Maybe examples of what each layer is doing with pictures tends to help. It got confusing when it was saying to duplicate layer # then move layer #. So personally it was just a confusion with having too many numbers or words so close to each other. Link is here: [link]

As for my poke-pixel, it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. But I think my layers aren't quite right so I should have fiddled some more. Thank you for this tutorial even if its a touch confusing. For a first tutorial it was done well!

Yes, I'm sorry about that.
I was writing this on our family computer instead of my laptop, so it was sort of hard for me to get used to.
I'm not happy with this tut at all, now that I really look at it, and I plan on remaking it with images. One of the problems I've always had is that something will make a ton of sense in my head, but then look like a bunch of random crap thrown together when it's actually written down. I'm more of a hands on kind of person.

If you would be willing to send me the file, I could look through and see which layers are mismatched. It looks *exactly* like mine did the first time I tried to make a pokemon pop out. It's actually very easy to correct.

Sorry again that I couldn't explain better. I'll let you know once I revamp this. It'll probably be done by next Monday or Tuesday.

I know the feeling of it being great in your head but crap written down. How can I send the file? I'm not really sure how I would do that. I did do my pokemation (pokemon animation) quite "quickly" so I probably just made the layers not sit where they should. Can always fiddle again

Oops! I just looked at it again. I can download it straight from the page you already have up.
I'll work on it now.
