ok thanks
I'll brb so If anything is up with the poll deal with it for a bit 👀
waaa both of mine made it to the finals 😮
That's a really solid final, good luck everyone! 😄
What's your second one Kiwi? I know you did the Delibird / Snorlax. 😃
togepi/onix
Ah, for some reason I never had that pegged as yours but I can see it now. 🙂
it looks traumatized, ofc its mine
i made it last second when bta called for help cuz some peeps didnt do their sprites
Anyone in amoled dark mode can't see the rows and columns, i was able to figure it out pretty easily tho
Why is the actual screenshot so dark though?
Don't be so surprised, mammuth 2
It's dark mode, duh. 😛
Ah yes, the secret dark mode that blacks out images
i hear so much about this legendary mammuth
Look up his name in the gallery just to get a lil taste
yeah ive seen his stuff
ive also mostly seen people shit on his style being overly detailed and whatnot so
I personally had my qualms with his sprites but they were very technically proficient.
being mamuth 2, no thanks
I dunno his sprites were awesome
I think they were amazing for sure, but they didn't fit the BW style like even a little bit so I often cast my votes elsewhere. 😅
not as good as kiwis
They didnt fit the style sure, but they sure as hell shouldn’t be shit on
I'm not the first one who's compared you to mammuth
To me this is an amazing sprite I could never do, but it's not an amazing Pokémon sprite. 😅
Still a damn good one, but minor things detract, you know? 🙂
Yeah thats not particularly pokemon
its meh
But holy shit that’s spectacular
I believe this was Mammuth, and is one of my favourite sprites of his. My only criticism is the random dark blue underbelly, other than that it's exceptional. 😄
its still pretty bothersome that ive heard people crap on mammuth for hogging the contest podium + his sprites not fitting the style way more than ive heard people just genuinely appreciate his art
if anything its usually "yes theyre great but"
Honestly yeah
they are digimon
it was just meant to be a compliment stop deconstructing it 
and i like digimons
Imo they didnt fit Pokémon, but they deserve the wins
youre fine dw this is a separte thought 😂 ty ❤️
And yet people are still wondering why mammuth left.
Exactly
I think people like underdogs so it became a bit vitriolic for that reason, something I myself was guilty of. 😦
"was"
👀
Goddamn
I mean now I'm more consistent, like if anyone doesn't match the BW style I tell them. 😛
Back then I only brought it up in relation to Mammuth. 😂
well i mean thats fair at least 😂
Doesn’t make his sprites any less awesome
Oh hell yeah, Mammuth's an amazingly talented individual. 🙂
The level of detail he can achieve in sprites is really something else. 😄
I really hope that score him a bigger thing in life
They arent bw style pokemon but they are probably the best sprites here in terms of like
Detail
Quality? Idk the words
I think if he wanted to pursue professional spriting he'd be very quickly employed for sure, his talent is just something else. 😃
Mammuth still makes fusions on his instagram, I believe he does paid commissions
Scenery and map tilesets would be great with that level of attention to detail. 🙂
Thats awesome!
oh
I thought mammuth was still going through irl stuff and not spriting
But yeah, it can be very demoralizing having people constantly shit on the work you put tons of time into
I checked this guy out and all I can say is just. Wow. The regulars only 4 months ago were this toxic? Geez. 😬 If I were that guy, I would have left, too. Just wow :/ That's really messed up. I got a MAJOR air of insecurity from those people, almost like there were a couple that were tearing him down just to protect their own egos because they felt threatened by his skill. How petty
I am trying to keep a toxic climate, but its hard on my own
lmao keks
im glad the mods are working on making the server a nicer less toxic place nowadays ❤️ thank you moooods
Right, I guess that was probably around the time the staff stepped in and tried to cut down on that shit yeah? The most recent Rules post in the rules channel is from late August
then why am i still here?
react to your own message with your this emote so that I can do it without nitro
Rules in general were established in August
youre not toxic
not at all to be honest
i have been called rude
but not toxic
youre blunt if anything
blunt as a baseball bat
Can you let that man be an ass if he wants to?
Have some dignity
Blunt / straightforward ≠ toxic. Toxic is underhanded, petty, and vindictive. Straightforward is curt, to the point, and has integrity. Big difference
c;
no youre super toxic u_u ban snivy
🤣
i was hoping youd post this 
That is a really long GIF
I love it
I had to wait for it to playthrough because there are multiple versions with images on the planet
i used to have all the mod pet emote gifs faved but i lost them somehow
i only have the blaq one the only one i need
Woah what
What
Can someone explain?
Okay, hang on lemme send you screenshots thru DM
Alright
i want the screenshots too 👀
Sent them, I guess I probably could have also just linked to that part of the thread LOL
I will next time :P
Lmao
im glad everyone is nice and supportive now
your welcome
Honestly, the difference in this server the past few months is absolutely phenomenal, I just wanted to thank you guys who joined since then for being a huge part of that change. Your wholesomeness made this place better than the toxic cesspit it used to be. ❤️
If discord crashes all favourites will be wiped, like a poor lads dinner in an alleyway
And so it goes, like a thin piece of paper below a sudden wind blow
congrats kiwi
Congrats!!!!!
Well done to the winners! The sprites were fantastic!
honestly i'm surprised that i even got to the semis
congrats babe kiwi

