[[IPS] Moemon Fire Red Revival Project (Updated 9-17-2019)]

After waaaay too long a wait, I finally sat down and had another try at Natu. Here's the result:

 

 

Still needs a lot of touching up, I'm sure, but I think it's a much better size now. (I would make it larger, but I want to leave room so Xatu can potentially "grow.")

Edits and criticism would be much appreciated.

I kind of like that one. Definitely think the added gray makes it feel more like Magneton.

That Crobat has a cute lil' fang, definitely moe.

 

@CrookedWings

I like the design in the picture, but I also feel like that kind of dress has been done several times already. Swimsuits are always good for representing water types, but I suppose it depends on what you have in mind.

 

@Moetal

I agree that new pose for Magneton looks good. Not as sure about the stockings, 'cause you lost some of the red-blue positive-negative thing that was going on when you made them all black. Maybe thigh-high socks with red and blue accents at the tops? Something like this:

 

 

It's like... zettai ryouiki without a skirt.

@DeathRebel

Pale looks fine to me, though I do wonder if she would look good tan...

I noticed recently that nobody has made any attempt to create a more detailed Natu sprite. The current sprite looks kind of... small.

"Tiny Bird" indeed.

 

My last attempt to make a sprite was disastrous, but after much wallowing in regret I eventually found the heart to try again. I daresay this one has gone a little bit better, though I know I still suck eggs at this whole business. Pixels are surprisingly fickle beasts.

 

 

Probably needs a load of edits or a complete rework before it'll even be passable, but I would like feedback. Is it too small? Is it too simple? Is the cape stupid? Should I give up and throw myself out a window?

 

Edit - Also, feel free to tell me if it's 100% unacceptable for reasons such as "doesn't match the style of Xatu," "doesn't match the style of every other moemon," etc. I need an excuse to practice more anyway, and a complete remaking of the sprite would probably be good practice.

Redacted; please ignore.

 

I'll keep practicing and come back when I have something of worth to contribute.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for keeping us up to date.

For the record, I actually also prefer the so-called "Chaika-face."

 

But yeah, it seems a number of people seem to prefer that less cheerful squint-eyed look. Why, I'm not sure. I don't think it's nearly as moe.

Concerning Doduo: The shading on 1 looks really nice, and the bluer eye color helps bring out the blush a little more while matching the sleeves of the dress. I vote that one.

Huzzah! New patch! :D Now if only there were a catch all pokemon version of this!

If OtherPlayers sees that there's been an update, he'll probably update his new Emerald 386 patch to match. The thread says it's likely to take a week or two for him to notice the update and make the patch, but it should happen eventually.

You, sir, have made my day. Thanks so much for delivering on this awesome patch, and of course, thank you to all the hardworking sprite artists and modders who supplied what made this possible.

 

*Sniff*... Moemon has come so far...

[[IPS] Moemon Emerald Patch - 20th March 2013]

(Though if somebody points me at a nice, simple 386 patch I'll probably make a version guaranteed to work with it. Something like Elegant Emerald is probably about the most complex I want to have, and it's probably what I'll end up doing if nobody here comes up with something I like better).

Not sure how complex it is, but I managed to find a rom labeled simply "Pokemon_Emerald_386"... so I made a quick IPS patch out of it. You can grab the patch at this mediafire link if you're interested.

 

I did a quick 5-minute test run and I think this is the original "Emerald 386," which means the only changes present should be the presence of all 386 Pokemon and a few evolutionary edits... but don't quote me on that.

 

Anywho, I hope you can get it working. I'd love to be able to play a fully functional Moemon Emerald 386. :)

 

(Honestly, though, if you managed to get Elegant Emerald combined with Moemon Emerald, it would be glorious, because it includes some really awesome features)
