It says that I cannot post a link to another website until I have made 15 posts... oh well, only one more to go :D

EDIT:

Thats what happens :(

That's because the background isn't the purple colour, it's black. Open the image (try IrfanView) and edit the palette (replace the purple colour with the black that's for the background). The colours will be changed so you'll have to make the sprite like it was before. When you're done insert it and it will be okay.

Aah... and then I set it too black? Hope this works...

EDIT: Uh... changing the palette does absolutely nothing to the sprite :S

Um, care to elaborate? What ROM are you using? If all of your sprites are messed up, you'd best be off starting over with a clean rom. And, what does 777 have to do with any of this?

Try opening your ROM again and see if the pokémon's palettes are fine.
If they're still messed up then your ROM is probably corrupted, try another one.

has anyone tested if there's a way to use the d/p sprites in the gba games?

To insert D/P sprites in GBA ROMs you have to make the sprite smaller and index it.
Then insert it and it should be fine.
