    [PokeCommunity.com] Best sprite insertion tool?


    April Fools thing is annoying, so I screenshotted.
     
    what i mean is when i insert the image the palettes are all messed up. do i have to manually edit them?
     
    It shouldn't be messed up, are you sure your sprites are indexed and you've clicked update pallete or something. I know it indexs them itself but I find that sometimes it just gives you 16 shades of the most prominent colour if your image has too many colours.

    The problem is that you did not synchronize your palettes. Also, if you import single sprites rather than 256x64 it has problems. I'd make a 256x64 image of all 4 versions of your sprite, make it indexted, MAKE SURE YOUR BACKGROUND COLOR IS FIRST, then click 'import all'. Then synchronize palettes.
     
    Interesting. I haven't made my backsprites just yet, drawing 151 pokemon was difficult enough, that's the thing. Also I haven't made alternate colors for the shiny palettes. However, I may not make those anyway. Would it be fine to use two sprites with the same colors? So basically no shiny colors.

    Yep that is actually what I did for a lot of fakemon I inserted, since I was too lazy to make shiny forms for each one (at least for now). If you want to test but don't have your backsprites yet, you could just make a 256x64 with all four of them front sprites, again just for testing that it works.

    Know how you feel, I had to do front back and a second frame for the animation. Took me months.

    You need icons with two frames, which is why it is 32x64. I'll PM you a link to all gen1-5 icons in the proper format, if you want.

    Can you tell me where to find Gen. 4-5 icons? I used to have them, but, somehow, it got deleted.
