before changing it sneakily to belt
NO YOU ARENT YOU CALLED HIM A FAT PIG
BRO
PIGNITE IS THE WORST
🤦♂️
BRUH

the worst? no
Yes
Mmmmm no
Bruh Emboar is the best
Bad probably
Basculin is objectively the worst.
I was thinking of pignite
but yeh its not as phenomenal as the rest of the line
Drizzile
Drizzile is ok. 🙂
A very fair choice, not the right one but still. 🙂
you and your unjustified hatred towards basculin 😴
IDk, everyone says it's emo but isn't that just true with all middle evos?
why do we always get back to hating either gen 5 or 8 in this discord 😂
I think Ken Sugimori himself said Basculin was an afterthought
i kinda like the water line from galar
He did
Its wasted potential tbh
Hey I've justified it before; literally added because there weren't enough fish as a an afterthought, bland design, pointless gimmick, pretty meh in battle, boring movepool. 😦
tbf the galar starter trio isnt awful, i just dont like rillaboom bc of the big ass drum
I don't mind Drizzile, but Inteleon is my least favourite pokemon of all time currently
FINE
Stan same
Rillaboom without the drum is a top-tier Pokémon, the drum drags it down. 😦
Rillaboom with the long hair was not a good design choice. 😦
look at this
Rillaboom has awesome rockstar hair
Yes, drummers have long hair usually, but it just doesnt fit
Cinderace is mine
the only change is that rillaboom has its drum in his hair
Cinderace is up there for me for being bad too
so much better already
I mean if that's not cool af I don't know what is
Completely agree, a small change but it adds a lot to the design. 🙂
but yeh its not the most amazing design, gotta have to say that
Inteleon has too much character for me to realistically believe there's a species of them, and it applies to alot of pokemon really
Inteleon is much too gangly for me, the proportions are off. 😦
Especially recently, I think. 😦
It has penis fingers
I agree, making its proportions correct would fix its design SO MUCH and then people could appreciate it for the James Bond lizard it is
Although Gen VIII introduced my favourite Pokémon since Gen III, Appletun. 😄
And HAVE YOU SEEN SNIPE SHOT'S ANIMATION
Because as more and more pokemon get made, they have to make them more interesting, but I think it sacrifices the logic behind them being the animals of this world
i think the biggest problem with intelleon isnt really how skinny its limbs are, its how his pattern stuff makes it look even skinnier
i think its also bc gf is making pokemon more and more interesting for kids, less for adults
so they become more simple, cartoony and cute
not just pokemon, look at most big anime, or cartoon
That is also true. I don't consider Inteleon a bad character design, but it's a bad design for a base species of creature.
I eish they kept it at like gen 5 levels of good but nooo
IT MIXES THE FACT THAT THIS TYPE OF LIZARD HAS A THIRD EYELID AND THAT WEIRD ANIME THING THAT THE CHARACTERS DO WHEN THEY'RE SERIOUS. IT'S GENIUS
I think they confuse interesting with personality though. So many species could be turned into Pokémon and make memorable designs (dolphins, thorny devils, kangaroos), but instead they're repeating a lot of species and therefore having to differentiate those from existing ones. 😦
Well, we technically have a kangaroo, who is also a dinosaur
much rounder, softer, less sharp
I don't count Kangaskhan at all. 😂
Neither do I
Me neither
Kangaskhan was a weak atttempt at shoehorning a kangaroo into its design
Kangaskhan/Breloom fusion for kangaroo, that one's for free you guys can have that
Tyrantrum us a kangaroo
Because in gen 1 everything had to be part animal
This is a cool fakemon design for it. 🙂
blaq tell me how many there are here then
4

Magnets, slime, orbs. 😂
7
Oh we dissing gen 8 designs?
you just said you dont count kangaskhan?
yeh were back to the basic subject in this discord
BRUH
we already dissed intelleon
Gen 1's pokemon are definitely more standard RPG designs. At this point in the series, they could afford to keep it simple
Yeah we went over it already. WE GET IT, IT HAS ANOREXIA. Move on, jesus.
