Where did you get the pokemon sprites from? Obviously you made the Gen 6 in-house, but what about Gen 1-5?

Also, why are your sprites in 32-bit color mode instead of 8-bit? It cuts the size in half from what I've seen, with no noticeable difference.

uh, gens 1-5 are from the main series. the rips are included with Essentials by default.

I just tested again to be sure and I don't see a size difference between saving as 32 or 8. That could be a difference in how GG handles saving files though, idk. Excepting massive tilesets, I do try to keep each file to 255 colors or less though for visual consistency, so I could easily switch them if I wanted. I don't want to, because 32 is easier to edit (especially when alphas get involved).

Also, recent versions of GG have had an absolutely heartbreaking glitch where certain graphics bug out when saved in 8-bit and get reduced to black and white + visual noise. That was especially frustrating when I was working Mega sprites, saved, and then found it was ruined and had to redo it. Happened multiple times.

Nonetheless I'm not really concerned about it because the entire Graphics folder for the game is only 25 MB. The game bulk comes from music, which I have taken to compressing (although most of the room gained from that was eaten up by animation sound effects, so total file size is at 450 MB right now)

--- As an after thought, I wonder if the engine would load 8-bit graphics faster though. If the file size doesn't change, then probably not. But hmm...

and lol at the old lady. Must be like one of those stereotypical mean old ladies who make a fuss over anything to keep themselves happy. Though wait, the city seriously fined you guys over that? That's incredibly stupid.

they did, and it wasn't the only time. the others were for different things but similarly stupid stuff like "fence too high" or something dumb, i can't remember the details.

Like that's just bonkers. what kind of city do you even live in for them to do that? I can understand if it was causing severe pest issues but it just seems incredibly petty and almost insulting considering that money is earned yet the city thinks freakin grass is worth a $1000 of that as fair punishment. Just sounds like a city/neighborhood filled with some incredibly anal people. I don't understand how your parent(s) even put up with it.

Most of you already answered who was your favorite character in the game, but I'm curious, why is it your fave?

So I said Aya & Noel... Aya just because the dynamic she has with both Cain and Hardy is plain brilliant, and leads to some of the funniest bits in game.

Noel just feels sorta cool. He's the reasonable 'normal' one of the group (I mean,as normal as the group gets. No pun intended.), but he still has moments where you know he's just a kid. Plus Normal & Poison are two of my three favourite types.

Question for all what do you think about new pokemon Magiana? :)

It's really adorable and I want one, but I'm sceptical. 'New Pokemon'? I mean, they named it, sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it being Mega Diance Z out of nowhere or something.

But mega pokemon still keep their names, so it's gotta be a new pokemon.

it is 100% not mega evolution but a new pokemon and this is what I think: Magiana fairy/steel, Diancie fairy/rock, ??? fairy/???

The city probably didn't mind. I'll bet their thought process went something like, "Man, this lady sure is a petty old crone. But eh, free money for us. *mails out a $1,000 fine*"

But in all seriousness, I hope that lady got SOME kind of comeuppance. Causing all that trouble for... what, exactly? Some sort of feeling of gratification?

Fake Mega Evolutions? Delta Pokemon?

Eh, I doubt we'll see either of those things, especially since we've already seen them in Insurgence. If anything, I'm sure Ame would want to use original ideas, rather than just copying what another inferior game has already done.

Will Ame use new pokemons in episode 19 if they come out? :)

That's a very, very situational type ordeal. If it's basically near the end and a whole bunch of Pokemon come out, do you really want to wait another year for what could take a single month to release? It's very, very doubtful at this point as we don't know what to be expecting since some things might have to be programmed in for new gimmick evolutions. It'd likely fall onto modders to update Reborn as it stands right now. I myself probably won't update it as it took basically 6 months to even get used to Gen VI and how it functioned and I'd just have to go through the same song and dance for Gen VII (though if it's only like 4 Pokemon plus more Megas...we'll see about it). It takes a lot longer now since GF no longer uses sprites in their games.

I really sort of inherently don't favor legendaries, but it's cute. If it weren't legendary I'd be all about it. Fairy type is best type after all.

That's not Reborn. We're not about that.

And even if we were, it wouldn't have come so late in the game.

She was a little off-kilter. She got busted for having hazardous materials in her home. Turns out she's the kind of lady you see on 'Hoarders'. Her living room was piled to the ceiling with junk, and just a very small path to walk through-- and that's just what we could see through the front door. Apparently deeper inside was much worse.

See gen VII questions.

Is it JUST budew or the ENTIRE line?

Just Budew. The rest of the line is great, I'm totally a fan.

I'm guessing she inevitably got buried in a junkalanche? More than a few hoarders have perished that way.

How does eating/tasting work with ZEL? As in, let's say that Lumi and Eve like chocolate, but Zero doesn't. Would it taste good or bad, and would each of them taste it differently or would it taste the same for all of them since they have one tongue?

They're all in Zero's body, so I think that he's in charge of physical feelings. While he might be a broccoli lover, I think the other girls could be mentally disgusted everytime they're eating it?

Wow. It's confusing to have 3 minds in one body.

Or maybe each one of the personalities feels their way, so the one that's in charge at the moment feels their own sensations.

It's like, say, three people are in a car and the one at the wheel decides to go to a road full of potholes bc they love the pothole sensation, or a very bendy way. And they like it, but the passengers do not.

Diagonial walking? How possible is it? :D Well technically its already happening when u walk up some stairs...

Also i watched some of the sprites making, and .... well .. u are heroes... since this is not some rom hack, but RPG maker, wouldnt it be easier to use the sugimori artwork as a base? (i dont know the limitations of RPG maker)

I'm fairly certain that will be never. The reason why the stairs have that happen is due to coding pushing the character up and over so in that case you don't even have control.
