[Starshinypichu ukeele]

For those of you complaining about my shadow sprites, I'm going on overhaul making some of these. Here is a sample of whats to come, shadow quilava.

And Bayleef

And Croconaw

Enjoy. Comments and criticisms appreciated.

Have you made them catchable, or is that something you need to implement?

 

[BobTheImam]

Take a guess :P .

Honestly not even sure how I would, but I'm sure I will find a way.

 

[Swift Weavile]

This hack... i'm interested to see how it will go. potential...great risk.

 

[bobandbill]

Huh. Interesting concept. Good luck with it, I wouldn't mind testing it out and seeing how well you matched it to the game I know only too well. ;p

Honestly I preferred the Shadow aura than the recolouring being used. In part because canonically Lugia (XD001) was the only shadow Pokemon to actually get the change, and part of the story has to do with only Rui being able to recognise that Pokemon are Shadow due to seeing auras - if they changed colour like that so everyone could see then that flys in the face of the game script itself.

I will agree that based on the shots there of e.g. Phenac city you'd need to rethink the titles used (and although one said custom aren't needed and I won't pretend I know much about map design, that may help in replicating what Phenac city looked like with all of its water features).

I like the potential that I'm seeing with this game. However, for the shadow sprites, the coloring is too bland. If you want to go that route, I suggest shading them with different shades of purple in order to make the sprite look more professional. If you need any help recoloring them, feel free to message me!

Not bad, not bad. There's definitely improvement going on here. But if you're gonna shadow-ify a sprite, at least change the entire color scheme. The green rings around Bayleef look out of place when they're the only green in a sea of purple. :P

I don't like how the shadows turned out..
But hey, I have this Bayleef shadow I recolored. You can use it if you want.

EDIT:
I recolored the Quilava and Croconaw too ^^

This is a perfect example of recoloring. The Shadow Pokemon sprites for this hack should follow a similar scheme like this.

I agree. But maybe a little aura to add would be better.

 

[BobTheImam]

Lol I give up. Either one of you guys can do this for me or we will stick with what I've got. You art people are too picky xD , I am a kid who took Art History to avoid doing any sort of art in high school lmao.

@Saturnus The recoloring is not very different from the actual thing. I like how it looks a lot, but something needs to be done to further distinguish it, such as what other people were suggesting of an aura or something. If one were to have never played pokemon or not played it for a while they would mistake those ones to be what the regular pokemon look like.

Hey another thing. Do I keep Rui in this game or not? She really doesn't serve a purpose in my opinion, what do you all think?

I don't think so, I know this is a replica of Colloseum, but let's think, did Liquid Crystal and Crystal Dust ( remakes of Crystal ) keep everything? no they took out things and added new ones, I think you should put yourown spin on coloseum, make it something to be remebered

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

But in the actual game, she DID have a purpose. Admittedly one you can move to something else, but she was the original one who could see which were Shadow Pokemon, as well as the reason for knowing to go to Agate Village, and the initial rescue

but do you really think it's gonna be easy to impliment her saying "oh that pokemon is shadow" in battle?

 

[BobTheImam]

Or having her follow you around, heard there was a lot of issues having it move from map to map and whatnot.
Oh and I screwed up the intro screen, could somebody whose good at it fix it?

You didn't make a backup?

 

[BobTheImam]

I forgot, my last one is quite a bit old if i remember correctly. Whoops lol.

I have till this day since August 1, 2012, 581 backups. I try to make a few backups a day even when I did no work on the rom. Lol, haha xD. That is because ONE simple hex edit can easily alter your game or a tool could have randomly bug out.
Anyways, what is the problem with your title screen? What was the very last thing you did to your rom?
Maybe you inserted something into free space near your title screen data?
