Shows pokemon sprites moving around the screen when opening a new tab
I love pixel art and the art of mainline pokemon games that use sprites. This extension is here to share my passion with others who feel the same way. Want to bring some fun to your new tabs by having pokemon sprites flying around them? Then try this!
After you have enjoyed watch your pocket monsters go, you can click anywhere on the screen to open up the options panel and tinker with more possibilities.
All pokemon up to and including Generation IX are supported!

- Usually don't leave reviews for much of anything but I feel compelled to review this So I am a Pokemon fan, lifelong, who likes small little novelties, so something like this? Fits the bill 100%. It doesn't do much, kind of effectively a customizable screensaver for your new tab, but I love it. Now, it does have its share of bugs and errors, including as of writing this (3/16) a rather large one where shinies don't save their shininess, which sucks but I do trust that will be fixed- plus, since there's a shiny charm now (and I tested it, it absolutely helps save time when hunting shinies), once it is fixed I'd say it won't take long to re-obtain those shinies. Of course, I feel bad for everyone who lost their old shinies after updating- I know for me it took a while to get almost a full box of them. I can't be mad though, considering it appears to be just the developer working on this when looking at the details here- one person can only do so much, I understand that. TL;DR: Fun novelty for your new tab!! Currently has its share of bugs, but I have full trust that it'll be patched.

- Kelsie Haric
- Super cute! I like that I can choose pokemon and store the collections. Editing my review to 3 stars because I the chrome shortcuts don't show in the new tabs with this theme. If that gets added, I'll make it 5 stars again!
