This is a collection of free to use assets that are intended to be used for Generation 3 Pokémon decomp hacking, initially created and managed by members of the Team Aqua's Hideout Discord server. Note that we recommend forking this repository so you can easily receive and submit new assets; see the wiki for instructions. All assets are both free to use and edit by default, but if any assets specifically mention not being free to edit, please respect the author's wishes.
Want to contribute? Ping @Pawkkie in the Discord!
Note that we also have a significant wiki of tutorials, feature branches and more, be sure to check it out!
Anything and everything that might be of interest to romhackers! This includes but is not limited to:
- Feature Branches, on the wiki
- Music
- Sound effects
- Sprites
- Overworld trainer / object / misc sprites
- Trainer front / back sprites
- Custom Pokémon sprites
- Tilesets
- User Interface elements
- Anything else!
- First level folders are organized by asset type
- Second level folders are organized by creator or project, so individual creators have the easiest time maintaining and adding to their own body of work and crediting the appropriate people is easier.
- Any folder that includes an actual asset that is not exclusively the work of one individual must supply a README.md indicating:
- The original creator(s) of an asset if it was part of a larger scale project
- The original creator of an asset that has been modified in any way (recoloured / resized etc.)
- Feature branches are on their own wiki page
Many folders containing assets will also include preview images of the assets. Note that these previews are likely to be a bit blurry in this form due to markdown stretching etc., so you'll have to open the files themselves in a better image viewer to see them in sharper resolution.
Any assets you've made personally, or any assets you've found that are free to use, provided they are submitted alongside credit to their original creator.
In addition to everything in the initial list, I want to specify that alterations on existing work are also welcome! This includes but is not limited to:
- Links to feature branches we can host on the wiki
- Sprite recolours / resizes
- New interpretations of existing Pokémon sprites
- Riffs on existing Pokémon music
- Anything else!
Please remeber that if any of the work you submit is not entirely made by you from scratch, you must include credit to the original creator of your source material.
There are two main ways of submitting assets, pull requests and Discord submissions. Pull requests are preferred if possible. If you're submitting a Feature Branch, just send us a link on Discord!
If you don't know what a pull request is or are unfamiliar with GitHub, please read the repository's wiki to get set up!
It is very time consuming to manually add everything to the asset repository, so please PR if you're able to do so!
Fork this repository, and submit any assets you have / find / make as pull requests. Please ensure that you match the repository's organizational structure, and include README.md's crediting the original creators as applicable.
Please consider including preview images / soundbites of your assets in the README.md file, so repository users can enjoy all your work without having to open up every single file individually!
A sample file, README_sample.md, has been provided for reference.
Send your asset or a link to it to the appropriate channel in the Discord server, and indicate that you'd like it added to the repository. One of the maintainers will add it the next time they're available to do so. Note that you must supply the following submission criteria:
- Original creator of the source material
- Your preferred username, if this is your asset / your edit / recolour / resize / etc.
- Type of asset (song, overworld sprite, trainer portrait, etc.)
Huge thanks to anyone who's ever helped maintain the repository or submitted assets!
Current list of maintainers are: @Pawkkie @PCG06
