I do have the rights, but Isaac does them. We always post in that format in #event-announcements. just scroll up a little

I'm really interested in seeing how this Klefki one pans out actually, people got really creative and there's some phenomenal entries as always. 😄
quartz locust
Your concept was actually really clever. 🙂

@fallen adder probably not meant to happen, but we can see vote numbers

Yup just realised

Remake the poll xD
misty acorn
is the reason I can't see the hidden poll channel that I'm not a contest manager?
umbral rune
probably
fallen adder
Ye. Mods used to have admin checked but recently they were taken away for the individual stuff
Same reason you can't see bot chat

For a moment I thought I did something bad

Now that you mention it there really was a massive whiplash in entries. 😂
Though my chances of winning are now 4%. 
misty acorn
feels like it
I guess kelfki is a challange many (me included) dont feel up to
~~ or they just don't like the design and don't wanna work with it ~~
quartz locust
Klefki is a really controversial Pokémon in the first place, but honestly it was quite fun to fuse. 😄
naive summit
I just didn't have any ideas for it, but some of the entries are p solid
and very creative
burnt bane
Double voting huh
quartz locust
It is quite finnicky though at times. 😅
I think double voting could be good in cases of self-voting, gives the option to acknowledge someone else's sprite too. 🙂
fallen adder
Nah there is a chat for bot command stuff like the poll
misty acorn
I feel like if multiple votes are allowed, we should make it so that the first vote is stronger than the 2nd vote.
Because you usually don't think that 2 sprites are equally good and giving 2 votes with the same power isn't representative of someones opinion then
Just throwing it out here for discussion
fallen adder
Honostly I really wanted to weight the votes for I don't think dyno does that. I would do 3 votes if it had weights
weary pagoda
Still see the vote counters
fallen adder
Second vote Is because of the situations where everyone votes for the one really good sprite but then the second best sprite that everyone acknowledges loses to the crap one a couple of people voted for
misty acorn
Tenes gif is going nuts again 😅
Well, it's his fault, so...

~~ 2 votes for 4 sprites is a bit much ngl ~~

I keep getting paranoid because the Pollmaster doesn't say "your first vote" and "your second vote". 😅

You can click the ? to see your votes

Wow, I had no idea that was what the ? did. I don't know what I thought it did in hindsight. 😂

misty acorn
hot venture
well in platinum that rotom key is a "key item" that gives you access to the other forms so I thought my idea was kinda creative
not trying to toot my own horn but im proud of the idea
does the next comp start in the middle of voting for the current one?
normal nebula
I liked the idea but I didn't like how the sprites for the forms were just straight rips of their icons and not original
lofty aurora
i feel like icons and sprites kinda clash in style a bit

thats fair

@fallen adder sure it cant weight them?
calm quail
is there not a new contest subject yet?
calm quail
the last 2 times there was one when the poll started ^^ or is it not always like that
fallen adder
Usually happens in second stage of voting
@fallen adder sure it cant weight them?
@zenith matrix that is weight for a user. You can set it so each roll is worth a certain amount
zenith matrix
Honostly I really wanted to weight the votes for I don't think dyno does that. I would do 3 votes if it had weights
@fallen adder im confused, did u ment u cant set it for rolls?
fallen adder
For each vote
zenith matrix
ooh, so u mean first vote 3 votes, second vote 2 etc?
fallen adder
Ye
zenith matrix
dyno aint opensource is it?
fallen adder
🤷♂️
zenith matrix
if it were, weighting votes wont be the hardest challenge i guess, but if its isnt, writting a bot ourself could be a bit of work

It’s not Dino we currently use

When I enter contests I do

especially with 2 votes, theres no reason not to
crude cedar
I do .i sometimes vote for my own if i like em the most. but quite often i vote for others
fallen adder
I would usually vote for myself if I don't think there is a really good one
crude cedar
I'm very indecisive when it comes to voting because there are a lot of good entries and I always have multiple favourites!
zenith matrix
im too hesitant to do so, because i cant handle being self-reflected enough, i like and hate mine the most at the same time
crude cedar
ofc i vote with my 30 bots and alts for my entries B)

u havent really won often for such
crude cedar
heh... ;;

