I thought my Snom/Ivysaur made it but it seems that it was my Sentret/Azurill after all
solar garden
Sentret is too powerful
lime latch
and here i thought my corsola pikachu is cuter then my eevee/ phanpy :/
mild furnace
Wait but why is my Snom/Ivysaur in the Semifinals but my Sentret/Azurill, an actual bracket winner, is not?
naive summit
I'm surprised I got one to finals and one to semis
Also friend from another server entered for the first time and is in semis too
solar garden
Bracket winners go straight to finals
naive summit
Hyped af for them
mild furnace
Ohhh
lime latch
Wait but why is my Snom/Ivysaur in the Semifinals but my Sentret/Azurill, an actual bracket winner, is not?
@mild furnace cause it won the bracket
crude cedar
Lmao I got a final and a 2vote
mild furnace

It's ok Katten

Do katten did the gliscor?
silver merlin
Katten, you won in my heart ❤️

Do katten did the gliscor?

misty acorn
That blissey dragonite ngl is the best one
the sprite is amazing but I find a lot of other stuff more cute
crude cedar
My little oshawott boi
mild furnace
Also, how did I win in the bracket with 37 votes
crude cedar
the sprite is amazing but I find a lot of other stuff more cute
@misty acorn like or die

I mean it makes me feel good that 37 people liked my sprite over others' but jesus
crude cedar
Also, how did I win in the bracket with 37 votes
@mild furnace 37?
Wut

mild furnace
I mean in one of the preliminary brackets
Guess

silver merlin

mild furnace
I mean but honestly wtf?
silver merlin

acoustic hare
Gasp! I made semis
mild furnace
- Gasp!
naive summit
Lore's made semis too! This is a great contest
It's nice seeing so many cute things winning rather than over the top awesome stuff
mild furnace
Yeah
weary pagoda
Only one vote... Welp. And my favorite fusion didn't even get on semifinals
acoustic hare
I definetely didn't expect this sprite out of my 3 to reach semis but hey
mild furnace
I know the really good spriters probably struggled making a cute, simple thing
acoustic hare
I'll take it
brazen pawn
I am always so confused at the results
naive summit
I think that one was cute in a different way tbh
mild furnace
Yeah
naive summit
It was interesting seeing different takes on cuteness
weary pagoda
Confused too yeah
silver merlin
i like... beta meowth.. anyone else? oh just me.. 
mild furnace
but Isaac did recommend it be smaller
naive summit
You and 9 others lmao chill
weary pagoda
I wanted Roserade Whisicott to win
naive summit
It even made semis
mild furnace
Atleast I'm being humble about winning my bracket by 25 votes
naive summit
It just had the misfortune of being up against that adorable animated one
mild furnace
yeah the gliscor/oshawott was cute, not because its face or shape, but the way it tried to fly was very adorable
naive summit
It's in finals.. Lmao
weary pagoda
Actually all of my favorite fusions didn't pass the semifinals
Everyone is bad at voting except me 
civic wadi
Oh ok
naive summit
Look at the vote count
civic wadi
Ah ic
brazen pawn
Yeah some of my favs had only 5 votes or so
naive summit
This has easily been one of my favorite contests so far, I hope we do more unevolved / cute mon contests in the future
silver merlin
agreed
naive summit
And I think a lot of them did very well, even if they didn't get a ton of votes
Tbf, this contest was fucking huge
silver merlin
since i have a chance at these
brazen pawn
Many were made before the contest tho
mild furnace
kill me
naive summit
A chunk were yeah
crude cedar
OK I got an idea for klefki
naive summit
My third entry was because I couldn't think of a third idea
mild furnace
You already said in spritework or spriter-general i forget
silver merlin
my wooper/wooper was too detailed, seems like i placed too many features
crude cedar
Spritework
naive summit
It was too big in canvas size
crude cedar
Katten show it
mild furnace
I'm making a Klefki/Bouffalant with keys sticking out of its afro
naive summit
The program he has automatically kicked it for not being the right size
mild furnace
it'll look sick
naive summit
Was bigger than 288x288
silver merlin
yea
crude cedar
Look sick the boofallant
crude cedar
Sed
naive summit
Unfortunate yeah
civic wadi
Oof
mild furnace
Ok I gotta get back to spriting lol
silver merlin
i would have gotten a better chance at winning if i had used the right one
so
:sadomega:
hot venture
I don't think I've ever been in the semi finals before, this is awesome!
light patrol
Same here. I'm amazed my entry made it thus far.

