Dude, you're the best when it comes to spriting, love your pancham sprite, and others new gen 6 Pokemon, i hope you make another sprite when other gen 6 Pokemon come out! :D
Maybe the upcoming Pokemon X and Y, or the new Pokemon Episode N opening, or something else could help you get motivated again. Maybe even a fiction currently being planned by me.
Hey I've just been poking around Sideshow Showcase and came across your Fire Red Challenger version. Couldn't find a download link though, and I was also wondering how much of the game you had changed? cheers
Yeah, true on both accounts. Only thing that kinda sucks is no one seems interested in the project, no one's replied since when you initially discovered it. I get why, 'cause there are a bunch of 386 minor edit hacks, but, I feel like I'm going through more efforts than most of these types of projects, haha. I may as well start working on my Ruby2/Sapphire2 concept. After finishing this hack I was gonna juggle between that and DarkCopper. Although for R2S2, I was gonna wait 'til Jambo finished the 649 patch and patch it over a copy of Challenge Mode so I don't have to re-decapitalize everything, haha.
Sounds good to me. I guess I need to realize that most people don't care what's official or canon in the Pokémon universe when making hacks.
As for the old man creeper in Celadon, I don't think you need to change anything. I thought it was pretty clear that that's what he was doing in the game. I'm actually surprised that this little detail was kept in the U.S. version in the game!
Sounds like you're making good progress. As for de-censoring Jynx...I'm not sure how I feel about that. I personally never had any problems with it, but there might be some out there who (still) do. The big issue at hand with me, though, is that it goes against what Game Freak now accepts as a critical design feature for this particular Pokémon.
As always, feel free to go on with what you feel is best. I'm probably just way too nit-picky or perfectionistic than most others on this site! :D
That's good to hear that you're going through with giving the entire game a DS makeover, as opposed to just battle sprites. The Poké Ball graphics change is a welcome one.
A couple of comments on the new backsprites, though. First off, what's with Red's awkward slumping posture? I really can't tell at all what position he's supposed to be in. And Leaf's hat seems a bit squished. The base detailing and style look appropriate, though.
The altered Blue sprite looks alright, nothing a little bit of touching up can't fix.