Like, you have the Slime, the robots, the plants, etc etc
Yes but that plushie freaks me out
I actually think there's a lot of charm to them. Kanto Pokémon have a lot of texture whereas newer ones don't. 😦
Actually me too bruh
Kanto Pokemon are simple but effective. I like the newer ones too though
can we for a change talk about good gen8 designs?
inteleon plushie: 👁️👄👁️
I like that different gens have different art directions
Centiskortch
Even though Lillipup isn't a recent design, it to me is a symbol of things wrong with a lot of the designs after it. 😦
Grimmsnarl is my fav gen 8 pokemon
No texture at all, even though it's clearly supposed to be fluffy. 😅
It's still adorable, but it looks like a toy rather than a creature. 😦
I like how they tackled the fossils in Galar. It's a nice hyperboized cartoony take on how earlier paleontologists mixed up fossils from different dinosaurs on accident.
The birds are cool
Dracovish
dont hate on the lilipup line now 🔫
Orbeetle is also a kinda neat buge
Orbeetle is awesome
Oh plus Dracozolt is the only galar fossil that could actually have survived
Orbeetle is cool but I really hate Dottler. 😦
runerigus 🙏
It looks like a Mario enemy rather than a Pokémon. 😢
The pokedex entry even says it died out due to overhunting
Runerigus is a fantastic design. 😄
I liked dottler.
dracopult 🙏
The dex entries are made up by cara liss tho
Orbeetle is the only good one of that line
Blipbug's really long eyes creep me out. 😂
snom 🙏
Exactly, because she wants you to think that they were real pokemon
SNOM.
SNOM
Yeah
I would kill and die for Snom. ❤️
Frosmoth
SNOM IS AMAZING
I like the creepy monkey
Zarude?
With the vines yeah
Me too
Zarude is the best grass monkey, which is weird that we have multiple
zamazenta 
I actually have a shiny hacked one
I think Zarude's painfully forgettable. 😦
both zamazenta forms are amazing
Well it's better than Infernape at least.
However, should I get one I will call it Mojo Jojo. 🙂
ZACIAN
Ew
I like indeedee and the fact they are midgets
I like zacian more than zamazenta
zacian without the sword looks quite meh tbh
Zarude is cool to me because it has the feral ape look, which is fairly accurate and rarely represented
with the sword its really nice
No I meant with the sword
Yeah
Indeedee is just Audino but with horns. 😂
Exactly.
Yeah but its cute
i like the butler and maid aspect there tho
I really don't get all the love for it
bruh
like sometimes design aspects are also good to consider
Plus its typing is trash
i actually really like modern designs and i think older mons are under-designed
I don't know, just the design is too simple and bland.
Also I like how they made one form for singles and one for doubles
Seems like a design that was cranked out
Can we all agree that Appletun is supreme? 🙂
Yes
Anyone who doesn't agree is banned. 😄
obviously
Tini dragon apple
yes
The box legendaries without the sword and shield look awful imo
I like Appletun, but I liked Flapple more because it's an uggo
Ew
gmax appletun
Imagine liking flapple
Ew not the g max tho
i dont like zacian without the sword
G max appledudes are bad
Yeah the gmax sucks
The G-Max is bad. 😦
Why are they the same
zamazenta without the shield isnt bad
Nah zamazwnta without yhe shield is neat
Im not a fan of most g maxes tbh
I hate how their both the same
I like how Flapple is literally just a Bakugan. 😂
I like the gmax well enough but its just so lazy how their both the same
i really like the kanto starter gmaxes
I don't like it
Which one? 
Bro Gmax forms are amazing
I lile blastoise, charizard is ok but the wings look goofy
grimmsnarl
Applin and Flapple do the whole "Wyrm in the apple" aspect well, Appletun drops it which is unfortunate
Venusaur is bad
Flapple
they feel ancient
This is a fair point
You live to trash talk Hoenn another day. 🙂
gmax venusaur is one of my favourite gmaxes
Mega Pokémon had much better designs that g Max
I don't think there's any Gmax id consider bad
Personally just think its ugly
false
B..besides rillaboom😂🥴
Gmax snom
they look too modern imo
How about mf meowth
Stupid tall cat
Make Gmax Snom gamefreak 
Useless long cat
Eevee is a really bad G-Max. Like really bad. 😦
gmaxes have atmosphere
Gengar too. 😢
Eevee too yeah
they feel like kauiju
Charizard
I liked Perrserker, probably more than all the other meowths and persians
Eevee is the wprst gmax by far
gengar has an amazing gmax
Because
I don't know, I'm not really a fan of G-Max Kingler.
