Rache

As for why I didn't follow the designs... I didn't have internet access at the time (on a train) and designing them is half the fun. I might edit bits and pieces to closer resemble the ones you posted though - there are some parts that I rather like. Will uncover the eyes today - not sure why I did that in the first place. I guess it just kinda happened. As for the bright pink, that was based on Pidgey's canonically weird-coloured feet, but I agree that they're a little bright. Will fix that today too. Pidgeotto's supposed to be holding a feather.

Finished these quicker than I thought I would, but speed doesn't usually mean quality. I'm not sure whether I like these ones or not - it could just be me, but something seems off. Backsprites + Pidgeot pending.

They have to be drawn in 64x64 then resized after (for easy viewing)~ You seem to be editing them in 128x128, which is far too large and shrinking them in such a state only destroys them. You're also better off saving them as .png images instead of .jpg, since Paint's .jpg output quality is abysmal and unusable. (Zooming in, you can see horrible, messy pixels surrounding everything as a result of Paint compressing them when it saves them in that format.) Moetal: Was working on the Pidgey line earlier. Expect Pidgey tomorrow and maybe one or both of its evolutions depending on how quickly I work. Perhaps some back sprites for other Pokemon will come too (if I can figure out how to make them not-awful).

Xatu~ (The next one must begin with a tilde)

I finished this sometime last week, but forgot about it until seeing it again now. Should be pretty easy to tell which Pokemon it is. Probably needs the usual adjustments.

Ninetales itself is based on a Kitsune actually~ Specifically a Kyūbi no Kitsune - an incredibly old, wise and powerful fox with the maximum number of tails. (With that being said, the Moemon sprite is based on one too of course since the Pokemon itself is.)

And the award for worst backsprite goes to... (This one will need a lot of editing to even resemble anything to have ever existed.)

For some reason I felt compelled to redo Drowzee and Hypno. I went more for personality than moeness on Hypno. I always thought of it as something of a trickster. As for the backsprites that I still haven't done... Which Pokemon should I make them for? (There's no point in making a backsprite for a front sprite that won't be used.)

While adorable, there are a couple of issues with it. 1: The sprites have to be drawn at 64x64. We only resize them to 128x128 to make them easier to see. When resized to 64x64, yours ends up looking like this. It would need some cleaning up to be usable. 2: You can only use a maximum of 16 colours, including the background colour which will become transparent. (As such, white isn't recommended for the background since it will turn all the other whites in the sprite transparent if the shade is identical.)

The background can be any colour. Personally I find the blue used in the sprites I recently added to be the least distracting and easiest to work with. You can choose any 16 colours. Some will look slightly different upon insertion but it's barely noticeable, if at all.

Sprites have to be 64x64 pixels, and contain no more than 16 colours (including the background, which will become transparent upon insertion).

It's pretty easy to tell the person you want to mute "I'll be back - I have stuff to do" then either hope they forget about you or only whisper them again just before the AFK kick would have occurred (then "leave" again a few minutes later) if you don't want to block them. After all, they would have no idea that you're still playing and talking to someone else unless you were to encounter them, which can be prevented by changing channels for a while. This seems like a pointless feature since the problem is so easily avoided, unlike on those social media sites where the person in question can either see your idle time or are aware that you've seen their message.

While it admittedly doesn't look like Kingler, the current sprite definitely needs a revamp~ It's quite terrifying. *coughMagiplscough* Weepinbell is supposed to be wearing a large coat of sorts, which seems quite fitting since the Pokemon itself is a similar shape to the above sprite (which is why I chose Kricketune specifically). Will work on Furret some more a bit later, and will attempt Sentret too I guess.

I'll do those backsprites when I have some more time. I'm quite awful at backsprites though, so don't expect much~ I'll edit the Houndour later, but can't guarantee that it'll be good. It's supposed to be a normal collar. I had a bit of spare time today and not much else I could really do, so converted some unused sprites (Luxray, Kricketune, Kyogre) into moes that are currently lacking a bit. Furret (Luxray) Weepinbell (Kricketune) Kingler (Kyogre)

What is sleep and why do I sprite instead of doing it? Houndour. Probably needs considerable editing to be decent.

The Hot Chick Pokemon came out in November 2002~ Anyway, welcome to PokeMMO~

The origin of mine is quite simple. I had to think of a name pretty much on the spot since a couple of friends and I suddenly decided that a triple Nuzlocke would be a good idea and that we should start right away. We basically just took our first names and combined them with a Pokemon that we happened to like and whose name started with the last letter of ours. The first Pokemon that I thought of was Lucario, hence my username. Looking back, I kinda wish it didn't make my gender quite so obvious but it was inevitable that it'd become known anyway and I don't have too much of a reason to hide it. I later learned that "rache" is German for "revenge", which is pretty fitting since it gives it a nice double meaning to it while also being accurate from a competitive standpoint since Lucario makes a nice revenge killer. It results in a lot of people asking me if I speak the language though when I know pretty much none of it.

I had a bit of spare time today and made a quick sprite (Dugtrio). It's far from perfect, but you'd all likely be able to see what's wrong with it a lot easier than a half-asleep me.

There are some ledges southwest of the cave that can be jumped down to reach Cerulean~

You have to go into your settings and turn DS sprites off~

There are a few problems with this suggestion, but the most glaring of them all is that it would confuse people very easily. To calculate the effectiveness of attacks on Pokemon with three types can be rather silly. Taking your Fire/Flying/Dragon type Charizard for example, you have a Fire type Pokemon that is actually weak against Ice which makes very little sense. With the canon Fire/Flying Charizard, the two types balance each other out and make Ice neutral - which makes perfect sense. Pokemon have been single or dual type since generation 1 - there is no good reason to change this and plenty of reasons not to including confusion as well as preventing certain Pokemon from becoming overpowered. Typing is just one of those things that should remain canon, and "it would be interesting" or any other variation of the phrase just isn't a good enough reason to warrant doing something like this. I can safely say that this suggestion is never going to be implemented.

I'm going to have to go with 5.

Welcome to the forums~

Flipped and fixed some of the issues. Since I was going for a ninja theme, it's best if the hair stays as-is to be honest. It also suits Sneasel more given its naturally round head. (Was initially going to do something different since I noticed that I tend to do a lot of similar ones, but it actually suited this Pokemon.) As for the forehead gem, it was supposed to be represented by the head ornament. I've made it more clear by adding a second one though.

This should pretty much cover how they're made, or at least how I do things Starting basic and building it up/adjusting things. Since this patch is made primarily for PokeMMO (which lacks the Charizard title screen), I assume that said Charizard is really low priority at the moment if it gets done at all.
