    Tutorial by @SongSing: here

    Hi everyone, I've noticed a lot of people don't seem to enjoy the new sprites (and neither do I, btw). Here's a short tutorial on how to revert back to the old ones.

    First off, download this zip archive: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93172108/po/oldsprites/sprites.zip
    It contains the old sprites along with a Diancie sprite (no shiny version, however) in the same style. Save this anywhere you'd like, as long as you know where it is.

    Next, you want to go to your PO directory. By default, this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Pokemon Online on Windows. Specifically, you want to go to "db/pokes/6G" (here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pokemon Online\db\pokes\6G). If you click on the location in Windows Explorer, you can type a path; copy paste that into the box. It should look like this (I already have these sprites installed - for you the sprites.zip file should be a lot larger):

    Last step is pretty straightforward. Replace the sprites.zip in that "6G" directory with the sprites.zip you just downloaded. You'll most likely have to give Explorer administrative rights - this is fine. Just click on Ok.

    When you're done, restart PO.

    If there's any problem with the sprites, tell me. I'll try to fix them. Some things might look a bit out of place due to some changes in the new version (for the new sprites). If you installed it and it worked for you, let me know by posting below! Maybe if enough people show interest the change will be reverted.

    Before anyone asks, no there is not going to be a 1080p tutorial lens flare montage thingy.
