== Sorry about [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_b_4d_430.png that] ==<br />
For some reason the image wasn't appearing any differently to me but just now updated, sorry. [[User:AshKetchumNo.1|<span style="color:green">Ash</span><span style="color:red">Ketchum</span><span style="color:blue">No</span><span style="color:yellow">.1</span>]] 00:49, 2 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Animating HGSS back sprites isn't really a high priority at this time.

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />
:I hope that covers everything. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Jr Admin icon disappearance ==<br />
<br />
The Junior Admin icon isn't showing up on the recent changes next to the name of the Junior Admins even though it was in the coding. The icon is visible on the Bulbapedia side. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 04:56, 12 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY images ==<br />
Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with. I'm not autoconfirmed yet, but I understand that I should get permission from a member of staff before uploading XY images to the site. That being said, I'd like to ask your permission to do so (when the system allows me to upload images). I'm willing to provide proof of my capture board. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 02:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As you're aware, we do have to ask for proof of the capture device ownership. If you could provide a screenshot of a {{p|Bunnelby}} with your username as its nickname, we can then move onto granting permissions. Thank you for your interest in assisting with XY uploads. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 22:05, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures. [[User:Seantham|Seantham]] ([[User talk:Seantham|talk]]) 23:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As YouTube videos are "owned" by their uploader, images from such videos shouldn't be uploaded without the video uploader's approval. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 04:48, 13 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Hydro Pump move ==<br />
<br />
According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I'll have a talk with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, as he was the one who originally uploaded it as Water Gun. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 16:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
::After talking with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, we're going to wait until ORAS releases to be sure that the move shown is going to be Hydro Pump or not. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

::::The only thing I did to the original video was trim its length. As far as I know, I didn't lower the quality.

:::::Are you able to record both screens and not just the top screen? If so, I'd like you to try and record the teleporting animation again, please.

::::::Ah, it turns out that when I recorded the video, the capture software was using a codec to compress it a little.

:::::::It looks a bit better than before, but it still has some artifacts. Can you try recording both screens? We're trying to aim for a 360p video in here, that might help with the quality.

::::::::I don't understand why you're aiming for 360p. The top screen is 240 pixels tall, and the site does not artificially enlarge move animations from other gens purely to achieve a benchmark.

:::::::::Yes, that's more like it, although I want to see it better in a faster computer (The one I'm currently using is basically a stone). The 360p quality thing was to see if that would improve the video quality, but apparently, you solved it. What was the issue with the video codec? Also, try creating the PNG file and we'll be able to see if we can use it or not.

::::::::::I was using a lossy codec before, and so I downloaded a lossless one (Lagarith). Unfortunately, the optimised APNG is now 8.19 MB.

It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped. If so, I apologize for removing the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template. [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 04:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I've modified the messages to be more inclusive of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Cropping shouldn't really be used as a method to remove a station logo, a logoless version of the full screenshot is the proper replacement method. So, I've restored the notice with new replacement rationale. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 02:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)<br />

==Artwork==<br />
<br />
Hey Kogoro, i have a couple of Pokémon artworks i want to update for the site and most of them are from Generation 5. They are also 1280x1280 pixels. [[User:Moonboy65|Moonboy65]] ([[User talk:Moonboy65|talk]]) 22:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC)<br />

