[Regarding V13 (Major Update!)]

By the sounds of it, even before this post v13 is going to be HUGE, and that's without adding the stuff gen 8 gave us.

Honestly using this method for future versions might not be a bad idea when you're feeling swamped, not just v13.  Granted this year in particular has sucked hardcore but still.

NGL I'm still sad about the delay this version has suffered, but I understand the reasons.  I'll force myself to be patient if I have to, this game is worth it.  It's not a stretch to say I'm more hyped about v13 than I was about most of the official pokemon releases.

Edit: spelling

[zumi rejuvenation vs the sprite world (VS Sprite updates)]

I didn't even know people felt that strongly about Adam's vs sprite, but now that i'm looking at the old one his hair DOES look weird haha.
Flora definitely needed that upgrade!
I kinda prefer Ariana's old sprite.  The new one just kind of looks... goofy to me?  IDK I think it's the mouth/smile that i'm getting that from.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I really don't like the change to Aevis.  His hair basically looks like an enlarged version of Axel's on the one side.  To be fair I was a fan of his legacy sprite where he had black hair and wore a hat so should probably take my opinion with a grain of salt.
