[INDEV] Pokemon Card GB Expansion | New Sprites 06/22/12 - Reconstructing OP

Awesome stuff in here. One thing I think would be worth mentioning, though, is that every 8x8 tile can only have 4 different colors. For instance...

Magnemite

The highlighted areas have five colors. I also took a look at your Pupitar, and most of the tiles broke this rule. This wouldn't be an issue if this was going into a new engine or something, but there's no way this would work on a Gameboy, emulated or otherwise.

Spoiler

And if you want to get even more technical, I think every card can only have 2 4-color palettes, which means tiles can't use colors from both palettes unless it's part of the palette already... I think.

Anyway, I worked on something similar a far while back- this neat-o Shiny Registeel.

Conveniently, this breaks every rule defined above, and then some. I even scanned and traced over the actual card which probably isn't too kosher. I might dick around with it later.

Oooohhhhh myyyyy gooooood this can't be truuuueeee. Well this is unfortunate. I guess that's why certain cards in GB2 have "colouring out of the lines"... like Nidorina.


I had always dismissed those kinds of things as mistakes... but I guess it was them adhering to the rule.

Ah man... I'm going to see what I can do. Could you tell me how to divided up the Magnemite sprite into the tiles? Was it through some special method or just done manually? Awesome Registeel by the way!


Those are some really great sprites Yo-Yo Boy! Especially the Gardevoir. Now your EX Delta Species symbol can be put to use.
