[elder topaz]

and dont forget nymphia's propaganda :3

vote for pidove please :((

[lament matrix]

Already a 3

[sly shuttle]

It could be a 4

[lament matrix]

Nah gotta stay true to the turtle

[signal nexus]

this is really good propaganda, and i'm not just saying it because i like unfezant
giving examples of ways to incorporate the trickier elements of the head and body, especially ways to differentiate it from other bird bodies 👌

[elder topaz]

yeah, i'm more a overexplainer

[signal nexus]

like, the monkey advocates should take notes

[elder topaz]

while tranquill LOOKS a bit weird, its elements DO have places to go somewhere.

it has those eyebrow lines which can be used for decor, and the mullet could be used for other fun stuff.

Also, their feather patterns are pretty cool too.

[signal nexus]

want to legit sell me on the monkeys? give me examples of clear body differentiation

[elder topaz]

or, if looking at unfezant/anorith, you could make really cool smug-looking masked fusions that... aren't roserade

and to differentiate Unfezant M and F bodies, the mask helps a LOT

because Male has a mask, you can mess with that. the Female has none, and allows for more freedom because it doesn't have the mask to design on

i could honestly see Tranquill be used by NTM to make a guy with a mullet

[mystic mauve]

clearly they're targetting base spriters

[elder topaz]

the problem with the monkeys is that

while the ADULTS are fine to differentiate

... the babies are just not.

dont get me wrong i love simisage and pansear but

[tidal panther]

But grunt wants shiinotic

[elder topaz]

the pans really do a bad job at being helpful in it 🥲

[sacred flicker]

Sage will let you give something a Pompadour, Pour has a unique example of Flowing Blue Hair, and Sear has a Cloudlike Collar with Wavy Hair on both the Head and the Tail.

[signal nexus]

the pans are like if pidove had three tranquills but even worse

[sacred flicker]

If you want to talk about the Pans, then each Hairstyle is something kinda unique that we don't have.

[elder topaz]

the problem is with the bodies

which are in shape close to identical

[signal nexus]

give me three pidgeot/pan sprites
differentiate them all

[elder topaz]

the big guys differentiate themselves, but the babies just... cant.

[signal nexus]

i mean, if plusle and minun + silcoon and cascoon are doable, then the monkeys are
but... why would i inflict that on myself

[elder topaz]

Say, i make Cacturne/Pan(Pour/Sear/Sage). Cacturne has a hat, so it replaces the bush/hairdos

How will i recognize them easily now without looking at great details?

[elder topaz]

i still hate silcoon and cascoon bodies

i have my own silcoon and cascoon and i did NOT like making cascoon.

[signal nexus]

[sacred flicker]

Each Tail is unique. And they also have different patterns on the Bodies themselves: Pansage has Normal Pants, Pansear has a Jagged Edge while wearing it Higher, and Panpour wears a Shirt.

[elder topaz]

however, the problem, again, lies in that the head pokemon does bring details.

Say my previous example of Cacturne.

[sly shuttle]

Those are the kinds of differences that fusions of the same mon should make

[elder topaz]

Cacturne has the diamond shapes on the body. those will also just override whatever the bodies have.

Cacturne doesn't have a tail.

so the tail may or may not go.

Then what's left?

[sacred flicker]

The Color Patterns

[elder topaz]

how do you recognize the monkeys? its just the ears left in that case.

[sacred flicker]

And the Eyes

[elder topaz]

.... on a cacturne head?

we're talking about the pans as bodies, not as head mons

[signal nexus]

skirt?
you sure that's not a crop top?
EDIT: nvm you corrected the typo

[elder topaz]

simipour has a skirt

[signal nexus]

nah, it was a typo. they corrected it to shirt

[elder topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/abbycats-cobblemon-whatever-meme-whatever-gif-whatever-go-my-scarab-gif-13308397486023366011

[sacred flicker]

If it's Cacturne Head, then both the Tail and Ears would stay. Letting differences still be present

[sacred flicker]

That's the Anime, we're talking about the Sprites.

[sacred flicker]

What Typo? The only thing I changed was that I added more description to Pansear's Difference

[lament matrix]

Even here all eyes work diffrent

[signal nexus]

i will say, people were already disappointed that East and West sea gastrodon would be separated
killed some enthusiasm because of the reduced creativity potential

[signal nexus]

mb. i must've misread on my end, then

[sly shuttle]

Still
They are weak fusion material if part of the difference relies on what the eyes are doing

[sacred flicker]

Anyways, what next thing are you going to say?

[elder topaz]

Silcoon and Cascoon bodies lmfao

[signal nexus]

like, the monkeys are certainly doable, but that doesn't mean they'll be enjoyable

[lament matrix]

I mean the eyes of a Pokemon can say a lot what mon it is

[sly shuttle]

Silcoon and Cascoon didn’t have advocates

[signal nexus]

like, while vikavolt wasn't my top choice, it absolutely has fusion potential and all members of the line have potential as heads and bodies

[elder topaz]

for example, Heracross/###coon is the same sprite apart form the eyes. should all pans have the same eye expressions solely for the sake of readability? even if a pokemon would not have eyes at all, like, say, Zubat?

[signal nexus]

i can totally see someone vigorously advocating for vikavolt
but the monkeys?

[signal nexus]

yeye, show me some examples of pan body sprites

[sacred flicker]

And? The Oricorios are almost the same case for this stuff. If the differences are Minor outside of Visual Patterns/Styles, then they are going to be the same according to you guys. But we're perfectly fine with them. So why can't we accept the same for the Pans?

[elder topaz]

pokemon without eyes, tails, or that are by default usually clean-shaven (kakuna or Voltorb, for example) will have a hard time differentiating themselves from each other.

[elder topaz]

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

hold on.

[signal nexus]

Yes, that’s why oricorio bodies are less popular to sprite than the heads
And I do think they should’ve been one Pokémon

[elder topaz]

you can clearly tell these apart. Granted, these aren't the greatest most inspired fusions, but you can TELL these oricorios apart pretty easily without the need for checking the details

[sacred flicker]

Okay. Now show some real sprites for Oricorio Bodies, rather than Basic Autogens

[elder topaz]

but yeah, oriciorio's kind of a bitch to sprite

[elder topaz]

......

[sly shuttle]

Yes
The oriciorios definitely have the exact same situation as the monkeys
It’s not like their silhouettes are far more distinct and their designs are way more interesting

[elder topaz]

...

[sacred flicker]

...Now that's just confusing.

[elder topaz]

this is autogen pompom for example

okay, to take a different example

[sacred flicker]

Apologies. It looked a little off because the Head was in the exact same position in every single one with the same shading.

[sacred flicker]

Now that is much clearer, and a stronger example. But even so, it shows how the point isn't that the Bodies look similar normally, it's that it can have distinctive variation due to the creative Designs people make for them.

[elder topaz]

the thing is, Oricorio has clear elements to manipulate; Pansage/Sear/Pour dont have that many things to get creative with in comparison

like, i can imagine something for Pansage, say, voltorb grows pokeballs on the tree.

I cannot imagine much for the other two

[whole arrow]

Skill issue.

[tulip tusk]

I think for consistency, it makes sense for the monkeys to all be different mons (plusle/minun is my main point)

I do think they'd be shit to sprite for though, they have NOTHING to work with other than their typing

[sacred flicker]

Not entirely. They still have the various shapes on their Tails and Hairdos

And on top of that, we could always take inspiration from what they're based off of

[tulip tusk]

that's the issue though, it limits their design possibilities since they'd need to keep those elements to be readable

the oricorios have more unique traits to be worked with imo

[sly shuttle]

What makes monkeys better than literally any other option?

[elder topaz]

another example

[sacred flicker]

Because with Monkeys, we get their Evolutions, and can make a Triple Fusion out of them.

[elder topaz]

or:

[elder topaz]

????????????????????????????

we are not getting the triple monkeys

triples have been reserved to legendary trios, mythicals, and starters

[sacred flicker]

The Simis are drastically different from one another, and Frog genuinely said that Monkeys would get a Triple Fusion if we somehow voted for them to get in.

[sacred flicker]

Nope. Remember, Triple Hitmons was going to be a thing.

[elder topaz]

and is it here?

[sacred flicker]

Nope, but everyone had a strong desire for it to exist back then.

