winged fiber
Cute Mons? I created some and I will create one More so yay. I can join again
winged fiber
I will win ugliest with Garchomp
lime latch
Sprites that are well made but just ugly as fuck in the end
zenith matrix
did someone say UGLY?
zenith matrix
its the most digusting thing ive ever made
compact saddle
no
crude cedar
and is slaking?
compact saddle
yes
crude cedar
why is slaking in the game but not slakoth
compact saddle
because prevos suck
lime latch
It looks like it met some tires
compact saddle
its a nice carpet
crude cedar
yes
@crude cedar super cute x)
ty
@crude cedar that cutie would take my vote
(idk if you are talking of the slakoth or the kirlia)
@crude cedar post it as mudkip/slaking anyways, x) its valid for fusions to use the prevo if tgey arent in the game but you fuse it with the first stage of another line
ok
@crude cedar slakoth
is that cute?
zenith matrix
id say the flapping down of the leafs isnt properly synced to the up and down movement
zenith matrix
unless its suppose to fly with them, but even then its slightly off
zenith matrix
still off, it should stay up all the way down, and go down when ascending again
and u removed the blinking
zenith matrix
i see
brazen pawn
would anyone like to collab with me for the contest?
compact saddle
hey
crude cedar
wut
compact saddle
not u
brazen pawn
xril maybe someone different
crude cedar
ok
quartz locust
If only Fakemon were allowed, I'd submit Beeow otherwise. 😂
civic wadi
I’m sorry but is that supposed to be an icon or uhhhhh is that just minimised to a smol sprite?
zenith matrix
could be elekid/muk or so
quartz locust
But it's a cat bee. 😂
civic wadi
Oh ok
shrewd field
why is slaking in the game but not slakoth
@Xril#9625
because prevos suck
@compact saddle
Vigoroth doesn't suck. Only Slakoth.
compact saddle
true
spark ginkgo
RIP Vigoroth, one of my favorite normal types.
quartz locust
I always liked Vigoroth because it was in the opening for Pokémon Advanced. 😄
quartz locust
Advanced Battle is the best opening though.
spark ginkgo
Walkin' down this endless highway
quartz locust
I miss the 4Kids openings. The only ones I've really liked since the new dub are Battle Dimension's, Sinnoh League Victors' and Journey's. 😅
The first XY one was truly, truly dreadful. 😦
spark ginkgo
Okay now we have differing opinions. The first XY one is good except for "yeah".
And the Master Quest opening is best.
quartz locust
Master Quest's an anthem. That guitar. 😄
spark ginkgo
I grew up on gen 3 and grew off in the second half of gen 4. Sinnoh League Victors is my least favorite not only because I heard it the least, but also because mans pronounces Pokemon wrong.
solar garden
I like slakoth leave him alone
spark ginkgo
Slakoth is an ok Pokemon. It's pretty cute.
So go ahead and make that entry using it.
quartz locust
I grew up on gen 3 and grew off in the second half of gen 4. Sinnoh League Victors is my least favorite not only because I heard it the least, but also because mans pronounces Pokemon wrong.
@spark ginkgo I have the same timeframe as you, but by God is the Sinnoh League the best one in the anime (I've not seen XY's and apparently that's good too). 6v6 with all of Ash's old Pokémon? We've literally not seen Sceptile and co for 10 years now. 😦
spark ginkgo
Anime Sceptile was ugly. No one liked that it evolved.
Sceptile didn't get designed properly until Sawyer's in gen 6.
quartz locust
I liked that it evolved.
Though I hated Meganium for a while because of how Grovyle evolved and then she went off with Tropius. 😠
spark ginkgo
I still hate Meganium. It was originally for that reason because that was my first exposure to it. Tropius is cool though.
burnt bane
no u
solar garden
Both good
misty acorn
This is the first time since probably the the greek contest that I have an idea for a fusion that I actually like xD
spark ginkgo
good for you, mate!
burnt bane
Tough final this time
crude cedar
Good luck to everyone in the finals! I am really struggling to choose one!
quartz locust
Yeah it's hard to decide who to vote for. 😦
They're all such good sprites, with different ones having different strengths. 🙂
Wow was that a really demoralising contest for me though. 😦
crude cedar
Exactly! I 100% agree with you!
I'm sorry that you feel that way! Your sprites are amazing!
quartz locust
You're so wholesome, like a breath of fresh air in this server. 😂
crude cedar
Haha! I'm glad I can be that! It makes me happy making others happy!
burnt bane
Yeah wacky is a pure boyo
zenith matrix