aaadfs thank you everyone <333
@tall moss can you make a Christmas alt for the icon?
its santa
how does one make santa even more santa
santa/santa self fusion
Santa/Satan
also kiwi is red now
Delibird/Giratina
Stan/Thanos
Sthanos
Perfection
Stanos
That's clearly Thanos head Stan body.
Nice beard

its the thanos chin lol
amazing
I KNOW RIGHT GUFTRN'GSRGVHU
new role, niceeee
AAA IM RED
Hi Red. I'm jealous.
Soaking in the blood of your enemies
i never win a contest again
i love redddd
It's above Contest Champion just so that you'd keep the red regardless.
Did not even notice this was a different image initially.
its 1% more christmassy
Congrats! Also good Christmas alt!!
101% christmassy
OH IT HAS A CHRISTMAS HAT
last I checked, kiwis weren't red
Petition to give to Kiwi the Creator role so he turns green 
congrats kiwi, you now have way more role than everyone els
if you "peel" the bird kind theyre pretty red 👀
🔪 
remember when people thought i was wholesome
Why people wouldn't think that now
i mean aside from the implication of skinning birds alive, no reason
aNYWAY are we gonna have anyother contest starting soon? 👀
I'm kinda curious to see what the prompt of it will be tbh
Damn Kiwi, that sprite was honestly amazing, adored it so much! 😄
thak you so much ❤️
i think i got really lucky getting knuckles request tho 👀
delibird/snorlax is the perfect christmas fusion
I still don't know who requested my one but I want to thank them, it was really fun. 🙂
and you did a great sprite for it ❤️
Eyy, congrats Kiwi and everyone else 
Also, @fallow bough can't you go with a red that penetrates the eye a bit less? 😂
I chose it because red is violent and Kiwi is violent.
You're free to choose a softer red, I just grabbed a random red from the sliding scale and I have no sense of colour.
no i quite like the eye-penetrativeness of this red
Oh, I didn't even know I had that power 👀
Yeah, I was about to say 👀
~~Last time I wanted to change the server icon to a Clefable it didn't really work out
~~
This is why you don't have those privileges. 👀
How in the hell did my Dusknoir/Scizor make it to the semis?
Tis' a shame, I was rooting for Togepi Onix
that was mine too 😆 thank you ❤️
I might join the next contest depending on the prompt. Seems like it'd just be a fun way to personally challenge myself. But I also hate competing sjdfkasdjfl
True true, the vibe is overall really supportive and relaxed
Good job on 3rd 
yesss its great
oh and you too kiwi but I am more biased towards Katten solely because he did mine 
there were SO many great sprites
my fave was the roserade/farfetch'd one
im glad it got all the way to the finals
mine got one vote 
guess I had to go bigger with my small boy
im glad i even got to the semis!
honestly I would be too considering how good they were
you did great spleens 😄
Thank you!
Which one was yours again?
Crobat/Lunala
ohhh
Congrats to our new Contest Santa! :D @tall moss
thank youuu ;v;
From now on, every sprite i'll do for a contest shall be a fully custom one. 🤔
You got my vote in the finals so if they are all as good as that 👀
you should be in bed!
Rule 7 👀
Yes, but the new ones upcoming aren't, and you said you would vote for me so.. 👀
Im confused now
I'm actually also. 😂
I am in bed, just not asleep!
do you have school tomorrow?
Retro did mine. :sadisaactoast:
I was super disappointed when he felt he didn't want to upload to the drive.
correction: i still have all the pets faved on my work pc 👀 seems it has to do with local cache
i see that sad bread isaac, be sad no longer;
btw are we getting a new contest soon or will it have to wait for next year?
I hope for next year, i really don't want to stress over i can't get a sprite made for a contest in Sweden. lol
We could do a 'best of' maybe? 🙂
Like gather up all the medalists from the past contests this year and vote to see which one was the best of the best. 😄
Uh..
like tournament style brackets?
Prediction: Mammuth wins
Yeah, why not? 😄
Big massive tourney that spans quite a while to give people slack over Christmas. 🙂
no work for us
we just get to watch the CMs struggle
If you take all the winners of the year, Mammuth has a high chance at winning, he's won like half of this years contests or something.
I mean that's because his sprites are really good. Worst case we could limit it to maybe 5 or 10 sprites per person and use their highest-scoring ones? 😅
3 entries max per contest 
Apparently I've only placed in two contests, but I know that's not right because it's missing one. 😦
Ah, it's because we only used to display the winners. 😢
Which makes tracking down who came second and third really difficult. 😦
I only got good like now, so i don't think i would have a chance. Lol
That doesn't matter, what matters is how much you've improved since you joined. 😄
Because of how voting was done, there was no defined second or third. The voting system was changed to accommodate for them, as they are now undisputed.
But yeah BTA and I planned to take it easy over Christmas this year.
We could do a 'best of' since the new contest format maybe? Less sprites at least. 🙂
#event-general message @quartz locust
Best of over the 18 winners since the new format? Seems a bit weird to not just do the year. 👀
Also the last time I tried to do that it went uh, interestingly.
In fact the last time I tried to determine the overall winner over the year is the reason we now use a Discord bot for voting.
and u wanted to hold given contest again afaik 👀
Yeah but then mammuth disappeared and it would have basically had no winner.
What's Given Contest? 😮
who gave a contest to whom
implying no one else had a chance to win said contest back then...
are the contest sprites used for the game or are they just there
They are as long as the fusion actually existd in the game
k thanks for the help\
That's the point of contests, exploiting our competitive streaks to make us more productive. 🙂
in my case, making me feel insecure about my abilities, rip
I understand that feeling all too well. 😢
snivy: is the best spriter on the server
also snivy: is insecure about her abilities
like girl plz
That's me!
Well
Idk about the first one LOL
But the second one definitely 😂
But thank you, I appreciate it wkdndkfjcjek
I like that every time Snivy is flustered, she has a stroke after whatever she says
i love the keysmashes
LOL I LOVE IT AHAHAHAH
Fucking STROKE, I've never heard that one before 😂 But yes that is definitely something I do when I'm flustered, you're really astute xD
AKDNDDKDNCKDM
crsrdtvrsfdgstbk
New contest when ? 
Not until New Year's to give people time off for a bit. 🙂
Ok 👍
The next contest should be celebration theme, change my mind
i would love a silvester theme
What Pokemon could we use for fireworks? 
Electrode? 😅
i think many fire and electric types could work
Implying it wouldn't be an Isaac's Birthday theme next.
whens your bday 👀
theme of only gen 4 fire types
Theme of only fire types that can be obtained during the main story of diamond and pearl and that arent starters
I love how they added a fire type elite 4 member anyways
But I actually like that they did. Diamond and Pearl definetly have the hardest pokemon league thanks to this
5th of January.
Same birthday that these two twins who used to be in my grade have.
Their names were Zach and Josh. They were so competitive and sporty, it was unbelievable.
Identical twins, btw.
Everyone in my grade basically hated them, so they were called Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumbass
And then they left, thank god.
Don't feel bad for them, they sucked. Little brats.
Oh I don't feel bad at all, I'm assuming based on how you're phrasing it that they more or less deserved the title xD
yeah... 😂
Y'know what fuck it, I'm just going to have to get over myself and my insecurities and just join the next contest. It'll be good for me to go outside my comfort zone!
Plus it'll be a good opportunity for me to challenge myself since I'm a goddamn perfectionist
oh noes
heck ye 
I never looked at the contest as an actual contest, I just wanted to participate in something lol
Kiwi's out here being a fuckin chameleon
Kiwi's out here being red, blue and beige at the same time

