Mega Charizard X - Icy Hot Patch!

Hey everyone! There's a ton of stuff I've been working on in the background, but I haven't found a good spot in the schedule to release them yet - more on that in another post. But because of that, I wound up sitting on a few goodies that I've been really wanting to share, sowhat better time than to start now?

Thus, here is a massively updated Mega Charizard X - as well as a Shiny version of her (our first official Shiny Mega!).

Legendary Titan - Regirock

Regirock is here!

#377 Regirock - https://files.catbox.moe/wdm4tz.png

(Note: Card is rather large at 3.5mb)

Enjoy!

Root and Claw!

The Fossilized Moemon, Lileep, Cradily, Anorith & Armaldo are here!

Lileep and Cradily were a bit difficult in capturing perfectly, so using some creative liberties, we ended up quite different, but still similar, in a sense. Visually you can see the differences, so I won't go through them all here - but great care was put into them to ensure identity was captured - Lileep's clothing over...

Sand Traps

Trapinch, Vibrava & Flygon are here!

Unfortunately, Trapinch's basket is only available in Studio, but otherwise everything else is feature complete. Vibrava's wings were a bit weird to make.. but the silhouette matches at least. Finally, Flygon is.. well, kind of perfect.

Anyways, here are the cards.

Diglett, Dig! Diglett, Dig! Trio-Trio-Trio!

https://youtu.be/cDaX8yZid-I

Diglett and Dugtrio have been updated!

This is a bit of a bonus release since I initially wasn't planning this for our Desert event, but it seemed fitting & Diglett/Dugtrio were way overdue for an update, being some of our earliest releases.

Oh, and I threw in a Male Digl...

Prickly Pair

Cacnea & Cacturne are here!

I won't be going into too much detail with new releases anymore, since it begins to sound repetitive - "I had fun making these!" or "These came out really good!", which, actually, is particularly true with Cacturne - I just got done beating the E4 in a run of Liquid Crystal with her on my team!

Heroine Idols

Baltoy & Claydoll are here!

God, these took FOREVER to make, especially since I had to redo Claydol halfway through, but they were still really fun to make. It should be noted that both of their headdresses can easily be turned off by ticking off the Sub accessories (especially handy for Claydol's 30+ Accessory headdress).

Also, I had a bit of fun with Claydol's Slo...

PSA: RX5 Update!

Hey, everyone!

Most of you have likely already done so, but if not, the RX5 Update is available for your BetterRepacks, and you can find that here. Of course, it's been out for two weeks already, but I'm usually slow to update, mainly to ensure max compatibility while the rest of you update at your earliest convenience!

But I updated last night since things started breaking...

Desert Demon!

Sandshrew & Sandslash have been updated, along with my (original) Mega Sandslash!

Here are the cards!

July-May Update

Hey everyone, I did a bit of an update for our favorite Gen 3 protagonist as well as create an alternate, more Mature version, for funsies.

What's changed?

• Adjusted Teen May's hair to be less "wide"
• Tweaked her face/body models
• Fixed accessory problems (removed leftover accessories in certain slots, like Swimsuit)
• Changed her clothes for most of her slots
• Altered Shadow rendering on clothes for a more cartoony look
• Updated Card ba...

Update #35 - Summer Vacation 2 - Sandy Boogaloo

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today we have a huge update to go over (mostly) everything coming out for the month of July - and boy do we have a ton of stuff to preview. This won't be a complete list as I've left some spots open for some of the previously mentioned WIP updates, but also for some other unannounced stuff. Either way, I'm personally excited to dive into some of these upcoming releases!

But before we do, I want to thank you all for your continued support. I hope to continue...

Rayquaza Descends!

Rayquaza has finally descended to quell the forces of Groudon & Kyogre!

Like the others, I don't necessarily consider this a final release. Sometimes you have to let a card breath for a bit until you take a second look at it, or after new mods release, or you develop new techniques. Regardless, I do like how she came out. Her tail was fun to make, though I wish it had more "control" or lu...

[Lavaridge Gym] "One with a fiery passion that burns!"

Gym Leader Flannery is here alongside Numel, Camerupt, and her iconic Torkoal!

Flannery is based on her official artwork, though some liberties were taken, particularly with her hair. The rest of her outfit is largely replicated as close as possible to her official art; her thick, almost rope-like belt is made with accessories, while her pant legs have red X stitches (made using an overlay), ...

WIP Updates - Coming Soon!

Hey everyone!

A lot has changed since we began this project about a year ago now. There's been tons of mod updates, new hair, clothing, accessories, and I've also improved on my own style and finally have settled into a groove that I like. There's always minor adjustments to be made, and I improve with each release, but there's lots of older cards that I am particularly fond of and want to update to the current standards. And when I say "lots" I basically mean all of them. So it'lll be ...

[Jagged Pass] Bouncy Piggos

Spoink & Grumpig are here!

This is everyone's favorite pair, right?

Yeah, okay, I know not TOO many people actually use these two in a regular play through, but I do highly recommend trying Spoink out next time you get a chance. Mega Moemon FireRed 1.19 just released the other day, and if you want to try Spoink out, she's located west of Viridian City (on the route that leads to the...

Team Magma Grunts!

Team Magma is here!

Our main Team Magma Grunt, Serafine, is based on the above depiction, though with some minor creative liberties taken with her hair a...

[Route 114] Territory Wars

Zangoose & Seviper are here!

I'm really excited how these two came out. With a project this large, gathering inspiration for any random set can be difficult, particularly if I don't connect with how a certain pixel artist interprets and draws up a Moemon. Sometimes it's obvious, but oftentimes it isn't, and when working with pixels, there's not a lot of room for creativity, especially whe...

[Route 114] Lovely Lilypad Ladies

Lotad, Lombre, & Ludicolo are here!

These three don't have the most extravagant outfits, but effort was put into replicating them using overlays, specifically Lombre's dress and jacket & Ludicolo's skirt. Unfortunately, Lotad's weird overall-skirt combo isn't possible, so we stuck with regular shorts.

The only real deviation is with Lombre, who has red lipstick & nails, like...

[Route 114] Whiskerfish

Barboach & Whiscash are here!

Barboach was surprisingly difficult since there's a significant lack of corsets in the game. I wanted to replicate that weird black mark she has, but even using overlays it didn't look right. Perhaps I should have used a tattoo, but.. ah, well. The rest came out just fine, though.

Mini Update #4 - WIP Gen 1 Legendary Reworks

Hey everyone! Barboach/Whiscash will be out early tomorrow (or late tonight if things go well) but I wanted to let you know I've begun work on a definitive Gen 1 Legendary pack on my spare time that I hope to get out by the end of this month. First, they've been kind of outdated regarding their style for some time now. Additionally, most of them have received sprite updates and they are beautiful! Let's take a peek below:

[Route 113] Ashland Moemon

Spinda is here, along with an update Slugma, Magcargo & Skarmory!

Spinda is our only new release today, technically, but she still comes with the quality standard you've come to expect from my cards lately. I must admit, I've never genuinely used Spinda in almost any playthrough -- and I usually only ever catch one for completion's sake, but that doesn't ...

[Rework] Grimey Gals

Grimer & Muk have been reworked!

Note: These two have animated textures for their hair (and some clothing). DualScroll filter is required for MatEdit; be sure your game is fully updated!

As mentioned, Grimer and Muk both have animated hair, replicating Grimer/Muk's actual design - a sludgey, slow rolling "goop", and it can only really be appreciated in Studio, since screenshots ob...

[Mauville Gym] Dahlia & the Sparky Doggos

Gym Leader Dahlia is here alongside Electrike & Manectric!

I'm way too sick to really go into details of these three, so have screenshots instead!

Card Pack Update!

Hey everyone!

First, on a slightly unrelated note, I will be going to get tested for COVID-19 since I've developed a pretty rough cough the past few days, and a slight fever, both of which kept me up all night, which doesn't help since I get very little sleep to begin with (and hurts development time!) but I'll update on that later.

Second, today's Electrike/Manectric + Gym Leader post is being pushed back until tomorrow; unfortunately there was some issues with both ...

Update #34 - June Previews

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Well, that's what I'd normally say, but between the pandemic and the riots, it's certainly getting tense.

But the show must go on!

I have to admit, however, I've been rather busy as of late, and found myself being a bit distracted with my city being burnt to the ground last night, so unfortunately today's original post has been delayed a bit...

Groudon Awakens!

Groudon, v1.0!

Like Kyogre, I consider this an early pass. I hope to tweak/update her in the future, but I'm quite satisfied with how she came out now. Unfortunately there is no back sprite done yet (which helps a ton when designing/translating to 3D), but it should be available soon.

I have some ideas for her Primal form, but nothing concrete yet. Also, the Red Orb she holds requires a n...

[Route 117] Water Rodents

Azurill, Marill, & Azumarill are finally here!

With Shiny versions!

Yeah, technically the Shiny forms of Azurill & Marill are green, but the Moemon team made them gold for consistency, I guess. Anyways, quick breakdown of each - go, go!

Originally I wasn't planning to do the "Baby...

[Route 117] Fireflies

https://youtu.be/psuRGfAaju4

Volbeat & Illumise are here!

These were lots of fun. Let's break down some features of each, shall we?

• Customized outfit using overlays/accessories to match their sprites.
• Wings made with basic shapes + MatEdit rendering for transparency. Illumise's wings have a sli...

Magneton Power Outage: An Unfortunate Setback!

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a nice Memorial Day weekend. I can say it hasn't been good over here!

Yesterday I was supposed to release Volbeat + Illumise, with another release coming tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday. Unfortunately, I was backed up on Friday with other priorities, and yesterday (on my day off), my neighborhood lost power the whole afternoon + evening, and didn't turn back on until after midnight last night!

Suffice it to say, but I've also been ...

"Yeah, we swallow!"

Gulpin & Swalot are here!

Two rather simplistic Moemon here for you tonight. While accessory usage is low (Swalot only uses 2!), there was some effort put in to their outfits. Gulpin's is the more accurate of the two, while Swalot enjoys a more creatively colored-to-match night gown.

Additionally, Swalot has a bit more "plump" scaling in her body design, being on the extra thicc side ...
