Custom C-Gear Skins with PokeGen [Tutorial + Resource]

Hima · October 10, 2012

The C-Gear skins are only allowed a certain amount of tiles. Too complex of an image makes it run out of unique tiles, hence why it stops generating an image.
Remember, colors are limited to 16 unique.

Thank you for the tip. I decided to approach it much more simpler and have achieved a basic, but nice little cgear skin. I am going to continue with experimenting with this.

I am not to thrilled with the limitations on Black 2 that I was hit with. I was really wanting to change the icons to heart shaped but alas I cycled through it repeatedly without getting them. I've settled on stars for the mean time. The circular rings are a touch annoying as the middle rings are at the least visible color.

I nearly ripped myself a new one through the butthurt this has caused me. The Pokestock downloads aren't working and there is no other mirror on the internet. (photoshop cs4 and pokecgear, the french version) I took it upon myself to just fool around with what I have. So far, this is the product.
I gave up on having more than one color. This stuff is hard to work with and the PokeCGear program cuts off the image half-way like the one below on the left. Until this stuff can be reuploaded, this is all I can come up with in terms of custom cgear templates. (the right image)

--->

The skin works in both Pokemon BW and Pokemon BW2. (the template bars are obvious in BW2) There is a wee bit of clipping in the top-left corner. (the border of the UI) Unless you're extremely observant, it isn't noticeable.

Try this skin out for yourself:

All of my images seem to break off besides the Persona 4 one and official pokemon cgear images. I don't know what I did right on the persona 4 skin. I was hoping someone could help me out. This is my only hurdle from making some pretty elegant skins.

Can you make a Megaman Battle Network skin?

With this http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/10459/820358-dark_proto_soul_super.jpg or this http://dsmedia.ign.com/ds/image/article/100/1003803/mega-man-battle-network-remake-set-for-ds-20090715091601318_640w.jpg

If those two are impossible to make, this one would be fine http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110918232548/twewy/images/9/97/Neku_Artwork_1.jpg

Thank you

Here's my Pichu work in progress:

Could somebody help me out with this image? I save this image:

then I decrease the color depth to 16 colors with IrfanView and save it as a .BMP but it turns out like this Screen%20Shot%202012-10-20%20at%201.22.42%20AM.png

What I do is create individual swatches of the colors (up to 15 of them), then copy & paste the swatches into GraphicsGale or any program that can reduce the color depth to 16. I guess I should make a video about it later.
