To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon Emerald‘s launch in Japan, a collective of 130 artists has collaborated to create a romhack featuring newly redrawn versions of all 386 Pokémon from the game.

Saved you a click.

It's called Emerald Resprited. Has a Vanilla version with just the sprite changes, and a different version where all 386 are catchable and trainer rosters are adjusted to match up with each artist's contributions.

Incredibly inconsistent quality of the sprites. Just take a quick scroll through their google doc. Actual artist work right next to obvious child scribbles.

How can someone look at all these different styles, let alone the ones that literally look like they're drawn by a six-year-old, and think, "Yeah, that's fine"?

Not to mention charmander's obvious rip off of Agumon (the Digimon) lol

Especially because there are tons of Roms with very good sprite and also a totally new adventure and all new Mons.

I can see why the title says stunning cause I am stunned how this is anything but a joke? I could design better sprites and I only draw stick figures ffs

No way this is not a joke. There is a Digimon in there.
