today's session with knux went well! we both got through rock tunnel, which may very well be our least favorite part of the game. here's the newcomers we got after playing mad scientist:

[image descriptions:

there are 7 images, each displaying a pokemon fusion.

1. a vaporeon/parasect fusion with a beige coloration, with a quadrupedal design featuring large mushrooms layered on its back. it is named vaporsect, and is genderless.

2. a sableye/dragonite fusion with a silver, blue and red coloration. it has a dragonite's body and features sparkles on its belly and wings, gems for eyes, and a big gem in its hands. it is named sablnite, and is genderless.

3. a jirachi/dragonite fusion with a white, purple and orange coloration. it has dragonite's body and jirachi's crest, and looks to be wrapped in regal fabrics. it is named jinite, and is genderless.

4. a reshiram/smeargle fusion with a white, red and blue color scheme. it has smeargle's body and reshiram's features, including a more elaborate hat, wings, and a flaming tail. its name is reshigle and it is male.

5. a togetic/vaporeon fusion with a white, black, gray, magenta and green color scheme. it is white with black and gray fins, with its ear fins specifically being magenta and green. it has a very cute, simple face with closed eyes and a kitty mouth, and sports wings and togetic's classic triangle markings. its name is togeon and it is male.

6. a mimikyu/umbreon fusion that has umbreon's body and mimikyu's face, and sports a pink and black color palette. it has shadowy arms lifting strings connected to its body, as if it's some kind of puppet. its name is mimireon and it is male.

7. a mareep/umbreon fusion that has umbreon's body and mareep's wool, ears, and tail. it is red, black, and two shades of blue- one neon (for the orbs and ear + tail accents), and one pastel (for the wool). it looks very gentle. its name is mareon, and it is male. ]

lots of eeveelutions as usual, but a good range of colors and some fun legendary combos! hoping to get more dragonites in the future, though.

ok so...us and knux did a session yesterday, this time with rin (me!) at the wheel. after realizing that xavier had made five million spiders i found myself with very few usable pokemon of my own- there were the teddiursa + quilava/typhlosions meant for me, and a mimikyu or two (that i realized were more sawyer's thing), but aside from a jolteon/flygon, there wasn't really anything screaming "me" that i could shove in a party and actually use.

so. i got to fusing

the following party results from both a pre-session fusion scramble and post-session nonsense, the latter of which was Very exciting because oh boy did this session, while short, turn up some excellent gets.

[image descriptions:

there are 6 images, all of pokemon fusions.

1. an image of a raikou/mimikyu with a pastel yellow, purple, white and gray palette. it has mimikyu's overall shape and a raikou head, tail, and back clouds. it is named "raikyu" and is genderless.

2. an image of a jolteon/flygon with a very saturated blue and white palette. it has a flygon body and a jolteon head, with spiky layers of fluff and flygon's trademark "pilot goggle" eyes. it has a kind smile. its name is "joltgon" and it is male.

3. an image of a flygon/mimikyu with a soft, muted blue and gray palette. it has a mimikyu body and a flygon head, with the head kept simple and sporting large button eyes instead of the pilot goggle look. it has cardboard wings and a long tail with cards at the end. its name is "flykyu" and it is genderless.

4. an image of a zoroark/banette with a dark, monochrome grayscale palette. it has a banette shape and proportions with zoroark features, and resembles a chibi zoroark plush with a zipper mouth. its name is zoronette and it is male.

5. an image of a gengar/luxray with a dark, extremely low saturated black, yellow and blue palette. it is mainly luxray shaped, but has hands instead of front paws, an evil smile, and a shadowy aura. its name is "genray" and it is female.

6. an image of a mimikyu/zoroark with a pink, black and reddish-brown palette. it is zoroark shaped but has a mimikyu's face, patched up cloth skin, and wild, shadowy hair with branches and sticks sticking out of it. its hands are wrapped fabric. its name is "mimiark" and it is genderless.]

still need to name pretty much all of the guys from this playthrough, but as you can see i have become the fucked up plush trainer of my dreams (plus one obligatory jolteon). i'm really really thrilled to have a party like this that feels so uniquely "me", and i can see why xavier got excited over the spider thing. look at my guys!

we also got a bunch of other good mons throughout the course of the session and post-session fusefest. here they are.