scrapis being the total underdog colorwise 😂
quartz locust
Isn't Wacky a girl? 😂
crude cedar
I am. I'm used to being called a boy at this point! Besides, I understood what Stan meant!
burnt bane
See
nova nebula
i predict that palkia ends up in first place because it's "awesome"
quartz locust
I've stopped trying to guess which sprites win, I'm never right and my favourites usually don't. 😢
crude cedar
I'll be happy with whoever's won! This one is a pretty strong finale and they all look great!
zenith matrix
we all know theres only one award that matters, the choice award 🙏
umbral rune
yeah
zenith matrix
oh wait its ETAs contest, nvm 😜
quartz locust
I think they still get a choice award. 🙂
zenith matrix
in went straight to the finals, because it got first place in the elimination bracket
quartz locust
2nd and 3rd from each bracket go into the semis, 1st goes straight to the finals. 😄
crude cedar
I was confused too!
burnt bane
Cali which are you again?
zenith matrix
the system is designed to find the top 3 with the least amount of rounds and contestants in each bracket
thats why the winners of each bracket, move directly into the finals, while 2nd and 3rd go into the semi, from which then 1st, 2nd move on to the finals
ivory vector
Hey uh... anyone else having trouble with voting?
calm quail
mine is volcarona/scizor
crude cedar
Nice! I love how you've done the wings!
zenith matrix
the gradiant 👌
calm quail
its a nice surprise for me haha, i thought i didnt get past the first round
zenith matrix
u have a bright future in front of ya, thats what i can tell ya based on ur work uve shown so far
crude cedar
Nonsence! Yours looks really good!
zenith matrix
eeh, guess ive caught a bit of that wholesomeness which is dusting around here lately 🤢
crude cedar
That's not a bad thing!
ivory vector
Guys, I can't vote. I get no message.
Can someone help me? This is weird...
zenith matrix
restart the app / reload the page
crude cedar
I was gonna suggest a similar thing!
zenith matrix
That's not a bad thing!
it was a bit melodramatic, beside that im in no need to collect good karma, i leave that to others
crude cedar
Fair enough!
zenith matrix
thats what we got u for 👈 😜 👈
crude cedar
Haha thank you!
zenith matrix
yep, i really caught it and its hitting me hard
ivory vector
Still nothing...
zenith matrix
do u use the app?
ashen star
wacky-chan
crude cedar
That's weird. Perhaps you could let the contest oramganiser know what your vote is.
ivory vector
I am on PC.
zenith matrix
do u use the discord app, in like program, not via browser?
ivory vector
Programm, yeah.
crude cedar
If you wanna call me wacky-chan, feel free. Though I did used to have a nickname like that which I used during the cursed weeb phase.
zenith matrix
ok, if so simply closing it might not do the trick
u have to kill the task, u know how to do such?
ivory vector
Nope.
zenith matrix
right click ur task bar, open task manager, select under processes Discord and press "end task" (or so) in the bottom right corner
u might have to expand the task manager via show more detail, in order to see ur active processes
and just in case, dont kill other tasks, u never know which ur killing and it might lead to crashs when u kill a system task, well when the OS allows it even, depends on ur admin settings
ivory vector
Oh hey, I think the final poll didn't even appear for me,.
zenith matrix
its working now i guess?
ivory vector
Now I fear that I accidentally didn't vote for B2, and that that would have changed something...
Anyway, I will try it now.
Works now!
ivory vector
Mothman!
zenith matrix
ehem, pls dont discuss such now while voting is iminent
crude cedar
Oh sorry! I'll remove the message!
ivory vector
Oh yeah, good point.
Though these ones are through already, no?
ivory vector
Yeah, we were talking about semifinals.
zenith matrix
i think u were, not wacky i suppose?
crude cedar
Really sorry about saying that! I had no bad intentions when saying it though I can see why it'd be bad to say!
zenith matrix
relax 😅
fallow bough
B1 would be uh, interesting as a server icon.
zenith matrix
white background pls
and @ivory vector ur vote in the semis for B2 wouldnt have changed anything
quartz locust
I really like how a lot of these sprites aren't obscenely overdone, they're just really slick and cool designs that aren't 96x96 Kaiju. 😅
ivory vector
Ok, thanks. That's good to know.
crude cedar
You say that but mine is probably pretty kaiju like tbh
crude cedar
Haha!
quartz locust