Situs inverses
I just use them as inspiration ideas since that's what i struggle with the most
I just noticed there hasn't been a new contest in a while.
they said they would take a break until the new year
Oh. That makes sense.
btw @fallow bough do you have a specific day for when the contests will be back 👀 i need to know
@fallow bough When’s the next contest?
Maybe you’ll have an answer now that roughly 5 hours have passed
its already due 
Translation: never
2022
it's a riddle
At least give us a hint 😂
no. budew
Notice how I made a Golett sprite specifically to push it further away from contest territory again.
Yesterday was the 28. Today is the 29. Tomorrow is the due.
It's happening in 2021, so add two days to that. 😛
I thought Due was a day
Just don't count on it being on the first exactly, people have plans and stuff on New Years eve y'know :p some people are probably gonna be having to nurse their hangovers on that day 😂
I honestly don't think too many people will go all out this year, it's not like parties are a thing in most places. 😢
Although when the first lockdown hit my brother was day drinking, so who knows? 😅
Fireworks are not purchasable in germany this year
maybe the contest SHOULD start on the 1st to encourage people not to party 👀
Wait what? I heard that they were 
But I'm about to go to the store, so I guess I'll find out
Or is that Ländersache?
It's just Bavaria I think
We have poland for that
Just find someone doing his job
And set him on fire
Boom
Fireworks
get it, bc he works and is set on fire

Keks was right with the Fireworks
Killjoy
Eh, my "parties" only ever consist of close family members. And by close family, I mean Nate's. Not mine. Mine are a buncha squares 😂
close family members 
You're telling me lol
I've never been that emotionally close to my own family like at all. my grandparents? Sure. But my aunts and uncles and their kids are all terrible parents 🙃 and I'm glad I wasn't stuck growing up with them as my parents or else I would have ended up as dysfunctional as literally every cousin I have 😂
If it weren't for my dad, I probably WOULD have ended up that way. My mom can be prettty toxic ngl
She's gotten better with age yho
*tho
just throw the whole family away, cept for those last 2
thats what i did pretty much, i never talk to anyone except my parents
I can't even blame you. Good for you for cutting toxic people out of your life, especially with family cause that can be pretty hard
theyre not even toxic i just dont care sfsdf
Ah i see
Losing contests kills my joy. 😢

