Missing Gen 9 Sprite Icons

[Lawand-11]

The icons from this repo all look great, and I was wondering if and when icons would be added for Gen 9 Pokemon. I am using them for an app I'm creating, and no other sprites I find come close in quality. I imagine these must take a lot of time to create, and I cannot really offer any help, so just a timeframe(if any) would be beneficial for me. Thank you.

Hi, which sprites are you referring to? To ones in the root?

If so Smogon allowed to host them. If they created the gen9 ones we could integrate them here.

Could it be that these are the sprites being referred to?

Although actually, the sprite icons from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are from Generation 8…

I would also like to use these in one of my own projects, and since I'm planning to include them anyway, I could work on that and create a PR if that would be helpful.

I'm just wondering: would you prefer the icons to remain at a fixed size (like the Scarlet & Violet link) or cropped to their content?

Hi, not quite those honestly. Those belong to the /sprites/pokemon/versions/generation-???/ folder.

For the root of the project we want the custom sprites that Smogon produces. Read more here: #187 (review)

We have an agreement with Smogon to use their sprites in our project.

And about the fixed size or cropping them. I'd stick with the standard used based on which folder they will be put in. If the folder has no spirtes in it (e.g. generation-xiii) we can add them without cropping.

Wow I just saw these replies now, apologies. I believe there was a folder titled icons, that did not have up to generation 9. I think they were more pixelated and retro style. I will check on my PC later to be more specific!
