Here are 4 trainers to start and gauge interest!
The limitations:
The images must remain exactly as the size that I have posted them in terms of height and width. (Best to just edit these images at current size really)
The colors in the image are the only ones that can be used. No additional. The background color will be transparent in game.

I like that some of them aren't just slapping a belly onto the existing sprite. A full rework makes a big difference.
928fd No.6463
>>6460>implementation requirementsNot sure we have any, but I'll leave that to OP.
I am willing to share my personal rules however, what follows are several of the guidelines I apply when doing one of these:
1. Respect the original palette. Don't bring in any colours of your own.
2. Respect colour usage. This means apply colours in a manner similar to how the sprite does. Is this colour used to shade and convey shape? Then you can too. Is this colour only used in outlines? Then for the outlines this shall be used. This also means shading ought be applied in a way that is fitting for the rest of the sprite.
In your example, you've decided to keep part of the shading on the belly as it was, it was supposed to signify the hip bone jutting outward slightly and her midriff catching some of that light. The belly now obscures the hip and the shape of the midriff is obviously not as it was - therefore the shading ought to reflect that. The light seems to originate from the left so the further, rightmost side should be a lot darker instead of just the top of the belly.
3. Respect clothing. Meaning have them be dressed in the exact same clothing they were already wearing, but make adjustments wherever needed in order to make things 'fit'.
4. In case of serious view obstruction of the belly, move elements around.
5. Keep the 'tone' of the sprite intact.
6. Don't go overboard with belly sizes.
These are just my rules and I have half a mind to just throw number 6 out of the window, but I was aiming for some kind of consistency here.
928fd No.6464
I was wondering though - how many of the female characters are we doing? Are we doing the very old ladies and super young ladies as well?
7ac82 No.6466
>>6464 That actually is a very good question and we are still missing the Battle Girl, Interviewer F, Tuber F, Twins, Team Aqua Grunt F, Team Magma Admin Courtney, All 3 variations of Triathlete F, Hex Maniac, Cooltrainer F, Parasol Lady, Psychic F, Pokefan F, Leader Roxanne, Leader Flannery, Leader Winona, Leader Liza, Frontier Brain Anabel, and Frontier Brain Lucy. I might have missed some however.
7ac82 No.6467
>>6466 and Picnicker F. That is one I missed and assuming I did not miss any others that would be 21 more that need edits.
060ec No.6468
>>6463This is all really great! The main "rules for implementation" is that there is no change to the colors used. I am not skilled enough to edit the color pallettes in game, so they need to remain the same in order to go in without issue. That the only hard and fast issue aside from size when it comes getting the sprite in the game.
Your other stuff is a lot about aesthetics, which I agree is important to keep consistent and I agree with everything you had to say about them. I don't want to have just one or two characters with a hyper pregnancy, ya know?
>>6464I intend to create 2 editions. One with all female characters made pregnant, and one where the youngest characters are not. Teens of indeterminate age would still be made pregnant, but obvious children such as the tubers, picknicker, or schoolkids would not be.
060ec No.6469
>>6466There are a few of these that I have done mock ups of, but I will admit that my spritework is not the best so if anyone has any others, I would be happy to see their take.

>>6469And I just remembered Elite Four Phoebe. How could I forget an E4 member. That makes 22 missing.
7ac82 No.6472
>>6468Just want to ask a couple questions.
1. Will this end up being a ROM Hack when it is all finished?
2. Will there be any other changes to the game besides every female character being pregnant such as changes to dialogue that acknowledges their pregnancy?
3. Would certain pokemon like Gardevoir or other obviously female pokemon be made pregnant as well. I know Gen 3 doesn't have gender differences since those did not appear until Gen 4 but in the case of Gardevoir it might be possible to change the gender ratio to make its whole evolution line a female only pokemon since this was before Gallade existed.
Just wanted to get these questions out of my system.
060ec No.6474
>>64721. Basically. I suppose that would be an accurate term.
2. Not at the moment. I don't have the know-how for that. If I figure it out, I might make a change or two, but I don't want to promise anything I am not 100% sure of.
3. No. This is just for trainers. I am considering a moemon hack, but I don't have the sprite skill so I would need a whole team of people to update that haha
7ac82 No.6477
>>6474That's fair. I'm not exactly the best when it comes to doing these edits as you saw from Shelly but I'll keep track of which ones still need edits so I can at least help out in some way.
928fd No.6483
Had some time to do some more, it's been easier to keep track of things like this. I've taken the ranger from
>>6150 and breeder from
>>6316 and modified them slightly. Hope that's okay.
If I'm missing any on this list let me know. Also OP should pay attention the legend here as I might need to update some sprites as I move along. I might notice mistakes or feel that the sprite is inconsistent with the others.
7ac82 No.6485
>>6484Actually we might be able to use Green’s backsprite because technically Emerald is able to connect to FRLG so we can use it for consistency purposes.
928fd No.6486

