    Hello there! I am making a Pokemon Colosseum remake/sequel - and I love that Shadow Pokemon are in Game. However, I need some assistance.

    How to I enable the "Enters the Battlefield" animation for Shadow Pokemon?
    And how do I enable to "Auto Colourisation" for Shadow Pokemon (Turning them Purple - I haven't made every new sprite yet.)

  • For your first question I believe you just need an animation called "Common:Shadow"

    For the second, this was once upon a time in essentials, I'm not sure if it was removed or if this is just a bug, but either way I can't help you here because I haven't really looked into the shadow pokemon script.

  • shadow pokemon sprites have _shadow at the end of their names and are placed in the same folder as other in battle pokemon sprites.

    i don't think there is anything that automatically does it sadly

    It was removed because it conflicted with other features. I forget what exactly, though.

    My preference of shadow colouring is applying a layer of 96,32,255 at a transparency of 128 over the original sprite. That's at least good for starters.

    Oh Ok. That should be good.

    Is there a way to blanket edit that onto Gifs? Apply a layer that affects all other layers?
    I downloaded the animation from the Wiki - but how to I add it? It doesn't appear at the moment.
