Hey! So i'm going to make an alternate template for you people after all, just not in the mood to mess around with those in game icons in the end.
Anyway i believe that a simple character template is perfect for this new maker, it has to be easy to work with for everyone, especially for the beginner, otherwise they will only expect you to do all the work for them.
The rtp list is good but better to use it to create separate parts that you can add to the template yourself, this will also encourage more people to create different "franken" sprites right off the bat as well as recolor any piece more easily, and not everyone will use the same characters as often.. for the most part.
I'm also thinking of a more top down angle, this will set the maker, or graphics apart to the rest.
So the template is small enough for anyone to play with and big enough to fit comfortably within XP size regulations.
I expect to work on this alone for a while (and when i have the time), feel free to give me some feedback on this poke style angle.
Poke look abandoned for now
, still saved up.
