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.

Then you see why the DS couldn't handle anymore memory, because of all the graphic improvements they done.

This... Is battlefield perfection. Seriously, it looks amazing, and it works so well with the sprites. The only thing is, I think the image is a little small when compared to a DS screen, but I'm probably just imagining that.
On a side note, the Pokemon choices make this look very prehistoric in nature. I like that feel.

I don't know anything about the screen haha. Thank you so much.
I agree with the prehistoric feel, it's kinda what I was aiming for but you were the first to notice!

Like I said, it's probably just my imagination, or it could be proportionally smaller. Any which way, it works perfectly. Not a problem, I have an eye for detail, and I love how well your background matches the style of the Pokemon. They really complement each other.
Seriously? I'm the first to notice that? Well, I guess I really do have an artist's eye. (Pity I don't have the hand's to go with it.

Hey they r still trying besides what would happen if they go to a part of mountain area that does look like the background?

This is how B/W should have been. Backgrounds like this would have added so much to the game. Battles just seem so myopic and not even like you're fighting on the same planet when it's just the simple ones that Nintendo does -.-

I knowwww. I just can't believe how big a difference it makes and how stupid they are not to do it.

I guess it's become part of the standard of Pokemon that they battle on coloured disks but I thought they would have progressed more in 3 generations.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
3? or 5 generations haha.
Yeah it's standard to walk around a map...that doesnt mean the graphics for the map can't improve. Weird right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't include the first two generations because they were too simplistic. And the map wasn't as big a difference as adding actual backgrounds to the battles.

It is a shame Nintendo/Gamefreak decided no to do something in this vein. I prefer it to the zooming in and out on old style backgrounds; There's enough distortion of the sprites as it is with the idle animations. It would have been a great chance to at least try out: I mean, one of Black and White's selling points was of all the 'innovation' wasn't it?
Oh well, baby steps. You did a wonderful job rendering those rocks, and I like how the palette is colorful without overpowering the Pokémon sprites.

I like the idea, but i do like the way the screen moves, cept in black and white some times it veers off to far. but something like this but with camera movement would be awesome.

Amazing idea with complete backgrounds~!
Like them very muchm perhaps I'll made own bg's like that one, if you don't mind it.

Oh my god
I mean I hate black and white haters you just hate for no reason, but this would be AMAZING.
Faved.

Nintendo did fail by not doing this in their games, it would have improved the battles so much more in my opinion.

this would boot their sales by millions! i know I would buy their game if it was like this!

Maybe in Grey... sigh. They even blurred the original city battle background. O_o wtf (Look at the beta fight Zorua vs. Zoroark and the finished version in the game.)

But at least they got better by having real animation for sprites and u see ur own pkmn fully so its slightly better. But hey by the time they revamp Ruby and Sapphire then it might actually be 3D even so like u made but in full 3D

Well, when I heard that BW battles won't be in 3D I expected them to look like that. Buuuut of course we got what we got.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Agreed~ If they had this in a game I'd buy it before it got onto the shelves! x:

Hot damn man! Good job. It's a shame, but with the complete animation of the Pokemon, I think I'll let it slide till Gen VI.

LOVE IT
Maybe, if the grass were to move (as if they are being blown by the wind), it would look even better

Wow this is really amazing. Who knows, this may be done for Generation VI.

Who knows, maybe they'll use REAL backgrounds on a Pokemon game for the 3DS? That would be AMAZING!

Maaan this looks great! I wish this was real :C

Well, look at it this way: if the battle backgrounds were fully drawn, they wouldn't be able to do the cool zooming effect!
Your pic is lovely though. I'd like to see it put to use in a fangame or similar!

It's such a shame Nintendo wont use proper battle backgrounds. I agree.

Ah no sabia que estabas en dA. (Eres español no? perdon si no eres!) Me agrada mucho que pudiste ver lo que hice con tu trabajo y quiero darte mis gracias por todo tu trabajo haciendo las rips. Tiene que haberte tardado mucho tiempo y no puede ser facil. Lo aprecio mucho, gracias!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pues sí, llevo algún tiempo por aquí lo que pasa es que tuve que quitar mis sprites por problemas con el reglamento de DA, otra cosa tú también eres español 0.0, porque no lo sabía, nunca te había visto hablando español XD.
En cuanto al proyecto, pues sí es un poco duro sobre todo por la gran cantidad de sprites, menos mal que TSR se ha formado un buen grupo y varios chicos me están ayudando, porque sino sería un poco difícil.
Bueno y gracias a tí por tus maravillosos gráficos, hacen que esos sprites luzcan todavía mejor.
¡Ánimo amigo!

I'd love that. Also, if it's a tackle, the proper animation for each and every pokémon's tackling should be there, and same goes for every single attack in the game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well even if they just made the pokemon jump out and actually make contact with the other one, that would make me happy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The real games are pitiful during battle; it's like the anime, where every single battle is nothing but speed lines!
This looks wonderful as ever. You're detail in just those few shades is remarkable.
It'd be cool if they did this for every route too.

Pienso que el mapeado te ha quedado muy colorido y los sprites en movimiento quedan realmente bien, gran trabajo Kyle ^^
