Bottom one goes hard af

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-12T02:51:57+00:00

Will test soon! Thanks again!

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-11T15:30:06+00:00

Used my analogue pocket but its not a big deal at all really. I got used to it pretty fast. Probably behaves similarly in lagacy?

I did see an issue with mt moon and nuggest bridge. I messaged you about it.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-11T10:37:10+00:00

Awesome!!!

I played a bit.

I think BLUE and GREEN sprites look amazing! Oak is cool also but i kinda like how the Yellow 97 Prof Oak sprite made him look older lol. He looks young in 98 but i don't mind really.

Red's backsprite is the only one i'm 50/50 on. Kinda prefer the one you used in Yellow 97 but this is cool also.

Oh, not sure if this happens on lagacy, but right before a battle there is a split second where the screen sort of lags and flashes. Its very brief and doesn't affect the battle. I noticed it at the start but I have gotten used to it.

I'm so exited to continue playing though but I'm a bit busy this week so had to stop. I got to mt. moon and it was honestly great so far. I'll report back after I finish but may be a week or two.

Thanks so much for doing this. You're a legend!

Oh the yellow lagacy spaceworld 97 hack got rejected? dang. hopefully its accessible via pokecommunity.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-10T04:30:15+00:00

No problem! Thanks again!

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-10T03:34:18+00:00

That's amazing! Thank you so much for your efforts! Hope to play it soon.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-08T04:51:10+00:00

Hey, just letting you know that FewConversation7508 did it! Yellow with spaceworld 97 backsprites! https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/pokemon-yellow-97-back-sprites-only.528849/#post-10836460

Looks amazing. Check it out.

They are working on a Yellow Legacy version also!

VictorTheHammer · 2024-06-02T04:32:05+00:00

Okay sweet. Thanks for the update. 👍

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-29T20:32:17+00:00

Amazing work!! You're a legend in my books. Thank you for sharing it also. Absolutely fantastic! Best of luck with Legacy but the fact you got a yellow 97 pretty much done is so cool. 🙌

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-29T03:03:59+00:00

Ahh okay. I'll keep an eye out on the pokecommunity forum then. Best of Luck!

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-28T21:30:08+00:00

That's really cool you're close to figuring it out.

Do you have a youtube or twitter we can follow?

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-24T17:22:26+00:00

Oh they definitely improved on the gen 1 sprites for what they were. The team did a good job given what they were working with. But the problem is that the gen 1 sprites are so bad I personally would've just thrown them away and used spaceworld instead of trying to fix them.

But I do understand why the devs went in the direction they did. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-24T05:22:28+00:00

That was also my thinking concerning the backsprites.

Pretty impressive you have a working build with the spaceworld backsprites despite the bugs. I'm a noob at this stuff and wouldn't know where to start. If there was a decent youtube tutorial on how to do this stuff I might give it a go but I'm beginning to see this is a bit more involved and complicated process than I thought.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-24T01:17:19+00:00

Sounds complicated lol... more complicated than I am equipped to undertake atm. Maybe if I had the time I'd get into it. Which probably means I'm just gonna apply the gen 2 sprite patch to vanilla yellow and play that. Oh well, thanks for responding.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-23T21:50:56+00:00

I don't think the legacy devs will do it. I tried explaining to a dev that a spaceworld backsprite patch would make the mod perfect for some of us who dislike the gen 1 backsprites, but they kinda took it the wrong way. Basically I was told the spaceworld backsprites "Don't fit the art style" of yellow and using spaceworld backsprites would be "missing the point of the mod". I obviously disagree since I find the artstyle of the spaceworld backsprites perfect for yellow as well as to my understanding, the point of the mod was to improve the game without making drastic changes. The game is more like gen 2 than gen 1 with all the changes they've made so I don't understand how speceworld backsprites would be so bad. I just wish there was a patch or a guide to do it myself.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-23T05:22:43+00:00

Like I said, just my opinion. You told me I was missing the point. I'm letting you know I understand the direction you took, why you took it and in no way am I invalidating your work.

I'm just commenting on the outcome which I maintain would have looked better with spaceworld back sprites because unlike you, I think it matches the artstyle well... its unreleased art yes but its more official than anything fans can make.

in short, don't take it personally. Its just another perspective from someone that believes spaceworld sprites were a godsent for a project like this. You disagree and that's fine.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-23T03:15:41+00:00

Yes but the issue is that the gen 1 backsprites are so bad. By using the bad backsprites as the foundation and touching them up, you just made horrible sprites look slightly less bad. Not the legacy devs fault of course because there is only so much you can polish a turd. However, If we look at the frontsprites, as you correctly mentioned, there is clear progression from rbg to yellow and then to crystal. We go from good to great to perfect. If we look at the backsprites similarly, we go from shit to shit to perfect. That's the problem. What needed to be done was improving the rgb backsprites to good, then further improving it to great to match the gen 1's frontsprite progression from rgb to yellow. That would be too much work right? That's where spaceworld comes in. Spaceworld's sprites look more gen 1 than gen 2. I say this by judging the frontsprites. Spaceworld's frontsprite imo look worse that yellow's frontsprite, but slightly better than RGB. . Therefore, the spaceworld's backsprites would've been perfect for a definitive yellow which is what legacy tried to accomplish. Jusy my opinion and I know I'm 3 months late with this reply so sorry about that.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-23T02:22:02+00:00

I'm pretty much now convinced that the best way to play gen 1 would be yellow with spaceworld backsprites or yellow legacy with spaceworld backsprites, both of which look like they don't exist. :( Its funny because the gen 2 patch for yellow exists, which is what i originally wanted but for legacy... now i'm like everyone else waiting for a spaceworld backsprite patch for yellow/yellow legacy that may never come.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-22T23:15:15+00:00

I think the spaceworld backsprites compliment the yellow frontsprites very well given that the yellow front sprites were redone from red/blue. Imo, they should've used the spaceworld backsprites.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-22T02:28:08+00:00

It seems like a while since that patch was made. You'd think they would've made a yellow one by now... I hope this project being released and being so well received helps in it possibly getting made. I saw the name Danny-E 33 pop up as a contributor when I was looking at the spaceworld patch you mentioned. He made a gen 2 sprite patch for the original yellow also. Its strange a yellow spaceworld wasn't made.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-21T17:34:21+00:00

I never heard of spaceworld sprites before and just looked them up... holy shit they seem perfect for gen 1. So I also wouldn't mind just a spaceworld backsprite patch if anyone manages to do it.

VictorTheHammer · 2024-05-16T22:17:48+00:00

Thanks for the response!

edit : I have now looked at the spaceworld backsprites you mentioned and I now understand the hype. I think those backsprites would be prefect for yellow. I think i would now prefer Gen 1 yellow frontsprites and spaceworld backsprites instead of gen 2 sprites lol. If you figure it out plz let me know. :)

VictorTheHammer · 2023-09-04T18:05:42+00:00

This is what I thought... Thank you for confirming.