Hey, You've come really close in the past! I'm sure you'll win someday. 
@silver merlin 
Feel the glitchy sad bread emote. 
sendin happy positive vibes to corrupt katten even more
~ 💗
I'm not glitched anymore, though my profile picture is changed. 
u rite
still gonna corrupt you with positivity and happiness, the opposite end of the scale of fried avatars
corrupted with lawfulness 
Katten is a true lawful evil being.

I go in Chaotic Neutral 
Me, I go in Chaotic Good ! Nice when judging, awful when joking 
true neutral
Knuckles neutral evil
I'll take neutral good
Spleens is Neutral evil, I am true neutral
Neutral Evil is Knuckles
Chaotic Evil then ?
That's what I meant
He isnt chaotic tho
Why are you guys talking about this here?
@wicked onyx you are not true neutral, I am 
Is is judging everyone calmly
?avatar pengachu
Nicu
Most of the server would probably be put in neutral good
I would argue that Blaq fits better in lawful good
But remember, Isaac is the Messiah


But Isaac is the messiah
He can't be meaner than someone else
Too bad there isn't two Chaotic Evil, I would have put Stan
Because you broke Katt'n in half and you refuse to duel 
Neutral evil 
I didnt know I was gonna break katten like that
make a 2nd chart for all those peeps who got left out
ie me
You still refuse duels. That is a pure evil acting 
He threw me down to Neutral Evil
You should have been here before 
I dont refuse them
I removed myself from the duels list completely
duel me stan 🔫
Also getting really fed up and annoyed with the whole duel shit so if you wanna continue, dont
i wanna duel you cuz you make awesome sprites 
And I dont wanna duel anymore, end of story

I'm only mean to Stan, and that's the law. I'm just being lawful to a fault. 🙏
you only have 2 days left to be mean to stan
I know. 
make them count 👀
i second that
No contest for now
isaacs birthday themed 👀
What does that theme entail?
Thats pretty much a Isaac themed contest but with party hats 
What's an Isaac themed contest?
Good question. 👀
😂 a genuine answer to that question could be like
your fave mons, or mons youve used in games, something like that
I don't think a contest like that could work. xc
with a top 10 fave mons, thats 100 different fusion combos 

considering theres been a starter triple fusion contest before
where theres like, what, 4 possible fusions?
isaac's faves isnt that far out of the realm of possibilities 😂
The starter contest was a very special case though
isaacs birthday is also very special 
I don't know, i just think it would be rather weird 
i mean, i agree, im just arguing for the sake of it 😂
and cuz i could do a spreadsheet 
Even more spreadsheets?

when is his bday??
5th of January

If Kiwi wants a list of my ten favourite Pokémon for spreadsheet purposes I'd be happy to oblige. 👀
more spreadsheets 

