Okay, so with these sprites, a lot of them are kind of subpar and a lot of the rest are great starts but need more polishing before putting them in. This topic is going to be a reference list for myself and other spriters who want to take a swing at altering these sprites- 'correcting' them, yes. So here is what we have currently: Remember, anything with a white background I'm considering fit-for-use as is. My judgment isn't perfect and I'm also open to other alterations if they look better. The goal here is not to be perfect or artistic, but to have sprites that are passable, accurate and quality enough that they don't become a distraction in-game. What we don't want is people to think, mid-battle when Frogadier is sent out, "...Huh, the collar foam looks weird." It just needs to be smooth and styled enough to fit in with everything else. So, here is my analysis of the things with dark backgrounds: As you probably suspect the spreadsheet above is just one giant image, but it won't be hard to download that and crop it for editing. Then if you make any changes, just upload the smaller section of the sprite. I'll eventually get to this myself but the topic is open in case anyone wants to save me some work, since I am presently still working on the missing backsprites.

saya got me a shirt i really like it qq ea4lyfe

On an unrelated note, as a matter of community rule and respect, I'd suggest you find a different word for uh, destroyed on a related note, spoilers, but those events will come back someday

call me when they add starfire and raven and then we'll talk.

I haven't seen any solid or even remotely convincing evidence that there will be a new region any time soon. There will be Volcanion, Dianicie and Hoopa and there'll be Hoenn remakes and a Pokemon Z in a year or two or three, but there's no point in dillydallying with these. As for why to include it anyway, it's very important to me as a player that the games I play be up to date, otherwise I feel like I'm taking a step back. I know others will feel that way, and I don't want my players to feel like they're going on a dated project. ...despite the fact that the graphics are 3rd gen style. Let's just ignore that. Also, there are already other Essentials projects that have 6th gen. Firstly in regards to that, the guy who's been working on those is a friend of mine who codes a bit every night. He's often at a loss for projects, so I gave him one. Even if he does get bored of it, I'll at least know and can make decisions based on that. That said, I have no intention of delaying the 10.5 release for the sake of scripts. Those things have been incomplete thus far and it won't kill anyone if they continue to be incomplete. Those items will probably be an on-going task. That just means that it's being released in a normal time frame. If I weren't having people from the community help, it would take me much longer to implement this stuff. That's planned for 10.5, but yes. That's the exciting part actually, because I'm going to redo all available pokemon (and TMs) and take a more systematic approach. This will probably mean I'm not going to make the silly mistake of putting Abra and Magby into the early game, crowding out other lower-tier options; there are a few things I need to do over anyway. Also, I'm very excited for 6th gen's introduction of alternate tall grass, which will allow me to visually spruce up some areas, and non-grass encounters which I intend to include as well. Also on the list for this update is removing 1-2% encounter rates because those just aren't fun for anyone; most of those Pokemon will probably be modeled into events. That's the fun part, though. Right now we're still in the drudge of sprites. I would love to work on Episode 11 while everyone is working on 10.5 but there are certain things only I can do for 10.5. Now, I am doing my best to mitigate those; I have a text document outlining exactly what others can do and what I need to do, and I try to donate as much work as I can to the forum so that I can focus on the things I must do. Presently, that means I'm a sprite factory. In a week I'll probably be doing corrections. After that? Well, then I can probably start working on the stuff I described above.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin', I think Riot and I would get along... >>

that really would be the worst wedding Bride, do you take this man to be your wedded husband? "eh." Groom, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife? the crowd waits in anticipation; all eyes are forward. but there is no answer. ikaru doesn't say a word. he activates his squid camouflage and waits until everyone thinks he is gone so that he can slip away unnoticed. only squids dont have camouflage; everyone can still see them. but he remains perfectly still. perfectly silent. he stands at the alter unmovingly for if he moves he knows we will surely detect his presence, the presence everyone was already aware of anyway. for hours we wait, watching him, him watching us waiting for us to stop watching him. the sun sets. the children sleep. the cake's organic frosting begins to melt, the third tier giving way and letting the the top layer fall with a slight squish onto the purple tablecloth below, staining it. but still no one has moved. we dare not look at the falling cake for we know if we look away then ikaru will surely vanish like the victim of a weeping angel. we stare at him in perfect still motion for hours. with a sigh, the pastor closes his bible, mutters something about just saying so in the first place and wanders away sadly. the audience murmurs in confusion. one by one they filter out of the steeple in disarray. people whisper among themselves; did the wedding finish? what happened? why are they still standing up there? the squid remains still because he knows if he leaves with anyone else still present, his cover will be blown. the sun rises. it sets again. the audience is gone. the cake is untouched, now a heap of stale bread molding over a puddle of what was once vanilla icing. the wedding gifts are gone, for many of the visitors took them back in confusion on the way out. mashew and colin resolve to use the RP they got as a wedding gift on themselves instead. kaito takes on the noble task of eating the thirty nine steaks he bought for us himself; he convinces himself this was a good idea because i dont eat meat. the rest of SU does not tell him they knew from the start that he chose such a gift for that exact reason. horizon appears and steals the rest of the gifts. hours pass. only ikaru and i remain, still at the altar. i still stare deeply into his eyes, patiently awaiting an answer. he does not stare deeply into mine. he awkwardly averts his gaze and hope that the movements of his eyes do not betray his squid camoflage. he will wait for me to tire and leave. little does he know the me that is on the altar is nothing more than a copy; i have been at home the entire time, just then finally maxing out the level on the 6th ambipom of my pickup army. soon i will have leftovers enough to rival a post-thanksgiving meal.

Well, I have some gripe with them but thats just because they denied permission for their sprites... *grumble grumble* Aside from that, we disagreed with a lot of the ideas they had about tiering last gen so we deviated from them. We may or may not do the same this gen; we'll see.

Well, that can be corrected later. I'll close this topic when I get home. Thanks for your help everyone!

Great, thanks Matt~ The point of all this is in preparation for 10.5 which will be a testing release featuring 6th gen content (probably not Mega Evolution yet though)

It is technically a fighting move; the additional effect will have to be scripted in.

Riiiight, okay. Just pick one to put in that document and post the other stats here.

I might do that for the plate. As for the fossils, no. They'll be obtainable through other means.

Great job, thank you! That's a lot to do so suddenly; I'm impressed ^^

Glad to hear it! ^^ So we're done with all the Central Kalos Pokemon and well into Coastal. List updated. c:

lol ok ame blonde this is what i get for posting my friend code at four in the morning corrected earlier post; also: 1950 8417 9398 I got Aipom now though thanks to Summer, but thanks anyway everyone~

:I 1950 8417 9398 Normal: Teddiursa, Miccino, Chansey Currently looking for Aipom; I will sift through all 15 pages of this thread and add everyone who might have it because #yolo

Er, well, even if that does happen it wouldn't be anytime soon. I didn't even know that feature was in Zeta/Omnicron.

Maybe! Unfortunately due to the demand for overworld sprites that probably is impractical after all

You don't need Rock Smash to progress through the stairway.

yeah. if people are really really curious i guess you can just ask me personally though I don't promise such elaborate answers. For now I'm just gonna close this here have a cat gif as apology

It's a little weird. All you have to do is have created a trainer card before, that way it has something to stick the sprite on.

oh dear god you guys i would like to finish this i really would but given the amount of effort i actually put into each response its not even practical for me to do so anymore and i would burn a loooot of time on it that would be better otherwise spent on like yanno... the game and such. i love you all and am deeply sorry

Actually I think I meant to include them on Route 1. Whoops. Will add.
