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.

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

      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”?
