This competition is just going to only have one winner. There are no workarounds that will be conclusive and there's no point in getting upset about it. It was a mix-up of information between me and BTA where I simply hadn't informed him what was going on, and he didn't realise the way to do the preliminary rounds was different. Nothing can change about this poll, so just vote for the finals and we'll have an overall winner.

There's no current guarantee or really anything yet that this mod would be added to the base game, but it is entirely possible. However, in the event that it isn't these sprites can still be used in the base game.

We’ve never gone over this
misty acorn
I had no idea that galarian moltres was black and red. I think I will use him just because those colours are epic
fallow bough
I mean, I'd rather there were minimal collaborations for competitions, and those were saved for the team competitions.
Since not everyone who places a pixel on a sprite is getting an award for it unless it was a team effort in a team competition. Otherwise whoever did more of the sprite would be the one who got it.
burnt bane
Do I just... fuse a mon with another mon that has a regional variant, and use that variant in the fusion?
@fallow bough is this the idea?
naive summit
thats my understanding of it
fallow bough
Yeah.
naive summit
but then, the example fuses two mons with regional variants so
that's a little confusing
ashen star
Since not everyone who places a pixel on a sprite is getting an award for it unless it was a team effort in a team competition. Otherwise whoever did more of the sprite would be the one who got it.
@fallow bough but what if it was truly equal?
fallow bough
So if you did Rattata/Sentret then you'd use Alolan Rattata, and if you did Rattata/Zigzagoon you could use Alolan Rattata and Galarian Zigzagoon, or just one of either.
naive summit
I think what he's trying to say is you can't submit them as a pair
its not a team competition
crude cedar
So we just name it after the numbers of the regular forms, correct?
fallow bough
@fallow bough but what if it was truly equal?
@ashen star I'd make the pairing pick who did more and give that person the win. It's not a team competition.
naive summit
even if the work was 'truly equal' you'd only be able to submit it under one name
ashen star
ok ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wishing there was Sawsbuck in the game as I'd submit this honse.
ashen star
:/
wind topaz
We should specify that the fusions have to be in the game for this one because they’re being made for this mod
crude cedar
Sawsbuck is such a good pokemon to fuse with. The forms have so much potential.
fallow bough
Sawsbuck's formes are the most different thing between Spring, Summer, and Autumn in Black and White.
But since it doesn't change type or anything it would be good for fusing, as you could use whichever season you felt like.
crude cedar
And I love them all. My favourite is the Autumn form.
fallow bough
I always liked the Summer form.
naive summit
I collected Deerling forms in dif pokeballs in gen 6/7. Was kinda fun. You could only get them by transferring up from gen 5 caught ones.
wind topaz
Pokémon who have different forms that don’t affect stats or typing or anything would be fun to fuse with because you could use whatever form for the sprite and the normal sprite wouldn’t have to change in the game
misty acorn
thats why deoxys and rotom will be epic when they get added
naive summit
deoxys and rotom affect stats/typing though
misty acorn
still
crude cedar
Is Deoxys not in the game?
misty acorn
not yet, but both were on frogmans list
crude cedar
Oh nice. I've fused almost every eeveelution with the deoxys form that corresponds with their highest stat.
fallow bough
Edited the post to say that only things in the game will be accepted for this competition.
wind topaz
thats why deoxys and rotom will be epic when they get added
@misty acorn They have different stats and typing, that’s literally the opposite of what I said would be good
fallow bough
Didn't think it needed a ping since I think anyone who had previously read the rules is here just now.
misty acorn
yeah, might not have read your post that carefully...
fallow bough
I mean, I don't really care if the rules are read or not.
I'm happy to not include anything that just doesn't follow the rules. 👀
If it isn't subjective, and it's just flat-out a "does something I said not to", I have no qualms. 🙏
crude cedar
How many entries is it per person?
fallow bough
Did you find the one thing I didn't mention in the rules and call me out on it? 👀
Man, I guess I don't read them either if I forgot something like that. 😅
Three entries per person.
naive summit
You've become what you hated most
crude cedar
Oh sorry. Thank you!
fallow bough
No problem. That one's on me.
crude cedar
Shoot. I'm really stuck as to what to submit for my second entry. I've fused all of the Galarian birds with the Hoenn starters and I'm trying to choose one.
wind topaz
You only get 3 entries, if you made those 3, that’s it. Or am I misunderstanding?
crude cedar
I've already submitted one entry is the problem.
And I'm pretty satisfied with that entry because I've only just made it.
wind topaz
Why not just submit the other 2 Galar bird fusions?
crude cedar
Because my first entry isn't a Galarian bird and I'm not sure which one (or two) of the birds to submit because I like them all.
I'm so indecisive when it comes to this type of thing.
wind topaz
Show them, or dm me and I’ll judge them if you don’t want to reveal them to the public
crude cedar
It's alright. I've decided to get my Instagram followers to decide for me! Thank you for the offer though!

