[Tut] How to make a Pixel Art Pokemon (THE FIRST 150) [EASY] - Quinck - Jun 8, 2012
If you have an original Pokedex made by Hasbro, then you can simply do this yourself. If not, PM me with the pokemon you would like a picture of and I will happily send you the image so you can make your very own pixel art.
Some Pokemon already pictured to help you practice:
Charizard

Step 1
Download the old version of MS Paint or use Photoshop.

Step 2
Paint: Grab your pencil brush and zoom in x8
Photoshop: Grab your pencil tool and set to 1px and zoom in until you see the small pixel squares.
Step 3
Look at your resource image and simply plot all of the points that you see in your image.
Step 4
Once finished, grab an image off of Google of your chosen Pokemon and save it. Open it in your desired program and color grab the color codes by using the eyedropper tool. You can also download an eyedropper tool online if you search it in Google as well.

Step 5
Color your pokemon accordingly and you are finished. You can look up tutorials on how to make pixel art backgrounds or scenarios as well.

Optional
If you want, you can enlarge your image by doubling the pixel size, or increasing the image size via Photoshop.
Also, you can edit some portions of the sprite and make an animated pixel art if you wish.
This was my first tutorial posted on Hack Forums and I do hope you have enjoyed it. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or post here.
Thank you.

This is fucking awesome man, I did this with a Haunter in like 6th grade for a project.
* - Diabolic - Jun 8, 2012
This is awesome, I'll be sure to try do a Haunter.

Awesome tutorial, you could potentially also use those for minecraft pixel art if anyone is actually into that stuff. Also, can't GIMP do this just fine?

Ah that is true. Minecraft is always used for pixel art.
I never used GIMP before, but I am sure you can use that as well.
