event-general

[crude cedar]

Ah great

Forgot to add the feet circles to my Snorlachu

[weary pagoda]

Is this sprite yours?

[crude cedar]

Ah no i tried to rename mine but for some reason it renamed that one

Mb

[weary pagoda]

Ok ok

[wet flax]

this is from Venusaur

[weary pagoda]

I know

[thick atlas]

art theft!

[wet flax]

[weary pagoda]

Thought so yeah

Good to see it's just an accident

[crude cedar]

I submitted mine right before going to school so i forgot to mention that ,sorry

[fading lodge]

Darn you Google. Took me quite a while to figure out how to upload the sprite from my NakaMagic account and not from my personal account.

[thick atlas]

just like me

[silver merlin]

ah yes i love #spriting-discussion contest edition

[median heron]

I thought this was artwork

[fading lodge]

What contest got extended due to technical reasons? I don't see a From 1 to 251 contest.

[thick atlas]

there is only one current contest

#event-announcements message

[fading lodge]

But the announcement says that the From 1 to 251 contest got extended, but the current contest is called Retro Rumble II oh, I didn't realize it had been announced even earlier under that name.

[floral igloo]

It's mine

That's my Ferrothorn/Gyarados

[weary pagoda]

Yeah I know

[crude cedar]

So do i vote for every 4 sprites or just vote once?

[weary pagoda]

You can vote once in each bracket

Voting a second time in a same bracket will override your previous vote

[umbral gale]

so how do i use those sprite in my games

[fading lodge]

I now feel like my odds of winning are terrible. There are so many good sprites!

[uncut cradle]

Okay, what's a bracket tho? The letters or numbers?

[weary pagoda]

None of them
Each image are a bracket

Which makes a total of four

[uncut cradle]

wait

I am a fool, I did not realize that there are different voting spots

[feral maple]

When will we have the results of the brackets ?

[cedar quest]

I got it

Results are up, but I can't do brackets rn

Didn't know Skel wasn't available today

[fading lodge]

I did not stand a chance.

[weary pagoda]

Yeah sorry
Things are complicated

[crude cedar]

So does the one with the highest votes continue forward or is it like a one sprite elimination thing

[thick atlas]

the winner of each bracket goes straight to the finals

2nd and 3rd of each bracket go to the semi finals

[crude cedar]

Oh cool ,I'm third so ig i made it to semi

[thick atlas]

mazeltov

[crude cedar]

Hm?

[thick atlas]

congratulations

[crude cedar]

Ah ,thx a lot ,your feedback was really helpful

[thick atlas]

i cant remember 😅

raichu?

[crude cedar]

Snorlachu yeh

[thorn robin]

Just came here to say that all entries are awesome for this contest

Congrats everyone and good luck

[crude cedar]

I agree

[tiny trellis]

well done everyone

[compact saddle]

thank you punko

[crude cedar]

Oh btw what's a sponsored contest? YouTube has made me think of Raid shadow legends when i see the word sponsored

[weary pagoda]

It's like a regular contest, but with stricter rules, the polls work in pair instead of using brackets, and the winners earn money.

[crude cedar]

Oh that's cool, I'll definitely participate when I'm better at spriting

[thick atlas]

then make more sprites

[uncut cradle]

Honestly gets quicker and easier the more you do, I'm on my 6th one and I'm almost done within 2 iterations

Now watch me take 10-15 iterations with my next sprite lmao

[crude cedar]

Yeah true ,i definitely feel like I've gotten better compared to my first sprite , this black and white one was my fourth

[thick atlas]

and such a style change is very tricky

[crude cedar]

I found it quite the fun experience

[silver merlin]

oh right

i gotta announce a contest today

[tall moss]

make an event again

[silver merlin]

right

im going to say the magic words and an event shall summon

[weary pagoda]

"Prom gamis movus, ä ä get trollum"

[silver merlin]

does that mean with extra cheese in french

[wet flax]

[weary pagoda]

Nah

More like

"Event pretty please 😳"

[silver merlin]

https://discord.gg/vpqsTDv5?event=954784810532999188

ok now to like prepare stuff

[tall moss]

[thorn robin]

retro moment

[cedar quest]

We do a lil' judgin'

[median heron]

Collabs

[untold violet]

Judging contest let's go

[cedar quest]

No choice awards behind this judging sess this time, means I shouldn't be harsh

[median heron]

Time to collab with myself

[cedar quest]

I'll...think about it

[thick atlas]

who is that retro guy?

[sleek drum]

Hmm theme is retro

Time to put a pokemon red screenshot in the drive

[jolly escarp]

has been quit the amount of time since iv done alot, i feel like doing this contest 🙂

[tall moss]

are non-IF mons allowed? 👀

[silver merlin]

no

a little bit of suffering you all must go through

[median heron]

🪦

But wooooo judges are back

[silver merlin]

just sprite this guys

[normal dock]

Lol

[compact saddle]

[crude cedar]

Hmm i only have one idea for this retro contest ,but if i can pull it off I'm sure it's gonna be cool

[jolly escarp]

same

[compact saddle]

i see my sprote on the banner

thank

[silver merlin]

yeah that was a missclick actually

[tiny trellis]

lol

[uncut cradle]

You should put a quick sketch of something in #spriting-discussion so no one does the same

[compact saddle]

[uncut cradle]

I haven't seen anyone do a porygon/Haunter yet

[crude cedar]

Alr ,kinda hard to do that with 2 lil kids using my laptop but I'll try

[uncut cradle]

Ah

[tall moss]

finished my 3 entries

[normal dock]

Lol

[jolly escarp]

heh

[silver merlin]

lmfao

[tiny trellis]

rofl

[thorn robin]

lmao kiwi look what i was doing

[tall moss]

reverse fusion

[thorn robin]

i'm doing the reverse

[tall moss]

thats great

[uncut cradle]

Hey Kiwi, is this technically retro?

