I was about to explain it but then I realized that you’re probably on the team 😂 okay and then this exact line came up in the video. i need to think before I type
I will say, with the licorice being sweet thing with Liganium, it's actually based on how in colder parts of the world the only source of sugar or sweetness they could grow was licorice root
i do like how liganium does have the flower part of the licorice plant, but i kinda wish the original design and the remade design combined it with the rest of the licorice design lol, it would be cool to see them combined
I know it'll take way longer, but I feel like backsprites would add way more personality! Mawnana needs it mostly because of the whole "Mawile looking back" sprite they usually have.
@@RetroNC Yeah they're very well made lol, the question is, should they be that well made (they're funny and have almost too much effort put into them lol)
Thank you so much for doing Pokémon Sweet! One of my favorite ROM Hacks back in the day. Mawnana looks incredible! More unique design that looks incredible in motion! Slugnut and Pumpkinete are just perfection, everything I wanted them to be! I do think Liganium could’ve used a bit more to help it be distinguished as a LIME type, but the design still looks super good, and dex accurate finally! Banger video man, hope to see you continue :)
As one of the many people who helped contribute to Pokémon Sweet 2th, color me curious and intrigued about the prospect of some of the sequel designs getting a makeover in your style.
I was caught off guard when you mentioned Ephraim225. That guy is involved in a lot of fire emblem rom hacking and i think I've Even talked to him a few times. Small world we live in.
Honestly, great work on all the sprites man. I'm jealous that you can make such good looking seemingly with ease. (Of course not counting the animation process...)
Ngl, Pokémon sweet could potentially use a competitive metagame in order to see which type would be the most powerful, considering its type chart is brand new
Since this is one of the best rom hack game that changes everything and has a very awesome story and characters, and is one of my absolute favorites...I'm going to be very critical on your designs lol let's get started! 1.Mawnana: the og design may be extremely simple, but it's surprisingly effective! Your design is definitely adorable and is definitely better, the only thing that is bothering me is that it looks like the banana peel has been peeled abit to much. Still! 8.5/10! 2.Liganium: the og design is a total letdown to its pre-evolutions...but it's ok? Your design does look sooooo much better...buuuutttt...the mouth is the only issue to me. Still, 9/10! 3.Slugnut: yeah...the og design is kinda lackluster....but your version? Yeah it wins hands down! 10/10 4.Pumpkinette: it's og is cute but could definitely be better. Your design however does take away it's cuteness and made it slightly scary which works though! 10/10! 5.Smorelax: ok..while the og is just a recolor of snorlax but with a marshmallow on a stick..it's somehow perfect! Your version...it's..slightly cute? But it's just missing the charm of the original and is the only one that really doesn't work...not bad at all, but it can't beat the og. 5/10
Black licorice is usually made bitter but that doesn't mean licorice as a whole isn't sweet. Like, the red kind that you mentioned in the video itself is sweet.
absolutely love pokemon sweet, and although i think there’s a charm to the lackluster, simple designs of the original i’ve always wanted to see someone redesign them so this video is a dream come true in a way lol, they all turned out so beautiful! i feel inspired to at least draw some of my own redesigns now
Now I want to make a Pokémon rom hack called Pokémon spice where instead of sweets, the Pokémon are inspired by different kinds of spices from all over the world
Actually, I like these designs of both Pumpkinette and Smorelax even better than the crappier versions. Pumpkinette looks very Halloween-ish 🎃, while Smorelax looks very cute and awesome at the same time! So yeah...10/10! 👍❤
I love Slugnut the most, he's my favorite. Also I found your sprites on Deviantart and followed you there so I was pleasantly surprised to find out you had a RUclips channel so I could see the process!
Both of these ROM design remaking videos have gotten awesome reception, so I most likely will do an another one in the future, but for a different romhack!
I was hoping you'd make Mawana forward facing, really happy, one arm holding onto the base of it's hair as it uses a fully open banana peel to fly as helicopter blades, revealing the full banana in a knife shape. I still adore the sprite you made, though, make no mistake!
Very fun to see peoples own processes & methods on making sprites, found this channel not too long ago and have been binging the videos like they're candy.
Okay, I was just playing through this hack on my own time after watching this video, and I got to the third gym, and I just want to point out that the dialogue there HEAVILY implies that Gym Leader Ban sexually assaulted Gym Leader Lem. Like, it’s very blatant with what Lem says and how Ban immediately changes the topic afterwards.
I am so happy to see these. Pokemon sweet version has always been my fave rom hack (call it nostalgia bias i do not care also that pumpkinete redesign goes HARD)
I'm gonna be so honest on your Smorelax redesign I thought the teeth were little eyes and his eyes were eyebrows and I'm a little sad that he doesn't have the goofy little face I initially saw
if the meganium's shiny isn't based on black licorice, we riot. Also the colors on the underside of the banana on the Mawhile seem a bit flat. maybe add some brown spots or a deeper bit of shading to break it up a little
I absolutely loved Pumpkinete so much it kinda reminds me of the Pumpmon digimon but as a Pokémon and I'm a sucker for these kinds of stuff. Also, don't call Smorelax an abomination if you haven't seen Snakewood's Skylax, that thing is nightmare fuel and easily tops Gorelax in being creepy. Anyway, I really hope this become a series but I feel like it would probably be better to stick to old games like Sweet and Snakewood, stuff like Insurgence and Clover are too new imo while still having people working on
I mean, it's a loveable abomination, sooo... But yeah, I totally agree with games like Clover being still pretty new - that would feel like I would be undermining the time it's team put into a much more higher quality result, you know?
Hey Retro,sense you like soo much pokemon sprites but you dont really known how to make a pokemon game,i want you to check a guy named Tasty Kenter, he is doing a pokemon game but his chat makes everything,you can add pokemon,be a gym leader and many more,i think this could be interesting for you sense you are soo good at Spriting.
I wonder if we'll see any remakes of Pokémon Wack. It's certainly got a lot (and I mean a _lot,_ I think nearing 5,000 at this point) of designs to work with, though like with Pokémon Clover a good chunk of those concepts are uh... let's just say not for good boys and girls.
Ok, I get the thing you're going to do.. but what the hell even is this Pokemon Sweet?
I was about to explain it but then I realized that you’re probably on the team 😂
okay and then this exact line came up in the video. i need to think before I type
I hear a person conveniently saying to get the video moving.

