Ellie, except for Gracidea Flower I don't use anything as an item, because I think they doesn't fit, too xD"
I can imagine what work it would be to paint every item and make it to look good with an adopt (and I understand the point you're talking about), but it would still look better than sprites, which doesn't nearly fit in my opinion.

But what counts for me doesn't have to count for others^^

well if you don't like how they look you also don't have to use them. we just saw that people already like to decorate with the existing sprites so we thought it might be kinda cool to add more that are purely for decoration. that's not saying we CAN'T add more things to decorate in the future that might be more VA-style, but that takes a lot more work and will be a much bigger project than simply ripping and editing a few sprites and adding them to the existing ones.

and what, if there are more artists for that?
I mean, you do search for guest artists, why don't add some kind of "item artists" then. I bet there are a bunch of users there, with art-skills, who can easily work for that? I think, that's the best way to establish this kind of idea ^^

I think that this amulet coin may look better, it's also official art;

if we decided to do it, yes, we could add another guest artist to work on a few of those. but that would be something we could look at in the future after we see how the sprites go over. if we commissioned someone to draw like 50 items and no one used them it would be kind of a waste of that person's time. plus, we have other projects that i am going to have the guest artists work on first ;)

EDIT: the dream world items look nice at that size, but it is difficult to size them to properly fit in the tiny space we have and still make them look good, which again, goes back to what i said about having someone draw them as opposed to sprites. with a transparent background it is not easy to make non-sprite art look good and not cramped/awkward in such a small space.

Uh...I don't like that ribbon..but the coin amulett looks nice.

Well, I never was a fan of 'dress up games'.
Customize VAs more is...well...it makes them more unique and some users like that.

Not me...I don't like that...and not only on this page dress up stuff is considered to be added...makes it much more a game for very young children.
Well, Pokémon is for children...normally.

Same here. I don't like the ribbon and the amult enough to use it myself, but I don't see any problem in adding them if others would use it.

Just an idea: Maybe the problem with those icons is that the ribbon and the amulet are too ... specific? Maybe something more simple like a golden star would fit better?

we have more that we are planning to add, those are just a couple of examples yankees picked to show them off i guess. hopefully when we add everything we are planning there will be something for everyone.

and i dont really think it makes it more of a game for young children. it's not really the same as dress up, you get to add one extra item to your VA if you choose to do so. you don't have to do it, and i bet a lot of people won't, but it's just an extra option for people who would like to do it.

Do it. You must. I beseech you. I've been waiting for more customizable items like Leftovers and Mystic Water to be added.

Hello
The idea with the items I find great

I think it's good if you can use the items also wearing a pokemon even if the everstone.
Can be do that?

Usagy35, I'm not sure how well that would go, as it would be hard to police it and make sure nothing indecent was drawn. As lovely as the idea is, people could misuse it and I'm sure the admins don't have the time to pick through every drawing to make sure they're all acceptable.

I like the idea. Especially if it means I could add an amulet coin to my Persian~ I can't see myself using it all that much, just on special/favourite pokemon that fit the item, but others would enjoy the option. I'm definately all for, especially if you can add it to a pokemon already holding an item *cough*Everstones*cough*.

I like the idea of decorative items :)

My thoughts about it is that the decorative items could behave like an everstone themself, so that there is no need to attach an everstone, too.
The decorative items might be more expensive than everstones, so it might be ok.

I also like the idea of a special effect, like the already said example of getting a little bit more money by clicking on an adoptable with a coin attached...

So sad, that summer is over. Thanks for the great promos and events. It was fun. :D
The only thing I was really missing, was new ice cream scoops and cones. But maybe next year...? ;)

Now the autumn and the dark side of the year is coming...no wonder, that Lugia and Ho-oh turned black XD