[thorn robin]

but this was just practice for smol face on big bod

[uncut cradle]

puter retro

[tall moss]

A prol

[uncut cradle]

it's supposted to be the blue screen of death message

[tall moss]

i dont decide what is and isnt retro enough tho

[cedar quest]

Interpret the theme of Retro as you will

[uncut cradle]

Oh

[median heron]

It's judged so we can say whatever we want

[cedar quest]

It's all interpretive

Except me

[median heron]

The blacks of the eyes floating slightly past the whites is awesome though

Epic detail

[cedar quest]

I can answer questions for the contest, but can't say anything about how I feel about the sprites

[uncut cradle]

Ight

[median heron]

Can we do shiny alts for this contest?
I know it was a yes for the sponsored but I have no clue if that's changed here

[crude cedar]

Then could i ask if there's a limit to how we make a fusion look? Like if it needs to look like a natural poke or not

[uncut cradle]

I mean, this is here

[cedar quest]

Elaborate a bit please

[crude cedar]

Basically if i want to make an Unown fusion where there's multiple Unowns used ,is that allowed?

[cedar quest]

Yeah, I'm still lost lmao

So like is what you're saying

[crude cedar]

Word ,I'm gonna make my sprite spell out a word out of unowns

[cedar quest]

Oh, I get it

As long as it's still a fusion, and fits on a 96x96 canvas, then sure.

[crude cedar]

Alr great to hear ,thx

[thorn robin]

that moment when the idea was better in your head

[tall moss]

bricklypuff

[thorn robin]

it was supposed to be a disco ball

[wet flax]

Slaking/Slaking

[thorn robin]

time to turn this into a pokemon

[compact saddle]

soviet mudkip meme return?

[thorn robin]

[wet flax]

perfect

[brazen pawn]

This means amazing, beautiful and smart of course

[craggy remnant]

can i enter the contest even though im not a full fledged spriter atm

[tall moss]

yes

[craggy remnant]

wait, antiques are considered retro? thats interesting 👀

[tall moss]

this is barely a fusion but

synthwave moment

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS5ZxCQZrIEWzVPhFIpoi27IVQeNTT5VoxJGg&usqp=CAU

[wet flax]

and this is a fusion of which pokémons?

[compact saddle]

i see nothing

[tiny trellis]

alolan exeggcutor and...

[tall moss]

porygon lmao

i gave it porygon eyes at first but it wasnt as Aesthetic™️

[tall moss]

perfect thank you

[silver merlin]

also is the tree your custom exeggutor lmao

[severe dust]

okay thats actually clever as hell

[tall moss]

itll be a joke alt for sure

[compact saddle]

[severe dust]

why balk

also

technically any style or fashion from the past is retro

interesting

time to do medieval monk art

[tiny trellis]

any sprite will do, as it is pixel art

[severe dust]

bw style is retro

cave paintings are retro

[compact saddle]

your mom is retro

[tiny trellis]

AYO

[tall moss]

retro is my mom?

[silver merlin]

i thought it was another story

[tall moss]

hes my mom AND the father of our sprite babies

[severe dust]

thats a messy family

[brazen pawn]

But its our family

[severe dust]

🤔
do i have to ask for permission for a pose if the artist died hundreds of years ago

[nova nebula]

yes

[severe dust]

sigh
all right then hand me my shovel

[fading lodge]

On the topic of family, since you all are my game family, any suggestions for improving my YouTube channel? Not that I ever intend to hit famous levels that many YouTubers hit, but it would be nice to be more popular.

[silver merlin]

who is it lmao

[fading lodge]

Also, should I attempt this contest too?

[silver merlin]

yes

[severe dust]

Honorius Augustinensis

[silver merlin]

ah yes

my favourite covid 19 mutation

[severe dust]

he drew this
this is retro enough right

[fading lodge]

Yes. That dude's pose is perfect. Ignore the basilisk and weasel of course.

[severe dust]

hehehe

[crude cedar]

@cedar quest sorry for pinging u again,but just to make sure again , is using 4 unowns for a fusion between unown and rotom ok?

[sleek drum]

oh no i got a good idea

but it will be a pain to do

[cedar quest]

It is, but look at the way you did it.

Look at Unown/Stunfisk, it's a Welcome Mat, but you can still clearly see that it's a Stunfisk body with Unown features. (And while technically it should be monochrome, it's still clear what the fusion is)

[wet flax]

and this is not a joke-alt?

[cedar quest]

I mean, it is, but it's not like this one doesn't show what I mean

[tall moss]

its been a long time since i was super pumped to sprite, this contest really helped

[cedar quest]

[tall moss]

i love my chinchou empire but getting to do creative stuff once in a while is nice

[uncut cradle]

Theres a glitch for me where I can see the poles for the 8 sprites that won and and are in another bracket only on my phone but not my computer

[tall moss]

ctrl+r on pc

if thats the one that hasnt updated

[uncut cradle]

Ah

[tall moss]

on mobile just close ans reopen the discord app

[uncut cradle]

Honestly a bit weird as I thought I missed some voting already

[tall moss]

yeahh discord is annoying with that

nothing we can do about it though

[outer prism]

so the retro thing is just porygon fusions?

