Pokemon Gen 1 remake

[Alexsani]

"Pokemon generation 1 remake?" you ask.
"That has already been done! Look at FireRed and LeafGreen!"

"But," I reply, "it wasn't remade the way I wanted it to be."


So what is this n00b's first post on these forums about?
Simple. I wish to recolor and vamp up the old generation sprites to the color palettes of the newer games.

"Oh boy, another of these guys... Just starting a project and leaving it to rust, never to actually get anything done."

Not true. You vastly underestimate this 19 year-old's sense of nostalgia. In fact, I have already begun.

Here is the wip for the in battle Pokemon sprites:


throw animation (keep in mind it will be sliding, so despite minor mistakes, it may be fine. [AKA I don't feel like fixing it right now, but it is not out of the question])


a walking sprite for our hero:



EDIT: forgot the partysprites:

There are many mechanics that have to be considered, as in I will have to change the bag system, the old one was bad. Also, shininess, holding, etc need some thought before I make a decision.

I intend to code it myself, no ROM editing. I am a computer science student at a university, and I could definitely use the practice. What do you guys think?
