In this ITT:
Cool things that Game Freak will never do
RBY-trasfer mons won't use their original menu sprites
>>25391445
>Cool
Nah
>RBY Pokemon come with a monochrome color pallet. Or at least a special effect when they're sent out.
have good sound effects again
>>25391493
>the color is based on what version they come from
>all red pikachu
>all yellow gyarados
So why exactly did GF use some non pokemon as these sprites?

Game Boy cartridges have VERY LITTLE memory.
>>25394390
he's asking why that swimming ball and top left flower are there when they dont resemble pokemon that were extant at the time
>>25391445
Togglable following Pokemon with full 3D Amie integration.
>>25391445
So what did theses menu icons mean? Were they based on Egg types? How were they assigned?
>>25394553
Because they're just meant to be generic stand-ins.

allow you to select any battle theme in the series during wireless battles.
>>25394582
at first i thought you were insulting anon because he doesnt know some obvious oldfag lore about the sprites, which i also didnt know
but then
>egg groups
kek
All I want is a special pokeball for rby transfers.
>>25394607
Not that guy, as I can clearly see why what he said seems stupid, but using egg groups kinda makes sense for the huge expansion of icons available for use in gen 2 when that shit started.
Transferred mons have 3D models based on the bizarre as heck sprites they had.
>Missingno can be transferred to Sun/Moon
>upon trying to interact with it in Sun/Moon, it starts to evolve except with the message "MISSINGNO is undergoing diagnostics!"
>gets a gen 1 style evolution animation where it flickers between glitched data and a 3d Porygon model
>turns into one of the Porygon line (60% chance of Porygon 1, 20% chance of Porygon2, 10% of Porygon Z) with a ribbon called "Extended Warranty"
>>25394656
even then, there are more than twice as many sprites as groups.
>>25394672
Yeah, but some of those were for special Pokemon. You clearly see the original starters, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Sudowoodo have special sprites just for them.
>>25394658
>yfw they announce they'll do this
>yfw they do it with voxel based models to imitate the pixel feel
I'm not sure if I want this.
>>25394692
I want this for meme sprites like R/B Golbat
Get an actual fucking Orchestra for once.
Bring the Battle Frontier back
>>25394659
i like this a lot but missingno deserves its own place alongside mew in all honesty. unofficial yet official.
>>25391493
>>25391551
>>25394658
>>25394692
Nuts to all that, give me a skin that lets my pokemon resemble the old watercolored art style of Red and Blue.
>>25394717
Fuck that bring the World Tournament BACK
>>25394714
fucking this
Using obviously synthetic instruments in a fucking 3DS game is inexcusable, Pokemon would sound glorious if the music was recorded by live instruments. Also Mega Johto starters

i dont understand why they're so braindead.