It's like how I vote for myself at the end of an overwatch game 😤 👌 💦
crude cedar
im confused on the vote ammount aswell usually
like... sometimes there like 150+ accumulative votes. and other times there like 40~
fallen adder
depends if people are interested in the contest or not. more people entering usually means more votes. This time around there is double the votes due to two votes

Good luck for next time then! I'm sure your entries looked good!

he'll become a mod and ban everyone in the discord

I'd give the I think this sprite is great award!

Removing my eyes from the screen now.
that one has become my most liked instagram post xs
people seem to like it . im sorry

Just wait until an artist draws it
crude cedar
This is my personal favorite of mine though
normal nebula
it's a good sprite but it proportionally it doesn't match other pokemon, so it makes it seem like a giant
crude cedar
Don't be sorry. I'm glad people can like it. I'm sorry I can't appreciate it as much as some.
@fallen adder I tried to comission a pixiv artist that focuses on gardevoir
but they never replied xc
fallen adder
Oof
crude cedar
i like that one aswell from my roster
I mean, I did have that person draw that NSFW drawing of my alolan sandslash/gardevoir. Turns out it really wasn't that bad.
and this cutie
fallen adder
I've not seen that one but I actually really like it. the stomach seems a bit strange though ( the fighter one)

@crude cedar IJHWDUAIOHUDFHOAWHO WHAT ??!?!?!?!?!??!?! Now in all honesty.. that youre ok with that is .... surprising

still wondering how it looks wacky

Yeah. That's because all they did was draw it with a bottom. It was almost comedic but I can appreciate the effort.

are u even over age? 👀

And I definitely am.

i think i actually alway went with the nearest decade

i meant regular people without a pure soul

Ah ok.

but yeah not nsfw at all

As I said, it was quite literally a fusion with a comedic bottom.
I agree, the art looked nice. Yeah, we should probably take this convo there.
Speak of, what do you guys think the next contest theme might be?
compact saddle
blank
burnt bane
something something imposter theme
normal nebula
we had greek mythology, maybe some other form of mythology. Japanese maybe. But that might be too easy cause a lot of pokemon are already themed after japanese mythology, idk
you know what might be an interesting theme? HMs. Like Pokemon that embody certain HMs, like Lapras with Surf, or a pokemon that looks like it's all about Cutting, etc.
crude cedar
Like scyther?
normal nebula
yeah I guess so, but then again it's kind of too vague and open to interpretation probably
one theme I know I would like would be Demonic, like references to actual mythological demons like how Kadabra is a Baphomet reference and stuff
or maybe "Magical" with themes around wizardry, magicians, etc.
lime latch
i would like a jungle theme
normal nebula
that could be fun
quartz locust
Congrats on everyone that got through to the finals! Choosing who to vote for was a really tough choice again, even with two votes. 😅

dusk schooner
We did sorta have one of those prior, with the Prehistoric contest
quartz locust
Ang semis pls
I actually understand why there were no semis for this one specifically. There were way less entries, some brackets would oly be knocking out one sprite which would be really demotivating to that spriter. 😦
crude cedar
its demotivating how my keygen didnt do it but that dumb headphones one did
that just showed me that the more effort i put in in my work the worse it will be
silver merlin
I actually understand why there were no semis for this one specifically. There were way less entries, some brackets would oly be knocking out one sprite which would be really demotivating to that spriter. 😦
im still quite sad my keyve didnt make it
but
i broke my vote record
so thats a pog
quartz locust
I was shocked by that (I voted for it), it was a close one though and you got a lot of votes. Don't be disheartened. 😄
silver merlin
thank you :P!
zenith matrix
im not the biggest fan of no semis either, because imagine the "objectively best" 3 sprites were in one bracket, then only 2 move on and the "objectively best" third wouldnt rank third
tho i appreciate the two votes
quartz locust
I think no semis only works when there are very few entries into a contest like this one. Some brackets only had 4 entries, after all. 😂
zenith matrix
the matter is not the amount of sprites, ang could have gone down to 4 brackets instead of 5, the system is designed to find the best 3, letting only two move on no matter how u turn it contradicts that very goal
the final now is as big as the semis would have been....
multiple votes however dont contradict such, it even enhances it, tho 3 weighted votes would be the nicest
one could think of giving 6 votes each, so u can vote 3 times the one u like the most, two times...etc
quartz locust
True, there could have been less brackets. I think going from such a big contest to such a little one is what's caused all the 'issues'. 😅
zenith matrix
@fallen adder little ping, pls read the written above

its demotivating how my keygen didnt do it but that dumb headphones one did
@crude cedar tbf its a good joke sprite but not really useable as pokemon... the flat window in the background doesnt fit pokemon... i dislike tenes sprite for that reason too

ouch

oof

i like it but i wouldnt use that mon specifically for that
i vote them judging by art not by style

Whats the difference in your opinion
compact saddle
?

I think you mean design instead of style
twilit ibex
Are All the contest entries in the Gallery?
lime latch
Dont think so
Some are from reddit, some are non ingame fusions and some are just not posted there
twilit ibex
;-; welp hopefully the one I like will be added when the contest is over
zenith matrix
normally if they arent by a reddit user they get added if the mons are in the game, never heard of a case of a contest entry which wasnt added if those criterias are met
calm quail
I actually really liked the headphones one
its a good concept
maybe its because my headphones always do get tangled to shit
quartz locust
nah
@compact saddle This is where we differ greatly. 😂
compact saddle
we differ in sprite opinions and pokemon tastes
quartz locust
Pokémon taste is fine because I pretty much like all Pokémon (even the ones I say I dislike), I'm just a real stickler about sticking to BW style as much as possible. 😂
zenith matrix
||everyone hates my work😑 ||
quartz locust
Not at all, I love the body itself! The animation is also good, but I was never a fan of the flat key. You executed it brilliantly though. 🙂
compact saddle
||everyone hates my work😑 ||

i guess style will be the ever lasting bane of the contests
normal nebula
I think it does fit the style, for a legendary

quite the controversial opinion, beware Blaquazas ban hammer
normal nebula
Wait, were people able to vote the same thing twice? That changes everything
compact saddle
no?
normal nebula
Oh ok
compact saddle
well as far as i know no
ask one of the contest managers, or tene who knows more than them

Wait, were people able to vote the same thing twice? That changes everything
@normal nebula why did you have to make a amazing sprite that beat mine?

impossible

i made the program, designed the voting system, but i am no bot owner or anything, just the contest mangers wise consultant

Idk katten, just going by preliminary vote numbers I dont think ill win. Ill be lucky if I get 3rd

Oh yeah that one was nice
compact saddle
because the other ones were better, obviously
xoto's xatu is a smart concept, and xillo's scizor is fenomenal
i just didnt have any motivation to make that sprite special or anything, i only scratched it cause the existing pieces wouldnt work for what i had in mind

funny number
fallen adder
Wait was it 👀
normal nebula
yeah
fallen adder
I just can't read. don't mind me 
normal nebula
cause tene brought up the idea of six votes and voting multiple times for the same one
to emulate weights
zenith matrix
on that note, for some reason i forgot ppl suck and i absolutely thought while stating such that everyone would actually not vote more than they should for the same sprite...silly me
normal nebula
way too complicated of an idea to be practical, but I was just curious about whether voting the same thing twice was even possible
I doubt it though
zenith matrix
i wouldnt say too complicated, but impractrical
but i wonder the same, cause that could have lopsided the votes
normal nebula
I meant too complicated for most people, they'd just be like "what"
zenith matrix
and yet again i was too generous to humanity, ure absolutely right