oof, 2 votes on my pineco smoochum, and one of those was me
I thought it was pretty cute. Ah well.

burnt bane
dibbs on spiritomb/klefki
burnt bane
dont be so sure of that
i never really get lucky in contests when i participate
...i also rarely participate but thats besides the point
silver merlin
lol
burnt bane
the cute one with an old sprite
the triple starterone with a somehow semifinaland then tie gen2 trio
might have entered once more but 
crude cedar
I allways fail miserably in contests
And then. For some dumb reason i wom 2...
But the following my fusions get likem.. 4 votes max
burnt bane
im very confused by the votes this contest
some get quite the ammount of votes
i...dont consider some cute at all lol
crude cedar
At one point people seem to love my fusion and lil latter people seem to hate em. Never know what will happen during the contest
zenith matrix
ye, sometimes it feels like every contest theirs another crowd of ppl voting
burnt bane
Colors will make it better
crude cedar
Btw who else thought during theyr first encounter with it that rotom was a legendary x)?
zenith matrix
me
burnt bane
Honestly cant remember anything about my first time playing gen4
zenith matrix
i wonder if there will be any klefki head fusions...i doubt it smh
burnt bane
Except excited young me showing my mom my finally evolved infernape😂
i wonder if there will be any klefki head fusions...i doubt it smh
Someone suggested the idea to our gardevoir specialist
To make klefki gardevoir
With a dress made of keys
misty acorn
doesnt it even play legandary music?
i definetly thought it was
burnt bane
It does yeah
zenith matrix
hmm, havent thought of such an application, but u could do stuff with the keys indeed 🤔
crude cedar
@zenith matrix i planned klefki/gardevoir
burnt bane
Key hole instead of her chest spike
You started on it as well already or?
Cause seeing how this contest is going so far
That might have a big chance of winning
also good luck with a key dress cause oof
crude cedar
But i dont wanna make her gimmick being a key dress
quartz locust
Congrats on everyone getting into the semis! 🙂
burnt bane
I thought of another fusion
silver merlin
thank you!
silver merlin
i still cant belive it happened
burnt bane
Altough I can still do it reverse but ugh that head is gonna be pain to make
quartz locust
I think I'm going to take a break from contests for at least the next one because I'm really not motivated right now for a few reasons, but I look forward to seeing what everyone else has to offer. 😄
silver merlin
but, i wont be getting in the finals thats for sure

good to know!
burnt bane
I call dibs on arceus/klefki as well, for now at least
devout slate
Meanwhile I think the klefki contest is the first one I want to do in a while
burnt bane
Dunno if I can manage it, otherwise the dibs will be gone again
quartz locust
I was thinking of Klefki / Spiritomb where the Odd Keystone is literally an odd key stone, other than that I had no real ideas. 😦
I'll just throw anything I think of here for other people to pick up. 🙂
devout slate
I thought of a dumb klefki unknown where they literally spell key on the ring
zenith matrix
k, i dibs the reverse
quartz locust
I think Klefki / Smeargle could be pretty cute where its tail is keys instead of a brush. Or vice versa, an artsy Klefki. 😄
Or Kyurem / Klefki, with the ring and keys made of ice. 🙂
devout slate
Klefki with a paintbrush and pallette on the ring maybe?
crude cedar
Dibs on... Dunno something. Dont steal my ideas >:O
burnt bane
We dont know if we are stealing your ideas if you dont call them
devout slate
Dibs is dumb. Just all make the same sprite if you have a unique idea.
burnt bane
No
quartz locust
I remember disliking a Togekiss / Mantine for one of the contests so I made my own. 😂
quartz locust
Someone's done that to me too. 😅
crude cedar
probably me in the past
quartz locust
It wasn't, at least not that I know of. 😂
crude cedar
imma do that
the porygon z one
you can do your idea with porygon x)
then we need someone do porygon2 x)
klefki head was my idea though
burnt bane
lol
stil wondering how the frick you gonna make a keygen pixelated in a pokemon sprite
crude cedar
Imma do it dont worry
burnt bane
still wanna see your gardevoir as well mmm
vernal basin
@fallow bough why do the results with the most votes often not go on?
burnt bane
go on to what?
if you mean go on to the subfinals, thats cause the most voted entries go straight to the finals
zenith matrix
i feel like we should pin an explanation for the voting system...
zenith matrix
zenith matrix
looks like smth to torture someone
burnt bane
||forbidden cock ring||
burnt bane
hehe yep
misty acorn
lol, I was starting to work on Arceus/Klefki a few minutes ago but scraped the idea xD
you gotta give it dialga plakia and giratina themed keys for me
burnt bane
also tene, you were the klefki expert last time
how klefki like is this
lol, I was starting to work on Arceus/Klefki a few minutes ago but scraped the idea xD
you gotta give it dialga plakia and giratina themed keys for me
oh shit i can do that
instead of the arceus plates
give it the 3 orbs
zenith matrix
also tene, you were the klefki expert last time
well am i?
misty acorn
or just rework giratinas black wing into a key for example
burnt bane
i mean, the adamant, griseous and lustrous orbs as accessories would be fun to see
zenith matrix
id say lack of keys a bit, the dangly bits could be keys also inspired by the ring/the trio perhaps?
misty acorn
yeah, there are a lot of possibilities
burnt bane
always the lack of keys for you lol
zenith matrix
🤷♂️
well, at least for arceus the shape is really giving klefki away, opposed to u former fusion which is literally just a gasious smth that could be anything
burnt bane
my gasious smth is clearly a spiritomb klefki
zenith matrix
well i ment that spiritomb is a gasious smth, so forcing it into another shape doesnt give the body base away aswell as any other mon
naive summit
i feel like we should pin an explanation for the voting system...