[image description: there are 9 images, all of pokemon fusions.

1. an image of a mimikyu/giratina fusion with a very low saturation tan, black, purple and blue palette. it has a giratina's body, but is actually headless, with a shadowy hand emerging where the head would be. mimikyu's glowing eyes are instead on the creature's torso. the fusion is a raggedy plush, and seems haphazardly stitched together. it is named "mimitina" and is genderless.

2. an image of a lileep/leafeon fusion with a magenta, purple, and pastel green palette, its face a shadowy black color. it has a leafeon's body, tail and ears, with the face obscured in shadow and showing magenta dot eyes. it has lileep's "tendrils" in place of leafeon's head leaf. its name is "lilfeon" and it is genderless.

3. an image of a mew/dragonite fusion with a pastel purple and peach palette. it has a dragonite body but many mew features, such as its head, tail, and limbs. it has little wings made out of peach goop, and dragonite's whiskers. its name is "mewnite" and it is genderless.

7. an image of a shuppet/zorua fusion with a grayscale palette. it has a hisuian zorua-shaped body with shuppet features, mainly consisting of shuppet's ghostly eyes and a sheet ghost body. its name is "shuprua" and it is genderless.

8. an image of a joltik/giratina with a red, blue, gray, and white palette. it is...very tiny, barely taking up any space on the existing canvas. it is mainly giratina shaped with a joltik's face, but is hard to make details out on due to being so damn small. its name is "joltitina" and it is genderless.

9. an image of an articuno/espeon with a gray and black color palette, sporting blue and orange accents for the eyes and gem respectively. it is an espeon with galarian arcticuno features, and has a long, elegant tail and a facial mask. its name is "artipeon" and it is genderless. ]

the artipeon was a gift from knux, but man we made out like bandits yesterday. giratinas AND mews!

very pleased with how this run has just been a funfest of figuring out personal pokemon. it's so much fun.

Played a little tonight. Not much, but here's my highlights:

looks a bit shit, Bianca [1]

GOOFY? FROM FUN HOUSE?

[1] umm the sprite is fine btw I just already have a fucking ditto

today's session with knux was a short one, but thanks to 3x speed up feature we were able to clear out the sewers, lavender town, And erica's gym. good day for progression- and also, getting new mons. not a lot of variety today but what we Did get is just incredible. here we go:

1. a shroomish/pikachu fusion, sporting a pikachu's body and a shroomish's cap for a head. it is low saturated and composed of two shades of violet, and has a grumpy face. its name is "shroomchu" and it is genderless.

2. an azumarill/hoppip fusion, with a hoppip's body, an azumarill's face, tail and markings. it is a raspberry color with white markings and green leaves. its name is "azumapip" and it is genderless. ]

these two were just random gets that were super cute. the azumarill/hoppip is particularly notable, as hoppip is our system member metro's favorite pokemon, and we should be able to whip this one up in petz very easily for her. hooray!

[image description: 6 images of pokemon fusions, specifically all depicting "swiveon", a swinub/sylveon hybrid. they have a short legged sylveon's body, bushy fur, stripes on their backside, and sylveon's ribbons. they are all genderless.

1. a grayscale swiveon
2. a yellow tinted swiveon with purple and white accents
3. a green tinted swiveon with pink and white accents
4. a blue tinted swiveon with teal, peach and white accents
5. a maroon tinted swiveon with pink, blue and white accents
6. a magenta tinted swiveon with green, pink and white accents]

this is the swiveon squad. i swear we were planning to unfuse some but they all turned out too cute, so now we have six of them. they are such brave truffle pigs

1. an electinine with a green, white and black color palette
2. an electinine with a magenta, white and black color palette.]

we forget what the name of this specific kotora evolution is but we were VERY excited to encounter it in the wild. we love beta pokemon!

