i was looking for this for a long time^^

anyone know where i can get the 2nd frame for the emerald suicune sprite?

Bulbapedia has the sprite fully animated, though I'm not sure if you can get the frame from there. I'm not a spriter but I didn't want to leave you hanging with the question.

alright^^ i think i can actually get the frames, thank you^^

You can get the frame you want using the Print Screen button. It's usually by the Delete/Home/End buttons, but my keyboard has it over the Num Pad. Find a page with the animated sprites, and hit it when the frame you want is on the screen. Then a pic of the screen will be on the clipboard and you can paste it into Paint, Photoshop, whatever you use.

I was gonna start making banners, but I don't really know what program I should use out of the ones I got at the moment. Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop?

PikaCal

From what I know, Illustrator is used for vectoring images/creating vexels. In terms of picture editing, I'd definitely go with Photoshop. I believe that's what the majority use (plus, it's great for editing colors, applying textures, cropping out images, making transparencies and all that jazz).

PS...for sure.

^Oh thanks with the help. If you want to see something I did in Photoshop, then click the link to Imageshack in my signature.

I need a no-download internet program that I can use to animate, that can hold a rather large amount of frames.
Any suggestions?

Anyone know where I can get parts for building a region map?

Yep... there's actually a site that's listed in the Tutorials and Resources thread in this forum that links to a very good website that has many different kinds of sprite sheets from many different games on handheld systems.

I cannot find any PMD(2) attack sprite thingies anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some?
