About PokeTab - Pokemon in your 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! Credits: - Smogon Sprite Project for Generation VI - VIII sprites - kingofthe-x-roads@DeviantArt for Generation IX / Legends ZA Mega sprites - TheSonicGamerYT@DeviantArt for Mega Eelektross, Mega Golisopod and Mega Garchomp sprites - RetroNC@DeviantArt for Mega Eelektross, Mega Crabominable, Mega Lucario, Mega Golurk and Mega Tatsugiri sprites - kiriaura@DeviantArt for Mega Zeraora sprites - BZRich64@lakevalor for Pokemopolis Gengar, Pokemopolis Alakazam, Pokemopolis Jigglypuff, Pink Butterfree, Crystal Onix and Gold Sudowoodo sprites - MalShimada666 & Doggo@DeviantArt for Primal Dialga sprites - toxicoke@DeviantArt for Starmobile sprites - Pokemon Daybreak Wiki for Shadow Lugia sprite - Bulbapedia for Pokestar studio sprites Changelog: 1.3.1 - Updated UI, added a "Select All" button and a "Clear Selection" button, removed "Remove All" button - Fixed an issue with saved pokemon having their shiny status randomized after being loaded - Fixed spelling error with Vivillon shiny form names 1.3.0 Happy Easter 2026 everyone! - Fixed an bug with saved shiny data not being loaded.
