Ok guys, welcome to sprite submissions. This is where we make the sprites that will be the offical representation of our Pokemon in any sort of environment in which they are necessary. This should be a fairly straight forward step, and we have plenty of other stages to go through before we need to choose a sprite, so you should have plenty of time to work with.
Unlike the art stage where people were submitting art in pairs, sprites will be decided on individually, much like they were for the recently done Embirch and Flarelm. This means that while you can still submit sprites for both Pokemon, you could also submit for only one or the other if you feel like it or or are simply unable to do both.
While this stage should be going on for a while, note that I will post at least a 24 hour warning before closing. Anyways, the rules:
Rules
Sprite submissions for the sprite poll will be selected by the Topic Leader, based on preference and feedback in this thread. There is no process for overturning the Topic Leader's decision. If you are not comfortable with this stipulation, then do not make a sprite submission. Do not post any complaints here or in later threads.
Additional Information
There are 8 possible sprites:
Animations are not required and will not be used as part of the final product; however, it does add to the "appeal" aspect of your submission.
You do not have to make different Male and Female sprites, but it helps. Since there are only minute differences between most in-game male and female sprites, it’s not very hard to tweak the sprite for a different gender. Some spriters have made noticeable changes between genders, and that’s fine too.
Shinies are just recolors, so that’s not too tough. There’s lots of people that can’t scratch, that are willing to recolor your shiny, if you really don’t want to do it yourself. Just ask in the submission thread and you’ll get plenty of offers to help.
Please look at your transparent sprites against different colored backgrounds, not just white. In simulators, the sprite will be displayed on multiple background colors in the Team Builder and in battle.
Aurumoth is here if you need to reference it.

Rules
- Sprites should be inspired by the winning design from the Art Poll. It does not need to be an exact rendition of every detail of the design; "artistic license" is granted to all spriters. However, drastic deviation from the selected art design is discouraged.
- All sprites (front and back) can have a maximum size of 80x80.
- All sprites (front and back) must have a complete, unbroken, distinguishable outline. It does not need to be a black outline, but it must be clearly distinguishable from the adjacent interior colors of the sprite.
- No action effects, move effects, environment effects or additional objects can be rendered on or around the pokemon.
- Sprites must be in PNG format.
- Use 8-bit truecolor (aka 8-bit RGB) or less. This does NOT mean 256 color mode.
- Use transparent backgrounds.
- Fusions of other sprites are not allowed. All sprites must be scratch sprites.
- Do not alter, fuse, recolor or otherwise modify another spriter's submission – unless the original artist explicitly gives permission.