My point being, Triple Fusions can just be of Trios as well

[placid briar]

with hoenn i think Frog is finally going to impliment the other triples

[elder topaz]

......... and they... still don't exist over 6 years later or so?

[placid briar]

so we';; finally see the hitmons and the eevees

[signal nexus]

I think we have word from the dev he’d be open to a monkey throuple

[elder topaz]

PFFFF

[placid briar]

the monkey trouple is just simispark

[tulip tusk]

i dont care for the monkey throuple like theyre cool and all but their base designs would make for boring fusions
sorry oh ok homophobic arc or something </3 (/j)

[idle forge]

An unfinished example

[sacred flicker]

Or if we use their Inspirations, it could be Simiscribe

[elder topaz]

wait

what would their name even be

simisimisimi?

panpanpan

[placid briar]

SagePourSear

[signal nexus]

Actually, let me amend this. I think it’d be cool to have oricorio fusions that draw inspiration from different dance types… but that’d probably be really hard to recognize as oricorio in fusions

[elder topaz]

pansearpoursage

[signal nexus]

The regi throuple still isn’t regiregiregi 😔

[sacred flicker]

"Simisurge"

s from sear, ur from pour, and ge from sage.

And by similar logic, the Pre-Evolution could be "Pansurge"

[rough kindle]

I'm not gonna sprite monkey bases I don't like them that much. there are better mons to do stuff for

[signal nexus]

Yeah^
They’re doable, but not necessarily enjoyable

[placid briar]

time to make a new spriter account to battle people in the muesuem as Sage Fuser

and all the sprites he makes are all Simisages

[signal nexus]

I advocate for pidove and I fully expect others to not be stoked over having another Normal/Flying bird body
That’s why I praised Duke’s propaganda

[sacred flicker]

And for the Hitmons, it could be "Hitmonchople"

The ch from chan, the op from top, and the le from lee

Heh. And it's even a Pun because of Chople Berry

[placid briar]

But LeChop

[sly shuttle]

Hitmonlechop is funnier while also making more sense

[signal nexus]

Which brings me back to the start: you want to sell me on the monkeys? Show me how good they are

[sacred flicker]

How so?

[sly shuttle]

Lee comes before Chan in dex order

[astral niche]

55 mins left

[tidal panther]

Dawn of the final hour

[sacred flicker]

East Sea and West Sea are being made Separate Pokemon, so you'd have to find a way to sell yourself on Shellos if you want Gastrodon.

Though, even then, Gastrodons aren't that good either since it'd just be a Color Difference.

[sly shuttle]

You haven’t been arguing for Gastrodon for the past hour

[sacred flicker]

No, but at least the Monkeys have more differences than the Gastrodons & Shellos.

[signal nexus]

Side note: if wishiwashi schooled heads don’t allow for bigger bodies what are you even doing. The entire point is that it’s a bunch of wussy fish coming together to make a big-ass fish shape. How can a bunch of wussy ‘mons come together to make a ‘mon of the same size. Are they creating a black hole?

[signal nexus]

I didn’t want East and West Seas to be separated

[astral niche]

Do they have different abilities?

[signal nexus]

Separate seas will be doable, but it definitely killed my enthusiasm

[astral niche]

Do they have different moves ?

[astral niche]

Same

[sacred flicker]

At least the Monkeys have Differences in how their Stats and stuff work.

I like the head but the rest has volcanion vibes

[rough kindle]

I personally love heatmore. it is actually one of my fav pokemon

unterrated

[rapid knot]

It would be a good body pokemon

But I don't particularly want to put brown pipes and vertical yellow stripes on a lot of fusions

[cyan gull]

Fire lash user

[signal nexus]

I think the furnace potential is great for head fusions
We can even put the stripes and pipes in non-pajama-looking places

Anyway, I hope unfezant isn’t split by gender

[rapid knot]

Our only basis for gender splits in pif is nidoran

So I don't know what would happen

I like Pidove

just pidove

[whole arrow]

I never noticed the freaky crotch tubes before

[rough kindle]

as long as the stats are not different in any way I don't see a reason for a split just because of the gender

[rapid knot]

I'm not super duper excited for tranquil or unfeazant

But I like Pidove

[rough kindle]

which is also why I don't understand the gastrodon split but

swanna could make for some pretty elegant fusions. then again... reshiram might fill that spot to a fair amount already lol

unfezant being split would be way better than gastrodon being split

I'm still mourning that Sawsbuck and Gastrodon were on separate teams

There are a lot of splits that Frog would like that aren't very feasible at this point in time