G max eevee doesn't even have a diff design to eevew
i really like kingler
Perrserker is currently my second least favourite Pokémon. I really, really loathe it. 😦
Correct
The fur got messier
Why's that?
Who would’ve known that giant monsters seem like kaiju? (Japanese for giant monster)
I meant to send this when we were talking about snom
thats the idea
The floor here is made of floor
they have that atmosphere that i much prefer to megas which are basically another evo
It's just Meowth but bigger with ugly red eyes and a boring monotype. The Viking idea was cool but they don't really do enough with it. 😦
I mean for that matter you can just use dynamax
G-Max Lapras should have been a Viking longboat like the beta Pokémon.
Mons are already monsters so dyna any mon is a kaiju
I sleep with my snom plush every night. 👀
Pocket monsters
What is Mega Lapras supposed to even be
The titanic
A bigger lapras
For no reason
I guess because on the titanic the bands kept playing or something? Idk
what
I like gmax duraludon even tho I genuinely dislike most gmaxes and base duraludon
its because lapras sings iirc
On the titanic the lobsters that were about to be cooked were set free
I agree, I like the G-Max a bit more. 🙂
dont they have a moaning sort of voice
Like a whale
yeah
Lapras doesn’t sing
Duraludon is one of the few gmaxes that make use of the giant aesthetic well
Duralodon looks like a lighter
And I did the Smogon sprite for it, that's why everyone likes it. 😉
Duraludon looks bad, and looks slightly good when it's gmax.
Garbage is probably my favourite g max
Okay were back to hating gen8 ot seems
yes
Let's hate on basic ass gen1 designs now
Altho the dex saying that its toys are "condensed gas that just so happens to look like toys" is very dumb
I dislike the g max, it makes no sense for it to become a building
It doesn't but It looks better in that form
Aside from the evolutions like dugtrio and magnemite being "Now there's 3 of them" I can't think of any I outright dislike
Machamp
See I think its the opposite
Just Machoke with 4 arms and tan lips
gotta love my team consisting of a pile of sludge, my 3 magnets together, a simple fcking bull thing with 3 tails (wow now its special)
Gmax dural was likely designed first
Fucking geodude
And they didn't know what to do for the base form
Rock with arms woww
He's a cool dude
Seal
G-Max Corviknight is pretty boring too. 😦
It is
Actually yeah I don't like those 2
Seel is cute. 😦
AND TUAROS CAUSE FUCKING BOUFFALANT GETS SO MUCH HATE AND PEOPLE WORSHIP FUCKING TUAROS
The name is incredibly lazy. 😢
Rant out of the way
Im not a big fan of fearow, spearow is cute and fearow is just kinda ugly
The design as well blaq
@wind topaz RSE Dex entries for lapras
People have driven Lapras almost to the point of extinction. In the evenings, this Pokémon is said to sing plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind still remain.
People have driven Lapras almost to the point of extinction. In the evenings, it is said to sing plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind still remain.
Nah I don't mind that, it's simple but cute. Definitely only works in Gen I though. 🙂
The Pidgey line is pretty boring, it just gets bigger and grows more hair
Eh
You don't mind that design being simple, but then hate on other designs for being simple?
EXACTLY LIKE "OOH HERE'S A BULL BUT WITH THREE TAILS" IS BETTER THAN "BISON WITH COOL AFRO AND GOLD STUFF" FOR SOME REASON
I dont like pidgeotto but pidgey and pidgept are fine
The vaguely Horus-inspired Mega Pidgeot is cool though. 🙂
Sun
Its high intelligence enables it to comprehend human speech. When it's in a good mood, it sings in its beautiful voice.
I forget what it looks like since no one uses it
Well no one can use it anymore amirite
I think with it being the first in the series, gen 1 isn't as bad to me, they've got charm despite their simplicity, and it works at that point in the franchise. It allowed for the future games to build upon it
IKR RIGHT ITS LIKE “oh yeah i like this normal bull with 2 extra tails” “oh this well designed bison” “WELL FUCKIT ITS LAZY BORING PIECE OF CRAP”
See the thing w design complexity is like
Bull crap 
Sword dex entry for lapras
A smart and kindhearted Pokémon, it glides across the surface of the sea while its beautiful song echoes around it.
