Nobody reads these anyways so here's how I make/verify G/S/C BACKsprites.

I'm using Script-Fu (GIMP) to crop and transparentize, Visual Boy Advance screenshots (I say it isn't illegal because I own all Gen I and II game carts), and Python to compare images.

The longest part is sitting here with GameShark codes and 3 VBA emulators (G, S, C) and modifying the species, switching the Pkmn out and taking screenshots every turn... 251 times x 2 for shinies (even though I've determined so far that G/S are almost always the same and G/S/C shiny are almost always the same, but I've found a couple exceptions!). Here are my notes:
