[burnt bane]

Ever made a custom tangrowth Sprite?

[quartz locust]

I've made it my mission to avoid that. 😂

[burnt bane]

Understandable

So yeah I know how I'm gonna waste tomorrow heh..

[crude cedar]

[burnt bane]

Exactly

[lime latch]

Stan i read the manga

[burnt bane]

Nice

[zenith matrix]

@misty acorn i guess im done

[compact saddle]

what

[zenith matrix]

well not quite, some might notice the slight jitter on my animation, which is caused by the higher non aligning framerate of the other animation

[brazen pawn]

New Server icon

[thick atlas]

why do you want that little guy gone?

[silver merlin]

oshawott my bab

[zenith matrix]

huh and that says the current winner

[thick atlas]

you making katten sad

[zenith matrix]

well, i guess if u dont want the icon changed u can ask for such 🤷‍♂️

[thick atlas]

i dont mind. i even dont know if one would recognize anything Oo

[lime latch]

so many mods now and now one manages to change the icon angry gramps noises

Kappa

[misty acorn]

~~ we currently don't have permissions to do that ~~

[sudden vector]

Boom. I tossed my hat. Now I'm in the contest. @fallow bough

[thick atlas]

Who has the might to do it?

[misty acorn]

🐸

[umbral rune]

[past adder]

Ok I just want to say, the contest sprites here are getting insanely good

[zenith matrix]

btw its smooth now @misty acorn

[past adder]

those klefky finalists were kinda mindblowing all of them, both concepts and execution

grats

[sudden vector]

I'm going to say this now. I love the contest sprites, but those carnivines fusion sprites are so cursed. I love them.

I was originally going to do a Carnivines/Metagross fusion but I has second thoughts since that sounded way too complicated.

[misty acorn]

btw its smooth now @misty acorn
so you mean one gif doesnt mess with another one if they have different speeds anymore?

nice

[zenith matrix]

well kinda, its theorethical still possible and will happen but quite unnoticable

[crude cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/froggy-chair-frog-chair-default-dance-fortnite-gif-16248385

[quartz locust]

i guess im done
@zenith matrix RIP my fusion. 😢

[crude cedar]

until when can i post things

(thats the nicest phrase i can do yall english folks)

[quartz locust]

What's with your Fortnite dance obsession? 😮

[zenith matrix]

oh, ye that was deleted, u might notice that little key, first row second one from the right? that wasnt there before, dunno who the fuck did smth there, its just the current drive i used to construct

[quartz locust]

Hang on, mine's been deleted from the Drive? 😦

[zenith matrix]

jup

[umbral rune]

what, your sprite?

[quartz locust]

Yeah, someone's taken it out of the drive. There's a sprite that wasn't meant to be there in its place. 😦

[umbral rune]

thats weird

although, I would say, given that it must have happened after polls were even put up, it was most likely an accident?

[quartz locust]

Slashisthenewpewdes is the person (I think a Redditor) who submitted that weird sprite. It's probably an accident, I'm gonna resubmit it if I can. 🙂

[fallow bough]

What's the issue exactly? I can't see anything having been deleted by anyone that wasn't the person who uploaded it.

[zenith matrix]

btw the..prevo of gengar fusion also got deleted

[quartz locust]

I didn't delete the Aegislash. 😮

[fallow bough]

I need more info than this, I've no idea what was even in there. 😅

[zenith matrix]

this one got added

[fallow bough]

For the Klefki competition?

[zenith matrix]

yep, after the eliminaries

whilest thishttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543958354377179176/757656870273024040/329.371.png

[fallow bough]

But nothing's gone from Plants?

I can't view the Klefki one's history in full, is all.

[normal nebula]

if people are messing with old drives for old competitions, who really cares. Those are already done with

[zenith matrix]

and this got removed

[normal nebula]

I do remember seeing that one though, yeah

[fallow bough]

if people are messing with old drives for old competitions, who really cares. Those are already done with
@normal nebula They're linked to in the contest gallery. And it also shouldn't be possible as they're closed from editing when contests begin.

[zenith matrix]

it might not be a problem, but is worrysome, at least someone has the criminal energy to modify em

[fallow bough]

Unless BTA didn't do that. 👀

[zenith matrix]

nah, still can edit the drive

[normal nebula]

could be the original spriter who removed it, or someone by accident

[zenith matrix]

we dont know, as only Ang can see the log

[crude cedar]

Unless BTA didn't do that. 👀
whats bta?

[fallow bough]

People only ever ask "what's bta". Nobody ever asks "how's bta".

[zenith matrix]

WHY'S BTA?

[sudden vector]

@fallow bough Can I have the contest participant role. I already placed a sprite of mine in the drive.

[fallow bough]

There's a pinned message in #event-announcements that you react to to get it.

[sudden vector]

Oh

[fallow bough]

I could give you it, but then if you do react to the message then the bot gets confused.

[sudden vector]

Thanks

Where?

[fallow bough]

It's one of only two pinned messages in that channel. 😅

https://discordapp.com/channels/302153478556352513/641801364376256512/737127116663160981

[sudden vector]

Oh It didn't showed for a second weird

[fallow bough]

Yeah pinned messages are weird sometimes in that channel. You aren't the first.

[weary pagoda]

Huh, it says that you need to react to get notified for contests. But I was notified without reacting to it apparently.

[outer prism]

Plants

....Oh you guys KNOW what I'm submitting.

[fallow bough]

Is it a plant?

[outer prism]

No a bicycle

Ofcourse a plant

there. Done it

[lime latch]

i think i should submit this badboy

[urban knot]

your sprite looks good and you are a very good spriter! keep going!🥰

[lime latch]

thanks deino

[hot venture]

I love that! The anatomy scares me though, is the back digglet it's own creature or part of the body?

[fallen adder]

I had a whole conversation with Isaac about the removed sprites 🤔

And the small key one is I'm pretty sure from the reddit user who posted if they can still enter after the date

[lime latch]

I love that! The anatomy scares me though, is the back digglet it's own creature or part of the body?
@hot venture parasetic

[hot venture]

Nice, makes me even more terrified

[lime latch]

just to annoy isaac i should add the big guy, who apparently is not reptile looking but got a flower out of gems on its back and that makes it again questionable, if its planty enough.

[quartz locust]

Keks is an agent of chaos. 😮

[lime latch]

there is also this flower version @hot venture

[quartz locust]

I thought that back Diglett was something else for a second. 😮

[hot venture]

Now are the flowers also separate entities? Meaning that its roots would be in its brain?

[lime latch]

maybe the flowers are sy,biotic with the backdiglett, while the backdiglett is parasetic to the maindiglett

[hot venture]

What a life

[lime latch]

and then it gets even worse, when the flower turns into stone while one of the dugtrio heads turns into a stem

complex biology here

[hot venture]

Looks like it's not parasitic anymore, did they come to a truce? They offer defense while the body offers a home?

[weary pagoda]

I fear it cannot be used for this contest. But it would be okay for a cavern-themed contest.

[fallow bough]

your sprite looks good and you are a very good spriter! keep going!🥰
Why is Deino sentient now?

[twilit ibex]

I pulled the wrong flower out of the ground

Damn

Ah ok, I'm leavin

[silver merlin]

even tho we shouldnt spam these commands

[weary pagoda]

Ye

You're right

[quartz locust]

I'm absolutely loving these Venusaur entries already. 🙂

[silver merlin]

im currently making one.

[silver merlin]

and i agree!

[shadow holly]

Bro what have you guys done to Dyno

[silver merlin]

#spriter-general

[unreal radish]

hello there :D

I have 2 questions:
1)should I be a spriter if I want to do a contest?
2) how do I get help for a sprite that will be submitted for a contest (#event-general or #spriting-discussion)?

[zenith matrix]

1. u dont have to be, u just have to add it to the drive
2. better #spriting-discussion, tho u can discuss contest-ideas here aswell as in spritework

[unreal radish]

thanks dranox :D

[lime latch]

@fallen adder were you able to vote two times for the same sprites or did it delete the vote if you did so? Or was the 3rd vote the one that deleted the first now?

Do you know/ Did you test that?

[fallen adder]

You can't vote for the same sprite twice

[thick atlas]

what happens if you try?

[fallen adder]

Then you take away your vote 🤔

[thick atlas]

alright, as expected

[lime latch]

yeah

[crude cedar]

How long we got left to make sprites for the plant contest?

Super exhausted post con

[thick atlas]

"You have until the 29th of September to submit your plants, at 8PM BST as usual."

[crude cedar]

Ohh nice got time

I was the onlyone without fitting footwear

[weary pagoda]

Got three ideas in a few time, I'm really glad.

I already designed them and I'll try drawing and submitting all of them tomorrow

[solar garden]

Nice cosplay of actual ten year olds

[thick atlas]

@iron bay you know you still can delete your sprite from the drive and work on it if you want to

[winged fiber]

I was the onlyone without fitting footwear
@crude cedar damn Dokomi already was? Missed it D:

[crude cedar]

@solar garden viktor and gloria arent 10

I think only the first 3 games aswell as sun & moon had 10 year old protags

Pokémon Trainers generally start their journey at the age of 10 (11 in Alola), when they receive their first Pokémon. However, they can start later. In the Unova and Kalos regions, the playable character is around 16 to 17, not ten.

So apparently after reading around. The 10 years thing is an anime only thing

And red is 11 in the first games

[sudden vector]

How old is ash now?

Is he still 10

If so.... then all the things he did in the anime he did it in the span of 1 year

[lapis dust]

Isn't there a conspiracy theory going around that he doesn't age because of his encounter with Ho-oh or something ridiculous?

I know there are several scenes where he himself brings up 'the years that have gone by'.

[normal nebula]

it's literally impossible for the anime to take place in one year. There are way more than 365 days depicted passing in the anime

it just operates on Detective Conan time logic

[compact saddle]

#spriter-general

[crude cedar]

@compact saddle this here is also a general

[compact saddle]

tell that to a moderator, lol

im just doing what everyone else does

[crude cedar]

I will B)

[normal nebula]

For discussing ideas about contests and asking questions about how they work. 🤔

[quartz locust]

Yeah this should be focused on contest talk, we derail sometimes but try sticking on track. 😅

[lime latch]

This is a Contest related “general“
This channel could also be named #contest-talk

[quartz locust]

We don't really need to dabble in semantics that much. 😂

[solar garden]

He was aging until sun and moon where it was rebooted

He went back to ten

[quartz locust]

He went back to 10 in BW. 😦

Anyway, #general if this is continuing. 🙂

[silver merlin]

or #spriter-general

[quartz locust]

Katten gets it. 😄

[crude cedar]

How much time left ?

[mild furnace]

I think one or two more days?

nope, 8pm bst on September 29th

[acoustic hare]

An hour

[umbral rune]

its the 28th

1 day, 1 hour

25 hours

1500 minutes

90000 seconds

[thick atlas]

i guess we need a bot command for it

[weary pagoda]

?howmanytimeleftinthecontesttosumbmitentries

For now it's 100% confirmed we don't have that.

[crude cedar]

?howmuchtimeleftinthecontesttosubmitentries

@weary pagoda now it is

[misty acorn]

@shadow holly If you can make something like this work that would actually be nice

A command where a contest manager enteres a date and then it gives the time left until then whenever the command is used

[shadow holly]

Uhh I can tru

But not rn at school

[lime latch]

7 venusaurs so far lol

[compact saddle]

hes the easiest to identify as a plant lmao

and all the other ones that really resemble a plant arent so good

[misty acorn]

I identify as a plant as well but nobody used me

[crude cedar]

tomato sauce

[compact saddle]

i can use you

[brazen pawn]

Let me (ab) use you 😘 😏

[unreal radish]

well retro being kinky ain't famillyah

can we still vote for people if we submitted sprite ?

[zenith matrix]

sure, there are even ppl who vote for their own sprites

[misty acorn]

[unreal radish]

(I won't I only did contest so I would actually finish my sprites)

[crude cedar]

i annouce it now

i do y=the next contest

even if its the worst possible contest

[zenith matrix]

@unreal radish im sorry i did the same fusion as u, dunno when u started on urs....wanted to finish it

plant.

[fallow bough]

plant plant

[misty acorn]

plant plant plant

[unreal radish]

it's actually better to say when you stop taking new sprite: less panic induced

[misty acorn]

I should really stop with animating my sprites

[fallow bough]

@crude cedar we need anime qt to continue the anime mods theme.

[unreal radish]

don't worry about that tene at least I had the same idae as someone actually skiled

[crude cedar]

Oh god fm damn

I lost cause both my sprites are in thr same bracket

F my live :/ all the effort for nothing

[misty acorn]

they can still both pass

[zenith matrix]

and in the end ur chances are determined by wheither either of them is the best

[crude cedar]

I doubt both will

My chances definetly have been halfed trough this

[unreal radish]

your fusion is way better than mine X) (tene +same bracket)

[crude cedar]

I dont know your fusions. So cant say,

But the venusaur arcanine is a strong one too

[unreal radish]

I was talking to tene cause we did the same

[crude cedar]

Oh

[unreal radish]

I don't even know which is yours but according to your experience I can say that yours too is, indeed, great

[crude cedar]

Lmaooo

I once had an anime avatar

[royal osprey]

does my pfp count

[crude cedar]

Im allways, on my avatar.

Or rarely i use my oc

@royal osprey yourse worse

[unreal radish]

Isaac as

[fallow bough]

I once had an anime avatar
@crude cedar My profile picture isn't from an anime, though.

[unreal radish]

It's in the same genra

[patent lance]

😎 its not from an anime

[misty acorn]

I don't know if mine even counts? It probably does?

[patent lance]

therefore its legal 😎

[unreal radish]

it's from photofiltre and google image X)

[crude cedar]

Just found this foto

[fallow bough]

It's good.

[royal osprey]

thats real anime

[zenith matrix]

déjà vu

[patent lance]

that picture is me after stuvving my toe

stubing$*

stuubing*

i always forget about these contests cuz of school

but that exeggutor/meganium looks really good

@quartz locust good job 👌

[agile storm]

Y'all sprites for the contests are always super cool

This is the best fan pokemon project ever

Imo

[crude cedar]

Its my favorite of blaquazas sprites for sure

[misty acorn]

same

[zenith matrix]

sry for the animation going havoc again

[misty acorn]

😅

[zenith matrix]

we had technical difficulties and had to go back to a previous version

which is Isaacs and BTAs fault as i said to both that i dont have time to do test.... and they didnt make any

[misty acorn]

It's okay, I might not get any votes now, but at least I have a cool profile pic

[zenith matrix]

except u havent 🤔

want that cute togepi back...

[twilit ibex]

1 vote each ooof

[misty acorn]

It will come back, but right now I'm just surfing on that nostalgia wave that the pokemon music video has created and enjoy my life

[zenith matrix]

fair enough

[fallow bough]

1 vote each ooof
@twilit ibex I thought nobody liked the two votes thing. 👀

[zenith matrix]

uhm...i did, the cutting of the semis not so much

[misty acorn]

If you get multiple votes you need to weight them differently imo

[fallow bough]

Not possible with this bot, unfortunately.

[haughty laurel]

i liked it

[zenith matrix]

multi vote poll on wheither multi vote polls should be a thing, when?

[haughty laurel]

^seconded

[zenith matrix]

btw, neat u found ur way on the discord, always liked ur sprites 👍

[fallow bough]

We will do them when we can do them

~~ ~~

[zenith matrix]

a case for the Trubbish

[fallow bough]

BTA said he was going to try it. 👀

So far the only job Trubbish has had is to fix the mess he discovered himself.

[zenith matrix]

why do i know nothing about such? 👀 Isaac, immediate report

[twilit ibex]

How do you do strike through?

[fallow bough]

~~ on either side of your text.

~~ Like this ~~

[twilit ibex]

thx

[naive summit]

oh lord that gif in the second bracket got kinda screwed over by the program lmao

its so fast it hurts

[hot venture]

Is carnivine in the game, or is it just popular for the contest?

[brazen pawn]

its just popular ^^

[lime latch]

most popular is still venusaur

[quartz locust]

Do we get one vote or two? 😮

[crude cedar]

one

[quartz locust]

Darn, that makes it all the more difficult. 😢

[lime latch]

just vote 2 times to make sure it gets counted

[hot venture]

will the klefki comp be added to the #contest-gallery ?

[calm quail]

oh wow there are a lot of really good entries

I was working on one but then i got sick so it seems i missed the deadline haha

[brazen pawn]

oh thats sad to hear, but still can finish it i loved to see it

[fallow bough]

will the klefki comp be added to the #contest-gallery ?
@hot venture every day I tell myself I'll do it. Every day I forget. 😅

[calm quail]

here's a hint

[thick atlas]

Looks a bit like an old karen, no offense

[quartz locust]

I think it looks amazing and way better than my Meganium. 😄

[calm quail]

nothing wrong with karen as a character trope i think

I don't think every fusion has to look like a bishie

@quartz locust was yours with tropius?

I really liked that one actually I voted for it ^^

[quartz locust]

Exeggutor and Meganium, a lot of people seem to think Tropius too. 😂

[burnt bane]

Oh lord the neck rose is amazing

[quartz locust]

And thanks for the vote! 😃 Though you're technically not meant to say who you voted for.

It's hypnotic, I just stare at it and get entranced. 🙂

[calm quail]

oh fglh; sorry thats the one i meant yeah

oh is that a rule?

i see people say who they voted for all the time or can you only say that after

[zenith matrix]

better after, after all we dont want ppl to be affected by others

just vote for what they think is best

[quartz locust]

It's not a rule that's enforced strictly (or even a rule, or even enforced at all really), but yeah most people say after the round finishes. 😄

[fallow bough]

It's not a rule, but it does make me sad.

[zenith matrix]

and u dont want to make Isaac sad

oh wait, i do that all the time

[silver merlin]

i mean, shouldnt there be more rules for contests?

[zenith matrix]

what do u have in mind? except the dont talk about what u voted for

[silver merlin]

i dont have any ideas rn, but i'll say some when i maybe find some out!

[untold scroll]

Is the "putting 'by [user]'" a obligatory rule already?

[zenith matrix]

kinda, if it isnt clear by whom it is, it gets removed i think

[thick atlas]

But google shows you who uploaded it

[fallow bough]

People don't always have clear names on Google.

Like I can't always figure out who Duncan Zoomlord is if he uses his real name on Google but goes by Bibble on Discord.

[crude cedar]

TOMATE GET MOD

WTF

[fallow bough]

I do always try though

[thick atlas]

What is this important for?

Just for the role and to be mentioned?

[fallow bough]

It'd be pretty unsatisfying if I had to be like "uhhh, we don't know who won, but here's who got second and third".

although I've never removed one once. If it looked like a no-name was going to win, I'd try to figure out who made it. It makes my life a lot easier if people say they made them, though.

[misty acorn]

TOMATE GET MOD
always have been

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-sospecha-mirada-look-gif-7194479

[silver merlin]

always have been
are you sure about that?

[thick atlas]

You could just say the sprite has won

[brazen pawn]

omg Caligulynn you are my favorit new spriter for a reason thats so great!

[lime latch]

I just thought the next contest solid be wailord

[weary pagoda]

Because of the atrocity I'm actually making ?

[lime latch]

Yeah and the rotom one

[weary pagoda]

Yes I've seen that one too, that's how I got this fusion idea.

[quartz locust]

I think if it's a classic contest it'll probably be one of the 30 new ones again. 🙂

[weary pagoda]

I prefer contests like this one.

[quartz locust]

I do too. 😄

[thick atlas]

how about revealing the next theme so we can start brainstorming?

[crude cedar]

food?

or axolotl

they re my theme

[weary pagoda]

Yeah ! Give us the theme !

[misty acorn]

never

you will never know!

[weary pagoda]

Oh gee

[misty acorn]

Next contest is gonna be blind themed. You just have to make a sprite and hope that it fits the secret theme and everything that doesn't gets disqualified

[weary pagoda]

Then I'm going to make a fusion with all 381 Pokemons so I'm sure it's going to fit.

[quartz locust]

I'd just submit the Ho-oh / Blaziken I've wanted to submit for ages. 😂

[misty acorn]

only 3 entries per person

and only 2-way fusions

[weary pagoda]

No no, all Pokemons in one entry. And I'll make it look like only 2 Pokemon at the same time so you won't notice.

And I'll do it 300x300

[misty acorn]

okay, you better start working then.
Deadline is secret as well

[mild furnace]

crap.

can I submit all my water starters fusion?

[weary pagoda]

I already did it. I'm just not going to show it until a Contest Manager informs the beginning.

[silver merlin]

I wil sumbit my mr.mime as it fits the trash contest

Next contest is gonna be blind themed. You just have to make a sprite and hope that it fits the secret theme and everything that doesn't gets disqualified
To this ^^

[misty acorn]

I already did it. I'm just not going to show it until a Contest Manager prevents the beginning.
but what if the theme ends up being "simple" or "emptiness"? 👀

[mild furnace]

I win

[weary pagoda]

Then I'm going to make another entry and I'll make it look so good that I'm still gonna win

[twilit ibex]

Noooo you can't pick all the starters you have to choose one

[mild furnace]

Haha all water starter fusion go brrrrrr

Can I actually submit that for the blind comp?

[weary pagoda]

I don't see Froakie

[mild furnace]

It's because froakie sucks

[twilit ibex]

°

[mild furnace]

We don't talk about Froakie

[misty acorn]

The blind competition has been going for a while now btw, we just didn't tell anyone that it started

[twilit ibex]

F frogs all My homies hate frogs

[mild furnace]

Yeah, because Greninja is probably the most popular starter, other than charizard of course

And it's overrated

[twilit ibex]

^

[mild furnace]

it's just a ninja frog, calm down Pokemon fanbase

[weary pagoda]

Froakie is not an okay subject

[twilit ibex]

Best starter is Wartortle

[mild furnace]

Best starter is Drizzile

[weary pagoda]

NO

[silver merlin]

I wil sumbit my mr.mime/hitmonlee as it fits the trash contest

[mild furnace]

Actually I really like Oshawott

[twilit ibex]

Raboot is cool too

[weary pagoda]

Grovyle forever

[mild furnace]

Dewott for life

Samuwott is weird tho

[twilit ibex]

Nani?

He is cool

He needs shellsmash tho

Like he used a shell

It's part of his design

Signature movE is RAZOR SHELL

and it's a water type

[mild furnace]

I really hate how it goes from Cute Small Otter to Cute but bigger otter to Unholy abomination that's supposed to resemble a Samurai otter somehow

[weary pagoda]

I like Cyndaquil but its evos are not different enough.

[twilit ibex]

I love otters

Otters eat penguins

[mild furnace]

I love otters too, but I can say with full certainty that Samurott is not an otter.

o

Otters actually don't eat penguins

Orcas do that

[twilit ibex]

Mine does

[mild furnace]

Orcas also eat otters

So I win

[twilit ibex]

Reee u can't eat otters

Orcas go Brrrrrrr

[silver merlin]

Actually I really like Oshawott
@mild furnace i dont

[mild furnace]

Wait What

[silver merlin]

joke

[mild furnace]

oh thank god

[silver merlin]

Lmao

[mild furnace]

I thought I was in an alternate universe for a sec

[silver merlin]

Lmfao

[mild furnace]

Where I don't like penguins

and Katten hates otters

[misty acorn]

talk about favorite starters in #spriter-general or something
I don't think Isaac will be too interested in this

[weary pagoda]

There's "general" in #event-general so it's okay

[misty acorn]

"For discussing ideas about contests and asking questions about how they work."

[weary pagoda]

iSaAc WhAt Is ThE nExT tHeMe

Now it's okay

[misty acorn]

yes, now we are back on track

[fallen adder]

general just means the default channel. not "in general"

Not saying channel description is law tho

[misty acorn]

No, definetly not.
But that discussion went on for quite a while. If it was a short exchange I don't care at all, but at some point you gotta remember that a Contest Manager has to go through all this to see if someone actually has a question or something in there 😅

[weary pagoda]

Yeah we wouldn't want to hide useful questions with our discussions about Starters that could go somewhere else.

[quartz locust]

Before Gen VIII I did fusions of all the starters up t that point, they're not great though. 😦

[silver merlin]

yikes

[quartz locust]

As far as the fusions with more than two Pokémon go though, I'm happier with these for sure. 😄

[silver merlin]

i think

#spriter-general

since

this isnt abt contests tbh

[quartz locust]

Nobody likes a mini-mod. 😛

How many entries were there to this contest? It didn't seem like that many. 😮

[zenith matrix]

33

[silver merlin]

Nobody likes a mini-mod. 😛
im not a mini mod 😤

How many entries were there to this contest? It didn't seem like that many. 😮
my bracket is killing my sprite

like

ded

xillo and blaquaza's sprites are gonna kill me

and the other ones

[past adder]

That moment you vote, then go do something else, then see 4 discord notifications and get worried for a moment.

[civic wadi]

Lol

[umbral rune]

just saying, it would be pretty funny if scrapi won, considering he was banned

[silver merlin]

@misty acorn 's animated sprite in a nutshell: SPEED

[misty acorn]

[fallow bough]

The current finals, if anyone's interested.

[crude cedar]

I knew it B(

I suck

[unreal radish]

no surprises in my side either I rated myself well :D

[fallow bough]

No negativity allowed on this server.

[zenith matrix]

dont u worry, the competition is just steep and ppl have a certain taste, heck i scored far worse than u

[crude cedar]

Blaquaza was the obly one of the finalists i voted

Im kinda suprprised

Yee. One of mine had... 1... Vote

[unreal radish]

me too

[misty acorn]

I just wan't to say that that one vote on my sprite is not from me.

[crude cedar]

Well i fidnt even vote for my venusaur but yea 🙃

[unreal radish]

and that's more or less what I expected

but at least I finished my sprites and I eventually get better

I dunno why I'm so enthusiast today

[crude cedar]

Which are yours?? @unreal radish

[unreal radish]

the bad deoxys roserade

[silver merlin]

mine had 3 votes

[unreal radish]

and the pyrax / bellsprout

[misty acorn]

mine had 3 votes :sad:
thats more than double of my votes

[silver merlin]

it was too SPEED

the non animated one would have done better

[fallow bough]

Animation speed should be fixed from here on out.

[zenith matrix]

not even a thanks

[fallow bough]

It only wasn't fixed this time because you didn't test it smh

[zenith matrix]

i told both of u to test it

[fallow bough]

~~ 👀 ~~

[misty acorn]

[crude cedar]

~~ 👀 ~~

[crude cedar]

Im a slave to my circumstances

[zenith matrix]

theres not written that i have to do the tests

finally, a contest-gallery entry 👀

[fallow bough]

I wonder if it was being slowed down by anything. 👀

[silver merlin]

gj isaac!, you remembered to finally post it in #contest-gallery

[zenith matrix]

the image ive sent to u days ago

well yesterday 😅 , but more than 24h ago

[brazen pawn]

@quartz locust gratz for finals

@crude cedar of of yours is semis gj

I liked the seadraking personally more tho

[quartz locust]

Thanks Retro! I'm really happy that got into the finals, it's probably the sprite I'm most proud of. 😄

[fallen adder]

[acoustic hare]

Crying

[fallow bough]

[quartz locust]

This is a tough semi, I kinda like the Roserade / Spiritomb but it feels too much like Roserade but just with an aura to me. 😅

[pastel fog]

whaaaaat

money!!!!!

[silver merlin]

wow

[naive summit]

oh shit money

[misty acorn]

No kirby emote for tomate

[silver merlin]

what's this??

[naive summit]

[silver merlin]

👀

[zenith matrix]

u think u can buy me?

[naive summit]

somebody ping Mammuth

[silver merlin]

@wheat socket WAKE UP, you can get money!! :0

[stiff valley]

"Each Sprite must include an Alternate version of the original." what does that mean ?

[crude cedar]

Sponsored contest... Wtf :/

[shadow holly]

whoever's votes me gets 1 pound

[silver merlin]

a alt

[winged fiber]

@wheat socket we need you winning money

[silver merlin]

well

[zenith matrix]

i wont compete

[fallow bough]

"Each Sprite must include an Alternate version of the original." what does that mean ?
@stiff valley An alt. So like, another sprite of the same fusion.

[pastel fog]

what is the "Alternate version of the original"?

