First off, this is NOT a message to the Pixelmon devs/staff themselves. Y'all are likely working on Gen8 as first priority, so don't worry.
This post is for ANYONE who is willing to help update any of the outdated models in this mod. This is merely a list of pokemon who's models are still either "blocky" or "polygon-ish", or just lack any "animation". I will try to keep this list updated to the best of my ability as they are called out.
(EDIT: As of update 8.4.0, all "models" are now up to date with each other. With this said, the list will now just be for pokemon that lack "animation".)
The following Pokemon still need "animations":
- Kakuna
- Aron
- Lairon
- Blitzle
- Zebstrika
- Tympole
- Palpitoad
- Seismitoad
- Petilil
- Lilligant
- Basculin
- Frillish
- Jellicent
- Ferroseed
- Elgyem
- Beheeyem
- Shelmet
- Accelgor
- Bunnelby
- Diggersby
- Klefki
If anyone has noticed any other outdated models via Gen 1-7 that are within the "current public release", please do make note of them here so i can update the list for people who are willing to help update them.
NOTE: This does NOT include progress of stuff behind the scenes. The list only provides info on models that are outdated within the "current public release", emphasis on the PUBLIC, so only stuff that's officially out will be listed.
And TO THOSE WHO WISH TO HELP! If you, or someone else, would like to assist with modelling/animations, please feel free to private message a Pixelmon staff on Discord. Or apply to the modeling team by filling out this application form: https://pixelmonmod.com/application.php
Make sure to describe your skill level and link examples of your work.
P.S. I made this post specifically for those who don't even know where the actual list is (like myself), if there is one. It's likely a staff-access-only thing, hence why I'm dubbing this post as a "Public" version.
