Looks really cool. The pokemon quick switching is a good idea. (I say that because I have one like it in my game too :P).
The game is looking great and I'm sure it will play great too. Good job so far. Nice update.
 
Wow! So there was a problem...

Anyway, I posted a new form for Chatot. It doesn't look very different but, take note it was made from scratch!

adamb241: It does freeze. I edited it after making the animation to make it clearer.
The Smell: It's OK for a scratch. However, I can see some mistakes:
The lines. Some are too thick - keep them at 1 pixel. Also, too many are black - use darker shades of colour. Finally, they are too straight - they need to look more curved.
Second, there aren't enough colours - you seem to have reused the DP palette. Advance sprites usually have 4 shades of each colour - highlight, base, shadow and line. Since you're not limited to 16 colours, use all those choices.
Thirdly, the shapes: Try not to use the shape tools, but if you do, use shading in the lines. Its head looks a little off; move it across a bit. And its eye is circular on your sprite - it should be circular.
When I sprite, I usually hand-draw a picture, scan it, resize, and go over the lines. As both the people who tried have had problems with Chatot, I'll sprite Chatot myself.
If you want to help, please choose a DP Pokémon you know you can do perfectly; I don't want anything less for the game.
Feel free to do backsprites too. Just make sure the lines/colours/shading is in Advance style, since DP and Advance style sprites clash.
 
Just some thoughts and ideas: The hair on the trainer below is equally shiney at all times of the day. Not to be picky but it looks odd. Your bearcub has too much color contrast for shadow/light too. It looks synthetic-thread shiney rather than natural-fur shiney, you know?

I think you said you were working on it somewhere but the three shadow species in your opening vid have rough coloring. Their color splotches look like you weren't quite sure when to stop coloring and make it black again. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right. anyway, just constructive criticism, nothing personal. Want to see this be successful. :)

You story-line sounds like a diamond-pearl copy and basically replaces all the legendaries of that game with new pokemon that fill the same roles. just saying.

Item ideas: Comfort blanket: rare item that induces friendship evolutions upon levelling up. If i come up with another before the next post in this thread I'll just edit, otherwise I'll post again

Falling Star: Sure, we could do with another designer! Can you make scratch sprites?
Yuoaman: How about this?

Anyway, I'm going to be using day-night tinting in battle too. Screens:

And finally, we don't need designers any more. However, I am looking for spriters to sprite the DP Pokémon in Advance style (like Shinx in the screenshots). This is because the DP sprites use a different style from the Advance sprites, and I'm sticking with Advance for this game.
The sprites should be at least as good as my sprites, and should be in 64x64 resolution, scaled up to 128x128. I will not accept simple resizes of DP sprites, as they have a different style. I need backsprites too.
Well, thanks for the replies!

Giganormous Post Since I've Been Out of the Loop

Note: I can't sprite, and my pre-evos always suck. I am just dumping some of the ideas that have been spinning in my head.

Once Again, Note: I just realized I still have to work on the second one I posted. When I finish it, ill finish it here.
