petition to make this an emote
Try the emote command in the pinned message
itll be too small
well, the image would have to be croped differently
!emote
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
Looks like this is something people would want
Let's not spam the emote in this channel, please. 😅
I would like to see a contest of regional form, can be something different of fusion (idk if it's the good place to ask)
theres a pinned forms to submit contests in #event-general though i need to make a new one
Also we did that once before, so maybe it could happen again
!emote
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
Add rust as a texture example in spriting guidelines maybe? There's still a spot open on the image I think.
Allow threads in #playthrough-talk so we can focus on someone playthrough if they gonna share it continuously
Oh I didn't even notice threads were something that needed to flagged as available in a channel. Yeah that sounds like something cool to have in #playthrough-talk

Emotes need to have a clear purpose, yours more look like a cropped face than something you'd put at the end of a message
I geuss it's sorta smug but we have
to fill that
Also it’s got a bunch of stuff in the background making it look messy and the mouth isn’t very dark so it wouldn’t be visible at emote size
yall dont need to argue for/against an emote, just vote 
!emote
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
but its fun to say stuff is bad
use spritework then
Aw, I liked that discord suggestion that was deleted 
you would like it
I missed it 
what was it?
I assume they wanted everyone to have nitro for free
The wiki has the encounter tables for 4.8 and 5.0 (I'm guessing 4.9 uses the same one as 4.8?)
Maybe have them both pinned in a comment in #playthrough-talk instead of just 4.9
https://infinitefusion.fandom.com/wiki/Locations#Pokémon
Suggestion: it would be interesting to have the fusion calculator show the base stats of the two halves, perhaps in the huge black space in the middle. This would have the added benefit not just to show which head/body combination is better or worse, but also how better or worse they are in certain areas compared to the standard pokemon themselves without requiring the user to tab out to various sites of sorts like bulbapedia or serebii. It shouldn't be too complex either if (like I suspect) the calculator already has all the pokemon information stored to calculate the stats of the final fusions. I personally think adding types, abilities and weaknesses of the base pokemon would be far less useful and end up clutter the page too much.
Below is a proof of concept of how I was envisioning it:
thats not a discord issue. its something you ask @formal hazel
Apologies, it didn't sound like it'd fit in #game-suggestions , so I opted to post it here :)
oh damn, as phone user (for access internet) i disagree this 😅
But it takes a lot less data to have that displayed than to load bulbapedia and have thirteen different pop ups playing mojo anime ads only to click and scroll a couple menus before you can finally see that very same information
oh aight you got a point. Anyway, i use Desktop Mode for access bulbapdia. otherwise it's kinda hard to deal with mòjó
.
You don’t have Adblock?
Not on the phone
I have it on my phone
for newbies to easily find important links instead of being hidden in pins, like the wiki or the calculator
remove the abbility to ping the elite four roles, unless im mis-understanding something
also, why is
named : allthethings : ? it should be named something like :YOSTUPID: or : bruh : as the current : bruh : emoji should be :holdon: or something idk
Too bad,
time

also speaking of
, why isn't it named something like :NOOO: or :WHYYY:
Please stop asking about emote names, at least in this chat
ok
even with the name of emoji_69 it's not shown in the text unless you hover/tap it
maybe webs should be added to textures in #spriting-guidelines , there are a fair few spider mons (2). Maybe it should be added to the "others" part.
make
emoji also use jumpluff fusion instead of sticky note. Just a random thingy 
?
?
?
make an image as a suggestion. i think the text will be too small
If you want a Pokémon-themed one, that's what
is for. 🙂
🙃
The emote is good, but not centered on fusion sprites though
no one uses heartmail cept blaq 
wait so that is what that is?
I suggest adding an explanation on fusion hidden abilities to #fusion-faq
A pokeyman holding a huge heart would work well I think!
But well
doesn't seem warrant a replacement as it works well too
if someone can make a jumpluff one thats somewhat readable ill add it 
(featuring @rocky gyro's Jumpluff/Dratini)
(featuring @true kiln's Jumpluff/Lapras)
(featuring your very own Jumpluff/Rotom)
Best I could figure out without making a new fusion sprite entirely 
react to this with em 
"it" blends with rotom a bit and creates a mess but I don't mind anything else 
1st one is the clearest, maybe yeet the ! so you can make the IT bigger 
tried to make font slightly thicker, wish the jumpluff could be more readable but its hard to balance 
If you do end up adding another emote, please keep the original post it one also since that’s the most clear and readable
I can also try other words than just "post it" like... "ready!" or smth
honestly I think the one we have works best though
top one is the most legible
I still think a good discord server should have a level bot😏
(no)
(no)
(no)

(
minus tyet)
I've seen other people use it in varying contexts. 😅
I've only seen Blaq use it and no one else
Granted, mostly not recent, but still. 😂
💌
I don't get why you don't want to implement a level bot, it makes a competition and creates hype between members
Make the server more active, reward the most active members
It also encourages spam.
it serves literally no purpose
if you want roles that can mean anything, get onto contests
Mmh yes
now cope 
this is a server to discuss a game. Not community server in general. Level bot isn't necessary here, that's just encouraging to spam and some uneeded stuff.
cmiiw
cmiiw?
Correct Me If I'm Wrong
we don't need competition to try to get people to talk 
that sounds like a horrid idea actually
Maybe
I want this dude as an emote (:duh:)
try "!emote" command. but crop that image first
Mmmh, too lazy
!emote

dont do the job for lazy people
well then... 😅
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
You should figure out what sizes emotes can be before suggesting one
hmm 🧐
I feel like
can be used in the context that you're looking for just fine
Keep in mind, "maybe no" and "maybe yes" pretty much just mean "maybe" so it seems a little redundant
I think it could make sense to include a link to #bug-reports-newest-version when announcing a new update, so people are more aware of the channel and can mention anything they find right away.

Shitpost channel pwease
Isn't it the purpose of #discord-suggestions?
In most aspects this server is more game-centered than being a community server, so having shitpost or meme channels is very unlikely.
A tiny .txt added to the custombattler folder of each sprite pack containing only the sentence i.e. "The latest sprite pack you've downloaded is number 80" (or even just "80"), so people with IF installed on different devices can at a glance check if/how much their custom sprite folder is outdated before blindly downloading everything in bulk all over again, and then act accordingly.
The utility of specifically adding it inside the sprite folder is that it would require no additional input on the users' part to paste it into their folder, as sprite packs already work on a select all + copy, paste and overwrite all basis, which would also serve to grab and update the newly introduced "Pack version.txt" file
But you can just read the title of the sprite pack since they're all numbered
The number of the sprite pack doesn't translate to your own folder inside the Infinite Fusion folder
But what would adding a text file saying the sprite pack number in the sprite pack help with?
then you know your current state and thus the packs you need to download to be up to date
But you would also know by reading the folder name, why also add a readme inside it that says sprite pack ##?
Yeah: the idea here is that there is currently no way to know how updated/outdated your sprites are other than downloading everything again "just to be sure" or, well, knowing it because you remember (see image #1). On the other hand, a changelog file of sort allows you to just look at it and if it currently says 80 that means you're good as of August 21st (see image #2).
So do you mean you’re also copying the readme into your own CustomBattlers folder and not just having that in the sprite pack?
That's why I suggested for the readme to be put specifically inside the custom image folder, so you wouldn't need to do anything extra other than what you already do (select all, copy, paste, overwrite all) to get everything fixed
I just keep the latest sprite pack I have until a new one comes out and then delete the old one, but that could be neat to have anyways
Add a "sprite recolors" channel where people can post alternative colors to sprites someone else made, this way we can have sprites with lots of color choice
This would also allow to make shiny forms for sprites, while the artists can focus on other projects and let pixel art noobs less skilled people do the easier work 🤔
pretty sure people can just go to a revert hue website to do the shinies
Well not really because most custom sprites are modified versions and don't always have the same colors, Also revert hue will make some sprites really ugly
hmmmm good point
if you want to post such stuff publically, you have to ask the original creator's permission every time, so creating such channel would lead to an insane ammount of pings and people will get annoyed pretty fast. you can always recolor stuff for your own playthroughs without posting it, and if you really think that your recolor is worth posting publically, just ask the original creator's permission and post your work in #spriting-discussion if they allow it
I mean, every time someone would post a sprite he could just specify if he allows recolors, but okay
this just sounds very annoying to mention this every time you post something just so other people can or can't recolor your sprite, which isn't even the main focus of the spriting channel
It takes 3 seconds to add "recolors:yes/no" but okay 
these 3 seconds will stack with every new post and collect into minutes and hours of mentioning something that other people can ask you directly if they feel a big need to post your recolored sprites. this is something that other people that want to edit your work should care about, not you as the creator
Also not many people are going to be using recolors
Jesus christ, for it to even become 10 minutes of your time ever means you made overall 600 sprites
also we welcome pixel art noobs to try their hand at fusions of their own too
theres always easy fusions people can do to start 
I guarantee you the time you waste daily on random stuff isn't even remotely comparable
No need to get angry
Yeah i already realised few people will be using recolors like knucles said, but the argument of it being a chore is just... wrong?
this isnt the place to argue about stuff like that 
I apologize if i seem angry to you 🤔
where is the right place to talk about suggestions like this?
the suggestion is good for here
the arguing over how long/annoying doing a thing would be, isnt 
this doesnt answer my question 👀