Wow, I can't say I expected that one to win, but congrats to Xoto and everyone else 🥳
naive summit
damn sad the dreamcatcher one didn't place, I thought that was one of the most creative design-wise tbh
normal nebula
that is a surprise
naive summit
wasn't the biggest fan of the klink one since I think klefki got a bit lost in the concept, but it was a really cool concept
sleek drum
Unexpected
ashen star
Is truly something undefined by the laws of nature
fallow bough
Now to try and balance it out, why don't you try saying something nice @ashen star? 👀
ashen star
What I said, was not directly rude
calm quail
i was loving the dream catcher one as well yea h
fallow bough
What I said, was not directly rude
@ashen star I disagree wholeheartedly.
calm quail
i don't think you get to determine what other people find rude 😂
the scizor one is also really good
ashen star
I don’t, but so can’t determine what I think is or isn’t rude. What I said is basically a dramatic way of saying I didn’t expect this outcome.
fallow bough
I don’t, but so can’t determine what I think is or isn’t rude. What I said is basically a dramatic way of saying I didn’t expect this outcome.
@ashen star You said the taste of the server was undefined by the laws of nature. What is that meant to mean? 👀
Next contest wasn't said already
@solar garden I have it ready, posting it soon.
compact saddle
@fallen adder award?
crude cedar
Well done winner and to those who placed! That was certainly an interesting looking fusion! I thought all of the klefki fusions looked great! 😁
ashen star
I don’t, but so can’t determine what I think is or isn’t rude. What I said is basically a dramatic way of saying I didn’t expect this outcome.
@ashen star