It captures the Pokémon style though, that's what I like. I did some Smogon sprites so I'm a proper stickler for that sort of thing. 😂
crude cedar
Oh really?
ivory vector
As long as we don't have any 128x128 kaiju...
Literal Kaiju, when you think about it.
zenith matrix
i guess they are all somewhat big, but mostly due to the wings, which dont tend to be overdesigned in order to resemble vulcarona better
quartz locust
Yeah these are the ones I had a hand in, most were polished by the master that is leParagon though. 😄
ivory vector
The system is weird. Probably other sprites earlier on won out.
quartz locust
You weren't first or second. 😦
crude cedar
Oh wow! That's really cool @quartz locust ! Oh yeah, leParagon is an amazing spriter!
zenith matrix
those were the semis, from which only the best two move on
crude cedar
another time chonky boi
quartz locust
He's the mentor who taught me anti-aliasing, I just love being a part of that project. 😄
crude cedar
Well done for making it into the semi-finals though! You said it was your first contest, right @crude cedar ?
ty
and yes it was
He's the mentor who taught me anti-aliasing, I just love being a part of that project. 😄
@quartz locust that's definitely something I need to learn!
and yes it was
@crude cedar well, that's a really good place to be for your first contest!
ty
quartz locust
It's quite simple once you get the hang of it, I used to outline patterns a lot but that's very un-Pokémon in style, bridging the gap (say a pale blue pixel between white and blue patterns) looks way better and more Pokémon-like. 🙂
Stuff like that's what I use to judge contest entries. 😄
Not just how good a sprite is or how creative it is, it needs to match the style for me too because this is a Pokémon game that uses Pokémon sprites. 😅
crude cedar
Nice! I can see why that'd be a useful skill for deciding your vote!
I'm still trying to get the hang of the pokemon-styled sprites as I used to do all of my sprites in a very different style! I'm definitely learning more and more through each sprite I make though!
zenith matrix
dont overdo it tho, or u reach realms of my style 😈
which isnt pkmn anymore really
crude cedar
It's still a really cool style though!
zenith matrix
wasnt aiming for that but thanks 😅
quartz locust
Yeah absolutely, I always enoy seeing your sprites Tene, contest or otherwise. 🙂
zenith matrix
i try to get down to a more pkmn style, atm im cooking smth, i hope u will love it
(im not literally cooking, im making a sprite, an animation to be specific)
crude cedar
Now that sounds exciting!
zenith matrix
its easier to hype ppl up than to actually deliver 😅
crude cedar
But you always tend to deliver!
zenith matrix
gosh, stop it
fallow bough
Is it though? 👀
crude cedar
gosh, stop it
@zenith matrix never!
zenith matrix
partially
and u (and BTA...sometimes) are running this contests, if thats not delivering
crude cedar
btw why amnt i contest participant?
zenith matrix
i dunno if knuckles hands it based on wheither u reacted tho or if its a bot thing
otherwise, just...ask
quartz locust
This contest already has some really nice entries. 😄
I like that this helps with fusions for unevolved Pokémon as well. 🙂
zenith matrix
well, u only win with cute entries
fallow bough
i dunno if knuckles hands it based on wheither u reacted tho or if its a bot thing
@zenith matrix It's a bot thing.
zenith matrix
huh, neat
compact saddle
wait what, 2 semifinalists go to the final?
umbral rune
2
zenith matrix
yes because the best is already in the final, so theres no need to check for the third as 1st and 2nd of the semis can only become at most 2nd and 3rd (assuming the voting ratios for each sprite stay the same, meaning theres an objectively best which therefor wins)
compact saddle
bro i have 2 in the finals
umbral rune
pogchamp
compact saddle
yes because the best is already in the final, so theres no need to check for the third as 1st and 2nd of the semis can only become at most 2nd and 3rd (assuming the voting ratios for each sprite stay the same, meaning theres an objectively best which therefor wins)
@zenith matrix Weird&Wacky moment
crude cedar
Haha, I just assumed because mine wasn't in the semis that it didn't get through!
umbral rune
I mean, the strength of the bracket, tho
compact saddle
still, follows the same basics as the winners
crude cedar
I don't know about that! As I've said before, I'd be so happy winning the contest but there are so many other amazing entries that I doubt mine'll make it to the top!
compact saddle
big
thats it
compact saddle

