Client Type (ex. PC, Android, Webclient): PC Client Version (if known. Webclient has no version.): 2.6.2.1 When did you first notice the bug?: Now Have you been able to reproduce the bug?: Yes. Tested it with all costumes, and none of them have back sprites: it's just their front sprite Information (include relevant logs, replays, screenshots): Spoiler: Screenshot (If applicable) Sources to confirm the presence of a bug (ex. Smogon):
IIRC, this is more of a case of not implementing the sprites on time. As a result, the front sprites have been there as a placeholder ever since ORAS started. e: So, technically not a bug.
its cause they didnt exist. they still might not exist dunno. either way the cosplay pikachus are dead in gen 7 so theres that
Spoiler: Pikachu Belle gifs Showdown has Pikachu Belle back animations, but I cannot find any back sprites of any of the other Cosplay forms anywhere across the internet.
gen 6 back sprites don't actually exist for any pokemon every other pokemon here just uses a frame of their respective animation
my point was that no animations of them from the back seem to exist, nor are full 3d models available to make our own sprite from them