Maybe it's the fact that
isn't as visible for me
also tru
Plus
looks more like pissed than angry, like a discount The Rock raising his eyebrow
lol that emote was once named "mods"
Lol, it's fitting for that kind of response. Like: "
someone's inviting all of us to this brand new twerking pics discord"
Unrelated but I just remembered posting asking about this awhile back and was wondering if it was ever gonna get added since it was basically unanimous yes 
Granted it's similar to
but I feel like it has a more celebratory vibe than Allthethings' "Oh no" / "AhhhHHH" vibe

Why does it look like his snout got chopped off and then the skin grew around the place weirdly
What are the cut offs for emote polls?
There's no hard cut off. I usually leave it for about a day. Speaking of which, I see your suggestion has more positive than negative

yay!
Now I can finally rage against modern mode
(which just to specify, is always awesome but it's hard in places)


took the liberty of adding the cool crossed arms back in since they fit perfectly in a square 

Ah, that does look better
Since when do you ALSO have powers to add emotes
Kiwi has as many powers as the rest of the staff
bot owner powers 
I believe it's actually the Spritepack Master role that gives you that stuff
Nah, obviously it’s the Chinchou completionist role that gives her godlike powers
Suggestion: Blends Spritepack Master, Chinchou Completionist, Bot Owner, Sprite Manager and Chartmaster into one super powerful role named Kiwi, or give her Moderator and Contest Manager because we can't get enough
Update the link in #announcements
He has now
kiwis a fat cat now.

We can't even refuse
Use this as wynat instead Ig 
looks like Discord remove gray outline around the image. this pict looks like an emote already 😆
usually there's a gray line around the image. But not anymore since I update my discord
Those chats depend on how many people there are who speak that language and would like a channel like that and if there’s someone who can moderate it
yeah we dont have any spanish speaking staff afaik
ok lo entiendo / OK I understand
lo siento 
I DO
no hablo espanol
I'm learning Spanish, but that puts me nowhere near a native level to be able to understand what's being said, unfortunately. 😦
I'll cash dat ouside 🤣🤣👌👌💯💯💯 🔥
Jokes aside, that sounds a little too toxic imo
"little too" hmm 🤔
we prolly should remove our toxic stickers too lmao
💀no
too late 
can i have the og files at least 
dont get why that one isnt removed, never asked for it
Well it's your face, so if you want it gone then say so
please
Done
aight
im keeping that there
nvm, doesnt seem like its a hidden chat no more lol
ill do that later

What's a hurgh 
What?
The emote above is named :hurgh6:, so I was trying to understand what it meant (is it something like "peacefully fed up with this thing"?)
We should probably move this convo to a dif channel, but tl;dr, it's name means nothing, it was just for testing purposes
Regarding the current poll in #announcements , I have one question: since I fear it's possible that introducing some extra polls in-between releases could increase the workload of sprite managers and release times (as adding extra cogs inside a process usually does), what if instead each new sprite pack included some "alts changelog" of sort, either as a readme and/or directly in the announcing post? The intended benefit in this case would be that a) it doesn't require additional interaction from the player base (read: extra steps to keep track of); b) it would be "in the face" enough that people would quickly notice that, if they're interested, there's a new Ditto/Hoothoot or whatnot to check out and choose from; c) it's highly informative, since I imagine the sprites would be referred to using the same numbers they have in the folder which means it's easy to go find them; d) it's almost entirely unobtrusive for anyone who isn't really interested into a new system, which is positive in itself because it means not bothering one portion of the player base while at the same time providing a fast and easy new option for the rest of the playerbase
theres a "corrections" folder in the monthly packs already
any alt switcheroos are already handled there. if the community votes for alts and mains, all of those would be changed and included as corrections in like, the next pack following the votes, or something (were still discussing things in staff chat tho so we'll see)
remove team Pikachu and add team Jirachi
pikachu is in the top 5, jirachi is top uh, 117 
Kiwi is right, I should sprite at least 100-200 more to consider it a team 
63 more to get in the top 10 
Wait really?
That's completely doable then
honestly yeah, pikachu is only in high spot cause its t h e pokemon mascot
!emote ayo
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
We already had a lot of drama with those types of emotes in the past, no need to do it again
you said you wanted an emote like this...
in which it would be used in sus/out of context stuff
That doesn’t really give off the same impression that those gifs of The Rock do
ok...
I want to mention that one of the images in the #spriting-guidelines half pixels example that is supposed to not have half pixels does have half pixels actually
Maybe make an announcement about the thread //kill command since I see people not use it a lot
is killing a thread the same as closing it?
it archives the thread, not closes it, and deletes the original post from spritework
This whole time I've been doing it wrong! 
it's all right, + the command is like a few days old or so
ill announce it next time we ping spriters 
@narrow swan
Hm... it seems I have received no feedback on this suggestion...
Include a section in #spriting-guidelines that explains things spriters can do to make things easier for the sprite managers. Like adding letters to your alt file names.
i added a section about the letters in the gallery pin
It needs to be put in more places 
its not a huge deal dw 🥲
how good are you at codiing discord bots? 
zero experience and extremally limited coding skills in general 🤣
Replace one of the texture examples for goo with an example specifically of Reuniclus line's (maybe even have it be the main example). None of the existing examples really help a lot with that line's texture specifically, and it's one of the most likely "gooey" textured mons to be sprited.
Don't they just kind of not have any texture though, with a little shine? Their goo is entirely unshaded. 😅

Add a pin with the list of items available as prizes in the Triple Battle Lounge (or maybe an in-game sign inside the building, but that'd be more of a #game-suggestions )
There is already a google form for you to suggest contest themes
oh
There aren’t really leaders of the teams as far as I can tell
team could vote for a leader
tbh I think Tomate is the Leader of Clefable
I don’t think they need leaders either, what would a leader even do
they don't but they can still use Team Chats
the chats wouldnt be anything but more exclusive spriter generals 
Why would there be a team chat anyways, the teams are just making sprites of a certain Pokémon, nothing else
yeah okay
can a mod move the #dex-entries-submissions to Artwork Category for easier access like they did for fusion-bot
@formal hazel screenshot to save time
also perhaps when it doesnt have a sprite just have it say "This sprite doesn't exist yet"
"abc/def in:gallery" isn't very time consuming imo
In #dex-entries-submissions , the polls should include the fusion's head and body pokemon, so we know which is supposed to be which
they mean say the name of the fusion. Not just image. not all of us can translate the dex number. Luckily recent poll is bulbasaur(1)
added the names for the last batch
will add names going forward too
@strange turret can you we get "context" when we vote for the alts in a evolution line.
Like the other fusions of that fused evolution line (especially if they have no alts).
checking the evo line for every single alt would take a super long time
if someone else wants to do that work and flag the relevant evo lines (in #sprite-errors-old lets say) ill delete the polls and redo em with the added context
Thanks, that's a great improvement! Sometimes sprite options have mistakes like using the body pokemon's color palette, which are easier to spot when the head and body are clearly listed.
Should we have a section in #spriting-guidelines about not using multiple shades of indistinguishable black for outlines? People often don't recolor the black outlines, and it turns out the head and body Pokemon use slightly different shades of black
why tho?
That's what the second sentence addresses
its not a huge issue, idc if people don't recolors their blacks
some other spriters care 
Usually it's just Knuckles tho 
Because I'm the only one with eagle eyes
it's barely noticeable in-game. Come on 🗿
oh i didn't realzie there's a picture here. what's wrong in this? 🤔
Technically having 80+ near identical shades is also barely noticeable in game but doesn't really make it okay.
Personally I'm indifferent to this topic though, but I know there's some spriters that care. I don't think a tiny section in an already very long guideline will change a lot though.
I don't think it will hurt either. Just have it say make sure the blacks are the same shade or you'll get yelled at by Knuckles 
Animated Sticker: Jitter
and a brain, apparently
!emote

