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!

Some tips for people who don't know what to do with their colors and want to learn more about how to properly apply them to their sprites: http://paletton.com/ is a very good website to come up with color schemes! You can mess around with settings and create a color palette this way that you can potentially use for a shiny sprite. Don't use overly saturated colors -- they hurt the eyes... Especially if you put clashing colors next to each other. What are clashing colors? The basics of color theory I got some more shading tutorials and color palettes for you here, here, here aaaaaaaaand here! Good luck, and most importantly have fun! Don't be afraid to experiment, but make sure that everything looks nice together. Practice makes perfect!

I'll just make a list of things for readability's sake: Officially launched development of my game and made it to the point where I can start mapping/eventing without having crashes for any major features anymore (i'm surprised i figured out most of this myself tbh) Obtained my propaedeutic diploma (aka now i can't get kicked out of uni anymore if i happen to fail a block) Improved on my art and music a lot and did a lot of experimentation I've become significantly less socially awkward around people irl (I still am. Just nowhere near as much lel) Made many new friends successfully converted half of the regulars on the server into meme loving fucks (jk) Despite all odds, countless mood drops and temptations to just give up on everything, I'm still doing what I like and do best. I think that's a pretty big achievement for myself especially, since things have just been really rough this year in general. I hope I can keep doing so in 2017, as well.

Welcome to Reborn, HongaarseBeer! It's always nice to have another fan of music join the forums c: Make sure to check the Community Rules and Guidelines before you post anywhere, and you should be set to go. Hope to see you around!

i... honestly should look through the japanese part of youtube for pokemon remixes more often bc i have never heard any of these gems before and they're great holy shit I listed a bunch of them in the spoiler, but you should check out more of these videos because honestly they've really surprised me so far. It's nice to discover good artists tbh c:

rename your Game.rxdata file (which you can find under C:\Users\[USERNAME HERE]\Saved Games\Pokemon Reborn) to something else, and you should be able to play a new game without actually losing your old one. If you want to revert to your old file, just rename the new Game.rxdata the game created to something else and name your old file which you renamed back to Game.rxdata. Hope that helps!

Finished a commission for Zetaark! Some people from the roleplaying subforum may recognize these characters c: Thank you again for commissioning me!

They'll most likely be integrated into the game at some point. Things are still subject to change as the game isn't done with development entirely, and that goes for content that's not new in E17 as well, so there you have it c:

Eevees are done!

I finished my batch of sprites as well :] EDIT: Oh and please give me eevee and the eeveelutions next ty

Please actually post the shinies before claiming another set of Pokémon. They gotta be QC'd first c:

I think it's because Pokémon has a (most likely much) bigger fanbase, that fangames may create a bigger risk for the official games and their sales. What if fangames become more popular than the actual brand and become more attractive for people because 1) they're free to play and 2) they're better than the main series? With a big fanbase, news of it will spread much faster, and because the numbers of people who know about the games will be so big, it may actually truly influence the sales and popularity of the main series if such a thing gets out of hand. I'm not saying I agree with what they're doing of course, but from an objective standpoint I can definitely see why they'd be so wary of fangames.

dark pokemon rejuvenation show me the forbidden claimed legendary birds by me

Allow me to show you something. This was in the C&D notice for Prism. It's not an apology, but they do acknowledge the hard work people have put in their creations. Everything else that's been brought up in this message is also very relevant, however, so there's a very good reason as of why these things are happening to fangames. The removal of fangames of copyrighted nintendo brands that were nominated for the game awards were removed for this very same reason. It's a legal matter. And fangames happen to be extremely in the grey zone of legality-- ROM hacks much less so, and are definitely illegal. The way Nintendo responds is perfectly natural. Yes it sucks, and as someone who's also working on a fangame, of course I don't want my game to be shut down either-- But if it does happen, I will accept it. It's a risk people are taking by creating these games, and this is a risk people have to accept that they're taking. It's okay to be bitter about that someone else's work got shut down, especially if it's years of work. It's not fun, and I'm pretty sure the creators are saddened by this as well whenever such a thing happens, but it's a risk people are taking. You shouldn't be getting mad at Nintendo for trying to protect their brand even though it gets outclassed by fanworks often oops