==Devon Scuba Gear sprite==<br />
Sorry to bother you with this, but can we use the sprites from Serebii.net? I found the sprite there, but am I allowed to use it here? Sorry, I am pretty new...--[[User:EVguru|EVguru]] ([[User talk:EVguru|talk]]) 18:25, 19 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:No, we do not allow the upload of images from serebii.net on the Bulbagarden Archives. Additionally, please make new sections at the bottom of a talk page rather than the top. Thank you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 02:54, 30 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== ORAS item icons ==<br />
<br />
For items like the {{bp|Colored orbs}}, who got new sprites in ORAS, shouldn't the ORAS sprites get uploaded over the [[:File:Bag Red Orb Sprite.png|main image]]? After all, when the HGSS sprites were uploaded, they relegated the [[:File:Bag Red Orb III Sprite.png|Generation III sprite]] to a name with a suffix. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:When an existing image is uploaded over, it takes quite some time for the CDN to update the image on Bulbapedia. We've been moving away from such filename formatting for items in favor of generational/game-based filenames as to better keep their sprites current on Bulbapedia. Older item sprites will likely get a similar treatment eventually, with the old filename format redirecting if needed. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 04:18, 3 January 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Amie decorations ==<br />
<br />
Did or do you have any ideas on how the Pokemon-Amie {{bp|List of Pokémon-Amie decorations|decorations}} should be uploaded? There are over 150 of them, and a number of wallpapers too. Should I make a new template (if so, do I need approval first?), do without, or perhaps use {{template|Decoration}} (perhaps it should be modified for explicit Amie support?)? Should they go in a particular category? And are filenames like ''"Pokemon-Amie Dangerous Smoke Cushion Sprite.png''" or "''Pokemon-Amie Dragon Wallpaper.png''" good (maybe just "Amie[...]")?

== Image upload ==<br />
<br />
I have an image of {{bp|Umbreon and Espeon (Gates to Infinity)}} from the game animation that was uploaded by nintendo on youtube.

== Apology ==<br />
<br />
Sorry for the mishap about Luxio's VA. I wasn't trying to cause trouble or bother anyone really, I was curious. I thought Luxio was voiced as Sarah, but one of the Admins said its not. The only reason I was asking people is because I thought one of them know who voiced who. And I wanted to know where all the the users keep finding VA for other Pokemon. So anyway again, sorry about everything.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]]) 18:35, 26 March 2015 (UTC) [[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]])<br />
:It's fine to be curious, and to want to help fill in missing info, but you can't go around asking every random staff member you come across or ignore direction from a staff member to stop doing something. If the info isn't present on the article, we simply don't know who voiced the character and haven't been able to get the information from our sources. If someone can find the info from a reliable source, they're welcome to add it (with attribution in the edit summary). - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 23:35, 29 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Question ==<br />
Is it possible for you to delete the archives account "[[user:ChickasaurusA|ChickasaurusA]]" with something like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge UserMerge]? I created that account in 2010 or earlier after not knowing that my existing Bulbapedia account would work and only made [[:File:ZZAZZ.png|one contribution]] using it. I am really sorry for having created more than one account without knowing it. Thanks. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 20:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)<br />
:We can't delete accounts, nor do we really have much use for an account merging extension.

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Animating HGSS back sprites isn't really a high priority at this time.

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />
:I hope that covers everything. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY images ==<br />
Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with. I'm not autoconfirmed yet, but I understand that I should get permission from a member of staff before uploading XY images to the site. That being said, I'd like to ask your permission to do so (when the system allows me to upload images). I'm willing to provide proof of my capture board. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 02:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As you're aware, we do have to ask for proof of the capture device ownership. If you could provide a screenshot of a {{p|Bunnelby}} with your username as its nickname, we can then move onto granting permissions.

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures. [[User:Seantham|Seantham]] ([[User talk:Seantham|talk]]) 23:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As YouTube videos are "owned" by their uploader, images from such videos shouldn't be uploaded without the video uploader's approval. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 04:48, 13 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Hydro Pump move ==<br />
<br />
According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I'll have a talk with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, as he was the one who originally uploaded it as Water Gun. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 16:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
::After talking with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, we're going to wait until ORAS releases to be sure that the move shown is going to be Hydro Pump or not. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

::::The only thing I did to the original video was trim its length. As far as I know, I didn't lower the quality.

:::::Are you able to record both screens and not just the top screen? If so, I'd like you to try and record the teleporting animation again, please.

::::::Ah, it turns out that when I recorded the video, the capture software was using a codec to compress it a little.

::::::::I don't understand why you're aiming for 360p. The top screen is 240 pixels tall, and the site does not artificially enlarge move animations from other gens purely to achieve a benchmark.