Uh oh, maybe we should all give kiwi a list of our top 10 faves in case anyone wants to make someone a bday gift and ever needs ideas or sum shit 😂
Most of my faves aren't in IF tho 
That is strangely relatable, stan
I am strangely relatable
My like
top 2 stay the same
But everything else is changing every time i look at a different pokemon
my faves also arent in IF
but everyone sending me a list of their faves that ARE in IF would be 
My two faves are in IF
No Snivy in IF, but I'm happy there's at least Treecko
Tho tbh it's probably a good thing there's no Snivy because I would have singlehandedly made a ton of Snivy head fusions by now 😂
you would have completed all of snivy's head fusions by now
The one that goes over all of the mons and eventually makes the list for you
yes
hells yeah
the dragonfly cave one?
iirc you can set it pu to excluse certain mons too
so you can set up a lit of only IF mons
i just checked, its not that customizable
ah
i have this
its missing the aegislash line 😂
scribble over the ones you dont like til youve whittled it down to 10
This is my top 6 out of the If mons I guess. Nothing else really stands out to me
Wait is it 5 or 10
Top 10 fave IF evo lines from best to least best: Treecko, Sneasel, Kyogre, Jirachi, Totodile, Mudkip, Shinx, Bulbasaur, Arceus, Trapinch
I know we said Pokemon, not evo lines but like
I can't just pick ONE in a single evo line 😂 but hey that just means more inclusivity 😎
you could technically give me a ranking of all 420 mons from fave to least and i could chart that 😂
so its however many you want
If we're doing top 10 then Blaziken, Torchic, Rayquaza, Togekiss, Donphan, Houndoom, Ampharos, Politoed, Dodrio and Xatu. 🙂
not as many birds as i wouldve thought 
👀
@fallow bough gimmie your top 10 this whole idea was originally made for you 
Top 8
In order Golurk, Wailord, Bisharp, Galvantula, Haxorus, Torterra, Reuniclus, Magnezone
no top 420? lame 😔
thats next
I keep adding Pokémon to a list until I have ten that are in IF and just so many of them aren't. 
I have 8 that are in IF so far.
relatable
a smaller list is fine too
Apparently these are some of my favorite mons lol
The troubles I had with this list lol
Some of my favourites aren't in IF; Appletun, Greninja, Manectric, Scolipede and Zebstrika being the main ones. 😦
And I know that some of my favourites are only in IF because they're evolutions of Pokémon from Gen 1 and 2.
Like if Frogman could have chosen not to include Gliscor, he absolutely would have. 👀
i agree with those last two 😔
We're starting to get into the territory of Pokémon that I just sort of like. Trying to pick ten favourites from basically Gen 1, Gen 2, and random legendaries, is just not happening. 👀
i didnt care much for manetric until it got a mega, then it became like, my absolute fave 😂
So I'll just swap Runerigus for Cofagrigus and I'll just say that if anyone happens to make Cofagrigus fusions look sort of rune-y then it's good with me.
Dodrio, Cloyster and Dewgong are the only Gen I Pokémon in my top 50, and they're the really oddball ones that wouldn't be included in a "best of" the way the later gens in IF just have some fan-favourites. 😅
Not my fan favourites. 
Tbf Gen 1 and 2 arent the
Most
Interesting
Rosters
None of yours are my favs 
@tall moss Gliscor, Umbreon, Swinub, Snorlax, Mantine, Togekiss, Yanmega, Crobat, Porygon-z, Runerigus Cofagrigus.
I dunno, I feel like Gen II is kind of the anti-Gen I in a lot of ways; colourful, cartoony and cutesy as opposed to the "50 shades of rugged brown" that was Kanto's roster. 😂
Isaac is on Team Togekiss. 😉
i wonder if we had usage statistics, some of the least used mons could be swapped out for other ones people want in the game
wishful thinking i know
Too much micro-prioritizing, I think my brain would implode 🤣
that would be nice
Fs in the chat for Staraptor and Excadrill, who Frogman has cruelly removed from my favourites list and replaced with Porygon-Z and Runerigus Cofagrigus.
Doesnt make the designs
Interesting
Theres only a few that are great imo
wait,,
tomate: clefable
blaquaza: togekiss
knuckles: beedrill
@fallow bough : 👀 what will you designate as the 4th official team
Oh yeah I've done that thing before! It's a really neat concept
this is coming from a guy who has a literal whale as his second favorite pokemon
Also Gen 2's Pokémon suck. Like they almost all suck. It's like they didn't want you to use them because they just have bad stats. That's why like, half of them got evolutions later.
Bad stats and weird distributions.
And when i look back at gen one and 2 the designs are just
bland
Like Gen 5 gets a lot of shit for bad designs and then you look at gen 1
Weirdly enough, despite starting with Gen III, a lot of my favourites are Gen II. Ampharos, Donphan, Houndoom, Politoed, Xatu, Crobat, Lugia and Kingdra are some of my absolute favourites. I will concede that their stat distribution was terrible. 😦
Oddly enough though, Gen III I believe is the generation with the consistently lowest stats. 😦
FUCKING GENIUS JERRY
Kiwi trying to find ways to make everything ridiculously efficient 😂 to be fair tho I think it's cool your brain works that way. Like that's something that would have never crossed my mind
Uhhh... I feel like there's nothing that's close enough to those goliaths that I like enough to pick as a team leader. 👀
Those are the coolest pokemon there
You could pick Togekiss again and have Team Togekiss 2. 😉
And i kinda like Fortress
pick the least sprited mon when we find out what that is in 2 days
Beedrill isn't far off on my favourites list either. I like Beedrill. 👀
Oh and Raikou is a little goofy but i like it
But hmm, Knuckles... Do I want to make him happy...
Just pre-emptively kill off Golett, Klink and Klang. Nobody likes spriting them. 😦
Golett and Klang contests are coming up.
YESSS GOLETT
rip Golett
:'(
Also despite this, Gen 2 has some of mine and a lot of other people's favorite designs. xD I just think that's interesting lol
golett is kinda neat to fuse ngl
Gen 2 has some good designs
Yeah Gen 2 has the most of mine also.
Umbreon is very popular with people but Glaceon is my favourite Eeveelution. 🙂
But yeah they are so shit to use
But they still suck to use.
It's actually interesting to see what they'll be. I did a bunch of Clefable fusions with some of
the least sprited mons
Kanto, kanto everywhere
I would like Glaceon more if it had been usable before Gen 8.
Gen I games are worse though. 😛