[thorn robin]

Not really

I'm doing a smeargle

[crude cedar]

And I'm using rotom

And unown

[tall moss]

no polls today?

[cedar quest]

Here, I got it

Sorry, got caught up in working on some fakemon

[craggy remnant]

i assume i can only enter one fusion right

[tall moss]

3

[craggy remnant]

pog i might do a few diff fusions w a tied together theme

[crude cedar]

Thank you everyone who voted for me,i really appreciate it

Good luck on the finals

[craggy remnant]

trying to convince myself that yes, the fusion im planning could have rollerskates without it looking weird

[tall moss]

my first idea was a spinda fusion on rollerskates too

but no spinda allowed

[sleek drum]

i wish spinda was in IF

[silver merlin]

i wish this game had all pokemon in it, and some dude named zero making it real

wait

[compact saddle]

ask him whats his favorite pattern

[dusk schooner]

pure red spinda

[compact saddle]

[weary pagoda]

ça c'est vraiment pas très pog

[craggy remnant]

[patent lance]

lmao

[median heron]

Awesome, motivates me to destroy all evidence of the sorite ever existing

[compact saddle]

its ok im a good judge

gnose knows it

😈

(i made gnose win)

[median heron]

Now no one is in the contest save for scrip, plan enacted

[craggy remnant]

aw man vannilite and slurpuff arent in the game i gotta think of some other thing to fuse w dugtrio for my idea-

[patent lance]

[median heron]

Oh @tall moss, chart master

[sleek drum]

#sprite-charts

[median heron]

[tall moss]

anyone wants to clobber joshu?

[median heron]

please
knock me out I need sleep

[crude cedar]

I'd love to, unless collabing with more then 1 person isn't allowed

[tall moss]

you can collab with up to 3 people if you make 1 sprite with each of em 🤔

then youre alotted 3 sprites will all be collabs

[bitter prism]

Hey, can you enter an contest with older sprites you made before?

[thick atlas]

no

[bitter prism]

ok thanks

[thick atlas]

they can be about a week old iirc

[bitter prism]

well thought about entering with my porygon-Z Darkrai that I made in january, so no for me

sadly dont have enough time rn to make something new

[silver merlin]

can you send it here

i cant find it

[bitter prism]

This one

[carmine roost]

Hehe

[thorn robin]

Will the finals ever end

[weary pagoda]

Bold to assume there would be an end

(I'm not sure if I'll be home at the right hour, but I'll make them whenever I'm back)

[silver merlin]

In like 3 hours

[weary pagoda]

Actually, will you be free at this hour Katt'n?

If so, I'll let you do the work

[silver merlin]

cant i make someone else do it

Oh well

[weary pagoda]

If you're busy too, I can do them. But I don't know when.

[silver merlin]

I can dw

[weary pagoda]

Alrighty! 👌

[thorn robin]

I can do it if you want

Probably will steal some votes but i'll do it

[silver merlin]

kiwispin we

[tall moss]

how many people sre working on their retro contest entries rn btw?

[silver merlin]

Uhh

@weary pagoda we should get going lmfao

Problem is

Literally no concept or idea

[sleek drum]

i will start mine... soon... i hope

[silver merlin]

I can give some more time if you need

[tall moss]

there's 7 entries rn and 3 of those are mine

[sleek drum]

Nah

[silver merlin]

[silver merlin]

🚎

[feral maple]

I'm working on my entries rn

[thick atlas]

no idea for this theme 🤷‍♂️

[thorn robin]

I'm working on 1 lmao

But i'm too lazy to finsih it

[thick atlas]

i have 1 idea but the head pokemon isnt in IF, so meh

[tall moss]

i converted my spinda idea into a ledian one

[thick atlas]

mine is Bouffalant

[tall moss]

big afro?

[thick atlas]

yeah

[tall moss]

whimsicott 👀

jumpluff

flaaffy even

[thick atlas]

the colors wouldnt fit i guess

[thorn robin]

Lmao my idea was bouffalant/spinda for boogie boy

[tall moss]

electrode/whimsicott

[thick atlas]

i wanted to do a disco dude with balloon pants

[tall moss]

https://tenor.com/view/miror-b-gif-19660101

[thick atlas]

id be in for a collab tho, if anybody has an idea

[weary pagoda]

@silver merlin I'm back actually, so I can do the finals if you need

Also, I did have a sprite idea, but it's... conceptual

[silver merlin]

Yes

[weary pagoda]

Very well then 👌

Also, I'll try to sketch the idea, hold on

[crude cedar]

I am working on one of my entries and thinking of doing a second one too

[thick atlas]

ok, i got an idea now. any one who wants to collab?

[weary pagoda]

The finals of Part 2 are surprisingly tight 👀💦

[tall moss]

👀

[patent lance]

people that dont know will say its todoroki

[tall moss]

whomst the fuck is that

[patent lance]

boku no hero acadamia character

https://tenor.com/view/shouto-todoroki-todotraumas-todorrico-shouto-todoroki-gif-20330380

[tall moss]

[patent lance]

my fav part of the anime is when he got tall and lanky, decided to get an afro and become funky

[silver merlin]

they are very

uh

Yeah they are close

[naive summit]

Oh what

[weary pagoda]

Congratulations!

[naive summit]

I thought for sure the darkbat would win lmao that's wild

[weary pagoda]

Psst @silver merlin, we need you for da role 👀

[tiny trellis]

Conglatures the winrars!

[weary pagoda]

Honestly I think that was a deserved win. Your sprite was very creative!

