We've had a Gen II contest before. Clearly it's fine for them to not be specifically for the game. ๐

Contest subjects will never specifically exclude things that could be used in game (the gen 2 style one was an exception because it was a cool idea, but we'd never have like, an Archeops classic), but you can submit things that can't be used in game, so long as they follow the rules and they don't specify otherwise.

What're you looking for anyway?
leaden cradle
Why would I scroll into the previous contest to find announcements about the current one?
outer prism
Veegee, have you found what you were looking for?
leaden cradle
Yes.
outer prism
Good. Shut up then.
burnt bane
Probably with very clear instructions like its not where you think it is
leaden cradle
Why am I the only one who has to shut up here?
outer prism
Cause Stan's trying to understand why you're making an issue. And I'm just not having it in general.
The solution has been found. There's no issue. Shush and move on.
leaden cradle
Stan's the one making an issue of my misunderstanding, I'm just defending myself.
outer prism
Yes, and then the defending would go on until neither of you remember the topic.

Let's all sit down and have a nice fondant fancy. ๐
What do you mean we're all out of fondant fancies? They're my favourite. ๐ข
Let's go to another eatery that has fondant fancies in. ๐

I don't even know if this is meant to be a cube of fondant or a poor, semi-constructed fondant fancy. ๐ฆ
wind topaz
I just searched fondant cube to find an image to make the meme if I recall correctly
quartz locust
Oh then it's not a fondant fancy, as they for some reason have no fondant. Your meme is bad and you should feel bad. 
wind topaz
Why would a fondant fancy without the fancy be a fondant fancy? The point is itโs just fondant now
No decorations or cake or whatever
quartz locust
Your meme is bad and you should feel bad.

Oh cool, my top two from the old semis were in the same bracket, now they're separated.

Because nobody but Blaq calls them fondant fancies. They're French Fancies.

Off-brand knock-offs just go by fondant fancy to avoid copyright.

You don't call all Oreos "milky cronches" just because you know a knock-off brand of them at your dodgy supermarket called Milky Cronches.

That's why I suggested a balloon contest, because I think Wailmer is currently the least-sprited Pokรฉmon. Drifloon doesn't have too many sprites either so there's options there. ๐

Foxes are not canine.

That's why I put them as their own round. There aren't that many dogs and I wanted to avoid Lucario because it probably has loads of sprites. ๐
Also, foxes are canine.

vulpine.

They literally have their own classification.

The first link says canines are also called canids, but yes I know that foxes are vulpine. They're close enough though. ๐

The first link's wrong according to the reading I've done since you posted it.

Wolves are lupines but Rockruff evolves into a wolf (at least for the Midnight form). ๐