They already said they’re not adding a Duskull flag until it reaches a certain percent
but now they have the Image ready
duskull is 1 spot away fromm top 10 lol
I think a bit darker for the white lines looks a bit better since they then don't stand out as much
why do you hate me today? 
heres your darker white
it's knuck knuck, he's always trigger by barely noticeable shade
Kinda what?
restrict #is-my-sprite-ready reactions only for spriters, non spriters shouldnt decide wether something is post-able or not
I was going to suggest that ngl
I usually wait already anyways for actual spriters to respond anyways because they're more likely to notice if something is off vs the random person who clicks post-it on everything they see
but is that even possible in Discord? 🤔 why not just hide the channel from nonspriter?
the sprite's spriter is the ones deciding if they post their sprites or not, #is-my-sprite-ready is just for second opinions if theyre not sure, but the spriter themselves are the one with the final say
non-spriters are allowed to give their opinion thru reacts 
I mean, fair, but most spriters actually want feedback on whether it's ready or not to help them decide. And most would likely prefer feedback from other spriters who are able to notice if something is off or could be fixed first.
spritework-questions shouldnt be an elitist club where only the worthy may weigh in, if non-spriters think your sprite is cool and should be on the game, let them
everyone can have an opinion. youre free to ignore em if you dont think its valid tho
+ a lot of non-spriters have a really good eye for sprite stuff (e.g. zero)
I think Zero is the only one
and being hostile or closing off feedback avenues to less experienced people will not help that in any way
were a welcoming community yall
thas't you
Usually I check to see who's responding with
and see if they have enough experience to backup that feedback. And Zero is usually good with feedback
It's not like you lose anything if someone puts a
on your wip
I also check who it is
Same
lose my patience with these white names
Zero is the only one who's talkative about this, but I'm pretty sure anyone can at least tell when a sprite has jagged outlines or if a fusion isn't recognisable. If it does, they don't react.
Not being a spriter doesn't mean they have 0 knowledge in art either, removing the perms would only make the spritework process more tedious than it is.
I mean y'all shouldn't see non-spriters as blind people who only care about the amount of pixels a sprite has 
i never said spritework
we were only talking about #is-my-sprite-ready
I know?
I know for certain you're wrong here
We probably didn't share the same experience then 
Ping spriters on the first post of a new batch of alts in #shy-channel rather than the last. Reason being that scrolling down to a finite goalpost (the end, where you cannot scroll further) is easier than doing the same up to an arbitrary goalpost that may or may not be loaded fast enough to be seen (discord loading times are wack)
idk if that works
id have to ping people while the channel is private?
I had never noticed the channel was made private during the posting of polls
When I get pinged for sprite voting and go to the channel, it starts at the first sprite of the new batch since they're new unread messages
same
Give a role people can select that advertises the use of editing your sprites to make better ones, or to take parts of your sprites. That way people don't have to ask that person if they have that role.
You mean like "requests open"?
Same concept, but different purpose
With how many roles are taking the top spaces on the server list now, idk if people would even really see that, and I mean, I don't think people, especially newbies, are gonna be checking out people's roles themselves all the time anyway
i dont think enough people are out there editing sprites to warrant it either
+ asking people directly is cool, it opens up a dialogue
It's also a good habit to have, asking permissions
but asking people is something introverts hate XD
arent we all introverts here?
Yes
when i first joined i didnt wanna interact with people at all 
cuz its kind of a shitshow
I see #spriter-general started well and kept improving upon itself 
Wait this isn't spriter general 
Always has been 
Used to be worse, honestly
ya, now there are less pedos
It seems all the bots are dead today
None of the past few messages have been suggestions. 
So delete them
(Are you suggesting to delete these messages?
)
That’s what mods were doing before, deleting messages in here that were irrelevant
I still think this message should be changed to say "the Pokemon included from gen 3+" or something instead of "all" since that implies every Pokemon is in
I still think the pokedex page should include all the gen 1-2 mons as well because it's fucking annoying to have to pull up a national dex list on top of the custom dex list to name files 
Well, you could just use the calculator since it shows the numbers of the fusion
But it does make sense to include the gen 1-2
Yes but it'd also just be easier overall for people who want to know what mons are in the game to have an actual full list there instead of mentally having to go "okay so x, y, and z are in... oh right this is gen 2 as well..." etc
literally I would edit it if I have permission lmfao its not that hard to include
i just search for the pokemon in the sprite gallery and yoink the number from the newest sprite there lol
i use the fusion calc to check numbers
A spanish channel
to quote knuckles here
Those chats depend on how many people there are who speak that language and would like a channel like that and if there’s someone who can moderate it
and there is no spanish speaking mod here (yet)
suggestion: mod a spanish speaker 
no hablo espanol-
you're already a mod 
that means "i dont speak spanish" 
I know 
not really lmao
I do
saran : bahasa Indonesia/j 
A role that gets pinged anytime an update happens in #announcements
I'm doing this, but moderating a channel of fluent speakers when I can only really say "Where is the library?" might prove a challenge. 😂
Lmao
Meme chat

No, and it's been rejected multiple times
It is a useless message though
A useless message is an unseen message
#spriter-general , check the description 🗿
What about an assets channel where spriters can put assets for others to use, like if you need a specific thing and it's being hard to sprite, you could get it from the assets channel
I was thinking more like custom assets, like the ERROR sign that was made for Porygon/Porygon
There used to be a pinned drive with stuff like that in #spriting-discussion, maybe they made it a folder in the sprite pack instead
people can upload assets and stuff to the gallery too, along with relevant info (e.g. "porygon error window asset, ask to use/free to use for xyz")
some mod should probably make a message about the Elite Four role requirements and pin it in #hall-of-fame
Oh, there was an announcement of them all listed but that's not pinned or anything so yeah, it might be easier to find that way
Can we get a ?tag explaining that all sprites display in-game with a row/column of halfpixels? since people keep bringing it up thinking it's a problem with the sprites themselves lmao
?tag ingame, there you go
ingame, in-game, ingamesprites, and in-gamesprites all work 
All sprites appear to have half-pixels in-game due to how the game itself is upscaled, this is normal. Please check the sprites directly in CustomBattlers before reporting half-pixels.

Should we have some sort of commonly asked questions document? I see someone ask how to get a dusk stone like every day for example
i could set up some alcremie autresponses
ill need detailed info tho cuz im never in chat channels
useless 🤦🏼 new people will always ask it anyway, like "why is my game no loaded?"
: "hi! v5 takes a long time to load, chill"
alcremie shall constantly spam #general because of keyword triggers 
Maybe add a tag instead? Someone asks, someone else tags
so YAGPDB.xyz isn't triggered in #discord-suggestions (obviously, lol) nice
test torkoal
Shall we give the first person to present a shiny in IF a special role?
but a general "shiny hunter" role could be fun though 👀 for people who can show they have x shinies or more
But will that include cumulative shiny count over every playthrough?
if yes oakwood would probably have it in a month 
day* 
i've already encountered them so
Maybe edit #downloads to say the modern mode patch is not needed for v 5.0.33 and up
a #bot-commands channel so people looking through ?tags or looking for dex numbers have somewhere to use the commands without feeling random or spammy
add triple fusion to YAG dex command. Since we can't see them in calculator
the reactions say it all
the mod who adds can choose which one to add (:chadzard:)

maybe roles for specific contest win counts? not a totally serious suggestion as its not necessary, but it'd be a cool flex i guess 
no, do you not remember ||the mammuth fiasco ||

Change this bot message to mention the earliest point you can get each stone, because a lot of them you can obtain much earlier than what the bot says
Water stone = cerulean city using cut
Thunder stone = talking to the last npc to the first part of route 9
Sun stone = talking to an npc in vermillion city
Moon stone = mt moon square at night
Shiny stone = talking to an NPC near pokecenter in saffron city after liberating silph co
The fire, dusk and dawn stones are the only ones you can obtain earliest from what the bot says (that I know of anyway)
thank you
added this
Where water stone
in other channels 
It might be a good is to have a faq channel to view before you join the server, similar to rules
Questions like the black screen issue, celadon puzzle, evo differences, fused evos, etc.
A command to see the abilities of a fusion, for anyone lazy enough to not switch tab (especially on mobile)
There’s already a command to see the stats and typings, so just add the abilities to that command or something
YAG message about "how to get bike for free"
Hey <username>, you can get a bike for free. Talk to Fan Club Chairman in a Fan Club House at west of Vermilion City. He will give you a voucher. Claim that voucher at the bike shop in Cerulean City.
tell me the answer, ill add it 
You can get a bike voucher from the Pokémon fan club in Vermilion
^
thats a little harder to implement cuz yanmega commands have a 10k character limit, adding all the ability data would go over that
But just listing 2 abilities isn’t very much more
its not just 2, i have to have a list of all of them
e.g. here this giant block tells yanmega that pokemon #1 is type grass/poison, etc, so later when you tell it to give you the statblock of bulbasaur it can go look up that block up and see what types to take into account for the fusion type calcs
the list that would be "1" "overgrow/clorophyll" "2" "overgrow/clorophyll" etc would be more than 10k characters
i can work around the limit but its a pain in the ass so
not now
make an emote for scrapi like mammuths
(scrapi deserves it)
damn 
Yanmega seems very painful
it is but thats bc its way more flexible than other discord bots without requiring a whole ass custom one
its the perfect level of headache for someone who can just barely write code like me 
What would it be just all the duskull skulls they’ve done?
That and much more
idk if my epickest sprite is a duskull
if it is pls dont pick one with a base from someone else 