[image description: three images of pokemon fusions, specifically all yamask/oricorio (baile) fusions named "yacorio". they are all genderless, and are all black with color accents. the first has yellow accents, the second has blue,and the third has red. they're oricorio (baile) shaped with yamask faces and a mask held in hand.]

knux scored us these Amazing fusions in his own run, and we got them as a gift for xavier. he loves oricorio baile and has wanted a shiny one for a while- which has the black + red color palette the third one here does. it's perfect!

in addition to all this we got some latias, girafarig, and dialga components, as well as two wonder trade goodies i'm too lazy to screencap rn. more later, most likely!

no session today, but i DID do an IF hex. here is the newly christened elderberry:

isn't she cute? i had to swerve away from our IF petz-specific save for a bit to make one of my personal guys. i really like her...

finally, a session with knux! it's been a busy week.

not recorded but last session we did was beatrix playing solo and making a team for herself out of our five million giratinas we got in the session prior. here is her new party!

[image descriptions: 6 images of pokemon fusions.

1. a giratina/dragonite fusion with a dragonite shaped body, a giratina's head, a striped underbelly, and claw-like pieces along its torso. it is grayscale in palette, is genderless, and is named "giranite". it is also a red star shiny.

2. a very small scale joltik/giratina fusion. it is extremely small scale on the canvas and is a giratina with a joltik's little face and spiky, glowy wings made of electricity. it is red with blue, white and gray accents. it is genderless, named "joltitina", and a yellow star shiny.

3. an image of a mimikyu/giratina fusion with a very low saturation tan, black, purple and blue palette. it has a giratina's body, but is actually headless, with a shadowy hand emerging where the head would be. mimikyu's glowing eyes are instead on the creature's torso. the fusion is a raggedy plush, and seems haphazardly stitched together. it is named "mimitina" and is genderless. it is a red star shiny.

4. an arceus/giratina fusion with body halfway between its components- it has giratina's overall shape and claw-like structures on its neck, but arceus' neck, head, legs, and halo. It has wings by the base of its tail, made of space itself. it has space pattern along its underbelly, running from the underside of its head all the way to its tail. arceus' head...thing is made up of space dust as well, with a small planet floating by its head. its palette is white and purple with a galactic feel, with some orange accents here and there. its name is "arctina", it is genderless, and it is a double red star shiny.

5. a giratina/girafarig fusion with girafarig's overall body shape, giratina's front legs, spike-like back legs, a giratina head on the tail, and giratina's crest-like features on its main head. it has giratina's markings along its body, as well as spots instead of a striped belly. its palette is black, gray, and neon cyan. its name is "girafarig", it is genderless, and it is a red star shiny.

6. an umbreon/giratina fusion with a body resembling giratina's origin form, with a striped, worm-like body. its head is triangular and sporting umbreon's eyes and ears, as well as a 4 pointed star shape crest. it has shadowy hands that extend outward, and equally shadowy wings covered in eyes. its chest has an opening like a fanged mouth. it has a black and white palette, is named "umbtina", is genderless, and is a double red star shiny.]

as you can see, we're mentioning stars now- we used to think these weren't anything huge, or even bugged. they were just marks indicating which half of the shiny was actually shiny, but it didn't seem that consistent at all...until we looked into it during this session.

as knux put in a post on the HD forums:
"tl;dr: red is normal, yellow is rarer, black and cyan are extremely rare and feature inversions which make for much more vivid colors and often colored outlines"- leading us to completely rethink how we look at these guys. double stars mean both components were shiny and purposefully fused together, ftr- for some reason this doesn't show up in double shinies in the wild.

with that in mind...we looked at our handful of black star shinies we have and made them into really cool stuff!

[image descriptions: 3 images of pokemon fusions. they are all neon colors with strange shading tones, colored outlines, and double stars- the first two being double black, with the third being (inexplicably) double yellow.

1. a shellder/espeon fusion with a distinctly "invader zim" feeling, with a purple body and almost hoodie-like head, with a neon green face taking the place of shellder's shadowy one. its eye whites are replaced with a bright magenta pattern, green pupils the size of pinpricks. its black tongue hangs out of its mouth, matching its gem and inner ears. it is named "shellpeon", and is genderless.

2. a sunflora/luxray fusion with a blindingly red palette, so red that the outlines blend into the body color. details are practically obscured, but a sunflower-like mane and sunflower tipped tail can be seen on luxray's body. its face is desaturated cyan. its name is "sunray" and it is male.

