Any ideas on the fastest method to get this? My plan so far has been using the 1 star restaurant and spamming A, you get just over 1 battle a minute doing this but that’s still hours of grinding

Thank you!!

I tried keeping my colours to a minimum, and ended up with 19, ignoring the two standard colours that's only 1 colour for every two Pokémon, so I think I did pretty well!

As a bonus, here's some alternate colour schemes!

What a kind thing to say thank you so much!

Some of the prompts I did not follow very closely, I wanted to find a version of this challenge that would inspire me, and that meant colouring outside of the lines a bit, but I'm happy with what I made!

Katelyn Pending @katebud183.bsky.social · 19d

I added more colours than the challenge prompt allows, in order to fit the stylings of the Gen 1 Pokémon games, here's a version that fulfils the 1 bit brief

Some of the Pokémon designs have changed since I've been working on Gen 2, can you recognise any of them?

My Greatest Treasures - Part II
Just over halfway there!! Some trickier ones in this batch, Brambleghast is so tough to make readable but I think you'll be able to at least tell what Pokémon it is, hoping to have this finished before halloween!

My Greatest Treasures
I'm trying to draw my whole Paldea team using the Septembit 2024 restrictions, I ended up having over 30 Pokémon on my team, so I have a long way to go, but here's the first 6!

Barbaracle mention! They’re one of the last Kalos Pokémon that I haven’t used in my play through yet so I’ve been planning to have them and Slurpuff on my team since the games announcement, the player has had a Binacle in a couple trailers so I’m hoping I can get them early

To try and be ready for this year's Septembit, I rushed to finish last years!
Rather than monsters I used each prompt to make a game concept, and depicted a character from that game!

I did not come up with this colour pallet, credit to @ YoshiMakes on Twitter

(3/3) Thank you again to everyone who liked this project, once I have a more substantial backlog of GS sprites I'll be ready to uploading here again!
(While journeying through the Kanto region, Ash and pals ran into an unfamiliar Poké-face, here's a sneak peak of them!)

(2/3) while uploading the Yellow sprites here, but I haven't gotten many of those finished, I'm also thinking of changing quite of lot of these designs further, as I think I want them to stand as more original Pokémon designs, where a lot of them currently heavily resemble existing Pokémon

(1/3) As for the future of this project, I have started some gen 2 sprites, my idea being to create all these guys and the next 50 creatures in Gold and Silver, before having a chance to rework them for a Crystal series, but that will be a ways away, I was hoping to work on more of those sprites

Katelyn Pending @katebud183.bsky.social · Jul 8

After encouragement from my friends I decided to post these sprites online daily, and I'm thankful for the people who came by every day to like my silly designs! As a thank you, here's all my designs as shinies, using the spaceworld demo shiny colours!

This is the finale of my art project! I started this a couple years ago, with the goal to practice pixel art more, but after completing the first round of sprites I was interested in trying again with the Yellow sprites, commiting to no edits only originals, and made something I'm very proud of

This mythical creature was the first to ever travel onto land, because of this, it gained special powers
Don't expect to encounter it too easily, this Pokémon is especially rare!

#075 Mewchu
Maliciously modified
Scientists took Clefchu, who liked to dress up as an ancient species, and tried to modify their genetics to become that species
They dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon... and they succeeded

#074 Tangfable
Growth spurt
Being exposed to the power of the moon has made our loveable mascot grow, outgrowing their old costume. It wears plants and vines to cover its body out of shame
This is just one evolution for Clefchu, the other you'll see very soon...

#073 Clefchu
The mischievous mascot!
This playful sprite wears the costume resembling a long forgotten creature. Despite wanting people to mistake it for this creature, it refuses to make its costume not pink.
