Make sure that when you upload cards, the set category also has the number in the next parameter at the end. Like so: Power Keepers 28 would be [[Category:EX Power Keepers|028]], but Base set charizard would be [[Category:Base Set|04]]. The amount of zeros shows how many cards is in the set, anything over 100 gets 3 digits of numbers, anything less gets only 2. Understand? Please remember to do this if you upload more in the future, since it is part of style. Maverick Nate 22:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Will do. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 04:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

pngs

I would highly prefer if you used jpgs. The pngs are extremely too bright and are of low quality, that is the reason we use jpgs for cards. If you could, try to use jpgs, okay. And don't upload anything between Hidden Legends and Unseen forces until after I do please. Maverick Nate 19:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Alrighty, I'll do my best to use JPGs, but I will definitely have to have them within the 400x600 (approx) size. I'm not sure as to why, but at about that size and at 100% quality, JPG versions will be at about 300-400KB. My original size, 800x1200 (approx) would have saved at 1.3MB at that same quality in JPG format. Since I am often on a Dial-Up Connection, the latter size is just a little too big (the 500KB PNGs taking 10min to upload) that was why I used the smaller PNG format.

The brightness of them shouldn't be from the file format. When I preview the images before saving, no matter what format I wish to use, they're almost identical the only difference I have noticed is very slight colour limitations. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 20:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

If it is that much of a problem for you, then use the pngs. I just like it when all the cards are in jpg so that instead of uploading a new card and editing the page in order to change it, you can upload a new version of a card and it becomes twice as easy to update poor images. Maverick Nate 21:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry

I kind of started working under you at the same time on the same set. But I wanted to get my Aquapolis collection done before you started yours. Sorry, but If we work together, we might fill in each other's gaps. Maverick Nate 02:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

No worries Mav, hopefully we can fill a large portion of the set! - Kogoro | Talk to me | 02:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Whenever you want, you can move into the EX era. I am at the tail end and am done with it all the way up to Holon Phantoms. Maverick Nate 03:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, my next project is actually Skyridge, but after that is the EX era ^_^ - Kogoro | Talk to me | 03:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I guess I can work behind you on Skyridge, unless I catch up, but I have other things I want to accomplish first. Maverick Nate 03:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd say accomplish what you want first, then gap-fill in Skyridge (I have a very weak set in Aquapolis & Skyridge) sound good? - Kogoro | Talk to me | 03:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that works. I also have a couple of the Japanese counterparts to Aquapolis and Skyridge, I can fill in gaps that way too. Maverick Nate 03:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Awesome! I'm done with what I can add to Aquapolis, so I am now moving onto Skyridge. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 03:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Huh?

Where does it say that? Ugh. . Whatever. -_- You delete all of them, for God's sake. (I don't know how. .) シンジ_ShinjiLover,Edits

RE: Spinda

I never uploaded any shiny Spinda.--Tavisource 02:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Um, yes you did Tavi. File:Spr 3r 327 s.png, uploaded by Tavisource at 00:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC), deleted by me at 08:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC). Could it have been a mistaken upload? The image was 80 x 80 pixels, and seems to have been a RS & FRLG non-shiny sprite. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 19:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

So, can you delete my ArticunoSI article

So, can you--Pokemonguy1 00:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Gone. — THE TROM — 00:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Image

In case you didn't see this on the 'news... Ok, I understand. I just now noticed that what Yahoo! Kids had wasn't a larger logo, just the original resized.--Mew a.k.a. Prmatt11 20:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Kogs can be seen anywhere.. She's watching you.. Kevzo8 02:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you restore some pics?

I uploaded PNG versions of the Sinnoh Frontier Brains but Nyoo deleted them calling them duplicate files. I was merely uploading higher quality version of them. Nyoo's versions are JPG. I would do it myself but I don't have admin powers on the archives. --Kenji-girl 06:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Done. I'm also giving you admin powers here. You're the leader of Project Anime, which makes you work with a lot of anime images, so you should have it. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 07:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks bunches!! --Kenji-girl 08:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

You were MERELY re-uploading my jpgs as png. They have no higher quality at all. And it's quite sneaky to complain on my talk page and then ask another admin to undo right after. --Nyoo 18:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, since I'm being ignored again, I'll list the reasons for the delete once again:

1. Kenji-girl took the existing jpgs and saved them as png, which is P O I N T L E S S.

2. As a result of 1., the claimed quality improvement here is not the case at all: comparison of both uploads

3. There is no reason to replace existing uploads by default, especially when they have no improvement at all (see 1.).

4. Since these are not anime screenshots for some special template, there appears to be no reason for the art being saved as png. If I am wrong about this, how about pointing it out this forum thread, because it doesn't seem like a resolved issue yet.