Ok, I have a sprite that I want to submit but it's a mega zard used. Can I still submit it as a regular zard and say the other Pokémon added some elements to it or should I edit it so then the colours and stuff are more similar to regular zard?

I dont like the design of most regional forms and that doesnt help

Ok, I have a sprite that I want to submit but it's a mega zard used. Can I still submit it as a regular zard and say the other Pokémon added some elements to it or should I edit it so then the colours and stuff are more similar to regular zard?
You can still use the Mega and count it as normal. Some existing designs (including some of my own) use Megas. 🙂
crude cedar
Ok sick! I'll resubmit it then! I submitted a sprite before but was worried that because I'd used the mega, it wouldn't count.
placid briar
So megas are supported for this mod?
misty acorn
nah, megas dont exist in the game and so people sometimes use them for fusions, since why not
placid briar
I meant the mod bot fusions
If the mod doesnt support megas then using a mega would invalidate it, wouldnt it?

Not really, existing designs already use Megas and Megas aren't in the base game. It adds more variety. 😄

I think swapping out Flying for their secondary typings would have been way better. 🙂
Especially Zapdos, I want an Electric/Fighting Pokémon. Zeraora should have been one too. 😢
nova nebula
the point of a regional is that it changes drastically, you know?
at least type wise
normal to dark, ground to ice
fire to ice, even
designs maybe don't change as much
quartz locust
Not really, about half of them keep an original typing. 😅
nova nebula
but if the types didn't change so much, why adapt at all?
quartz locust
Like Rattata and Zigzagoon just get Dark, Exeggutor swaps Psychic for Dragon and so on. 😦
I like more unique type combos more, and all the types for the birds were kind of a letdown to me. 😢
fallow bough
@fallow bough are the new regional leyendary birds allowed?
@craggy galleon yeah, anything that isn't a unique evolution to a regional form, like Obstagoon.
wind topaz
But is Obstagoon allowed?
burnt bane
Yes
wind topaz
Rough Muk/Ho-oh concept, I’m going to be making it slimier in the sprite
@fallow bough What is 👀 supposed to mean?
wind topaz
It's just an outline so far
Only the face looks much like Muk right now, and parts of the wings are droopy
charred crescent
Mu-Oh never dies, it rises from the ashes slime
outer prism
so any regional form + an othr poke huh?
compact saddle
or two regionals
wind topaz
And they must be Pokémon in the game
wind topaz
@fallow bough Please put Weezing/Rayquaza in #contest-gallery
wind topaz
Because Ang didn’t
fallen adder
Don't put that on me. It's always been Isaac doing it
fallow bough
No that's on me, I knew I was forgetting something.
Contest gallery is entirely my responsibility.
Although I'm proud of my boy BTA for taking the hit for me.
compact saddle
dont worry isaac, your job is usually much more than other people could do
my man out here being stronk
don do the self blame like i do 
and if it is your fault, just blame it on knuckles, his objection wont matter 
wind topaz
I didn’t make any objection
Although I'm proud of my boy BTA for taking the hit for me. :sad:
@fallow bough He literally said it was your fault, not his
How silly

did you just double sarcasm

No, I just didn’t realize it was sarcasm until you said that and I then noticed the sad emote

@fallow bough can we still post them on the sub though?