Glaceon is epic
I've done a 3-0 battle in Gen V with Glaceon against a Chandelure and a Mienshao, I felt cool beating them. 😄
Pun intended.
Right depends on how you look at gen (something) games... gen 2 games are also hgss
Leafeon
My fave eevee is somewhere between Vaporeon and Sylveon, it's hard to pick between them
Thus, gen 1 games are better, cause they have kanto mons
Leafeon is really cute too!
Gen 5 best Gen
Where are the fcking johto mons in (h)g(s)s
i added a lot of the early clefables and beedrills by hand so theyre counted on the tallys 👀 my prediction is sandile
I think my order is Glaceon > Sylveon > Jolteon > Leafeon > Espeon > Umbreon > Flareon > Vaporeon. 🙂
Oi tomate, juice
HGSS don't fix all of the problems, they only fix some of them. Despite this fact they're apparently the "best games" even though people are probably forgetting the massive flaws they had.
What's with the 
Emerald is the best game. I'll accept Platinum or BW2 as arguments though.
Mainly I love how bulky Vaporeon is tho, that HP stat 
HGSS are good, but not amazing. You still fight team rocket grunts for half of the game
Hot take, Diamond and Pearl weren't good games either.
The Gen IV aesthetic was gorgeous. 😄
...the looks are gorgeous tho
Gen 1 is 
What about BW
yes this
At least gen1 had gen1 mons
That's what I meant with the whole gen 1 is better
Boring
If only they weren't the physical embodiment of s l o w.
Sandile would be painfull because we already had the evolution xD
YOURE NOT GETTING THE POINT 
That's the biggest problem but I emulate now where it's fine. 🙂
THATS
NOT
MY
POINT
:joy:
Mainly, people enjoyed the sheer amount of gameplay that HGSS had. It was pretty packed to the brim with a lot of really immersive little details and fun postgame stuff to do.
Also Platinum is a good game. I never said it wasn't.
But Diamond and Pearl are truly terrible. What the hell is that Pokédex and speed, and why do people defend them? 👀
My problem with Gen V is that a lot of the roster was meant to fill the same niche of the Kanto one. 😦
Ohhh I see what you're saying isaac
THAT GEN 1 GAMES ARE BETTER IN THE FACT THAY THEY HAVE NATIVE MONS, GEN 2 HAS KANTO MONS AS WELL
WHERE ARE THE JOHTO ENCOUNTERS IN GEN 2 GAMES?? THEY ARE RARE
That's my point
Gen 1 sucks, but at least they have mons from their own gen as encounters
Unlike gen 2
The Johto encounters are in Kanto, duh.
I know there's usually a lot of "regional X" but the parallels between Kanto and Unova were just too high, plus the dex fillers that were the Elemental Monkeys. 😦
So in that sense, gen 1 is better
Speed?
except the designs are actually good in gen 5
Mate you think Mewtwo and Solosis are the same Pokémon because they're the same type.
DP are bad yes
Look at Conkeldurr and tell me that's a good design. 😦
Pt fixes a lot
I like most of them, but the retreads usually aren't that great. 😢
The parallel was pretty intentional. The theme of gen v was meant as a love letter to the older fans, to give them a similar experience as gen 1 did. Too bad those fans shit all over it. 😂
What I like with DP are the Pokémons, the soundtrack and the story
But HGSS gameplay is a quadrillion time better
aYes this
I think Platinum is probably the better game, but there are some things it does worse than Diamond and Pearl. It is way easier because a lot of trainers got leveled down and the lack of some typings makes the elite 4 really challanging, which I really miss in Platinum.
Because of that I think they are all great in their own right. Even if DP are slow as hell, yea
conkeldurr was based off of japanese construction workers, actually
Intentional or not, it was lazy. 😦
Both are shit, gameplay wise lol
I know, baggy pants and whatnot, doesn't mean it looks good. 😦
Nahhh I thought it was really clever
HOW WAS IT LAZY???
he's not that bad
4th gen comp
Cause not all the parallels were immediately obvious
Dppt is slow, hgss has really damn odd level curves and no johto mons
people just get mad about the thing looking funky
Because it was revising concepts that had already been done and just doing them again. 😦
I love Timburr, I just hate what it evolves into. 😦
Blaquaza unironically thinks that Beedrill and Scolipede are the same Pokémon. I don't really listen to his opinion on Gen V for that reason. 👀
Yeah i see that now
y'know what tho
No I don't, they fill the same niche though. 😂
You remember the clown?
HOW?
What is Beedrill's niche?
Both bug type = Same Niche
That's what fans have been doing for years and people love it. We shouldn't hold the devs to different standards
I actually like most of Gen V... 😦
I do too
Regional bug. It's the most tenuous regional bug but I class it as one. 😅
Simisear looks like its going to- Never mind
Guyssss we're just having a discussion, c'mon with all the ad hominems against blaq i dont want him to get the wrong idea ajdnnssnxnnsjk
Rhyhorn is literally just Terrakion what the hell game freak why so lazy
I like most of the Gen V designs... 😦
Bro, samurott is just a blastoise dude. Final stage water starter, unoriginal
What a clown
Blaq, at some point
Scolipede, Zebstrika, Volcarona, Galvantula, Chandelure, Reuniclus, Maractus and so on. All great. 🙂
I'll accept the parallels when they're valid, such as Timburr and Machop, and Roggenrola and Geodude. But there's no point trying to say that Cryogonal is just Articuno. 👀
Volcarona is a fucking badass
DPP have the best overworld design, gen 5 has the best battle engine and sprites/animations
I don't think that's what Blaq was trying to say, not even remotely 😂
You sometimes bring some valid points blaq, but comparing certain pkmn makes no sense
I just don't like "another three stage Rock-type Pokémon that evolves by trade" and so on. It's just redundant, but I do love Gigalith. 😄
Hot Take: bouffalant is better than tauros actually
My biggest problems with Gen V are the Elemental Monkeys and Basculin though. Oh how I hate Basculin. 😠
Just do what I do, and push Golem out of your mind, and replace it with the far superior Gigalith.
Gigalith > Golem, no question. 🙂
I like the monkeys. Way better than the gen 5 starters 👀