:::::::::Yes, that's more like it, although I want to see it better in a faster computer (The one I'm currently using is basically a stone). The 360p quality thing was to see if that would improve the video quality, but apparently, you solved it. What was the issue with the video codec? Also, try creating the PNG file and we'll be able to see if we can use it or not.

::::::::::I was using a lossy codec before, and so I downloaded a lossless one (Lagarith). Unfortunately, the optimised APNG is now 8.19 MB.

The picture for Ash and Pikachu You don't like it with them in Kalos? I know you see the pic you see right now is from Unova.

<br />
I talked to SnorlaxMaster and he told me to bring this here, so here goes.<br />
<br />
I found sprites for the clothing tags in XY on Spriter's Resource and I was wondering if they're ok to be edited and uploaded here. [http://www.spriters-resource.com/3ds/pokemonxy/sheet/62613/ Link.] Also, as a side thing, I don't have a good editing program (only MSPaint), so is there anyone on this site who can do the editing instead?

== Upload Message and Cropping ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I've got two quick things. First, on the archives the messages <small>"ATTENTION!: Before uploading files related to Pokémon X and Y, read this message."</small> and <small>"Before uploading any images related to Pokémon X and Y, please take a moment to read this message."</small> are displayed. It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped.

:I've modified the messages to be more inclusive of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />

Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with.

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures.

According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

First, on the archives the messages <small>"ATTENTION!: Before uploading files related to Pokémon X and Y, read this message."</small> and <small>"Before uploading any images related to Pokémon X and Y, please take a moment to read this message."</small> are displayed. It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped.

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />
:I hope that covers everything.

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures. [[User:Seantham|Seantham]] ([[User talk:Seantham|talk]]) 23:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Hydro Pump move ==<br />
<br />
According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I'll have a talk with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, as he was the one who originally uploaded it as Water Gun. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 16:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
::After talking with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, we're going to wait until ORAS releases to be sure that the move shown is going to be Hydro Pump or not. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

::::The only thing I did to the original video was trim its length. As far as I know, I didn't lower the quality.

::::::::I don't understand why you're aiming for 360p. The top screen is 240 pixels tall, and the site does not artificially enlarge move animations from other gens purely to achieve a benchmark.

:::::::::Yes, that's more like it, although I want to see it better in a faster computer (The one I'm currently using is basically a stone). The 360p quality thing was to see if that would improve the video quality, but apparently, you solved it. What was the issue with the video codec? Also, try creating the PNG file and we'll be able to see if we can use it or not.

::::::::::I was using a lossy codec before, and so I downloaded a lossless one (Lagarith). Unfortunately, the optimised APNG is now 8.19 MB.

It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped.

Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite).

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />

Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with. I'm not autoconfirmed yet, but I understand that I should get permission from a member of staff before uploading XY images to the site.

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures. [[User:Seantham|Seantham]] ([[User talk:Seantham|talk]]) 23:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Hydro Pump move ==<br />

According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I'll have a talk with SnorlaxMonster regarding the image, as he was the one who originally uploaded it as Water Gun. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 16:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== ORAS item icons ==<br />
<br />
For items like the {{bp|Colored orbs}}, who got new sprites in ORAS, shouldn't the ORAS sprites get uploaded over the [[:File:Bag Red Orb Sprite.png|main image]]? After all, when the HGSS sprites were uploaded, they relegated the [[:File:Bag Red Orb III Sprite.png|Generation III sprite]] to a name with a suffix. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:When an existing image is uploaded over, it takes quite some time for the CDN to update the image on Bulbapedia. We've been moving away from such filename formatting for items in favor of generational/game-based filenames as to better keep their sprites current on Bulbapedia. Older item sprites will likely get a similar treatment eventually, with the old filename format redirecting if needed. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 04:18, 3 January 2015 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Did or do you have any ideas on how the Pokemon-Amie {{bp|List of Pokémon-Amie decorations|decorations}} should be uploaded? There are over 150 of them, and a number of wallpapers too. Should I make a new template (if so, do I need approval first?), do without, or perhaps use {{template|Decoration}} (perhaps it should be modified for explicit Amie support?)? Should they go in a particular category? And are filenames like ''"Pokemon-Amie Dangerous Smoke Cushion Sprite.png''" or "''Pokemon-Amie Dragon Wallpaper.png''" good (maybe just "Amie[...]")?