ashen star
I was cheated ;(
naive summit
best contest ever
can we do another cute theme in the future holy shit the entries so far are such a breath of fresh air
mild furnace
I know
There are no 300x300 abominations or detailed sprites that people automatically know is gonna win, it looks like pretty fair game for once
naive summit
idk man I'm just enjoying tf out of seeing these adorable af babs
compact saddle
do yall like my entries? 
misty acorn
it never was not fair game, wtf
compact saddle
are you sure about that
misty acorn
always has been
ashen star
do yall like my entries? :tinccing:
@compact saddle no u cheated me
compact saddle
any valid opinions? lol
ashen star
Can we establish that cute doesn’t have to be small, red cheeked, and tons of eye highlight
Because that’s all everyone is doing and it’s a problem
compact saddle
thats just the easiest way, its no problem
calm quail
if you make something thats not that itll stand out all the more right haha
acoustic hare
I also enjoy this cute competition.It would be nice to have it again in the future
fallow bough
Obviously if any theme were to be repeated I would not allow any sprites that had been entered into the initial competition.
I never had any intention of repeating themes or anything, but people seem to like this one a lot.
acoustic hare
I think it would be nice to revisit some themes later down the line.
quartz locust
I think revisiting some themes would be nice, especially because there's probably less compelling themes than there are Pokémon for classic contests. 😅
compact saddle
acoustic hare
yeah if sprites are banned from re-entering I think it would be fun.
crude cedar
If you've entered one then yes. i didnt know i had
i didnt know there were a drive or something?
mild furnace
Yeah
In #event-announcements is a reddit post and the link to the google drive is ther
crude cedar
ok
mild furnace
All you have to do is open "Downloads" and drag and drop into the drive tab
Or just files
depending on your computer
crude cedar
ik how to do that
mild furnace
OK
mild furnace
Yeah that's where Isaac or BTA gets the sprites for the polls

