Pokemon XG/XD HD Texture Pack V1.0 - mikeyX - 12-02-2021

[Image: rxu9sX3.png]

This is a texture pack mainly for a rom hack of Pokemon XD: Gales of Darkness called Pokemon XG: Next Gen made by StarsMmd. It can be found here: https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/37672-pokemon-xg-next-gen/
This pack has been made and tested using version v1.2.1-3 of the hack.
It is possible to use this pack on Pokemon XD: Gales of Darkness but some UI elements might not be upscaled!

UI elements have been remade by me by hand using Inkscape and are available as vector images here: https://mega.nz/file/gB4GBSSJ#vj7DVhNCdm_MzSLu5KCn3ZdTsPH6wffX0cMolCPfFhY

Pretty much everything has been done with these exceptions:
  • VS Mode (it's kinda broken in XG anyways)
  • Icons of Pokemon, they wouldn't look good upscaled, looking to re-render them.
  • Probably some stuff in a corner or two...

The In-game text still looks blurry/low resolution. Why?

Hey, I don't own this game but the screenshots look good Smile just the font could be a bit sharper

Maybe a mod can move it in the right sub forum so more people will see it

Hello there, thank you! Unfortunately, the text cannot be directly upscaled unlike some other games. I've had a conversation with someone asking a similar thing and here was my explanation (I'll add it to the post):