Ang Award? 
sudden vector
Gg
crude cedar
I'll try and join the next contest!
I thought there were a lot of creative entries with this one!
ashen star
I already explained what it meant.
naive summit
my favorites were probably the dreamcatcher, the scizor, and lowkey (heh pun) the staryu
calm quail
im curious what you'll come up with jangles
sudden vector
I'll try and entering next time
calm quail
I skipped this one because I, don't like working with klefki
ashen star
You misunderstanding me doesn’t have anything to do with me because unfortunately I can’t do anything abt that
compact saddle
i would have skipped if i didnt obligate myself to participate every contest
thus why no effort in my entry lol
sudden vector
Same, I really don't like working with klefki
normal nebula
My favorites were A5, A3, B2, A1, and my own
crude cedar
The dreamcatcher was such a creative use of the Pokémon!
I'll just have to see what the next contest's theme is! I'm gonna be honest, I've already won one so from here on out, I'll be pretty happy with how any of my future entries place!
calm quail
is the blue role permanent?
fallow bough
Spriter or contest champion?
calm quail
champion
fallow bough
Yeah.
crude cedar
I didn't enter solely because I was busy! However, I was definitely brewing up ideas because klefki is a unique Pokémon to fuse!
I'm sure you will be able to get it one day!
calm quail
i had some ideas but I couldnt really get them to work
naive summit
plaaaaants 🌴
calm quail
i had a clefki ambipom idea
compact saddle
if the klefki contest was one i was demotivated by, this next one..
fuck no
naive summit
I hope to see some Meganium fusions
compact saddle
👋
fallow bough
🪴
crude cedar
Huh, plants. Looks like I'm making a roserade/torterra fusion rose garden.
sudden vector
Hope we get some Voltorb fusions competitions 
naive summit
I feel like meganium has a lot of potential to have a different type of flower around its neck based on what it's fused with
calm quail
ooh they have to be specifically in pokemon style this time?
compact saddle
should =/= have to
crude cedar
I'll try my best to make it as close to Pokémon style as possible!
normal nebula
should I enter this
crude cedar
Ooo, someone make a chandelure fusion but base it on a terrarium! Because of the terrarium being encased in glass!
sudden vector
That was fast tomate
naive summit
I'm kinda sad that most meganium fusions just recolor the flower, I'd love to see more creativity used with it, like Sjoba's mantine one, or Milchik's Omastar one
sudden vector
I ain't got no plant fusion so maybe I need to sit this one out.
misty acorn
~~It's nice to have a backlock of sprites, so that you can just look what it's most for any themed contest and just throw it in 👀 ~~
normal nebula
I have no ideas atm but maybe ill think of something
naive summit
venusaur/meganium could be fun!
fallow bough
I ain't got no plant fusion so maybe I need to sit this one out.
@sudden vector I mean the point is to make one. 👀
hot venture
Time to enter my Sunkern/Eevee again
fallen adder
Close enough to a plant right?
sudden vector
Yeah I know
compact saddle
I mean the point is to make one. 👀
that would be the reason i'd sit out this time
crude cedar
I think this is the only meganium fusion I've made!
compact saddle
i mean i dont even like plants irl, why would i want to make one as a sprite
crude cedar
I ain't planning on submitting it because I'm actually kinda excited for this contest!
compact saddle
not counting the fact that i hate grass types
fallow bough
i mean i dont even like plants irl, why would i want to make one as a sprite
@compact saddle Then don't enter. 👀
I'm not sure if you want me to talk you into it or what? 😅
compact saddle
yes, like you did with the cute one
fallow bough
Because you didn't think you'd do well with the cute one, and I think you made solid sprites for that.
crude cedar
I love plants and flowers! I just love the beauty of them! And I also love how interesting some of them can look too!
fallen adder
I'll use the plant on my desk for reference
sleek drum
Time for oddish fusions
crude cedar
What plant is it?
fallen adder
Good question
compact saddle
Because you didn't think you'd do well with the cute one, and I think you made solid sprites for that.
i dont think i wouldn't do well this time, but in fact i just dont even like the theme
hot venture
Do we have any cactus pokemon in this game?
fallow bough
Thought you wanted me to talk you into it.
fallow bough
I'll give you a high five.
compact saddle
are you a succulent
crude cedar
I don't think so!
compact saddle
sad
civic wadi
Those are cool!
compact saddle
tell me when you see a succulent
crude cedar
Thank you!
And I see some when I go to Lidls sometimes as they have a small potted plants bit outside.
weary pagoda
Ooh I'll like this contest !
crude cedar
Nice! Torterra and something (water type) could make a rainforest if someone thinks of something neat for it!
compact saddle
rainforest?
thats my home ur speaking of
umbral rune
so?
compact saddle
so what
crude cedar
Then make something to represent your home DK!
umbral rune
we don't need it
normal nebula
does sudowoodo count as a plant
crude cedar
It could do?
compact saddle
Then make something to represent your home DK!
weary pagoda
Good question, probably not
normal nebula
maybe if I mix it with a grass pokemon
crude cedar
Yeah, that could work!
weary pagoda
I've got an idea with Vileplume !
crude cedar
S maractus in the game
compact saddle
no
crude cedar
Venusaur. For the Venus fly trap lol

I remember I have a roserade machamp
Perfect
Nice!

How could you spit on Celebi
normal nebula
celebi is cool but doesnt have much potential to do things with
compact saddle
How could you spit on Celebi
i could stomp it all day
normal nebula
does a "power plant" count as a plant
crude cedar
I recognize you, Mr treby
compact saddle
no, axis
twilit ibex
The poll results are not what I expected
compact saddle
is cradily in game
umbral rune
yeah, same
compact saddle

twilit ibex
I didn't expect Klang to be 1st
thick atlas
me neither^^
fallen adder
Oh no! I dropped my Omastar/Klefki by @thorn robin down a sewer grate. Now how am I supposed to give it the BTA award for it's cute design and creative keychains
twilit ibex
Congrats Xoto
thick atlas
thank you for your votes! there were many great and creative ideas in this contest. therefore im very happy to have won
crude cedar
Oh no! I dropped my Omastar/Klefki by @thorn robin down a sewer grate. Now how am I supposed to give it the BTA award for it's cute design and creative keychains :PepeCry:
@fallen adder lmao noicz

