    The jewels that Staryu and Starmie have weren't supposed to be so dark, they probably used black to make it contrast better.

    I did this myself to a handfull of them like 10 years ago, I specifically remember having done Blastoise, which is why this video caught my eye, I was shocked by how good these sprites actually looked in full colour. This brings back so many memories (especially as I lost the ones I did when my old laptop died, on second guess, it might have been 15 years ago, time flies), amazing to see all of them done this time around. Great video. Are you planning in doing Johto as well?

      Same here! It was around 2004 I think, sometime before FRLG. I recently discovered the Internet and found out I could see these sprites without playing the game, so my curiosity was led in the same direction, trying to revamp the old sprites. So many hours lost on MS Paint on my parents' computer...

  • @Schmiduku
    @Schmiduku 11 місяців тому +17

    I noticed the only thing separating these sprites from feeling like actual gen 3 sprites is that these recolors still have a lot of dark lines and dark areas that look jarring in full color. Like onix has the REALLY black planes on its body. They're very heavy in a visual sense and it brings me out of it.
    It also makes me hyper aware of what exactly makes gen 1 sprites kinda cursed. Like I can't help but notice that there are similarities between the sprite work of marowak and the machop line. There's a lot of doughy-ness to the drawing. Some look unfinished clay figures in full color.