@ contest manager do a poll to decide best scrapi sprite 
i was asked to add this specifically for #fusions 
remove it 
peeps were spamming
oh, i just see lots of people use the fusion command there lol (even with the message)
ez just ban them 
as far as im concerned i think its fine if they use it once or twice there, just not like, 30 
alr
just disable the command on #fusions
i still wanna let people use it, just not excessively
🗿🗿🗿
option 1: arceus thundurus
option 2: salamence swampert
option 3: salamence swampert
(they dont know which one is the remake)

Well, clearly no one reads what yanmega says and do not avoid spam in #fusions , so just make the bot ping them when they say it, will hopefully grab their attention
Can we just disable the sprite command in #fusions, people still continue to spam it even when pinged and told not to do that
done 
Why do people ignore that message jeez
Damn 
I don't even know there's a message after Yanmega post a pict
would love for the bot command dex to allow for / delimited pokemon names, e.g. dex crobat/heracross so I don't have to do two commands every time I'm looking up a fusion image name
Maybe show both their individual numbers and the ingame dex number of the fusion
Anything along that line would be good for me, helps with discord rate limits too woo
That would be awesome
done 
dex stunfusk/bellsprout edit: i cant spell 
I don't think that's in IF. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Did you misspell something?
dex stunfisk/bellsprout
Stunfisk/Bellsprout's IF Pokédex number is 29400! It's sprite would be named 420.69!
woo thank
Maybe have a sprite command that shows triple fusions? Similar to the normal one
So like it could be called showtriple articuno/zapdos/moltres for example
Or showtriple birds
yis, soon™️
kiwi lowkey carrying this discord
True
Have a bot that appreciates kiwi’s good work
?tag kiwi
Yet
@strange turret the sprite manager, can you make the bot tell people the celadon sewers puzzle isnt a bug. i think it would be helpful since alot of people are coming in and think its bugged.
Also maybe use this
change the bot command to show screenshots of the other way to get into secret forest which is through route 16. this is because you can access it as soon as you get to celadon while the route 2 entrance is only accessed once you beat erika, so its pretty inconvenient and misleads people
so basically its best to just not mention the route 2 entrance at all
gimmie screenshots and write me the text and ill change it 
we need an emote of this happy boy
AllTheOhYes
I'm not 100% certain it would work with the custom request command here, but there appears to be a way to edit a channel's permissions to allow Slash commands without allowing other messages to be sent. May be worth testing if that's an option for #sprite-requests ?
- dyno doesnt have slash command support for custom commands and 2. slash command perms arent implemented very well at all

Rip
Perhaps update the bot commands of evolving trade evos by saying you can also use a linking cord which is obtained from hotels quests
I’m sorry for making you do more things for the bot kiwi
Also add the “go to #ask-a-bot “ message to the triple fusion command when people use it outside of the channel
linking cord?
Wasn't sure which channel would be best for this but Yanmega is giving outdated info for the pickaxe 
if someone would give me the updated info thatd be great 
You get it from this green Pokeball in the area behind the hotel in Vermillion City
Anytime someone requests a bellosom sprite in bot-commands the lavender bell puzzle solution is triggered, might be a good idea to change that
that monstrosity look like the definition of the thing that gives you anxiety.
Yes
wait what? hmm how to bellosom, ah yes, different channel
A channel page with maps of every route, building and cave so people who can play but the overworld generation doesn’t load in right can use the maps to see where they are going
What are you talking about? "but the overworld generation doesn’t load in right"?
i think in-game map already have this. You can get map from Blue's mom/sister (i forgot who 🤪)
I don’t mean a full region map, I mean a map of the route that you are in
oh. Actually they're easy memorizable
⬇️
Well if your issue is that you're having glitches that don't let you see the overworld properly, you should try to figure out what's causing that
Don’t you think I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR HELP?!?!?!
No matter how many times I download the game, the overworld never loads properly
That’s why I made the suggestion to add a overview of every route on discord for those who can’t fix that STUPID PROBLEM THAT SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING!
GO TO #tech-support PROBABLY PEOPLE THERE can helps
Please stop talking about this here, these aren't suggestions anymore
An idea I came up with after bashing my head into a wall repeatedly for how stupid my tech problem that I got help with(not sure at this time of the problem is fixed or not cause I’m not gonna deal with it until the morning) is another tech support channel that is more like a Q&A of most asked questions or how to get the game to work
For example one question could be “the game won’t load” or “the overworld view won’t load because I opened it with my winrar app or other app that opens the .rvz” and the answer could be “you have to extract the files from the .rvz and use your pc’s folders to open the game” or whatever the correct answer is
I mean a second tech support
One that answers the basic most asked questions and no one can talk in it other than the admins who puts the most asked questions there with their answers
Kinda like this one from the Pokémon Winter Version fangame rom discord server, but with questions like the one I put above
basically #fusion-faq but more useful, or at least including more actual frequently-asked questions
A lot of questions people ask are in #fusion-faq , but nobody reads it
Sorry to tell you this, people already don’t read that chat to find the answers, they still just come into the normal chats and ask how fusion evolutions work
And there are some pinned comments in #tech-support that nobody reads
can confirm, nobody on the internet reads
Exactly! Like the tech support questions put there that are the most asked ones like “I can’t get the game to run” or “the game is running but all I can see is blackness and NPCs”
can we get the bot to explain the Missing game.ini error to people
Sometimes I wonder if having a channel named "help the game is just a blackscreen!" would help. Just to take the load off the other problem channels
I agree
There’s a bot that responds to those messages
this new people don't even read #fusion-faq and ask "can fusion evo?" "how the stats work?" and literally everything in said channel. Adding moar channel helps nothing
id even say its already too many channels
there should be a message the bot says about the Missing game.ini error and how you should put the file named full onto the desktop
if someonw can give me the full explanation text ill add it
aright, I'll give it a shot
Select the file named Infinitefusion-(enter the current version we are at here)-full.zip grab and procide to drag it to the desktop. Once you done that look into that folder and find the application with the pokeball and wait until the application is completely ready. If you follow the instructions you won't run into any problems.
change bot message from asking haunter evo, it still has linking cord in the text
What’s wrong with that?
linking cord doesnt exist anymore no?
But that was just added in the latest update
oh sorry then, i thought it was an old item and not a new one my bad :-)
It’s from Legends Arceus
didnt play
Me neither
i thought it's from pokémon insurgence
No of course not
get the bot to explain how to fix the "missing Game.ini" to people whe ask how do i fix game.ini
hell I've got the explanation right here "Select the file named Infinite fusion-(enter the current version we are at here)-full.zip grab and proceed to drag it to the desktop. Once you done that look into that folder and find the game.exe and wait until the application is completely ready. If you follow the instructions you won't run into any problems."
not sure if should be here but:
update wiki/bot as the spring/golbat boots info is incorrect on the wiki
so the problem is just that people dont know how to extract zips?? bruh
no thats not it
people dont know that they need to move the folder to the desktop
people are dumb, just make a short video showing the process so they can follow along
that's a great ide
no idea what youre talking about, my copy of IF has never been anywhere near my desktop 
same.
search Game.ini in the search bar and what the fix was.
look how many damn times that's been asked and who answered them.
My game folder is in my documents and works fine
why? that's for talking about fusion, not about the game. Same as in #playthrough-talk. Blaak screen isn't active there (iirc) since ppl who talk there surely can load the game
Same. Mine's sat in a the "infinitefusion_5.0.36.2-full" folder in my downloads. 😂
Hey <playername!> are Ghost in Pokémon tower not letting you pass? Go to Celadon and talk to Erika as your Rival told you!
@strange turret a suggestion for Yanmega. I have an idea how to trigger it 🤔 "how pass tower"?
Just been in Tech Support dealing with "Missing .dll" issues - it could maybe be helpful to have a bot point to a stickied post that tells people the game.exe file needs to be in the folder with all the game files, and that you need to make sure you download the full game and not just the patch?
The exe file extracts to the same file as the rest of the contents by default
Ban Yanmega in #sprite-charts to stop the spam of sprites, none of which are related to the charts. 😅
And some people move that exe by mistake instead of creating a shortcut
I dont kbow where to put this suggestion, but I feel like on the fusion calculator it would be beneficial to include the fused pokemon's original base stats. That way you can see and compare the new base stat lines vs the old ones
You mean of each individual Pokemon?
Like if you had an Ampharos/Slowbro fusion for example, up near the search bar when you hit "Fuse" the bst of Ampharos and the bst of Slowbro pop up.
This way, its easier to see how the fusion combines and improves on a certain mon's stat line
There's a bot that creates VCs for people as they are needed. Maybe that'd be worth looking into
a spritework classic channel for anyone who preferred the way spritework was before threads
that would make a lot of our sprite manager tasks impossible (double checking whether sprites were put through spritework first before the gallery, harvesting the unposted sprites for the no QA folder, etc)
Also the current system was voted on, I'm unsure if many people want to see the previous one back
I used to say the old one was better, but I do like the threads better now, even if they still have many issues (though some of those can be solved by people posting in #is-my-sprite-ready to get more people to see the sprite after a while has passed instead of straight to gallery after the single person in their thread said they liked it)
A description for #sprite-errors-old
Oh you’re right, that channel doesn’t have a description
It would explain why lots of off topic discussion happens
Nobody reads channel descriptions though
see, but now we can complain with validity
Yeah, it should still have a description
Hey @strange turret ! Are you looking for Amulet Coin? You get the Amulet Coin from the scientist in any hotel if you've completed any 5 quests!
(suggestion to add "how to get amulet")
If you're gonna suggest such menial items like that, that's going to be an insanely long list
it already is an insanely long list 
could be bigger tbh
exp all and amulet coin specific commands have been added 
Locations page/encounters pastebin commands similar to ?tag pokedex? Have noticed a lot of people asking for encounter data/item locations, and have had to pull the pastebin/locations manually from wiki
That is being worked on by Kiwi
god bless
might wanna add stuff to the bot message for duskstone
current: Hey xxx! Are you looking for a Dusk Stone? You can buy them in Celadon once you have 6 badges in v4, and in Goldenrod in v5!
new: Hey xxx! Are you looking for a Dusk Stone? You can buy them in Celadon once you have 6 badges in v4, and in Goldenrod in v5! You can get there with the Train Pass after completing the first Legendary bird quest!
next question: What legendary?
/j