Their designs had to be simpler in gen 1 bc they needed to work with a gameboy sprite
Yes
And similarly recebt designs are made with 3D angles and animated models in mind
But gen 2 had the same deal
so did gen 3
I think some designs are artificially complex though. Like a lot of Sinnoh designs (which on the whole, I like) added a lot of stripes, Hoenn Pokémon had a lot of weird rings and so on. Whereas new ones just go abstract, like Ultra Beasts. 😅
compared to gen 7/8
I think sprites are larger in gen 3, plus they have a lot more color
my favourite games are USUM
UBs are meant to look akward tho
Ew no
Doesn't mean I have to like it. 😂
SM over UsUm any day
Every game has its good and bad parts, and the good and bad designed mons
I don't think its justifiable to hate on 1 specific region tho
The ratios differ though. 😂
Games like USUM make the DLCs feel like a better choice for how to do things now
I didn't say you have to, just kinda feel like ots not a very good group to use as an example of modern designs when they are made to not look like other modern designs
and then defend it with like oh yehhh, its gen 1, first time, its good that they're simple
they still look bad now
Honestly my biggest issue w gen 1 is that the map is like
I don't hate most of the gen 8 pokemon
Really boring
I just find them needlessly complex. Deoxys was meant to be awkward at the time, still fits in with everything else enough whilst having a "this is a really weird creature" vibe. 🙂
“It’s their first 3D game guys, I’m sure they’ll improve it in the future”
I actually love alot of them
The amount of thought that gets put into some designs from the later gen is also amazing to think off, but people blaq tend to ignore that
Kanto's map really is awful. 😢
Which is sad bc Kanto lets you explore a ton
Kanto's map runs on how Iconic it is, and that's about it
You just don't have what to explore in the first place lol
No I don't, I like most of them. I just don't like all of them. 😂
It doesn't help that like 20% of Alola's Pokémon were Ultra Beasts.
Kanto runs on how the Pokémon company is forcing it down everyone’s throats
The rest of them I love, even Crabominable. 😄
Egg crab is funny
Crabomination
Eh in the end you can't change someone's opinion ofc
Sure you can, just yell at them
But I love the ubs, they look odd but I mean
You’re not very good at math
The lore is literally "Crabrawler bravely went to train in the mountains, then just got terribly lost"
Aliens, other dimension, ofc they're not your typical mons
I like all the UBs
I'm glad that gf didn't just make pokemon-like mons for other-dimension mons
I think it makes sense for UBs to look so strange
Bouffalant is one of my favorite pokemon along with snom and dracozolt and kyogre.
But they went all out with the crazy part
Yeah but one fo them is just a pile of wires
In what other franchise would I ever see a muscle girl mosquito alien lol
I think poipoole at least looks like an actual pokemon
That’s one’s my favorite
Xurkitree
I was hoping Poipole would look like Frieza or something when it evolved, rather than a bug
Yeah, it’s a purple mega Beedrill
Exactly
Black hole
They look nothing alike
Other than the bee aesthetic
They look pretty similar, especially with the shiny
Because they are bees?
B E E S
Naganadel should've kept the big head and tossed planet destroying energy bombs
You need new eyes if you think they look similaar at all
Needle
You need new eyes if you think they don’t look similaar at all
I agree, how do they not
they just have the same color when one is shiny they dont look that similar
Again literally the only similarity is that they are based on bees
So they have stripes and a stinger
naganadel is a bee?
