Animated Pokémon

This is a custom Wallpaper Engine Web Wallpaper featuring ALL currently existing pokémon and their forms, most of them animated using Generation 5 sprites.

Available on the Steam Workshop.

Manual Installation

1. Download the latest release from the releases page;
2. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder;
3. Right click on the desktop and select Create Wallpaper;
4. Select Create Wallpaper on the Editor;
5. Search for folder you unzipped and select the index.html file;
6. Give the wallpaper a name and click Create;

Features

• Customize the type of background and the colors;
• Click on the pokédex national number to choose a new random pokémon;
• Whitelist and blacklist pokémon to be displayed, using the pokédex national number, PokéAPI id or the pokémon name;
• Adjust the speed in which pokémon are cycled through;
• Choose the types of sprites to be displayed.

Pokémon Sprites Types:

• Animated: All 649 pokémon up to generation 5 (Black & White), enabled by default;
• Gen5: All remaining pokémon up to 898 (Sword & Shield) have been drawn using Gen5-like sprites that aren't animated;
• Gen8: Some alternate forms in Sword & Shield don't have Gen5-like sprites, so they have the Gen8 sprites instead;
• Artwork: Pokémon in Arceus and some alternate forms in Gen8 don't have sprites, so they use the official artwork instead.

For a better experience don't allow any other sprite type in the Wallpaper Engine settings to only show animated sprites.

To see all currently available pokémon in their original form, select Allow Static Gen 5 Sprites and deselect Allow Alternate Forms.

To see all currently available pokémon and their alternate forms, allow every sprite type and select Allow Alternate Forms.

Building

Requires Python installed. Run python build.py to download all the sprites to the sprites/ directory and build the pokemon.js file containing all pokémon info.
