"### s.png" Sprites

Status: In progress

Current progress: All sprites covered. Research complete.

Log author: Shiningpikablu252

Sprites that are D/P but should be Pt

These sprites should be using the Platinum iterations, but are instead currently using the Diamond/Pearl iterations due to the corresponding "Spr 4p ### s.png" and/or "Spr 4p ### m s.png" having not been uploaded (no "### f s.png" sprites exist for any Pokémon from the first three generations, and only exist for three in Generation IV).

In the event one of these Pokémon gets new spritework in HeartGold/SoulSilver and is still using a Diamond/Pearl sprite at the time of HeartGold/SoulSilver's release, such a sprite should be updated directly to the HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

The sprites below depict gender differences on the female side and are in the exact same situation, word for word, as the above sprites.

Unown forms without spritework

These Unown forms do not have any Generation IV spritework at any "Spr 4d 201# #.png" denotation. Sprites do not exist in either the normal or alternate coloration. The normal coloration "201#.png" sprites depicted here are not up to current standards and should be replaced with proper Diamond/Pearl sprites.

In the event any form of Unown gets new spritework in HeartGold/SoulSilver, such a sprite should be uploaded directly as the HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite.

(Unown ? normal)	(Unown ? alternate)
(Unown ! normal)	(Unown ! alternate)

In-weather Castform forms

It's a well-known fact that the same transformed-state sprites are used for Castform's alternate forms, both for normal coloration and alternate coloration. This means that "351# s.png" should redirect to "351#.png", which in turn should be a Diamond/Pearl sprite. However, for some odd reason, the Diamond/Pearl sprites for these alternate forms are not available on Bulbapedia for "Spr 4p 351# #.png" to redirect to, hence forcing "351#.png" to redirect to Generation III sprites! This, in turn, is leaving what should be redirects from "351# s.png" to "351#.png" unmade.

In the event any alternate form of Castform gets new spritework in HeartGold/SoulSilver, such a sprite should be uploaded to "351#.png" directly as the HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite, with "351# s.png" then being redirected to the new sprite.
