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.

I think they didn't use detailed backgrounds because of the c-gear and your ability to move around that battle.

I always start with Turtwig, cause Torterra has the narliest defense evar. Bastiodon has a great move pool, and I love how it can learn attacks like Flamethrower. Great advantage when someone pops out a grass or ice type.

I hit enter by accident. I love how they look like they are dancing. And Nintendo seriously needs to start making wilderness backgrounds, there is no reason why they can't.

They should just hire you. Seriously.

Haha gosh thank you so much. It's really nice to hear some info on the stats of the pokemon. It gives them personality.

You are very welcome

For a while, Golem was my favorite in Pearl, but, now it's Bastiodon, too. Steelix is starting to grow on me, as well. It's funny if you take Steelix to the move tutor, I recently learned that it can learn thunder fang, ice fang and fire fang. It gets no EV whatsoever, but a great advantage over weaker elements.

Here's hoping for Pokemon Gray or Generation VI.

Wow, that background looks so cool! I'm disappointed a bit with the BW backgrounds. That very first screenshot of Zorua VS Zoroark with the city in the background made me so excited, but they're disappointing since it's pretty much the same as the old games... Yours would look so amazing with Reshiram's CrossFire's dynamic camera movements! *drool*

J4CK50N In reply to Kyle-Dove [2010-12-25 02:41:58 +0000 UTC]

I agree with the latter part, but I don't really know if that's too big of a problem.. I'm sure there's some way to get in contact with them. Or at least Nintendo of America, and if they saw it and liked it, I'm sure they would relay it to Japan. I don't know.. it's very far-fetched, not because your work isn't awesome, but just because I'm sure Nintendo gets loads of people trying to contact them, but I still think it's worth a try! I would just gather a small portion of your best stuff and try to send it to them!

I'd run with this, but I'm already frustrated with the save times on these games nowadays. I can only imagine this would add to the hussle and bustle.

Ugh, this is sooo much better!

The background would be much easier to look at and it would make it seem all the more immersive...
And it drives me CRAZY how they make your Pokemon all pixelated because they are so close...this way is MUCH better.

Spoon-Fork In reply to ??? [2010-12-24 03:13:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm quite fond of this idea; it would give a more realistic feel to battles and looks a whole lot more interesting than a generic pixel-y background. Considering how well the eyecatches in HeatGold and SoulSilver turned out, it seems reasonable that they would be able to make something like this work. I'd love to see weather affect the scenery along with the time of day, or on occassion, a wild PokΓ©mon make a brief and subtle appearence in the background.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Kyle-Dove In reply to Spoon-Fork [2010-12-24 17:17:44 +0000 UTC]

That's an awesome idea. It would be awesome if a little pokemon poked its head out of the background every now and then. It could be used as a hint to some of the rarer pokemon you could find there!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Spoon-Fork In reply to Kyle-Dove [2010-12-27 21:13:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. It'd also be interesting if high damaging attacks, like Earthquake or Surf, would a have a chance to startle the hidden PokΓ©mon out of hiding.
