All Gens PS now enables old sprites for old gens

[Joim]

See:
https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown-Client/pull/293

PS now defaults to use old sprites for old gens with the option to use only modern (BW or XY) sprites. I hope you like it :)

 

[Mr.378]

Excellent. This is what I feel that the old gens on showdown were missing. It'll be more fun playing the tiers now that this can be enabled.

 

[magic9mushroom]

YES.

I really hated the XY sprites when playing RBY.

Same here.

YES.

I really hated the XY sprites when playing RBY.

Isn't that a little much?
EDIT: Whoops, thought you hated the XY sprites. I agree.

No. I am entitled to my aesthetic preferences.

You kinda got Ninja'd. Hate to burst your bubble.

 

[TheInsanity]

Well, this is awesome. Thanks for the hard work.

Rby with the old sprites should be even more nostalgic.

 

[aim]

thank you for all your hard work!

 

[jeronipuff]

:]

 

[Xeze]

Awesome!

 

[Ken Val]

you guys rock!

Dude I thought mechanics fixes in time for SPL was pretty baller. This is good shit.

I don't care that they're set to pure Yellow / Crystal and don't allow for NBS-style customization for now (e.g., Green sprites or Silver sprites). As long as they match the gen, that actually adds a ton to the feel of the game (for some reason).

 

[Layell]

How many months has it been since we put the sprites even on the sim lol.

Based Joim our oldgen redeemer.

Hey there, I've also implemented the Special visual for gen 1, also available upon next client update! https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown-Client/commit/1055c196fd93a991655cad9ef8d341465d69b311

It's live.

 

[aVocado]

Now I will always remember that Rotom-W's typing is Electric/Ghost not Electric/Water in dpp!! Amazing.

 

[The Immortal]

In addition, I have removed hidden abilities from the "possible abilities" in old gens.

 

[Jorgen]

Oh man some old-gen music would be pretty choice too just sayin.

That or some Phoenix Wright music, can't go wrong with that.

 

[Xeze]

Put in the sexy rival battle music from G/S/C. And/or the Gym Leader/Elite 4 one.

 

[MoxieInfinite]

Shoulda been something called SPL mode. If it's a ladder game, it's regular trainer battle theme, if it's an SPL game it'd be Gym Leader/E4 music, and if it's SPL finals, it'd be Champion theme.

Don't actually take this seriously.

 

[Layell]

My special RBY background should be up relatively soon, so you will have a cool new way to play gen 1.

For those who haven't seen it: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/fx/bg-gen1.png

This works for gen 2 as well, but I'll be making on for gen 1-4 soon enough! (working on gen 3/4 atm).

 

[Alfalfa]

It is good to see that Joim is making progress on Smogon once more.

 

[Inspirited]

I am unsure whether this is just the replayer, but a lot of gen 5 sprites are taking on the wrong dimensions:

Badly sized sprites in this replay

Scizor- back
Thundurus- front
Metagross- front
Heatran- back
Tyranitar- front
Rotom-W- back
Latios- front

Badly sized sprites in this replay

Politoed- back
Ferrothorn- back
Mew- front
Tentacruel- front, back
Tyranitar- front
Tornadus- back
Garchomp- front

I am not entirely sure, but it looks like these are trying to take on the dimensions of their XY counterparts.

Great job, it's an amazing thing, thank you!
