To do: Clean-up intro a bit. Some model Renders, we really need these. Proto "Elio" has animations.

On October 12th 2024 Game Freak fell victim to a hack leaking content from several Pokémon games. Not much content from the 7th Generation was found but one of the first files shared included a Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon git repo from September 8th 2017.

momiji_git_program\git_program\poke_3d_lib\model\Sample\res contains a Blue Pikachu model used for testing.

Test Images

MapImage.tga is a texture featuring an upside-down drawing of a simple house and tree. There is also a greyed-out version located in momiji_git_program\git_program\tool_project\SimpleViewer\SimpleViewer\data\IDEdgeMap\exports\Texture.

FrameBufferImage.tga, a test screenshot from Pokémon X & Y showcasing a Pikachu battling a upside down Chandelure. A corrected version of this image would be found in Pokémon Sword & Shield. This path also contains the Pikachu and Chandelure screenshot but with Pikachu's diffuse map visible under the name EdgeMapImage.tga.

Another version of EdgeMapImage located in momiji_git_program\git_program\tool_project\SimpleViewer\SimpleViewer\data\EdgeMap\exports\Texture. This time Pikachu and Chandelure are greyed out and the background is completely black.

Symbols