[naive summit]

Not gonna lie lt was a last second idea to try out gen 2 style and enter it

Awesome entries all around though

[thick atlas]

congrats to the winners

[thorn robin]

Lmao

Super close contest

15 16 and 17 votes for the podium

[silver merlin]

Lemme boot my pc and change the role icon, and congrats Howls!!

katten on pc, time to change it

(Also i gotta say, i am actually super happy with my sprite for the gen 2/1 style contest thingy, so thats cool )

[tall moss]

your umbreon is so much more charming congrats!

who did the magcargo

i voted for that one

[median heron]

Matten I think?

[silver merlin]

Matten ye

@naive summit the role goes super well with your pfp lmfaoo
and again congratulation

though not happy with the icon lemme change again

also i gotta do a choice award

[naive summit]

Gotta love the pfp and role color aesthetic

[tall moss]

now youre up here too

[silver merlin]

wow

so up there

[naive summit]

Shmancy

[tall moss]

role icon

[naive summit]

I think I voted for the Gameboy one, it was very creative

[silver merlin]

yes i finally changed it 😎

[naive summit]

Unrelated but what are your plans after Chinchou is finished Kiwi and why isn't it Misdreavus

[tall moss]

because quagsire

derp king

https://tenor.com/view/quagsire-singing-nuo-nuoh-pokemon-gif-22234130

ill prolly help out the other teams tho

more bunearies, more togekisses and clefables

[silver merlin]

darkr-

oh ok

[tall moss]

lemme contribute

[naive summit]

Fair

Help me build team mimikyu instead

[tiny trellis]

Haha thank you. I'm surprised my dinky snail even made it to the finals

[tall moss]

ive made a whole One mimikyu

[thick atlas]

team drowzee and team wailord be like

[naive summit]

I've made a few but they're super fun ngl

Getting that hand made aspect makes for some interesting design concepts

[tall moss]

smaller sprites arent as a flashy sure, but i loved the bandages ball, really well rendered

[naive summit]

Yeah I liked the mummy snail too, the loosely wrapped ball shell was super cool! Magcargo fusions are so fun

I usually do them as the head because the lava and rock texture is fun to work with but maybe I should try some body ones

[silver merlin]

I STAN THIS TEAM

mimikyu is the best

[carmine roost]

I shall

[tall moss]

im hyped for the next contest series, would it be possible for the drive for the next contest to open up as soon as they close for the retro one? since its judged, no voting period

[silver merlin]

kiwi hyped for the next contest?

[crude cedar]

I've loved all of the contest entries and I'm just happy i got more then 1 vote

[silver merlin]

alright guys we are cancelling the next contest series due to personal thought and nothing else

[silver merlin]

yes

[naive summit]

👀

[uncut cradle]

Hows your sprite coming along?

[thick atlas]

i got another idea

[crude cedar]

Haven't really worked on it lol

[compact saddle]

gratz howls

[quartz locust]

Damn, that was a really close contest! Nicely done to Howls and the podium placers (sounds like a band), as well as everyone else. Spriting in the Gen II style is by no means easy, and you call gave it a really good go. 🙂

[tall moss]

howls and the podium placers is my favourite band

[rain stump]

howls is shiney

[thorn robin]

Yeah their hit song, gen2 style sprites, is a banger

[craggy remnant]

it was a mistake to decide to make my contest sprites from scratch but im too invested now to give up

[thick atlas]

dont give up. you can do it

[craggy remnant]

lucarios big meaty paws are my worst enemy

[thick atlas]

you know that you can post the sprite in #spriting-discussion to get feedback and help

even for contest entries

[craggy remnant]

yeah its just not at a point where you can tell what im trying to do yet

[thick atlas]

make a sketch

[craggy remnant]

i had made one but i’ll make a new one because ive changed some stuff

gonna have some breakfast then ill redraw my sketches and color em in to some degree

[royal canyon]

there should be a contest with the express intent to make disgusting fusions

[misty acorn]

So a Lopunny contest

[thick atlas]

can anybody upload my sprite for the contest to the drive? every time i click on the link google uses my standard profile. if i switch the account, im not in the right drive anymore

[tall moss]

right click the drive and share it with your other acc

then youll find it in your shared stuff

[thick atlas]

it worked! thank you

[tall moss]

np

[thick atlas]

anyone up for a last minute collab?

[feral maple]

Why not, but only if you have an idea

@crude cedar are you sur that you sprite is number 479.201 ? There is no 479 pokemons in IF actually

[crude cedar]

Google says that 479 is rotoms number

I didn't think i had to check the IF folder cuz all the other Pokemons matched what pokemondb.com said

[tall moss]

?tag pokedex

[urban knot]

All Gen1-2 Pokémon are in the game, all Pokémon that are from Gen3+ (aswell as their location and Pokédex number) can be found here:

https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Pokédex

No new Pokémon will be added. The game has reached its limit!

[thick atlas]

sorry, i took a nap

[feral maple]

I'm still here if you want to do à collab, but I think that we don't have enough time

[thick atlas]

speed run!!