7ac82 No.6494

7ac82 No.6523
>>6522So assuming none of the current sprites need any updates, we only need the last 9 as well as May's back sprite to make pregnant edits for. This is really coming together nicely.
7ac82 No.6528
I have another question for the OP. What software/tool do you use to implement these sprites into the game?
I want to see if I can also mess around with the text so I can attempt to include custom dialogue for these pregnant trainers. No guarantee I'll actually be able to edit the dialogue but it wouldn't hurt to try.
9f413 No.6557
>>6316Hey, that's my sprite! Cool.
I was thinking of offering to help with this, but my motivation to do… anything really has been in the pits.
>>6483Glad the sprite gave you some inspiration. Good luck with the project!
While I'm here, here's a few more sprites I did. Feel free to use them for inspiration, or edit them to fit your needs.
7ac82 No.6559
>>6557The Flannery might be able to be used but I believe it has to be a 64x64 in size so we might have to adjust it a bit but I'll wait to see what the others say.
That Tuber is from FRLG which there is a chance that game could be done after this depending on what the others want so we will definitely save this in the event we do a FRLG version as well.
I honestly don't recognize the third one but it still looks good.
The back sprite of Hilda looks great but idk if we will even be able to do Gen 5 but I guess I'll save it if we do it someday.
>>6558This is a very nice sprite gif and thank you for sharing :)
Also do you have anything else saved from the old thread? Just in case we can use it for the project
9f413 No.6599
>>6559Nothing useable for this project. Just some random sprite edits, the witch is actually a friends character who I made a sprite edit for. Posted it more for inspiration really, same with the tuber and Hilda. I do have some more sprites to share if you'd like, but none that will be useable in a traditional R/S/E game.
But making it a 64x64 was easy so I went ahead and did that for you.

So uh, I decided to edit the sprites of some of the major Gen 3 Pokémon (i.e. the starters' final stages, Gardevoir and the cover legendaries) as a sort of proof of concept for having preg Pokémon here.
I know OP said that the hack will only be changing the trainers (which I only remembered and saw after the fact), but I already put in way too much time and effort into these, so it'd kinda be a waste not to show here.
I don't really mind or care if these don't get used, figure I'd at least show them off if nothing else. As another has said for OP, take all the time you need for the rom hack, pretty sure we're all wiling to wait for it, it is a side project as you have said, so best to not burn yourself out or stress over it too much, just best of luck on it in any case really.

But again that is only my personal opinion but you did a good job with the pixel art.
The female only pokemon as of Gen 3 are the Nidoqueen line, Chansey & Blissey, Kangaskhan, Smoochum & Jynx, Miltank, Illumise, and Latias.

c6ff3 No.6938
>>6934Glad you liked my work there, I appreciate it. I took quite awhile with these so it's reassuring to know they came out alright.
I respect your view there and I can understand where you're coming from. My kind of reasoning for picking these were mons specifically to do for the time being were;
- The starters are of course the first you'll be using and most likely viewing, so it's sort of reasonable to have them preg for the viewing pleasure at least.
- The legendaries I figured just made sense seeing as it is called Pregnant Emerald after all, so having Hoenn's main legendaries pregged up is fitting for it in my view.
- Gardevoir of course was just obvious to do. XD
But yeah I can totally understand your view of just having Gardevoir and other female only Pokémon be the ones edited, as it would make sense, but ya know, to each their own like they say.
I don't entirely know yet if I'll go edit some more sprites, like some of the Pokémon you've mentioned and/or the starters' middle stages among others, it's ultimately up to OP whether stuff like this gets put in or not, so we'll see on that I suppose.
(For those wondering, I got the sprites from
https://www.dragonflycave.com/resources/sprite-generator, I realize spriter's resource might have been more convenient to get them from, but anyway, just in case anyone else is interested in these edits…)
2666b No.6939
>>6937I guess that's fair. I will save those edits just in case you decide to take this project farther once your done with the female trainer sprites. Again take your time :)
2666b No.6941
>>6938Gender differences did not exist in Gen 3 but if we were doing a Gen 4 game then we technically could make preg edits for every pokemon and make it just part of the female gender differences.
c6ff3 No.6942
>>6941True there, would probably be easier then having to backport gender differences into the Gen 3 engine solely for the sake of pregnancy fetish, but hey, probably best we wait till Pregnant Emerald's all finished up before we begin planning for "Pregnant Platinum" if that ever goes through.

And here we go, Expectant Emerald 0.3.
https://mega.nz/folder/KMolnIDB#zGsRbGz2_rnZzNseQjQi0ghttps://pastebin.com/m5kbwR6H ← Worklog here
All female trainer sprites have been swapped for pregnant variants. No other changes have yet been implemented, but I would like to learn how to edit text and change pretty much all of the dialogue I can.
Backsprites are not currently pregnant, the spritesheet for them posted higher up in the thread doesn't have the full forward throw and is weirdly segmented. I've attached the .bmp's for the back sprite frames in the mega link, but I have nowhere near the artistic skill to edit them. If someone does, I should be able to implement them without too much hassle.
The worklog and sprite pointers spreadsheet in the links should allow anyone with some patience to repeat my work, if it's ever necessary. The spreadsheet in particular will be necessary if you want to update sprites without re-entering everything from scratch.
I think I can get some pregnant pokemon sprites working as well, but I've been slogging at this for 12 hours straight, so I'm taking a break for a bit. Hopefully someone enjoys this version as-is.