"where to find the legendary bird quest"
"Where to find pokecenter" soon
Adjust the Moltres trigger to say Mt Ember instead of Cinnabar Volcano? Just realized it's a bit misleading.
A response that shows the location for the volcano would be nice, I've seen that question several times today
"Rename your game folder to something without symbols or numbers and move the folder to another location, like your desktop" in response to the error in this image.
(where/how/when) (get/find) (spiritomb)
Once you get the Keystone item from Lavender Town (i think?) you can fill up its Charge by killing Ghost Pokemon. You can check the remainder needed when using the Item! Once you're down to Zero, using the Item will make you encounter Spiritomb!
Theres a well in Johto which will reduce the amount needed by xxx! (dunno how many)
Could you walk me through it
they just did
Yeah but I'm just very confused as it won't let me rename the folder
Thanks so much it works now
But #spriter-general is where memes are posted usually
Idk where to put response bugs but dratini triggers the error help
probably because of "ini"
I'd say use #bug-reports-newest-version
no its my bot command thata bugged, not the game 
should be fixed now
Ah I see
hey i was wondering can we add a support discord channel? and maybe get someone whos very clear and speaks well to make a step by step youtube video on how to download things and everything you will need to play/download?
bc im extremely slow and need that step by step if possible and everything i would need to play a game like this
maybe add "meme belongs in #spriter-general " in #media channel? 
but it's weird tho, why does meme belong in SPRITER channel?
its the only channel where people have proper conversation, noob-faq-general is too crowded with yanmega spam now 
Spriter general used to only be usable by spriters, we just never changed the name since no one could think of a better name
Also memes are fine in #media too I would say, it's not like anyone talks in there much
now I'm confused 
welp ok
Anyways, talk in #spriter-general if you want to keep asking about it
Make the bot reply with where to get linking cords when people ask where to get link cords or link cables too, as people say those names often since those are what the actual real life products were called
idk what's link(ing) cords anyway 
They were what you needed to connect GameBoy systems to do multiplayer
oh i don't own gameboy. thx for the knowledge 🗿
can you stop chit chatting in here please? try to just contribute suggestions or discuss other peoples suggestions instead of taking the conversation to unrelated topics like this
excuse me? here's my sugg
yes that kinda stuff is fine
We need a command about the Sudowoodo blocking the way, I'm not sure exactly what the bot should say so suggestions are appreciated
Hey @strange turret ! Are you gonna wake the sudowoodo at the route 36? You can only wake it up from the west or left side, which can be accessed from ecruteak!
(is the route correct @cobalt tendon ?)
Still needs work
I'll try coming up with one in #spriter-general
Hey @cobalt tendon! Are you trying to get past the Sudowoodo on route 36? You'll need the Squirtbottle from Ecruteak City to get it to budge. You can reach Ecruteak by going south of Goldenrod and up and around the whole Johto region. If the path through Ilex Forest is blocked by trees and a man with a Scyther, that means you're not supposed to be here yet. The rest of Johto is part of the postgame, so you still need to beat the Pokemon League and become champion before he will move.

For the big sprite guide, I use Krita as program. It has a built-in pixel pen too, and it's free to use. 😊
why are ya posting this here
Dunno, just felt like it was missing from the list in the guide.
guess that makes sence.
For the dusk stone message can you move the mention of Goldenrod in V5 first since most players will have that version instead
Since most people are selective readers they'll see "You can find them in Celadon" and then stop reading, go to Celadon and then not find it, then ask again and get the same message
How lazy
not my fault people are lazy
Some people ignore bots completely
I still remember someone asking "how to get surf" three times in a row ignoring Yanmega's messages with pictures
Add the fact that Mew makes a different sound when entering Viridian River to the bot response
not to forget yanmega "showsprite" warning outside bot channel

funny emote 
Pronouns roles, since it's not rare to people to be misgendered here
Can't you just change your nickname if you care about that stuff?
Couldn’t hurt, tho I do think that the majority of people don’t look at roles regularly
Unless if the roles changed your color or an icon nobody will really take the time to check everybody’s pronouns
And people will always read your name to reply to you
people will use "he" or "they" anyway 🥴
but i agree with Gdei's sugg
How about channels for teams?
No
Oh.
maybe we should either unpin this from #fusions or change it for Aegide's calc since it does the same thing but faster and without requiring using a Google sheet?
Also more accurate it seems, funny how that used to be the opposite case
also, it seems like I won 
Indeed. What do we call him
maybe just "moyai" unless someone has a funny pun idea
Proboai
I like Proboai. "Moyai" would end up as "Moyai-2"
I guess Moyai is what the emote uses since that makes the pronunciation more clear than Moai




Saw a few people recommend having a channel that has a bunch of the common problem solutions in it, like the "missing game.ini", "rgss stuck", because for some reason newer people in the server refuse to read yanmega or check any of the "problems" channels. not sure if that would actually help though, for the same reasons.
Really, #fusion-faq could just be reworked into a general FAQ. 🙂
who the heck read #fusion-faq without being asked 🤣
We would at least be able to just say "read #fusion-faq" instead of typing out the same long sentence every 5 seconds when people ask the same questions
👌
Exactly, but right now we don't have a full FAQ. We could just make that channel a full FAQ with different headers like how #spriting-guidelines is set out. 🙂
I think making that a full FAQ is a great idea, especially after seeing how short the content on that channel currently is

If the faq gets updated, I'd recommend the more common issues that come in tech support to be added there (the unzip 'ini' error, black screen clicked too early, basically any of the bugs that have a bot command on them atm)
Maybe also copy some of the stuff from the wiki faq (MacOS setup, can you play on a phone, save file location)
What do you think about this? 😄 @rotund kettle
also dont forget the "celadon city sewer bridge is misaligned" thing
and all the openGL on win10 problems too 
I think it's a good idea
i know. i was saying to put that in the FAQ
The bot doesn’t let you ask how to find Deino
It's not finished yet
Or any Pokemon that's not gen 1 since it's still being worked on
I'm not sure what Pokémon you're asking for, did you misspell something?
And #spriter-general, if it hasn't already been. 😅
And every channel except #ask-a-bot
And here... Apparently
It somewhat makes sense to have it active in #fusions and #voice-chat-text
Just checked and it works in here too, yeah it should be turned off here. 😦
It got turned off in #fusions a while ago
I'd say it's ok to have it in #spriting-discussion to have a quick access to other sprites (for example to check if any particular fusions have custom sprites) and dex numbers inside the threads, as they're like your personal work space
But what about the random people who just come in and spam it in any chat
Just tell them to stop if they start doing that for no reason? Spritework itself has a timer, and if someone uses this command in this channel, they'll be awared. And if they start doing this in someone else's threads, they're also free to ask them or mods to stop this
hwosabout a yanmega trigger for mankey paw loop?
yanmega failing to react properly? haven't seen this before, wanted to make sure it was noted somewhere.
it doesnt react properly to all caps 
ah, okie dokes then
i added a cooldown to showsprite, now it wont work if its used too quickly (2 mins) in the same channel and will instead redirect people to bot-commands
but peeps can still use it sparingly to just show off a sprite sporadically in any channel (with a few exceptions, like #hall-of-fame and the bug report channels
), hopefully that will help reduce spam without completely preventing people from checking a sprite wherever theyre having their conversation
Make it so it will ping them 20 times if they try again before waiting
ill make it ping you
@you
Maybe a channel for people to submit their 3 sprites for spriter role? So all sprite managers can dip in and just assign instead of it being DMS
Context, originally I submitted 3 sprites to a sprite manager and they never even responded. I had to send them to a different one to get the role a day later
Could we link https://aegide.github.io/ in #fusion-faq with a text that explains what it does? Or maybe a command for it
Rn the only way I know to find the link is checking #ask-a-bot for it
?tag calc brings up the calculator in other chats
Oh ok
When judging sprites for the role, we often talk with people tete-a-tete in a private space, either about their sprites, the role, discussing any questions, etc. Making a channel for this would completely kill this opportunity and the privacy or just end up in the DMs anyway. And for us personally it's easier to keep track of new spriters in DMs rather than in a general channel.
I don't know your situation as you never DMd me but you probably got ignored because right now Discord implemented a new system where you request people to talk with you, and while you see these requests right away on a PC version of Discord, you need to manually leave your channels and go to DMs to see the requests on a mobile version, which sucks. I hope Discord fixes this soon. So if you don't get answered in a day or longer, just ask another manager to give you the role 
I think it would be good to add color roles and maybe member role so nicks of server memebers look better

