Poryhedron

Webmaster, Suggestions Board Manager, Coding, Odd Jobs

Country: United States 🇺🇸
A loyal follower of the Pok�mon Factory almost since it was first started, I have been a respected member of the PF community for a few years, and am happy to help out now that it is returning to the fore. I always try to stay objective when reviewing ideas, and can be counted on to help if you're having trouble with your Pok�dex data.

Bonzai

Coding, Art, Odd Jobs

Country: United Kingdom 🇬🇧
I've been following Pokémon in almost every media style since I got Pokémon Red for my birthday in '98. I found PF in late 99 and sent in a few suggestions (none of which were published), and exchanged emails with the old artist Aspenth a few times. I was sad to see it go, happy to see it come back, and even happier to be a part of it.

ShinE

CG Artist, Shine Artist, Odd Jobs

Country: Netherlands 🇳🇱
When I first found PF I was amazed by the quality of its fan-made pokémon. I discovered the Suggestions Board and started suggesting, with Lickityke as my first. With the shinies still present in R/S I felt PF could use shinies too, and ended up being PF's first Shine Artist. Eventually, I improved my spriting skills and I'm currently one of the PokéDex Artists. With the ever higher quality of PF's current pokémon, I'm still as happy as ever I found PF back then.

Antarctros

Concept Artist, CG Artist, Odd Jobs

Country: Argentina 🇦🇷
I got into Pokémon thanks to the TV series (I never had a Game Boy of any kind, all I know about the games is by investigating on the Internet). I started inventing my own pokémon almost from the start. For some years I didn't know that other people had the same hobby, until I found one of PF's SE dexes on a very well known Pokémon site. After I saw it, I searched for its source and finally I found the site. I had arrived at a time when suggestions were suspended temporarily, so I waited, suggested a few moves, and started getting in touch with the staff, particularly ShinE, who made possible my recruitment. And that's it, here I am!

Moppnttef

Concept Artist

Country: United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Having lurked around the site for months, I finally plucked up the courage to make an account right after suggestions reopened. The Factory forums being the first message board I ever joined meant that there was (and still is) a lot of things I'm still green at understanding, but that will certainly pass with time. Thanks to my attempts at visualising other member's suggestions I was offered a place among the staff remarkably quickly, an offer which I jumped at equally quickly (and gratefully too!) So here I am now, ready and waiting to sketch up any'mon you care to name!

Miravistel

CG Artist

Country: United States 🇺🇸
I've been a fan of the Pokémon Factory since just before the original version went offline, and have been suggesting pokemon since it restarted. For a long time I've been tinkering around with sprites; recoloring, splicing, editing and making them, slowly getting better. I'd always wanted to be a member of the staff, and I was ecstatic when I realized that I'd gotten good enough at spriting to be a sprite artist for PF. And now, here I am!

Alpaquick

CG Artist

Country: Unknown
I've been a fan of the Pokémon Factory for a while, I still remember that silly old comic strip that it had (with Charbulble and Togetwo). I joined the forums a few years ago, suggested a couple pokémon, and I worked on my spriting skills until I thought I was ready to try out for the job of being a CG artist here, and well, here I am now.

Cacapulse

Concept Artist

Country: Philippines 🇵🇭
A great fan of Pokémon, I was somewhat getting tired of waiting for years to see new official Pokémon. So I scoured the internet looking for fanmade pokemon, that was how I found the PF site, I was amazed of their high quality pictures and descriptions. Months later I tried to suggest some of my ideas. Later I tried to put up some sketches, which some of the staff seemed to like. I was tested, I passed and POOF! I have my first job. (That I actually like) ;)

Arcaleoh

Concept Artist

Country: Unknown
Like essentially everyone else in Staff, I knew of the Pokémon Factory since its Red and Blue incarnation, when genetic accidents roamed free and cyborg versions of real Pocket Monsters were widely accepted. In any case, things have changed quite a bit since then, but I've remained a member and constantly suggested my ideas. Recently, I was apparently noted for my ability to draw...things, for which I was hired as Concept Artist for the Pokémon Factory. It's turning out to be quite fun, too.

Deckadecu

Poster Artist, PF League Moderator, Concept Artist

Country: United States 🇺🇸
I'm from the beginning of the PFA-era and have been with PF for about 4 years. My first suggestion happened to be a Farfetch'd evolution named 'Plausible which became 'Mpossible; my first approved suggestion was Plateepus in the RSE-style archives. I am interested in evolution rather than new species, often thinking of new ways for Pokemon to develop and grow. After 3 and a half years, my participation on the boards was rewarded with something I had long given up on - I became a staff member. I am a Concept and Poster Artist and help out frequently with players of the PFL RPG. I'm a bit immature, so bear with me, but I sincerely try the best I can. My staff avatar is Deckadecu, my moniker is DeckuZora, I am here to have a blast!

Squirrelay

PF League Admin

Country: United States 🇺🇸
When I was just a lad, I stumbled upon a little site named 'The Pokemon Factory.' I attempted to suggest a pokemon under the sites first iteration, but it wasn't meant to be. Then the site closed, came back up again, I lost it, and then I found it again. I watched from the shadows, enjoying the hard work of the Staff and the creativity of the Pokemon fandom. Being the shy person I am. I only have one evolutionary-line approved at time of writing. I wanted to be a sprite artist but my skills were never on par (and still aren't), but I was fortunate enough to be given a job as the Pokemon Factory League Administrator (sounds official, huh?). I enjoy working with the Staff and hope to do so in the long future.