[quartz pebble]

If groudons a balarina what would kyogre and raquaza be

[signal nexus]

Also ballerinas

Ballerinae

So he's probably going to be more inclined to having splits from the start of its addition as that's easier to undo if needed

I'm not a good basis of comparison for popular choices
With that said, vote monkeys

Silcoon and cascoon I can see saying that for

But then people love it as well

[quartz pebble]

I don't like ducklet but I don't hate them either, just a really meh Pokemon

[signal nexus]

That’s what I mean
I want one burmy. one wormadam.

[quartz pebble]

Yeah meh exactly

[cedar quest]

My least fav is someone elses' pick

[rapid knot]

The whole Hoenn addition helped with our average mon deficit

[jagged hinge]

Wait what, why

[lament matrix]

I cant agree on that (except Wormadam bods)

[rapid knot]

The problem with that is that the three Wormadam are different types

[cedar quest]

Unlike Gastro, the cloaks do have gameplay differences and would be split.

I do agree that it'd be hard to distinguish Worma bodies from each-other

But since they are different types

It would have to be that way

[signal nexus]

Yeah, but it’d suck to sprite the differences.
Sil/cas plus/minus hell

[cedar quest]

True

[rapid knot]

So, the voting is closed now, right?

[jagged hinge]

I dont see the problem aslong as someone doesnt color change

It’s just them being a package deal that’s a problem

Nope

I don't even have that data

I think emeruby votes close tomorrow

[rapid knot]

Aww

[cedar quest]

It's as much a surprise to me

As it'll be to you

Unless I get asked to post/write it

In which case

It'll be only a slight difference in surprise

[jagged hinge]

Will the monkeys be last or will people voting for underdogs give them a boost

wormadam bodies do actually have a few differences, might be hard to express all of them with a single head mon though, without them just being recolors

Sil/cas hell

[rapid knot]

I am hoping for these ones

[jagged hinge]

Fish is so cool!

[quartz pebble]

Wait hold up they are awesome

[lament matrix]

I fear all similiar mons to get the Plusle/Minun treatment

[errant yarrow]

I voted for them, Escavalier would make really cool head fusions

[rapid knot]

Buizel and Blitzel probably won't win, but they're cool

[jagged hinge]

I also gave it my 4!

[errant yarrow]

actually both would make cool head fusions

[lament matrix]

ant

[jagged hinge]

Ant would also be soooo cool

[long basin]

definitely better than sil/cas though, you guys do realize theres a clear difference with all of them, right?

[quartz pebble]

I might still be stuck in the Christmas mood but those 2 together sound like rejected reindeer names

[long basin]

like these are way better than a lot of the other hard-to-tell mons

Sapphire vote closed today, yes.

[jagged hinge]

It would probably also come with heatmore as a nice bonus

Haven’t sprited the Mimikyu one

Less likely than you think, though

I think maybe the only other person that might have the data is Pory, and he wouldn't tell

Fine. East/West hell. Bird body hell

[signal nexus]

Not you

[slow gyro]

I did

[lament matrix]

I feel those problems (even tho I did such a duo too once)
Something I personally have is I dont want Wishiwashi cuz ingame (if not changed) the head fusions for single and swarm have the same size and look stupid AF

[lament matrix]

y again

[rapid knot]

Now Rapidash! Now Pancham! Now Milcery and Vulpix! On Combusken, on Buizel, on Blitzen and Rhydon!

[signal nexus]

They absolutely should not have the same size and anyone who argues they should is objectively wrong and doesn’t understand the concept

[slow gyro]

I’ve told you before we’ll probably just allow Wishi school heads to be Kaiju size

[quartz pebble]

True wishwashi would be hard to sprite I just love the guy

[rough kindle]

I'm so happy when the green/red names are gone 😂 they give me vertigo

[slow gyro]

Stop spreading misinformation as if it was official

[lament matrix]

I want something official my friend

[jagged hinge]

What if we got the mon that got the mosts 2’s in the vote just to be quirky

[rapid knot]

How will you decide how big is too big?