Probably
fallow bough
I mean, that just serves the same purpose in that Chippy'll add them to the files.
I know you want your meaningless internet points, but still. 👀
It's up to you though. I can't and won't stop you either way.

thick atlas
what is the current opinion on animated sprites? are they still allowed for the contest?
burnt bane
dunno if it has been asked, but something like rattata x alolan rattata is also allowed right?
quartz locust
what is the current opinion on animated sprites? are they still allowed for the contest?
@thick atlas They're always allowed. 😄
And I'm sure you'd be fine doing something like that, Stan. 😄
thick atlas
nice
devout slate
The only issue with animated sprites is there seems to be some crusade against them atm. So if you're doing them to win, probably not advised.
lime latch
So Meta is overly detailed or funny animated📝
@lime latch
@thick atlas animation should add some flair to it
quartz locust
I don't necessarily think there's a crusade, I think that people just don't think animations mesh well with a game that uses static sprites. Having some animated would be weird. 😅
umbral rune
But even then, you don't need to use an animated version. So, if you dislike the animated versions because they don't "mesh well" then you don't even need to use it
quartz locust
Which is exactly why I wouldn't vote for it. 😉
thick atlas
even if its super cool?
quartz locust
If the design's good that's a different question, but if there's better designs then I'd vote for those. 😅
wind topaz
@lofty aurora Klefki is in now, so it’s fine to submit that sprite
lofty aurora
oh ok
umbral rune
Which is exactly why I wouldn't vote for it. 😉
this doesn't even make sense? but ok
compact saddle
i agree with bla
umbral rune
bruh that doesn't surprise me
you literally make sure you never vote mammuth just because its mammuth
so...
wind topaz
I think the animated ones are typically not very good animation loops
quartz locust
I think most animations are cool, but not only do they not fit in with the mostly static sprites elsewhere, but the animations don't match the Pokémon style either. They're TOO good. 😅
crude cedar
@fallow bough May the next contest be one where we gotta make a fusion using one or more of the new pokemon ? i think this would be very beneficial
umbral rune
seems like an excuse to dislike animations, but whatever
umbral rune
you already asked me today
quartz locust
I mean you can say it's an excuse all you want, doesn't invalidate either point. 😂
compact saddle
you already asked me today
no i have alzheimers
fallow bough
@fallow bough May the next contest be one where we gotta make a fusion using one or more of the new pokemon ? i think this would be very beneficial
@crude cedar I might hold a vote for all of them to see which one people would like to see as a Classic competition.
fallow bough
Depends on what BTA has planned for the next competition whether he might also do that. Or if he even wants to host any more.
quartz locust
If he hosts more please do semifinials again. 😅
fallow bough
That was a mix up of communication, he has nothing against them.
@fallen adder will you be doing a contest after this one?
crude cedar
can i do a contest >:) ?
bold barn
nope

@fallow bough Please put the end date in the Discord message, not just the Reddit post

||also on related note to the contest, I figured out how to make it so in my mod , that regional pokemon can be fused however it is desired||

He found the holy piece of code frogman couldnt find
charred crescent
He found the holy piece of code frogman couldnt find
@lime latch it perhaps might be able to be used to add more pokemon w/o performance drops
bright elk
the secret is, for each sprite he adds, he removes one from the game
and nobody will ever notice, until they do
normal nebula
Im guessing they revert to non-regional after fusing with something incompatible?
lime latch
and nobody will ever notice, until they do
@bright elk bean brain time

