Shiny Pokemon?!?! Oh no...

[metagrosslord]

This is random, but one thing I noticed with some of the sprites, namely Ferrian and Cackinge (beat me to the punch on the Ghost/Steel knight design BTW, I've been trying to do it but it never comes out good.), is that they are extraordinarily high quality for pokemon sprites. I could do a shading fix if you want, but I don't think you will. So, just pointing that out.

[zeroality]

It is... a pain!

That's honestly a bit ridiculous. If you used Firefox, then you could click on the favicon (should be a soul dew icon to the left of the address bar) and hit More Information on the window that comes up.

Go to Media tab and you should be able to click on individual backsprites and use the "Save As" button.

Yes guys, I realize that I just told everybody how to bypass our very own "security" but that just goes to show you how freaking pointless it is.

Even this guy figured out how to rip them the hard way, I just told him an easier way to do it. :\

What do you mean, a shading fix? You're welcome to edit the sprites and if we like them better than what's up there now then we will certainly make the change.

[metagrosslord]

Okay then, we've got 5 new ones. It's the Cirroft line!!! (If you guys are making a game out of this, I'm so getting a Destado. I'm almost tempted to insert it into a rom hack XD)
Cirroft:
Cumuloft:
Destado:
Frostorm:
Nimbolt:

Well, I don't have Firefox. XD And all I mean by shading fix is that Ferrian and Cackinge have a lot more colors in their pallete than any pokemon sprite I've ever worked with. But thanks for the tip, anyway.

[Cyndadile]

If you guys are making a game out of this

That's the plan.

And it doesn't matter that they have more colors; we're not a hack. Its going to be on the computer.

[metagrosslord]

Oh, I get it now. Sounds interesting, can't wait for the demo. Did you guys ever consider shadow pokemon in this? It's one thing I and a lot of other fans feel the main series games lack.

[zeroality]

You mean Shadow Pokemon as they have in Colosseum/XD?

Yeah, I don't see how that would fit into the storyline. I hate to say it since you seem so eager to help, but Topaz is pretty far along in terms of design/plot development.

There's not much that we'd consider open for change at this point, other than what's being discussed in threads atm (Gym Leaders/storyline nuances, etc).

Also you should check out the FAQ, it's a bit outdated but has a lot of information.

[Konrad]

Speaking of storyline, is there a script somewhere?

Also sending PM.

I sent you a PM with the backsprites in a zip folder, to make it easier on both of us. I ended up having to align most of your sprites but you still did excellent work.

However, I had to delete Celsinge and Fahramane since you seem to have accidentally cut off their whiskers. I couldn't simply paste them back on so I discarded the sprites. The rest were solid though, they're up at http://pokemontopaz.net/pokemonshinybacksprites

Hope to see more from you!

[metagrosslord]

Yep, didn't work. Stupid computer. I just got Firefox, so that works well enough. BTW as for Shadow pokemon, I was kind of getting at Team Rocket using them to beat the Orion Defenders (Yes, I did read the story line. It's EPIC.). But, since your mind is made up, I won't pursue it any farther (Gives me something for Pokemon Blaze anyway. Team Eclipse and Team Nebula maybe? Shadow and Light Pokemon?) Anyway, I'll post some more backsprites soon as I finish getting them with Firefox.

[metagrosslord]

BTW, I never did Celsinge and Fahramane... That was Quinn.

[metagrosslord]

Fincherp and Gashawk! (They should be positioned properly now since I no longer have to rip them.)
Fincherp:
Gashawk:

[metagrosslord]

And Spidream.
Spidream:

And also Grific.
Grific:

And Kondria too. (This one reminds me of Sneasel, but I can't figure out why.)
Kondria:

And Topaz's version of Honchkrow, Harskrow!
Harskrow:

Skalloy teh birdie!
Skalloy:

Derp duck lol.
Cascadet:

And now we have Zantilidae, one of the most epic fakes I've ever seen (BTW the shiny has no modded shade on the darkest claw color, I can do that if you want, reply if you want me to.)
Zantilidae:

And it's counterpart, Pythang.
Pythang:

[metagrosslord]

And now the Trillogill line! (I think it's an evo line, anyways.)

Trillogill:

Tidasale:

Quiisord:

Tsunall:

[Tyrannigon64]

Yes, it is. Trillogill evolves depending on its highest stat: Tidasale for Attack, Quiisord for Speed, and Tsunall for Defense. Similar to Tyrogue.

[Konrad]

Pretty sure I got everything, but if i missed something, lemme know so I can add it to the folder.

EDIT: Are we making new sprites for the old Pokemon? I don't have any of those.

[Tyrannigon64]

Are we making new sprites for the old Pokemon? I don't have any of those.

I'm pretty sure we're using DPP/HGSS sprites for the old ones.

[Konrad]

I'm pretty sure we're using DPP/HGSS sprites for the old ones.

In that case we're good, but I saw some shiny back sprites for older Pokemon that didn't match what I had.

[Sev]

Just saying but the new B/W previous gen sprites came out.

[Konrad]

The shiny sprites on the first page of this topic appear to be from Gen IV. What I have is Gen III.

