Default Male Sprite Discussion

[Reliability]

Also, the trainer sprite on the site is out of date, and we have several contenders for replacements, which is another reason why the sprite can't be used.
Yeah... we should get on that. Can we track those down and get that finalized.

There is the one I think Ib said was the best.

I certainly liked it the best.

I could use a colour change but it's the best. Leme se if I can use the palettes from mew's other one...

[ImmunityBow]

Just pointing out that I wouldn't have said it was the best since I published that sprite (though it was a very heavy edit of X-Antibody's).

And yes, please recolour it. I can never seem to get two proper colours down together. I can't even begin to count the number of times I somehow thought green and purple was a good idea, and I still sometimes do it to this date.

[zeroality]

Where are the others?

[Cyndadile]

If I may make a suggestion: I'd like blues and purples in the trainer; reds and yellows can be harsh sometimes and are overused on pokemon main characters.

[EthanK]

RBY had Red and Black, GSC had (you know what it is) black and yellow, RS had red and white, Emerald had green and white. Why not do something new, like a topaz-themed blue, or an orange (bad idea)?

[Tyrannigon64]

Would the main character get a uniform depending on what team (s)he joins? Or would (s)he not wear it all the time so people wouldn't notice that (s)he is part of Orion Defenders/Team Rocket?

[Reliability]

There will be no uniforms. I know they did the whole Rocket costume thing in HG/SS which was kinda cool, but I'm really not liking the concept for here. At least the way we have it, you retain some individuality, whereas there is potential to be saying things about changing your image to fit into gangs and such things.

I would like to see the main character in some kind of yellow as a highlight. Perhaps purple and yellow? I'd like to avoid red if possible.

[Cyndadile]

Eh...

Best so far, in my opinion. BTG has too harsh of a yellow.

[Reliability]

The outlines on the yellow need to be more appropriate to the colour, but I like that one other than that.

The lack of refrences leaves me confused. I want that one but not that one. No! I said that one! [/shot]

[EthanK]

They need to be more appropriate to what color, the blue?

I don't really know what you mean by "appropriate."

[Reliability]

Split thread.

The outlines on all of the yellow pieces are black or grey. They should be a yellow/gold/brown, with only a little bit of black at the darkest sections. Sorry for not being specific, I guess I assumed that everyone gets everything that I say all the time. Also, words are hard.

Like this?

[Reliability]

Much better.

[Black Temple Gaurdian]

Meh, i still prefer mine.

[Tyrannigon64]

The bands stand out a bit too much IMO. Maybe a more dull shade of yellow?

[Cyndadile]

Pokemon trainers always like standing out.

[EthanK]

I think I need to touch up the backpack straps a bit, maybe make them stand out more from the scarflike thing.

[NyteFyre]

You know, I think there should be some amount of identification on which team your character is a part of. Maybe like a small pin on his/her shirt, or hat.

[ImmunityBow]

I'm really preferring a lighter scheme to the trainer. I like Cyndadile's the best, though the outlining issues have already been stated. BTG's yellow is really shearing on the eyes. Black and blue isn't the worst, but it's also a bit of a lazy combination: blue goes with practically every colour, and black goes with most colours, so pairing the two seems like a cop-out almost.

[Cyndadile]

I did think that the light blue would go well on a trainer. As for outlining issues (on mine), I'd prefer to leave that to someone else to try if they's like. I don't have a good eye for that.

I'm posting the four sprites used for the battle animation so you guys have a reference point.

Hmm... Just stopping bye but I think what Konrad had as reference is the best option than a custom animation. Reli use transparent windows and trace it as action lines?