how did omastar/klefki fall down there

Don't mind my botch job of those sewer holes

Yeah I don't think I like any plant pokemon enough to do this one. Ill probably sit it out. 🤷♂️
twilit ibex
Rip
umbral rune
just post a venusaur sprite, and change a few pixels, and call it a venusaur/venusaur
normal nebula
actually, does corsola count
twilit ibex
Coral would be a nice one
normal nebula
coral isnt plants I guess?
crude cedar
Coral is alive!
fallen adder
Corsola forest :o
umbral rune
this is what I found from a quick google search
crude cedar
But it's considered an animal
normal nebula
oh wait, we are allowed to use pokemon not in the game aren't we? so theoretically I could do Cacturne or something. But I dont generally like to waste effort on sprites that dont help fill out the dex
dry garden
tumbleweed?
twilit ibex
I hate science logic
crude cedar
Science. It's baffling but very interesting!
misty acorn
I hate science logic
I dont believe in gravity
fallen adder
crude cedar
twilit ibex
Sounds like farming reeee
crude cedar
Self farming I suppose you could say.
normal nebula
I guess I could just take a random legendary and give it oddish's face and head grass
crude cedar
I mean, that'd make it too powerful for this world!
compact saddle
eternatus
crude cedar
With bones made from roots
compact saddle
and a oddish face
crude cedar
Yes!
normal nebula
actually I just got a pretty decent idea, might do it, we'll see
crude cedar
Looking forward to seeing your idea!
misty acorn
Looking forward to submitting this for the 3rd time and get 2 votes again
compact saddle
do it, i dare you
normal nebula
you could try making it less nightmare fuel
compact saddle
thats what make sit good though
normal nebula
the human hands are the worst part
compact saddle
they are the best
crude cedar
That's what I look like on a daily basis. That's my natural look.
compact saddle
so you are indeed a succulent
normal nebula
actually im too lazy to do my idea so Ill just give it away for anyone that wants it. Deoxys / Tangrowth with DNA-like tentacles
crude cedar
That ain't a succulent though!
That sounds pretty neat!
misty acorn
Wait plants like Pokémon grass type or literally plants
the end product has to look plant like
twilit ibex
Tangrowth could make some cool designs
twilit ibex
Is Tropius in game?
normal nebula
no but it doesnt have to be
solar garden
And Venus fly traps do make their own food @twilit ibex
twilit ibex
solar garden
They use the bugs they catch as a form of fertilizer

lime latch
@misty acorn @fallow bough hate me guys but i wouldnt say that the torterra from tomate is a plant
normal nebula
it has a plant in it, keks
lime latch
Its a walking planet/ island
compact saddle
planets have plants
normal nebula
I would assume regigigas would count, if moss counts as a plant
twilit ibex
Head 🗡️
crude cedar
It's got beautiful colours!
twilit ibex
Head 🔪
crude cedar
It's head is clearly on its back!
twilit ibex
crude cedar
Exactly!
lime latch
I would assume regigigas would count, if moss counts as a plant
I wouldnt count it as plantlike looking
twilit ibex
Coould fuse plant with it tho
normal nebula
they didnt say only plantlike, as long as some prominent part of it is plantlike
which the tree part is
lime latch
the moss is not the prominent part lmao
lime latch
And this is the only rule we got
The resulting fusion must look planty. A planty looking Pokémon used in a non-plantlike fusion does not fit this theme and will not be included in the final vote.
twilit ibex
Volcarona looks like a flower
lime latch
Volcarona is a moth
misty acorn
The sprite is basically supossed to be a zen garden. It has a tree, cherry blossoms, moss and grass
I would say that it fits the theme, but in the end its up for Isaac to decide 🤷♂️
normal nebula
thats talking about stuff like, if you fused weepinbell with steelix and made it all steel and got rid of all the plant bits
crude cedar
I think I've got a couple of ideas which I might do for this contest! Just depends on whether I can execute them effectively!
lime latch
Garden =/= plant
crude cedar
The sprite is basically supossed to be a zen garden. It has a tree, cherry blossoms, moss and grass
I would say that it fits the theme, but in the end its up for Isaac to decide 🤷♂️
@misty acorn I think it's a really neat theme!
normal nebula
I would call gardens "planty"
crude cedar
It's where plants grow so I'd count it!
normal nebula
and it has plants in the sprite
misty acorn
Nah man, I was in electrical doing tasks
crude cedar
Me wishing I had friends to play among us with lol
twilit ibex
Wacky is sus let's vote em out
crude cedar
I assume that's an among us reference?
misty acorn
yeah
twilit ibex
Now jump out
lime latch
Lets Vote Weird out, he questions the reference
crude cedar
Ah ok!
And she lol
crude cedar
I mean, I could send a pic of myself to prove I am indeed a woman!
twilit ibex
Carnivine/Yanmega