I hoped for Flygon to get one of the prize places, voted for it :(

Oh shoot I did! Well done to everyone else! Everyone made an amazing sprite!

ever since i saw one of ya sprites

I had no idea! I thought either the flygon, the scizor or the volcarona self fusion would win! Definitely a surprise for me!

Hyped for the BTA awards.

Looking forward to seeing who wins that!

ooh congrats

u could go a bit more dramatic 🤷♂️

A yes. I will hire a blimp
calm quail
how can you see the poll votes?
fallen adder
should be able to see them in #contest-polls
calm quail
ahh now i am able to see it ^^
fallen adder
I went ahead and hired a blimp so I can say... @thorny saddle I am giving you the first (much better than that Isaac award thing) BTA award 😎 . Thought it was a great blend of the two pokemon and fit well with the overall pokemon style
thorny saddle
Oh shit nice, thank you a lot

Well done @thorny saddle ! Your sprite looked amazing!

I was just thinking of the other mods
@wind topaz implying BTA is a mod.

It certainly is a good feeling seeing your sprite as the discord icon! Thank you to everyone who voted for my sprite!

the movies are actually way better than the books imo

u mean BTAs choice award? Calicorn with the flygon
spark ginkgo
Wow, the results were not what I expected. If I were to rate the finalists, it would be almost the exact opposite from the poll placing.
All the sprite finalists were good, though.
zenith matrix
agreed, i expected it to be closer for the most part
spark ginkgo
poll results were announced, mate
compact saddle
oh cool
fallow bough
Scrapi, you need to tweak your sleep schedule so you wake up for the polls and for no other reasons.
crude cedar
Well done @compact saddle for getting third! I loved your space-themed sprite! The colours are gorgeous!
compact saddle
thanks! also i knew u would get first place from the start of the polls, i said it didnt i?
crude cedar
I suppose so but I really didn't think it'd happen! I'm thankful for it but I fully anticipated mine to have the least amount of votes compared to everyone else's sprites in the finals!
compact saddle
you're like me but with even worse self esteem
jeez
well congrats, it was well deserved
crude cedar
My self esteem has been low for years which is why I'm positive to everyone else and raise up everyone else's!
compact saddle
i would definitely be a bit better if i got thousands of likes on each ig post, lmao
crude cedar
You'd think that because of that, my self esteem would improve but nope. I always, always find faults in my fusions. But, as long as I can be positive towards others and make others happy, it's good enough for me!
compact saddle
well, still, you make alot of awesome stuff and im glad you havent given up or anything because of your self esteem
crude cedar
There have been many times where I've considered it (including very recently) but I know how happy it makes people so I don't.
solar garden
I'm worried that my Pichooper will get no votes
People said it scared them(but chippy said it was cute)
hot venture
Hey I just noticed one of my sprites got deleted from the drive
hot venture
Wait, I opened the link on reddit and there were a bunch missing, cause when I opened it using the drive app they all came back
compact saddle
huh
hot venture
Maybe it's just me, but when I opened the reddit link there were no sunkern fusions but when I looked at the app there were 3
calm quail
i cant see mine via reddit either
quartz locust
@crude cedar Congratulations on winning! Your sprite was absolutely fantastic and fought off some really stiff competition, you deserved the win for sure though. 😄
crude cedar
Thank you! 😁
compact saddle
misty acorn
Wait, I opened the link on reddit and there were a bunch missing, cause when I opened it using the drive app they all came back
@hot venture I had that once too. 2 of my sprites were missing, but then they appeared in the brackets anyway.
Seems to be a glitch with the drive or something where it sometimes makes some files invisible
lime latch
I think its a smartphone bug
@zenith matrix tbh i dont think sprites already used in a competition, should be used again for another...
This definetely is against the purpose of the whole contest concept in my opinion, which is to encourage creating new sprites and to improve your skills...
(And yes i know that i and others are adding old sprites to the contest)
And if it was isaac who added him. Even more shame on him
compact saddle
isaac himself said the purpose of contests for him were just to have fun
not exactly add new stuff to the game
also it was tene who uploaded that
lime latch
Still dont like it
compact saddle
that is a you problem buckaroo
burnt bane
Oof
quartz locust
My problem with it is that it's funny and I love it, but not cute.
compact saddle
hey blaquaza
is your torchic thing new? it has been confusing my mind ever since i saw it, and i cant tell if its new or u made it a few days ago
fallow bough
When you wake up and find you've been accused of several things. 
zenith matrix
i leave it to Isaac to remove it or not
and i am creating a proper new entry, but it takes time, which i dont really have atm
fallow bough
Hey I just noticed one of my sprites got deleted from the drive
@hot venture nope, it's still there. I checked to make sure nobody else deleted it, since I certainly didn't. Sometimes the Drive takes a while to load the further down sprites for reasons beyond my comprehension, but they are all there.
fallow bough
i think isaac deletes non cutes or smth, idk
@compact saddle I wouldn't touch anything until the end in that regard, and there's nothing in there just now that would be removed anyway.
burnt bane
Basically most sentret and furret sprites are missing for me
And they are the definition of cute
So dont think isaac deleted them
quartz locust
is your torchic thing new? it has been confusing my mind ever since i saw it, and i cant tell if its new or u made it a few days ago
It's a couple of days old, I've somehow been making exclusively cute fusions this week before the contest even started. 😅
compact saddle
alright
zenith matrix
@lime latch whats with the double moral tho? admitting u do it urself? and why accusing only me? or were u just assuming id only add those and nothing new?
im not offended, just confused
quartz locust
I think Keks means we're submitting old sprites, but not ones we'd submitted to a contest before. 😅
Maybe, I'm terrible at interpreting things. And I study English Language at university. 😂
lime latch
? the diference is reading a already used contest sprites vs reusing a sprite in general
fallow bough
And if it was isaac who added him. Even more shame on him
@lime latch It was absolutely not me. Tene asked me if he could add it and I said yes, but that if it were to win he would get the congratulations, not me. Regardless, I think aiming your point at Tenedranox is unnecessary. People have been re-entering sprites into competitions for ages, and I don't actually believe Tenedranox ever has before this. The main reason there's no rule against it is because it would be incredibly time consuming to police, and possibly somewhat frustrating for people if they had made a sprite that's perfect for th current competition and couldn't think of anything else that was good. It might even cause people to hold back on making things if they know a competition may be coming up, which is the opposite of their purpose.
Wait isaac, you deleted nothing then?
@burnt bane I deleted nothing, and nothing that is currently there would I delete.
zenith matrix
? the diference is reading a already used contest sprites vs reusing a sprite in general
@lime latch ah gotcha
lime latch
I only remembered it hapen once before with one of mamuth sprites (kecleon into reptile themed) and i know we had the discusion at that point to
zenith matrix
so, mind naming another sprite i should add instead?
lime latch
and it is just my personal opinion. Otherwise people could just reenter with one and the same sprite, if they want, which is kinda lame.
I can take a look through the gallery
compact saddle
#spriter-general
crude cedar
oh sry
lime latch
@zenith matrix you never did a full evo line?
zenith matrix
id say lame is the wrong word, id go even so far and say one should be sad for them not creating nothing new, opposed to demonizing them adding smth good again
different movies got different nominations for an oscar too, if u get what i mean
nope
quartz locust
I'm fine with people resubmitting things, maybe with the exception of if they won before (or maybe even placed in the top 3) because that's obviously no fun. 😅
zenith matrix
u mean them as a person, or the specific sprite?
quartz locust
Sprite, obviously. You can't start banning people, that'd be awful. 😂
fallow bough
New rule, when someone wins a competition they get banned from the server.
zenith matrix
Sprite, obviously. You can't start banning people, that'd be awful. 😂
i understood it like that ppl who won a contest shouldnt be allowed to reenter sprites, as they got a win already and dont "need to add more as theyve got a win already"
quartz locust
We need Wacky around, she counteracts all the toxicity that happens here sometimes. 😅
zenith matrix
weird's first win ever results on a ban
oh that happened to WindSwirl
i admit, that was grim
fallow bough
We need Wacky around, she counteracts all the toxicity that happens here sometimes. 😅
@quartz locust then you shouldn't have voted for her. Ban time. 😤
compact saddle
wait, is wacky my opposite counterpart then?
zenith matrix
nah, that would be Jezza
fallow bough
Nah, you two have a lot in common, disturbingly. Scrapi and Jangles, I mean. Not Scrapi and Jezza.
quartz locust
wait, is wacky my opposite counterpart then?
I don't even think you're the most toxic person in this server. 😅

