I don't want to sound rude here, and this is just a general statement towards this question, but I'm working as fast as I can. I'm considering removing the status bar because there's just so much work that there's more that's even being displayed here. I understand that we're all excited and impatient- Trust me, I get it. I am too. I want Version 9 to be done faster than anyone here, but I just can't keep working nonstop. I'm the only one actively working on the game. Everything that's done is done by me and that just takes time. If I'm honest... truthfully honest here, I'm a little burned out at the moment. I try to work on the game as much as I can, but I just cannot. It's not that I love the project less, or that I don't want to do this anymore- I just need a break. I'm thinking of composing a team in the future so that this won't happen again, but that's a conversation for another day.

The red's a little bright. I'd lower the saturation a bit. The blending on Quilladin's face is a little weird too. Some parts of its eye is gray whereas the other side is brown. Honestly, I'd go for another color other than gray. It's a little plain. Looks good! I think I'm going to go for the second time gear vivillon. The shading here is a bit off Basically what Alex said. Whatever is the default form is what you'll get! It is, I just haven't updated the wall in a while. I've been pretty busy. Sorry :c The only two complaints I have with these are that the symbols look a little out of place (Probably because it's a really bright white next to a really dark black. I'd add slightly darker pixels of white to blend in with the darker shades of black), and that the shading is kind of hard to see on Greninja. Everything kind of blends at the bottom. That may be the black background, though. Edit: Also, have you submitted the backsprites for Meowstic/Clauncher? I can't seem to find them anywhere even though I thought I saw them before. I may be wrong though.

Q. Jan, will there be a Rift Dex? A. Yes! Actually, have one right now! Each one will have info that was never mentioned elsewhere. People who haven't picked these up in older versions will be able to pick them up in GDC.

These two honestly looks really good. I really like the Blue lava techno lamp tho... Yeah, this is pretty much why it looks odd. Goddamnit. Now I can't choose between this or the blue techno lava lamp :/. Approved! Approved! Looks good enough. Honestly, I had a hard time with these sprites as well :S. The shading was so ehh. Anyway, this'll do. That's fine. Thanks for helping anyway! oh my god. I love it tbh. Looks good! Both claims have been updated. Goomy line is a-okay! As for Vivillon, the edges and shading are a little rough, but those can easily be fixed. I like the concept! No worries! Thanks for your help! The color scheme is fine, but the pads around the thighs look a little strange. APPROVED! Ugh, that's not even vivillon, that's beautifly :////////// Approved! Really like how this came out. Approved! You can choose to change or keep vivillon's body color. It doesn't matter. What really matters is the pattern on the wings. Which may I add, are really cool here. The eyes personally look fine to me? If anything, it may look a little to bright in comparison to the black bg.
-
You got me.
-
Yeah... probably not the best decision on my part. Less laggy too!
-
I won't say what I was planning because I think I'm still going to do it. Anyway, since I didn't have a troll for you all this year, I'll show you all something legit. Sorry for being lame this year <3
-
Sorry, no troll this year. I had something planned, but I didn't have the time to actually do it. Maybe next year.

Looks pretty good to me! Approved, also the Vivillon are really pretty! Lastly, the Frogadier looks pretty solid here too. So I think we'll use this as a base. Really like how this one came out. Nice job! Looking really good! I think the satanic Vivillon is a little too out there though. Absolutely beautiful. Your work always amazes me tbh. Amaura is coming out GREAT. That's a really nice color scheme for it. As for Vivillon, the first one is interesting! The second one is good, but the circles at the edges could use a bit of work. They stand out a little. Okay! Sharpedo look good here so I'll accept these! I totally did. Updated. Noibat etc looks good. Vivillon is interesting, though it looks a little loaded. What does everyone else think? As for Malamar, it looks really odd again. I think this is mostly due to how it's sprited... there are a lot of different colors that clash each other and it just comes out looking a little messy. Could anyone give some advice/help? You seem to be having trouble using colors effectively/correctly. The colors are coming out really harsh because the saturation. Carbink's backsprite is really hard to look at because there are contrasting outline colors/jewel colors. Colors that aren't present on the front sprite. It's best if we keep colors consistent. I think Might Gai(?) posted a color guide somewhere in this thread... I think it was on the second page? There a few coloring issues present with this sprite. Firstly, the outline is too bright in contrast with the body. So it looks really faded out. Make sure you revise your sprites because there were a few spare pixels of gray that didn't need to be there. Lastly, it's best to keep the color in the same ranges tbh. If it's blue, don't do blue that's toward green, and then a blue that's toward purple. It makes it look odd. Same goes with the red. Awesome idea though, I think it was really solid. Here are some corrections to the front sprite. I'd do the backsprite for you, but that wouldn't help you learn, would it? :] bugsies look a-okay to me! I'm actually going to take care of it because its sprite is really hard to edit. Okay! Keep at it, friend. Looks good. Approved! Sorry for the late replies guys! I know a lot of you are waiting for what I have to say. I've been a little busy, but I'll try to keep up!