Like, that's a very easy thing for me to do.
And jeez no.

Too late for jk

i never asked for newds 
fallen adder
Just do it with anime filter
crude cedar
How does one simply access the anime filter?
normal nebula
this server is a mix of people of all ages so any talk like that should probably not be here. It gets into very sketchy territory, even when joking around.
lime latch
compact saddle
my face is already anime irl
cant filter it
thats what japanese ancestry gives you
fallen adder
How does one simply access the anime filter?
@crude cedar snapchat

I don't have snapchat lol
placid pelican
im surprised the arceus/klefki didnt win because its animated
compact saddle
thats partly the reason it lost aswell
placid pelican
oh why
placid pelican
oh interesting
lime latch
i can imagine the 2 vote system helped ma boy klink
placid pelican
besides the animated one i think my favourite would be the klefki/scizor because klefki was uniquely used as a head
normal nebula
klefki as a head is hard
placid pelican
yeah
normal nebula
they did it well
placid pelican
mhm
quartz locust
How does an Exeggutor / Meganium sound? I've got some plans for how I expect it to turn out. 😄
placid pelican
i think that could look cool
quartz locust
I can use my custom Meganium sprite for it too. 🙂
lime latch
This will end up being just a grass type contest
quartz locust
Also just realised I forgot to say it, congrats @thick atlas on the win! You had some really solid entries this time around. 😄
compact saddle
blaquaza knows how i'd suffer with a plant theme
as most are grass types
thick atlas
thank you blaquaza
misty acorn
You can do dead plants or a weezing or something/roserade with wilted hands
quartz locust
Shplop, for some reason I can't find my Meganium. I'll just use the Rapidash one as a base instead. 🙂
misty acorn
~~That way you can also express your hatred for plants ~~
compact saddle
Shplop, for some reason I can't find my Meganium. I'll just use the Rapidash one as a base instead. 🙂
i literally thought you were saying you were gonna use a custom rapidash sprite as a meganium fusion
and i was outstandingly confused
~~That way you can also express your hatred for plants ~~
YES
quartz locust
The Galarian one from that contest. 😂
Also I just realised it's because I didn't move my files over to my laptop yet. 😅
misty acorn
Jezza can submit his self made piranha plant now 
thorn robin
Thanks @fallen adder for the BTA Award
It was a shame that it lost on its bracket ;-;
crude cedar
where can you see the BTA award ?
misty acorn
crude cedar
ahh
lime latch
so this counts in your opinion @normal nebula ? It got leaves 😄 and it is suppose to resemble the weed at the bottom of a street lantern
crude cedar
I'm just saying, you could go for the whole terrarium angle with this fusion, with it having a glass casing on the back.
lucid brook
Glass body with purple plants inside
crude cedar
These flowers kinda look a bit like fire so that could work!
lime latch
I am still bias towards these kind of contest since the reptilian one where isaac betrayed me #neverforget
lapis dust
Plant is admittedly a bit more of an obvious taxonomical difference then the difference between reptiles and amphibians.
rocky egret
Sorry new to all this, so do the fused mons need to be available in the game for it be able to be entered into the contest?
lime latch
no
solar garden
This is gonna be like the reptile contest
lofty aurora
i read that as "Pants Themed Competition" and was very confused for a second
pants contest when
hot venture
Now we need a pants contest
charred crescent
no-pants contest
lapis dust
A pokemon in trousers contest would be pretty funny.
crude cedar
Would boxers or speedos count?
woeful lintel
i'm not sure to understand , do my venusaur / arcanine fit in this contest ?
woeful lintel
but it's mainly a dog body
crude cedar
With a flower
silver merlin