I'm kinda surprised we haven't got an "Español' channel in the international section of the server
Pretty sure there isn't one because no mods know Spanish, so they wouldn't be able to moderate it
Welp, gotta become a mod and moderate it. /s
There used to be one a while ago, but it was even less active than the Portuguese one
add a québecois channel
theres 3 of us, we need to be able to talk franglais
Oh, makes sense tho
Sorry for My ignorance, but what's the difference between that and french?
Criss de bonne idée 
slang/expressions/accents so different that france french peeps can barely understand us 
Oh, XD
Then replace #français by #ancien-français so quebecois people cannot understand us either 
I can potentially moderate a russian channel but there's like 3 to 5 russian speaking folks including me or so
(at least the ones I know)
I could always learn russian for this channel to be if needed!
Make learning Russian mandatory for becoming a spriter
think this could be great material for an emote, if it isn't already valid enough as is
:thewhat:

dont worry i can moderate a #scandinavian channel 😎
(for me and the other 2 people from Scandinavia
We need this for those who fire off a barrage of barely understandable questions 
An equally non-understandable emote?
with an incredibly flat and uncaring gaze, yes
idk where to question this 🤔
i see sometimes Yanmega showsprite command doesn't show the sprite. Is that normal?
it has an intentional 2 minute cooldown
oh ok
Is there a way to get a bot to delete messages in #spriting-discussion that don't have images so people can't talk in the main channel?
Add a simple comment as the most recent message in #spriting-guidelines linking to the first message in the channel so people can easily just click that to go to the top and start reading rather than having to scroll a bunch to get started
Just something basic like this
dunno if ive suggested it already , but maybe move bot-commands under #spriter-general , since were not alowwed to Dex ect in there. I would make posting to the gallery slightly more convenient.
Can't you use dex command in your spritework thread? I thought you can
@strange turret i think "where to find ice pick/gas mask/plant key" should also trigger the "how to find articuno/moltres/zapdos" message. Just my opinion
I think it’s still a wip
And I think he’s trying to get Aegide to implement it into the main calculator?
A silly sugg : Use Bulbasaur/Stunfisk sprite as pokédex Completionist role icon. because 1.420
Bellsprout/Stunfisk 😏
Hey, @strange turret! Do you want to unfuse pokémon you receive from a trade? You should make it forget its OT and think you're its OT by going to a school in Violet City (postgame)! You need 50k to do it.
^Suggestion for "can unfuse traded pokémon"
Should we have a tag to bring up a link to the walkthrough?
Or maybe pin it
The start already is pinned
It's not, I checked before posting that
I mean the very top isnt but the second headline is and if you click on it it shows you the top anyway, so it effectively does the same thing
But pinning the top for consistency is good
Should this picture (or a crop of this picture) be brought up in the new bot tag that brings up the walkthrough?
Can we make the bot respond to people asking "How to level up/grind levels fast"? Think it would be easy to have yanmega tell them that most trainers can be rematched with no cooldown, since they don't want to read that from the one kid on route 22
Repeating this because scrolling through dozens of paragraphs to get to the top sucks, pls consider
I don't know if Kiwi can still write in this channel
Doesn't have to be Kiwi specifically to do so lol, just anyone who could make a basic comment link to the top would be convenient for spriters.
The first pinned message brings you to the top, does it not?
the pins work yeah, just figured a recent "here's a convenient link to the top" message as the most recent would be more visible to new spriters since lmao nobody reads pins these days
Nobody reads anything
yea theres literally automated responses from the bot and people just ignore them
make a spriting-guidelines video
and force people to watch it to get the spriter role
Give them a written test at the end and if they fail, they have to wait a week to try again 
Make spriters to go to spriting school and pass spriting exams to get the role
And spriting exams to maintain it too 
2020 nostalgia, spriting online school 
(despite my scholl still use online thingy somedays in week)
It'd be nice if the 🐑 sprites were removed from #sprite-gallery (if they haven't already), and having people not post screenshots of them since they violate rule 2
Only the booba ones though
And also muk/gardevoir and other ones that break rule 2
It'd be cool if yanmega was able to answer questions about Modern Mode (Maybe adding a disclaimer before the comand) Like for example: "MODERN where i can find Gastrodon"
I think there should be an explanation of shinies in #fusion-faq
bringing #ask-a-bot up right above chat channel so people remember it exists
BC is very active, wdym?
I believe there are currently plans to expand the FAQ to be much more broad. 🙂
#playthrough-talk constantly has people using bot commands
nobody read #fusion-faq except being told
They use them in every channel anyway even when the commands explicitly said to not, moving the channel wouldn't solve the problem. 😅
i feel like it would at least curb it a little, being how you literally cant miss it anymore
most bot commands are made to be triggered in those normal chats (where to find x, etc) with natural sentences so humans dont have to answer those questions manually all the time since thats just where people go for that kinda info regardless of whether theyre looking for a bot response or a human one
where to find human?
Hey @nocturne sparrow! Are you looking for a human? You can find them outside!
Slow down, there's an outside now? 😮
Thanks. Now I know to avoid the outside
glad to help 👍
Could we also maybe have a role on the server for people who finish the mt.silver post-game, since I know a lot of people don't bother? Could have the icon be a sprite of red
what is this?
successfully got a normal yanmega response instead of it's slam poetry
do you not like its version of the pokérap 
i dunno, i just felt like it was a bit rushed. coulda used some better flow
It's totally offtopic but the other day i saw a guy on Youtube that Made a working pokerap with the pokemons till gen 8
It was nine minutes long
~~This isn't the place for asking questions tho Foxhie
~~
Yanmega doesn't have Cresselia's "no more poke's" response for some reason
“Add Cresselia to the game”
yanmega doesn't respond to moré pokémon, ig. or is that new thing?
It has always done that
Just noticed that in #fusion-faq the pokedex link directs to the wrong page because the link has a regular e instead of an é
I'd like to be able to create threads in #artwork so I can tell people how cool their art is without clogging the channel with text.
In my experience people love to be clogged with words of praising 💡
have the fusion bot @ ya if its not accepted
It does do that in certain cases
ah, thats understandable
Make Yanmega or fusion bot react with
or
when someone doesn't request something correctly in #sprite-requests
Both
@strange turret Yanmega advice for player sprite editing is out of date. The trainer card and pokeball throw are now in "Graphics/Trainers" and are named "POKEMONTRAINER_Red" and "POKEMONTRAINER_Leaf" based on character genders. The pokeball throw is also in "Graphics/Trainers" and has the same name change, just with "_Back" added. The "VS" Popup in Transitions is also changed, now being "VS_POKEMONTRAINER_Red", with a similar name for Leaf. It should also mention that the duplicate "Player" folder in "Graphics/Characters" should be removed while editing the sprites, to prevent confusion (as otherwise searching for the sprites in Characters will bring up those duplicates).
bruh who tf is leaf?
dont ask here 
Yanmega says you can find Snorlax on route 24, when it should be Route 23
think that may be too big...
I don't think it needs to say pog, it can just be the head
yea i like that idea
Yeah
i wonder if the dunsparce one is interchangeable with the "My time has come" thing
What are you talking about?
The dunsparce is the "Chill Pog"
whenever the someone requests one of the Triple fusions the said fusion should have a spoiler thing on it so that ya can't be spoiled to it
Hey @strange turret ! Are you looking for the Black Market? It can be found in the Celadon Café (which is to the right of the hotel) during the night!
Suggestion for Black Market hint
I thought there already was a bot response for that
Yeah, I checked in #ask-a-bot after saying that
Remove these bot reactions from #spriting-discussion
Suggestion: please either remove the mention of metal coat and the likes items from yanmega (since they're not needed for evolution) or add an automated response for where to find them, because new users can't stop spamming "where to find magmarizer/electrizer/metal coat" and none of us have a single clue about that 
they have illiteracy. Yanmega says both method and using item at the last 
"Suggestion: fix illiteracy of new users" sounds dumb and unhelpful though 
remove the message about V4 from the stone messages since no one really uses V4 anymore
I say this so no one can complain
Also this will fix literacy issues
Please add rating fusions 0-10
why?
This will be a fun option
i feel like it might be too discouraging for spriters when there was a rating
Add "train a Machamp, Seaking, or Wailmer" to the Yanmega messages about where to find Strength, Waterfall and Dive respectively 
we really need a tag for the walkthrough link instead of constantly repeating that it's pinned in #playthrough-talk 
?tag walkthrough
Here's the full walkthrough of the game! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TPNmJhpHhekCH6v3JWTdgWup67qZgOg2bquJjTbDpHY/edit?usp=sharing
Sticker idea :
If someone posts a full Gardevoir team in #hall-of-fame they are banned
Or full lopunny team
Kinda late ma guy
have people do a tutorial of how to make a request.
pinned in #sprite-requests , also there's yanmega msg for that
no. like the have to do a trial to start requesting becaue lots of people refuse to read
that's skill issue 🗿
right @haughty tiger ?
that becomes an issue for spriters
if they fail to read or pay attention to all the stuff in #sprite-requests , and also don't ask how to do it, or somehow ask in a way that doesn't trigger yanmega, that still is super rapidly noticed by sprite team, pinged, and removed. seems like super unnecessary work for kiwi and everyone else
have you looked in the request channel today?
if people dont read the pin the wont look at a tutorial either
that's just excluding people for being ignorant, which is a horribly slippery slope, and a massive way to cause community upset over incredibly minor issues.
✌️ back in my day ✌️ i just use wiki or FAQ for questions. ppl nowadays rely on @undone igloo and @haughty tiger 
I brainfarted and thought this was a suggestion to add an in-game trial quest for people to learn about the discord feature 
A technical suport role
thats a great idea!
Yanmega doesn't mention the waterfall replacement item on route 10
That does exist
dyno being weird for some reason japota is also banned
I’m shmb skrrg
Some of the words censored by automod are a little overly cautious, it's something we're working on addressing. 🙂
Thank you
Maybe have the bot tell people to goto #spriting-guidelines when they ask what software to use for spriting? That question comes up a lot
yanmega is jokester now???