but i do have to agree, not all of my favs made it

i think i am gonna animate my next entry for a contest to raise the chance

u have to add smth with ur animation, like...the other animated entries didnt made it far even tho they were

yeah an animation should betray the character those work well
just make it moving doesnt work

and polls tend to be weird so lets see
a1 is gonna win i think
but the rest is kinda hard to guess

oshawott for the win baby
lime latch
So Meta is overly detailed or funny animated📝
@lime latch and again, my thesis would be right
crude cedar
I think oshawott will win
Like this animation IS really cool and i like him
I would probably vote for him if i wasnt a self voter lmao

Looks like i didn't get through any bracket, heh.

i think its normal that people vote for themself here, why shouldnt they? Otherwise i think it is fine to try to predict who might win. That happens for political votes too.
fallen adder
I voted for that one
silver merlin
i voted for this
compact saddle
I voted for the one in the finals bracket
fallow bough
Eh, I don't like the idea that someone will go "oh if that one's going to win anyway then I'll vote for it" or "well I was going to vote for that one but if it'll win anyway then I'll vote for something else".
Voting should be affected by nothing more than personal preference.
lime latch
well thats never the case isaac. Everything influences you, at least no one is running campaigns here for sprites.
spark ginkgo
Some people vote based on who they think is going to win anyway.
Even if no one said anything.
fallow bough
But that isn't an outside influence.

Some people vote based on who they think is going to win anyway.
@spark ginkgo and why do you think its going to win? because you believe it is good lol

Like: this one is the cutest, but I have a weird sense of cuteness. I'll vote for this one instead.
fallen adder
It's more subliminal
silver merlin
I voted for the one in the finals bracket
scrapi bacc

I usually can tell when somebody is most likely to win, though I still never decide it based on anything but personal preferences usually. I'm torn between 3 in the current contest now

So im saying a thing
Technically mine IS thé powerfull one
Beecause he IS not slakoth but slaking
Only dragonite Can beat him

Stop it. Gullible people who don't post in the chat will vote for yours.

@fallow bough I can admit that I've done that before because I usually feel bad for a sprite I like that might not get any attention due to one being seen as the de facto winner already. 😅
I'm not sure if it's going to win but the one I voted for this time (and it was a very tough decision between two of them) has the Pokémon I probably find the most cute in an also very cute fusion so I liked it a lot. 😄
silver merlin
i voted for myself in the semis, since i knew i would lose
quartz locust
Aw Katten, you did a lovely sprite still. 🙂
mild furnace
Has nobody realized I submitted two Key Bulls to the comp?

have realized two, but didnt know they were both by u

I dont think people really care abour who submitted what

Its like he jinxs himself

we should bring mammuth to start doing that

I miss Mammuth. 😦

I think mammuth is focusing on comissions atm
He even changed his prices to see if more people would support him

