Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Suggestions _ PC icon updates

Posted by: Telethia Plume Jun 26 2017, 01:12 PM

So the Gen 6 games updated every Pokemon's icon to a more modern art style, but here on GPX+ we're still using the old DS/GBA icons for older Pokemon. I understand why this is: it's a lot of work, especially since shiny sprites would have to be redone as well, and it's overall a low priority compared to more substantial updates and bug fixes. So I was kind of wondering if I could volunteer to do the busywork. I certainly have enough free time, and I've done icon recolors before for Pokecheck back when it was still around, so I do have that experience. I can even throw in custom recolors for all the Arceus and Silvally forms, if you want.

I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries by offering this out of the blue. It just seems like a nice thing to do, y'know? And it's a way I can give back to the site after all these years of being here.

Thanks for the offer, but currently we aren't looking for pixel art contributions. I personally did Silvally's recolours, the issue isn't just that the art's not done.

In the future, we'll announce if we're looking for Contributors as we've done in the past.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the PC/party icons, which don't jave official color changes for the Arceus and Silvally forms. I wasn't trying to imply anything about the unreleased forms.

All the same, thanks for answering.