Furthermore, you, Kogoro, apparently didn't even check why the files were deleted and just undid another sysop's action without considering the reasons. Because of the three arguments above, I am going to delete these redundant files again and for the future, I wish to be not treated like a noob and ignored when I bring up uncomfortable arguments. I am sorry for probably coming across angry and rude, but it is very distressing to be treated like this. I don't do things for no reason, so don't act as if that was the case, please! --Nyoo 13:04, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

1. Not only did she turn them into PNG, she also made the backgrounds transparent. Check all information about an image before claiming that it was only converted.

2. The quality improvement, I assume was the transparent background. Take that up with Kenji-girl.

3. Transparency, that is an improvement. Allows the image to be used more actively on the Bulbawiki network.

4. I saw the thread back a long time ago, it's much more than just anime screenshots that should be PNG format.

5. Actually, I did check why they were deleted, and I chose your rationale of "duplicate image" was not sufficient. Re-deleting the images, is not acceptable. The images of the Sinnoh Frontier Brains should be PNGs, and there were changes to the images that make the images acceptable for keeping. If you feel you are being treated as a "noob" perhaps you should look at your actions, and wonder if they should have been done in the first place. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 19:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Golden Poliwhirl

I made a Black & White Golden Poliwhirl award sprite for Bulbapedia if you want it, but it still needs the shiny sparkle things and I'm not sure where to post it. You just tell me where so you don't have to do the work. --BeeBwakka 22:38, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Re:Link Templates

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to be more careful next time. --Chickasaurus 18:45, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

About the Moves (anime) category

What does it mean when an image on the list is out of order? For example, File:Harley Banette Frustration.png is before File:Baron Lickilicky Wrap.png and is after File:Bagon Zen Headbutt.png. The letter B went after H. Pattyman 05:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

It seems that the category is still ordering it via the Banette image's original filename (File:Banette Frustration.png). Alphabetically, Bagon comes before Banette, which comes before Baron. Not sure why it's still ordering via the original filename, though. We'll look into it. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 05:31, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

When the category gets removed and placed back, it follows the order of the current filename, as it was tried when the mva template was added in the images after they were moved. Pattyman 22:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

uploaded bad image

So, I tried to make this image transparent, but the png I uploaded is not up to par with the original jpg. should I have someone delete it, or just mark it as bad quality and leave it? Frankly, I'm not going to try it again... --Jdthebud 10:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

If the conversion from JPG to transparent PNG caused quality loss, I'd say we'd be better off keeping the original JPG. At least until someone else can either convert it without quality loss, or take a different transparent PNG picture with equal or better quality to the current JPG. Thanks for trying, though. Apologies for the late reply. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 09:52, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

The exclamation mark

In file names, are exclamation marks (!) allowed in them? I'm not sure if they are considered the non-alphanumeric characters. Pattyman 06:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Alphanumeric characters means A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. The "hyphen-minus" (often called a dash, "-" ) and underscores (the software's replacement for spaces "_" ) are also fine to use. Exclamation marks are URL safe, but keep them out of the file names for new images for the time being. If there are any files that already have exclamation marks in their names, drop a link to them here and I'll see if they should keep the exclamation mark or not. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 07:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

File:OK! CD.jpg and File:Thunder!TyranitarexConstructedDeck.jpg are two images with exclamation marks. Pattyman 17:20, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

The exclamation points there shouldn't be harming anything, nor do the images need them in their names... Eh, just leave them as they are for now. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 02:11, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Individual Move Categories?

Congratulations on your promotion, and merry Christmas! My request is, should moves have individual categories, like the Pokémon do? Some moves have a fair number of images (Hyper Beam), and it would be more helpful having all their anime, manga, game, etc. images in one place. It wouldnt be too hellish to implement, since a couple of edits to the move templates would automatically add the respective move category to almost every move image, and the only real work would be creating the categories. What do you think? XVuvuzela2010X 00:09, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

We're not going to start up any major projects until a little bit after the new year. So, at least for the time being, we're not going to do categories like that. I'll give you an updated answer when we're ready for new major projects. But for now, keep up with general work & the to-do list. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 02:11, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Game maps