3. a haxorus/suicune fusion resembling the gen 9 paradox pokemon walking wake. it has...blades? on its crest, though shapes are hard to make out in the neon green mess of outlines and shades. its mane is a darker green. it is named "haxcune", and is genderless.]

these fuckers are messy as hell and we love them very much. gotta give them names later!

here's some mons gotten from knux today!

[image description: 3 images of "omaeon"s, omastar/vaporeon fusions. they are vaporeon shaped with tentacle-like features in place of a neck ruff, as well as spikes along their face, back, and tails. they have omastar eyes and tattered fins. all three are genderless.

1. a black and white omaeon with a red shiny star.

2. a blue, teal and pink omaeon with a yellow shiny star.

3. a blue and yellow omaeon with a yellow shiny star.]

lastly, some misc guys from wonder trade in a previous session, mons obtained/components used from knux trades, and misc gets from today/past times. enjoy!

[images description: 9 images of pokemon fusions.

1. a genderless jumpluff/eevee fusion named "jumpvee" with a red shiny star. it has a blue eevee body with peach colored dandelion puffs on its neck, head, and tail. it resembles an eevee otherwise, and has a cheerful, open green mouth.

2. a genderless leafeon fusion named "leafsect" with a thin, spindly leafeon body with insect-like legs, a leafeon's head, and absolutely coated in chanterelle (i think?) mushrooms. the body color is purple, with the mushrooms appearing in a deeper shade, with blue-green accents on the leaves. it has two red shiny stars.

3. a ralts/ditto fusion named "ralto" with a white, gelatinous body, blue cap, and yellow spikes. it resembles a ralts in all but texture, and has a jewel-like shine. it is genderless, and has a yellow shiny star.

6. another paloon, this one a pastel lavender with muted green eyes and purple spores.  it is also genderless and has a yellow shiny star.

7. a genderless deoxys/shuckle fusion named "deockle", featuring a shuckle's body, long tendril like limbs making it stand up tall, and a long neck tipped with a deoxys head. the fusion is pink, slate gray, and white colored. it has a red shiny star.

8. a genderless toxapex/goodra fusion named "spyro", featuring a purple goodra body with pale green underbelly and yellow highlights. it has toxapex's tendrils(?) on its head and seaslug like back protrusions. it has a worried expression as well, and a red shiny star.

9. a genderless paras/dunsparce fusion named "jina", featuring a grayscale palette. it looks almost exactly like a dunsparce, but with tired, cartoony eyes, mushrooms on its back, and little bug legs. it has a red shiny star.]

after all that, we did a massive organization session that we are Not taking pictures of- but we may do some more casual fusions this week to make use of all the materials we have- and we have a LOT.

it has been a While since we've updated but we did in fact do a big fusion spree and now we are covered in new guys. let us show you the new guys.

first off, the final members of our parasect/eeveelution collection:

1. a flareon/parasect fusion with a cyan color scheme. it has a flareon's head and neck ruff with a puffball mushroom-style body, a fluffy tail, big claws, and spindly legs. its name is "flasect" and it is genderless.

2. a jolteon/parasect fusion with a peach-orange and white color scheme, featuring purple eyes and accents. it has a jolteon's head, large claws, and tendril-like features all over its body. its legs are spindly, it is genderless, and its  name is "joltsect".

3. a glaceon/parasect with a magenta and lilac color scheme, featuring a glaceon's head and tail, spindly legs, big claws, and a stacked, shelf-like mushroom on its back. its name is "glacesect" and it is female.

4. a sylveon/parasect with a white, magenta and teal color scheme, featuring a sylveon's head, ribbons, and bows. it has a tall mushroom with scalloped edges along the underside and a spotty coloration, large claws, and spindly legs. its name is "sylvsect" and it is male.]

really glad to get a full set of these guys, they've been one of our favorite sets of sprites we've seen since starting this adventure. really fond of the joltsect especially, with its nice colors...

this one was also one we've craved getting since initially looking through fusions- it manages to make something totally unique out of two components, and looks like a little doll....

[image description: 3 images of latias fusions!

1. a latias/sylveon fusion with a latios head, wings, tail, and overall marking patterns. it has sylveon's body and bows. it has a deep teal and light blue color palette, with black, teal and white accents on its bows. its name is "latiaveon", it is genderless, and has two red stars.

