Sprite Discovery Discussion

Thank you so much for listening to our feedback! Will (when the variants and exclusives get revamped) the art team review the spritework of flame-covered pokemon sprites on PFQ, for example Sikannos, Shinorin, and Glaquine line to make them less fuzzy and more in-line with the types of flame we see on pokemon like Rapidash and Typhlosion?

I mean, glaquine doesn't actually have flames, it's fins that mimic flames so I'm not so sure that one needs changed

My personal POV - as well as echoing Impish - is to point out that Sikannos and Shinorin are our "cover Legends" (our equivalent of Groudon/Kyogre, Dialga/Palkia, Reshiram/Zekrom, Xerneas/Yveltal etc) and, as such, are fine having more details graphics. IMO.

I don't see any reason Glaquine, Cavallost, Shinorin, and Sikannos need to be changed, they're gorgeous

I’m hopping on in the middle of some important business to say... why did albino cyndaquil go from a nice muted pink/teal to... dirty sickly yellow?? And melan rowlet went from a unique black-gold to... dirty brown/purple?? I do not understand why these were changed when they looked unique and perfectly fine. It seems like all these changes are pushing towards the same muddied colors on all sprites. I’m so disheartened by both of these because I was saving up my resources to hunt both... Why fix something that isn’t broken when there’s plenty of other sprites that could use touchups? Why not save these drastic color changes for PFNew...? Also not a fan of dartrix’s new broken wing. It feels awkward and not as charming as the coy laugh one. I do love decidueye’s new pose, though! I Genuinely want to know: what was the intended end result? What was the thought process behind changing the colors so drastically, instead of maintaining the original color scheme and just touching it up?

Just a heads up to everyone, we are going to take another look at the cyndaquil line and try and get the peachy colour back. Thank you all for your feedback on this and I will let you know when these adjustments have been posted to the site :)

I'm happy to hear this, and I assume you mean the peachy body colour?

yeah the body colour which I recall a lot of people were fond of. This will mean small changes to the melan as well but hopefully it will be much more preferred by everyone~

Happy to hear the Albino body will be adjusted, the peachy was a much nicer colour ♥ I don't see any reason the melan needs to be changed again, they look fine =) Is it not possible to just revert the albino & melan sprites to what they were right before the change?
