>>55864106>sucks that Gardevoir in the base game has something like 20 base sprites whereas half the fusions in the game have nothing.The issue is that the people who makes sprites for this game want the dopamine of having people say their sprites are good/cool, but it's near impossible to get that same level of positive reception with certain Pokemon, which tend to be the ones that get no sprites. People will always shower more praise on a Gardevoir or a Giratina than they will for, say, a Monferno or a Pidgeotto.
Also for certain mons like the various regional birds, people will shit their pants and cry that the design isn't "recognizable as the mon" if it isn't basically a glorified recolour. Meanwhile a Gardevoir can just be "vaguely female-shaped anime reference" and people will say it's perfectly recognizable. And that means less creative designs, which means less positive feedback.
>>55866673It's one singular user on the discord who makes a ton of them.
That person is to Machoke (and sometimes Machamp) what the one poster here is to Jynx. There's a few mons that have a single dedicated autist that makes a fuck-ton of decent-to-great quality sprites for them.
