Description
This was one sprite out of a handful that I'm currently busy working on. It's made for a certain project that requires a Gen V pokemon having a full line of sprites set in the style of all the games up to their debut in Black and White.

This was for the Ruby and Sapphire (and, for this task, FireRed and LeafGreen as well) portion of Meloetta's set. Ruby and Sapphire marked the first time the pokemon would move into the 16-bit style of sprites after previous games remained in 8-bit up to that point. Similar to Gold, Silver and Crystal, the pokemon took advantage of having more than one color (now there's up to three, four if you include black and white, which is usually bunched together), but unlike GSC, each color can now have four shades per color (with a fifth being black). The sprites from Ruby and Sapphire are the same as they would be with FireRed and LeafGreen, with the exception of kanto pokemon (and a few exceptions like Teddiursa) who gained redesigned sprites in FRLG and some new coloring compared to their first entries in RS.

Once again, the shiny form for Meloetta was merciful in that I could get away with flipping the palettes between her blue and green portion. I still tweaked it a bit more all the same (and unlike the past, I could actually make such changes, like with her body), but at least it made it easier in making the palette since it's already mostly made for me just to make the original .