@normal nebula no, but after unfusing 👀 ||as of now||

@pastel fog i think it was said to not post contest sprites in the gallery. So they dont mix up with the non-regional-forms.
pastel fog
lime latch
Isnt your corsola a regional
pastel fog
but I posted things like this before the contest as well
and they're in the game already
what should I do with them?
lime latch
Dont know
pastel fog
@fallow bough help :(
my year old Marowak/Dragonite shouldn't exist or what?
I'm SO confused with these rules, even after I read them
also, is it ok to post this sprite in the gallery but not in the contest then?
and will this rule exist after the contest?
and if so, shouldn't it be registered somewhere? in the pinned messages for example
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who made sprites with their regional looks way before the contest
lime latch
I think this apllies only for the current contest
lime latch
I only told you this, because knuckles deleted a contest post yesterday🤷
pastel fog
lol ok
lapis dust
What if some people wanted to use contest sprites for regular sprites? No everybody's going to use the mod..
fallow bough
If the mod is added, Chippy would need to go through the files and remove the regional variants from the base folder and put them in a regional variant folder. Not adding them now is just less work for him if it's added.
However if it's not added, then I said previously that I would see to it myself that they were all added to the base download, and in that instance it would become acceptable to add them to the gallery also.
It's not about me, it's about potentially creating more work for Chippy later on.
pastel fog
ok thanks 👀
so basically we're not uploading them right now so Chippy can separate them more easily?
fallow bough
Potentially if the mod reaches a stage where it can be added, yeah. But we'll need to see how feasible that is.
charred crescent
I'd be willing to hand it (the code/development) completely off to frogman; but as this isnt something he asked me to do and is something I decided to do by myself to find if theres something I could contribute beyond just sprites to the game, I want to try to get it as far as possible on my own first to save frogman work/thinking
wind topaz
I wonder if mammuth will be submitting a contest entry this time
crude cedar
@wheat socket :? Will you?
shrewd field
@wheat socket do a regional Ursaring.
We haven't had a Black Bear yet, so maybe something that gets Dark type?

British Summer Time?
Is Isaac a brit? I did not know that.
umbral rune
Isaac is a brit
mild furnace
ok cool
charred crescent
it doesnt say anything about a maximum entry number, but then again i dont know if there was one set for all contests in general
umbral rune
I think that it is generally 3 entries maximum
But for the double trouble contest, it was 2, maybe that is only because the emphasis on 2?
Now I need to know
I'll wait, I believe BigTimeAng is a brit aswell, don't want to ping him at a trash time
fallow bough
Three entries. I forgot to mention it in the post because I'm not used to people actually reading them, I guess.
compact saddle
i just kinda remembered the rules lol
fallen adder
@umbral rune ye it was 2 partly because of that. The other was to slightly stop so many entries from one person 😅
Also knuckles ping
wind topaz
Still no gallery entry for the last winner
placid briar
good thing i only sent in two
fallow bough
Still no gallery entry for the last winner
Just gonna start ignoring these since I've given my reason and it'll be fixed today. 👀
wind topaz
Ang hasn’t given a reason he can’t do it 😩
fallow bough
He can't do it because it's already done. 😤
charred crescent
there werent any thats why

@wind topaz I can do it. But I said before why I don't. Why are you so annoyingly persistent on this?

there are only 2 real mods currently lol

even the inactive ones are better than knuckles

basically, just Isaac and Knuckles
compact saddle
i mean, if frogman counts as mod, then knuckles is top 5
misty acorn
chippy and qt show up sometimes and chippy still manages all the custom battlers folder stuff
umbral rune
rarely
compact saddle
chippy is the most important mod here
lime latch
Well there is not that much need for a mod
compact saddle
mini-modding Knuckles was better than mod Knuckles
umbral rune
well, maybe you think that because he had no mod perms before

I hope my sprite will do well this time
those 1-3 votes at max i got the last few times kinda hurtttt