What are you talking about? Same positioning, same needle, same shaped body, both really spiky
But literally everything else in the design is different
positioning isnt a factor
Ah yes same positioning in this one mid-animation screenshot
YES SO DIFFERENT
and wdym by spiky
lmao
They have the same shaped and sized body
Naganadel doesn't have legs, has actual arms with claws, drahon wibgs, an entirely different head, needle stibger
They both have three needles on their abdomens
This is like blaq explaining how scolipede is the same as beedril lol
Beedril doesnt
Bee has 1 stinger and 4 limbs/drills
Those are actually labeled as stingers too
not knuckles
Yeah the ubs are great
Yeh I still can't see them being the same design lol
WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME
They’re definitely different, but they have a lot of similarities
In that case every single bird mon is the same
just remove the shiny color and their not the same
The only ultra beasts I like are Nihilego and the christmas tree. And the poison one I guess, but I foget that that one exists 99% of the time
like i c what you mean but their not the same
The only similarities are that they are based on bees so they have stripes and stingers
It’s still weird that Lusamine looks similar to Pheromosa
i love christmas tree
My favourite is Buzzwole
That’s some weird coloring on that Weedle
The fact all blood-drinking mosquitos are female elevates Buzzwole's design to me lol
I hate that gf didn't do anything with this
RIPPED CHAD
i always saw naganadeleas a mosquito
She strong buge
Same as with Guzma and xurkitree
if you ever start working out just know youll never be as cool as Buzzwole
i like cableboy
Guzma doesnt look like xurk
Lillie being dressed to look like Nihlego makes sense
Yes
Just has messy white hair
People just were theorizing that all the characters would have UB counterparts
Before the game came out
is solgaleo an ultra beast? also yes pheromosa looks too damn much like lusamine
no its a legendary
Solgaleo is just a legendary right
Cosmog line are UBs yes
They are?
no i dont think
Then how do they know what the sun and moon are
Iirc they are both
They’re classified as legends, but the games have also said they’re UBs, so I guess they’re legendary UBs and only called legendary for simplicity
I think they are classified as legendaries tho
Lile, if UBs are just regular mons on their respective dimensions it would make sense for there to be legendary ubs
How does an alien know what electrical wires are, or bamboo rockets, or origami? Who cares they don't make sense
Kartana is so boring
Other dimensions means they don’t have to explain because infinite possibilities
they ARE these things, duh
Kinda lame
wrong
you dont have to know what an arm is to have one lol
Kartana is awesome
kartana is very kull
It speaks english in reverse
I also like the clown
It explode
Fireworks clown
guzzlord very bad
Literal mind blow
especially on showdown
no bad
Mind blown signature move
he dont really have much
I like guzz but it sucks in battle yeah
exept huge pv
Guzzlord looks like it should just be a statistical monster but it's not
wdym
Nihilego best ub no argument
but
I like drawing pheromosa
Like, it looks like it should have high hp, atk and defences, but it's only really good with HP
buzzwole
yea earthquake
now it can suck your blood AND beat you to death
wonderful
imagine if the mosquio had to punch you to bleed to suck it lmao
like drain punch?
just beat the shit out of you and suck the blood out of you unconscious body
yea
Also if I hot this right Phero's hair is meant to be wings (thus roost)
You can use this logic with really any pokemon, like Inteleon "Now it's a lizard that can whip you with it's tail AND shoot you to death"
If thats the case then well uh
Female roaches don't have very developped wings, male ones do
Femboy pheromosa lol
ohno
Pokémon aren’t real animals
also "its a waifu (this man is a weeb) but she created a black hole when i told her"
But we can still entertain the idea of femboy pokemon
tuaros is
Like male gardevoirs
ohno
It's because Mr. Mime is called Barrierd in Japan
like lopunny is kinda inspired by playboy
female person that hangs around a kindergarten
I like that Machamp can be female and it's considered normal
quality muscle
Because why would an animal need to conform to humanity's ideas of masculinity and femininity. They're just roided out monsters
I was talking more about being topless
Why is it so based on a human though
roided?
Steroids
Steroids
oh
It makes me uncomfortable to see a pokemon that is basically a buff dude be female
i feed my pokemon steriods daily
That I don't know. I kinda wished they were more lizard like
bruh
wut
Me too. This is my muddum before i started
its a pokemon
if you think their human dont play the dang game
imagine if you evolved machoke with Like PP up or some shit
It makes me uncomfortable to see humanoid mons in general
Same
then what are you doing here
What do you mean>
nais
I think it's pretty reasonable to not like animal monsters that look way too much like humans
i hope you are atheist then
Make it so you have to trade machoke with graveler. Machoke steals graveler's extra set of arms and they both evolve
The official pokemon website confirms that Machamp's boxers aren't clothes and are just skin colouration
Wh
lmao
So they're completely naked
Thats less bad
like every other pokemon?