[quartz pebble]

I know you've sat there for 5 mins thinking up all that rhydon is genius though

[slow gyro]

Then wait for the Mon to be in the game we can’t do anything until it’s actually something to be dealt with

[signal nexus]

I’d be okay with that

[lament matrix]

Also I said if not changed

[long basin]

its the head pokemon for a reason. maybe big school heads wont be alted, but normal school heads definitely shouldnt be discouraged. look at mons like tyrantrum that take up the entire canvas its such a non-issue either way

[slow gyro]

Idk we’ll figure it out once we get there

[lament matrix]

I hope one day that a vote gives us the least popular

[rapid knot]

Most of the five minutes was me looking up the original reindeer names because I couldn't remember them

[rapid knot]

That's how we got Bruxish

[slow gyro]

Either make them big as Gourgeist sprites in game, or allow Kaiju size, we’ll figure it out once it gets in

[quartz pebble]

Hey if Ridley got into smash bros kaiju wishiwashi can get into IF. Never let height hold you back

[rapid knot]

Nobody voted for it and Frog thought that was funny

[lament matrix]

Was it last or did just many vocally hate on it

[rapid knot]

Gourgeist sprites enlarge the image rather than using extra canvas space, though

[slow gyro]

Yea, that’s one option

And the other is making the sprite bigger from the beginning

We have those to options

And either could work

If we get the Mon, we will figure it out

[jagged hinge]

Joltik heads tend to be a bit smaller than regular fusions and mons like regigigas tend to be a bit bigger so that could work

[quartz pebble]

I am a fan of kaijuwashi personally

[slow gyro]

Personally I think making it Kaiju size is a better option

[signal nexus]

Fun perspective tricks for already huge ‘mons
Everyone learns from ntm

[rapid knot]

And this is your official statement as a Sprite Manager?

[long basin]

not a great solution imo

[jagged hinge]

Using the pumpkaboo system could be nice

[slow gyro]

My official statement is that we will figure it out if we get it in the game

[jagged hinge]

We can do a poll or smt idk

[signal nexus]

The alternative doesn’t make sense lorewise

aromatisse needs to get in so I can make cool birds with pale masks

I’m just saying that you shouldn’t be worried about School forms and regular forms being the same size

I think the best chance are for tynamo, wishiwashi, gothitelle, gastrodon, and maybe drampa or dragalge if the silent majority wants Dragons above all else

🤔 actually, which line’s the best competitively?

[tame egret]

as fusions or just as themselves?

[signal nexus]

Uhhhh whatever quality got jang in

[tame egret]

because gastrodon has storm drain, wishiwashi has like no competitive viability, gothitelle has shadow tag which is crazy but also no one really wants to use it because it only really works for perish trap which doesn't work most of the time, uhhhh

[jade chasm]

wishiwashi fans when they realize they have to sprite more fish bodies:

I just want someone to tell me the results will be announced on Monday so I don’t have to fret

[signal nexus]

That said, I can see that happening. Woobat’s still on the ballot for polling reasons and they’re collecting data about preferences, so it’d make sense not to give emeruby time to change their ballots

[astral niche]

but the question is why did they give emeruby an extra day when it was the same time yesterday

[tame egret]

probably because emeruby started later and people didn't expect it so thought about their choice less

[signal nexus]

I thought voting opened later for emeruby

[tame egret]

so it gives them more time to think as well as for the staff team to process the votes and so people can change their bonus points after the sapphire mon is announced

[signal nexus]

Oh, it didn’t open later; the team just was formed later. I see

[tame egret]

no the vote did open later as well i think

[jagged hinge]

Yummy hotdog, not a plant

[echo peak]

If it had pink it'd have Gastrodon colors

is this a premonition of what's to come?

[signal nexus]

getting beaten by what?

[whole arrow]

Emeruby

[placid briar]

man, i have to wait a month before i an do my horror woobat idea

[signal nexus]

do it and keep it in your back pocket

[signal nexus]

like... in numbers or?

