Hello, everyone! I'm inexcusably late with this, I know, but you should now be able to use the forum's sprite BBCodes for Gen 7 Pokémon. First, you can use 'sm' as the sprite set to get the sprite from the 'unified' sprite set I created for the Favorite Pokémon Picker, with 128x128 sprites for every Pokémon (either half-size versions of the Alolan dex sprites or padded versions of the OR/AS dex sprites):

[sprite=sm]charizard[/sprite] [sprite=sm]butterfree[/sprite] [sprite=sm]type-null[/sprite] [sprite=sm]raichu-alola[/sprite]

becomes

charizard butterfree type-null raichu-alola

Secondly, you can use the 'sm-dex' set to get the full-size 256x256 Alolan dex sprite of the Pokémon, for a Pokémon that has one (others will get the regular, unchanged OR/AS dex sprite as a fallback):

[sprite=sm-dex]charizard[/sprite] [sprite=sm-dex]butterfree[/sprite] [sprite=sm-dex]type-null[/sprite] [sprite=sm-dex]raichu-alola[/sprite]

becomes

charizard butterfree type-null raichu-alola

Finally, the 'party' set has been updated to the Gen 7 icons:

[sprite=party]charizard[/sprite] [sprite=party]butterfree[/sprite] [sprite=party]type-null[/sprite] [sprite=party]raichu-alola[/sprite]

becomes

charizard butterfree type-null raichu-alola

Happy posting!
 
Huzzah, thank you Butterfree! :)

Is the case sensitivity still in effect? As in, lowercase names will work but capitalized ones will not?

cute little surfing Raichu wait why did we not get surfing Pikachu?!? Gamefreak! >:(

Yeah, they're still case sensitive. Might try to figure that out at some point, hrm.