He's probably doing really well after that video. 😄

Idk
silver merlin
what are these and why are they there, when they weren't there in the primaries?
a extra feature
naive summit
its not
misty acorn
yeah, I see now
naive summit
its not in the entry or the primary bracket it was in
zenith matrix
i dont take any blame
naive summit
makes me feel like I missed pixels when I'm pretty sure I didn't
misty acorn
👀
naive summit
hope I don't lose votes over that bs but I don't expect a win anyways
zenith matrix
can only think of two causes, which are both weird, its wrong on Isaacs side, as he does download them, so for whichever reason its due to that, or an indeterministic error, maybe Isaac has a broken RAM chunk 🤷♂️
mild furnace
Okay
naive summit
Well it wasn't on the file I entered or in the primary bracket it was in so
pretty sure it's a problem on their side, not mine

weird shit

only explanation i have that the program somehow copied them wrong
but also i dont know how the program works
zenith matrix
it cant, it constructs the image out of the entries, not copies stuff over from another sheet
im very certain that it isnt due to the programming, the only thing i can think of are hardware limitations or errors, like a defect RAM chunk for example
lime latch
you just want to blame isaac
zenith matrix
well, if u wanna prove me wrong, download the give entries and i hand u over the program, test it urself

could u zip me the folder real quick?