[crude cedar]

I wanna break that sponsors kneecaps

[stiff valley]

Oh so 2 time the same fusion ?

Ok ok

[fallow bough]

i wont compete
@zenith matrix 🤔

[pastel fog]

lmao I'm late

[silver merlin]

my brain got lost here

Sprites for this competition must be a fusion with a typing resulting in no more than 2 weaknesses. A Pokémon with three weaknesses but has an ability that mitigates one also counts.

[naive summit]

does it have to be a completely different take on the same fusion or can it just be like typical alts (ie: different color/markings, etc)

[stiff valley]

I think this should be precised

[crude cedar]

Who tf is that fool

[quartz locust]

Someone with cash to burn who wants to reward the community, I think it's really nice. 😄

[misty acorn]

Sjoba, what is your problem?

[crude cedar]

@silver merlin something with levitate

[pastel fog]

so we must make 2 sprites or what?

[fallen adder]

It's just a typical alt. like one has claws but the other doesn't

[thorny saddle]

4 technically if the icons are being included

[pastel fog]

oh

[brazen pawn]

what the frick so muc hmoney

[naive summit]

okay

cool

[crude cedar]

@misty acorn i hate competing for money

[misty acorn]

then dont

[naive summit]

so dont compete

[silver merlin]

it cant be me who sponsored this, i dont have money

[weary pagoda]

I would like to submit but I don't want money

[shadow holly]

100 pounds!

That's like

[silver merlin]

alot

[shadow holly]

100 Chicken Mayos

[silver merlin]

:0

[zenith matrix]

well, that sponsored thing kinda...well im not a fan of holding a contest around it, anyway, shall someone win who really needs the money and i dont want to chip on the chances of the desiring

[crude cedar]

@naive summit nah i will compete cause money. But i hate it

[fallen adder]

100 pounds!
@shadow holly $

[fallow bough]

I would like to submit but I don't want money
@weary pagoda I mean, you could have it donated to charity on your name or something. Or have it donated to the mod team.

[shadow holly]

Oh right

[normal nebula]

what does an alternate version of the original mean

for the new contest

[shadow holly]

Murican Money

[naive summit]

if it's against your morals then don't compete lmfao

[silver merlin]

what's the point of me participating if i cant get into the semis?

[naive summit]

who cares if its money

[crude cedar]

Don raised eyebrow me cali

[misty acorn]

what does an alternate version of the original mean
You have to make an alt version of your sprite

[quartz locust]

It can probably mean anything from a Shiny alt to a completely different take on the fusion. 🙂

[normal nebula]

like a shiny?

[shadow holly]

In all honesty if I won I'd just buy Nitro and then Gift Nitro

[misty acorn]

Like, one guy has big claws and one has human hands and a slightly different face or something

[naive summit]

I could finally buy Swsh but that'd be such a waste

[fallen adder]

what does an alternate version of the original mean
@normal nebula Just like any other alt. the same overall sprite but with another option. Like one has legs and the other for some reason has them amputated. Or one has moss and the other doesn't

[silver merlin]

if i win i'll give @pastel fog nitro

[quartz locust]

Does anyone have a list of type combos that fall under this assumption? I've seen a 1 weakness list but not a 2 weakness one. 😦

[crude cedar]

If i won id finance comissions of my Oc Chenny

[zenith matrix]

paying 175 and essentially getting a lot more than they payed for, well kinda, depending on the number of entries, u get what i mean

[thorny saddle]

@quartz locust https://www.pkmn.help/

[naive summit]

I'd genuinely probably just put it towards christmas gifts for my fam lmao but I'm probs not competing

[shadow holly]

A way to explain this

[quartz locust]

Brilliant, thank you! 😄

[shadow holly]

You make 1 sprite

[quartz locust]

If I win, it's going on rent. 😢

[shadow holly]

And then you make an alt

[silver merlin]

lmao

[normal nebula]

got it

[weary pagoda]

@fallow bough Yeah, but I wouldn't feel good by gaining money by this way. So yeah I could participate and if I win I give you back the money, that would be funny !

[fallen adder]

@quartz locust https://www.pkmn.help/
@thorny saddle oh I originally had that link in my notes and forgot to put it in

[fallow bough]

@fallow bough Yeah, but I wouldn't feel good by gaining money by this way. So yeah I could participate and if I win I give you back the money, that would be funny !
@weary pagoda I-I'm not the one financing this. I can't take it "back", I've never held it in the first place. 😅

[twilit ibex]

Contests

[solar garden]

Nani

Sponsored contest

[crude cedar]

So this will be the steel type contest

[quartz locust]

Not necessarily. 🙂

[solar garden]

Me and my rock gang

[shadow holly]

If you dont want the money then just either

1. Donate it to charity
2. Gift Nitro a bunch
3. Buy me a Chicken Mayo and then buy all the Mods one but in that order

[crude cedar]

I know but...

[fallen adder]

I'll take a chicken mayo ngl

[crude cedar]

Ground water / ghost normal / ghost dark

And steel

[silver merlin]

dibs on Feraligatr/Krookodile

[twilit ibex]

Who doesn't want money they earned?

[crude cedar]

Dibs on steeling kattens idea

[shadow holly]

Dark/Pouson

[weary pagoda]

Then, if I win, I could give the money to the devs to make this game less laggy on my PC

[silver merlin]

Dibs on steeling kattens idea
nuuuu

[fallow bough]

Frogman would 100% spend it on frogs.

[fallen adder]

The sponsor did give a large chunk of type examples. you just gotta figure them out. Since we would 100% not list them all if we did

[misty acorn]

~~ Just buy a better pc with the money ~~

[crude cedar]

@weary pagoda frög doesnt accept money

I allready tried

[weary pagoda]

@misty acorn Nah.

[twilit ibex]

Doesn't electric only have 1 weakness?

[misty acorn]

yeah

[shadow holly]

Yes

[naive summit]

Electric/Fire with levitate would have 2

[shadow holly]

I dont know if that exists

Bar Rotom Heat

[twilit ibex]

0 that can hit it tho

[naive summit]

Rotom in general

[shadow holly]

Oh yehhh

[naive summit]

Electric/bug also has 2

and electric/poison

[shadow holly]

??? Has no weaknesses

Just make Missingno fusions

[twilit ibex]

Lol

[weary pagoda]

Mewtwo-looking stand has no weaknesses !

[naive summit]

and electric/norma,, electric/water, electric/fairy, electric/steel with levitate, electric/flying

[silver merlin]

dibs on Porygon-z/Kangaskhan

[shadow holly]

Isnt Porygon Z a Data type?

[solar garden]

Sad that there's no dwebble

Would have used him

[crude cedar]

I just wanna know whos wasting his, or her money

[fallen adder]

I just wanna know whos wasting his, or her money
@crude cedar Please do not try and find them

[misty acorn]

How is rewarding people that do awesome sprites wasting money?

