Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Pokemaster97!

By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Before you jump in, take a look at these helpful tips: Uploaded images must meet several requirements. Please see the upload form and/or manual of style before you upload a new image. All images need categories and license tags. Save time and fill them out as you upload. There are many different licenses - be sure to pick the best fit. Use meaningful filenames. Make them descriptive so that searchers can find your images easily. Personal images are no longer allowed. Any personal images found will be deleted on sight. If you don't have any images to submit, you can still help out. If you have any more questions, see the FAQ or ask a staff member.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   Pokemaster97 00:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Regarding welcoming

Got scared for a moment? It's really nothing major, but just before you continue, I noticed that you welcomed users relatively often on Bulbapedia; in the Archives, we only welcome those that actually uploaded something. Just thought I'd like to let you know. Cheers, and welcome aboard. ^ht14 00:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Whew I thought I did something wrong already. I just put this on mine so I could have a reference for when I eventually upload images and such. Sorry XD. Pokemaster97 00:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

It's not an issue; I just thought I would want to point that out to you, that's all. Just remember to read the welcome page like you're supposed to. =) ^ht14 01:01, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Templates

Just like in Bulbpaedia, we do have {{p}} and many other similar templates, just thought I'd let you know that. ^ht14 20:24, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I don't frequent the archives as much as I do on Bulbapedia so I'm sorry for any mistakes (or fails I make). Thanks for letting me know about the templates, I'll keep it in mind. --Pokemaster97 20:27, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I'm just saying that the templates on Bulbapedia are basically the same here, albeit only a few on Bulbapedia are not used in the Archives. For more templates, see here. ^ht14 20:32, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh, one more thing. When you finish moving a file, if it was requested, don't forget to remove the move template from the summary. Thanks. ^ht14 22:19, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Must have forgot, sorry about that. --Pokemaster97 22:21, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Ash's Pikachu

Oh, give me a break. It's not lower quality, only his foot and part of his ear is cut off, and it's just plain cooler. But if its that important that it stay so uncool, have it your way. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 23:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Please go back and look at your image then look at the one I reverted to. The old one is far more crisp and clear than the one you uploaded. Also, cooler doesn't always mean better. We desire to have full body pictures for the infobox pictures of trainers Pokemon. Instead of edit warring with everyone who reverts you, you should make use of the talk pages. --Pokemaster97 00:00, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm further ahead of you than the apocalypse. I try using the talk pages all the time, but almost no one ever responds to the messages I send. Plus, lots of other images display Pokémon that have only parts of their body cut off. So is it really that much of a matter? I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 00:24, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Most of the images that have parts cut off is because there's isn't a better full body image to use. Why replace a perfectly good full body picture of Pikachu with one that has parts cut off? --Pokemaster97 00:54, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

1. Because it's more recent.

2. Because it looks better.

3. Because it being better and newer with a little bit cut off is worth way more than it being worse and older with nothing cut off.

4. Because Pikachu is the mascot of the Pokémon series, and it should have an image with an enhancing background.

5. Because he's actually facing the screen.

6. Because it's more appealing.

7. Because he's actually just now being chosen to battle rather than briefly being talked to before being chosen to battle.

8. Because his pose better matches his personality.

9. Because he's being sent out against a Pokémon that he actually beats rather than one that he simply ties with.

10. Because he's up against a Pokémon from the corresponding region rather than one from a previous region.

11. Because was chosen due to his type-advantage against his opponent rather than as a mere trump card.

12. Because being closer to one of his region debut's makes more sense than being exactly in one of his region finale's. Alright, I've given you a whopping twelve reasons why the image I uploaded is better. Now please reconsider. I am Mikoro (wanna talk?) 02:04, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I think I'll hop in here. The file you tried to upload over the Ash's Pikachu file is not better than the existing file:

1. Newer doesn't make a file better, properly displaying the Pokémon is always what matters.
2. With that said, your file does not look better, it cuts off more than the existing file and it's much blurrier.
3. #1 and #2 sum up everything in response to your third reason.
4. The background is not an important feature of the image, the file is meant to be about the Pokémon. The background of your file doesn't help make the file more about Pikachu.
5. Just because Pikachu is facing the screen does not make it better. In this case, it just causes more of him to be cut off.
6. That is a personal opinion, and we do not share it.
7. Being chosen for battle does not matter. Again, it's about properly displaying the Pokémon.
8. The pose does nothing of the sort. If anything, it detracts from Pikachu's personality.
9. Like #7, that doesn't matter in the slightest.
10. Once again, like #7, that doesn't matter.
11. And, for the last time, just like #7, that does not matter.
12. Like I mentioned for #1, being newer does not make a file better. Pikachu's design has not changed since the switch from SD to HD, unlike the many changes that happened during the SD era.

Now, Mikoro, please drop this. The file will not be changed, and from now on, it requires administrative approval to be modified. - Kogoro - Talk to me - 02:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Fine, have it your way. But just know that you are overreacting. My image is not MUCH blurrier. Also, the pose does better signify Pikachu's personality. If anything, the current one is just demeaning, because it makes Pikachu look like some kind of punk. But this is not my decision to make, so I'll just leave the decision making to you.

New Pokémon categories

In order for those to be created, do they require staff approval first? Pattyman (talk) 18:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Kogoro says the categories can be created by anyone as long as there's an image under the category already. --Pokemaster97 18:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Nacrene City Spring Image

I found a very much higher quality version of the Nacrene City map Spring version to replace the one who is placed there. Problem is the image can't be replaced (or at least I can't replace it) so I can't upload it properly (with correct name, description, etc etc). How should I tackle this problem? Thanks in advance.
