Pokémon sprite overhaul
Forum Index > Core > Announcements > News Archive >
Following user feedback, we have some adjustments for Albino and Melanistic Pokémon.
Over the past few revamps, we've noticed some consistent feedback. Complaints that the Melanistics are too bright, and the Albinos are too dark.
More veteran users, who were around for Generation 6's release, will know this already: We take user feedback extremely literally. Previously, we were persistently pestered for promises on the provenance of pretty pictures presented to portray their Pokémon with pixels. And so we did. And it was glorious. (We even got on TVTropes because of it! "Be careful what you wish for"!)
Therefore, I'm here to announce a global overhaul to Albino and Melanistic sprites, to better comply with the user demands to have them better represent their namesakes.
This project will of course take time, as there are a significant number of sprites to do, but I have a few examples to show today.
We hope this update brings you joy, and look forward to further feedback. Should this displease you, worry not! Easter is but a week and a half away and we will be happy to offer you an Egg in these trying times!

I was very confused about the examples until I realized what day it is lol
You got me!
i am no longer actively playing. i log in to scour and occasionally click fields, but that's it.
i have insomnia and i'm chronically ill, so i might be slow to return pm's. please bump the message if i haven't responded within 24 hours.
thank you so much for your patience! ❤
Eh, I feel like Melanistic Absol is still too bright; if I blow up its sprite 2000 times to fill my laptop screen, the screen still emits light. I would like for it to absorb all light similar to Vantablack, if possible.