@fallow bough I thought that the whole drive thing was weird because the first couple sprites were there and so were the last couple, but the middle was completely gone
weary pagoda
Do you think my last fusion would be okay for the contest ?
silver merlin
show
mild furnace
sure, but therre isn't a mythical triple fusion cntest
It's the Jirachi/Celebi/Mew Katten
silver merlin
it can still be counted for the cute one
im pretty sure?
It's the Jirachi/Celebi/Mew Katten
ik
weary pagoda
Yeah, I was thinking that a triple fusion could probably get rejected
I maybe shouldn't use this sprite but I still want to know.
charred crescent
it probably wont be rejected, as fusions with pokemon that arent in the game also get accepted
bright elk
It will get rejected
silver merlin
how so?
bright elk
Isaacs not gonna let a triple fusion into the contest
silver merlin
kk
weary pagoda
I still want to ask him
compact saddle
bruh isaac said its allowed
weary pagoda
@compact saddle Really ? Where ?
bright elk
How are you suppose to uploaf a triple as. Head.body
compact saddle
bright elk
That was two months ago
weary pagoda
wind topaz
I say don't allow triple fusions
compact saddle
you are not a contest manager
wind topaz
That doesn't matter
compact saddle
it literally does lol
weary pagoda
Ah
mild furnace
You don't get a say unless you're a contest manager
weary pagoda
Ok
wind topaz
I don't need to be a contest manager to voice my opinion
weary pagoda
Of course he does
mild furnace
Yes but it won't count towards anything unless the contest managers take your opinion into account
bright elk
As a mod he can ban triple fusions
mild furnace
damn. fax
compact saddle
@fallen adder what do you say about this
weary pagoda
If this cause problem I just won't publish it
bright elk
Debates arent problems, but I genuinely don't see them letting in sprites that will never make it into the actual game
weary pagoda
I never make a sprite if it has no chances to be included one day
Except one I made some weeks ago 
fallen adder
You can always submit things to the contest that cannot go in the game, triple fusions I would say are straying though. Knuckles does not have the power to ban triple fusions from the contest though
bright elk
Sure he does, hes mod, just adds a rule against it
fallen adder
He is a moderator for the discord, he doesn't have anything to do with the contests. If he did make a rule like that without the contest managers knowledge then it wouldn't be a rule for long
Having access to the rules channel does not make him a dictator
Not actually having a go at you btw knuckles. just arguing this point
weary pagoda
Tell me if that causes problems, then if it does I just won't post it.
wind topaz
I don't make contest rules
fallen adder
If this is about someone submitting a triple fusion, and Isaac hasn't said anything against it. I'd say submit it.
charred crescent
How are you suppose to uploaf a triple as. Head.body
@bright elk the same way other triples are named LUL
silver merlin
dex number thing
compact saddle
lower to higher number
charred crescent
weary pagoda
I do want to submit but it doesn't look sure.
wind topaz
Isaac's about to answer
fallow bough
I still stand by what I said two months ago. There is no rule against it as of yet. 🤷
charred crescent
Debates arent problems, but I genuinely don't see them letting in sprites that will never make it into the actual game
@bright elk they have been in contests again and again
weary pagoda
Fine then. Thanks to you all !
quartz locust
I feel it's fine unless people start doing it more often because then the concept of them helping create sprites for the game is undermined. 😅
compact saddle
only does illegal triples
lime latch
I feel it's fine unless people start doing it more often because then the concept of them helping create sprites for the game is undermined. 😅
I think it should be clear at this point, that that is no longer the point of the (themed) contest (if it ever was the point).
Someone might start to question, if it even needs to be a pokemonsprite. 👀
fallow bough
It does need to be a Pokémon sprite. 👀
fallow bough
I mean there's barely even a rule saying it has to be a sprite.
Some things I just take for granted.
solar garden
👀
fallen adder
I mean anything of that size is a sprite 👀
compact saddle
can i just upload a resized mudkip
solar garden
~~Submits art of a fakemon that barley fits the theme ~~
can i just upload a resized mudkip
That's cheating, how can we beat that?
compact saddle
lmao
brazen pawn
keks has a idea , everybody run!
fallow bough
There's also a rule about no joke sprites.
umbral rune
is there?
silver merlin
shoot
compact saddle
with all seriousness, i resize a mudkip
quartz locust
I like the no joke sprites thing, for most of them the real joke is how unfunny they are. 😂
weary pagoda
Only for Contest or for any sprites ?
quartz locust
Only for the contests. 🙂
weary pagoda
N i c e
compact saddle
so you like my electivire alt
quartz locust
You can submit joke sprites to the game through the gallery but they get put into a joke folder. 😄
weary pagoda
The joke sprite that made me laugh the most is Miltank / Miltank by the way. What's yours ?
crude cedar
when the cute open?
lime latch
you can upload your cute pokes
This competition closes in four days, at 8PM BST on the 18th of September. There are a maximum of three sprites per entrant.
@crude cedar
crude cedar

