Dancing Flowers

Hisuian Lilligant is here!

For once everything came together exactly how I envisioned it, with only one problem: no FK control for accessories, which is a shame because her wrist ribbons did come out quite nice. Well, at least they have physics enabled, but unless you replicate them in studio, they'll simply dangle.

I don't know if there's much else to say about this. Sub turns off ...

Flower Garden

Petilil and Lilligant are here!

I think it's fair to say that Lilligant here was the most difficult card I've ever had to make, at least in terms of non-Megas or Legendaries that are already dificult because of time spent. Lilligant, however, has a lot of parts that didn't quite want to work together so a lot of time was spent just adjusting different parts, but it all came together in the e...

Rolling Rock

Roggenrola, Boldore and Gigalith are here!



Whew, this line took a bit of work.

Some parts are attached to their outfits, while other parts I wanted attached to their bodies themself, but you can toggle them around and see for yourself - primarily, Gigalith's orange armor parts and both her and Boldore's sphere shoulder pads attach to their main outfit and are also turned off for some...

Icy Hot Patch

Galarian Darmanitan Zen Mode is here!

Jeez, what another mouthful.

This was actually simpler than I thought it was going to be, although I did end up making more adjustments since I wasn't fully satisfied, though it turned out all she was missing was a decent neck piece. At the end of the day, she is simply an alternate mode for the previous release's Galarian Darmanitan, so she maintains the ...

Snow-Away

Galarian Darumaka and Galarian Daramanitan are here!

Well, I was contemplating releasing these two alongside Galarian Daramanitan's Zen Mode Form (what a mouthful!) but it definitely will require more work than I can squeeze in without actually delaying this another day or two, and since I (accidentally) separated them with the regular forms, I might as well do it again.

Not much to say about ...

Pale Blue Fire

Zen Mode Darmanitan is here!

Yeah, so, normally this would have simply released with the rest of it's set from the other day with Darumaka and Darmanitan (standard mode), but I didn't actually know this sprite existed until I stumbled across it in the alternate forms spritesheet. Honestly, because I've never played pasted Gen 4 (and really only the HGSS remakes), I didn't know this thing existed a...

Fiery Zensation

Darumaka and Darmanitan are here!

Absolutely had to do these ones as quickly as possible because of my sudden realization of Zen Mode Darmanitan AND their Galarian versions, which will all be coming soon!

Uniquely, Darmanitan's fiery hair utilizes some transparency sheets which is another experimental step in our forever-quest to find the perfect fire replication in KK, and ...

The Dark Samurai

Hisuian Samurott is here!

I took a few liberties with this design since I wanted her helmet to look more like H Samurott's actual helm, which covers most of the top of her head and curves back behind her. As a result, I decided against adding a ponytail, since it simply wouldn't fit.

Her patterned sleeve and skirt were hand painted but I must remind everyone I'm not an artis...

Juniper Berry Mead

Professor Aurea Juniper is here!

Okay, this is admittingly a quick & simple release to fill in before H Samurott, but it's also nice that we finally have another Professor on the roster. This technically makes, like, our 5th or 6th one, but I'm discounting the older ones so let's just say she's officially our 4th Professor.

Either way. Simple build which I actually took ...

Update #65 - Sprite Dump Previews

Well, here we are again with another preview post of the upcoming releases!

I meant to post this last night, but I scrapped it due to some issues, such as some incorrect planning (mixing up some Gen 6 Pokemon as being Gen 5, which we'll talk about next month) and having to edit the sprites thanks to Patreon's recent MASSIVE fuck up with image distortion, buuuut after sleeping on it I felt like it would be worth doing after all. The format this time will be different, however, so let's ...

The Survey Corps, Redux

Akari has been updated!

This is a small release, with only some minor adjustments to the previously released Akari. Since it's not a major rework or new release, this will be a public released.

The main update is with her face and body model, which were a bit outdated. I've also adjuste...

Hyakka Ryōran, II

Oshawott, Dewott and Samurott have been reworked!

With this, we have our final Gen 5 Starter set actually complete, and we've prepped the way for Hisuian Samurott, which will come soon.

Like other reworks, I basically did these from the ground up, since a substantial amount of work had to go into them. All of them have received entirely overhauled face, body, and clothi...

Sweet Notes, too

Mega Audino is here!

 I tried something slightly different with Mega Audino that I normally don't do for others, even with other Megas, and that's to give her some distinct outline coloration for all of her outfit and accessory parts, except for her tail. I was going to do her body/face outline too, but that was a bit overkill. Mainly, this gives her appearance a more ethereal "...

Sweet Notes

Audino is here!