Do you think there should be separate sets of game maps (similar to what we have for this) and have them named something like this: [location] [game] map.png? For example, Pallet Town HGSS map.png (if from HeartGold and SoulSilver) or Pallet Town GSC map.png (if from Gold, Silver and Crystal). There's not that many game maps on here currently and a majority of them are gifs, so I don't think it is a problem. Pattyman 23:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean overworld maps, or the mini-maps from the Town Map/Pokégear/PokéNav? Overworld maps; we're already working on a few things related to those. Mini-maps; I don't really see any reason to have those from earlier generations. (Other than the base map for display of how the Town Maps looked between generations/games) - Kogoro - Talk to me - 09:36, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The mini-maps from the three. Pattyman 16:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Something like this to be specific. Pattyman 21:45, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Game maps #2

Werdnae recommended me to talk to you about this. The town maps are actually supposed to be saved as gifs due to viewing on different browsers. Since some of those maps were saved as pngs, can we keep those pngs that are on the site? Pattyman 14:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to have a discussion with Werdnae, then I'll get back to you about this. For now, please refrain from doing anything with Town Map images. Thanks - Kogoro - Talk to me - 04:30, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Alright, after a discussion with Werdnae, a few decisions have been made:

1. Area-Highlighted Town Maps will be updated to png format, with the full-highlight frame as the native/first frame. This assures that all browsers will display the maps with the intended area highlighting.
2. Filenames for the Area-Highlighted Town Maps will be: File:[Region] [Location] Map.png. As an example: File:Unova Route 1 Map.png.
3. Area-Highlighted Unova Maps require a more vivid highlight. The current highlight are easy to lose on locations such as Challenger's Cave, likely due to the common Red/Green color blindness & the similar darkness level of both colors in current use. My preference would be to use pure red, Hex code #FF0000. I've done a few small tests with red replacing the current pink, the red highlight was much easier to notice when compared to the other small dots in green.

I hope this settles everything. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 04:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

D:

That... that's the wrong app. I was just about to tell you that when you moved it.Tempest370 13:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

I fixed the file as well as fixing the filename. No need to worry. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 13:20, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Area highlighted maps

Should the images from Category:Area highlighted maps be categorized also under the respective categories for regions? (i.e. Category:Hoenn maps, Category:Sinnoh maps, etc.)?

Currently most are not, but some are. If they should, then it is better to do it through the {{Regionmap}} template. (adding <includeonly>[[Category:{{{2}}} maps]]</includeonly> to its source). Ruxax 10:49, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd prefer the Town Maps not be put into those categories. I'd like to have those categories be used specifically on maps that are traversed by players via overworld sprites. After the png updates for the Town Maps are complete, we may work on some additional categorization through the template. One step at a time. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 11:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Generation II menu sprites

Went through all 251 Pokémon, and uploaded 37 sprites, even uploaded animated version of egg's sprite (for article). I am unsure of the name for this, and these two need to be moved, since the latter happens to not be unique, and the former... well I have no idea how to name it. Anyway, I have no idea for the new name of these. FF has glitchy sprite, FE has this (which looks like Lapras btw), while FC and 00 crash. Marked +-+-+ 11:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

It seems the Staryu/Starmie menu sprite was missing, so I've uploaded that one (could be a Crystal only sprite). As for renames, I'll look into them & shift them about in the next few days. For now, they're all uploaded & categorized. Not really worried about glitches since they have a tendency to draw on data that's not even meant to be a sprite. Great work on the Gen II MS, keep it up! :3 - Kogoro - Talk to me - 12:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I know I forgot about Staryu line (it's not exclusive to Crystal) >_> Also, getting closer to National Diploma in FRLG, 243 out of 386 (most missing are Hoenn Pokémon), so expect to get it uploaded this year. RS National Diploma on other hand... not sure, with luck I should get this year. Marked +-+-+ 13:06, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Errors

I know that I shouldn't ask you, but still. Could you delete the DP images from the Candidates for deletion category ? I need those to be deleted in order to upload a non-watermarked version, it's been past a day and no one deleted it (and yes I can't upload a new version over the old one since the watermark still won't go away). Thank you ! ----DJWolfy 14:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

The second uploads are appearing fine on the Archives for me. If the issue is on the Bulbapedia side, then it's just that the CDN hasn't updated the file yet. It's not instant. I don't see any reason to delete anything. Also, make sure that you create a new section for a new issue rather than tacking it on the end of an unrelated topic. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 15:22, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Uhm, I don't really understand what you meant by a new section. And anyway, two images still have their watermarks since I haven't uploaded a new version over them. The moment they are deleted I'll work on the watermarks. There is one without watermark which another user fixed it, that's fine and there's the other one. And that's that so far.----DJWolfy 15:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh wait, yes I see now, I forgot to make a new section. Sorry I was unattentive.----DJWolfy 15:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

You're obviously capable of uploading over existing images, as you've already done so a few times.