2. a jirachi/latias fusion that resembles a latias with ribbon tendrils, stardust-like edges to its wings and body, and tags on its wings and head. it also has star-like fringe on its head as well. it is white and light blue wiith brown accents, and has a jirachi-like face. on its chest is a star marking instead of the typical latias shape. there are some blue stars shining in the background. its name is "jitias", it is female and it has two yellow stars.

3. a latias/mantine fusion with a manta ray-like shape, latias' head and back...legs? and rounded head frills, as well as mantine's tail. it is raspberry colored with a white underbelly and a teal ring on its belly. it has red, fish-like eyes. its name is "mantias", it is female, and it has two yellow stars.]

one of como's favorite pokemon is latias, so we had to make a couple for him. sylveon is his other fave, so...the two must be fused! he loved all these guys and we'll probably toss them to him once he eventually plays kuray.

[image description: three cofagrigus fusions, all with two red stars.

1. an egg-shaped cofagrigus/sentret fusion, resembling a sentret with no organic arms, and a haunting black aura complete with four spectral hands. the rest of it looks like a normal sentret, just with a white and black palette. because of the feet blending in with the black aura and the belly ring blending in with the white body, it really, really looks like an egg. its name is "cofagtret" and it is genderless.

2. a deoxys/cofagrigus fusion resembling goldlewis' cryptid-carrying coffin from guilty gear strive, complete with an "AREA 51" label and a goopy amorphous figure emerging from the inside, googly eyes just barely visible. it has a magenta, black and gray coffin with green goop. its name is "deogrigus" and it is female.

3. a clefable/cofagrigus fusion resembling a ghostly clefable peeking out of a wooden coffin, featuring black spectral hands made of space itself. the clefable is purple, and the coffin is brown. apparently this thing is a SMT reference. its name is "clefgrigus" and it is female. ]

we really like the idea of cofagrigus' big spooky hands, but we've been mixed on the whole leaning into the ancient egyptian theming as we get older- so an attempt was made to make some spooky ghost guys that don't lean into that as much. we're pretty pleased with these guys!

[image description: 5 bewear fusions!

1. a delibird/bewear fusion featuring a pink bewear body, santa hat and muzzle, with a white head (complete with beard and delibird ears), present sack, and puffball on the santa hat. it has delibird eyes as well, and sports a tiny white button on its belly. its name is "deliwear" and it is female with two yellow stars.

2. a spiritomb/bewear fusion with a grayscale palette. its head is an odd keystone with headband-like ghostly ears, as well as a ghostly bewear body and a floating black tail. all of the spectral body parts have spiritomb's orbs suspended within, as well as a jagged mouth on its belly. its name is "spiriwear", it is female, and has two red stars.

3. a shedinja/bewear fusion with a dull pink and light dull brown color palette. it has a bewear's body with a slumped posture, one of its eyes missing. its other eye is shedinja-like and its headband-like ears are tattered on one side. it has shedinja wings and a tail made out of loose stuffing, matching tears and rips all across its body. it has a white shedinja halo as well. its name is "shedwear", it is female, and has two yellow stars.

4. a bewear/girafarig fusion with a light peach, black, and white color palette. it has girafarig's body with bewear's overall soft, plush qualities, bewear's head and headband-like ears (also sporting girafarig antennae), and a stufful head on its tail. it has a stitched midsection holding the two girafarig halves together. its name is "befarig" and it is female with two yellow stars.

5. a meowth/bewear fusion with a light cyan, black and white color palette. it has a bewear's body and tail with a meowth's face, ears, and whiskers, and is in a cutesy seated position. it has meowth's darker feet markings, as well. its name is "meowear", it is female, and has one red star. ]

the bears are in. we FINALLY got some bewear components and went kind of crazy. bewear isn't actually one of our favorite pokemon but it is a teddy bear and thus can be used to make a slew of plushie fusions. we got a little spooky with it too, for fun.

deliwear was also a christmas gift to ourselves. please observe them.

onto some wonder trade gets....

[image description: 12 images of various pokemon fusions, all obtained from wonder trade. none of their names were purposefully chosen.

last but certainly not least...the christmas presents we got from knux today.

[image description: 4 images of bewear/scolipede fusions, all with the same sprite but different colors. they have worm-like body shapes and are curled up in a circle, with scolipede's body segments and ring markings, a dark underbelly, a bewear tail, and bewear's head. they are all genderless.

