How do you not understand the role of one person being the spriter?
Zephyer you mentioned malachite.
Did you ever see the dex for malachite?
None of the sprites styles were identical to one another and they all looked out of place.
Having one spriter you have one style and they will all look the same.
I understand completely where fang is on this idea.

It's not like the sprites are the biggest part to.
They don't all need to be done right away.
You still have mapping, eventing, scripting, designing. And everything else.

Kanga is the one who doesn't want another spriter, but I agree fully that consistency is very important. Show me someone who mimics his style perfectly and I'll refer their work to him but he's stubborn ;) He's also been with the project since the beginning, essentially so he's not bailed on me yet. And he's graduated from college/uni :P

It has been slow but that's more due to the redesign process than anything.

I understand your views and frustrations though guys. Don't get me wrong, these aren't easy decisions to make with regard to how many spriters to take on! My problem is that spriters all want the same job: the Pokémon. Other areas have been neglected altogether, whereas the Pokémon sprites are in relatively good health.

I didn't mean that I didn't understand the idea of one person being the spriter... -_- Obviously, there are people out there who can make identical sprites and mimic one's spriting style, and therefore faster production, so I don't know why you're against the opinion of ZephyrPlusle and I :P I meant that I don't understand why there is one spriter when there are many out there who are great style emulators.

But anyway, we shouldn't get into a whole argument about this. As soon as I saw Charlie say that Kanga's graduated from college/university and he actually prefers him being the sole spriter, I was like "r u seriuz?". xD

This is my first time seeing your thread and I must say its very impressive. I really like the progress you have made so far and the screens are fantastic. I can't wait until I play it because I'm sure with the effort presented here that I won't be the least bit disappointed! :D

Anyone who dug up and downloaded that old demo will have no sympathy from me when they play it. What a disaster!

Quick newsflash, we have overcome one of our main scripting hurdles for the demo thanks to the generosity of Wichu and we're another big step closer. Additionally, we have a new member of staff by the name of Valkari Knight who will be providing us with an array of new graphics:
