Pokemon Battler Sprites

I don't have anything yet, but after seeing the state of some of the battler sprites within the current version of essentials, I've decided to take the sprites from Sun and Moon, via bulbapedia, and convert them to use in essentials. This is going to take a long time due to the amount of images I have to download, but once I have them done and working right in my game, I'll post my converted battler sprites on here.

I don't know about the rest of you, but if this works, I'm never going to use the older gen 3 battler sprites again.

Smogon has 2 projects for turning the 3D models from XYORAS and SM/USUM into 5th gen sprites, free to use with credit. You should take a look.

While I do appreciate the efforts that person has done for those sprites, that wasn't what I was looking for. It sounds like he is only doing gen 6 and 7 pokemon. I want to do Gen 1-5, and replace the old gen 3 sprites within Essentials.

I've grown sick of looking at pixelated gen 3 pokemon and I want better quality ones. So I'm making an effort to replace bulbasaur through Genesect in Essentials for the higher quality sprites used in Sun and Moon.

then what about static rips of the pokemon from BW/B2W2?

and if you want the animated versions I believe you can just download S.J. Luka's Elite Battle System.

I will look at that more when I get home. I have begun downloading sun and moon sprites for conversion into essentials.

Sun and Moon don't use sprites, they use 3D-Models. And those will look awful in a 2D-Game.

Well that's disappointing. I wanted to use those.

If you still want to try them, I believe Mej71 has a download link for them converted into animated sprites.

well i've run into another problem. And it's one I should've seen coming. I have carefully looked at the EBS system Luka SJ has made, and I want to use it in my game. However, it has not yet been made compatible with V. 17 of essentials. I'm not surprised by this, but it's a mistake I should've seen coming. oops. Now if I want to use it, I have to downgrade to an earlier version.

Or wait a bit.

Exactly. That's what I intend on doing. But I'm concerned my game will get messed up if I attempt to install the Ebs system after I've made significant progress within the engine.

If anyone wants to read my game idea, I welcome critisicm. It's in the progressing games forum. Pokemon academy.