@thick atlas congratulations, didnt expected that one tho, the dreamcatcher was imo ur better sprite 😅 in either case, well deserved
@dusk schooner huh, the usual suspect arent ya 😉
@quartz locust now the contest is over i can say that i like urs the most
dusk schooner
Congrats on 2nd place
👈 😎 👈
zenith matrix
interestingly my entry scored higher than Xoto's entry in our prior bracket 🤔 but id say thats a good sign that the system overall (without the changes Ang made 
) works out quite nicely
👈 😎 👈
silver merlin
@silver merlin congrats on nothing
dusk schooner
Too much self-deprecation is not a good look for you. you should take pride in what you make.
And for what it's worth, I thought Eevee/Klefki was pretty cool.
zenith matrix
definitely the cutest entry imo, everyone else (me) was edgy as heck
dusk schooner
Agreed, it was pretty cute
thick atlas
and a clever idea
zenith matrix
first time attempting smth with aseprite
dusk schooner
(Congrats on the win btw Xoto)
silver merlin
thanks alot!, i will (hopefully) stop complaining about this.
thick atlas
thanks. congrats to you too, xillo
dusk schooner
first time attempting smth with aseprite
Deoxys sprite
A plant contest seems fun.
lime latch
I will do a victribell fusion to trap the innocent
zenith matrix
ye i thought of, how can i do briers
lime latch
Either with gardevoir lewd stuff or an amonguus
dusk schooner
I will say, while I don't like lewd gardevoirs, a Poison Ivy-style sprite seems appropriate
zenith matrix
thats anything but appropriate, even poison ivy isnt really 👀
lime latch
Maybe less boobs
dusk schooner
I mean in the sense that it makes sense as a reference
zenith matrix
well, ye
crude cedar
I had this idea when the contest was announced because I've wanted to do something like this for a while but Octillery's legs are vines with thorns and its head has a rose on it. The pose it gonna be different as I'm not happy with it but I thought it'd be neat!
zenith matrix
Meg and me having the same base idea 👀
crude cedar
F I'm sure yours will look better!
zenith matrix
we will see about that, i just hope aseprite carries me lmao
misty acorn
Tene, du you know if you will have fixed the gif speed stuff until voting starts? 👀
zenith matrix
i dont know, i doubt it, got an exam on monday and will be busy monday noon, so i guess it will be close
and im busy most of tuesday....well, when i think about it i can tackle it tuesday morning
but im not sure whats more important to me, finishing my sprite of fixing the program 😅
silver merlin
b o t h
misty acorn
Thats alright, I dont wanna pressure you to do it or anything 😅
Just wanted to ask so I can decide if animating it will be worth it
zenith matrix
well it shouldnt take too long, i might squeeze it in today during a break
rocky egret
What gen sprites do you use as reference?
misty acorn
4 and 5, though 3 can be fine as well
misty acorn
My idea is to animate the Zen garden torterra.
Have the blossoms fly across the screen, have the water flow and have the jigglypuff icon sleep and then wake up after a while
I actually like the idea so much that I might do it even if the x2 animation speed would hurt it 😂
crude cedar
I'm thinking maybe a pose like this where it's sitting on a couple of its stem legs? I'm gonna sort out the size and whatever once I properly start making it.
zenith matrix
not 2x, fixed 24fps, depending on ur start fps, that could be even 4x like for my latest
zenith matrix
celebi/flygon
crude cedar
Something and togepi where the shell is a little plant pot?
zenith matrix
cute idea
zenith matrix
well celebi is a knosp-something and they would naturally pair visually imo
dusk schooner
I think it is literally based on a plant bulb mixed with a pixie
dusk schooner
I think it does. Besides, celebi/flygon doesn't exist yet anyway, so who's to say it can't work when we haven't seen it yet.
burnt bane
Alright who here watches BNHA
