This may be in the wrong forum. If it is, I don't care. It means a lot to me. I'm the real author of the Sinnoh Badge Sprites that you see on those pokecharms Trainer Cards - believe it or not.
Edit: Oh ok it was moved lol thankyou.
The story goes like this:
Back in my old forum (neoseeker) 2 years ago, we were running a D/P/Pt styled Trainer Card Contest. I made the badges for it. Then someone sent me like a million PMs begging for the badges. I was like "Uhhh whatever", so I gave them to him and told him not to share them. But he did. They spread all across the forum, and pretty soon to Serebii.net forums, where I found someone that had a trainer card with MY SPRITES! Then about a week or so later I went on this cool-looking site called PokeCharms, looking for info on Pokemon Battle Revolution. I noticed they had a Trainer Card Generator, so I thought "What the hell, I might as well do it." Then at the badge selection screen they had MY GODDAMN BADGE SPRITES! I was so pissed off that I logged in to the forum there, and started a thread and explained everything. Then some prickhead Moderator by the name of Sem posted the day after. He did not listen to me - all he did was assume that I was just a little kid trying to get credit for something that they reckon THEY MADE. He call me an attention whore and locked the thread.
From that day on, I have had a vendetta against Pokecharms, but It didn't worry me for a few months afterwards when I quit NeoSeeker for a bit. Then I seen those sprites on a Trainer Card that was on a completely different site - that wasn't even related to Pokemon! Everytime I see them, I rip a strand of hair out. It's UNBEARABLE, they're mine. They could at least give me some freaking credit! I worked my arse off to make those sprites - over 5 hours nonstop!
I don't think I've made a Trainer Card for at least 6 months, and It has helped me. Spriting is not the way to go people, ROM HACKING FOR THE FREAKING WIN!!! Why play when you can create your own game? Ingenious!
I hope people see this and take off their stupid pokecharms Trainer Cards from their Signatures. On one card I noticed they didnt even spell Trainer right. No i! When I made Trainer Cards, I would never allow that to ever happen! Back at Neoseeker I used to be up there with the best - but now a new age of 12 year old fanboys has arisen, and of course, not only my sprites, but my Trainer Card Templates were ripped as well. I told the guy afterwords that it was my template, so he gave me credit for the Template, but not the Badges. I just hope my Templates don't get stolen as well...
I hope you enjoyed reading about my pain and suffering. I hope I didn't turn you emo.
