I took the sprite of Treecko in PkMn Ruby and create a new pokemon form scratch. The back is the same color as the original (purple or green) and the outlines are black. Then I save the new sprite on the rom. But when I see it playing... The lines of the sprite are messed up... They are white and not black anymore
Can someone help please? Thanks

Maybe the color you used for the outline was the background one.

1. The backsprite should always be shiny, in the game it won't be.

2. The sprite has to have the same number of pixels as the Gary one.

In Paint, the background was the purple one and I used Black for the outlines and with another sprite, the bg was green and I used once again black for outline and result was the same.. 0.o

I'm also trying to figure this out, I'm having trouble putting Aruseus (the Steel type version mainly) in my hack for some time now. With either using Pokepic or Unlz GBA it won't work, either the colors are messed up (Pokepic), or there are those glitchy lines on the bottom of the images (Unlz). I would really like to know if there is an indexed Aruseus sprite (again, the Steel type can be good), Sprihacknet doesn't have all of the D/P Pokemon (and I need indexed Aruseus sprites). It will be much appreciated if there's somewhere that has all of the D/P Pokemon indexed.

You have to save the pic you want to edit. Paste your pic in the pic. Color the backround as the original pic ones. Than import it.

Actually I don't know how to make indexed sprite. It means the Pics you import aren't "registered" in the game.

for ruby, the hoenn pokemon start at around 964, so bulbasaur should be around 462, but I have a question, I try changing the front sprite of the 3 starters, but it doesn't work but the back sprites work, but also, the front and back sprites work for their evolutions though.
