Originally had a very different design as a girl with brown hair and a red shirt with a green skirt. Was then completely redesigned to have a different hair style and color, while slightly changing the color of her clothes. This early design would seemingly be repurposed and tweaked for the female School Kid NPC. Final design comes after a revision to the previous early design that gives another different hair style with much darker colors. The second scratchpad has its alternate unused palette merged into it for the extra sprites below the used ones for ease of viewing, however, the palette doesn't seem to fully match the sprites.

Includes an early battle sprite of the Lass trainer class. The battle sprite used an alternate unused palette that has been merged into the pad for ease of viewing. The same scratchpad also has a sprite leftover from the early pigtail girl NPC design, however, it's not an exact match to the previous showings of the sprite! The dress she wears in the sprite differs from the dress of the previous appearances of the sprite, suggesting that could've been used as a design for the NPC at one point, or was being used as a base for the final sprites.

Second-to-last revision adds a white line along the bottom of the dress, equivalent to the one her battle sprite got. The trainer sprite in the scratchpad was not updated with this change, however.

Design didn't change all that much. Rather, he changed the color of his clothes numberous times. From purple to pink to blue to yellow to green. His design with the pink shirt and dark blue hair would be used as a placeholder for many, many other NPCs in the game during development. After this pink-shirted design, his hair style changed slightly, and was changed to be brown-colored instead of dark blue. Sprites were redrawn for the green-shirted design. The second-to-last scratchpad has its alternate unused palette merged into the pad for ease of viewing the extra sprites provided in it.

Was originally dark-blonde with a pink shirt. Some earlier sprites of the purple-shirted design can be seen at the bottom of the scratchpads. In terms of revisions for the purple design, it's only a very slight shading change on the hair in some frames.

Originally appeared as a brown-haired girl of the second early design of the woman NPC mentioned above, then switched over to a more finalized design in the next revision. This design has blonde hair, a light-purple shirt, and blue pants and shoes. She then had this design tweaked to wear a hot-pink shirt and matching shoes, as well as gaining two long strands of hair on her sides while making her ponytail much smaller. The sprites for this design were redrawn in the next revision, and the final version makes her ponytail very slightly smaller in her sideways sprites.

First placeholder sprites were from a middle-aged woman NPC from Gen 3, oddly enough. She then switched over to a green-clothed design before getting her final design later on. The green-clothed design would be repurposed for the other middle-aged woman NPC in the game.

Originally had a completely different design, being hunched over, having receeding hair instead of being completely bald, wearing a green shirt and white pants, and being much larger overall. The revision to this early design gives him brown pants instead. The next version is the final design, but a couple changes were made to his mustache and the perspective on the back of his head.

Originally had a different design with green clothes and brown hair. Was accidentally switched to boy placeholder sprites for a second at one point. Her final colors were introduced before her sprites were; the sprites were redrawn in late December, which also slightly changed the color of her pants from grey to brown.

First design has her with a slightly different hair color and style, matching her early battle sprite at the time. After the final design is introduced, a revision was made to some of her sideways sprites to make them identical to the other set of sideways sprites...even though her design isn't symmetrical.

Includes an early battle sprite of the male Backpacker trainer class. The battle sprite used an alternate unused palette that has been merged into the pad for ease of viewing. Backpack was redesigned twice. Aside from that, only very minor tweaks were made to the sprites.

Backpack was also redesigned twice, not including the early walking sprite below the used ones in the first proper scratchpad that has another slightly earlier backpack design.

His first design didn't have him carrying his briefcase with him, although a single unused sprite does exist in that scratchpad of him carrying it, suggesting it was planned or at least tested out at the time. At one point all of his sprites are redrawn to give him a slightly different face, make him slightly taller, and change his tie color from red to blue. Final version tweaks his face very slightly on the front-facing sprites.

Earliest design, which was used by Looker and was never actually used by the accordion man's files, has balding hair, different color glasses, and a different motion to his playing of the instrument. First scratchpad shows some early sprites of the final design's motion when playing at the bottom right, showing him moving his feet. All early designs originally had sprites for facing in all directions, instead of just forward. The back-facing sprites were actually given a motion before they were cut.

Includes an early battle sprite of the Dancer trainer class. The battle sprite used an alternate unused palette that has been merged into the pad for ease of viewing. The dancer had his moves adjusted a few times, completely changing them for the final. A couple early (and slightly broken) walking sprites can be seen in the pads. As for details, the way his hair is drawn was changed a couple times.

The umbrella lady received quite a few revisions. Her first proper scratchpad shows her without her umbrella except for one sprite which has an incredibly rough umbrella sprite made, appearing very flat in comparion to all later versions, which she holds with both hands instead of just one. First few revisions would tweak the positioning and angle of the umbrella, and then some details on it. Final changes the color to a more pure pink.

First version of him has completely differently-colored hair, mostly matching his early battle sprites. Also included are sprites that give him bright purple hair, but it's unknown if this is their intended appearance. It's likely that they're leftover from the design of his earliest battle sprite, which had him with light-colored skin and more purple hair. The changes made to him line up exactly with the changes made to his battle sprite.

First design features water splashes and more detailed water around him. The splashes may have been removed for looking awkward when not in motion. The water shadow then changed color, and his arms were mostly hidden from his front-facing sprites.

The second scratchpad has its alternate unused palette merged into it for ease of viewing the extra sprites provided in it. The third scratchpad contains unique sprites that are only compatible with the previous version of the palette, so a version of it with said palette applied is provided so that the sprites can be viewed as intended. Originally had smoother and redder hair. Third scratchpad contains a unique sprite of this earlier design with more of his hair blowing around. Aside from that, only minor tweaks were made, alonside giving him longer pants and oddly cutting off the top of his hair in his sideways sprites.

So about the sunglasses guy...this guy, internally, is actually referred to as the sunglasses guy. His early design, which is radically different from the final game, was likely intended to be the sunglasses guy before the previous NPC above took his place, and then this NPC was regulated to just a common role instead. Final version corrects a couple pixels in his hair not being black in a couple frames.

Nurse Joy here went through quite a few revisions, and started out with a fairly basic-looking design that boasted more purple colors than pink. Her bowing frames would be tweaked a few times, some extra details added and polished, and then she'd get another color change to a more reddish-pink.

Was originally a green-haired recolor of the previous PC worker above. This design appeared in previous games. Ultimately, she was given brown hair and a different hair style instead.

Originally had lighter hair and a completely different hair style. First scratchpad of the final design contains some early sprites for her and one for the male version. Also contains two unused alternate palettes, one giving her green hair and a pink shirt, the other giving her outfit a more blue color scheme.

Started out as being a yellow reskin of the male informant NPC. Contains an unused alternate palette that lacks the shine shading on top of the box and makes his outfit a slightly darker shade of blue.
