Add sprites from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[WSLUser]

I'd like to see the sprites added here from the latest 2 Pokemon games to release. Thanks in advance.

Will the scarlet and violet Pokémon icons work in this project? I mention it because I couldn't have icons as good as yours just by resizing.

@WSLUser, @msikma I hope it can be of some use to you

maybe it's also worth using the sprites from these pixel artists:

I asked the last artist about it here: https://twitter.com/supereffectiv/status/1609592549072683014?s=20&t=ynPIoenT4K4ezyDGVvLa7Q

So the Ezerart (Alex) gave permission to use his assets in this project if we give him credits. He said he is finishing them and once they are done he will publish them in original quality on his Deviantart.

I also got contacted by MBCMechachu to let me know about the National Pokedex Version Delta project, which has all the sprites for Gen 9 already finished. We only need to add a link to this credits list in the contributions.md file.

As you can see the sprites of this big project are created by many different artists. This is just a personal opinion, but it's worth maybe considering that the ones from Ezerart look more consistent for Gen 9 since they are from the same author.

[MBCMechachu]

Hey just a heads up but these sprite here actually are all stolen from this website: https://yakkun.com/sv/zukan/#filter=9
As for Roaming Form Gimmighoul that sprite originates from Deviantart User CarmaNekko.

I kind of overlooked this one earlier but I've already gone through with showing my icon dex to msikma seeing as how I have contact with them over Discord. Along with that I've also gone through with showing them that I do in fact plan to cover item sprites now that it's been made clear they aren't coming back either.

By now I looked through many icons and so far I think the ones from Ezeart are the best ones lookwise. The Yakkun-Dex, which is the most spread one, is just a pixelated version of the current "drawn" sprites. Im not trying to talk the effort down or something, but I think the custom made ones from Ezeart look far more Gamefreak-like and clean.

Also @msikma if you need help compiling/gathering all the data, let me know. Either via GitHub or Discord (Alex#0491) will work, I didn't start because I don't know how much is already done.

[itsjavi]

I agree with @koenigderluegner
and the Yakkun-Dex icon sizes are 32x32, which are very small compared to the Sw/Sh style
but it might be worth to include them in the future as an alternate size

Only issue with that would be finding 3DS Styled sprites done for the gen 8 mon. As of now the custom sprites for ones from Legends Arceus vary in quality. On top of that the Pokesprite project iirc has been using Switch Style for fully evolved mons.

[itsjavi]

@MBCMechachu right, mixing different height styles for evolved mons might be a problem

[talwat]

Is this still being worked on?

[itsjavi]

@talwat yes, there are discussions with msikma and he will do it as soon as he gets the time.
we already have the sprites

[Bakery300]

I hope I'm not a bother, I was wondering if this project is still being worked on for adding the Gen 9 sprites or if there's any way to assist. I've been using this Github to run a digital table top and my jurry rigged method of adding the new sprites from my collection of icons just crashed and burned. I made an account to see if everything was till active.

@arodriguez810 What's the source of those icons? Do you have any of the newer ones after #1010 (Iron Leaves)?

[martimlobao]

In case anyone is interested, I create a fork with the new sprites from SV: https://github.com/martimlobao/pokesprite

It's a hard fork, meaning that I'm only including a small subset of all the work @msikma has done, and I'm mainly maintaining it for my own use case. Essentially, I'm primarily only interested in a single canonical sprite version for each Pokémon and Pokémon form (as opposed to keeping different versions for e.g. gen 8 and 7). I'll also be adding shiny sprites where I can find them, but only as a secondary goal. I've also kept the item sprites but might delete them in the future.

If this sounds like something anyone is interested in, feel free to use the sprites in your spreadsheet or whatever.
