Provide PMD Portraits and Sprites #1036

Open GreatNovaDragon opened 4 months ago

GreatNovaDragon commented 4 months ago

Given Pokemon Conquest Data, and Pokemon Showdown sprites are provided, an additional sprite variant that has no reason to not exist ,given spinoff and inofficial sprites are there, would be to provide PMD portraits.

PMDCollab/SpriteCollab is already doing much, but has no public api. One requirement to use non-official sprites here though is to credit the sprite creators.

Are those official ROM/game scraped sprites?

GreatNovaDragon commented 4 months ago

It's a mix of official ROM/game scraped sprites and fan-created sprites. those fan-created sprites require credit

I check a bit of them and the collection is massive. Too many things IMHO.

There's certainly stuff to cut back, given there are alternative colourations of some sprites in it. Many things Could be automated, because the repo contains an tracker.json with all the neccesary metadata, and only the subgroups of colourations with the Names "Shiny" and "Normal" would massively already reduce the amount of sprites.

Additionally, one could also just use the Normal Portrait category.
