Description I just finished a new battle background for mountains.
I wanted to test it out so I did this.

Personally, I think this is awesome, it's such a shame Nintendo wont use proper battle backgrounds.

Hope you like! Turtwig and Bastiodon rule btw.

I did NOT make the pokemon sprites/animations. Nintendo did. Credits to Jefelin for the rips.

"How BW should have been"
Definitely, but Gamefreak has been way too scared of breaking the series' conventions for a long time. One of the things I'm most excited for in the new gen is that they finally seem to be getting rid of that stupid attitude.

Hey Kyle!

Do you by any chance still have Jefelin's animation sprites? He took them all off his DA and would love to use his sprites in the Pokemon game I am making. 

Thanks!

If only we could hack Pokemon B/W or D/P/Pt to have this as a regular background battle. If only.
It looks way more realistic than the official battle's layout even if there are still the circles that are well-implemented in this.

That would've been awesome. They did that in B2/W2 with the movie sets, but it would be nice if it had these backgrounds for every area.

At least X and Y seem to be doing that.

Hi dude
I really like your work, can I ask you if that's possible to take your battle backgrounds ? I'll give you credits of course ! That's not for a Hack, that's for a fangame. There's no demo here, but soon ! I can send you some screens if you wanna see it.
Good luck !

There's a red pixel on one of the cracks above Turtwig. It's blinking in and out.

nintendo is probably improving games little by little because if they improved it all at once then there will only be new pokemon without anew gaming experiance in future games, but still this background is pure perfection.

dude no kidding, if nintendo won't give us a more hands-on battle style, then the least they could do is improve on what they got. i found the battle backgrounds for bw disapointing, there's very little difference between generations 4 and 5

Hell yea! I would have been able to stand the nauseating graphics more if the battles were like this! (For some reason, when I played Pokemon Black, I got sick in a battle when it kept panning all over the place and whenever I entered a building and it zooms in. That's why I got rid of it!)

merlinnerd922 [2011-08-23 17:53:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I can't believe they didn't think of this!
Maybe make a few, so we don't end up having the same background for every mountain battle? Then it wouldn't look fishy having the same background?

Rilind101 [2011-08-23 09:26:23 +0000 UTC]

This is how it should be. I like how it still has that circle under them. To know where there "space" is xD
its really nice. TOO BAD NINTENDO STILL USES A CIRCLE! -_-

Hello. I have joined this site just to tell you how utterly amazing your artwork is and I wish you could be hired and put on as staff for Nintendo's Pokemon team. They definitely need to hire you at once. I have seen a lot of fan art in my days of being a pokemon lover and your art makes me want to jump for joy. Thank you for this.

Kyle-Dove In reply to Maximus5432 [2011-07-04 22:29:21 +0000 UTC]

I had to add some padding. Luckily they were close to the same length, so I just kinda did turtwig backwards a bit and forwards a bit until it looped.
