POKEMON DISTORTION BLACK

Wow, that's a kindly nice hack.I look forward to see more. I wonder why Dark Sneasel leave this project, keep on :)

All of your pixel art looks quite flat and pillowy. Have you tried showing your stuff to the spriting forum, they could help.

Is this a new thread? Weren't you already working on this?

It hasn't been said before, but I absolutely love all of your choices in your plant tiles! I've never seen those trees before, and the palette is weird but it works, haha! The grass looks unique and natural, having two accents for the tall grass is cool, I like how you blended that tall grass into the plains within the tile, and the paths aren't too bad either and look well-suited for the humid climate your hack presents. All in all, I can say it does a great job of being original work while not presenting so foreign-like as other custom tilesets so often do. I like that.

With that said, I do have some thoughts about the cliffs. The sprites for them look really plain and flat, and the grey colour doesn't help with that. Personally, I think the idea of grey cliffs is a solid one, but they need to appear really craggy - maybe like the cave cliffs from FireRed but colourized gray? I don't know. I think the custom buildings you drew could use some work as well.

I also think the kid with the forward-faced baseball cap is really neat. More things like that should be done :3

I'm not really sure how I've never seen this before.

It looks really good though. Everything. I'm not really one to criticize any kind of art because I'm not good at it myself, but I think it all looks great!

The only problem: I've never heard of "brick" tree. lol, sorry.