umbral rune
what, the polls?
wind topaz
The polls likely start a little while after the entries end
crude cedar
The polls likely start a little while after the entries end

I'm debating editing this old fusion from like 10 years ago (which was a placeholder sprite for a Zangoose pre-evolution) and submitting it. 😅
crude cedar
he s cute
bright elk
Xril upload the picture to the contest
Isaac cant delete it without saying you arent cute
lime latch
Isaac can say you are a joke
So Eevee is the cutest pokemon for the server? with 7 entries?
crude cedar
no its this one
naive summit
on the topic of the whole "reentering a sprite you've already entered in a previouc contest" thing, I agree to some extent, but frankly just wont vote for them in that case. I do think, however, that a sprite that placed in a previous contest (ie: got first, second or third) shouldn't be allowed for re-entry, since it's kinda rude to try going for multiple wins with the same sprite imo. Might just be me though.
normal nebula
imo re-entering puts you at a disadvantage, cause the novelty has worn off
so it evens out
quartz locust
Some people don't vote for them so even if they are amazing the novelty's worn off like you said. How do people feel about submitting an old sprite that hasn't been in a contest before? 🙂
umbral rune
I don't see why anyone would have an issue with that
bright elk
Submits sprite from 10 years ago into a timed contest like a boss
crude cedar
jokes on you
i have printed out 11 year old sprites somewhere in the attic
B)
i literally printed em out and showed them arround as a child
umbral rune
proof?
crude cedar
Somewhere in my attic i might look for it
but i was a cringe bby
bringing them printed out to my grandma XD
quartz locust
In primary school I used to print off pictures of Blaziken and hide them around the IT room. 😂
wind topaz
i have printed out 11 year old sprites somewhere in the attic
@crude cedar I only saw 11 year old and attic for a second, so I got suspicious
crude cedar
XD
umbral rune
👀
crude cedar
@quartz locust we did something similar in 8th grade
But with pictures of jonathan frakes
quartz locust
Who's that? 😂
People used to do it in secondary school with pictures of Ainsley Harriott here, a memey TV chef. 😅
wind topaz
Some guys in my high school kept hiding a rubber duck around our csci room
quartz locust
I love random things like that. 😂
normal nebula
I still have sprites of the original 3 gens of pokemon printed out somewhere from when I was making my own gen as a kid
lime latch
compact saddle
nah its pretty cute
wind topaz
Clefairy is derp
@lime latch You're derp
lime latch
Ping was necessary?😑
You woke me up again
naive summit
idk man there's super stiff competition, so many adorable sprites I absolutely love this contest
compact saddle
naive summit
Pengu's sentret/azurill, Keks' eevee/phanpy, and the roserade/whimsicott you did with Retro stand out to me
naive summit
I wonder if Bee will submit something... honestly I'm not usually a fan of voting for old sprite submissions but wouldn't be able to help myself if Beevee was in
would 100% die for Beevee
compact saddle
compact saddle
eh
wind topaz
Looks a bit too strange to me
brazen pawn
crude cedar
Lmao noice
heady escarp
So what is the next one gonna be?
compact saddle
the voting for the current one hasnt even started yet
thick atlas
great one retro! you even added a drill
brazen pawn
is a bit older, and has some mistakes but i am glad you like it
rain stump
I'm ready to get 2 votes overall in this contest
quartz locust
I'm ready for 0, even if I vote for myself. 😂
I came second in one contest and have gradually got less and less votes since. Must be my repellent personality. 😅
quartz locust
Aw thanks, and right back at you! ❤️
compact saddle
i think my personality is just
get a high placement once
lose every single first bracket
wait 2 months
get high placement
quartz locust
I relate to that so much you don't even know. 😦
And I was so close to winning with Golduck.
So tantalisingly close.
compact saddle
i was only close to 2nd place
quartz locust
With the calibre of spriters here, that's still something to be proud of. 😄
Like some of the best spriters I've ever seen are in this server, so to even come close to their level is a massive bit of praise. 😃
But I very much want to surpass them.
burnt bane
I mean this contest has a lot of entries
May be the most so far? Idk
But there are a lot
So its gonna be fun to see how many polls we get
weary pagoda
Never too much polls
quartz locust
Same here, it's just such a happy contest. 🙂
thorn robin

