[SOLVED] Additional SPRITE_* added to map always appears as player character.

[Th3Element05]

I have no idea why the SPRITE_OAK I've added to PalletTown.asm is showing up as the player character

I've added cont PALLETTOWN_OAK at the top.

    object_const_def
    const PALLETTOWN_TEACHER
    const PALLETTOWN_FISHER
    const PALLETTOWN_OAK

And I've added an object_event SPRITE_OAK at the bottom.

    def_object_events
    object_event  3,  8, SPRITE_TEACHER, SPRITEMOVEDATA_WANDER, 2, 2, -1, -1, 0, OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT, 0, PalletTownTeacherScript, -1
    object_event 12, 14, SPRITE_FISHER, SPRITEMOVEDATA_WALK_LEFT_RIGHT, 2, 0, -1, -1, PAL_NPC_GREEN, OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT, 0, PalletTownFisherScript, -1
    object_event 10,  5, SPRITE_OAK, SPRITEMOVEDATA_STANDING_UP, 0, 0, -1, -1, 0, OBJECTTYPE_SCRIPT, 0, ObjectEvent, EVENT_OAK_IN_PALLET_TOWN

But the sprite shows up as the player character with Oak's brown coloring.
I've tried switching the sprite to SPRITE_SUPER_NERD to troubleshoot, and it still showed up as the player character, but this time with a blue coloring.

I know the sprite for SPRITE_OAK works correctly in the game in-general, because when I walk into the OaksLab map, Oak is standing there with his appropriate sprite.

I added the SPRITE_SUPER_NERD to Oaks Lab, and it shows up properly there...

UPDATE: If I set the sprite to SPRITE_TEACHER or SPRITE_FISHER, they show up properly.
I can only assume that only certain sprites are loaded for the PalletTown map, but I can't find anywhere where that would be specified elsewhere in the disassembly...

UPDATE2: I added SPRITE_OAK to Route 1, he looks like the player character there too.
I added new sprites for both Giovanni and a variable sprite Looker according to this tutorial:

I added both of them to Pallet Town, they both look like the player character.
I added both of them to New Bark Town, and they still look like the player character there, too.

I found what I was missing.
\data\maps\outdoor_sprites.asm

The sprites that were not showing properly were not defined in the list of sprites for that map group.