2
quartz locust
That was a big consensus so I shall follow it. 😄
naive summit
huh, if its replicatable why didn't it do that in the primary bracket though
weird shit
maybe because its a gif and not a png?
zenith matrix
yep, just looked into it
but as gifs are hella complicated and i used MIT licensed doce for the gif construction, i cant tell u why thats happening
umbral rune
I didn't even notice it when I voted
zenith matrix
the odd pixels even dont have any color used in the original sprite 🤷♂️
naive summit
technology is weird
lime latch
So no more gifs?
zenith matrix
u act like its completely broken and unusable 👀
ayyy, 4 bit version
gif is limited to 8bit, which is what was used, i dont think i can do anything about it, its just bad luck with colors
quartz locust
Why are the colours so strange? 😮
zenith matrix
4bit
brazen pawn
mostly pretty well
zenith matrix
here we go, just submit it as 96x96 if u are worried smth odd could happen, im not entirely sure why that was caused by resizing, but ill look into it
naive summit
interesting
I thought the program automatically kicked out sprites of the incorrect canvas size though
zenith matrix
no, it checks wheither its "pixelsize" compared to its height and lenght matches the set constraints
naive summit
ah, so it basically just makes sure pixel sizes are consistent?
zenith matrix
yep
naive summit
dope
zenith matrix
if im not mistaken, u can submit any multiple of 100x100 (current default constraint) not super sure tho, because its a while ago ive wrote that stuff and cant remember properly
just checked, can confirm
ok, ive got weird news for u, but firstly
debugging: the act of creating a hypothesis, denying such and coming up with a new culprit, over and over again
the issue was due to ur sprite somehow, i have literally no idea why, but when i imported it into piskel in 96x96 scale and saved it in 3x scale, the outcome was perfectly fine
i look into getting around that issue even if that odd occurence comes up
fallen adder
But it's Isaac comp
zenith matrix
😓 that was close
compact saddle
oh shit
sudden vector
As expected
mild furnace
I'm not disappointed
fallen adder
I did it because he is getting us pizza 👀
compact saddle
😓 that was close
that is why i voted
umbral rune
deploy the people getting mad that a gif won!
compact saddle
what
solar garden
Yay a gif won
quartz locust
@fallen adder Did you do an award for the Volcarona contest? 😮
fallen adder
Ye I did
compact saddle
wasnt calicorn the award
umbral rune
ye
zenith matrix
my congratulations to @verbal lance and @thick atlas
we need a bigger podium tho, too many really good entries
fallen adder
It was the flygon
umbral rune
congrats tho tene, great sprite/gif
quartz locust
Oh yeah, I just have a terrible memory. Lo siento. 😂
mild furnace
I mean I think it was deemed cute because the movements were, I don't personally find the Gliscor/Oshawott very 'cute' in the traditional sense.
quartz locust
Congrats Tene! That animation really was on another level, it was superb! 🙂
solar garden
Same Pengu
mild furnace
Yeah but that animation was 👌
zenith matrix
much obliged
quartz locust
I do agree with Pengu, the sprite itself isn't the cutest but that animation really gave it character. 😄
solar garden
It kinda looks like a cosplaying uncle
compact saddle
sad moment when didnt pass even a single bracket
solar garden
My first time passing a bracket I think
misty acorn
congrats tene and everyone, all sprites were really good 🥳
mild furnace
Scrapi, you have had your victories in the past
umbral rune
like on the if2 server
mild furnace
I think I was 4th?
compact saddle
Scrapi, you have had your victories in the past
victories? lol
mild furnace
Let me check again
compact saddle
like on the if2 server
that doesnt count, that shit is trash
quartz locust
Yeah Scrapi, you came on the podium in the last contest, that's still something to be proud of. 😄
umbral rune
that doesnt count, that shit is trash
@compact saddle
thick atlas
Thanks tene and you deserve it!
misty acorn
hell yeah, I got last place xD
mild furnace
No, the Mismagius/Vulpix got 4th
naive summit
Nice wins! That Gliwott animation was absolutely adorable, and the little Smearlithe chasing his tail aghhh ;w; Blissnite was dope too, cute in a different way from the others that made it stand out
mild furnace
I got 5th but who's counting
mild furnace
I guess you're right....
quartz locust
Phanpy / Squirtle was the one I voted for, I was struggling to decide between it and Smeargle / Growlithe. Bloody cute entries all around though, what a great contest. 😄
sudden vector
I got 0th
compact saddle
okay now can we never do this again 
mild furnace
Yup
naive summit
I'm just glad my little Shayvee got some votes ;w; Even if the random pixels there bugged me lmao
honestly I loved the Sentret/Azurill and the Eevee/Phanpy though
11/10 would hug
mild furnace
Yeah, I liked them both as well
quartz locust
I love how everyone has different favourites as well, that's why this contest worked so much I think. 🙂
naive summit
hey I love cute entries
quartz locust
It's nice seeing variation in what people like the most because we all find different things cute. 😄
mild furnace
But I'm not necessarily mad about who got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, which is rare for me
naive summit
such a nice change of pace from the big overdesigned legend entries n stuff
burnt bane
