	This tutorial will teach you how to add emissive textures to a Pokémon. Emissive textures are an additional layer of textures unaffected by light levels and give off the illusion of glowing in the dark. '''A premade model with textures is required. ~~This~~ is ~~because you have to make a new PNG which will be layered over the main texture~~.'''		This tutorial will teach you how to add emissive textures to a Pokémon. Emissive textures are an additional layer of textures unaffected by light levels and give off the illusion of glowing in the dark. '''A premade model with textures is required. Being familiar with [[Tutorials/Creating_A_Custom_Pokemon\|creating a custom pokemon]] and [[resolver]] files is recommended.'''
