    Custom Sprites

    in Pokémon Fan Club

    Posted

    how would i add my own custom sprites to the game?

    you just find the sprite you want to use, and the sprite you'd replace in your Reborn Graphics Character folder, make sure the sizes fit and the rename your custom sprite and replace.

    (Don't forget to make backups of the Original just in case!)

    It's quite easy to put this in the game, if you give me a moment I can make it work!

    Here try this! Lemme know if it works!

    Did you read the "The Old Republic" Novels? They are awesome!

    In the third one, simply called "Revan" depicts how it all happened, and follows the exiled oh her search for him... and we learn the name of the Sith-Emperor/Lord of the Sith! :P

    I haven't actually read the Novels, but what happens to him is pretty intense.

    **SPOILERS**

    Revan married Shan and sank into obscurity for several years until his resurfacing memories led him to leave his wife and unborn child behind in a search for answers in the Unknown Regions. Captured by the Sith, he was imprisoned for three years until a former lieutenant of his named Meetra Surik rescued him with the help of the Sith Lord Scourge. The trio's attempt to eliminate the Sith Emperor failed, and Revan was held captive by the Emperor for three hundred years until he was finally freed by Republic forces. Taking control of the Rakatan Foundry, Revan attempted to construct an army of extermination droids to destroy the Empire, but the Jedi Master died when he was defeated by an Imperial strike team.

    However, the torture that he experienced at the hands of the Emperor had splintered Revan's mind, and though part of him attempted to become one with the Force, the rest rejected death and clung to life, embracing the dark side. Taking control of the fanatical Order of Revan, he sought to destroy the Sith Emperor once and for all by bringing the Sith ruler back to a physical form and killing him, but both the Empire and the Republic joined together in an effort to stop him. Revan's light side was unable to pass on and aided the coalition in defeating the dark Revan, and though the Emperor was able to regain his strength, the two halves of Revan merged and were able to die a final death. His legacy, however, would live on; the Sith Lord Darth Rivan, who began the thousand-year-conflict known as the New Sith Wars, named himself after Revan after reading a damaged manuscript about the Sith Lord, and the Sith Lord Darth Bane discovered Revan's Sith holocron on the planet Lehon and used Revan's teachings to develop the Rule of Two philosophy.

    Which might I add, Darth Bane is a idiot. The Rule of Two is the biggest mistake the Sith ever made that I'm glad Darth Krayt eventually abolished. Lol

    too old for games?

    The thing about being too old for something is created by society. It is just some old outdated social construct that has affected almost ever single type of media that has ever existed. Video games are the new kid on the block in the eyes of media, they are very new and young in their life span. They have been around maybe 30 years at most, which in media is not a long time. ((they have come a long way from what they were at first, but it doesn't change the fact that they are very much a new piece of media.)). Everything in media has it's growth period. Video Games just got a start where being considered toys or for children was super reinforced by the games that originally came out. Old games had their limitations and as such it was hard to tell anything other than simple stories, and this further led to the assumption they were for children.

    Similar happened to Tabletop/Board Games as well. But try having a kid play some of the crazy shit like Talisman(( very mild example.)0 or Twilight Imperium ((which is basically a 4x strategy game like Civilization, but in Boardgame form.)). Hell, even games like the Battlestar: Galactica Boardgame and other defector games would be tough to grasp.

    The gist here is, things are targeted at audiences, and since games were largely targeted at children at first people assume they are only for children. But this isn't true. Something's targeted audience isn't it's only audience. Plenty of games these days are aimed at Teenage Males. Does that stop older folks, or even people of the lady persuasion from playing? Hell no. Targets are only there fro marketing teams. Society clings to them way to much imo and it is where the games are only fro children thing coems from.

    I should note, the average age of gamers period is around 35, so more adults play games than teens even do. The info people use to say they are for kids is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad outdated and it is mostly an excuse other media forms use to bash it because they realize they are being hurt by Video Games for sales etc...

    So, love games. They do so much for people. They are proven to show actual increases in problem solving skills, and spacial awareness. SO they really do help you understand the world around you funnily enough. But they also bring people together that would otherwise never met. If I t wasn't for my love of the pokemon series I would have never come to Reborn, and I would have never met some of my best friends in the entire universe. I also met another super good friends through League of Legends. Games bring people from around the world together just to enjoy themselves and have fun. We get so much from gaming. And the more gaming becomes ingrained into our culture the more other media pushes back. They realize what gaming does with people. They realize just how much it catalyzes in people, how much it resonates with them. and as the media grows it gets more and more competent with story telling. Some games I have played have affected me just as deeply as a good book, or a powerful movie. Something like Brothers, that game with the 2 brothers you controlled. It told a story through it's game play, and while it was short, I felt so glad that I had played it. I truly cried at the end of that game. It showed me something beautiful through it's game play. The interactive nature of games has the chance to allow them to be the most powerful narratives ever created. Through their gameplay that can make us feel in a way no other media can. Gaming could possibly be one of the most powerful art forms if given the chance and I believe it too be one. It only needs to be unlocked, and the taboos of it being a child's toy or pastime must be expelled for it to truly spread it's wings and flourish.

    Also, while I'm at it, KOTOR 2. LucasArts rushed the development so it would be out for Christmas and then we got an incomplete version riddled with more plotholes than a guy who crosses the mob in an old movie is riddled with bullets.

    I am such a huge fan of the KoTOR games you don't even know. While KoTOR II was super rushed in order to be pumped out to make sales, I did find a rather enriched and enhanced story from it after installing TSLRP on the PC version which readds tons of the Cut Content into the game. It actually adds quite a bit that was removed from the game, if you get it on PC I would highly advise installing it.

    I am however glad they explained what happened to Revan in The Old Republic.

    **SPOILERS**

    I found it pretty awesome that the true Lord of the Sith who was outside of known space captured Revan and kept him alive up until The Old Republic. I thought that was freaking awesome. I also love how HK-47 managed to be reuinited with him. I wonder how he feels if you romanced Bastilia seeing one of his descendants y'know? I'm talking about Satele Shan. Lol.

    Hey there!
