add showdown type sprites

[FallenDeity]

Contains almost all showdown/3d model sprites that I could find with exceptions of not yet released gen 9 mons and a few pokemon backwards sprites

• pikcachu libre back sprite normal and shiny
• venusaur gmax
• blastoise gmax
• urshifu gmax both forms
• gen 8 starter gmax forms
  iirc those should be about it.
  Another query i have would be about the different form variations of pokemons like unown, arceus, alcremie, silvally etc are those to be added or is there a slot for them.

Hi, the diff is too large and github cannot render it. Can you embed some images here so we see what they look like?

[Naramsim]

for unown, arceus, alcremie, silvally, you can check out if there's multiple pokemon (id>10000) or if there's pokemon-forms for them.

[FallenDeity]

images are xy style 3d models used in showdown refrences can be found here
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/
ani and ani-back shiny etc
@Naramsim
also the form do exist in pokeapi Pokemon endpoint under forms category should I add them like id-form.gif in the folders also all the sprites are in a showdown folder with same file structure as the gen 5 type default sprites

[Naramsim]

Ok, perfect, are those XY format or ultra sun ultra moon? I see that the two kinds are pretty similar, if not the same.

Depending on which one we think they belong to, we can put them in the appropriate-folder/animated. PS: all of those images come from ROMs? Or some of them have been created by the Smogon community?

[FallenDeity]

smogon pkpariso basically sources are same a Pokemonshowdown credit list

[FallenDeity]

also its 3ds style sprite that's why it's similar to xy and sm

@Naramsim any updates?

[Naramsim]

Hi @FallenDeity , yes, I can't review this PR as it is now, it's too big and even checking it out locally I'm having an hard time.

Can we create a smaller one, easier to review?

I'd start from the additions:

• pikcachu libre back sprite normal and shiny
• venusaur gmax
• blastoise gmax
• urshifu gmax both forms
• gen 8 starter gmax forms

Leaving out all showdown/3d?

the ones u mentioned like pikachu libre venusaur etc their 3ds sprites are unavailable if u want I can make updates one by one like front-default shiny and so on but it should still be easy to view changes right just clone it locally and browse with file browser if u wanna check images then just keep the thumbnail setting on. splitting this seems more work as of now.

I don't understand then, why in the first message you wrote those names?

i wrote those as a record so that the missing gifs can be added later when its available cause if only I have it in a excel file locally or something I might accidentally delete it also if the missing ones are compiled in one place properly its easier for others to contribute as well.

[Naramsim]

Ahhh, ok, it wasn't clear. Ok.

So the changes of this PR are just the addition of the images under /pokemon/showdown?

yes. Also presumably changes need to be made in the api as well to include another showdown field for pokemon endpoint

[FallenDeity]

any updates on this pr or should i add another commit including the forms of showdown pokemon like arceus silvally etc

[Naramsim]

Hey @FallenDeity sorry I haven't come back. Right now I don't really have time. I'm traveling and have no spare time for Github. I'll take a deeper look in the next weeks. Sorryyyy

[FallenDeity]

@Naramsim leave a ping or message when you do take a look though 🥺

[FallenDeity]

added forms of pokemons as well as mentioned above also it would be good to receive some updates about this pr cause i personally feel this would be a pretty cool addition to the api enabling many devs to make animated games and some cool stuff

[Naramsim]

I'll try to look at it on Tuesday maybe 😆

Thanks so much for it!

[Naramsim]

I merged! I moved everything to the other folder. TY

[FallenDeity]

aight cool 😎
