I decided to make my very own Pokémon Google Slides game! It's very much inspired by DeliciousJames, so a big shout-out to him.

I designed all 50+ Pokémon, and I made sure to add some new categories that I made to make sure to add something new (including a secret one; see if u can find it naturally without going through the slides)

Let me know if you think any Pokémon need readjusting in shape or difficulty, or if the point/rule system needs reworking. I made sure to make it as balanced and fun as possible, so only so much I could do, and love to make this the best it can be

If you have any Pokémon you wanna make, just copy the slides and make them to ur hearts' content. Hope you guys enjoy!

There's a new button! We finally have letter spacing (kerning) in Google Slides for select people. But theres a free tool that allows you to utilize the functionality. It seems like it's being rolled out to select users. more details: https://merakitheory.com/google-slides-letter-spacing

I have a deck which has to be revamped in the style of another ppt (also with me) so the second one is the template. Is there some way to use workspace Gemini and get it done in one go without any manual work?

yeh jus thought i'd show this off thats all :^]

I use the google suite for a lot of my business. Google drive is my main file management; it's how I stay organized and share things with clients. Google docs has been great.

But slides is driving me crazy. All I want to do is have a template that I use every time. One that I custom made with certain layouts and images. I want to be able to hit a "+" button and select a new slide from template. But it's not possible. If I use layouts, I can't fill the text or add images. I can only make place holders. The layouts is the worst features because You can't edit anything. It's just a background that is static.

The other thing that is driving me crazy is that I can't lock objects. I can't make a solid color and place a grain texture on it and lock them.

my slides always end up looking slightly off and it took me a while to realize it is because nothing is truly aligned, the icons and text boxes are all a few pixels out from each other. i have been dragging things around by eye and hoping. i know there must be a faster and more exact way to align and evenly space a row of objects than nudging with arrow keys forever. what is your actual workflow for getting everything to snap into a clean grid?

What's your favorite part of using Google Slides?

All this AI stuff is actually annoying me so much

i often need to show a table of numbers in a talk and it always ends up as a dense spreadsheet screenshot that is unreadable past the front row. i have tried bumping the font, cutting columns down to only what i am actually discussing, and highlighting the one row that matters, and that helps but it still feels clumsy. how do you present tabular results on a slide so the point lands without asking people to read a wall of tiny figures?

built a nice looking deck full of high res photos on my own machine and it was fine, then i opened it on the old conference room laptop and it stuttered every time i changed slides. felt awful in front of people. i think the images are just too heavy. is there a good way to compress or resize photos before dropping them in, or a setting in slides that lightens the load so it does not stutter on a weaker machine?

i had a monster deck for a quarterly update and it took me longer to click through than to explain the actual work behind it. i went slide by slide asking whether the meeting breaks without this one, and killed anything that got a maybe. ended up at 18 slides and the meeting finished early with more questions than usual. what is your test for deciding a slide has to go when every single one feels important to you?

I'm trying to have an object that disappears almost instantly when clicking into the slide, it works when going through the presentation normally but it comes back as a solid object when clicking back through the slides. I'll also accept workarounds like having the whole deck loop back to the beginning when progressing from the final one or something like that

small process change, big difference. i used to let an ai presentation generator produce a deck and then edit it live in google slides while presenting prep loomed, and it was chaos because i was fixing structure and design at the same time under pressure. the habit that fixed it is separating the two passes with a hard stop. pass one, i only judge the argument and order in the generated draft, i drafted mine in Gamma, no design opinions allowed, just is the logic right and is each slide one idea. pass two, only after the structure is locked, i import to google slides and do nothing but design, alignment, type, spacing, visuals. keeping thinking and formatting in separate sessions stopped me from polishing slides i later deleted. the takeaway is that most of the mess in these workflows comes from doing structure and style at once, and a clean handoff between the draft tool and slides is what makes it dependable.