a "scoreboard" of sorts that displays how many requests people have completed 😄 maybe with roles as rewards for reaching certain milestones?
Hi, I've done some research that I think could be handy for people to know, I dont know who to reach out to so I figured i'd try you, I've been testing ingame with debug mode (Since I completed the dex) But i've been checking how EV's and IV's work on fused pokemon and what not, and figured people might want to know this, so idk if it could be added to the bot or something when people ask for it on the discord.
How IV's work
When you fuse 2 pokemon, the game will check which pokemon has the highest values of both the pokemon and it will combine those
in example if a squirtle has the following IV's 20 10 23 27 31 4 and a Celebi has the Following IV's 21 9 24 28 8 21 the game will check both those
pokemon and then choose the final IV result on the fused pokemon being 21 10 24 28 31 21 since it chose the highest values from each pokemon
If you then decide to unfuse the pokemon, the body part will keep all the iv's whilst the head pokemon will get it's IV's randomized. You can
use this to your advantage and keep fusing then unfusing to farm a perfect 6 IV pokemon since it will never take lower values.
Discord Server role for completing requested sprites. I feel like it would encourage spriters to complete more requested sprites for those who want certain fusions for their playthroughs. The roles could be given at whatever interval (25 requested sprites completes, 50 requested sprites completed, etc). I think this would also help people pick specific spriters when requesting a sprite. Seeing that they have x amount of sprites completed would maybe make them start choosing certain people rather than leaving it open and having nobody use it 🙂
A separate category/tag in the #spriting-guidelines for Sizing/Placement. It's mentioned multiple times in the guide, but it'd be convenient to tag since custom sprites are so frequently oversized. I don't want to pester people about their sprite sizes all the time, but I think it's at least as important to consistency between sprites as something like dithering or anti-aliasing. It's also something important to get right early to avoid a tedious clean-up, so I think it's worth spotlighting. Might also be handy to give people a heads up about the sprite cropping done to the player's Pokemon in this section.
add definitions (in guidelines or as tags) for Kaiju effect, Visual effects and overshading. I have alredy written something that spriter managers could check and verify
Heavily advertise feedback giver in #spriting-guidelines , along with expanding the size of the "proper feedback" section in the guidelines. If we can, maybe spice up the chat too? It's not extremely engaging which probably doesn't help with it not being read.
Creating translated versions of #spriting-guidelines . We have a number of people who's first language isn't english, and with more people joining and wanting to become spriters, having the guidelines in other languages will help make it more acecssable.
we should give some more resources on special effects and textures, such as tutorials on how to do them. All we really have is the spriting guidelines showing some FX and the grace of someone in spritework giving a demonstration
add a section in id:guide containing a guide to the servers bots, useful commands, where the bots can be used, how to use them (espessially fusion bot since it doesnt use a typicall command
add a section to #spriting-guidelines about transparency
An equivalent to Team threads for prospective Pokémon
I think it’d be nice to have a place to share concepts/sprites that folks have made, and it could also help folks see what these mons have to offer for IF. I also think it’s a good way to gauge interest and potential for prospective mons outside of the poll
Also, if there’s a Pokémon that’s polling really well, but no spriters are actually making fusions w/ it than maybe it isn’t as good of an option as it might seem at first glance. The opposite is also true
For instance, I remember someone earlier saying that Bruxish has the most sprites of all potential mons, so even tho it isn’t polling well it might still be worth considering
add a section about flipped text alts in #spriting-guidelines because any sprite that uses text will be flipped when the player uses it (take #1148414980845211788 message as an example)
It might be nice to have channels/threads for the various pixel art software (ex: piskel, aesprite, ect) so users can get tech support and share tips and tricks. Even a general “sprite software tech support” might be nice so users have a place to talk about how they get the most out of their software.
maybe you should have a guide for ghostly things in spriting guidlines (gastly, cofagrigus, etc)
Add a way for the requester to mark a sprite request completed rather than only the spriter being able to do it. Sometimes the spriter forgets and it'd be a simpler solution to just mark it complete yourself than bug the spriter to do it.
split #event-announcements into 2 seperate channels, one for the big server contests and one for things like the smaller community hosted events and POTW
make it so you can only win the pokemon of the week raffle once so others get a chance
There is room to expand on the feedback area. Spritework should also have a pinned resource specifically for feedback resources dedicated to teaching people what constructive criticism is and how to give it. This is to encourage people to give quality statements, polite, and artistically actionable. I've seen a lot of threads that end with people getting discouraged, pissed off or confused and giving up in their artwork as a direct result of whoever happened to be their first feedbacker. With a little guidance, the community can come across as much friendlier, encouraging and generally be more pleasant to post sprites to.
Make feedbackpls work in concept arts, or make a new feedback role for concept feedback, and possibly have another way to manage buried threads like zigzagoons for sprites (this last part is kinda like a different suggestion though)
Move #spriting-guidelines to Important Stuff so that newcomers can find it more easilyCurrently it's buried in Channels & Roles unless they know to 'show all channels' and locate it from there. This move would hypothetically reduce the number of questions in all chat channels and amount of rejected spriter apps. Spriters could 'favorite' the channel for easy access if the new location would be too confusing (offshoot of a discussion from #1254117445640130622
)
Bring back the spriter general lounge please. Normal spriter general is overrun with too many people and too much "spam" in the form of people constantly posting status updates about their playthroughs and stuff like that. Which is all fine, but the lounge with its slow mode did very much fill a niche that is now just completely unaccounted for (It was the only channel I was still checking in to be honest) (Also why was it even removed in the first place?)
In the lounge you could still have some focused discussions where the chat wasn't being filled with 100 messages every minute, which also made it possible to go off topic from pokemon and IF for a while without new users popping in and stuff forcing the topic back to the standard stuff, if that makes sense. So yeah, would be very nice to have it back, anyway, Tomate out 
Create a tag on transparency so Spriters can find the permission to use transparency in easily-accessible writing. Many Spriters mistakenly believe that transparency is forbidden in sprites.
add a feedback guidelines channel for what makes good constructive feedback
a tag explaining iOS transparency, ios discord automatically makes any image below 360x360 not transparent which ofc is a problem for 288x288 sprites. a lot of new spriters ask why their sprite isn't transparent even when saved correctly and 80 percent of the time it's iOS shenanigans, so having a quick tag explaining this and the solutions would be nice (that being to either send it via the browser app, the files app, or a different device)
Make the spriter role vs great spriter role have more distinctive hues! I want to show off and not have to put my fave to the screen to notice 
With Character Customisation being a feature now (while still in beta / planned), maybe a character or trainer outfit request channel? As not to bloat sprite requests with both Pokemon and characters customisation. Could also rename the current sprite request channel to Pokemon sprite requests for easier separation
A tag for Indexed Mode, it seems in #1134483288703119361 we need to mention it quite a bit to new spriters, and it sometimes gets into more experienced spriters too, so to not repeat saying the same thing over and over, a tag for it would be of use, maybe something like:
"Indexed mode is a color mode that uses a particular palette in a sprite, differentiating from RGB color mode which you could take colors from any sprite, Indexed Mode messes with the bot so it shows the sprite has 0 similarities, which would lead them to go unnoticed.
the most common time it happens is when a new spriter uses paint.net, to fix it, save your sprites in the menu in the picture, and from auto-detect, change to 32-bits."
Images could be better, I just can't take a clean screenshot from my pc for some reason.
Make some kind of PSA or announcement that gallery posts are not meant to have multiple images in the same message and that it's not recommended. I say this because I think it's getting more and more common and it can lead to sprites not making it to the game
make it so that the bot doesn't delete your message if you have something like ''custom palette'' in your post in #assets-gallery because palettes aren't linked with new custom bases
update the link in this Spriting guideline #spriting-guidelines message , as the current one sends you to github, when it could just send you to FusionDex or have the image in it, right?
Increase the request limit of 3 weeks to 4. I feel like the 3 weeks can be a bit tight for people with jobs and such, and it just disincentives spriters from taking requests, which doesn't make much sense
Pin an explanation in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/661644682194976778 on why some HOF pics are flagged as randomized when the game was not randomized. This is a very common confusion, and it would take less space to be able to just react