When you first meet Karen, she's perfectly normal, but then she slowly declines into a state of insanity. Perhaps she's forgotten to take something.

Things were going quite well, until the Player-nation attacked. Everyone did their job as leader until things started to force things out of control (Team Xen.) I thought it was clear, but Marianette's battle was technically illegal. Marianette's mansion isn't even there anymore. Was it ever there to begin with? Venam may not be the best person morally, but her skill with Poison Types was all she needed to get her the job. Amber got her position through Tesla, but she's also good enough to keep it up for herself. As for Saki... Well, you'll see how Saki got her position. It's not hard to get what you want when you have money. Aevium is technically still new. They're trying out new things and perfecting the system as they go. Though, they definitely need to get some responsibility in here because dear lord, the moment Team Xen attacks, things go way down hill.

I skipped this by mistake. This looks fine. This is much better. Backsprites pls! I'll take it from here. Approved. I think the middle one is my favorite. Regardless if it looks good or not, it needs to be in 2x resolution otherwise the pixels will distort later if they're edited. With the Froakie, there were some shading issues. I took care of that. I don't know what it is, but the Frogadier looks little off too, I agree with you. I'm not sure what could be done here. Anyone have any thoughts? Doggos are good! As for the 2x res thing, they must all be in the same resolution for consistency reasons... and if the game is used in a smaller res (Small option) it distorts. It's probably not you, the sprites after gen 5 are all fan made, so it's not shaded the same way and it can be difficult to recolor. The bunny here is basically what it should look like. I think they also switched the brightness/darkness. So, the lightest shade needs to be the darkest, and the darkest is supposed to be the lightest. Approved! I thjink I'm going to go with the gold rings. Also could you keep them into one image file? It's easier to save that way. Looks good! Approved. The colors seem very odd with the Malamar. I dunno, I don't think they go very well together. The shading used on the original sprite is REALLY weird and it requires some more work for it to work together. I think the blue and purple are okay, but then the white tentacles are a little odd. Goomy is MUCHHH better here. Let's use the original green one. Yeah, I think this Noivern is pretty sick. Let's go with this color scheme. Sorry, I've been really busy so I'm not sure if I can do that for you... Anyway, Spritzee has already been claimed. I apologize if that wasn't noted on the wall, I've been busy, as stated before. Just general criticism for Aromatisse, the colors are far too bright so it's hard to look at. It's hard to see the shading too. If you zoom out the image and you can't see the shading correctly, then it's probably bad shading. I tried editing this, but I couldn't edit it in a way that was good enough. So I tried it from scratch and I think I came out with a nice color scheme. What do you think about this? I hope I replied to everyone. If not, just @ me.
-
Maybe if luck is on your side, that may become a reality.