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />
:I hope that covers everything.

== XY images ==<br />
Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with. I'm not autoconfirmed yet, but I understand that I should get permission from a member of staff before uploading XY images to the site. That being said, I'd like to ask your permission to do so (when the system allows me to upload images). I'm willing to provide proof of my capture board. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 02:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures. [[User:Seantham|Seantham]] ([[User talk:Seantham|talk]]) 23:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Hydro Pump move ==<br />

According to TotalPotato, we had ORAS Hydro Pump for [[:File:Water Gun.png|Water Gun]]. It seems to be different from what was uploaded for the [[:File:Hydro Pump.png|XY one]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

The picture for Ash and Pikachu You don't like it with them in Kalos? I know you see the pic you see right now is from Unova.

== Upload Message and Cropping ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I've got two quick things. First, on the archives the messages <small>"ATTENTION!: Before uploading files related to Pokémon X and Y, read this message."</small> and <small>"Before uploading any images related to Pokémon X and Y, please take a moment to read this message."</small> are displayed. It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped. If so, I apologize for removing the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template. [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 04:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I've modified the messages to be more inclusive of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />

Hi, I have a 3DS capture board, and I'd like to upload some images to the archives. I was thinking of uploading some images of moves to begin with.

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures.

:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />

First, on the archives the messages <small>"ATTENTION!: Before uploading files related to Pokémon X and Y, read this message."</small> and <small>"Before uploading any images related to Pokémon X and Y, please take a moment to read this message."</small> are displayed. It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]]. While these two images have not lost anything important, I'm unsure if a replacement would still be needed for them due to being cropped. If so, I apologize for removing the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template. [[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 04:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I've modified the messages to be more inclusive of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

== HGSS back sprites ==<br />
<br />
Technically, we can animate them, since if your leading Pokémon is out of its Poké Ball (which is almost all the time; it rarely returns to its Poké Ball), it simply appears from the edge of screen and the animation is normally played (while Poké Balls "color" the sprite). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=6m45s Visible] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xFIQTe0Qus&t=11m45s here].[[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Sugimori art concerns ==<br />
<br />
I left this on Archaic's page before I realized that this belongs on yours more, but i'm still not sure if you are the right person to go to, since this applies to bulbapedia in addition to the archives, but staff page says the council you are in "define Bulbagaden Archives policy and style", so... yeah. Sorry for asking both of you, I previously was asked to not do that because it requires all parties to get together, but I really think you could probably answer better then archaic.<br />
<br />
I have some concerns/questions regarding the polciy of the site with sugimori artwork, and hosted files in general. Apparently, at some point, it was decided that all images could not exceed 1000x1000 pixels, and I was wondering what the logic of that was. The older, higher res versions of files are still available via file history, so server concerns cannot be the issue at hand.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, a great deal of the sugimori art is miscolored, and requires color correction.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I am troubled by the fact that http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:495Snivy.png , http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:498Tepig.png and http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:501Oshawott.png , which currently shows their BW2 art, is the same file that had their BW art, and the file was just updated with the totally distinct piece of artwork. New files should have been uploaded, and I don't see why only the BW2 art is used in the infobxes, vs. rotating betweeen it and the BW art.<br />
<br />
If you could respond to any of this, I would really appreciate that [[User:Jabberwockxeno|Jabberwockxeno]] ([[User talk:Jabberwockxeno|talk]]) 02:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As I am currently both the Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief and the head of the Bulbagarden Archives, I am certainly the correct person to go to.<br />
<br />
:Current policy dictates a general file dimension limit of 1280×1280 pixels, this is in place for multiple reasons including (but not limited to); managing reasonable file sizes, reducing server load from exceptionally large images, and to try and be somewhat respective of {{wp|fair use}}.<br />
<br />
:Files uploaded in the last couple of years should not have incorrect coloration in any way, as they have come directly from Nintendo press releases & other official sources. Older images may have color issues, however.<br />
<br />
:As for file names, the default files "###Name.png" is always the most recent artwork, while past artwork is transferred to a different filename: [[:File:495Snivy BW.png|Snivy]], [[:File:498Tepig BW.png|Tepig]], [[:File:501Oshawott BW.png|Oshawott]]. The species infobox exclusively uses the most recent artwork as unnecessary use of switch/if parser statements negatively impact the server. Each species article contains two links directing to their Archives category, one directly underneath the artwork in the infobox, and another underneath the sprite box.<br />
<br />

