    This was brought up in the old forums but since there is a new board I figure we may as well have a thread for it here.

    The idea is to let people use their own trainer sprites. You guys have discussed methods of doing this in the past. It seems silly, but this sort of silly thing is going to be a big deal to some players (and that's why it keeps getting brought up!).

    Again, I'm certain this is low on your to-do list if it ever gets done, but I'd like to see it happen!

    Fair enough, Coyotte. Now I wish I knew C++!

    I hope someone picks this feature up. I understand why you'd want it to be off by default, definitely. People could put all kinds of stuff as their avatar. :P I wouldn't have any problems running a server with it on, though.

    I wouldn't want personal avatars if I were running a server, too much trouble to "police" them and make sure nobody uses anything inappropriate.

    If I ran a server with custom avatars enabled, I would be sure to add a warning to the server's opening message.

    What about if players themselves could opt out of custom sprites, and they were "opted out" by default? The player would be warned when they tried to activate them, and players with customs sprites active would appear as question mark trainers.

    That's a good idea! Though I think coyotte still isn't interested in programming it.

    Maybe you could 'dress up' your sprite? or the default sprites already in. like the hair color, clothes color, skin color, simple things like that (sounds simple enough)

    I think if it will be added ( it's definitely a low priority ), there would simply be a URL field.

    No further discussion is needed here. The developers will decide whether to implement this or not.
