Accesories For Pokemon
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → Accesories For Pokemon@diana, everyone would get to pick out 5 free accesories from the First Shelf (or simething with a similar-ish name)
It'd be nice to be able to dress up your prized pokemon, with accessories from the pokemon games :)
There's literally no benefit to having it, but it is a time waster, and everyone loves those when they're looking for something to do :)
It'd be a great way to also introduce contests onto the site that involve having users enter said dressed pokemon, and have others vote on it, for prizes and such.
Since Pokemon have different sizes and some don't even have limbs such as arms or legs and some have wings or extra arms, and in different spots, so there's no way to make a template that would fit all. You would need a template for every Pokemon, events and legendaries and ones with different forms, and the accessories themselves would have to be different too in sizes.
And I've seen people saying to make their own accessories, and all I can imagine are users trying to take sprites from the Pokemon games, with square white backgrounds, wondering why the accessories don't work or why it doesn't look good or stretched or blurry. And making the spriters make the accessories correct for Pokemon with the given differences it's too much.
So no support, it doesn't seem worth the time or effort just to customize the Pokemon. If anything, I'd think it'd be easier for people to go and look up the accessories used in the Pokemon game and add them to sprites on programs such as photoshop or GIMP or Paint, etc. and show them off instead of making the spriters of PH make and design every accessory for every Pokemon when some users might not even use the feature.
The pictures wouldn't look good at that point, blurry or scrunched, and the sprites on here would look clustered. Like I said, it'd be easier for users to make it on their own and just sport the sprite in their signature to have as many accessories as they want on their Pokemon sprite. Granted it won't battle, but at least it would take a load of work and coding off Riako and spriters for something purely cosmetic.
