About a week after I began using the Pokeradar to hunt for shinies, it occurred to me that regular Pokemon sprites weren't going to cut it if I wanted to represent all my shinies on a normal-sized banner. :p So the idea of using icons came to me. The problem was that in the D/P games and every other game before it, shininess wasn't represented on the icon. In the games, when you select a Pokemon in the PC or your party, you won't know it's shiny until you look at its corresponding normal-sized sprite.

So I thought, "why not just recolor the icons shiny?" And that's what I did. Afterwards, it occurred to me that it would be useful if ALL of them were recolored that way. That sparked the most horrendously huge project I've ever set out to undertake. 9_9 I'm really no farther along than I was when I first made my banner, but I at least have a template to go on. If any of you would like to help me out by recoloring, I'd really appreciate it. :p Pick your favorites and give it a go. If you'd like for me to begin with certain pokemon as I recolor the others, feel free to suggest them. Don't expect miracles though. I do this stuff in my free time at work, lol.

So without any further ado, here's the current version of the icondex. It's pretty huge. I had considered using the img tags, but that wouldn't be nice, since it'd make this thread take forever to load. xD

Just an FYI, there is an official Shining Bulbasaur icon. It's somewhere in the games code, I've seen it (in game) before. (RS only)

As for recolors, I'll do some later.
 
Neat. :p I'd never heard of them making a shiny icon before.

Anyway, I've updated it with the first 70. I'll do more later, but right now I need to get some work done. xD

Now, for anyone who'd like to do recolors, I need you to tell me ahead of time which one(s) you're doing so that I don't inadvertantly do yours and skip over you. :p Also, I reserve the right to either decline or modify whatever you submit to me. :) I'm not a tough judge, but I do have standards.

Looks pretty good! You know, I would have made shiny pokemon icons but I didn't have the time. So, I used the regular icons. Speaing of which...where are the icons I made for Arcy to used as smilies here?!

At any rate, kudos, Shuko!

They're still here. :p If you click on the "more" link under smilies in the advanced editor, you can find the icons you made. :p

I've updated it for the first gen pokemon, and the unown. :) Same link.
 
Okay. I see them. I did most of the gen 4 pokemon except for a few. Never got around to it and some were just plain complicated. Anyway, nice work, Shuko! You got great skillz!
