You need to have at least 15 posts before you can post links or images.

This project..everything...looks beautiful. Chaos Rush you deserve something for all your hard work you put into your sprites. Not only that, but also for your research (along with Jambo51) in your Pokemon Ruby 649 patch. I applaud you for everything you have done for the hacking community.

Sadly, what sucks is that I can't get your sprites, or any for that matter, to appear in Wichu's Sprite Editor or in-game. All I get is a bunch of pixels in-game.

Also there are pixel inconsistencies between your normal and shiny sprites. Are you recoloring them by hand? There's a special flawless method of recoloring that works much better than recoloring pixel by pixel, which I'm assuming you did.

I'm sorry my sprite wasn't good enough...I thought it might've been a little small, and it'd no doubt look better if you did it, instead of me. The pixel inconsistencies are probably because I'd make the sprites, think they were done, make the shiny versions, and then find a place I messed up, and I would then try to edit both shiny and normal at the same time, disastrous in it of itself. I don't really color by hand; I take the non-shiny sprite, put it next to the original shiny sprite, left click the color i want changed, right click on the corresponding color on the shiny, and use the eraser tool. Is there another way?

Also, I've decided that my mediocrity is proving to be more a hassle to you than anything...If you're gonna end up just resizing front sprites and fixing my back sprites, then I haven't really accomplished anything. I'm glad I was able to help contribute in some way, at least.

PS: o-o I can't believe you actually adjusted Stoutland's sprite like I suggested...I wasn't actually expecting anything, to be honest.

I just ran Dusknoir's sprite through Wichu's sprite editor and tested it out in a FireRed rom, and it looks absolutely beautiful. I took a couple screenshots for good measure, which you can find right here. Also please ignore the renamed Rattata in the second screenshot, I haven't gotten a sprite for its replacement yet. :V

But anyway, I've got more important things to say besides Dusknoir's sprite looking beautiful, I wanted to report that Persian's sprites are now finished.

I personally think it came out pretty good, but it can always be fixed and touched up. Chaos Rush, please let me know if the front sprite is too large, as I had resized it so that it fits on a 64x64 sprite, rather than resizing it to 80% like I did with the back sprite. Meowth should be on the way, followed by the fixed Archeops. I plan on rounding out the tail a little bit, rather than having it look blocky as it does now.

Actually, that's the "special method" I was talking about. I wrongly assumed you used a different method because of the pixel inconsistencies.

Actually you've helped. You saved me most of the work with the Cyndaquil line's backsprites, and resizing front sprites takes a shorter amount of time than backsprites IMO, so any help with sprites, regardless being front or back is appreciated

You are correct that the front sprites should not be resized 80%. However, one huge problem is that you didn't resize the front sprite with equal aspect ratio to the original - you just horizontally squished it, and it looks bad.

As for the backsprite, I'm afraid there is no nice way for me to say this, so please take the following as merely constructive criticism: The backsprite looks REALLY sloppy. There are so many problems that I simply can't name them.


Also for anyone that is reading this, don't even bother making shiny versions of your sprites, since if I say it looks good and I'll use it, 100% of the time I'm going to end up editing it anyway.

[SkieTheKitsune]

Points taken. I kinda assumed that the backsprite would be bad, and that's justified. As I've stated before, I'm not a sprite artist (nor am I a regular artist, but that's beside the point). But hey, I tried, and you can't blame a guy for trying. :V

Thanks for the constructive criticism, at any rate. Methinks I'll be sitting out for the rest of this.

idk if this is good enough quality but im happy with it, feel free to add it to your resource if you'd like.

[Jappa]

Your backsprites look amazing! My hat's off to you I know how long it takes to make them.
I'm planning on releasing a patch with all the Kanto Pokémon with updated sprites (HG/SS, B/W etc.)
All the front sprites are done but the backsprites take a really long time.
I'm doing about 30/40 a day and I still have 80 left.

Btw here's the backsprite of Persian from my Kanto project:

Oh, wow, that's leagues better than mine, and it definitely shows. Kudos to you, sir.

[fakebishop]

erm, i have make a rayquaza sprite, thought it should be quite nice since i make it pixies by pixies, hopes it will help...
it is indexed already, you can insert it into rom directly via unLZ
actually it's make for Emerald，you can just delete the second frame if you do a ruby/fire red project

I'm just wondering, but why did you re-position the backsprite? And why did you remove the outlining technique that's used in the D/P/Pt/HG/SS backsprites? Also I stated in the rules that you shouldn't make shiny sprites, since 100% I will edit it anyways, so making shiny sprites is absolutely useless, since I will edit the normal sprite and have to recolor it to shiny anyways.

Sorry, but it says in the rules that you HAVE to use the sprite from the sheet I posted. In the sheet of Gen III Pokemon thats on the first post, I have B/W Rayquaza, not D/P Rayquaza. And yes, I specifically mentioned in the rules that Rayquaza is allowed to have a custom sprite, but the D/P sprite does not count as a "custom" sprite, not to mention the D/P sprite is horrible.

[fakebishop]

opps very sorry, i didn't mention that... cause i'm actually not on this project, just i have done it post it here... erm, very sorry
now is the latios sprite, just indexed to 64*64, since you will change the palette this and that, so i remain it in 25 colour... again, hope it will help...

Well then can use some editing..
If you approve this I could give you more.. :)
But I'll only work on Gen 1-3 :)

...64x64 thread (or 128x64) if you have front and back together)... :/ just saying when you look at them normally they're far too small and when you click they are 82x82 (or 164x82) so I think they're pretty useless to Chaos unless he wants to re-size them himself.

anyway chaos I'm not sure if I can sprite too well but if i get round to re-sizing anything or get any ideas I'll be sure to tell you first good luck

[tajaros]

Well he said on the thread that all gen 1 pokemon that should be the same size as the ones he have..

Well I saw it was 82x82 I'll try and make new ones...

[Rodriguezjames55]

can you do a pawniward and bisharp soon my pawniward look like crap and bisharps not the best

No. I said all Pokemon from Gen I-III should be resized from the sprite sheets I posted. And I said most Pokemon that fit in a 40x40 limit do not need to be resized.

[mewmasterify]

Hey Chaos Rush you can use Mewtwo sprite if you want

[cmbeke]

decided to try my hand at this, here's a resized raticate

Not trying to say I know here, but Chaos Rush said not to do shiny palettes with them. And just noticed, your Mewtwo has nipples O.o

EDIT: And no backsprite >.>

[Shucklin]

Are you going to do gens 1 2 and 3 with the updated sprites or are the sprites supposed to accomodate the ones made by nintendo?

That actually doesn't look bad, except I've already done Mewtwo's front sprite. I just haven't posted it yet, sorry.

That looks absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, I've already done Raticate's sprite, I just haven't posted it yet.

I am making 64x64 versions of DS sprites for all 649 Pokemon. Did you even look at the first post?

[cmbeke]

I'm going to assume that you have gen i done and you maybe started on gen ii, so here's something from the middle of gen iii to be safe

Actually I don't have Gen I done, but I'm planning on doing all of it anyways, so its smart to do Gen II-III. And I've barely started on Gen II, and the only Gen III sprites I've done are all Deoxys formes.

From what I can tell, they look pretty good. Although Wiznatts already did Cacturne's front. But anyways, I'll remember this post and get around to assembling them into sheets when I have time.
