Dear Moderators:
I am here for asking that if the Hong Kong flag in the Country Setting can be changed.

I found that the HK flag in the Country Setting is not accerate(I think I spelled wrong).The HK flag should be like this.

The photo will be uploaded later.

Thanks

Well... Actually most flags are not very accurate, if you pay attention to other ones (Vietnam flag is kinda inaccurate too because of how odd the star in the flag looks, but well, not gonna complain just because of that X'D)

This is because flag icons are extremely small (30x18 pixels) and they're pixel arts, which means not all details can be fit into that flag icon (I wouldn't be able to draw the flag accurately if I were the one who made flag icons too)

Pixel art has never been accurate, especially when it's so small that 1 pixel could ruin the whole art (or flag). I don't really think there's a way to fix it unless the pictures of flags can be resized instead, but that would make the flag become extremely blurry.
(I tried resizing HK flag, and it looked almost identical to the one on PH. You can't draw the red lines that connect the center with smaller red flowers, either)

Hmmm, I think if Pokeheroes staff can use uploaded photos for the flag, it will be better.

In another hand, the HK flag that I noticed is a bit too inaccurate...(I am HKer so I will notice the HK flag at the first moment)

I appreciate your help.

How exactly is the flag inaccurate?


It's a 30x18px sprite, so of course it's not the most detailed depiction. But in my opinion it looks very much like the original flag?