I think i liked it because it allowed for people who don't have as much skills as others (so me) to participate
Most of the sprites are simple enough.Nothing crazy.
quartz locust
It's not even about skill, it's just a different style. 😄
brazen pawn
I want a Partner contest again soon
silver merlin

quartz locust
Like making a really overshaded, 96x96 Igglybuff would just look stupid. 😂
And I'd love another double trouble. 🙂

silver merlin
double trouble two electric boogaloo
compact saddle

You know how much of a stickler I am for the BW style, it's not shade just preference. 😂

Every variant is worse than the last one, none are even a fraction as good as the precious baby cat I call Kitto. ❤️

bla i feel personally attacked for u calling the galar variant worse
i will proceed to leave
quartz locust
Perrserker is my least favourite Gen VIII Pokémon and I think it's a hideous abomination. 🙂
compact saddle
perfect
quartz locust
Perrserker literally isn't an evolution, it's just horny, stoned Meowth with claws. :/
compact saddle
ok
quartz locust
Alolan Persian was bad but Perrserker is worse. Original Persian absolutely thrashes them both and its design isn't even anything to write home about. 😦
compact saddle
o k
silver merlin
c a t
compact saddle
time to reconsider all the decisions i have made in life in terms of people 
solar garden
I like alolan Persian better because fat head
At least it had a design
And isn't just a cat
The Galarian meowth evo is just a different Pokémon line entirely
quartz locust
The fat head completely throws off any chance of it looking good though. Almost looks like its head is going full on Violet Beauregard, especially with the Shiny. 😅
brazen pawn
Agree Original persian is the best evolution
misty acorn
most regional forms have very weird design choices that ruin them for me
corsola and cursola are definetly my favorites
brazen pawn
Yeah those are great and makes sense
fallow bough
Four days ago. 👀
fallow bough
That's the length of every contest. 👀

that's not long enough.
It should always be at least a week.

Actually closer to 40.

Trying to figure out a decent way to do this with so many entries.
fallow bough
The semifinals will be massive.
compact saddle
Trying to figure out a decent way to do this with so many entries.
do 1 bracket per entry
lmao
weary pagoda
That's what I've been excepting when I entered my sprite x)
naive summit
split the semifinals into two brackets, have top... 4? in the two brackets in a semi-semifinals bracket?
idk
compact saddle
other than Articuno
@naive summit what fusion has that name
naive summit
I meant Artichoke
compact saddle
ah
fallow bough
I could split the semifinals in two and have two move up from each semifinal bracket.
fallow bough
But then the finals would have 12.
naive summit
Could, but then they wouldn't face off against those of the other bracket
calm quail
is isaac like all y'alls dad?
fallow bough
Could, but then they wouldn't face off against those of the other bracket
Might just need to have a semifinal bracket of 16 then. 👀
quartz locust
Isaac's the father figure of the server, Knuckles is the older brother, like Buzz from Home Alone. 😂
calm quail
home alone...
compact saddle
ang is the father that left to get gas
naive summit
either that or like I said, split into two pseudo semi-final brackets, have like top 3-4 of those two brackets go into the real semifinals bracket, and top two of those go into finals
calm quail
blaquaza can I ask how old you are 😉
naive summit
but then kinda same issue I think
quartz locust
21 as of 8 days ago. 😅