Exactly
Clothed mons are odd
Like stuff like the ugly water lizard starter its fairly clear its just patterns
thats hair
But jynx and stuff like sawk and red sawk
They are straight up clothes
Jynx is based off a yokai, which is more of a grey area
so th ebaby is literally naked when it can have clothes?
How does that literally have to do with ANYTHING
Jynx is based off Gyaru makeup
you said you dont loike humanoid monsters
naked sawk 
Yes, and?
im out
Combined with the Yama-Uba
I don't get what you mean at all
What does humanoid monsters have anything to do with religion
except maybe the onis in japanese culture
I usually dont like mons that aren't subtle with clothes tbh
Like say uh
Cinderace
It literally has shorts
Sure its fur patterns and tuffs but
Its shorts
Machamp too has underwear on
there is humanoid monsters in like every religion ik
And a belt
i hate cinderace with a burning passion
no its the colorof its skin
See on humanoid mons it feels at least less weird bc they are humanoid regardless
Machamp's pants aren't pants
ditto does all the work alone
Idk about the belt though, but the black on machoke and machamp is just skin colouration
the belt
o h
Like Shadow’s wrist rings
I guess that means it's not part of it's body then. Where it comes from is another matter though
In the Sonic games
theres a theory that they were added on by humans or something to restrict their power
What power is underneath machamps belt 
a pp up
Iirc sawk can take off its belt too

From the official pokemon site
"It may look like Machoke and Machamp are wearing underwear, but they’re actually not wearing anything. What looks like underwear is just a pattern. After all, Pokémon don’t wear clothes to begin with, right? ‘It’s not wearing anything!"
pengaifu look at that
Why
because
I think that's just lactation
so you are triggered by female machamp but not by that?
no stop
pengu moment
Well this one at least makes sense
Female machamp doesnt
Well yeah
How do you think eggs are made? 🤨
bruh
Cramorants?
Pokemon don't have sex, they play powerpoint presentations and materialize eggs, just like Arceus
ditto can fit in all the holes 😏
some pokemon have gender sprites. Could be posible to make a more femenine Machop?
also its a child game
Not for this game
Just give it a bra 🤷
i know parrots and bats but its a child game
that
it doesnt have boobs
Why does it have to be more feminine, it's not supposed to literally be a person
you dont give a bra a female dog
It has pecs though 👀
wobbuffet has lipstick
skin color i guess
just add a sportsbra pattern on the chest
Because Wobuffet's blue is a decoy, which would make sense to have a more stereotypical gender difference
Because it made the thing itself
lWHERE BOOBS
Wobbuffet = Mimikyu?
Gettin a little too racy in here
oengu why are you so obsessed with feminising machamp
its literally a buffed dude what is the problem with it
I'm not, I literally sent one message about it
theres no problem with it, i dont see why it needs a female alt
yea
It doesnt
Machamp is perfect just the way she is
he or she
yeah
Mostly he, they do have that uneven gender ratio afterall
it maid more sense when no pokemon had gender
People have been accepting of nongender since 1991 smh legendaries don't have genders
no wait
I always interpreted Legendaries being genderless as just not knowing that much about the pokemon
Since they're rare and all
machamp has godly muscle
Things like Arceus and stuff probably are beyond gender and stuff
period
wait, you mean we dont know their gender because we are scared to study their privates?
They don't have any most of the time 🤦
Do you want to violate a Lugia's private zone? Go ahead, see what happens
Luigia
*lugia
*Luigi
Luigi Mario
nais
Luigia
Hello Mario, I’m Luigi
cursed
LUIGIa
Mario Mario and Luigi Mario
thats called its head
no pokemon has sexual organs, they spit their eggs like king Piccolo
i love you
Yeah it kills them a little every time too
Do you think a Reuniclus can just split into like, 3 Solosis
probably
yes but two are gonna be blind
Where's the rest of necrozma
LOL
But what’s the fusion?
do you not see the necrozma hands, eyes and brain
i seem to remember that it was forbidden to talk about contest submisions while the contest is still on...
