In case some of you missed it.. Ive been kinda ranting alot lately.. mostly to those who are saying things they are doing but truly are not doing anything close.. main target.. D/P sprite rippers.. we appreciate the time you took to cut them out.. but finish.. i see some others get ripped out then recoloured so you cant see the jpg mess anymore.. thanks but they are still uselss for most people because they have left up to 120 (thats the highest Ive seen) of extra colors mostly hidden in the outlines.. now when I last saw someone do this I did one to show them the difference.. that person never got back to me after I pointed it out....

so here I took the liberty to do many of the sprites over again.. this time perfectly colored.. no more than 16 colors which is the standard for the DS aswell.. a few have been rounded out better in some places.. and I also shrunk big Dorapion down to a size that would work with GBA hackers.. So take a look:

ALL of these are free to use without credit (a thank you would be nice tho)
Id really appreciate a thank you for Dorapion (because of taking the extra time to shrink'm) and bonsley because the image I started with was soo aweful that it didn't even have the shapes on its forehead viewable..

ALSO on a final Rant.. Nobody should be claiming any of the sprites ripped from Diamon/Pearl as thier own.. they are made by Nintendo.. you can ask for a thank you for ripping it but theres no reason to give credit.. you dont give credit to nintendo everytime you make a mix so why would you for someone removing a sprite or two from a game.. it doesnt belong to them..[/RANT]

Enjoy..

Wow they look a lot better! Naetoru and Cherimu look very...shiny...like plastic, but I like that! :D They are all great.

The only thing is I'm not sure what but I don't like what you did to Dorapion. It amkes his right arm look shorter than his left and all smushed. Upon further inspection, it is great, but as an overall look, I don't like it. But good job. :D
 
I'm not sure about everyone else, but 80x80@16 colours has been my prime directive for sprite cleanup purposes--I couldn't have done mine without knowing that. All of mine are 80x80 16-colour PNGs.

Onto these graphics, I find that the Dorapion looks extremely awkward. It looks like its arm was broken in half and stuck to its neck. The colours on all of them look a little too dark, like their gamma is too low. I could also see these sprites causing issues with scale if used in a GBA hack; they'd appear proportionately larger than their GBA counterparts. What you ought to have done was scale all of them down to 64x64 rather than just cropping them and squishing the parts in.

Lastly, the Tamanta in your collection is clearly a modified version of D-man's, yet you did not give him credit:

Yours:---D-man's:--Actual:

Note the strange-looking shading between the lighter and darker colours.
 
thats right..

It was the most perfect version.. but as I stated before people were using too many colors (35 to be exact)... I also fixed the colors to be alittle closer to what I wanted.. I can remove it if u wish..

I object! My version is clearly more perfect, and mine are free to use for any purposes. (I also spotted that you're using several of mine, but that's acceptible so I'm not complaining. You say you'd like a thank-you, but don't so much as give one? :/) I agree that claiming credit doesn't make much sense, but it's still their right. If people can claim rights to things as trivial as recolours and splices, they can claim rights to cleanups, too.

To reiterate my previous post, don't think you're the first to have come up with the idea of using 16 colours. I spotted that back in May when the first screenshots were revealed.
 
im not but many people think its been expanded to beyond that.. i know its gone up to 80x80 aswell but I said it was for the purpose of a hack.. many people wanted to put dorapion into thiers and they dont have the option..

thank you for the hard work you do but I dont remember being to your thread.. link? ive barely been on at serebii in about 3 weeks (errors connecting all the time, worse than PC), not sure.. maybe I did.. 90% of them were taken from the jpged ones at serebii, bulbagarden's wiki and a website I even saw Sweet loves' custom diagura, maxxa's (i think) elekible and a perfect roseliedo, I dont think its in english so I havent been back since.. all they were is cropped and poorly colored.. most of them were jpgs when i got them.. the others were fully battle screenshots (like Parep, was completely from the beginning, and bonsly had absolutly no color when I started (used susdowoodo's pallete), almost as bad as the koboshii image all over the net..)

all I did was correct them.. I didn't claim to make them myself.. nintendo did..

AGAIN, all I tried to do was improve what other people wernt doing properly.. which I assumed were ripped by these websites.. somebody close this

i agree with MM, his version is by far better, because i ripped mine when the blury screens were out, and i guess he ripped his when the watch impress released theirs, so his is better
 
My thread can be found here. The animating Perap in my signature redirects to my Photobucket where my stuff can be found as well.

May I also direct you to the rules, where it states what is stealing and what isn't.

Edit: D-man, so that's your excuse. Why is it, then, that the dithering is in the right place on yours? :p

Edit2: Oh, I see. You used the Yahoo Kids screenshot. :)

I don't see any sprites at all. O_o

In the spoiler, it doesn't show Dorapion. It shows two people. Then it changes and you see their butt. o.o;
 
they we removed for nonsensible reasons.. IVE ALREADY ASKED FOR THIS TO BE CLOSED!!
 
D-man: I was kidding. Note the use of ;) and :).

Spikey: They were pretty much the same thing you'd see in any D/P cleanup thread, only they were cropped to a 64x64 size and the Dorapion looked extremely awkward with its right arm in the wrong place.

Majinx24: You realize that what you have there now is like 1,000 times worse than what was there before. You ought to have just removed the stolen graphics, then PMed a mod if you wanted it closed so badly. (A thread like this usually dies and is forgotten after only a short period of time, anyway. :/)
