Turnip genuinely didn't recognise this one at first - It looked so in place in Gen 1 lol

I'm not entirely sure why but I gave it the Raichu ear treatment.

A tricky one! It's got the same one-pixel eye as Giratina so... it's consistent at least lol. Blame Kouki Saitou for the awkward pose lol

Smugleaf! The backsprite is based on the one by PokéCommunity's Dreadwing93.

This one turned out really well! Now I only have one more difficult one before Sinnoh's over, since Shaymin shouldn't be too hard.

Oh boy, this one I'm proud of. So first off, I've reused its prototype colours, which is why its SGB palette is the lighter blue. Secondly and more importantly, while I was making Bronzor I decided I wanted to try drawing Bronzong from scratch. Lo and behold, the reference art which I posted yesterday. It's fully original, no tracing. The sprite itself is traced over the reference art I made, but it's still fully original. I'm genuinely so proud that I've made it this far since I started this project a year ago. I can't guarantee every sprite from here on out with be fully freehanded, but I will be trying to freehand them whenever I can. My freehand style is a little jank geometrically speaking, but it matches Gen 1's style very well in my opinion, so I think it fits lol

Took me just over three months to finish all of Sinnoh. Sylveon is my only interim sprite, and I'll be working on Victini next.

Since it's Pride Month it wouldn't have felt right not to give it its two-tone palettes even in the non-two tone Vibrant mode