I mean I think it was deemed cute because the movements were, I don't personally find the Gliscor/Oshawott very 'cute' in the traditional sense.
This
compact saddle
my favorites were mine that didnt pass
mild furnace
Because honestly all of them were cute, it was just a matter of the best of the best
naive summit
I think it was more a matter of people's different ideals of 'cute'
umbral rune
cuteness is subjective
mild furnace
I think that's what it was
naive summit
some things are cuter to people than others
hot venture
I thought my eevee was gonna make it higher just cause when I posted for the first time people loved it
mild furnace
And therefore this is the most controversial competition so far
quartz locust
Yeah I'd say there's a lot more variation in what people find cute compared to what we find cool. 🙂
naive summit
Eevee/Phanpy, Solar?
hot venture
No it was sunkern/eevee
naive summit
oh god I loved that one too
sudden vector
So we had cuteness, are we going to have the opposite?
naive summit
I voted for it in the primaries
umbral rune
And therefore this is the most controversial competition so far
@mild furnace nit isn't
quartz locust
It's time to return to the Kaiju contests now, Scrapi will be delighted. 😉
compact saddle
mild furnace
Yeah
compact saddle
kaiju contest?
umbral rune
kaiju
quartz locust
Yeah there was a Kaiju contest just before I joined here. 🙂
quartz locust
Halloween needs that theme. 😉
mild furnace
As Howls said, I think this was quite the breath of fresh air from the monstrous legendary fusion competitions
compact saddle
@fallen adder if you do a kaiju contest 2 electric boogaloo i'll go for Anguirus just for you
naive summit
I really hope we can someday see classic contest with prevo mons sigh
give some love to shit like Gligar that has like,, 3 fusions
fallen adder
quartz locust
I'm still advocating a Gligar one. 🙂
compact saddle
lmao
quartz locust
Oh wow, Howls said it before me. 😂
zenith matrix
I'm just glad my little Shayvee got some votes ;w; Even if the random pixels there bugged me lmao
@naive summit im sorry, but i cant resolve that issue, might just be an odd compression on ur side and everything on how to fix it isnt true, to reiterate:
just save it with piskel i guess...that works at least guaranteed
BUT, the investigations lead to me finding an actual bug, the whole u can submit up 300x300 was only partially true, if u would have submitted such, it would have halfpixels...my bad, but its fixed now and id be sending it to the Contest Managers just now
mild furnace
Piplup ftw
compact saddle
tene done a fuc
quartz locust
Maybe some of the new ones like Deino and Litwick? 🙂
mild furnace
I mean I would've said Kecleon competition but the contest managers beat me to it from like 6 months ago
naive summit
ohhhh I'd love Litwick or Deino contests
quartz locust
THAT WAS 6 MONTHS AGO!? 😮
naive summit
babbbbs
mild furnace
I don't know, I'm just estimating
quartz locust
I came so close to winning that one. 😢
hot venture
But but, rotom comp
compact saddle
klefki contest 2 electric chair death please i dont want this boogaloo
quartz locust
This was such a simple entry yet it did well. 😄
compact saddle
i voted for that lol
mild furnace
I wasn't even on this server then
umbral rune
The kecleon contest was not 6 months ago
naive summit
but yeah some prevos need some love
mild furnace
I joined in the middle of the mantine comp, i remember
umbral rune
The kecleon contest was like 3 months ago
fallen adder
Sprite contest where you get half the canvas
mild furnace
I know, I was estimating
umbral rune
half pixel contest when?
fallen adder
👀
quartz locust
I like that Ang, it's a good idea. 😄
compact saddle
i think my entries were kecleon/torterra and necrozma/kecleon
idk if i had a third
quartz locust
Oddish fusions inbound. 😉
naive summit
Wynaut, Gligar, Anorith
mild furnace
smol contest when?
naive summit
they dont have shit for fusions ;w;
mild furnace
30x30 size canvas
fallen adder
4x4 canvas
mild furnace
quartz locust
Wynaut is one of my favourite babs, it's just so happy. ❤️
quartz locust
I always forget the Hoenn and Sinnoh fossils are in.
quartz locust
I loved that sprite. 😄
naive summit
yeah cranidos and shieldon and lileep could use love too
quartz locust
Such a cool idea. 🙂
mild furnace
Rampardos competition when?
quartz locust
Maybe a fossil contest could be another one? 🙂
naive summit
wasn't there already one?
mild furnace
nope
quartz locust
Ah there might have been before my time. 😦
misty acorn
I'm sad Howls only got 9 votes, if there was a TomatesChoiceAward, you would get it xD
naive summit
p sure I submitted a monstrosity aerodactyl/omastar
mild furnace
oh
quartz locust
There was an Omastar one though. 🙂
naive summit
I remember the omastar one
mild furnace
I thought you meant that the Rampardos comp already happened
compact saddle
if the next contest isnt about overdesigning entries i'll die
naive summit
I did omastar/torterra for that
fallen adder
There is one I would 100% give the BTA choice award to. But I don't wanna steal isaac's thunder
compact saddle
give it pls
quartz locust
If it's mine then steal away. 😄
naive summit
BTA choice and Isaac choice 
quartz locust
If not then don't dare steal the thunder. 😠
fallen adder
I will see if it's the same as isaac's
mild furnace
Oh c'mon why can't there be a BTA choice award and Isaac choice award?
compact saddle
cause ang scared
naive summit
Knuckles choice when

