WIP Custom Switch Styled Pokemon Icons

[MBCMechachu]

Back in November of 2019 I managed to round up some people to help with making Party/Box Menu icons in the style of Pokemon Sword & Shield for Pokemon that aren't going to be a part of the main game (& now the expansion pass.) Along with this I also plan to work on frame 2 versions of said icons to be in the same vane as the icons from gens 3-5. A spreadsheet will soon be eventually displayed to what Pokemon have already been done & what haven't. I'm still getting the hang on this thread stuff.

We may also make shiny sprites for every icon, but at the moment, that isn't a priority.

 

[MBCMechachu]

So to summarize what exactly is going to be happening these are the things we plan to do. Ever since 2019 Pokemon that are considered fully evolved were given brand new sprite art for the party/box menu. One of the things that we plan to do is make custom sprite art for the Pokemon we know aren't returning in the expansion pass. These Pokemon would be the following:

[Mega-Pokebattlerz]

Most of these are pretty damn good (love the Muk, , Johto Starters,, Breloom, Darkrai, Serperior, Florges, Kalos starters and Toucannon, for example), and the fixes to some of the mons are much appreciated, but there are still a few nitpicks I have.

View attachment 270802 I can barely make out Farfetch'd's leek here. maybe try adding more green to the top of it?
View attachment 270775 I can barely tell the difference between this and Porygon's actual menu sprite.

View attachment 270807 I don't know, something about Mew's legs just looks... off to me.
View attachment 270792 Girafarig's snout looks a bit deformed.
View attachment 270795 Granbull could stand to be a bit larger actually, you can barely see its eyes like this.
View attachment 270797 Ursaring's head could be a bit larger as well, keeping in line with Pangoro and Urshifu's sprites.

View attachment 270806 Stantler's face also looks deformed.
View attachment 270808 The marking around Smeargle's eye could be a bit thicker.
View attachment 270828 Medicham looks wonky AF.
View attachment 270829 View attachment 270831 I think Plusle and Minun should be scaled up a bit to match Emolga and the other Pikaclones.

(well, most of them).
View attachment 270846 View attachment 270847 View attachment 270848 View attachment 270850 I get these are works in progress but holy fuck why is Deoxys so lanky no other regular minisprite is like this and it's honestly starting to freak me out a bit
View attachment 270861 Pachirisu could be scaled up a bit too.
View attachment 270863 Ambipom's body looks fine, but the head looks way too weird.
View attachment 270876 - Land Forme Shaymin is fine, but I can't make out Skymin's eyes.
View attachment 270882 Leavanny's head looks wrong. I this this one could stand to be a bit larger, maybe around Scizor's height (not counting the antennae).
View attachment 270884 Meloetta's eyes take up half its face and it's freaking me out.
View attachment 270888 ...tf is up with Vivillon's head?
View attachment 270901 Where are Mega Beedrill's wings?
View attachment 270905 I get that you used Kanto Raichu as a base, but the proportions for Alolan Raichu are way off as a result (mainly the ears) and I'd honsetly probably would've preferred it if you started from scratch.
View attachment 270907 Alolan Ninetales's head fur could be a bit longer.
View attachment 270910 Mega Alakazam's beard, to put it simply, looks rough.
View attachment 270915 Again, I get the logic behind using regular Pinsir as a base, but this stance does not transfer well to the flying Mega Pinsir. Also, the horns could be a bit bigger.
View attachment 270917 Don't Aerodactyl's horns turn rocky when it Mega Evolves?
View attachment 270931 Mega Medicham looks way too small.
I get the SWSH minisprites are no masterpiece either (see

imo) but there are still some improvements to be made here.

Just thought I'd let you know this work is mainly being kept on Deviantart & most of these we hope are alleviated there.
https://www.deviantart.com/pikafan2000/art/National-Pokedex-Version-Delta-Icon-Dex-824897934
As for stuff that has been alleviated already:

Porygon has been updated to be more in line with the height of Porygon2 & Porygon-Z. The older one was made before having the knowledge of how big Porygon2's sprite was going to be.
On a related note Plusle, Minun & Pachirisu all were made to scale with the Pikaclones, we had originally based them off Togedemaru's height & way before we knew Emolga & Dedenne were going to be part of the Isle of Armor.

Mew & Stantler have also been reworked.

Ursaring got a scratch build

Occasional assistance from Smogon user LeParagon has helped to improve the looks of sprites like these tenfold. However any & all mega evolution sprites will for the time being will be posted to the XY project thread as to tie in to the project.

Any chance of doing the Manaphy Egg icon?