[tall moss]

35 minutes

are we getting the new contest announcement then too?

yall did it omg

[tiny trellis]

amazing

[thick atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/but-wait-theres-more-gif-9594337

[weary pagoda]

I'm not sure, I don't think anything was planned anything yet. Sorry

[crude cedar]

Okay i found rotoms number but Unown isn't in this wiki

[thick atlas]

use the calculator

[tall moss]

gen 1-2 have their normal dex numbers

[thick atlas]

?tag calculator

[urban knot]

Here's Aegide's fusion calculator, which will help you see the type, stats and sprite of any given fusion in IF https://aegide.github.io/

[tall moss]

but

@silver merlin betrayal

[weary pagoda]

I didn't know

(Or forgor)

[silver merlin]

we did though

lmfoa

[weary pagoda]

I mean, yes, we have the contest planned

But no written announcements or anything

[silver merlin]

(mhm)

wha

yeah? we can like still write those now? 😂

[weary pagoda]

Yeah, but like
We haven't discussed of that contest at all in the based group chat recently, which is why I wasn't sure if it was planned for today

I feel idot now

[silver merlin]

you are not idot :skeln_pat:

you are gut

i should probably be writing something about the next contest series right now

as in right now

[crude cedar]

I'm glad i managed to finish the neon sign on time , too bad i couldn't do the Godzilla idea too,might still do it just for fun

[silver merlin]

hmm yeah i should def be doing that

[compact saddle]

apologies for not having shit done yet
been busy

[silver merlin]

no worries

just remember to do shit

[thick atlas]

we'll just start with the next contest 👀

[feral maple]

How much time to have the results @silver merlin ?

[thick atlas]

its a judged contest

katten cant answer that question

you'd have to ask scrapi, gamr and retro

[feral maple]

Ok 👍

[compact saddle]

ihave a thousand things to do on my pc and 99% of them involve katten

[silver merlin]

yes

[median heron]

i saw “please help me” for like 2s before it disapeared

message from the clouds

[silver merlin]

shh

shh

[crude cedar]

So I pretend I saw nothing

[tall moss]

people are gonna invade my archive

[silver merlin]

kiwi

[tall moss]

somehow i have a pretty good idea for what the first contest will be

[silver merlin]

that is my statement have a good day

[silver merlin]

no you dont

i changed it

[tall moss]

i got bamboozled

[silver merlin]

its now a danish beer drinking competition

anyone up for a challenge 🍻

[sleek drum]

YOOOOO CHART CONTEST LETS GOOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/cr1tikal-penguinz0-meme-woo-yeah-baby-gif-19316511

[carmine roost]

whats chart contest?

[weary pagoda]

It is a contest based off the route charts in #sprite-charts, which consist to do as much custom sprites as possible for the fusions you encounter in a specific route

Fuck I spoiled the contest theme

[silver merlin]

good job skel'n

[nova nebula]

question

whats a "wast"

[silver merlin]

listen im tired

[silver merlin]

danish way of saying
sos

[nova nebula]

ah yes, sus

[weary pagoda]

I don't think there should be a sprite limit for this contest 👀

[silver merlin]

sure lol

[weary pagoda]

The point is to do as much as we can, remove all restrictions

Nice hehe

[silver merlin]

xoto

go to skeln

i am about to fall asleep

[weary pagoda]

What's up xot'

[thick atlas]

then all contests shouldnt have limits

[silver merlin]

aaaaaaaa

please let us live for once

[weary pagoda]

Why are you always complaining

[silver merlin]

lmfao

[thick atlas]

have a nice rest katten

[thick atlas]

its not a complaint

[silver merlin]

thank you xoto

[thick atlas]

for all the other complaining: im old 🤷‍♂️

[carmine roost]

whats the grey'd out mean?

[tall moss]

[weary pagoda]

Yeah, but I mean
What's the matter of having no limits in this contest specifically? 👀
We usually restrict the amount of allowed sprites so the fastest spriters don't get an unfair advantage over the other participants, but in this one we remove the sprite limit because the point is to fill the charts entirely

[sleek drum]

[weary pagoda]

Anyway I'm definitely gonna get back to spriting for this contest

[silver merlin]

wait i take that back

kiwi is here

[tall moss]

kiwis hard drive is also dead

i will submit sprites drawn on graph paper

[thick atlas]

[sleek drum]

so i can complete another chart

[tall moss]

i shouldve picked one of the type charts

[sleek drum]

Kiwi sucks lol

[thick atlas]

what do you mean?

[sleek drum]

Best description

[silver merlin]

kiwi sucks lol

[clear comet]

Where is Mawile of the Week? >:c

[tall moss]

[clear comet]

[carmine roost]

there was grey'd out squares

on some of the pokemon

does that mean they didn't have customs yet?

[nova nebula]

nice jpegmoji

[sleek drum]

Xoto

[nova nebula]

i can feel the artifacting from here

[silver merlin]

out of the window

[sleek drum]

Xoto we don't need limited entrys with drowzee in the chart

[sleek drum]

[tall moss]

6 new drowzees to do

[sleek drum]

And hypno's

[silver merlin]

btw you can claim fusions

i think?

wait no you cant

[sleek drum]

0 buneary's

[silver merlin]

@tall moss can you

[sleek drum]

False

[silver merlin]

help me sheet god

[sleek drum]

Sprite checker

[silver merlin]

oh ri

ght

[sleek drum]

You can claim

[weary pagoda]

Claims work perfectly yeah, I just did one

[silver merlin]

same

[thick atlas]

route 35 only?

[silver merlin]

yea

[clear comet]

😭

[wind topaz]

Kiwi sucks, lol

[thick atlas]

kiwi bites

[silk bolt]

what do we have to do in that contest?

[silver merlin]

sprite

[thick atlas]

do sprites from the sheet

[silk bolt]

heu, ok

maybe

[supple epoch]

Normal, modern or both

[craggy remnant]

i accidentally didnt enter the last contest but this one i definitely wont forget to do

[thick atlas]

wdym?

[supple epoch]

Do the normal or modern charts count for the contest?

