Hello friends. I've been trying to modify the FR/LG trainer backsprite to change the head, but am having trouble rendering a convincing bandanna with a knot at the back. I feel like I need a reference or some kind of help to get this right. Here is what I have so far And here is my reference...

Wait, I don;t understand why the early battles are slow.. I mean, obviously if you tested it and that's how it was, I can't argue with that, but if your attacking stats as well as the defending stats are raised equally, (or to a similar standard) shouldn't that balance out?

IMO difficulty in Pokemon games is at its best when you are exactly the same level as the opponents. All my personal playthroughs use level limits to stop me going above the level of the next gym leader's highest pokemon. So I think this solution would work in that sense. But you're right about...

Oshawott's my favourite gen 5 pokemon :)

Thinking about this, I get a different impression; though I have only been a member of this community for (like) a week, so maybe my perceptions wil change with exposure. I think most hack players play Pokemon hacks for meta-reasons. Mainly, community. They play hacks because doing so makes them...

The active distinction in this discussion is that between practice and principle. You seem to be talking about principle: there's nothing wrong with a speaking protagonist, as long as it works. But that isn't a particularly controversial statement. Of course as long as it works, in principle...

I don't like it when the protagonist talks. It's jarring and against the spirit of roleplaying - which, for me, is why I love Pokemon. Something you can do, though, is have other characters imply that the protag has communicated something. I'm sure that in GF games NPCs say things like: "What...

From what little I have seen, the problem with bad hacks isn't a lack of creativity. Actually, the worst hacks are often made by people who seem to be the most creative. They have a lot of ideas and they're eager to implement them. They have too many ideas, really. In fact, I think the...

The Patterrz? :)

I can't see your image. I think it's broken, but realistically you'll need to learn to do this yourself, anyway, right? What image editor are you using? You can do it in Gimp or IRfan View, and probably others. In Gimp go to image > mode > indexed, then type in 16 where it says maximum number...

I used NSE Classic and got my OW into the game, but by inserting my own palette for use, it not only changed the palette for the female protag but the male one, too. Is this because they both use the same palette? Can you not add a new palette into the game to avoid this?

Hi fellas. I'm thinking of making a hack and have been working on an overworld sprite, but I don't really know what dimensions I should be working with, as I've never done this before, What size does it need to be? Is there a strict rule on proportions otherwise the game won't accept the...

Hello, Spherical Ice! I was very taken with your hack Pokemon Gaia; I haven't played many but yours strikes me as the best I've tried yet. I specifically wanted to thank you for the scripting and story work you did; I felt as immersed as I would in any Gamefreak original creation. In particular...