There was a slight delay with this release because, in a rare instance of me messing something up, I actually did the wrong design for her initially. There's two sprites, and I didn't actually know she had a Mega version as well (which is coming after this release), so after I had basically finished with the original design, I had to redo it.

I'm actually glad I did, though, a...

The Straiton City Gym Leaders Chili, Cilia and Cressia are here!

Zygarde 50% is here!

 The third part of the Aura Trio is here with Zygarde, 50%.

Like other Legendaries, Zygarde comes with a complete unique set of accessories that complement her design. However, because of some limitations, including node attachments, skirt issues, and the lack of a back sprite, I decided to slightly alter her lower appearance, which is to say, she has a shorte...

PSA: Update your mods, Chikarin!

This is just a quick notice for anyone who hasn't updated their mods lately for their BetterRepack version of Koikatsu. If you haven't updated in the past month or so, there should be about 1gb+ of new mods for you to install from the Sideloader Modpack files, including new outfits, hair pieces, accessories, etc.

To ensure maximum compatibility, always try to keep mods as updated as possible so that new releases always work as intended. I don't want to increase wor...

Monkey See, Monkey Pour

Panpour and Simipour are here!

 The final pair of the elemental monkeys is finally done.

The only real distinction here is that I modified their tails to be static while replicating the tail end better, as well as giving Simipour her actual ears from the original. The last two sets didn't receive this, but I may update them quickly to add them before public release since i...

 The next set of faux starter monkeys is here!

I took some liberties with the hair since it's 2025 and there's still no curls or swirls or dingly-whirls in the mods YET, which you wouldn't think is absolutely necessary but it really is for like, at least a couple of sets.

Either way, the only thing not included are the plates with food,...

Monkey See, Monkey Sage (Part 1)

Pansage and Simisage are here!

 I'll be honest, I really don't like these Pokemon. I think they're cheap starter knock offs, meant only as tutorial fights, and really, nothing more. Just low effort designs from GF. That said, I've always been curious what a Moemon set would look like, and after literally YEARS waiting, we finally have something.

But I honestly don...

Man's Best Friend

Lillipup, Herdier and Stoutland are here!

 

Move aside, kitties!

We continue our Gen 5 trek with another non-starter 3-set family, the puppy dog set of this generation. The set is a bit unusual with it's accessory set up, but hopefully you see the vision, as I tried to match it up with the sprites, which, of course, takes it's own artistic interpretation away from the dogs.

Purrloin and Liepard are here!

 

Another small-ish release before the next, and last, Gen 5 starter family and accompanying trainer, then we move on to Gym Leaders - and others. This set, of course, has an accompanying partner coming later.

The main differences with these two are a slight deviation from their ears from how the sprites show them. I chose to go with a coloration clos...

The Liberator!

Trainer Rosa is here!

 

Much like the previous release with White, White 2 (or Rosa) uses Evaan's mods for her outfit, which should have long been installed with use of Koikatsu's Better Repack version, as well as keeping your modlist relatively updated.

However, his mods are outdated, and frankly, slightly low quality - so like with White, I retextured the mods, separated them, scal...

Ugh, I've been sick the past two days and I don't think I'll be getting better for a few more days, but fortunately I was able to work on this release slowly and get it done before too late.

This is a more modest rework as most of it was simply cleaning up the accessories and outfits, although there are some differences. Snivy in p...

Patrat and Watchog are here!

 

It's been awhile since we did a rodent set for any generation, and while these two aren't your typical favored pair, I think they actually came out quite nice.

In lieu of a pair of binoculars, I've adjusted their actual eyes and makeup more along the lines of the actual design, and mostly because I wasn't about to actually make a set of binoculars for...

Trainer White has been reworked!

 

This has been a long time coming.

Hilda (White) is my personal favorite trainer in the entire series and wanted to do her justice. Even though the original release was really good, for the time, there was always a bit more that could be done on a technical level. So, this is the result.

White's clothing uses Evaan's mods, as b...

Tepig, Pignite and Emboar have been reworked!

Although the sprites aren't new, and therefore the overall design isn't new, this wasn't a simple update, and because of that it took a lot longer than it should have. While Pignite and Emboar have (mostly) the same outfit, Tepig has an entirely new fit that more appropriately matches her sprite.

They all received massive updates to their m...

Update #64 - Unova League

It's time to talk about the first major route for this year, which is the Unova League! But before we do, let's talk about the past week or so.

For one, this past week I've been struggling to find the next set of releases (which we'll talk about in a second), while also simultaneously struggling with Pike Queen Lucy's design. As a result, it's been a slow week. Mainly, I've been split between a crossroads - with the recent releases of both the Gen 6 starters and Legendaries (and a few r...
