Currently, Showdown displays sprites from a specific game for every generation, despite multiple viable sets of sprites existing for multiple generations.
As an avid Gen 1 player, being forced to play with Yellow sprites is not ideal. I'd much prefer Red & Blue (or even Red & Green).
These games are all capable of connecting with each other in real life, so it follows that the user should get to decide what specific game they are playing, and by extension what sprites they see on their screen.
I am aware that you can use Tampermonkey scripts, but these only work in battle and not in the teambuilder. And I just think that this is a natural feature that many users would enjoy.
These options should simply be listed in the options sidebar on the right, in the Graphics section. There would be a dropdown for Gen 1 (RG, RB, Y), Gen 2 (G,S,C), Gen 3 (RS, FRLG), Gen 4 (DP, HGSS). Thank you!