-
Really pretty! I'll need a shiny variation too. Oops, meant to delete it because someone already gave the same criticism I was going to say. Thanks though!
-
I think the first one may be my favorite! Which one do you prefer? Helioptile is approved! Volcanion looking great to me! Sylveon is approved, and yes! You may submit as much as you'd like. Though, if there are too many in the end, I may end up only picking one, so please tell me which one is your favorite. Tbh, I like both, so we'll use both! No one can tell me I can't have an extra form of Florges. Rules were made to be broken. Another rainbow yes, but a rainbow where it makes sense imo. This looks really beautiful and I love it. Approved. Looking great! Thanks! I like the mossy Dragalge better so let's go with that. As for the Vivillon, the circular lines are a bit rough, and the eyes sort of bleed into the skin for some reason. First one is cute! Let's go with that! Bubblegum mage is a go! Approved. Perhaps make the body less saturated? How about we go for a navy blue? Also these Vivillon are absolutely beautiful! I'd like to use all of them, but in the event there may be too many at the end... Which one is your favorite? Looks real nice! I think the white eyes really work well here! Nice job! Purple is a great color tbh. These are great! It's a nice first attempt, but there are a few problems. Are you changing color by hand? There are some pixels in this that are the wrong resolution. I'd recommend using graphics gale when changing the color so that you can avoid this. Aslo, there are some saturation issues. The blue on the body is really bright, then really dim out of nowhere. Sometimes this works on colors like red, but colors like blue don't pull it off so well. Try keeping them around the same saturation levels. The green one looks really nice tbh. It looks like a haunted tree with spirit flames. Let's go with that. I'm inclined to pick the first one, but we already have a ton of colors like that (and the purple + green one at that) so let's go with the silver and blue!
-
I guess you could say that these shinies are absolutely... Florges. ANYWAY. These look amazing. How about fall colors for the 5th one? That aside, I made my own Vivillon last night. I hope u like it. If you don't like it, I guess that's your loss then :/
-
Looks great! Approved. Looking good to me! I like the idea, but there are too many colors used here. By that I mean there are like 5+ shades of orange when there should be only like 2-3. Additionally, you used red to shade the orange, which is fine in some cases but I feel like the red is too strong here. Lastly, it's hard to see the dark shaded black because the outline is close to the body color. Perhaps something like this? I'm not too sure how to feel about the shading on the head, but this was a rough/rushed edit. Looks great! Approved. Looking really good! Approved. Aaaah. It's a tie between the first/third/last ones. I don't think green works with Sylveon too much. Hm, let's go with the last one. The green and the purple are fine, but not sure if the blue is working here. Oops, looks like you replied when I was typing out a post. Anyway, I think this is an interesting idea that could work, but it has quite a bit of coloring issues. The color choices themselves are fine. I'd like to go into more detail but I must go for now, but I'll see if I can whip up an example later.
-
Hm... These color choices probably aren't working out that well. I'd suggest trying something else. I don't really have much to suggest, but Might Gai posted a good color combination chart you could reference. It's fine, but it's way too similar to the original shiny, which is this: And I'm not too keen on the blood coming out of the eye. So it's probably best to revert that. I really really like both. Which one do you prefer?
-
Yep! This helps SO much. Thank you! ...Mreh. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do in terms of Ash-Greninja. So it's left out. Probably won't be a thing.
-
Edit: Xerneas is good.
-
There's like a thing around Xerneas' front and im not sure what it's supposed to be. Other than that it looks pretty cool yo. As for Yveltal, I like the concept but a few things fall flat. Specifically the light blue on the head. A few subtle changes, but I think this might be better. I'll accept this version. I love skittles! Approved!
-
Screams. I forgot to say something. Since this cycle is so short, the Vivillon thing will be going up indefinitely until V9 comes out. That means I'm going to leave the Gen 7 thread open to anyone who wants to submit a design. Also, I have to accept stuff before you can go ahead and claim things. The thread just started so I can't get to everything so please slow down a bit :s.
-
All right, let's try this again for the second time. Sorry for this post being late. I wrote up the whole thing and then Reborn errored and deleted it.... Anyway, the only thing that's different this time around is Vivillon. We're not only doing shinies for Vivillon, but we're doing regular designs as well. So if you want to do vivillon, you'll have to submit a non-shiny design, and then a shiny form of that same design. I had a much more in depth paragraph on how Vivillon should be done, but I'm so salty that reborn deleted that post that I don't want to write it up again :T. Rules: You may only claim 2 lines at max. Let's give others a chance to claim stuff. You must WAIT for me to approve your work BEFORE going onto others. If you do not update me on your work in 2-3 days, I will release your claim. Parenthesis indicate a specific look I want the shiny to have. If you take one Pokemon that has an entire line, I would expect you to do the whole thing, not just one. If you cannot do the whole line, please say so beforehand. Please put your claim in Gold so that I won't miss it! Things that may be required to work on this project Basic knowledge of color usage Basic knowledge of programs that can be used to edit sprites Your creativity! Red = Claimed Green = Completed Yellow = In danger of reclaiming (Basically people who haven't updated in a few days.) You can get the sprite pack here. ----Gen 6----- Vivillon base provided by @Alex

Gen 6's thread is going up in an hour!
