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.

HGSS was remakes, where they gave the games a lot more details than in DPPt.
And... what do you mean? I said they COULDN'T do a battlescreen for every place you where... of cause they could, but wouldn't that be too much work? ;b

you said they wouldnt do it because they dont want the area to not fit where you are. That's not true cos in HG you're in a pagoda and the background is of a rocky cave...

I think you have misunderstood what I meant... nevermind then XD

Well you said - they dont want it to be like you're on some iceberg and the battle background is sea - not matching.
They already do this with the pagoda in HG being a rocky cave background?

I said that it would be weird if the background was like a sea without ice, even if there was in that place. In the way you want the backgrounds to look like, it would be too much work if they had to make for every place you was in! That was what I meant. Or we could say that you had a Wild battle in some high crass at a rocky place, but the battle background would just be a normal grass place. My point is then, if they had to make a realistic background as yours, then they had to make MANY to reflect the place its battled in XD
But like I said, nevermind, cause its hard to explain XD

Ah right I see. Yeah that's true. I dont think the player minds too much though. They already do stuff like repeat what people look like regardless of their battle sprite, etc.

Yeah I know... XD
"Oh! Hey look! Its a blond overworld spirte!"
"Ehh... why is the trainer sprite brownhaired??"

Dude, did i ever tell you that i love you? I think i should have, and im a fool if i haven't...
THIS IS FRIKIN' AMAZING!Even without swaying grass and falling leaves the decor and the atmosphere in this is stunning.
I absolutelylove this. Could you make more backgrounds? I think you'd be able to make even more amazing ones. I have a lot of ideas of what you could do based on your and 's galleries. You both have lots of cool pixel arts of places that should be more developed and refined you know?

Haha thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I'm planning on making backgrounds for most settings (desert, cave, etc) I love doing stuff like this.

Np
Yeah that's what i was thinking too, you made a bunch of ecosystem maps like these ones: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] .I really want to see stuff like this be made into this masterpiece you made,

Wow I agree, this'd have been beautiful, just imagine the sea or caves or anything for that matter!
π: 0 β©: 1
I know! there are so many beautiful settings that could be created.

D:
It's beautiful
Someday, I pray, this will be a reality.

I reckon we will see that kind of stuff eventually... itll be a while before we have proper 3D pokemon games, imagine the memory eneeded for 563 models and textures... and it will be even more than that with subsequent generations.
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope so. It doesnt look hopeful though with gamefreak hiring loads of 3D designers and the 3DS coming out. They'll probably keep the pokemon 2D but make absolutely everything else they can 3D!
π: 0 β©: 0
True, but maybe they were worried it would look too crowded? What with the info tabs and everything? I dunno, I would prefer it like this
π: 0 β©: 1
You could always re-structure everything around it. I don't see why they dont have info tabs on the bottom screen to be honest.

Maybe that'll be the quirk we get out of Gen VI if it gets that far. XD

As long as each Pokemon game outsells the last, they'll make another. 8)
π: 0 β©: 0
as long as it doesnt become COMPLETELY 3D you mean?
π: 0 β©: 2
Err, the completely 3D games have fine backgrounds. The trouble lies when it stays somewhere in the middle.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ugh, yes. I dunno how I'd feel about that. x_X

WHY CAN'T YOU WORK FOR POKEMON.

I KNOW, WHY CANT I?

You should tell them.
Because that is REALLY good.
It's amazing!

BECAUSE YOU'RE A FISH! 8D

These games will never beat the original ones though.
I can't do else than agree with lydario, the pixelart is gone. It's getting too much animated. Sure, the graphics are amazing, but the games slowly loose their 'Pokemon'-feel.
Your background is amazing though

"These games will never beat the original ones though."
Is it possible you're only saying that because you were exposed to them as a child?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, because it was original back then. And just some examples. Generation 1 had random Pokemon with vague backgrounds; Electabuzz for example. While generation 5 focusses too much on making animals into Pokemon. Also they get more and more cartoony, while I prefer the anime style way over cartoon. The number of attacks available these days and the number of attacks a single Pokemon can learn make them almost all the same; the only thing that matters are stats, since more Pokemon can learn the same movepool. They should've kept the moves more signature, at least to a few stages. And I can go on like this for a while.

I completely agree. you're preaching to the choir there, I am so dissapointed at the lack of pixelart in the new games. It seems to be so 3D focused...A lot of BW seems to be trying to get back at pokemon's roots, but it seems like they completely forgot that pokemon started as purely pixel games.

Good Work Kiledove..Por alli me eh enterado de que hablas espaΓ±ol!
π: 0 β©: 0
I so agree with you!
I love that the sprites are animated, but why did Nintendo have to go make such FUGLY backgrounds/Fight-bases?
Nintendo has WAY too little Pixel art in the Pokemon games nowadays.
Anyway, I LOVE your background!
High level of detail, but still very plain and easy on the eye!
π: 0 β©: 1
I know...It's a shame that they've stopped using as much pixel art on the games.
Thank you very much, I struggled a bit with trying to find a balance between the level of detail without it being really crowded.

I think what they have, gets the job done... but is a rotating background even necessary? Perhaps it makes sense for rotation battles, which could very well be part of the decision... it's still a little disappointing that so little pixel art is really in the game anymore... even the animations are like... all effect.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know I agree, the animations bother me a little but I'd rather have it like this than none at all.
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here... I mean they can do some things with this "modular" feature that normal spriting... wouldn't look good doing.

You have created some very nice depth in this background Kyle, your right this would have been seriously epic in black and white, maybe in the third game, who knows.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks man, I'm really pleased with how it turned out like you said. Let's hope they do improve!
π: 0 β©: 1
Im sure that they will. You seem to have improved by the way Kyle.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, I'm glad to hear it.

Just wondering is this perhaps signs of a bit of a comeback???
π: 0 β©: 0
Double post to say that you did well, like always, kinda forgot to mention that in me being dumbfounded over why Nintendo doesn't do this for pokΓ©mon games, it just looks much much better.
π: 0 β©: 2
Yea, if anything, it would be easier than having the floor rotate. Although it does kinda look funny having the pokemon move, but none of the background moving... but that again should be just as easy to manage.
π: 0 β©: 2
Even unanimated, I think that having some sort of logical background to go with the pokΓ©mon looks way better than what they have now, mixing the very pixelated sprites with those weird semi-3D backgrounds is just weird as hell imo.
π: 0 β©: 1
It doesn't do it justice really. It's like animation for the sake of.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, I only added the animated pokemon on as a kind of test, If I was gonna do it properly I'd have small effects like the grass moving in the wind, leaves falling, clouds drifting etc.
The floor doesnt even rotate really..just the background sort of swishes around...its completely pointless.
