Credits

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Can I use these sprites in my own project(s)?
A: Everything that I have on display is free to use so long as the people involved are given the credit where it is due as opposed to just lumping the credentials for it all under my project alone. I have links to the credentials page posted in these descriptions for a reason.

Q: Do you take commission work?
A: As it currently stands I don't have a Patreon, Paypal or Ko-fi to speak of in order to transfer money over to or from somebody else, let alone knowledge on how to even work those kind of things. So to all of the people privately asking me if I'd be up to doing commission work it's going to be a gigantic no.

Q: Will you be tackling beta content?
A: I have no such plans to include unused Pokémon in this project as the intent was & always has been to display what has made it into the games. If you want to see beta designs I highly suggest checking out the Forgotten Dex over at Pokéos as you are not going to find it here.

Q: Are there plans to do replicate this project with backsprites/overworld sprites.
A: Simple answer, no. This project is monotonous enough with just front sprites, icons & item sprites. I don't see myself adding on anymore than what's already on display here.

Q: Is this Pokémon going to be added to the project at some point?
A:

Please do not ask me if or when x form of Pokémon is getting added!

The priority of NDVD is focused on what is mostly seen in the main series competitively (with some spin-off material being thrown into the mix). That means some forms have higher priority in the eyes of artists regardless of relevancy; the mere existence of now defunct the Misc Dex is niche enough. This is why at the time I am typing this, Koraidon & Miraidon have no battle sprites for their various ride forms as while they do have existing form code in things like Home & SV, they serve no battle purpose & therefore aren't given priority when it comes to having sprites made; let alone in the DS artstyle. Similar things can be said for the Starmobiles as they are coded in SV as boss fights. However the reason they appear in the Spin-offs/Extras category is explained here.

This answer also applies for whenever a new generation is on the horizon & the Pokémon that have been shown off in brief screenshots & gameplay footage have little to go off of for a design; such examples of this being when Gimmighoul & the Varoom line were teased with little to go off of for what they looked like outside the brief clips we had seen of them in trailers; said clips obscuring most of their design. Until they get revealed officially; whether it be in gameplay footage or other forms of media leading up to the launch of a new game with a clear image of what they look like, I will be omitting their inclusion.

Lastly sprite art take time to make & like it or not the mainline competitive stuff gets get's the lion's share. As it currently stands I'm only person on the internet currently doing both battle sprites & menu sprites for the event costumes in Pokémon GO & such a task has not been an easy feat; as a side note this is also why my project currently excludes the Holowear costumes from Unite. Please be patient whenever something new comes out & don't complain when I exclude stuff. It's ultimately my project at the end of the day so only I get to decide what makes it in. No amount of how much you want to see things being added to this project is going to make their inclusion go by any faster.
