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

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

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

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:

react to this with em thonk

"it" blends with rotom a bit and creates a mess but I don't mind anything else george

1st one is the clearest, maybe yeet the ! so you can make the IT bigger thonk

paper tangle

tried to make font slightly thicker, wish the jumpluff could be more readable but its hard to balance Despair

cobalt tendon

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

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

cold lily
#

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.

full meteor
#

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

cobalt tendon
#

But you can just read the title of the sprite pack since they're all numbered

full meteor
#

The number of the sprite pack doesn't translate to your own folder inside the Infinite Fusion folder

cobalt tendon
#

But what would adding a text file saying the sprite pack number in the sprite pack help with?

iron plank
#

then you know your current state and thus the packs you need to download to be up to date

cobalt tendon
#

But you would also know by reading the folder name, why also add a readme inside it that says sprite pack ##?

full meteor
#

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).

cobalt tendon
#

So do you mean you’re also copying the readme into your own CustomBattlers folder and not just having that in the sprite pack?

full meteor
#

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

cobalt tendon
#

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

rustic laurel
#

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 🤔

drowsy marsh
#

pretty sure people can just go to a revert hue website to do the shinies

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

rustic laurel
rocky gyro
#

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

rustic laurel
rocky gyro
#

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

#

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

strange turret
#

theres a "corrections" folder in the monthly packs already ohyes 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)

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.

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?

cobalt tendon

That's what the second sentence addresses

its not a huge issue, idc if people don't recolors their blacks

it's barely noticeable in-game. Come on 🗿

oh i didn't realzie there's a picture here. what's wrong in this? 🤔

paper tangle
#

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.

real quail

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 heehee

astral osprey
#

restrict #is-my-sprite-ready reactions only for spriters, non spriters shouldnt decide wether something is post-able or not

paper tangle
#

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

errant comet
#

but is that even possible in Discord? 🤔 why not just hide the channel from nonspriter?

strange turret
#

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 heehee

paper tangle
#

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.

strange turret
#

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 heehee everyone can have an opinion. youre free to ignore em if you dont think its valid tho mrshrug + a lot of non-spriters have a really good eye for sprite stuff (e.g. zero)

cobalt tendon
#

I think Zero is the only one

strange turret
#

and being hostile or closing off feedback avenues to less experienced people will not help that in any way hehemuth were a welcoming community yall

real quail
#

Usually I check to see who's responding with post_it and see if they have enough experience to backup that feedback. And Zero is usually good with feedback

feral bluff

It's not like you lose anything if someone puts a post_it on your wip

wanton kindle

Same

astral osprey
cold lily
# cobalt tendon I think Zero is the only one

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 heehee

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)

strange turret
#

idk if that works thonk 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

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.

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 thonk + asking people directly is cool, it opens up a dialogue

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 SmileW

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

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")

its not just 2, i have to have a list of all of them heehee 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

@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.

cobalt tendon

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

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

cobalt tendon
#

Also the bot commands that answer a lot of questions

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

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”

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.

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?

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?

toxic stirrup
#

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

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)

cobalt tendon

I'll try coming up with one in #spriter-general

cobalt tendon
#

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.

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. 🙂

errant comet
cobalt tendon

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

errant comet
#

FAQ👌

glass charm
#

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. 🙂

haughty tiger
#

I think making that a full FAQ is a great idea, especially after seeing how short the content on that channel currently is

tight jungle
tight topaz
#

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)

rocky gyro
#

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

cobalt tendon
#

But what about the random people who just come in and spam it in any chat

rocky gyro
#

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

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 whee 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 heehee), hopefully that will help reduce spam without completely preventing people from checking a sprite wherever theyre having their conversation

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 smile

@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).

Blissachu#0001
Suggestion #253

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.

Godliest#6706
Suggestion #300

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 🙂

TCGrunler#4583
Suggestion #383

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Tomate

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

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 read_pinned 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).

-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.

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:

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].

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

wormspawn
Suggestion #1346

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

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 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

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)