[Reliability]

We voted earlier on to use Frame 1 Platinum backsprites, since we've been using 4th gen proportions for backsprites (80x80).

[metagrosslord]

Here be Slowpriest.
Slowpriest:

OMG Abyssus!
Abyssus:

[metagrosslord]

Tellure's pallete is too confusing, I might worry about that one later.

[metagrosslord]

Here be Gargoyles.
Gargoth:

Cragoyle:

And also a lizard.
Drakodo:

And this game's Leafeon, Chloreon!
Chloreon:

And the uber epic Cerberus designs, the Chiarame line!
Chiarame:

Serberine:

And some angels, too.
Engil:

Benengil:

[Konrad]

I've got everything together and in the proper format.

metagrosslord is making short work of these!

[metagrosslord]

Metagrosslord is making short work of these!

you bet I am!

Speaking of short work, here's the Duval line.
Duval:

Malduval:

And also a dinosaur.
Brontogon:

BAM.

[metagrosslord]

Now it's time for... a kangaroo? I'm not quite sure what it is, to be honest.
Blitzfaust:

And another one.
Vilephist:

Some dragons, too.
Sinestril:

Malistril:

And of course, the only sprite on this website that I could maybe equal in caliber (Lol. My scratching is mediocre at best.), Bakurge!
Bakurge:

The evolution of Lapras, Sirene!
Sirene:

Be warned, out there be TURTLEZ.
Iglonia:

I have to applaud you guys for turning stantler into an awesome pokemon.
Caribrisk:

[metagrosslord]

The Huskii line now has shiny backsprites!!!
Huskii:

Tundrolf:

Wolfrost:

And ze epic eel.
Reefrain:

Polara line!
Polara:

Polarice:

This is one concept Nintendo should use. It's EPIC.
Scorchion:

Ooooohhhhh I'm a ghooosssttt oooohhhhh!!!
Misticade:

This one was clever. Purple crystals for the shiny. Emperor Leoracle FTW!
Leoracle:

Teh Great Sphinx!
Khaphix:

Caution: Danger of Mammoths.
Flintusk:

Metusk:

[BladeVap]

Nice work! Vilephist and Blitzfaust aren't really based on any ANIMAL, tbh; they're actually based on "honorable" and "dishonorable" martial arts techniques, I think.

[Tyrannigon64]

But you must agree, they do kind of look like kangaroos.

[metagrosslord]

And here's Kunaiga.
Kunaiga:

I'll try to get Allufang tommorow, it says "This picture exceeds your pictures per album quota by 1." Lolwut?

[Tyrannigon64]

I've experienced this problem. Make another album, and put Allufang there.

[zeroality]

I've experienced this problem. Make another album, and put Allufang there.

Do that. Let us know if you continue to have problems and I'll take a look at the limits.

I don't think there's a way to change the limit for individual albums but you should be able to make new albums.

Great work so far. Would it be possible for you to do Celsinge and Fahramane then?

@Konrad, I may have mistakenly sent you some outdated sprites. You should only be using what is currently up on the site. (Aside from what hasn't been posted yet, that is - such as metalord's newly done sprites. I'll have those up tomorrow most likely and will send you another e-mail with them.)

If I accidentally sent you sprites for former generation Pokemon then those are probably no good. We're using Platinum Frame 1 sprites as Reli said. I'll get them ripped and packaged sometime.

[Konrad]

lol, I wish you said that before I ripped them all from Bulbapedia. No worries, minus the 14 missing shiny back sprites, its all in one place now.

[metagrosslord]

Alrighty, I'll make another album. And I'll get started on Celsinge and Fahramane.

It seems another Album worked, because Allufang uploaded fine now.

Allufang:

I'll try Celsinge and Fahramane, but it seems the backsprites have a pallete for the muzzle the front sprite doesn't have. It's kinda weird.

So, I did them now, and they came out nice enough, I suppose.
Celsinge:

Fahramane:

And the uber epic galaxy warrior thing.
Purior:

We officially have lions and tigers and bears. OH MY!!!
Snarliger:
Noctiger:
Raiger:

[metagrosslord]

Legendary Trio!
Gypseer:

Tagati:

Neichia:

And a hydra.
Typhidna:

Unicorn.
Unicrown:

72 shiny backsprites later, I beleive I'm done here. The remaining sprites are pretty annoying. Quinn can do those. Even if it's just shiny backsprites, I'm glad I could contribute something. Do you guys need pokedex data? I found a decent template that's free to use, and I have experience making dex data.

EDIT:
Nevermind, I saw you already did that. :P

[Konrad]

Only four left!
108/Tellure
162/Ferrian
165/Cackinge
177/Kraklaw

[Tyrannigon64]

I can try those, actually.

[zeroality]

lol, I wish you said that before I ripped them all from Bulbapedia.

Wait! I hope you didn't delete them yet?

Could you send me an e-mail with those? If you've already got them then there's no sense in me doing the work if they're what we need. I'd like to take a look.

Anyway, I didn't realize more backsprites were done but I got the last batch posted to the site. I'll do these right now real quick. Will edit when done.

Edit: http://www.pokemontopaz.net/pokemonshinybacksprites/

Awesomeness! Yup, only four more. Will e-mail you the new shiny backsprites now Konrad.