[thick atlas]

the one that is linked

[sleek drum]

hmmmmm did katten accidentaly put to only staff menbers

[frosty marsh]

N O S E C O N T E S T

[sleek drum]

skel'n speedrun any%

time: 1 hour and 22 min

[weary pagoda]

I didn't start instantly though, I think it took me precisely around one hour

I don't think I've ever been faster honestly

[steady magnet]

How do we enter the contest? Just claim the mons and make a sprite? Or do I need to do something special

[tall moss]

ye just that plop your sprite in the drive when youre done

#.# by meztli

[steady magnet]

Awesome thank you!

[wind topaz]

@silver merlin Is there a specific chart the sprites have to be from? My phone just opens the chart index when I click the link

[steady magnet]

Link leads to Route 35 for me

[thick atlas]

@wind topaz

katten said yes

[crude cedar]

My soul fired up when i saw unlimited entries

[silver merlin]

lmao

[silver merlin]

yes

route 35

oh xoto already said lol

[thick atlas]

in the sheet, what does dark grey and light red mean?

[weary pagoda]

I'm curious to know too 👀

[crude cedar]

I was under the assumption that i can use any sprite from the route 35 thing

Maybe that's not true

[silver merlin]

Its literally explained in the sheet

[thick atlas]

not for me

i only have a tool tip for light grey, X, ✅ , ?, other and pink

nothing for dark gray nor bright red

or where is it explained?

[silk bolt]

i'm gonna give this angry boy some joy and make it a sprite

[thick atlas]

@silver merlin

[silver merlin]

bright red is the same as pink

dark grey is the same as grey, i think is how it goes

[thick atlas]

why use different colors then?

[silver merlin]

🤷

[thorn robin]

why not? lmao

[weary pagoda]

Why not doesn't tell why though

I guess it was made for a scrapped purpose

[thick atlas]

🟥 🟦 🟩 🟨 ⬛ red stands for 1, blue for 2

what are the other colors for?

make a guess

[thorn robin]

green 3, yellow 4 and black 5

[thick atlas]

no

green is also 2

yellow is for 1

[wet flax]

black 0?

[thick atlas]

no 2

[wet flax]

1 2 2 1 2

[thorn robin]

that's just perfect

[thick atlas]

@tall moss can you answer?

[silver merlin]

ah

[tall moss]

dark gray is not encounterable on the route

[thick atlas]

ok

thx

[silk bolt]

Is that good?

[thick atlas]

wrong channel

for feedback post it in #spriting-discussion

[silk bolt]

okok sry

[wind topaz]

I have my sprite I'm making marked off on the chart

What's this invalid invite that's pinned?

[silver merlin]

lol idk why its invalid

[wind topaz]

All I can do is click mention and it adds a ping to you

[silver merlin]

thats not even a option lmao

[pastel fog]

A random contest idea that popped up in my head

Preevolutions/evolutions and evolutions/preevolutions sprites

Basically stuff like bulbasaur/venusaur and venusaur/ivysaur

[tall moss]

that could be great

[silver merlin]

that could be

maybe sometime

https://tenor.com/view/potentially-in-the-future-richard-parliament-top-hat-gaming-man-it-might-happen-in-the-future-its-possible-gif-21181520

[compact saddle]

[compact saddle]

lmfao

[silver merlin]

Im posting that in #event-announcements

[silver merlin]

You will eant that

[silver merlin]

Lol, i finally got to the choice award for part 2 of retro rumble, and i have given them out to some epic sprites, like three of them, i couldnt pick between them lmao and the ones i have choosen are: @weary pagoda's Staryu monster thingy, @tiny trellis melty lava boi and @tall moss's funny bat

yes thats all, ill see you all soon

[tall moss]

[thorn robin]

eyooo

epic choices

[tiny trellis]

wow thank you

[weary pagoda]

AYOOO

[crude cedar]

Okay so the pokemon that have dark grey highlight can't be used for the fusions?

[thick atlas]

i think they can

[crude cedar]

Ah ok good,i wasn't sure if there's any fusions I'm not allowed to do

[thick atlas]

its just that they dont appear on that route

everything on that sheet

even the ones where there is already a sprite

[weary pagoda]

@crude cedar I confirm that any fusions that are from the chart are allowed, even if only the ones in pink highlight can be encountered.

[wet flax]

unown-head fusion

[compact saddle]

gamr cant match spriter @ and sprite on sides 💀

[tall moss]

double half win

[cedar quest]

yes

[sleek drum]

Kiwi gaming

Congrats kiwi, scarecrow and matten

[tiny trellis]

Wow, silver medal. Thanks judges (your check will be in the mail soon ).
That ledian was probably my favorite of the bunch.

[cedar quest]

Now that judging is over...

@tall moss Was the Ledian indeed a Marilyn Monroe referrence? We're all like 80% sure it is.

[tall moss]

you overestimate how cultured i am

[compact saddle]

yours was my favorite

[tall moss]

at first i wanted to do a roller skater 50s diner barista spinda/gardevoir but spindas not allowed so i picked the next best mon that would allow me to do a cute polka dotted retro dress

[cedar quest]

I was right then

[tall moss]

marylin monroe wouldve been a blonde

[cedar quest]

Ik, but it could have been a limitation in the palette

[median heron]

Wait what

The polls were up??

oh wait

dkwgxiwhdhw im an idiot

[crude cedar]

TRUE

Woo my sprite was judged ,that was fun

Can't wait to see how I improve next time

[wind topaz]

@cedar quest Why are the 2 sprites on the left side of the winning image moving up and down a pixel every second

[thick atlas]

congrats to the winners!

[cedar quest]

I had to make that podium, misplaced that side by a pixel on a frame.