"Oh god we forgot to design more than one fish and the game ships today, quick put it on every route"
Damn. how did he get over here?
Bland, doesn't evolve, needless gimmick to make it seem more unique. 😦
Emboar best fire starter
The monkeys are alright. Just alright tho lol
:y
It's tremendously bland. The most bland fish Pokémon by far. 😂
BRO
Ah yes What if we made a goldfish and named it, goldeen
I think the main issue people have with the monkeys is that they're like, everywhere. And whenever you see someone with a Pansear, you can expect the other two to be close by.
Lucdisc
Maybe we all define bland in a different way is what I'm getting at
Just a really boring design with no real personality. 😦
And gave it a horn
Only I'm allowed to break and enter smh 
Blaq that's still so vague 😂
New original Pokemon
Dude there are so many more bland af fish
The fact it has 2 forms already makes it not bland
Pointless gimmick to make it seem less bland. They literally do nothing.
Vivillon has the same problem. 😦
why does IF always devolve into this same discussion 
Spinda does as well
Let me get a better understanding of what Blaq defines as a "not bland" fish pokemon cuz like, y'all are assuming you know where he's coming from when you guys don't even seem to at all 😂
Every fish pokemon is bland compared to Wishywashy. One thing that they really improved on since gen 7 is making most pokemon unique and giving them something that makes them really special
They have different hidden abilities. 👀
Blaqs just got different criteria to what's good and bad, that's all
I adore a lot of gen 7
pokemon are subjective unless its cinderace
VIVILLON IS AMAZING THO 
Don't remember seeing the dude in the anime tbh
Cinderace isnt that bad tho
SPINDA IS AMAZING THO

I WASNT HATING ON IT
Imagine getting to pick only one Pokémon to hate, and the hill you die on is Cinderace.
Pft
Because Pokemon has community spanning over so many generations that there's a lot of divisive opinions lol
*generations of people I mean
Vivillion is the superior butterfree
Isn't this mostly just us disagreeing with Blaquaza at this point?
Butterfree is a shit design, wheres the butter huh
Goldeen is bland, absolutely. I like Seaking's expression and think it makes it ironically funny. Lumineon is bland but aesthetically pleasing. Both are two-stage evolutions which means they can evolve on your journey. Basculin has no ironic funniness, isn't really aesthetically pleasing and can't evolve. But hey, it has two forms so I guess that makes it better. 😦
yeah
It's butter free. There's no butter.
I forgot finneon and lumineon existed lmao
Which fish would you consider not bland then? I'm just trying to understand where exactly you're coming from here so that everyone else understands too 😂
Magikarp has heaps of personality, Chinchou and Lanturn are unique and cute, Wishiwashi is great too. 🙂
blaq probably thinks stoutland line is a generic route 1 normal type
Right, kinda just goes to show how forgettable they are lol
That's very obviously Patrat though. 😛
Magikarp has heaps of personality
at all
Watchog is pretty poor. 😦
Patrat is cute though

