YES HELLO
NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH SPRITES
I CAN DO MORE SPRITES
All right, we're getting there. Firstly, I think we can get a bit more contrast within the shades of white we have there. Currently it seems kind of grey over all and it's hard to tell the shades apart. Also, as I've boxed out, we lose the definition on the outline, so now that we got the top of the outline set, we need to pull in a bit of a darker shade to the other bits of the outline of the white section to make it look crisp.
With the plantish growth parts, we definitely got the moss color down, but I'm reconsidering the idea now since it clashes poorly. Once the white section is brighter (and whiter) we'll have some room for brightness, so let's try making those moss-segments a more vivid gold?
Finally, what do you guys think about Regigigas' eye colors? We could go all white, all gold, we could use the Reborn colours again... I don't have strong feelings, but the three shades we've got in there now seem arbitrary. Thoughts?

When I talk about contrast, it's the difference in value between shades. If we're increasing contrast, lighter shades should be lighter, and darker shades should be darker. Quite a bit more so still for both of the silver and gld here.
In fact with the gold, you could also try leaving the lightest shade where it is currently and taking a new almost-white color and using it as a highlight, to make those metal bits look like they're reflecting light a bit. Same with the associated sprites.

I think either of those Chatot options are good, and in sympathy to the unrelenting comments about "all Reborn shinies are black", I'm inclined to go with the parrotesque one. If there aren't any objections, I'll save that.
Cherry line sprites are beautiful. I officially relent on the pachi concept, let's just go with a different suggestion. Rhyperior saved.
I still like this Froslass best personally.
If we're going to fo with this one we should fix up the outlines. The boxed areas are just examples of where the outline doesn't quite match, but it applies to much of the rest of the sprite as well. Make sure the outline around the silver part is also silver. As for the inner outline of the rings, that yellow color takes on a green tone, whereas the ring color was moving to orange, so the outline-yellow should lean towards orange rather than green
The same is true of only the yellow-outline for the back sprite.

We have a lot of Manaphys to pick from. I like the green one personally. Other thoughts?
I prefer the non-inverted stunky line, mostly because it clashes with the face awkwardly on the others... but as was pointed out later, the lack of contrast in the white shades could be skewing that.
In regards to dragon in nights stunk/glameow lines, remember that we can't use 1x resolution spriting. I.e any edits have to be done at 100% resolution, and then taken up to 200% effectively doubling the size of all pixels. Both the grumpy cat and the two-face cat use 1x spriting on the faces, and that won't work. However if we correct that issue, I think that rendition of grumpy cat is better than the existing ones, and we could prefer it.
Obamasnow line saved; both campaigns won. Nsupem's Buizel line is great. Also taking the Spiritomb and Voltorb. The Regigas is interesting, and I'm not opposed to it but unless there's great favor for it I'd sooner stick to our themed one. Togekiss saved.
I really like the varied-metal bronzong-- should we use the gold the silver bronzor with it? I'm thinking Silver.
All of the Palkias look pretty good. I'm leaning towards the blue one to keep the reverse theme, but the third one is good too. Thoughts?
I -really- like the Autumn torterra concept, even over the initial cherry blossom, or the stone ones. That version of Goku-Infernape is looking really nice to me too. I'd like to see those filled out for the rest of the line and backs and I'd have no reservations going with those. Garchomp I'm not sold on-- I think given the 'badass' nature of the pokemon, red/black will be more appealing to Garchomp fans.

Keep it up everyone! I'll update the list on the front once i get this all sorted, shouldn't be long
