VM'd because I'm afraid that talking in the GDW thread will escalate, and I'm not trying to flamebait (...much... I guess Delta's rubbed off on me or something. You probably don't know Delta, though...)
Yeah. So. Wasn't trying to bash you or your game or anything, of course, but if that's how it looked, I apologize but I can't change it now. :/ The sprites-before-art thing is my personal opinion and suggestion (hence, the fact that it's in the "protip" section), and if you want to keep doing it the way you're doing, go right ahead. *shrug*
About the old fakes thing; I get that too, with Uranium, and I've come to realize that no matter how good your new fakes are, you'll always be called out on the old ones, and be obliged to use it as an excuse. Excuses excuses. Whatever. I get that the tigers aren't an accurate representation of your designing prowess now, but they're still in your Dex lineup, so. Whether you change them or not, though, is up to you.
...Oh dear, natter. Haha. xD Well, there's my rebuttal. You're welcome for the mention, by the way; I was intentionally trying to call out other games that have sort of fallen under the radar. (...Did I talk about Scarlet at all? No? Man, what a case of Sugi-itis those guys have... Trading card game, honestly! When was the last time they released a screenshot? *grumble grumble*)
