These aren't the best pokemon sprites ever you liar

it looks really blurry, for starters. Like, really blurry

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Kitsu - 12-05-2010

I'll admit they look a little better than I expected, but they also look kinda blurry, like they were hastily resized or something...

Also, why did you post this both here and in the submissions board?

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Gors - 12-05-2010

this isn't the best pokémon sprites ever, it's blurry as hell, and it might be just a bunch of edits

explain yourself before I take an action.

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Black_Attack - 12-05-2010

I have a much less blurry version that I used in MS Paint but whenever I save it as a png or GIF it gets all screwed up, so I decided PNG did less damage than GIF abd just went with it.
How do I sve the file without jacking it up?

(And yes, BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER is an exaggeration but a good title nonetheless)

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Kitsu - 12-05-2010

That's really weird. Saving as PNG in Paint shouldn't be messing with it any more than slightly messing up the palette...

What version of Paint are you using (98, XP, Vista, etc.)?

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Black_Attack - 12-05-2010

Windows XP.
And its pretty annoying. Is this better?

I used GIMP this time.
If you open this in Paint it looks fine.


RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Kitsu - 12-05-2010

Well, it's still blurry. And this time you can't blame Paint, since I use XP Paint all the time and it never gives many any troubles like that.

Maybe you're using an incorrect link? Some image hosts resize images a bit if you don't give them the right specifications...

EDIT: Yeah, it looks like it was resized sometime after you made it.

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Sol - 12-05-2010

Did you resize the sheet at any point? Doing that usually creates anti-aliasing that makes the image blurrier, which tends to ruin sprites.
Just a sec, it could've been your image hosting site that resized the picture; Photobucket seems to do that sometimes. Maybe someone knows a site that doesn't resize larger images?

Edit: oops, ninja'd by sploder

Upload it to a different host; like imageshack or imgur. This has potential; but most of it seems like blantant editing from the Pikachu in the SSBB Project.

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Cobalt Blue - 12-05-2010

i am calling my dibs on a edit of something else.

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Black_Attack - 12-05-2010

Yeah photobucket did resize it.
Heres from ImageShack which said 1184x962 like the attributes inpaint. it should be it:

Nice n' crispy.

RE: BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER - Gors - 12-05-2010

Yeah, I can tell it is resized, principally the large sprites. Don't do that, as they screw up the resolution of the pixels.

ALSO non-pixel-related tip:

Quote:(And yes, BEST POKEMON SPRITES EVER is an exaggeration but a good title nonetheless)

No, it's not a good title. Using exaggerated words only increases the probability of not being the best pokémon sprites ever, and that can only cause fights between members.

I know that naming your title is an important way to promote yourself and your work, but using false or way too confident affirmations is a shit move.

Be humble when doing /apparently/ simple things as that, because it's on those small actions that your personality is built.