[crude cedar]

I won't

[misty acorn]

It's just wholesome

[solar garden]

This is basically a widespread commision

[crude cedar]

If i were them

[lime latch]

Its Sjoba

[crude cedar]

Id use that money for better stuff

[lime latch]

Thats why he doesnt compete

[crude cedar]

Like commissioning artists

To draw my oc

[twilit ibex]

Imaginé having money

[crude cedar]

Probably allready put 400+€ just in various artists comissions

[fallow bough]

Like commissioning artists
@crude cedar This is commissioning artists though. You have to make a bunch of viable fusions for the game. 👀

[lime latch]

technically it is a commision for multiple pokemon... and if the quality rises because there is money to win, its the ultimate way to get a lot of commissions done without paying too much

[weary pagoda]

I think you should make another contest with this one.

[fallen adder]

@crude cedar please do not continue your current conversation nor derail 👍

[crude cedar]

I will derail my fist into your kneecaps @fallen adder

[fallen adder]

🤨

[shadow holly]

Your Fists are trains?

[twilit ibex]

[zenith matrix]

This is basically a widespread commision
@solar garden not really, for a commission u get ur money and not only perhaps
also make some calcs, imagine low work hour price, 10$, makes 17.5h spread over the whole contest, but ppl, even only the ones u could consider the best, will spent a lot more time on it

id rather like to see that money commissioned to individual artists for their pieces and not as a contest

[shadow holly]

CHOO CHOOOOO

[lime latch]

Sjobas still saying he is not a furry -> has an sheep girl oc

[naive summit]

if any of yall wanna wait I'll type up a list rl quick of viable types uwu

[crude cedar]

🤛 🚋

[solar garden]

I mean I do commissions for fake money

Ok art markets and such

[shadow holly]

We cant really judge, since we dont know the person and their living standards

[normal nebula]

This gives an opportunity for people who don't really get commissions to have a chance at it, so I'm not complaining. I think it's a fun idea

[shadow holly]

For all we know it could be Bezos

[crude cedar]

@lime latch she's no anthro so i still stand my point

[lime latch]

@lime latch she's no anthro so i still stand my point
@crude cedar the horns are fake then?

[shadow holly]

dont know why Jeff would be playing Infinite Fusion but my point still stands

[fallow bough]

#event-general

[crude cedar]

Nah they arent but that doesnt make her furry

[twilit ibex]

I mean if someone is doing this they probably can afford it, and just want to help out.

[solar garden]

Rock grass with levitate

[normal nebula]

Im not giving away my idea. Hope nobody else does it.

[lime latch]

||Its scrapi who tries to buy himself back in||

[twilit ibex]

I'm 80% sure it's Sjoba

[acoustic hare]

id rather like to see that money commissioned to individual artists for their pieces and not as a contest
I mean people make sprites for free here all the time so...

[twilit ibex]

Facts

[acoustic hare]

It's not like anyone here was payed before for making them.

[pastel fog]

I have an idea for my sprite yay

[ashen star]

Welp

Looks like mammuth, milchik, Xillo, or Cali are getting payed

[brazen pawn]

mammuth isnt here currentl

y

not activ atleast

[ashen star]

Oh

Welp

I’ll get to sketching.

[brazen pawn]

i try my best aswell for 100 bucks fully scratch with drawing and stuff ^^

[zenith matrix]

and given the current contests, id say that list of potential winners isnt complete

[normal nebula]

well with money on the line, Im actually going to try for this one, so we'll see

[brazen pawn]

i mean calligyun , tene, xoto have good chances aswell

[zenith matrix]

yet again, i wont compete

[brazen pawn]

would*

[zenith matrix]

well than, thanks for that compliment 😅

[patent lance]

😭 rip blaquazas sprite

[misty acorn]

A lot of people have a really good chance. Xoto, TimeAxis, Calicorn, Retro and so many more. Gonna be interesting to see everyone giving their very best

[twilit ibex]

I feel like alot of people are underestimating themselves

[quartz locust]

Nobody has said me yet. Guys? 😢

[brazen pawn]

D: beeing listed is a great compliment

[ashen star]

I find Caligu sprites extremely overrated.

[loud swallow]

And I feel like I shouldn’t have just jumped into a random conversation in a random discord server

[misty acorn]

Nobody has said me yet. Guys? 😢
Did the mere contest gym leader say something?

[zenith matrix]

I find Caligu sprites extremely overrated.
@ashen star

[misty acorn]

~~Says the guy that has nothing ~~

[brazen pawn]

@quartz locust i thought of you but i think on this one only fully scratched gonan have a chance i think

[ashen star]

Yes their good, but I don’t think their all that amazing.

[quartz locust]

I am fully scratching. 😉

[shadow holly]

You guys aren't so dumb

[brazen pawn]

you do?

[shadow holly]

The obvious winner is Jezza

[quartz locust]

Well, heavily referencing art, but fully scratching. 😉

[brazen pawn]

oh my bad

[shadow holly]

Smhmh

[zenith matrix]

u lack the eye for whats good

[patent lance]

they're* 😎

[ashen star]

I suppose I’ll put time into a sketch

[quartz locust]

I've already started. 😉

[brazen pawn]

blaquaza lets team up

[quartz locust]

I'm absolutely up for that. 😄

[ashen star]

Teams?

[twilit ibex]

Strats

[ashen star]

I suppose that wouldn’t be a bad idea .

[brazen pawn]

i mean teams are allowed

but you have to share then

[quartz locust]

We'll be the richest rogues of all time. 😉

[shadow holly]

If you vote for me then I'll give you 1 dollar of my victory money

bribery

[twilit ibex]

So tempting

[ashen star]

Hm.

[misty acorn]

Team of 100 people and everyone gets 1 dollar? 👀

[ashen star]

👀

[twilit ibex]

I'm probably gonna vote for

D̷̑͑hͬ̏̚e̞̋͜b̡͂ͯdͧ̾͌j̇̊̇d̲̓͟k̈̈́̌d̸ͣͪṇ̸̈́b̆͐ͣd̶͍ͭh̡̓̓ḋͭ͆҉̯̬͚jͣͦ͐d̰̍͠ĵ̨̆d͌̔͑bͧ͂̽ḋ̄͏b̨͔͆d̡ͧ̉hͭ̀ͩd̪̈̀vͮͣ̅sͮͥͬkͤͪͬs̅̇͑

[fallen adder]

i mean teams are allowed
@brazen pawn Like other competitions, we do not endorse teaming up

[quartz locust]

Do regular contests not endorse teams? 😮

[fallen adder]

no 🤔

[silver merlin]

i mean

i have seen peeps teaming up 👀

[twilit ibex]

Peeps been cheating

[fallen adder]

When

[silver merlin]

i mean

i think

[twilit ibex]

[quartz locust]

During Double Trouble, everyone did it.

[silver merlin]

xoto and retro teamed up for this one

[fallen adder]

The plant one?

[silver merlin]

yes

[brazen pawn]

bruh?

[twilit ibex]

Blaq just sold himself out

[brazen pawn]

i remember a mod saying its ok for the others aswell

[silver merlin]

bruh?

[fallen adder]

Was the mod Isaac?

[brazen pawn]

YeS

idk honestly i just remember

[pastel fog]

first rough sketch to make all the important shapes

[fallen adder]

When and where?

[twilit ibex]

Oh so It was ok

[silver merlin]

When and where?
sherlock ang

[fallen adder]

That's really nice looking @pastel fog

[pastel fog]

thanks!