Not gonna fix it though

[thick atlas]

id say kiwis sprite is just rockabilly

our sprite was just a well dressed gentleman

[nova nebula]

theyre schmoovin

[thick atlas]

and i wanted to do a sprite which i can suggest for the "youre welcome" emote

[wind topaz]

@cedar quest you should give Matten his contest elite role

[cedar quest]

Fun Fact: Contest Managers actually can't give out roles!

If I could, there'd be a plus sign here

Or be able to through here

But nope, we simply lack those perms.

[silver merlin]

i was sleeping sorry buds

[dusk schooner]

I sorted it out just now, and the newest contest champ too

[silver merlin]

Did you change the role icon

[dusk schooner]

Nope

How does that work with multiple winners anyhow, I know you can't see it on Kiwi but still

[silver merlin]

Ill do that later today then no worries

[silver merlin]

Ill figure something out, thats uh, thats the plan

Also lets go i got third

[brazen pawn]

I thought so

[brazen pawn]

Dam xD but I still loved it

[silver merlin]

Yeah, we cant make it so you only can give one role out lmao

Also not like its a big deal

[compact saddle]

big deal: i dont have the official judge role
judging every contest where there's judges

[silver merlin]

saying that just made it 100x more likely that you will never judge a contest again

[compact saddle]

👁️

juscare

[silver merlin]

i did an enderman scream irl

[wind topaz]

Dang

[silver merlin]

Ping me if theres a role that needs to be given out

i am going to remove your contest manager role

[weary pagoda]

Well, after such a joke I think only that wouldn't be enough.

[cedar quest]

ik, was just explaining to knucks.

[tall moss]

[cedar quest]

If you look on your left, you will see

And on your right is the amazing

[spark ginkgo]

How about a contest where everyone makes the same fusion? Then at the end the winners collaborate to make a final version?

[uncut cradle]

Minus the last part and then yes

[spark ginkgo]

why not the last part?

[uncut cradle]

Weird with the collab part imo

[spark ginkgo]

hmm but one may think it was a waste to make a version of a sprite only for it not to be in the game in any capacity

at least their sprite may be used as inspiration in the final collab

[tall moss]

there was a triple starter fusion contest before, all of the non-winners became alts

[cedar quest]

Thank you for choosing WndrTrde Airlines, we hope you enjoy your destination

[tall moss]

#contest-gallery message

[spark ginkgo]

yeah, that sprite contest was great

but in the future, contests like these won't be for a very important fusion like that

so I was thinking of other incentives for participation

[median heron]

like money

But that does sound kinda neat, but the final product thing would probably get messy

[cedar quest]

^

[median heron]

Especially if theres like a triple tie somehow

Plus forcing people two collab together also sounds not so fun

But all the same fusion would be wonderful

[spark ginkgo]

If you aren't willing to collab, I don't see why you'd participate.

[uncut cradle]

[tall moss]

the contest would contain a single entry made by xoto

[uncut cradle]

most likely would

[median heron]

Not liking someone else that participates in a contest shouldnt be reason not to join, but this would cause the possibility of having to work with that someone

[uncut cradle]

Triple fusions look way too "loud" for me

[median heron]

Triple fusions give an awesome opportunity to not have to follow head/body

[uncut cradle]

But yeah all of the same fusion would be neat

[median heron]

And also it sounds hella hard

[uncut cradle]

there should be more triple fusions imo

[spark ginkgo]

I figure the top three would collab, selecting who actually makes the sprite and then incorporating features from select other sprites with permission.

So the one voted #1 may not be the one spriting the collab sprite, but part of what made their sprite good should be in the collab sprite.

[cedar quest]

Collabs are cool, but ending the contest with a collab doesn't really seem necessary, when you can instead make a contest based around collabs itself

AKA the Double Trouble series

[uncut cradle]

oh no

The idea of collabs are cool, but i feel like I dont pull my weight when doing them

Or that I carry the entire thing

[median heron]

Triple trouble
Quadruple trouble

[uncut cradle]

[median heron]

Infituple Trouble

[cedar quest]

I feel like Joshu absolutely carried our entry in the last one

[uncut cradle]

Which one>

[uncut cradle]

Ah

[median heron]

You did a ton on that one too

I did kinda get carried away with it though

[uncut cradle]

I'm wondering what the contest gym leader one is

[median heron]

I adore all the sprites that I collabed on

[uncut cradle]

Is it in the name?

[median heron]

I mean, since Modern Mode has to be redone, we can get new contests for those

[cedar quest]

Grass dithering go brrrr

[uncut cradle]

Ah

[median heron]

Beard lad

[cedar quest]

Also in case it wasn't obvious about the polls in #special-contest-polls those were indeed for something I got down the line.

Each answer to the prompt corrosponded to a different set of mons

[median heron]

Oooooo

I thought it would be the theming of something

[cedar quest]

For example, one of the prompts that lost being "Something Iconic" would have been for the starters

[median heron]

I thought it would be micky mouse and mario

I wonder what that final thing was for then

Probably nothing

[uncut cradle]

Oh yeah I got a 16/30 from the last contest with the main one I put in

[cedar quest]

The last one was a test actually

[uncut cradle]

feel good as its my first contest

Oh?

[median heron]

I shoulda done that contest but life said

[median heron]

I failed it didn't I

[cedar quest]

If the community came together, found out of a cool little easter egg I had hidden, and got the votes to line up with a number, it would have led to a bonus prompt.

[median heron]

NOOOO

I knew those were there for a reason

[cedar quest]

It just means I can re-use the easter egg for next time

[uncut cradle]

what easter egg?