Not really
Only when they go into the polls
very cool 2g ferligatr sprite if someone wants it
Ooh
you are right lol. You could campaign for your sprite untill the polls starts XD
is the true winner regardless
Yes please, do I need to give credit
its an official beta sprite so no
Oh
All the beta sprites for those generations are recreations by fans anyways though
what?
I was pretty straightforward with my statement
so its not official?
Where did you get that idea from? 😮
It basically is, those sprites are recreations made from blurry photos
oh
Not true at all, they datamined them a couple of years ago. 😂
OK, I thought that one was a recreation like many other beta sprites like the beta Johto starters
anime knuckles scares the hell out of me
idk whi that is
I mean that individual sprite could be, but there's heaps of Johto beta sprites that they got from 1997 and 1999 that are legit. 🙂
Including Wobbuffet. 🙂
And Larvitar. 😛
More beta Pokémon, including that wacky time when Aipom was a cat. 😄
Shuckle is just shuckle 😂
Even Creatures, Inc. knew not to fuckle with Shuckle when they created him. 🙂
my guess is skitty took some inspiration from that beta aipom
@quartz locust @wind topaz if you could actually keep this channel being #event-general when I'm away, that'd be great. 👀
They went with the convo like it was nothing lol
I was gonna point out that this wasn't #spriter-general but decided nah, we got 2 mods here
Let them fuck this up and make Isaac made have their fun
Isaac's asleep, post beta content in #event-general. 
Isaac invisible, post Isaac memes
Wack
Between 4 and 5 PM? 😮
Why do you sleep during daytime
I don't question your life.
being asleep at 4 pm was the norm for me until one week ago smh
I saw a video on Insta about like "me wondering why I can't fall asleep when it's already 1AM"
T..that's like the time I go to sleep normally as of lately
ha same
it is ok to convert existing sprites to gen 2 right?
ye
good
Such an innocent question with such evil intent 👀
How do I become a "Contest Participant"?
It just happend somehow
Huh', weird.
||thx||
Where are the polls?
Yeah sure
It didn't
Refresh
And stay fresh 


i had a hard time figuring out what some of these fusions were 👀 gen 2 style is not kind to some of these poor designs
its so neat to see them tho 
I love this contest simply because it gave me a reason to remake some of my favorite sprites in a new style
I hate this contest simply because it made me create new fusions but in a new and worse style
worse style
i hate you simply bc its you 🔫
other style
Ang has not made adjustments, the sprites are really far apart...
Ang is a fool
not like its a big problem tbh
i would even go that far that gen 2 has really cool poses maybe the best in the series
yeh the poses are really nice and dynamic
yeah but the shading, coloring, and black outline suck and make it look ugly
well, some details are imossiple to catch
it has its charm and sure the limitations sometimes really sucks but it does work for me most of the time
not like the details would be better to catch once they're closer to each other??
it would, as the image would be shown bigger,
because Discord shrinks anything bigger than x to a fixed width/height
wouldnt slightly altering the size give them half pixels/uneven sized pixels or what?
and the sprites themself should be at 2 times scale individually
u would be surprised how good ur monitor is at antialiasing
youre just pointing out flaws in your own software tene 👀
you and your AA
im pointing out miss useage
Worse style? just because you don't understand it doesn't make it bad working with limitations forces you to think outside of the box, it's good exercise for your creativity
Just saying, I will fiercely defend GSC style sprites 😂
It also makes good ideas look horrendous
i mean when compared to gen5 style, gen5 is better for cleaner and better readable sprites
doesnt mean that gen2 style sucks
Exactly
and crammed and complicated
||i like gen2 style more than gen3||
i kinda wanna challenge you to make some fusions in really restrictive styles now 
Duel?
thankfully i didnt suggest 24x24 then
i actually quite like gen 3 style but from lg fr
for future GSC style sprites, imo the background for the voting should be white rather than transparent. GSC sprites are specifically made to be seen at a white background and as such use techniques that look good only on a white bg, namely the outer pixels on the outline for a smoother transition. On a transparent bg they look very apparent and do the opposite of what they're supposed to
thats a really good point tbh
when you copy sprites from pokemondb, gen3+ sprites are transparent, but gen 1 and 2 have a white bg as well
I love restrictive styles, that sounds like fun 
kiwi trying to refuel her spriting motivation again 👀
I just enjoy mimicking other styles tbh, it's a lot of fun 
Wtf is that 😂
old stickman animations
make a outlineless sprite 
What is xiao
like my rock and the sprite i made of myself, that style 
yeah but I know xue hua piao piao egg man
DONE!
