Why compare fangames at all? Each of them is usually in a different league of their own, mainly because the setting and the story completely differ from each other. Comparing them to each other is is like comparing a strawberry with a cucumber, tbh.

I do think though there are aspects that can be compared. You focused mainly on art and storitelling, which are as you said unique for each game and hard to compare. However, as all fangames use pokemon's mechanics, things such as level design or distribution of resources (money, pokemon, items...) are pretty similar in different fangames and can be compared pretty easily.

I think comparing has value without being disrespectfull of the creators. You can compare fangames to make a a ranking on the different aspects of a fangame. This does not mean that one is inherintly better then the other but you compare them to give others a reference point. If I were to explain rejuvination intense mode, I would say it is harder then reborn but not as hard as reborn hardcore. Does that mean I am saying one is better then the other no.

@Lugruf I agree with that point but that falls into the category of genres. Pokemon is a turn based RPG in which fangames have two subgenres of Fangame and hacks. I could break it down more, but it is not necessary. (At this point I should make a thread).
When games are all similar and shape a genre then you should refer to that when giving comparisons as it has standards and what people expect. And yeah it is okay to talk about how different fangames do this or that as everybody does and should do that. It brings discussion which benefits both games.
What Zumi is referring to is when someone gives feedback to help improve a fangame. Giving a straight comparison to a single game gives so many bad impressions such as "my game isn't good enough to be thought of its own thing" and "my game has to be like so and so or it is not good." While this is a little extreme, these things do leave a bad impact instead of focusing on a genre. The cool thing about using the term genre is that you can reference other works to say what they did and have no need to compare them. So much better than saying That the Story or Battles aren't as good as Pokemon Edgelord.

... I've yet to hit 75 since I got this game months ago. And that includes the hours where my brother and his friend were playing on my profile because neither of them has a current PS plus sub.
Then again, I've only had a total playtime of less than 2 days (42 hrs). Yeah... that probably has more to do with it.

I present to thee, the shinies for Espeon and Umbreon! If you couldn't tell, I based Espeon's on Luna from Sailor Moon, and Umbreon's on Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. :]

...tbh if you're wondering where i've been i've just been absorbed by overwatch
what do you mean i'm procrastinating

I think these will be created for Rejuv and Reborn separately, as Jan is also working on a community shiny project for Rejuv, and Ame also did this for Reborn. It's up to them separately in the end, I think.

As for Voltorb and Electrode, you're on the right path with the first set, but the second set is lacking shading, which you really shouldn't leave out. I still feel like you'd be better off if you actually picked a different set of Pokéballs though, because these just look really plain and not all that original to me. Golduck is good, but i'd leave the hat off-- Other than that it's nice looking! I think you should be able to move on to the backsprites for this one (Please make sure to have a version with a transparent background though, it'll save time for Jan) Doduo's colors are still too saturdated and are painful to look at, as well as the shading being barely visible and the colors being generally too dark to distinguish from each other, so I'll have to reject this one again. Heyyyyy this one is pretty cool! I'm gonna wait with approving this one though because of Hycrox having originally claimed this one, so I'll let Jan make a final judgement on this one later. Bruhhh these are super nice. Well done! I'll make sure to update the claim list later. Nice job! All there's left to do is indeed the size fix, and getting rid of that one pixel in the top right corner of the front sprite, and then you should be set. Looks better than the previous one, but there's the shading issue again; you're using a color that's only slightly darker than the lighter ones, and this makes it look like as if there's no shading. The Rhydon is also lacking shading as well as having improper use of black, and as much as I like memes and think it's pretty funny what you did, I really don't think I should accept this one. Looks better than your first attempt, but the colors of the center of the cloyster are still too light. Try using a darker outline, or at least use it for the outline of the mouth and the eyes, as they're barely distinguishable from the rest of the sprite. There's an anti-aliasing problem here, and the edges are blurry. Also, the colors are a bit too similar to the original sprites, so perhaps try something else? (Also is that a The Flash reference on the slowbro or what)

Okay... So, service announcement! I'm going to be taking over for a bit because unfortunately, Jan's computer broke down last night due to overheating, and hasn't started up since. No worries though; it's not a hard drive issue so no progress of his work has been lost-- And even if it was, he'd have backups ready! It's more so that his power supply has died and needs a replacement, so he'll be absent for several days until his computer works again. Until then, he's put me in charge of quality control of your edits. I'll take a look at some of the sprites tomorrow, but let's all hope for Jan that he gets his computer fixed as fast as possible!