Mawnana needs it mostly because of the whole "Mawile looking back" sprite they usually have.
Yeah, though I usually don't make them due to their lesser appeal in comparison lol
Cant wait for when you remake pokemon clover sprites
Oh god I forgot that thing existed-
I mean.. I think they still hold up very well :)
@@veeforvirgin how could you forget absolute peak
@@RetroNC Yeah they're very well made lol, the question is, should they be that well made (they're funny and have almost too much effort put into them lol)
I've seen some of them get updated sprites on showdown, like Deloris and Hofucno
I actually started playing Sweet Version recently. Didn't know there was a sequel/second version, will definitely download that too
Happy to introduce you to a classic ROM series!
gotta say, these sprites turned out incredibly, amazing work
Happy to satisfy!
Thank you so much for doing Pokémon Sweet! One of my favorite ROM Hacks back in the day.

Banger video man, hope to see you continue :)
Yeah, now that I think of it.. where the hell does even Lime fit into it lol
Pokemon Sweet was the first rom hack I ever knew about. Seeing the sprites remade brings me such joy! These are fantastic!

We don't talk about the animation process
Love how Slugnut turned out, great stuff!
Hate how hungry it made me though
Ngl, Pokémon sweet could potentially use a competitive metagame in order to see which type would be the most powerful, considering its type chart is brand new
Oh! You full on make custom sprites! Not just remixes! This is amazing!!! Glad this is how I found you!
I'm glad too :)

Okay, but genuinely, I would LOVE to play this game with that Pumpkinete sprite.
Honestly, I think you could make the already good sprites of Pokemon Sirius/Altair/Vega and make them better.
Also I want to hug your Smorelax design.
I want to hug it too🥺
absolutely love pokemon sweet, and although i think there’s a charm to the lackluster, simple designs of the original i’ve always wanted to see someone redesign them so this video is a dream come true in a way lol, they all turned out so beautiful! i feel inspired to at least draw some of my own redesigns now

gg ez
This is amazing! You deserve so much more recognition!
Happy to hear you think so :D
Ooooh these are delicious, especially the donut Magcargo
oh shit it's the dev
I love Slugnut the most, he's my favorite. Also I found your sprites on Deviantart and followed you there so I was pleasantly surprised to find out you had a RUclips channel so I could see the process!
I was so excited to know if there would be another one of this! I LOVED the snorlax and mawile designs, and the animations are so good! Nice work :)

The fact that meditite is just meditite but a bit darker (and sweeter) in pokemon sweet
Very fun to see peoples own processes & methods on making sprites, found this channel not too long ago and have been binging the videos like they're candy.
I see what you did there👀
Okay, I was just playing through this hack on my own time after watching this video, and I got to the third gym, and I just want to point out that the dialogue there HEAVILY implies that Gym Leader Ban sexually assaulted Gym Leader Lem.

