Indexing Sprites

[Kronos1000]

Please help me, I indexed a Turtwig sprite and it looks great if I say so myself (Yes this is Emerald so I edited the animation too):

Although its backsprite is messed up and yes, I did use the shiny backsprite:

Is there a way to fix it without having to dit it all by hand, that'll take time and the result will suck. :(

I resize it to 64 by 64, make it 16 color mode, and make a transparent background.
I save it as a png, bitmap 16 color but when i try to import the image to unzl gba it says it is not indexed. Do i need to save it as a gif image bor something or do i need to decrease the size to 10kb or less for it to be indexed?

Thanks, this is really helpful.
Now I know what programs to use. :)

sorry if I revived this, but I found it in a search. I'm trying to index a sprite I drew in Macromedia Flash, then opened it in Paint, then saved it as a PNG and opened it in Ifranview. After that I followed the steps, and it STILL says the image isn't indexed.

What did I do wrong?

I do everything in this tutorial and then I press Write To Rom, I get this error...
"Compressed size is: 160. Which is to big. Aborting"
What is wrong?

Edit:
The guy above me posted 1 min before me and he has the same problem.
Can someone help?

i did all the steps, and it says "Compressed size is 2AC: Too big. Aborting...." Also, when I import the sprite, it has a bunch of weird colors in the palette, although it still has the correct colors on the top row.

weird.. 3 of the same problems in a row

I don't know about you guys, because it worked for me.

edit: It only works on the front sprites. The back sprites get aborted.

The colors in front sprite do not match the colrs in the shiny sprite, so you have to reorder the pallete of shiny sprite to match exactly the colors in the front sprite.

[mattattack]

can you do the same thing with this on OW sprites?

 

[Mario_Bones]

Um... What do you do if it says the sprite is too big?
I tried redirecting to free space, but then when I chose that Pokemon in the game, it reset...

 

[Chary]

[Dratii]

I did all of the steps but when I load up my game and find the pokemon it is just a blue screen and freezes.