Well I mean. Magikarp is bland but yeah, I guess you could say it's had more time for "character development." Its derpiness is kinda endearing.
I agree with Chinchou and Lanturn, I love them lol
Ah yes
It wants to die and is a failure. It's intentionally bad because it evolves into a ferocious beast. 😦
Character Development
Well that too 😂
It wants to die and is a failure.
i have something in common with a fish now
@quartz locust what's your opinion on Feebas and Milotic? 👀
I'm glad Magikarp has gotten more positivity as of the past few years tbh
Like from Pokemon official
bland, unoriginal bc it's just magikarp but female
Derivative of Magikarp and boring mono-Water doesn't help, but the design is unique enough and Feebas is adorable. I have a plush of it. 🙂
In that we got both a song and a game where it gets eaten by Pidgeotto? 
What about Milotic then?
Sometimes derivatives arent that bad blaq
So cynical, Isaac 😂
I dont see what's the problem with it
I didn't say Milotic was bad. 😛
I explained why it wasn't a bad derivative. 🙂
Or you're doing a really shit job at expressing how you feel about them
Hmm, fair point stan
Pikaclones are bad derivatives though. I like most of them but they do just exist for merchandising. 😦
He is giving kinda mixed messages, I can understand the frustration
I ain't frustrated
I can get behind pikaclones, those are a miss often
This is literally some guy in a poorly made fursuit, and i hate it
Pachirisu and emolga are top tier tho
I don't like derivatives unless they're different enough from the base, that's my point. Milotic's not bad because it's not just pink Gyarados. Pikaclones are just Pikachu with a variant skin. 😦
Squirrels are best Pikaclones for sure. 🙂
Spicy take: I actually like Cinderace's design lol.
So do I. 😄
LOL SPLEEN 😂
But it's not insanely furry
THE REACTS
In hindsight I think I like Rillaboom more though, Rillaboom without the drum is the best Galarian starter. 🙂
ur killin me man 😂
Zeraora is more furry like
Rillaboom does have a really cool concept behind it lol
Zeraora is a Sonic character drawn like a Digimon. 😦
CINDERACE IS LIKE
i find rillaboom the worst one because of the drum
Well the good news about Cinderace is that now we have the male equivalent to Lopunny 😂
A soccer player in a fursuit
The drum is the worst part by far. 😦
Not sure who I dislike the most: Cinderace, Incineror or the 2nd stage grass starter from gen 8.
But all of them can burn in a fire 
Completely agree. 🙂
Whaaat, okay Thwackey is really cute tbh
YOU DISLIKE THWACKEY??
Rillaboom should drum on its chest markings, which should be rocks and it should be Grass/Rock or something. 😄
Cinderace can go die
BROOOO
yes
Thwackey is one of the better middle stage starters
I said better
It has the worst color combination of any Pokemon. By far
What if Grookey was l o n g
Not really tbh
Not a fan of complimentary color schemes? Lol
I mean you hate cinderace and consider it the absolute worst
So I ain't listening to you

im joking stan
emboar second best fire starter tho
I think Spleens has a personal vendetta against Cinderace tbh 😂
Green and brown just do not go together.
When I go outside and see trees, I literally vomit.
Poor isaac
I don't have much of an opinion on Emboar but it is pretty cool
Shut in neet
You, my friend, are strange
it kidnapped my family, and killed my friends
Thats a bright orange tho
Emboar is amazing dont you dare say otherwise
Yes this
I didn't, u dolt lol
I was clearly mocking Tomate but OK
Just like the aesthetics of typhlosion a bit more
I, am clearly, dense. 😂
Okay Infernape is fuckin dope tho
2 long limbed fighting things who punch and kick ohnooo
Emboar sucks. All fire starters since gen 4 suck
TOMATE I SWEAR
Then again it was my first Sinnoh starter (and first fire/fighting) so I'm quite biased
Same for me
First ever starter as well
Gets outshined by empoleon and torterra in every way in my eyes lol
Tomate is the reason Game Freak keep focusing on Charizard.
Tomate coming in with the hot takes 😂 I love it
..I just dont like those white hair things it has on the side of its head
On infernape
If I was the reason we would have at least 7 special Meganium forms my now
Lol that's fair xD
Like everything on its face is cool
I mean tbh, I'd be okay with that
Ive come to hate Charizard cause of how much gamefreak tickles its balls
And then those hair things and it ruined it all
Nah char gets hated bc of the overusage from gf
Meganium is 👌 👌 👌 awesome
Char on it's own is a solid design
Ive come to hate Charizard cause of how much gamefreak tickles its balls
Same for Mewtwo
I love its color scheme
exactly
Charizard's design is boring though. 😦
Sad we never got Mega Meganium nium.
It's cool, but boring. 😦
We would be hating on meganium as much as we'd hate on char if it got 2 megas and a dynamax
He's so cool, yet so overrated
I agree with blaq on this one
Every Pokémon got a dynamax, silly Stan.
Probably not quite as much, but yeah good point LOL
Well except Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus
Gmax, you get what I mean 
A custom Dynamax you mean?
Deff as much
I'm certain on that
What is there to really hate about charizard
Nahhh, Charizard was already pretty overrated from the get-go. It had a huge headstart
Its called being an underdog yeah
And speaking of underdogs, Furfrow is best dog pokemon, no question
Besides the many many forms
Zamazenta is amazing shut up
But Lunala and Sogeleo are cool
no
Welp
tomate just doesnt like pokemon
Something about Zacian makes me absolutely love it. I think it's the fact that it's just a dog that picked up a sword and I'm meant to give it absolute respect.
LMAO TOMATE
Xerneas and Yveltal are cool, Zygarde is eh. Don't like the fact that he turns into one of those Power Ranger robots
Who are your favorite legends by the way ?
Lugia I'd say
Zekrom
But there are so many amazing ones
I have a top 5


kiwi be like
