Colour-Matched Icons v2.0

The default Essentials v21.1 \Icons\ set uses the rips from the games, which are on a colour-limited pallette. This has always frustrated me, as those pallettes are one large, shared one across all Icons and does not reflect the actual colours of many of the associated 'mons. This is, simply, my take at colour matching the icons to the front sprites. It also removes the 'fade' effect present, this is a personal choice.

Note - Gen VI onwards uses 'better' icons overall with fixes and non-limited palettes, at least in the 3DS era - I would recommend using those if you want the most true-to-games experience or are using Gen VI+ assets; this is just about adjusting the Gen V supplied with Essentials icons to match their more 'correct' colours. I believe the Gen 9 pack uses the 3DS variants already.

Version 2.0: contains all Pokemon through Gen 5, including forms.

• Includes the two default Essentials eggs (standard and Manaphy)
• Unowns have been retouched from previous versions.

Roadmap: Ends here. I may come back and do touch-ups, but I have no plans to.

Installation: just copy the contents of the file into your \Graphics\Pokemon\Icons folder. You will have to overwrite them, so consider backing them up in case you don't actually like them.

Credits: Unnecessary but appreciated.

Feedback: This is a 'personal tastes' fix that I'm relatively happy with, so if I've missed anything please let me know, but if you'd prefer it to be more X or aren't a fan of Y, let us part silently as friends. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this.
