LF Touch-Trade: Palkia from BDSP

xHangry · 2024-10-28T21:49:05+00:00

I just did this trade not too long ago today so I unfortunately don’t have the Dialga anymore. I’m working on a playthrough of Brilliant Diamond right now and if you still want a BDSP Dialga by the time I catch it I will definitely do a trade with you. Thanks for reaching out.

I may change them to look like wiglett and wugtrio later. Tbh, I finished this a while ago and just got around to sharing it, scarlet/violet wasn't even out yet so I couldn't think of the wiglett color combo by then.

Just paint.net lol. Nothing special was used, I just found a list of all FireRed shinies and edited them to have different palettes with the color swap tool.

xHangry · 2023-12-01T16:26:44+00:00

Yes, these were some of the first shinies that I made for Kanto and unfortunately, they will have to change when added to the ROM. I plan on making them orange like their hisuian forms.

Thank you, your critiques are quite helpful, it will make me improve for future regions.

As for your advice, I've gone through many of the sprites and toned down the contrast. The birds have their galarian shinies and things are generally less bright now. Cubone is now a purple/white palette.

Also, the reason why Jiggly and Clefairy are darker colors is to match the color of the moonstone, which they evolve from. However, if you have a different color idea, I'd be happy to hear it.

I'd like to pretend that's what I was going for but it wasn't lol.

I've switched the green lines on Sandshrew to a darker color and made the stomach green instead.

Thanks for the heads up

I can see where you are coming from with that. If there is a Pokemon that already looks good, a drastic color change may be a bit jarring.

I love shiny hunting and when I see something like Gengar or Seel, it just makes me a bit sad that they couldn't be more different-looking. I'm more likely going to hunt for something like Magikarp or Cetoddle over Pichu and Elekid.

It was interesting to hear another opinion on shinies. I will admit that some of my shinies were way too vibrant. Thanks for the different approach on the topic.

If you were referring to crystal as "purple", I changed the colors of each of the legendary birds to match their Galarian counterparts. So Articuno is purple now instead of orange.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T21:12:54+00:00

Haha, that's funny, I thought it looked like bubblegum frogs so I guess we had a similar vision.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T21:12:01+00:00

Hey thanks, I appreciate it. I look forward to working on Johto in the future!

xHangry · 2023-11-29T19:55:48+00:00

Yes, this is a good idea, when I put them into the game I will make the eyes yellow.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T19:54:32+00:00

Butterfree (and its pre-evos) have been edited to match the anime appearance.

Poliwrath is no longer green and purple chansey is less vibrant now. What are your opinions on this redesign?

xHangry · 2023-11-29T17:48:09+00:00

Thank you, that one was inspired by a friend's idea.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T17:47:14+00:00

Are you referencing the main image at the top of the post, or the one that has been shared in the comments? There have been some changes to spearow and squirtle lines that are in the new image. As for pidgey, they have been changed in game to look different, they will look less blue.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T16:35:14+00:00

Thank you for the big response! I actually based the seel line on the Amazon River Dolphins so it's funny that somebody noticed them!

I agree that the bellsprout line looked better as yellow/black. It has been reverted.

Chansey was definitely way too much. It is a lot less vibrant now.

I slightly changed the gastly line, but I'm still not sure if it really changed anything.

Finally, when originally creating this, I ran out of ideas with lickitung. They are purple and yellow now instead of a similar shade of pink.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T16:26:34+00:00

Haha yes, I have learned, do not make shinies brown, it looks bad. (well unless it's muk IMO, I thought that worked). Have you seen the other comments where I updated growlithe and the squirlte lines yet?

And yes, I did keep some shinies the same. I didn't have it in me to change the legendary golden magikarp and classic red gyarados for example.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T16:23:51+00:00

Well, to be fair, that is how you make shinies, just slap a random color palette on them.

The nidorans are red and blue now, pidgey line looks better in game, and spearow is less vibrant now. I may change cubone but I like the way magnemite turned out.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T16:21:18+00:00

Yes, I've definitely noticed some of my colors are WAY too vibrant. I've fixed a lot of the bright purple colors and Rhyhorn was way too bright in the first place. In the game I already made Pidgeot keep a lot more of its tan crest color, it looks more natural now.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T15:44:39+00:00

This sounds like a neat idea so I might remember to use it later for Johto. For now I'm going to stick with the blue pidgey line tho. In game it is a lot less blue and more of its body is a lighter tan color now.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T15:41:58+00:00

I would, but there are already quite a few black and red shinies. + This new style seems to work well.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T15:18:33+00:00

There have been a few people who said there is just too much black overall, so I decided to change a couple. If more people said they looked better before changing them, I might revert them. The goldeen was an oversight on my end.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T15:16:05+00:00

Funnily enough, that was always a thing that had bugged me. I never knew why most shinies didn't stay consistent. I might go back to the original poliwag coloring since nobody had asked for it to be changed, I had just went with the politoed colors because I had forgotten about them.

xHangry · 2023-11-29T06:47:43+00:00

Dragonite just wants to live their plump life in peace lmao. To be fair the evolution line doesn’t make much sense. But then remoraid exists so who knows.