Vote for mammuth even though he didn’t submit anything
compact saddle
mammuth did better than anyone here
change my mind
not participating these toxic (mostly me) contests that mainly bring hate from the inferior (mostly me) spriters is the best decision
or he was busy
fallow bough
I don't blame him for not wanting to enter. When he wins, he's not given any sort of congratulations or praise for his sprites because it was expected, but that doesn't mean they aren't good. There is a reason he wins, after all.
wind topaz
I thinks he’s just busy, he hasn’t posted any messages in a while

the hardest bracket to vote for one sprite is 4 imo

Is it just me or does my moltres/rapidash look a lot worse with the dicord dark theme background? xD
umbral rune
idk about strongest entry, but knuckles sprite is definitely up there
unique finch
one fo the hardest polls ever : there is to many good sprite for each bracket..
umbral rune
nothing really stood out for me in bracket 4 tbh
lofty aurora
the faticate one is cute
lime latch
@umbral rune thats why it was the hardest for me sadly
wind topaz
I just hope I can win one bracket at least
Being in the top 3 of course would be great, and being first would be best
umbral rune
Which sprites are yours, Knuckles? I know you have the ho-oh one
lofty aurora
sad that my two best ones are against eachother
umbral rune
I think you could win that bracket
lofty aurora
i like it a lot too
can't say quite yet if it's my favourite of the bracket bc yknow, am sorta biased towards my own sprites e.e
crude cedar
I hope my sprites do ok! I really enjoyed making them!
lofty aurora
eh even if mine don't win I rlly like how they all turned out
crude cedar
That's a good attitude to have! I just want one of mine to get into the semi-finals or finals. That's a victory for me! Winning would be a bonus! But I see so many fantastic entries that I don't think any of mine could get far!
It's just unfortunate that my two best ones are in the same bracket as each other.
wind topaz
What are your entries?
crude cedar
These two.
The ice Queen because I thought it'd be neat to turn alolan sandslash's ice spikes into a dress and the fiery bone zard.
I just wanna get into the finals because im slightly butthurt because of doing bad the last few.... but the fusion i made was completly after my personal liking and the ammount of effort i put into isnt in any way connected to this contest 🙂 ....... it did well on instagram XD
@crude cedar really love your ice queen 😄
naive summit
Solid sprites this contest tbh
wind topaz
Oh right, the waifu
naive summit
the third bracket is a super tough vote
crude cedar
I'm not very good with cool-looking or dynamic poses. I'm slowly learning through references and stuff but it's taking some time. I had to learn a lot about making ice with my ice Queen one.
And thank you! I'm actually very happy with how that one turned out.
naive summit
lot of clean af fusions
crude cedar
wind topaz
I’d say the main problem on the Marowak/Charizard is the arms
crude cedar
That one is beautiful. The only thing is that I wish there was more horse in the body. It's a fantastic fusion though!
naive summit
I think my overall favorite for this contest was A3 on the final bracket. Stands out since nobody else did Galar Weezing, and honestly that fusion is cleannnn
crude cedar
@crude cedar i couldve never made such nice ice ^^ ;
crude cedar
my favorite so far is knuckles muk birb 🙂
naive summit
or w/e they're called
wind topaz
No one else did Alolan Muk because everyone hates working with Muk
crude cedar
Oh yeah, plague doctor. That ones sick!
naive summit
I think this is the first time I've voted for Knuckles oops
but that one was also very well done ye
wind topaz
There are quite a few Alolan Marowak and Galarian Rapidash
misty acorn
~~ youre not supposed to say who you vote for 👀 ~~
naive summit
too bad
crude cedar
I forgot about alolan muk's existence! Even though it was a solid player on my competitive team.
naive summit
solid sprites all around though
I loved the alopix/eevee one in the final bracket, cute aff
and buff rainbow pony man
wind topaz
Alopix?
naive summit
alo(lan) (vul)pix
wind topaz
Also, that Galarian Rapidash/Machamp was an edit of the normal version
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543958354377179176/731478573952532510/78.68.png
wind topaz
I prefer not voting for contest entries that are edits of the normal version
Like Marowak/Arcanine
naive summit
I mean he did redo most of the work on it tbf? the only thing the same is the base machamp parts
crude cedar
i kinda share knuckles opinion
wind topaz
