Pokémon Silver (JP) (GBC)
-
Recreation of the pixel font from the original Japanese version of Nintendo/Game Freak/Creatures' "Pokémon Silver" (aka "Pocket Monsters Silver", 1999) on the Game Boy Color.
This font is very similar to the one used in "Pokémon Red", but it includes fewer latin characters, and the Katakana Letter Yu "ユ" (U+30E6) and Katakana Letter Ro "ロ" (U+30ED) are subtly different, shifted vertically by one pixel to align their baseline with the other katakana characters.
The tile set includes an incomplete set of latin characters. The arrows are mapped to "Black Up-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B2), "Black Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B6), "White Right-Pointing Triangle" (U+25B7), "Black Down-Pointing Triangle" (U+25BC), and "Black Left-Pointing Triangle" (U+25C0). The Japanese Yen "円" character is mapped both to the generic Yen (U+00A5) and the correct CJK unified idiograph (U+5186).
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Lastly, this recreation also includes box drawing characters (U+2554, U+2550, U+2557, U+2551, U+255D, U+255A).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

I think you can do a recreation of the pixel font from SNK's "Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy" next.
@SuperM2229 while I appreciate suggestions ... I choose what and when to do it :)
@Azoriad captain obvious has logged in...
Something is very wrong with commenters lately. Haven’t seen a surge of tone-deaf comments this massive in a long-long time… That being said, I haven’t logged on for a long time, too.
I'm with @Cookielord. It's sad, from my point of view.
Yup, the blister exists for quite a while by now. Sometimes there is this surge of these ultra bright minded Einsteins for a while..
Too bad, since I'm quite allergic for this phenomenon 😷
@Cookielord: I received the same comments and the automatic email in my mailbox. After checking their profile, I found they had new accounts set up shortly before the comments. I've long suspected that they are the same attention-seeking people who turn up repeatedly and pollute our semantic space with their nonsense. As members, they have pathetic creative output, showing signs of brain damage (e.g., Azoriad).
I don’t know the inner workings of FS comment system, but I wonder if it‘d beneficial to have a way to self-moderate comments under one’s own FontStructions or at least hide them so that they won’t pollute the comment section and maybe the live feed. I realise there probably aren’t many people in the FS staff to deal with massive amounts of comments themselves, which is why I am thinking in this “self-moderation” vector. Maybe the codebase for comments at this point is just not ready for this kind of decentralised tools? Could be the reason why it‘s not implemented yet.
Anyway, I am extremely happy that FontStruct manages to keep on growing, with more and more users trying it out, creating stuff and engaging with the community, but I am sad that this brings in new challenges for both the staff and other ordinary users.
I would also speculate that there is a particular age at which one becomes interested with fonts, and that the age in question might be a little low for productive (or sometimes at least mutually respectful) discussion. I don‘t mean this as an offence, rather as an explanation that I think of whenever I see such comments. Seems to me that younger people are interested in type, but aren‘t ready to participate in discussions unmoderated. :(