• File:DP191 Error.png seems to be having a thumbnail issue, but the full-size file is appearing fine. No real reason to entirely delete the file cause of a minor glitch. I can look into getting that fixed.
• File:DP191 Error 2.png has no watermark, there is no reason to delete it. It should, however, be replaced with a full-screenshot without a watermark rather than a cropped shot.
• File:DP191 Error 4.png is the only one still certainly watermarked. Just try uploading over it before slapping a delete tag on it.

If you're still seeing a watermark on the full-size versions of the ones you have changed; the issue is because of your browser cache, not the Archives. Like I said, I am not seeing a reason to delete these files other than to cover-up your mistake. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 15:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Whatever, I'll do as you say. And then I'll add the images to their respective pages, but again, if the watermark shows up I won't take it as my problem this time.----DJWolfy 15:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I wonder

While fixing redlinks, I saw many categories which have a lot of images under it and those categories were marked as redlinks (ex: Battle Theme Deck: Victini‏‎). Shouldn't there be made a category for those ?----DJWolfy 07:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Mystery Dungeon sprites

I'm planning on doing some of the Mystery Dungeon front sprites, but I'm a bit confused by what the canvas size should be. Should they be 32 x 32 (extended if the sprite won't fit into this) or 67 x 68?--Chalkwriter 17:23, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Kogoro?--Chalkwriter 20:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, been a bit busy. Generally 32×32px, increased only if required. File height and width should be kept even, so a file needing 71px of height should also be 71px wide. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 23:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Resolution Policy

What year was the Resolution Policy put into place? G50 03:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Policy was originally instated in June 2010 as 1080×1080px and updated in September 2010 to 1280×1280px. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 03:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. G50 04:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Enta BF manga

The png image of Enta in Battle Frontier has horrible quality. The jpg's quality is better. What should we do? Pattyman (talk) 02:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Never mind, Werdnae just uploaded a better one. Pattyman (talk) 12:22, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I asked him to do that. ^^ - Kogoro - Talk to me - 12:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

PM I guess. Pattyman (talk) 14:52, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Bulbanews Tags

So that I understand this correctly, Bulbanews tags are only used if Bulbanews is their only purpose for being uploaded to the Archives? G50 05:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Only if the file is specifically for Bulbanews use and is licensed as fair use. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 05:22, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. G50 05:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Gen. V moves

When will it be a good time to add the V in the 5th generation moves? So far, Meteor Mash's animation was confirmed to be the same in bw and b2w2 when I was watching the b2w2 trailer. Pattyman (talk) 20:31, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

The filenames File:Move.png are meant to always be the most recent version of the move's animation. If B2W2 has any different animations, the BW versions will be moved to applicable filenames to accommodate for a new upload. Same will be true for moves with the same animation through Generation V, they will not be moved until a Generation VI version is ready for upload. B2W2 versions of Freeze Shock and Ice Burn have been moved accordingly. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 22:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

B2W2 Sprites

I would like to ask to help out with the B2W2 Sprites. G50 09:53, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Which specific section of the B2W2 Pokémon sprites were you looking to work on? - Kogoro - Talk to me - 00:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

The back sprites. G50 01:56, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

How does Johto shiny back sprites sound to you? - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good. G50 02:28, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Before you start, can you please tell me the steps you plan to take? I'd like to make sure you've got everything down correctly. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

By steps, Do you mean like 1) check if the sprites are the same as Black and White, 2) If they are the same, then redirect instead of upload; if not, upload. 3) Categorize, 4) Tag. G50 02:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Those are pretty much the steps.

1. Compare BW and B2W2 back sprites. (Some compare all sprites first, others do them in groups)
2. Upload the unique B2W2 back sprites with proper summary and licensing.
3. Add new inclusion of {{backsprite}} for B2W2 to re-used BW back sprites.
4. Redirect the B2W2 filenames for the re-used BW back sprites.

And, that should cover everything. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 03:33, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay. G50 03:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

B2W2 sprites

Hi, I'm new here, but I have a ton of pics for B2W2. I'll be happy to work on any section. --Pyro (talk) 13:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I apologize, but I must respectfully decline your offer since you're far too new and unfamiliar to Bulbawiki policies. Perhaps during the next major release, when you have been around longer, are better familiarized with our policies, and have established yourself through your contributions. Again, I apologize. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 04:24, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

A couple of things.