== XY move screenshots ==<br />
Hello. I have recently acquired screen capture quality images of moves from XY. These images, however, are not from my own capture device, as I don't have one, nor were they taken from a Pokémon fansite. They are from YouTube videos that use this device. I was contacted by [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] after I uploaded one of those pictures, but he was unsure of the legality of this method, so I would like to know whether or not I should get rid of all the pictures.

:::I have two reasons for believing that the move was Hydro Pump rather than Water Gun. In the video trailer from which the screenshot was taken, the move sounded very similar to how Hydro Pump sounds in X/Y. Also, the video showed Treecko using Energy Ball and Torchic using Flamethrower, both of which are the starters' final level-up moves. Mudkip using Hydro Pump would follow this pattern. It's not conclusive, but I'm convinced that the move shown in the video has to be Hydro Pump. --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 01:21, 24 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== XY Sprite size ==<br />
<br />
While I realize that the expansive size of the XY sprites being uploaded is due to [[:File:Spr 6x 382.png|huge Pokémon such as Kyogre]], most XY sprites have a load of blank space that makes resizing them unwieldy. At 100px, characters such as Pikachu are hardly noticeable. Keeping them at normal size, on the other hand, {{bp|List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Minato Mirai Pikachu|stretch out templates}} more than they are designed to handle. Are there plans to use the XY sprites outside of the (Pokémon) pages? - [[Bp:User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 13:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)<br />
:That template is going to be replaced for Gen VI events, so there's no need to worry there. As for using the models outside the species pages, that's currently undecided. The models, thanks to wide & tall models like Kyogre & Rayqyaza, aren't really going to work well for much more than reference material. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

== Teleport outside of battle in XY ==<br />
<br />
A still image of Teleport used outside of battle in XY doesn't really show anything, so I've attempted to make an animated PNG of the move. I managed to get the file size down to 2.21 MB, but I have a concern. Most XY move images on the main site are compressed from 400x240 to 300x180 px so not to stretch the infobox, but I haven't been also to resize the png without making the file larger (I think it came out at over 4 MB when I tried it), and I believe I read somewhere that if an animated png is resized on the site, it no longer shows as an animated image.<br />
<br />
Basically, I'm not sure whether or not the APNG is suitable. Here it is for your consideration: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/w9bq1w3bghcll6l/Teleport%20OW.png?dl=0 Teleport OW] --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 18:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

::::The only thing I did to the original video was trim its length. As far as I know, I didn't lower the quality.

::::::::I don't understand why you're aiming for 360p. The top screen is 240 pixels tall, and the site does not artificially enlarge move animations from other gens purely to achieve a benchmark.

:::::::::Yes, that's more like it, although I want to see it better in a faster computer (The one I'm currently using is basically a stone). The 360p quality thing was to see if that would improve the video quality, but apparently, you solved it. What was the issue with the video codec? Also, try creating the PNG file and we'll be able to see if we can use it or not.

::::::::::I was using a lossy codec before, and so I downloaded a lossless one (Lagarith). Unfortunately, the optimised APNG is now 8.19 MB.

It may be wise to update it replace "Pokémon X and Y" with "Generation 6" or some other method of including ORAS.<br><br />
Second, I have cropped two images that were tagged with the <nowiki>{{bad image}}</nowiki> template for having a logo: [[:File:M17 Riot unmasked.png]] and [[:File:M17 Riot Marilyn kiss.png]].
