Random idea, just throwing it out there. Figured now might be an okay time, maybe as a slight breather.
At the beginning of the current demo when you're choosing Boy or Girl the background is blank, and then when you make your choice it shows the character. (Top example.) I looked at Diamond / Pearl, Platinum, HGSS, and other generations and they always show the characters on-screen when you're making the choice, rather than after you choose. (Middle example.)
I had an idea for showing portraits of the characters during the gender selection, and then after the selection was made it would show the full-body sprite like it currently does. Or would it be possible to just show the full body sprites during the selection like they did in generations 3/4?
Diamond/Pearl and Platinum also had the sprites animated (walking for D/P and running for Platinum), and they would show the sprite moving depending on the option you were currently selecting. Could that be an option? I could try making some if so.
Just wondering if (A) this would be something people might want, and (B) if it's even possible (to program, implement, etc.).
I also tried making new intro sprites, but they don't have that forward-facing look to them like the current ones do so they're likely not ideal. Left them there in case someone wants to edit them or something. Though if the animated route is taken, I could try animating them if people wanted.