It looks quite like electabuzz head
It has the same shape and those strange ball things
Ditto=electabuzz?

@misty acorn
Rule 7.
I voted for it
Katten did my secret santa req gen two style 
?
Oh nevermind
Ban Pengu
First time seeing the contest sprites. Feels like the theme is greatest hits, with a bunch of people just remaking old sprites in the style.
Not a bad thing every once in a while, mind you.
Guys, you should vote for the sprite that only uses 4 colors
Which has more?
nvm. I thought you were saying there was one that didn't use 4
The truth is, they all use 5
Transparency registers as a color
If you wanted to be technical then transparency is not a colour. Neither is black and white
I had a tough time deciding what to vote for in this one, I really did. 😅
Is mayonnaise a color?
No Patrick, Mayonnaise is not a colour. 
It does slightly urk me how there is high chance of a remake winning 😅
It wasn't technically against the rules this time, I think most of the sprites are remakes too. 😢
It wasn't against the rules at all because I didn't think anyone would do it. But when I asked Isaac if we allowed alts of already done sprites, he said he thought it was fine
I thought so too. In the end they are all new sprites after all, even if based on old work
true
Just realised that none of Cheese's entries are in there. 😦
I did remind them to resubmit their stuff 👀
I don't think it should have all been taken out in the first place, just the most recent ones until 3 remained. 😅
⏲️ 🔨 
I also didn't think it would become the main focus of the contest, otherwise I'd have cracked down on it (or rather agreed with BTA when he asked if he should).
tfw my two faves are in the same bracket
Get banned please
Ehhhh, kiiiiiiiiiiindaa
i beg to differ tho
^^^^^^^^^^
I always thought it is an unwritten rule to not use a sprite that is already featured in #contest-gallery
yes yes shitty old newgrounds stickfights with guns, sword, naruto attacks and sound effects and dragon ball z moves 😔
edgy scythe weapons and red flaming auras 😔
Is the bot dead?
I think I voted but I didn't get any messages and the reactions are still there for me
🦀 bot dead 🦀
now we know your taste
Eh?
how does it work? just have to click on the reaction?
yea
They removed them themselves
@crude cedar @blazing torrent @sweet pond sorry. Bot is currently down so your votes currently can't be counted. I can ping you guys when it's back up
Oh rip
Wack ass bot
@glad chasm this⤴️
thank you
Temporarily #contest-polls will be invisible while the bot is down
It will be up so people can still look 👀
OK, I guess it’s fine since you added that message at the end
Though it’s not like people read messages in there, they just look at pictures
Also you deleted poll bot’s permissions for that chat, and I’m not sure if that will have consequences @fallen adder
No I didn't
Oh, I was looking at this chat’s permissions
Knuckles: speaks
BTA whip crack 
We need someone to keep knuckles not run wild here
I will delete you
It is back
It was for a bit at least because it dm me 7 messages at once
same
Things are working with it 35% of the time
That's Knuckles' average grade.
Whatever happened to putting the first 3 winners in the contest gallery as opposed to just first place?
the double trouble contests are done differently apparently 🤷♀️
the first one was like this too
well, wasnt that last time due to another voting system?
also i just noticed im the yin now? 
Knuckles switched them around. 
i have the edgy colors
I'll switch his roles around. 👀
give him the .
There's nothing fun to give him honestly.
make new roles
Give him the ban
You can be less if you want. 🙏
nah, u know i usually decline role related requests 
why is beige still a role but not salt and cringe? 
Was actually about to delete it. 👀
nooooo
Not beige !! 
😭 beige
If you delete it, I just have a request
Still can't believe Frogman complained about roles that change name colour for contest winners, but the arbitrary beige role is ribbit approved. 👀
"a special role for Tene"
for funsies
oh, that wasnt what u ment to say?
I just want to have the beige role minute before its deletion
Here, enjoy it.
Yay 
The death knell has been rung.
R U frcking serious u ungrateful granny?! 👀
It has until 35 past.
