A collection of sprite issues
Forum-Index → Bug Reports → Confirmed Bugs → A collection of sprite issuesIn addition to this, I find that greninja's sprite is also pretty inaccurate. While I've given up on having the sprite design changed (though it is also inaccurate and SHOULD be changed), colors on the sprite are not correct.

Greninjas face, belly, webbing in this game are white whereas in the games, anime, TCG, etc. it is tan. The tongue also looks off but i cant tell if thats because of the white, the sprite itself, or the actual shade of pink itself

i made the limbs as dark as the face, the lil flame on the head more fitting and changed the blue. i guess the og spriter either made an error, or their source had an error. (example: shiny skrelp on serebii)
EDIT 2: I think I understand now from where the color errors come from. It's not a secret, we're using Smogon's/Showdown's sprites. (Nor is it forbidden "[...] these sprites are free for non-profit use.") Could it be the sprites are downloaded or screenshotted from gameplay?

I found another forum using the same sprites: https://eeveeexpo.com/resources/1101 | hyperlinked version
Did I miss an update somewhere and can those reports be moved to 'resolved'?
Kitties! Riako has no idea what he unleashed with that update🙀

The reported issue is now fixed, as
Calyrex's mini-sprite has been added.
The original issue was there being no sprite at all; but there is another issue related to the Pokedex issues linked on the first page - Snowrex now displays Calyrex's mini-sprite instead. All Pokemon with forms (Megas, item-changes, events, etc.) also have this issue - they display the base mini-sprite.
To clarify, this only applies to the Rumble Report Notification (in feeds), not the message upon retrieving on the Rumble Overview page (which displays the correct mini-sprite).

This is the same issue as the
Pokedex/Rumble issue above, and also applies to all forms (megas,
item-change, events, etc.) - all use base form's mini-sprite.
This also applies to Wonder Trade History notifications.

The Mega mini-sprites and Ogerpon's
unmasked mini-sprite have been added. Also scrolled through the
entire Userprofile Pokedex - now the only missing mini-sprite is
Mecha Zekrom.
Regional variant issue (when Interacting) is same as the Pokedex/Rumble/Auction/WT issue.
The overall issue would be:
Regional variant issue (when Interacting) is same as the Pokedex/Rumble/Auction/WT issue.
The overall issue would be:
Forms of pokemon (such as Megas and
Events) display their base form's mini-sprite in the following
features: Home-tab Pokedex, Rumble Report notification, Auction
outbid/lose/win/sold notifiction, Wonder Trade History
notification, and the Train Pokemon button (individual page, as
well as clicklists)
Pienda's mini-sprite has been added.

This is actually a slightly different
issue (to the Ho-Oh egg image). This is due to all images being
migrated from "pokeheroes.com" to "staticpokeheroes.com". Looks
like it was originally reported here. (here's the report I made).
In the BHC notification, the coded image links are outdated (i.e. not updated during the image migration), while with the Ho-Oh code notification, the image link was updated to 'staticpokeheroes', but Ho-Oh's egg image must have been either: not migrated properly, not manually uploaded, or accidentally removed.
The Ho-Oh egg image is now more related to the Koraidon/Miraidon issue. All 3 of them are currently missing egg artworks. (Which in Ho-Oh's case, affects the WT notification)

This is the case for all Unova Forces
of Nature eggs (regular/shiny sprites and Enamorus are fine):






This is also the case for most of the Mr and Van Bagon lines:

















(can't spot any in this one, included if someone
wants to check)







(bow tie shading)


(The megas are fine, as those were created later)
left is "bw_front", right is "img.php"
There might be differences with other older sprites as well.

The mini-sprites are broken in the
Home-tab Pokedex, Rumble Report Notification, Auction
Notifications, WT History Notification, and when Interacting (for
all 9 forms and the giga), because there is no base form sprite for
Alcremie:

Could be fixed by uploading the Vanilla sprite (
bw_field/869a.png) to the base form link
(bw_field/869.png).
Alcremie's full size sprites are also broken within Battles (needs testing as to what's causing it - likely same as explanation below). They are not broken in most features, including: Party, Boxes, Rumble, Salon, GTS, Auctions, Battle Team - likely because those refer to a specific Pokemon's sprite, therefore having a sweet; not a general one (such as in the Pokedex)

Explanation for missing full-size Pokedex sprites:
For regular Alcremie, the sprite images
use the code 0869, followed by the sweet's letter code (s, l, b, c,
f, r, k), followed by a letter from a-i (e.g. 0869kc for Alcremie
(Matcha) with Star Sweet)
For Shiny Alcremie, the sprite images use the code 1869, followed by the sweet's letter code (s, l, b, c, f, r, k) - there are no shiny sprites for each form; there's only 7 variations. (e.g. 1869s for Shiny Alcremie with Strawberry Sweet).
For the Giga, both the sprite image and Pokedex use the code 0869zg (1869zg for shinies) - no issues here.
The Giga has an alternative sprite image, using the codes 0869g and 1869g (relevant below).
The Pokedex uses the code 0869a to 0869i for regular forms, which means the images don't actually exist - thus displaying as broken. With the exception of Alcremie (Ruby Swirl), which has Pokedex code 0869g, displaying a Giga Alcremie instead.
For Shinies, the Pokedex uses the code 1869a to 1869i. This means that Alcremie (Ruby)'s Shiny - Pokedex code 1869b - displays the Shiny Berry sprite. Similarly with Shinies of Matcha and Salted - Shiny Clover (1869c) and Shiny Flower (1869f) are displayed respectively. Shiny Ruby Swirl displays a Shiny Giga Alcremie (1869g). The other 5 Shinies are broken.

The Solaris line's mini-sprites don't have a visible (dark-colour) border, so they blend in on the (profile) Pokedex page:
There's a suggestion to fix Diancie's sprites here (reported in this thread here).
Guessing the mentioned remade sprites were created as a base for Diancie (Emera). There's currently a huge difference between the regular and Emeran forms, so there's more reason to implement this now.
EDIT 01/08/2025:
Fiestabray has no mini-sprite (in boxes and profile-dex).

If it seems like I used a lot of
unnecessary bbcode, that's because I wanted to test a couple
things, so instead of spamming codes in a diary post, I did so
while doing something useful lol"