instead of having someone writing out the answer again.
Add a channel for trainer customization requests and change the current one to Pokémon Sprite requests. This is so that people who want more clothing options available don’t get their requests buried under all the requests for specific fusions
In light of the recent issues regarding sprite deletion policy and the related staff/spriters, I think it'd be for the best to modify either general communication or the spriter agreement to contain mentions of the extent and nature of the deletion process, because it's clearly troublesome to expect people to accept hundreds of sprites, that translates to hundreds of hours of work (in the most extreme cases, small amounts are valid too) might stay in the game indefinitely against their wishes over technical or interpersonal concerns that aren't clarified. Something like "Consider that requests denied for repeated misbehaviour/excessive workload might result in a large amount of sprites staying in-game until further notice". It'd save us all a looot of trouble.
Just like how winning a custom sprite contest, make it so that winning a dex entry contest makes that entry the server banner as a reward.
This is to encourage people to make more entries
Dex entries got promoted recently but I think sprite salvage should too , it's barely known but everything that the zizags don't post get harvested and it's up to the sprite salavager to fix them (it's based on volunteering).
Replace the placeholder image from the "pokemon style" section of the spriting guidelines
With dex entries and custom outfits getting their own channels, I think it makes sense to make a dedicated channel for https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1110687947004583946
-suggest Make zigzagoon harvesting be opt-in instead of opt-out. This solves the screenshotted issue in a way that is theoretically more robust than say, having a manually-edited list of users who left the server but shouldn't be harvested from or something.
Make zigzagoon harvesting be opt-in instead of opt-out. This solves the screenshotted issue in a way that is theoretically more robust than say, having a manually-edited list of users who left the server but shouldn't be harvested from or something.
Bot tags that summon links to the SFX and Texture example drives
I think it would be nice if assets for specific pokemon/lines (for example Myst's 'How To Sandshrew' image) that are currently in #1051343819314053160 were in #assets-gallery instead or as well. You'd then have:
- 'I want to learn general spriting': check #1051343819314053160
- 'I want to sprite a specific pokemon': check #assets-gallery
This would also eliminate the need to search both channels when starting a sprite
It's quite possible I'm misunderstanding the channels or using them wrong so feel free to correct me
Can we add another item to the #game-suggestions FAQ blurb that specifically discourages any changes to randomized mode? It seems like a larger and larger portion of players want all these changes to randomized that simply aren't realistic and there's currently no details anywhere touching on that. Even directing them elsewhere first or having specific parameters I think would help a LOT.
I think it is high time we have a dedicated FAQ channel in the problems section. The current FAQ is a bit dated and restricted to one post which really hasn't updated much. With a dedicated channel, each FAQ can have its own message link we can send people, and it would allow any with a Staff role to input a new FAQ of stuff that has been confirmed [ex: Nuzlocke Mode won't be added since there are so many variations of rules].
Only give spriters access to the gallery tag in Spritework threads
Require that concept art made by drawing on top of custom bases made by other member of the server have credits in the posts, same as sprites.
I don't personally care that much about being credited in concept art specifically, but I've been seen a few instances of those concepts being completely redrawn as if from scratch as if the pose and rest of the body didn't come from anywhere else except from the concept artist drawing, which can occasionally lead to worst sprites or more likely for the source credit for the base being never given when the sprite is created since the spriter will probably not look up where the art was traced from
Bring back the automated messages sent to your personal inbox by a bot when you accept a request (with the request information) as well as the 1 week reminder message (that would tell you that you only had one more week to complete the request, to encourage completing the requests in a timely manner and avoid forgetting you have it for the rest of the month)
make it so that if someone asks where to find a move, or the tm for a move, the bot responds with the "You can find the location of any Item on the Wiki!" message. Since the bot responds when asking where to find HMs, I figure it should at least say something for TMs
add a small "how to make good suggestions" guide to the pinned posts on the game and dicord suggestions channels. I know people don't always read all the way down in there, but it could help get at least a little higher number of useful suggestions.
Some of the tips could include (but don't have to be limited to):
-making suggestions that are precise and actionable (don't just say to add "options" or that you don't like something, say what you would add or how the problem could be fixed)
-checking to make sure the suggested feature doesn't already exists
-checking to make sure the suggested feature isn't listed in the FAQ as something we aren't doing ever
-making one suggestion per post so people know what they are voting on
since triple fusions don't currently have custom dex entries, what if we held dex entry contests where the winners get to create custom dex entries for the triple fusions
Create a tag to explain where to find fusions without customs. Spriting-discussion has had someone come in and ask this question several times over the past week or whatnot.
The description would link to the calcs, explain that fusiondex allows you to filter results by "autogen only", describe the two-month delay, bring up the sprite-gallery, and point out the impractical logistics of making a list of all unsprited fusions.
Make the bot send a message on #sprite-gallery when it does the cut for the month, that would help spriters know if they can still remove sprites and update then or if they’ll need to wait for them to be in the game to make update
i didnt post this in the wrong sug chat, dont let them lie to you
anyway, since a lot of people are posting collages of art in #1263858526829416539, maybe a new tag named "Collage" or something could be good : )
just thought of this but like a tag called nuzlocke where it says something along the lines of we will never have a nuzlocke mode in game and there are no community rules for any nuzlocke variation as it is a self emposed challenge and we dont want to force people to play with rules they dont agree with
Please put somewhere in #sprite-requests that the format for speaking of fusions is Head/Body. I have seen many requests where the description for the request does not match the title of the request.
Change the label on the ?keybinds image from Use Key Items to Use Key Items/Quick Actions
Like the Spriter Request but for Concept Artists. A system to make it easier for Spriters to potentially request concept art from a particular Concept Artist so the request doesn't get lost to either server messages or dms.
Please add a section on perspective for sprites to #spriting-guidelines . The need is most seen when people are redrawing TCG art or a Pokemon punching or kicking towards us. A lot of times the zoomed out battle perspective is not properly taken into account alongside the party/canvas perspective because people are referencing one-shot artwork with different standards for depth. Currently, there is nothing in the guidelines to fall back on for this. Here are some threads elaborating: #1283205434169098260 message #1275761942706913331 message #1265467014559043646 message #1280647430177685645 message #1364653739616632945 message #1288831930397364268 message #1288831930397364268 message
please remove the deletion filters for assets gallery, every single time I have to completely redo a post because I forgot the words ''custom base''. Unlike the old request channel it also doesn't dm you back the message that got deleted, it is really frustrating
Add a second level of the Spritedex Completionist role for anyone who manages to make a both a head and body sprite for every mon in the game.
Update the hatransfer tag to include information pertaining to wild Fused Pokemon, regarding the fact that if unfused, they won't keep their HA [assuming this is accurate, I am uncertain]
Edit the text on the software suggestion part of the spriting guidelines on Piskel to mention it's limitations (maybe say "but it is lacking some common features" or "but it can't resize and rotate sprite elements which makes it less suitable for splicing existing bases together" if you want to put more details into the description)
Right now it's position at the very top of the list and insistence that it's the perfect beginner friendly software with no caveat means that a lot of new spriters with no prior experience use it as their first choice and get told soon afterward that it can't do some basic things that they want to do by more experienced spriter after they give feedback and suggestion for "easy" ways to improve a sprite that are much more difficult in piskel than they would be in other software because of said missing features, which can be frustrating.
A simple short warning in the text would help new spriters make better software choices (they can still use it if they want the most simple software and they don't mind the missing features if they are aware of it)
I think we should also get a frequently asked question list in this channel. While it doesn’t happen often we do get some
I think we should get a pin message in either sprite-gallery or dex-entries-discussion that explain you can also post dex entries for your spriter, while the announcement in spriter-announcements is pretty new , when it starts to get burried by other message people won't know about this feature