@crude cedar f you

I thought It was shorter and I almost panicked
@compact saddle I give you 3.4% of my power for your sprite

I don't have any ideas for a Klefki fusion but some of the entries so far are dope
compact saddle
watch tene get a streak
quartz locust
👀 i got 2nd wooo! thanx Tenedranox and congrats!
Your sprite was great! For some reason I thought Sjoba made it. 😂
I don't have any ideas for a Klefki fusion but some of the entries so far are dope
I didn't until someone said one in the chat and I rolled with it. 😉
compact saddle
bla can i have your strenght aswell
quartz locust
You don't find it cute? 😮
I thought it was the second most cute design there was. 😄
compact saddle
paint monki didnt go through
crude cedar
I just dont undestand the paint circle thing
quartz locust
It was chasing its tail. 😂
zenith matrix
watch tene get a streak
@compact saddle i honestly doubt it, theres a certain fusion id been watching closely bubbling to the top
quartz locust
i honestly doubt it, theres a certain fusion id been watching close bubble to the top
Which one? 👀
zenith matrix
thats the right one asking 😎
mine is completely off style, have planned stuff to amaze ya via animation, but i dont think ill make it in time
zenith matrix
Arceus
quartz locust
There's so many creative entries to this contest already, I'm liking it a lot more than the Volcarona one. 🙂
compact saddle
the only reason i disagree is because i would never put anything relating to volcarona down 😂
fallen adder
With the acceptance of @fallow bough himself. We are giving the Mod choice award to A3 aka @mild furnace's sprite. It was overall well detailed and a cute little boi
mild furnace
Thank you! 🙂 ❤️
zenith matrix
well, guess i shouldnt have pushed so hard for Gliscor in the end
but thats indeed one of the cutest 👍
burnt bane
now that is cute
mild furnace
I think that all of the entries were cute!
normal nebula
Only reason im not a fan of the winner is cause oshawott isnt in the game. I know it doesnt have to be, but the pointlessness is a mark against it imo. Otherwise id have voted for it
mild furnace
I mean i did vote for my own, not because I have a high ego, just because I thought it was the cutest of the cutest
So, bias.
crude cedar
The gliscor oshawott 
lime latch
will it be animated as a server icon? or is the server not boosted hard enough?
zenith matrix
dunno wheither i should be happy or sad that my sprite created so much turmoil....
calm quail
oh 4th place is pretty good
zenith matrix
but, there must be 3 boosters for animated i think? we got atm only Sjoba and Scrapi aint we?
mild furnace
I mean the fact that it's controversial just means it got a lot of attention, if you're looking at it glass-half-full.
umbral rune
we have 3 atm @zenith matrix
normal nebula
There are 3 boosts
umbral rune
for now
mild furnace
Wait who's the third?
fallow bough
You also only need two.
normal nebula
You can check by clicking the gem next to the server name

I'll change the icon when I'm home. Out getting pizza just now. 👀

"Isaac: Scropi the scopie"

I'd love to, but I don't seem to have the ability to change your nickname. My phone is jank.
compact saddle
just say the name lol
fallow bough
Oh hey, it changed to the one I tested.
Uh, it wasn't my first choice but it's your name now.
thorn robin
Google it duh
fallow bough
I just typed in sounds. 👀
quartz locust
dunno wheither i should be happy or sad that my sprite created so much turmoil....
@zenith matrix Honestly it's good that it's a talking point, and I think everyone really likes it. There's just differences of opinion on animation within these contests I think. 😅
compact saddle
lmao
fallen adder
Change his name to test
quartz locust
Cue the "Test" song from The Simpsons when Homer's with The Rolling Stones. 😂
I'll take my obscure Simpsons references and leave.

4bit contest when? 😅
silver merlin
never i hope
polar pewter
Only Slaking
@wind topaz I just wonder why some full evo lines are in and not others I guess
quartz locust
I think it's to increase the variety in what we can fuse, like realistically I doubt many people would make Shelgon or Larvesta fusions. 😅
quartz locust
This man right here has the best opinions. 😉
silver merlin
yesh
compact saddle
id rather a blank canvas contest 
silver merlin
Electronic Cigarette Fountain Themed Contest
royal osprey
id rather a blank canvas contest :pogAYAYA:
couldnt agree more
quartz locust
I really don't like that idea because it seems to go against the whole idea of "here's a theme/Pokémon, have at it". 😦
So you'd end up with loads of legendary fusions and rather than a blank canvas I think it'd devolve into a fill the canvas one. 😢
compact saddle
¯_(ツ)_/¯
brazen pawn
We need a roserade comp. It has only 1 custom Sprite or so
quartz locust
Yeah I'd really like that! 😄
silver merlin
Electronic Cigarette Fountain Themed Contest
compact saddle
so every entry is poison type/can learn toxic
silver merlin
yesh
quartz locust
I don't know how it'd work but a reference contest could be cool, where you submit things that reference non-Pokémon stuff (or even Pokémon not in the game). An expansion of the old idea I had for the Digimon contest that nobody wanted. 😂
dusk schooner
Pokemon reference comp
compact saddle
that isnt a reference as far as i can tell
dusk schooner
It's a pokemon reference
compact saddle
no u
quartz locust
I'd probably submit Ol' Controversial. 😂
compact saddle
i'd submit this, nobody can even tell what the fusion is lol
silver merlin
Zapdos/Slaking?
compact saddle
yes
silver merlin
ey
crude cedar
id say such contest be dumb :/
in the end it would be like, who picked the most popular character instead of fusion quality..
well that too ofc. but it wouldnt be first priority
which i think it should
twilit ibex
quality > popularity
quartz locust
I wouldn't agree, if someone made a character I liked a lot but did a mediocre sprite I'd pick the better sprite of something I was less familiar with. 😅
compact saddle
submits regular blaziken sprite
lime latch
The challenge would be creating a kind of triplefusion. Basically poke 1 poke 2 and reference
quartz locust
Yeah that's the type of thing I'd reward points to. You can clearly see that it's two Pokémon being fused to reference something. I still really like my Ho-oh / Blaziken that was a reference to Garudamon. 😄
compact saddle
i dont think i have any real good reference sprites that look like their fusion
quartz locust
That's a you problem. 😂
compact saddle
wow thanks