[brazen pawn]

it was nearly at the end of double trouble i think

[quartz locust]

Oh no, me and Milchik have both gone down the snek route. 😮

[silver merlin]

i will do a

um

[twilit ibex]

Milchik the sleeper pick

[silver merlin]

kangaroo thing

👀

[pastel fog]

what are you doing blaq?

[fallen adder]

it was nearly at the end of double trouble i think
@brazen pawn I remember him saying the opposite about teams after that contest and I see nothing when searching for him saying such

[silver merlin]

weird

@fallow bough is it allowed for people to team up in normal contests?

[twilit ibex]

[brazen pawn]

idk who said it exactly as i said i just remember that it was said

[fallen adder]

Already dm'ing him. But he is playing Spelunky 2

[quartz locust]

what are you doing blaq?
Darkrai / Arbok. 🙂

[silver merlin]

:0

i love darkrai

he's such a easy pkmn to fuse with

[brazen pawn]

why would it be forbidden tho?

[normal nebula]

I mean, people ask for help in spritework and stuff for regular contests, which is a form of teaming up, but at the end of the day it's still just one person who enters it

[twilit ibex]

[quartz locust]

I don't think asking for help is the same as teaming up at all. 😦

[fallen adder]

why would it be forbidden tho?
@brazen pawn It's not very fair for other participants

[brazen pawn]

if its allowed its equally fair for everyone

[fallen adder]

Then you need to team up to be on an equal playing field and it becomes a team competition

[brazen pawn]

not really

[normal nebula]

I dont think teams are always necessarily an advantage

[fallen adder]

Yes

[brazen pawn]

some are just better then others

its not that a team sprite is better then a regular one

[fallen adder]

I will not change my stance on teams. Especially for the current comp

(sponsored I mean)

[normal nebula]

at the end of the day, there's no way to tell if someone got help with a sprite behind the scenes, but the rule can still be that only one person can enter it

[brazen pawn]

yeah its not possible to stop that, so i dont really see the point

[twilit ibex]

Prevents people from openly doing it

[fallen adder]

Just because we can't does not mean we shouldn't. Please cease the current discussion as to not clutter this channel

[fallow bough]

@fallow bough is it allowed for people to team up in normal contests?
@silver merlin I've said in the past that only one person wins in that scenario, and it's the one who did more work. I don't endorse teaming up and it can only work against you.

[silver merlin]

that needs to be a rule then.

[brazen pawn]

i knew that only 1 wins thats true, but i wont comment on it anymore and yeah should be written down then

[fallow bough]

that needs to be a rule then.
@silver merlin You're also not allowed to submit stock images of cheese. I just assume people won't think some things can be done. This just never seemed like something worth writing down.

[normal nebula]

@silver merlin You're also not allowed to submit stock images of cheese.
shit, back to the drawing board

[silver merlin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frick

~~"no #spriting-discussion contest" you cant get help from #spriting-discussion ~~

(joke ofc)

[normal nebula]

question, would an animated version and non-animated version sufficiently count as an "alt" for this contest

[fallow bough]

I'd say no.

[naive summit]

here

List of viable types for the sponsored contest: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oLMzeIe_ovSduhIk9rymqU7RKJgFoMsyjG5-7LfSPVQ/edit?usp=sharing

Made a doc with the viable types for this contest

[lime latch]

@fallen adder Gifs allowed?

[fallen adder]

I mean sure. can't guarantee it will look good though. Maybe make sure you put a regular version in too 😅

[zenith matrix]

@naive summit i guess u havent verified wheither those typings are possible with the currently ingame mons?

[lime latch]

shouldnt they all be possible if u combine the right pokemon?

[naive summit]

Correct Tene

[zenith matrix]

shouldnt they all be possible if u combine the right pokemon?
@lime latch in conjuction with the appropriate abilities i ment

[lime latch]

k

[naive summit]

I haven't verified they're all possible with the mons in the game, since that'd take a good bitmore work than I'm down to put in, but all those types should be viable in general

I also didn't include shedinja but meh

[lime latch]

Thank you Howl for creating the list

[naive summit]

probs could

[misty acorn]

I don't think a shedinja fusion would have a good chance at winning. At least one where it is the body

[normal nebula]

dammit, my idea doesnt work, cause the mon I had in mind is one of those exception pokemon that doesnt follow the type rules

[twilit ibex]

Rip

[naive summit]

hm?

[normal nebula]

was going to do Cofagrigus/Metagross, but it would end up being Ghost/Steel instead of Ghost/Psychic

[naive summit]

rip

[twilit ibex]

That was a good idea too

I believe in you TimeAxis

[normal nebula]

the design would have looked so cool too. 😦

was going to base the claws on these stone statue things

[naive summit]

that woulda been dope

[normal nebula]

still plenty of time to think of something else though

[shrewd field]

Here's a list of all the possible 2-weakness-only TYPE combos I could find (does not factor Abilities):

ground/water, flying/steel, dark/ghost, fairy/steel, grass/steel, dragon/steel, dark/poison, psychic/dark, electric/water, electric, normal, normal/electric, poison, normal/poison, poison/steel, electric/poison, fire/ground, dragon/water, psychic/ghost, electric/flying, ghost, flying/ground, fairy, normal/ghost, normal/psychic, normal/fairy, fairy/ghost, electric/fairy, water, electric/bug, water/flying

I will be updating this if I find any more.

[naive summit]

way ahead of you

see: pinned sheet

[lime latch]

its already pinned you fool

[twilit ibex]

Omai wa

[shrewd field]

well, I tried to be helpful…

[twilit ibex]

[lime latch]

its ok

[naive summit]

yeah we just both had the same idea lol

[shrewd field]

okay, that sheet is wrong

[naive summit]

okay

howso.

[twilit ibex]

Hmmmmm

[shrewd field]

some of those have more than 2 weaknesses

[naive summit]

such as

[twilit ibex]

Howls messed up

[shrewd field]

normal/bug

[naive summit]

What'd I mess up

ah yeah forgot to move that one in my notepad list

anything else?

[shrewd field]

question: What about Abilities that don't grant immunities, but do grant resistances, like Thick Fat?

[naive summit]

good question

I want to say because the way it works actually halves the pokemon's offensive stat in the damage calc rather than actually halving the damage output, maybe not counting but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[misty acorn]

I think it doesn't count, as the game will still say that it's very effective

[twilit ibex]

Yep would still technically be a weakness

[naive summit]

yeah ig technically it doesn't change the effectiveness, just the damage of it

[lime latch]

@fallen adder just ask thats instead of speculating

Abilities that don't grant immunities, but do grant resistances, like Thick Fat?

[naive summit]

they don't grant resistances, they just halve the offensive stat of the mon attacking regarding fire/ice moves

[zenith matrix]

id guess its just about "good" fusions

[twilit ibex]

Zangoose fusion? Normal ghost??

[zenith matrix]

the mighty steel/steel double typing

Zangoose aint in the game

[naive summit]

I fixed that already

[zenith matrix]

😭

[twilit ibex]

Rip

[naive summit]

refresh ig

[quartz locust]

Doesn't Steel/Ice and vice versa have more weaknesses? 😮

[zenith matrix]

damn

[naive summit]

,,dark?

neither steel nor ice are weak to dark silly

[quartz locust]

Ignore me being a fool. 😦

I meant Fire. 😂

[twilit ibex]

Sabotaging

[naive summit]

but yeah qualifies if they have levitate or flash fire, though I'm not sure if any mons are viable for a fusion for that tbh

maybe rotom heat when that eventually gets added?

