Welcome
Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Gabo 2oo!As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:
|
The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.
|
All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.
|
Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous
- Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files.
- Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here.
- Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing.
- When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean.
- Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives.
- Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the
{{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbagarden Archives.
- In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only.
- Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions.
- If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.

They're required here. ht14 04:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Regarding transparency...
If a file needs transparency, please add {{Transparency needed}} in order to notify others to transparentize the said file. ht14 03:18, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Also... did you get permission regarding the changing of those sprites? ht14 03:20, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- They look fine to me. Transparency's not difficult to do, though. Get GIMP. I'll transparentify the ones there, though. TTEchidna 03:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Mapas BW
Mind if you tell me how to make them ^^;? --☆Coolピカチュウ! 02:18, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- Do you mind to put uploading the maps on a hiatus? We're currently in the middle of something and do not want them to be taken. Thanks, --☆Coolピカチュウ! 06:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Tall Grass sprites for Spring and Summer
The sprites you uploaded for the Tall Grass in Spring and Summer are duplicates, so one of the files is probably different. Lady Ariel (talk) 22:03, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Unova Maps
You can go ahead and finish working on the maps of the Unova areas that are needed. Lady Ariel (talk) 11:10, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
A quick note
Don't forget to remove the transparency needed template once you upload the transparent version of the file. Other than that, keep up the good work. --Pokemaster97 22:34, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