[whole arrow]

Isn't the whole point of having two votes that we're battling or something

Or we just getting two lines

[signal nexus]

two lines. one from Sapphire's vote and one from Emeruby's vote

[whole arrow]

Oh

I thought Emeruby could override our vote if they voted powerfully enough in the same direction

[tidal panther]

what

[signal nexus]

that would be interesting, certainly

wonder what stats will be released from the votes

top five and bottom five, probably

[whole arrow]

T H E A N A L Y T I C S

[signal nexus]

which line that didn't win got the most 4s

not sure if we'd be able to get change in preference compared to the previous vote

how the monkeys and burmy did

given they do have usernames, it'd also be interesting to see how to votes play out for people who participated in the event vs those who didn't

[gusty frost]

they are really manually checking

[placid briar]

i know the question to ask "What your favorite pokemon " counts as a 4 vote for a mon, but imagine if Frog did that just to add the fan favorite/least favorite of the bunch

yeah its another line but he can do whatever

[cedar quest]

No lol

[signal nexus]

lol

[jade chasm]

they should add gulpin i think

[cedar quest]

deja vu

[rapid knot]

Team Sapphire and Team Emeruby are each adding a separate line. People who did not interact in the Fusion Day event by joining a team do not have any vote. If Team Emeruby chooses the same Pokémon as Team Sapphire, the team's result that is announced second will get their second-place selection rather than their matching first.

[slate otter]

[signal nexus]

which team will be announced second? 🤔

probably Sapphire's should get their second choice if it comes to that, yeah? since they're the winning team?

[icy jasper]

tomorrow will be chaos

(that is if results get revealed as soon as they end tomorrow)

[slow gyro]

Hope we get Wishi and Dragalgue

[long basin]

im predicting the future: we're actually getting toxicroak and araquanid

i wish wishiwashi won

[slow gyro]

I’d be really happy with them honestly

But Wishi would be sick

And I hope Dragalgue for Vince

[signal nexus]

hopefully we can get it in so everyone can learn how to spell it

[visual ibex]

we don't need no dargagle

[icy jasper]

2 dragon types for tomorrow

[signal nexus]

i'm cool with dragalge, and i know some folks do like drampa, so

[jade chasm]

we have more dragons than we do fighting types , and dark, and steel

[signal nexus]

also true 😌
accelgor and escavalier gets us four bugs and a steel type

i think purrlolin is the only Dark option, and i haven't seen any hype for her 🤔

and then croagunk and crabrawler get us Fighting

[jade chasm]

i need to check how many final evos by type

[icy jasper]

Is that how many we have currently

[signal nexus]

don't forget proportionally
we are only missing one Ghost line that's not legendaryish of some sort

[jade chasm]

frillish and dekadooey

[signal nexus]

frillish and what

[jade chasm]

4 dragons, 9 ice types, 11 fairy

[signal nexus]

what's a dekadooey

[icy jasper]

Decidueye perhaps(?)

[signal nexus]

oooooh
doing the Jackspedicey treatment

[jade chasm]

10 dark

[signal nexus]

i keep forgetting decidueye in these
probably because of its special status as a starter

[icy jasper]

would you rather:

🇦 Have an ice type win the poll
🇧 Have a water type win the poll

[mighty stump]

I'm locked into B because of my favorite but I would not mind two of the ice types we have on the chart

[merry mica]

11 hours remain

[slow gyro]

We need Crabominable then

[jade chasm]

yeah fuck it

[signal nexus]

i wonder how many people will take the opportunity to immediately sprite Falkor

[signal nexus]

i wouldn't mind avalugg
though not sure if the body would just become another torterra, or how else spriters will utilize it 🤔

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/bergmite-pokemon-ice-type-happy-gif-18064128279628828339

I think bergmite is really cute

Look at them spin :D

[signal nexus]

i bet you could totally do ice cream fusions with it 🤔

i know vanillite's on the ballot, but that Middle Evo Syndrome, man

[visual ibex]

anything but dargurgle 🙏 , it's the least solosis-able

[mighty stump]

Dar-wha?

[icy jasper]

Dragalge?

