LINE is (per their own website) "a communication app that connects people, services, and information. You can use it for free voice and video calls, stickers, emoji, themes, music, news, games, and more." Think of it as a messenging app like WhatsApp and Telegram. What does set it apart from the other apps is its sheer number of personalization options, from themes to sticker and emoji packs, many of which are officially licensed content!

Being a Japanese-based, it has a glut of anime and manga themes, including Pokémon, all of which are genuinely wonderful! I think it's a shame to leave these at risk of sudden removal from the LINE app, so I spent a good chunk of time to get the Ditto packs (that's right, there's more than one!) and the Ditto-specific stickers and converting them to a more usable format than apng (They also only animated once originally, so I edited the file to animate forever). I hope this can help spread these wonderful works of art, and if you join LINE, be sure to buy them!!

Incidentally, several of the LINE stickers have been reused as stickers in the Pokémon Go mobile game.

I will snag the emojis and add them later (Don't forget, me!!).

Ditto now has a sticker set all its own! Ditto is great at using Transform, but in this set, you can see it without any disguise, chilling and living its everyday life. You can use these stickers as emotes when chatting with friends!

Note: one of these is still an apng because gifs can't handle half-transparencies. I did still edit the file to animate forever though.