Who's the second Pokémon in that one? 😮
silver merlin
yesh
compact saddle
if you dislike the idea it just means you're basic 😂
lime latch
Who's the second Pokémon in that one? 😮
@quartz locust cranidos😅
An interesting contest would be a minimal pixel contest
Use the smallest amount of pixels for an identifiable fusion
compact saddle
no
mild furnace
The end of the Klefki comp is tomorrow, the suspense is Killing me

kocnodon😅
what's a kocnodon?
quartz locust
I second Will's question. 🙂
rain stump
is that the german name or something?
lime latch
The superior name yes.
And it sounded so stupid, i thought they used the english name
mild furnace
Rampardos has the highest base Attack stat of any non-legendary
and Bastiodon is the same but with Defense
compact saddle
what stats from slaking are comparable to groudon and kyogre again
lime latch
You can compare all stats, but most will be different from eaxh other🙃
zenith matrix
huh, not that many entries this time around in that contest, at least i doubt it will get flooded the next day
compact saddle
bruh who would even think to make more than 1 klefki
only who has great creativity
zenith matrix
klefki/klefki, but keyrings, onto the keyrings, onto the keyrings, onto the keyrings....
compact saddle
um
lime latch
I just had a stupid idea
zenith matrix
should the program exclude sprites that arent labeled "by []"?
rain stump
something something keyblade
compact saddle
should the program exclude sprites that arent labeled "by []"?
@zenith matrix yes
zenith matrix
@fallen adder yes?
fallen adder
That would probable cause more problems than not tbh. Those types of things can be manually removed
fallen adder
Cause problems if someone who actually puts in their name doesn't put it in the exact format
zenith matrix
ah gotcha
normal nebula
couldnt you use regex to determine if it only has numbers, not letters
zenith matrix
sure, but what if the name is a number? 🤔 well ofc id could check wheither theres anything following the sprite name, but putting mon names and such would overcomplicate it and put restrictions onto the formating for no good reason, so BTA is right, its probably more failsave to just check by hand
normal nebula
just spitballing here, but imagine if there was a bot and people had to submit through discord, the bot saves the image and their name and all that automatically
probably not necessary, but a fun idea
zenith matrix
would require a custom bot to be written, the application is probably to specific to be covered by any mod out "there"
but i like the idea, i did suggested smth similiar months ago, regarding sprite pack generation automatization
fallow bough
Chippy said he'd be fine with being replaced by a bot if such a thing could work.
The issue is that it can't just take a sprite from the gallery instantly when it's posted, since some stuff gets removed if it breaks the rules. It would need to be run every month and it would need to know when the starting point was.
I'm not saying either thing is particularly difficult, just that it's a bit more.
zenith matrix
id imagine it like, the bot uploads everything, but checks wheither the name is valid and if its at proper scale, if not it gets rejected
everything which gets uploaded, is put in a temp drive
for this temp drive a program could be used which does multiple things, in several iterations:
it shows u each sprite in the temp drive, with the corresponding sprites for its fusion bases, the user has to validate those bases or has to correct them
in the next iteration, each of the sprites in the temp drive, will be shown in conjuction of all its alts, which then the user could approve, or delete individual sprites from (eg outdated alts)
would require quite a lot of programming, but this way at least the process of what Chippy has been doing would be streamlined and faster, which also means any trustworthy user could use it
woeful lintel
congratz tenedranox for wining the contest !
zenith matrix
coming in late, but none the less, much obliged 😅
+checking if the comment for the sprite in the discord post is correct, for easier searching in the gallery, damn those typos
zenith matrix
still feel heart struck