1. You may have seen the message above your latest warning to me. Ariel has requested that I make custom shiny MS sprites for several event shinies, including the Ledgedndary beasts, which, according to Jo, were shot down by the higher-ups when she asked. I prepared the sprites as Ariel asked, but wanted to consult one of you guys before doing something rash again.
2. I was also asked by the new user Flare047872 to upload a HGSS version of the Mahogany Town shop that he had received permission to use. He mentioned that he couldn't upload it himself, and sure enough, when I looked him up on the Archives, he wasn't registered. Is this normal? If it's at all possible, I'd rather he uploaded it, since he was the one who asked in the first place. If not, I'll do it myself.

- Chosen of Mana 21:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

After a discussion with members of the AC, we've got some decisions:

1. CustomMS are only to be done for exceptionally special cases, upon approval of the senior staff. Unfortunately, none of these cases are considered exceptionally special and the normal MS sprites will have to suffice.
2. Biggest issue with the file here, we can't credit to DeviantArt accounts/pages. Since we're all about accuracy & authenticity of our information, crediting to an artistic community may result in questions regarding if the image is ripped from the games, an edit, or a custom image.
3. As for the user being without an Archives account, they may need to either attempt a manual login to the Archives using the same information as their Bulbapedia account. If that fails to work, they may need to use the account merger tool while logged into Bulbapedia. That should force the system to create their global account to allow them to login locally to the Archives.

Hopefully that handles everything, - Kogoro - Talk to me - 03:56, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Question Regarding Images from Serebii

Are images from Serebii allowed to be uploaded here? I don't think they are, but I just want to know so the conflict can be resolved for the Unova 2.png file. I already reverted it once since it is an image from Serebii. However the same user put the image back on. I know it is an image from Serebii since it is a custom image featuring the images from Black and White, instead of just the locations from Black 2 and White 2. If images from Serebii aren't allow (which I don't think they are and I am pretty sure that custom images aren't allowed either) I will let you take care of it, since I am not sure what to do and I don't want to start an edit war. Lady Ariel (talk) 14:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Images from Serebii are not allowed to be uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. While the upload at 20:51, August 2, 2012 (UTC) is certainly stolen, the second upload from 01:25, August 3, 2012 (UTC) does not appear to be the same image. It lacks locations like Route 10 and the original Victory Road. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 00:17, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Externalcredit

How does the externalcredit template work? Could be something to source images. The term sounds like extra credit. Pattyman (talk) 04:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

It's meant to be used when we come to agreements with other sites willing to allow us to use their images but have the requirement of additional credit back to their site for the image. As the template notes, it's only to be used for image providers approved by executive staff. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 08:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't flib go on there for the anime images (if that applies)? Pattyman (talk) 02:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I'll get back to you on that one. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 07:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

B2W2 back sprites

I noticed that the back sprites for Sneasel non-shiny and shiny for B2W2 and BW look slightly different in the eyes. I was wondering if you could check that there is indeed a difference. G50 05:55, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

There is a difference in the eyes of Sneasel's backsprites. Good catch. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 07:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to make sprites transparent. For Tyranitar shiny B2W2 back sprite and Houndour shiny B2W2 back sprite with GIMP. G50 07:57, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, since I use Photoshop, I don't happen to know the specifics used with GIMP for sprite transparency. I can, however, offer to do those few uploads. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 08:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Please do. G50 08:27, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Mystery Dungeon

Not sure if animate sprites so one file shows all 8 positions. Oh, and like if it wasn't enough, apparently Pokémon have another sprite for sleeping (probably one for each) Marked +-+-+ (talk) 13:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Mystery Dungeon Pokémon sprites should not be animated to display all 8 directions, nor should all 8 directions be uploaded as individual files. Same goes for the sleeping sprites, there is really no use for them. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 09:10, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Can I bother you again?

I whipped together another Conquest summary template, and I wanted to submit it to a higher-up for approval. Am I usually supposed to message one of you guys about this? - Chosen of Mana 02:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

You don't have to message, but it's certainly a good idea to do so. Messaging will generally get you the quickest response times since you're giving a clear note that you've completed the work put into the proposed template and want it to be reviewed. As for the template; it's looking quite good, go ahead with it. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:27, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

ThunderShock

I found two images of ThunderShock from FRLG. One of them is animated with dots all over and the other one is a still image that doesn't have the dots. Pattyman (talk) 00:02, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

File quality comes before animation. The animated file appears to have been a low-quality GIF file converted to APNG format, so it has been deleted. Additionally, the static file is at the proper file name. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 05:10, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Nice "animation". Marked +-+-+ (talk) 09:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Umm, what? It would be best if you elaborated on the problem. The image hasn't been animated since August 5th, so I'm not sure what you're commenting about. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 22:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to need your help

There are several Trainer sprites of Red and his rival in this category and some of those are unneeded. Can you find out which ones aren't needed? Pattyman (talk) 04:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
