Sprite Discovery Discussion

After following along this discussion over the past week, I wonder if this has been considered. In the past, I have seen sites whom update sprites provide the option to the user to remain using the old sprite or update to the new version. Of course, newly hatched would automatically be using the new sprite. This also adds another layer of value to retired sprites and essentially to the game as well, as those sprites can only be obtained through user-user trades.

Oof I know I'm super late to the revamp discussion and this has probably been said before but whatever Is there a reason that melan cascoon is a much different color than any other in the melan wurmple line? Both the normal and albino line have it to where the color of cascoon is very similar to the color of dustox's body. I feel like it would make more sense for that to be the case too for melan cascoon and dustox. It's kind of jarring to me that beautifly and silcoon match, but cascoon and dustox don't. Sorry for being nitpicky ^^'

@PK I'm not meaning to be rude (I know you're likely thinking- 'Oh no there she goes again with that' but hear me out) You're on the graphics team, do you not have a say in that? I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding but with your wording it feels like one person is deciding everything? and then being stubborn and saying it all needs to be consistent Or that it's all set in stone and consistency is killing the creativity of the melans? "I too wish things like that could be different" :? Well what's stopping you? You're directly on the graphics team which I can only assume works on the sprites. (Unless there are different divisions and you don't work in that department? This is why we need to know these things so we can better suggest ideas as a userbase but that's a different thing entirely) I'd like to think you could at least bring up some colors and say 'Hey I think X, X, or X would look nice" or do you have as little say as us (the userbase) in the matter? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding or anything, I'm just confused because I personally- I can't speak for anyone else, know very little about how the innerworkings of the art team are.

Yes i have a say in what goes on, but i don't make the rules.