[signal nexus]

well good thing you dislike dargurgle, which i've never heard of, and not dragalge, my leafy sea dragon bb

[signal nexus]

darmanitan

[mighty stump]

Got it

[visual ibex]

dargurgle, dragalagal... same thing~

[signal nexus]

you say that, but i keep having to catch myself writing tympole when i'm talking about tynamo

i bet dargurgle could be a real pokemon
like a Poison type gargoyle or smth

spits poison water (or acid rain?) at its enemies

[signal nexus]

maybe some Ability to turn Water moves into Poison (or Water and Poison, a la Hawlucha's Flying Press being both Flying and Fighting)

either Poison/Rock type or Rock/Poison type

[visual ibex]

dargoyle

[hushed stream]

is there a gargoyle pokemon? that would go hard

[visual ibex]

druddigon would be the closest I think

[icy jasper]

double ping jumpscare

[slate otter]

Hey pory

[slate otter]

Could U invite xillo to the hideout I was going to last night but found out I can't send invites to ppl for some reason

[astral niche]

How many hours left for emerald ruby?

[slate otter]

Yes.

[merry mica]

7 hours remain

[astral niche]

5 hours left

[mighty stump]

[gusty frost]

I thought they would postpone the emeruby one so they could reveal saphire first

[slate otter]

Emeruby please vote simipour 3

[merry mica]

5 hours remain

[astral niche]

well emeruby was psotponed by a day already. I think that the amphibian wants to announce both of them at the same time

[signal nexus]

assuming they want to reveal Sapphire first

[astral niche]

4 hours remain

[urban siren]

i hope the reveals will be soon ~~so i can draw gardevoirs for the new mons ~~

[signal nexus]

why not draw them all? that way there's a guarantee you'll get them

...i wanna see how you wishiwashi gardevoir

[mighty stump]

Not to sway the vote that I can't really sway because our team vote is done, but Gastrodon Gardevoir would be pretty cool...

[quartz pebble]

Last minute voters just remember how cool wishiwashi is and they'd make some awesome swarm fusions

https://tenor.com/view/wishiwashi-pokemon-totem-gif-25585279

[mighty stump]

If they get in, I will be very interested in how people sprite the schooling form

[minor garnet]

I would be more interested in non schooling form

Wishiwashi solo is such a nothingburger

[quartz pebble]

Would make some funny fish fusions non schooling

[mighty stump]

Wishiwashi solo would be easy to make a fusion for (for me anyway), small simple fish with big silly teary eyes

[quartz pebble]

I just need an ultra necrozma + wishiwashi with a bunch of mirror images for the schooling form

[mighty stump]

Wishiwashi schooling sounds like a challenge that I'm sure would give cool results but I personally wouldn't know how to go about spriting an entire school of fish for each fusion

So I want to see what other spriters do with that

[echo peak]

3 hours...

[gaunt lava]

Wishiwashi-school bodies would be very... interesting

[signal nexus]

bunch of tiny groudon fish forming a bigger groudon fish

[heavy escarp]

1 morbillion groudons

[gaunt lava]

The way I see it, groudon is surrounded. What's under the groudon? That's right, more groudon

[signal nexus]

🤔 what contenders have you seen surprisingly little hype for?
i don't think i've seen anything for purrloin, avalugg, or carracosta

[slate otter]

Saw like nothing for accelgor

I mentioned it like twice but besides that nada

Saw it in the background of some propaganda but nothing for the duo

[signal nexus]

accelgor alone or as a package deal with escavalier?
because the duo's on my propaganda

[slate otter]

Yeah but that's the extent I've seen

[signal nexus]

interesante

[slate otter]

This one image is all I've seen for them

[signal nexus]

huh. i think i did see some appreciation for escavalier earlier 🤔
the quartet would give us four Bugs, a Steel, and quite distinct bodies and heads

[slate otter]

Fun fact the most we could've had from this event was 17 new Pokemon

6 elemental monkeys
7 burmy forms
4 trading bugs

[quartz pebble]

I would rather have less pokemon than have 𝕓𝕦𝕣𝕞𝕪 get in the game

I do like the monkeys though, the bugs I'm indifferent

[slate otter]

Did U vote them 3?

[quartz pebble]

2

And the bugs 1

[slate otter]

Close enough

[quartz pebble]

Basically all the alola pokemon + some others I voted 3

[signal nexus]

quality > quantity

[quartz pebble]

Which is why I dont want 𝕓𝕦𝕣𝕞𝕪

[signal nexus]

burmy would actually give us most diversity type-wise
but, y'know
it's burmy

[slate otter]

Why do you say 𝕓𝕦𝕣𝕞𝕪 with a accent