3. a bepede with no name and two red shiny stars. it is pale yellow with a black underbelly and darker yellow and white accents. this one was technically not a christmas gift.

4. a blue shiny star (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) bepede named "grape jelly". due to being a blue shiny star pokemon, it has inverted colors with magenta outlines and a deep green body color, a deep magenta underbelly, and lime green and magenta accents.]

holy shit, amazing christmas gift. knux did these sprites totally custom and we're the first people to have these ever- they werent even posted in the discord until now! we love our little worm beaws so, so much.

merry christmas to all, and let there be much more IF to come.

happy new year! here's our new guys that we got on christmas and a subsequent session!

a pre-amble: kuray infinite fusion released a new "advanced" mode that allows for All New Types Of Shiny....with a lot of color channel shifting we have no idea how to explain, as well as colorization/"mutations"! the main point is: you can get way, Way more shiny options now, and a lot of them look fucking crazy. here's our results from playing on advance mode both when it came out on christmas, and a subsequent session when knux got his laptop back (hooray!)

also: these are sprites exported from the game itself! no more having to screencap every file! yippee! as such, there won't be descriptions of things like gender, because we do not have them on hand. we give these fuckers random pronouns anyway so it does not matter

[image description: 3 images of bewear/scolipede fusions, known as bepedes.

1. a lime green bepede with yellow accents, a teal underbelly, dark green stripes, and blue outlines.
2. a pastel pink bepede with white accents, a red underbelly, brown stripes, and red and black outlines.
3. a periwinkle bepede with white accents, deep purple underbelly, deep purple stripes, and dark purple outlines.]

more bepedes!!!! we are just going to have to get as many of these as possible. these guys are zippy, tufty, and lavv respectively.

the first pokemon we obtained on christmas: cheeri! technically half of her (the togekiss) was a component from our starter, and her jolteon component came from a route 1 eevee. she's perfect.

here we have our vast collection of eeveelution fusions, all derived from the eevees found at the start of the game- plus an imported sylveon because jesus CHRIST mist stones did not want to roll us any. we can't get enough of eeveelutions, and there's so many good ones in this game. plus, they're petzable.

1. a dratini/solosis fusion resembling a blue cell with a blue and white baby dratini curled up inside.
2. a jirachi/furret fusion with furret's body and jirachi's face, holding a star, caught up in ribbons and having a shawl-like fabric covering over its chest. it is white with black accents, and has star shaped cheek blush.
3. a krookodile/larvesta fusion with an upright standing larvesta body, larvesta's fluff, and krookodile's head and tail. it is purple with a black and blue striped underbelly, as well as black accents.
   4)  a sentret/azurill fusion with azurill's body, sentret's face, tail, and ears. it has a gameboy-like palette with a dull green color paired with white and brown accents.
4. a sunkern/mudkip fusion with a mudkip's body, sunkern's face and sprout. it is pink with brown, coral, and pastel blue markings.]

some non-eeveelution guys accrued on christmas and that first session. the jirachi/furret is from knux!

[image description: 6 slither wing sprites, all in different colors

1. a slither wing with white fur, a desaturated blue body, blue outlines, and light blue gradient wings.
2. a slither wing with light purple fur, a dark purple body mulberry gradient wings, dark purple outlines, and purple-orange horns and spikes.
3. a slither wing with white fur, a magenta body, pink outlines, and pale green wings and horns.
4. a slither wing with white fur, a teal body, peach to yellow gradient wings, peach horns and spikes, and green outlines.
5. a slither wing with white fur, a black body, green gradient wings, and pale green horns.
6. a slither wing with white-cream fur, an orange body, periwinkle to pink gradient wings, brown outlines, and periwinkle horns. ]

...so we realized that there's an alt sprite for volcarona based on slither wing and immediately decided to go get some and randomize colors so we could have a bunch more random slither wing OCs. we will probably make many, many more of these

so...yeah! pokemon! we're back to it!

oh god it has been too long since our last update. we have been doing a lot of stuff in IF, but haven't had the energy to blog about it! we may do some more catch up this week, but for now i'm going to talk about yesterday's session.