[quartz locust]

I wish we knew the mystery donor's favourite Pokémon so I could play to that. 😢

[twilit ibex]

Yeah would need good fusion potential and typing

[normal nebula]

Isnt it by vote anyway

[quartz locust]

Oh it is, you're right. 😉

[twilit ibex]

Donor probably thought about that

[quartz locust]

Good point, people would just pick their fave otherwise. 😂

[untold scroll]

Don't know what my favorite mon is.

[quartz locust]

My two favourites make up my username. 😅

[naive summit]

Blastoise Rayquaza?

[quartz locust]

Half right. 😉

[zenith matrix]

Blaziken

[naive summit]

ah

My favorites are ever shifting, usually to do with whatever I'm using in a nuzlocke, but Hydreigon has remained up there for awhile ;w;

and Weavile

[quartz locust]

They're both fantastic designs. 😄

[zenith matrix]

stating mine would be...uhm, well i guess its obvious what mine is

[naive summit]

hmm

[quartz locust]

And Hydreigon and Weavile are both Dark-types, so clearly super effective on Ice-types. 😂

[naive summit]

dark is one of my favorite types in general lmao, I just like a lot of their designs

[zenith matrix]

does anyone know anyone besides me who really really like Zangoose?

edgelord

[naive summit]

I actually do like Zangoose a good bit

toxic boost is fun to play with

[zenith matrix]

huh ♥️

[naive summit]

and I love its color palette and markings lmao

Kratos mongoose

[crude cedar]

https://youtu.be/_wnl9qqH5TQ

[misty acorn]

Are self fusions allowed?

[quartz locust]

I also really like how it actually shares its eye design with Seviper, but flipped upside down as well. Saw that as a cool link between their designs. 🙂

I'd imagine so. 😄

[crude cedar]

wait what ?

is that true ?

[twilit ibex]

2 of my favorites aren't even in the game

[zenith matrix]

u mean the self-fusion stuff? well the rules leave that open

[quartz locust]

Yeah Seviper and Zangoose both have pink semi circle eyes. 😃

[crude cedar]

rattata / Rattata And done

[twilit ibex]

[naive summit]

too bad zangoose and seviper aren't in the game ;w; They'd make a fun fusion

[misty acorn]

indeed

[zenith matrix]

well, i disagree, their body types arent really matchable imo

[misty acorn]

~~ If only Tene had won the triple starter contest ~~

[zenith matrix]

well, i tried 😅

[naive summit]

I'm kinda just imagining Zangoose with Seviper's palette, with blades based off its tail blade and shit though

seviper's color palette mmmmm

I love blacks and purples and golds

with that pop of red

[zenith matrix]

ye, i can see that somewhat
but for some reason its hard for me to imagine any Zangoose fusions as the way how fusions work, would make it hard to keep what Zangooses design makes so good, if u get what i mean

its a nice palette, but for Zangoose? im not sure

[quartz locust]

Zangoose has a really simple, clean design that is really cool but probably makes it tough for it to be a fusion body. 😦

[naive summit]

fair enough

[zenith matrix]

and as a fusion head i can only imagine it really on similiar body trobes, Ursaring, Weavile, slicy and fluffy boys

[lime latch]

corsola body is rock and head water right?

[naive summit]

honestly just doing some googling

I vibe with this?

also uhh lemme check

[brazen pawn]

this is really cool

[naive summit]

its water/rock

[brazen pawn]

best mon is easy to answer its literally the #1

[naive summit]

so I believe that's correct yeah

primary type is head, secondary type is body, right?

aside from special cases like normal/flying n stuff

[brazen pawn]

yes

[zenith matrix]

cool fusion, but not really ma Zangoose anymore, like i dont get his vibes from that

[naive summit]

something like this would be rad too

[zenith matrix]

weird execution, but ye kinda

[lime latch]

as far as i see rock and icetypes are more or less a nogo for this contest

so corsola head it is

Does it has to be a specific ability depending on comb or in genral one of them

[teal bone]

I wanna participate but I’m not gonna get anywhere :l

[misty acorn]

They all remove the lightning weakness, so it doesn't matter which one

[naive summit]

yeh

[fallen adder]

Abilities that don't grant immunities, but do grant resistances, like Thick Fat?
@lime latch in the case of thick Fat I'm pretty sure It just reduces damage but still has the weakness which is used in calculation. Correct me if I'm wrong

[lime latch]

that was analyzed here yeah

[tulip totem]

All created sprites must be new to the game, aka not sprites that you have already created
does that mean we can make sprites that somebody already made?
Each Sprite must include an Alternate version of the original.
what does that mean exactly?
we have to make the same fusion twice?
does a shiny version/alt count?

[teal bone]

I really want to enter but I stand no chance

[wind topaz]

I would enter, but I don't want to give out any information about myself to claim the money

[sudden vector]

Same here Knuckles

[twilit ibex]

I'm pretty sure on paypal u don't need to publicly show ur name

Plus they said u can choose how u want to get it

I think a gift card is pretty anonymous

@wind topaz

[wind topaz]

A gift card requires you give them your address so they can send it to you

[twilit ibex]

You can get the details

[fallen adder]

A gift card requires you give them your address so they can send it to you
@wind topaz knuckles you realise giftcards have codes on them

[wind topaz]

Sending a code requires they know your Discord username

Too personal

[fallen adder]

[shrewd field]

so few Pokémon get Flash Fire that aren't Fire type

[twilit ibex]

Knuckles is a troll

[shrewd field]

true

[fallen adder]

does that mean we can make sprites that somebody already made?
what does that mean exactly?
we have to make the same fusion twice?
does a shiny version/alt count?
@tulip totem sorry for the late reply. You can make a sprite already in the game, but it's always nicer to make new ones. In terms of an alt it just means another version. so yes a recolour like a "shiny" would be an alt. so would something like a different design approach such as if you gave the sprite a bunch of horns and then you make another version without

[twilit ibex]

^

[shrewd field]

Hydreigon/Metagross

[ashen star]

LOL

that was my first thought

[devout slate]

It’s actually so crazy there’s a sponsored contest

[normal nebula]

Is there a limit on how many alternates are allowed, or can it only be one alt?

[crude cedar]

Imma do vaporeon / sandslash

[woeful lintel]

will be only 1 semi final ?

or top voted sprite of each polls are going in final directly ?

[fallen adder]

Is there a limit on how many alternates are allowed, or can it only be one alt?
@normal nebula You can make more if you want. But I would say only submit one

or top voted sprite of each polls are going in final directly ?
@woeful lintel How the voting will work is yet to be 100% fleshed out but it won't be the same as past comps

[lime latch]

Voting happens with a dice roll

[thick atlas]

Will there be a non sponsored contest too?

[fallen adder]

At some point there should be ye

[pastel fog]

oh @fallen adder I wanted to ask

"Max Submissions: 3" means 3 different concepts in general or 3 versions of the same mon which are sprite + alt + icon?