[median heron]

I noticed the folder right away but thought it was just Gamr being a funny guy

[uncut cradle]

Oh that

[cedar quest]

Actually, it's not that folder Joshu, that led to an ARG that everyone missed

[median heron]

Ah

But that folder was indeed something

[uncut cradle]

fuck

I missed it

[median heron]

I'm an idiot and had no clue what to do with the code

[cedar quest]

No worries, it just means that I can work with the other Contest Managers to build a proper ARG inside a contest

[median heron]

What did you have to do with the code?

[uncut cradle]

do like the shoomish

[median heron]

Or is that still top secret

[cedar quest]

Lemme double check actually, I assume you mean the Rotom code.

[median heron]

Ye that

[cedar quest]

Because I got like 2 dif codes on my paper, so it either led you to Imgur or was the text to be descrambled by ciapher

[median heron]

Ohhhhh

[cedar quest]

All the files I had for it were on my laptop, which I'm not using atm, so I'll just retrace my steps.

[median heron]

That's sick

[cedar quest]

I had tried to figure out the tech to change an .png to a usable .txt file, but had no clue how to do it, so I left it out of this one

[median heron]

Oh this one was totally an imgur code

Fits the bill perfectly

[cedar quest]

Yeah def was

[median heron]

Darn you for taking it down

[cedar quest]

Well the contest ended along with the ARG, what reason would I need it up still?

[median heron]

I was on the brink of finding it out totally all by myself no help at all

[cedar quest]

Oh right! I remember!

The Imgur led you to a WIP of Cubone/Spiritomb telling you to go back to the beginning, I don't have that file on this PC, but it was something kinda like this

[median heron]

wait

was the code 1234

[cedar quest]

For what?

[uncut cradle]

[cedar quest]

Because I highly doubt it???

[median heron]

Ah

[cedar quest]

Oh, I get where your getting it from

[median heron]

I was thinking the start of the folders

[cedar quest]

Name#1234

[median heron]

And thus the answer for the thing would be A, B, C

And then d somehow I guess

[uncut cradle]

Is this still in use?

[median heron]

I'd bet so

[cedar quest]

Yeah

[uncut cradle]

Ight

[median heron]

Beginning

Huh

Oh

Dang I thought it would be hidden in Love More Deluxe but I couldn't find it

[cedar quest]

There was a side email you got later down the line, from digging around in the first GHT. I don't remember exactly how you got there though.

You would have emailed that a cause of death you got from figuring out the Spiritomb clue. It's not a bot though, I had checked that email manually during the ARG, and those who gave answer were sent a text doc telling the whole story of Benny.

[median heron]

Aw

Did anyone at all get to it?

[cedar quest]

To all of it, no.

But I def made this one too directionless, so that's on me

[tall moss]

we are too dum

[sleek drum]

i forgor about the contest

I will need to speedrun some entrys

[tall moss]

me too

[median heron]

Cant wait for the summer contests

[compact saddle]

i was gonna panic cause contest but i remembered its boring

[tall moss]

youre just ot creative enough to make cool stuff with these simple mons

[this is me deliberately jabbing your ego to make you wanna prove me wrong ]

[compact saddle]

i havent even checked i just automatically think boring when i see charts

ill see

yeah no all boring

[tall moss]

you could do something cool with like yanma/kadabra 🤔

or exeggcute head to make big ol yolk slime bois

[compact saddle]

im not a cool man
im a creative man
and im too tired for creativity
thus im as boring as the mons atm goodnight

[crude cedar]

Got too lazy to draw for the contest so I'll just focus my time on doing normal fusions for the sprite gallery

[supple epoch]

Where did the polls go?-

[silver merlin]

kiwi made them disappear

[supple epoch]

Magik. SNORT SNORT

[crisp oxide]

Oh yeah I totally forgot to post what I made for this

Whatever it's kinda bad anyways

[silver merlin]

noo

[median heron]

Nostrils

Nostrils everywhere

Dammit this was the perfect time for me to make a nose sprite for the contest

Pissed

[crude cedar]

Cope and seethe

[patent lance]

Ok but to be fair I've got too much school work to sprite something that takes me 3 hours so I have an excuse

When you're designing the metroplan for the schools special open visit weekend and all of the info boards

This is what I get for being top of my class?? MORE WORK???

[median heron]

hey everyone your one and only favorite contest manager is here

[weary pagoda]

Hey BTA, can I make fakemons too?

[weary pagoda]

Okay but

[median heron]

We’re real jokers

[rain stump]

[median heron]

[silver merlin]

🥝

[weary pagoda]

[stray nimbus]

So... How many submissions are we allowed for today's contest?

[tall moss]

all

[weary pagoda]

∞

I assume

[tall moss]

you specifically must make every single entry

[median heron]

You have to sprite the entire Scarlet Violet pokedex.

[stray nimbus]

Don't test me. I will do it.

[median heron]

🔫

[stray nimbus]

FINE

[median heron]

PP GOREBYSS

Polls are in 2 seconds

[stray nimbus]

NOOO I HAVE 18 MORE

[median heron]

SmoothEd wins 100 points out of ten

[tall moss]

you have 19 pp?

[stray nimbus]

Yes.

[tall moss]

[median heron]

Speedrun

[stray nimbus]

But the 18 was in reference to the entire scarlett/violet pokdex

2 down, 16 to go

[tall moss]

you madlad

[weary pagoda]

If you were Kiwi, I would say it is weird from you to say so about making 18 sprites

[stray nimbus]

thats 3
