Custom Sprite Support

[Ipyronic]

I think it would be cool if PRO added support for users to change what their sprites look like when they play the game. I personally would like this feature because it would enable me to change all of my regular Pokemon sprites into their Moemon versions. In addition to changing what pokemon look like, support could also be added to change scenery sprites, character sprites, or even change the PRO UI to a custom theme (unless UI themes are planned to be pre-made Member-only content).

 

The way I would implement this support would be by having a new CustomSprites folder in the game directory. Inside of this folder, users would be able to drag in their images that they want to change, and then the PRO client will look in that folder for sprite replacements when it needs to grab an image for something. If no custom image exists at the path for what it wants, the default sprite can then be grabbed from the vanilla game resources. If the user has not added any of their own sprites, the CustomSprites folder would just be empty (not filled with the vanilla sprites). A little documentation would be necessary in order for people to know what their image path names need to be in order for the PRO client to find them correctly.

No. This reduces game security.