Aquletale

Pokengine Manager, Mini Artist

Country: United States 🇺🇸
I found out about the site some years ago, back near the middle of the RSE era. I would check in occasionally, and at one point in my life when I was obsessed with RPing, I saw the RPG was back up and joined the forums finally under the name of elementalpenguin. It was my goal to join staff ever since I started drawing. Although I'm not good enough to be a concept artist, since I'm one of the main staff members over at Pokengine, our affiliate site, I was offered a job to head up the project over there. I'm also an avid competitive battler, and love doing movesets and especially stats for pokemon. So here I am, having fulfilled my goal, not as a concept artist, but spriting the minis for that project, which is just as exciting. It's great to be working as staff here, and I'm eager to do my job.

Carryon

CG Artist

Country: United Kingdom 🇬🇧
I'm Nev, I like slouching, baggy clothes, and taxidermy, and i've been a faithful lurker for about half my life. I've been spriting a long while but never thought I'd be part of Pokemon Factory. It's great to be here, the Factory was one of my biggest inspirations. I was a reporter for the Daily Bugle before I was bitten by a radioactive spriter. I find the internet very refreshing because I can dispense with the mild mannered alter-ego altogether.

Legacy

Culthulhu

Webmaster, Boss
Country: United States 🇺🇸
I was hired to write news by one of the original creators of PF, Mewthree. I started under the alias of Wendigo, and soon changed to Psylence, and I am now known as Culthulhu. Since I was hired, I have seen the opening of the original suggestions board, I have hired artists to work in PF's G/S style, and I have even seen the fall of PF. Since then I have been working to reopen PF. I am an active participant in the current Submissions Board, frequently suggesting ideas just as the regular fans do.

Culthulhu was originally known as Wendigo, then Psylence.

Quazaplat

Artist, Poster Artist
Country: Unknown
I'm pretty much an old school Pokémon fan, and was making lame fake Pokémon up almost from the beginning, after I got some handy fonts and things from the first incarnation of the Pokémon Factory. Botispine kind of signed me up to be an artist, so now I... do stuff here at PF. I tend to make a lot of websites nowadays. Woo, go me! I am also a very, very scary psycho-girl. Watch out kiddies, I might make you listen to some music abot fruit. Mwa ha ha.

Schimre

CG Artist
Country: United States 🇺🇸
Schimre has been following pokémon ever since it first appeared in the pages of Nintendo Power. He discovered the factory by accident and found it the perfect place to express his love of the game with other hard corp fans. Under the geus of the mysterious ghost writer, "Not Bob Dole", he wrote stories of the beet life in Cerulean City Police department (CCPD Red/Blue). His talent as an artist went unnoticed for sometime before he was recruted by Nekorb.

Schimre also drew the Lamer Bag sprite comic, and created the setting for the PFL RPG, Bombur.

Hisutata

CG Artist
Country: Unknown
What is there to say about me, really? I'm not an old-schooler like a few of the other staff members, but I've been around a while. I do some of the artistic stuff around here... and that's pretty much it, really. (I'm just so interesting, aren't I?) I'm just someone who draws these little pokémon pictures instead of doing some real work. Go me.
2000 ~ 2002

Niklus

Events?
Country: Unknown
I too have followed Pokémon since the day it hit the shelves. To be honest though, I had NO idea what the game was when I bought it, I just liked the Red Dragon (Charizard) on the front. After playing through it multiple times, I came up with my own ideas. Some good, Some REALLY bad. I original followed the PF before the crash and like most took refuge at Legion's Board, So I'm happy that the PF is up and running again. And even happier to be helping.

Not much is known about Niklus beyond the avatar.
2000 ~ 2003?

Nekorb

Coding, Anti-Hacking Front Line
Country: Unknown
Been around since almost the beginning, I was part of the original staff. Throughout the years that I have personally known Culthulhu, I have done odd and end jobs that ranged from being Phorum Manager to "Special Projects" for the site. In real life, I am just a person in this kooky crazy mixed up world....in a bear suit. Wang on people...wang on.

Phaerin

Artist, Fanfic Editor, RPG Assistant
Country: United States 🇺🇸
Ever since Pokémon Red was created I have been apart of the pokémon cult that surfs the web. However, one thing made me unhappy: I had tons of ideas for pokémon and no place to put them. Years ago I stumbled onto the retro Pokémon Factory and I have wanted to be apart of it ever since.

Phineas, later Phaerin, was first hired as a concept artist, later becoming part of the early PFL RPG. His departure was not amicable, after some arguments with Culthulhu.
2001 ~ 2002

Graffido

Graphics Editor
Country: Unknown
I have been an avid Pokéfan since Red/Blue came to America. I was the first to get the card game on my street and have always enjoyed creating POKéMON. I was hired by Culthulhu because I have an "eye for art".

None of Graffido's work remains, but there is a sprite featured in some of the Lamer Bag comics.