The Marowak/Arcanine is basically just a recolor of the normal one
naive summit
thats true
crude cedar
I probably won't be submitting for another contest for a while. That ice Queen sprite took a lot out of me. Especially when it took 6 or so hours to make lol
burnt bane
I hope i get somewhere
wind topaz
I think the Machamp is different enough
umbral rune
I didn't even know it was an edit, I personally don't like how that machamp one was done
naive summit
which is fine tbh, its in the same category to me as people submitting sprites they didn't make specifically for the contest
I've seen plenty of people submit old sprites that happen to fit the theme
burnt bane
The Marowak/Arcanine is basically just a recolor of the normal one
@wind topaz I mean I made that Sprite last week or something so boohoo?
It would be the same as using a official Sprite and editing that
crude cedar
if a chandelure contest happens ill submit my allready made fusions
same with pyukumuku
burnt bane
At least the whole marowak post was custom made
naive summit
I think it looks dope regardless, and repurposing an existing sprite is definitely easier than making an entirely new one. No need to waste time respriting if the old one can be repurposed, y'know?
work smarter not harder and whatnot
burnt bane
And I think the design matters more than the fact that it is the same base as my week old marowak arcanine
naive summit
its the same thing as me using existing parts of a gen 5 sprite
wind topaz
I thought the Marowak/Arcanine was really old?
naive summit
I dont see need to re-sprite something that already exists and looks better than I could do from hand anyways
and no
its pretty new
burnt bane
No?
burnt bane
5 days old
wind topaz
Ok
naive summit
tbh I kinda like the alolan one better, the color palette is hooooot
crude cedar
Everyone has different spriting abilities. I think as long as you did your best, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter whether you used sprite parts or did a custom sprite. As long as you can see what it is meant to be then I say that they all look good.
wind topaz
I guess I misremembered and thought it looked like an old sprite
burnt bane
tbh I kinda like the alolan one better, the color palette is hooooot
The colors make it look hella cool but what'd you expect with blue flames😂
crude cedar
Not gonna lie. Little bit miss the days where I didn't do custom sprites and the sprite only took an hour to two hours max lol
But I enjoy making custom ones much more.
brazen pawn
the guardevoir was too sexy for me, it was well sprited tho
misty acorn
thats why I switch between quick frankenstein sprites and custom ones that take me like up to 7 hours to make xD
burnt bane
Yeah custom sprites are time consuming lol
crude cedar
I can't believe people actually voted for mine.
burnt bane
But to be fair the end product is so much nicer that it really pays of
crude cedar
😆😆 if I have to spend 6 hours on each sprite then so be it. I just really like learning more through doing custom sprites and pushing myself.
burnt bane
Exactly
crude cedar
the guardevoir was too sexy for me, it was well sprited tho
@brazen pawn which gardevoir because there were multiple?
burnt bane
My last 2 custom sprites were mediocre
brazen pawn
the rapidash ine
burnt bane
But they were truly nice to make and to practice scratch spriting and shading
compact saddle
poggers i didnt get in any polls twice
brazen pawn
the sandslash one was amazing but it was beaten by 1 other custom sprite for me
crude cedar
the rapidash ine
@brazen pawn I really don't understand how someone can find something like that so sexy.
the sandslash one was amazing but it was beaten by 1 other custom sprite for me
@brazen pawn Fair enough.
brazen pawn
i mean its provoking a bit, sprite wise good pokemon wise eh
compact saddle
my pfp really exposes one of mine
compact saddle
true
crude cedar
good luck everyone.
I still don't understand and I don't think I ever will. I just wish there was more of a balance between the two Pokémon used for the gardevoir alolan rapidash. I wish there was more horse in it. It's an amazing sprite, the pose is fantastic but kinda wishing for a centaur kinda thing for that fusion.
compact saddle
bracket 1 is a hard vote
crude cedar
It really is. I had a lot of trouble deciding.
compact saddle
even i'm kind of hesitating on self voting this time around 
wind topaz
@crude cedar It’s mainly the pose and the fact that Sjoba gave it breasts

yeah

I dont think he wanted it to be a traditional pokemon fusion and just wanted to make a gardevoir sprite with galar rapidash colors