Cant wait for the remake of pokemon insurgence sprites
I'm gonna be so honest on your Smorelax redesign I thought the teeth were little eyes and his eyes were eyebrows and I'm a little sad that he doesn't have the goofy little face I initially saw
Smorelax's animation really sells the stretchy marshmallow texture
Lovedd this game when i was a kid omg it always made me hungry lol also these sprites are amazing!!! You never miss ❤️
Pokemon sweet has a special place in my heart. It was the first and only time I've ever gotten a shiny in a rom hack, cubone. (accidentally).
Pokemon sweet was my favorite rom hack. In childhood i could not remember normal type effectiveness, but maatered sweet effectiveness
Good video
Pokémon Sweet is one of my favorite rom hacks ever!!!! I hope you do more or even make it as an available version with your sprites!!!
man i remember playing this a while back on some shady website that probably gave my computer a virus, good times
I wish Slugnut was a leaking jelly donut, with the jelly as its body
Great job on these once again!
Your sprites would fit right into the games :]
I mean, they literally would (since they have the same properties🤓)
Jokes aside, thank you for the praise!
Okay but lickorice is literally "sweetroot" in german! It can come in salty flavour too, but it is a sweetener!
The pumpkinette redesign is incredible!
You could have made the donut a jelly donut.
Your sprites are always absurdly good
Making sprites for 4 years brings its perks :)
I mean, if you try the licorice syrup, it’s pretty sweet
It’s also used as cough medicine
Pumpkinette is my personal favorite of the redesigns :}
Love your content, makes me want to get into sprite making myself! Keep it up!
Oh, thank you! If you do get into it, update me with your progress!
this is great!!!, i love you make this remake things
Omg.... pokemon sweet.... i havent thought about it for yeaaaaaars
Damn those 10 years went by fast
if the meganium's shiny isn't based on black licorice, we riot.
Also the colors on the underside of the banana on the Mawhile seem a bit flat. maybe add some brown spots or a deeper bit of shading to break it up a little
Haven't heard of sweet in ages
7:27
Well actually, with a second look at the cookbook-
🤓
theses are can be ideas for a regional form in rom hack for sure
I've played the original way back but I didn't know it got sequel. Definitely playing the sequel.
I really appreciate your videos keep making this custom sprites videos I love them💪💪🔥
As long as it's a hobby, there's no end in sight😇
Very excited for the Clover sprites; Cirpent & Traumobra are by far my favourite fakémon of all time.
Pokemon sweet edition was always my fav rom hack 4 pokemon!
I absolutely loved Pumpkinete so much it kinda reminds me of the Pumpmon digimon but as a Pokémon and I'm a sucker for these kinds of stuff. Also, don't call Smorelax an abomination if you haven't seen Snakewood's Skylax, that thing is nightmare fuel and easily tops Gorelax in being creepy.
Anyway, I really hope this become a series but I feel like it would probably be better to stick to old games like Sweet and Snakewood, stuff like Insurgence and Clover are too new imo while still having people working on
I mean, it's a loveable abomination, sooo...
But yeah, I totally agree with games like Clover being still pretty new - that would feel like I would be undermining the time it's team put into a much more higher quality result, you know?
It would be funny to see your take on some of Pokemon Wack's sprite. They are... perticuliar XD
You should do a sweet guzzlord and name it “Gelalord” from Gelatin and Guzzlord and make it a Gelatin Guzzlord! PLEASE PLEASE IM BEGGING!
damn this guys really good at pixel art
🥰
Curious about something:
If pokémon clover have won the poll, You would do a redesign in somes clovermon or a resprite?
Buddy who tf decided to rip 140 base stats form snorlax was a good idea
I’m LITERALLY playing this game now!
Same.
Sweet Version is so good and the best ROM hack. Glad you agree.
Pokémon sweet needs to comeback
Yo, what are you using to animate these? They look so sick.
I make and animate the sprites in Aseprite
Hey Retro,sense you like soo much pokemon sprites but you dont really known how to make a pokemon game,i want you to check a guy named Tasty Kenter, he is doing a pokemon game but his chat makes everything,you can add pokemon,be a gym leader and many more,i think this could be interesting for you sense you are soo good at Spriting.
Algorithm showed you up again yay now i can subscribe
What sprite maker do you use?
Aseprite
Anyway you could give a download to the rom with the new sprites?
I think this is the first time I don't hate a Meganium redesign/designs (I very much dislike Meganium, worst Chikorita evolution imo)
these redesigns are making me hungry
Wise words
I wonder if we'll see any remakes of Pokémon Wack. It's certainly got a lot (and I mean a _lot,_ I think nearing 5,000 at this point) of designs to work with, though like with Pokémon Clover a good chunk of those concepts are uh... let's just say not for good boys and girls.
Wack is definitely a good contender, some of them have pretty big "remaking" potential lol
Can you redesign pokemons from Pokemon Quartz. Most of them look so bad
YESYESYES
Sad they gutted snorlax
cute
epic
These are so adorable!! You’re very talented at sprite making!
Thank youu
