Pokémon Sword and Shield versions are out now, starting from the Eastern part of the world... So we're now free to post images related to the game...
To start with, here's a rescaled icon sprite sheet from the game itself... The original sprite sheet is scaled twice the "proper size", instead of 1 pixel per dot (or whatever it is actually called, there are 4 pixels for a single dot... So here's a rescaled version down to it's "proper size":
But we can only use the following as is (no resize needed, just needs palette swap and 2nd frame):
- Thwackey
- Skwovet
- Rookidee
- Corvisquire
- Nickit
- Gossifleur
- Wooloo
- Yamper
- Applin
- Silicobra
- Arrokuda
- Toxel
- Sizzlipede
- Clobbopus
- Sinistea
- Hatenna
- Hattrem
- Impidimp
- Morgrem
- Milcery
- Pincurchin
- Snom
- Cufant
- Dreepy
- Galarian Meowth
- Galarian Ponyta
- Galarian Corsola
- Galarian Zigzagoon
- Galarian Linoone
- Galarian Darumaka
- Galarian Yamask
The rest needs to be resized down...
There are more icons there which can fit inside the 32x32 limit but are too large in comparison to other icons we already have from Gen. 7 and from the resource threads for Gen. 1-6... They have to be resized a bit (around 80%-90% of the original size)...
Those which cannot fit and has hydrocephalic heads need custom icons but has to be closely similar to the pose of the original icons (minus hydrocepahic heads) as much as possible...
You can use the icons we have for Gen. 7 and from the resource threads for Gen. 1-6 as a reference as to how huge each species' icons should be... Galarian forms not in the above list (e.g. Galarian Rapidash, etc.) should have similar size as the original forms...
Also, you are familiar with the palette limits of GBA games which is only selected between 3 palette sets... Here are the sets:
So yes, those who wants to submit icons, you may now... Prioritize the icons from the above list...
