I can't even begin to tell you how amazingly convenient it is to have the Pokémon Sprite Codes ((::Pikachu::, etc.))
So I've kind of been wondering...why there aren't any Codes for Trainers or the Items? I'd think it would be almost as useful as the Pokémon codes. I realize that it would take a lot of work to finish, but it can be a kind of long-term project. This would prevent people (granted, Mods for the Trainer sprites) from having to track down the codes for specific sprites they're looking for. It would ESPECIALLY be of help to somebody like me, who sometimes is forced to use a school computer...and they have the Pokémon Elite 2000 site blocked.
On top of that, a lot of modern sprites are not on that convenient site (if memory serves. Again, it's blocked to me right now so I can't double-check), and therefore, unless they could find another lone sprite somewhere, it is a lot more work than desired. If they can't, they'd have to use Spriter's Resource, cut the image out of a sheet, whiten the background, gray any white areas on the sprite, Transparify it and finally upload it somewhere like Tinypic. That's a LOT of work for one sprite. And it just really makes a PC look that much better if you're using Sprites in them. (Plus, it can be quite annoying when you're looking for sprites and have to go back and forth between two sites to get the IMG link and then code it in.
And if you've considered the idea before and decided against it, would you then please inform me as to why?
