Alola Tandor

[HuckebeinTheRaven]

Ok, so after clearing things up with CodySP, this project is now more or less underway

"Alola Tandor" is the unofficial name I've given to a personal project to convert sprites of some of the new Gen 7 pokemon from Sun and Moon and make them "playable" in Uranium by making the sprites overwrite pokemon with similar types/evolution lines. Upon completion, I will post the pack of converted sprites as a for-fun addon to Uranium for use by those who would desire to encounter Gen 7s in Uranium

List of planned conversions (and states of completion)
(Sprite credits go to Leparagon (deviantart), little of this is my original work)


Rowlet/Dartrix/Decidueye (Chicoatl/Quetzoral/Coatlith): Primary sprites completed, box sprites WIP

(More screenshots soon to come)

Popplio/Brionne/Primarina (Selkid/Syrentide/Mega Syrentide): Sprites being prepped for conversion, very WIP

Drampa (Barand): Sprites available, no work yet done

Wishiwashi (regular and school forms) (Magikarp/Gyarados (Mega Gyarados will be replaced as well, for reasons of consistency): 

Whimpod/Golisopod (Sponee/Sponaree):

Salandit/Salazzle (Chimical/Chimiconda): Sprites for "Salandit" and male "Salandit 2.0s" finished, Salazzle and box sprites still WIP


Alolan Rattata/Raticate (Tancoon/Tanscure):

Litten/Torracat/Incineroar (Devimp/Fellengel/Belladion): (This will likely be close to last, due to Belladion being a pain in the arse to level to evolution at the level of the game I'm at)


I will post progress and screenshots as goals are achieved. 

If you have any suggestions or requests, please let me know in the comments, I'm always open to ideas!

Oh, you really accepted my suggestion for Drampa! Thank you, appreciating it ^-^

This is so cool! Since we talking about Alola-Tandor ideas, i have some i have thinking:

Tricwe and Haryclect to Charjabug and Vikavolt.

Lavent to Turtonator.

Tikiki and Fritiki to Steenee and Tsareena.

Pupluff and Alpico to Alola Vulpix and Alola Ninetails.

And great work man! This pacth will be awasome.

[HuckebeinTheRaven]

Thanks!

I'll certainly give those suggestions some thought, although if I implement Vikavolt, I'll probably use Grubbin to replace Tricwe, partially because typings will line up a bit better there. As for Turtonator, I thought about it, but decided against it mainly based on Lavent's usual in-game location, since finding a Turtonator on the seafloor wouldn't make much sense. Pufluff/Alpico would be a neat idea too, but then I'd probably have to replace Anderind as well, since a Vulpix evolving into a bipedal ice bear/snowboarder wouldn't make a ton of sense

Final disclaimer: The vast majority of the actual spritework I'm doing here is not directly mine. Sure, I'm resizing and (occasionally) recoloring, but most of the original work is not my own. I will be doing my best to credit original creators when I post screenshots and updates, but if you see a sprite I couldn't find the original author for and recognize it, please let me know!

LOL, I thought about that myself when I saw the suggestion.  BUT if there are any other lines that you could put Alola Vulpix and Ninetales into, I would so love to see that -- I fell in love with those beautiful icy foxes the moment I first saw them announced!

Would Fafurr/Fafninter work?

[HuckebeinTheRaven]

They might, but the dragon typing would run counter to the type they have in Sun and Moon, so the Pufluff line really is the best choice overall, should I choose to take it on (which I probably will, since I have the social life of a dead animal).

But thanks all for the suggestions, based on how the rest go, I may end up adding them to my to-do list!

Thanks for the interest!

This is a really cool idea. I've been racking my brain for days and come up with virtually nothing good lol... So here are some of the less terrible ones I got:

- pikipek line as birbie
- rockuff/lycanroc as minicorn & its evos (i know the type doesn't fit, but I can't think of anythng else which evolves into 2 things and I love lycanroc ?. Could of course do lunapup and herolune, but then one of the lycanroc would be left out)

- cutiefly as cubbug
- mudbray/mudsdale as modrille/drilgann
- dewpider/araquanid as sponee/sponaree (golisopod is more iconic tho)
- fletchling line as pahar line
- stufful/bewear as jackdeary/winotinger
- to solve your vulpix/ninetails problem you could possibly set anderind to be sandslash

I really wanted to think of something for Oricorio because it's my favourite of the new pokemon, but the best I got was masking/dramsama as the psychic and ghost ones, but I wouldn't go for that because masking and dramsama are my favourite tandor pokemon lmao

While you plans seem a bit ambitious and dubious to me, if you are up to coordinating the task, go for it. Might get more people to replay the game if their is more modded content to be had. Good luck~!

[HuckebeinTheRaven]

That it most certainly is, but all it will take is time, as most of the sprites already exist, albeit in a form that would need slight alteration. I mean, for all practical purposes I got the entire Rowlet line converted and (sort of) tested in the span of about 3-4 hours, so tedium is probably going to be my biggest oppponent.

As for Delta's suggestions:
Rockruff/Lycanroc I'll look into them, but I'd probably have to make all the sprites for that one myself, so that would likely take a little while, and would be lower on the priority list. As for the Birbie line, that's actually a pretty good idea, and the evo times line up almost well enough to be quite convincing indeed (the only real difference is that Splendidfowl is a special attacker, and Toucannon is a physical attacker) Fletching line over Pahar could work too, but again, I'll probably wait on those until I've gotten more of the others done.

As always, suggestions and ideas are more than welcome, and I appreciate the interest that this has generated.

As a notice, it may not be until the end of this week/beginning of next that I really begin to get work done here, since I have college semester finals this week until Thursday, but after that point I'll hopefully have some time over Christmas to get some progress down.

All this will be a nice Christmas gift for the forums, if the dev are busy celebrating the holidays with their familys (tis the season, after all). Don't give, now, but stay determined!
