Yes there was in the episode 'The Ghost of Maiden's Peak'.
Ash sent out Squirtle and Bulbasaur against the talking Gastly
and the Gastly created an Illusion of their evolved forms Venusaur and Blastiose and and fused them together to make Venustoise. It was and illusion though not a real Pokemon.

Great to see someone's putting so much contribution into this project. I may as well help out with this by reposting my gradient shading tutorial, then.

Yes, PNG is PwNaGe, but GIF is Great for F(ph)otoshop

Because Photoshop gives you the ability to *gasp* give you different indexed versions of Gifs!

but most people don't have PS.

(Quick note, they gave photoshop out with the tablet I bought, so I technically got it for free!)

^There's also a technique in photoshop you can use called "Save For Web". You can select the best PNG option (png 128 dithered or something like that), and tick a transparency box. That way, you don't even need Iaza to transparentise your pic.
Not really a sprite-y thing, but it applies for photoshop users who want to transparentise a pic more easilly.

^saving a pic w/ transparent background as a PNG works fine for me. i've never had to use the save for web option

each to there own i guess

Blake also deserves a lot of credit for starting this up initially. It's great to see that Liam has took it on so it can expand and become very useful to the current and future spriting community.

If I ever get chance, I might write up a tutorial, probably for a pixel over, unless someone else would rather do it? I've got quite a bit on my plate at the moment so it probably will take me a while to do.

Never needed to do that. You can choose different backgrounds. Like transparent, white, etc.