a while back we sat down and recorded some faves from the newest sprite pack, and yesterday we made it our mission to wonder trade for components so we could get some of these awesome wishlist mons. we ended up getting about half of them, which feels great! we're going to try and start making OCs out of them before the next sprite pack drops, using our pokemon OC generator, as well as submitting some dex entries for the ones that really speak to us. maybe we'll post about that here, maybe we'll do it in our blog thread. we will see!

for a change of pace, we're going to go one by one to really give these things a spotlight, even if it's just a sentence or two.

this thing is so cute! while the vertical wing placement means this thing definitely cannot fly (as opposed to it being on the back), it's really cute and sweet, and a clever reuse of beedril parts. it's always really charming when a sprite uses assets directly from bases and meshes them together, and reminds us of how we used to make fusions ourselves as kids. the blue eyes are our favorite part, and as people here probably know, we're suckers for black, white, and accent color palettes.

wow! this guy stood out to us immediately in the new pack, and we love its weird little body shape and distinct face. we can imagine this thing waddling around no problem, and getting into weird places.

this guy is the previous one's big sister. she is so huge and fun, and we always love when a spriter does matching evolution lines. we almost want to draw art of these two, but don't really have a lot of time to do so. if we do, we'll post it here.

knux helped us get this one, and wow, what a stunner. it is absolutely beautiful to look at! even with a straightforward design, you really get the sense that this is a legendary. necessary to hex in petz.

we made a LOT of latias fusions yesterday, mainly due to there being a lot in the previous sprite pack made by one spriter in particular, Oz. we absolutely love their style of latias/latios sprites, and plan on getting the latios versions of these guys as well to make cute pairs. so so so so cute.

another cutie! sadly we aren't as huge on the porygon-z out of this line, or we'd make a full set for sure. still, having a latias looking like a rubber duck is perfect, and we really like this thing.

[image description: a latias/snorlax fusion with a snorlax's big chunky body, munchlax's dress-like torso trim, a big fluffy collar, latias wings and ears, and claw-tipped hands. its palette is yellow and white, and it has closed snorlax eyes and a big smile.]

this one had us absolutely smitten, and it breaks our heart we don't immediately have a latios to pair with it. the yellow color is extra cute, and provides a sweet vibe! 10/10 would hug

we see a cute spooky eevee, we get the cute spooky eevee. this is a really simple design that is soooo cute, and we really want to put it in petz. really soft and gentle vibes, especially with the pastel pink accent.

this one's really dramatic! there were a lot of parasect fusions in this update, and this one is really up there on ones we like. it's so buggy, but so pretty.

this one was THE goal of the session, and technically not from this sprite pack. it's a mew under a truck reference for the most recent "going somewhere" contest, and sprited by knux! we were so excited to get a shieldon in our wonder trading so we could make this thing. so so so funny. can't wait to make it an OC.

wow, what a beauty. this was one of our BIG goals, because look at how crazy this guy is! it's a mew in a tree mech! that's so awesome.

jesus this thing rolled good colors. absolutely stunning! i can totally picture this thing elegantly exploring a forest.

we usually don't go for reference fusions but this is very much an exception. it's a furby! we literally just recently had Brain Thoughts about furbies! and now we have one. no idea how this is going to fit into our pokemon OC canon.

this guy is so silly. we really like sandygast fusions that work with the funky mouth!

[image description: a sandygast/goodra fusion with a pale tan goodra body made out of sand and embedded with pink and green rocks- two of those rocks making up cheek blushies on it. it has a wide, happy looking sandygast mouth, and a black underbelly. it has black and green sandygast eyes, a pink shovel sticking out of its head, nubby arms, and a pile of sand under its body. ]

we love beach weirdos so much, and this one has the sandygast mouth again! it looks so happy.

this one is super simple but really adorable. can't decide if the OC version just sits around, or carries it  on its back like a shell...

saving the best for last, LOOK at this thing. it is the sweetest, and tailor made for our system member iris. this pattern was actually an accident- we were trying to reroll for the stufful-patterned alt with a strawberry belly, not realizing there was one with standard cow patterns and a bandana. definitely our highest priority for an OC.

this took a lot of time to assemble but we hope you enjoy our guys! now to run off and figure out some character stuff...
