===== Update on Explorers of Alpha =====
//By Mond in the SkyTemple Discord server//
I've been silent about Alpha for a week, and that for 3 reasons:
- the bigger reason is that Pokemon Unbound 2.0 has been released a week ago. If you don't know, I'm also part of Unbound team as a team builder and as a tester. The last release has taken a lot of my time since my work has more impact on the community and I always want feedback on everything I do
- IRL has taken a big place in my life lately (Christmas mostly)
- the feature I've been preparing is mostly finished and is very big, as a result I need time to complete it, plus I need to write some code for it
Expect some updates soon™️, where soon stands as "new year update" prolly
===== Example of Ace Attorney gameplay in PMD =====

===== New Community Assets =====
==== Pokémon ====
Animated sprites in this section are animated PNG files. If animated sprites appear to be static images, make sure that your browser supports PNG animation. (Most modern browsers should display them just fine, though.)

==== Other Graphics ====
=== Sprite for Sans ===
//Shared by Piksidust in the SkyTemple Discord server. A previous version of the portraits where shown the previous week.//
Merry Christmas Eve!
Enjoy Sans funny bone man emotions, walking in a circle, and shrugging in a circle.
Here are the updated portraits with the color pallet I used for the sprite. I didn't change too much but they look a lot better now. Feel free to use them! If it's a public mod, make sure to credit me as Piksi!
