Talk Sprites/Mugshots: When you view the team layout; EG: while playing the rom, select the left-hand button. The character portrait for each respective character is shown on the top screen. (uhh do you use Windows) If you use Windows, you can take a screencap and paste it on Paint. Crop the mugshot, making sure you don't cut off any part of the mugshot, zoom in, and use the pencil tool to make every single pixel around the sprite white. Crop it again, and there you have it. It's a very tedious procedure, but one can always get a program like Paint.Net (it's freeware) and magic wand the pixels or use Global Mode and the paint bucket to accelerate the procedure.

That's what I do, anyways.

The same basically goes for in-game sprites! Those tiny ones, I mean.

(do I make sense, or..??)
