User talk:Jo The Marten

Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Jo The Marten! As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

Manual of Style The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives. List of Admins All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives. Tagging Guidelines 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.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   —♥ Jellotalk 07:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Regarding PPW

I'm not offending you by helping with your project, am I?

Templates

Please use {{p}} when addressing Pokémon, just like on Bulbapedia. ^ht14 04:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Image sizes

1440 x whatever that was is nice and all, but we prefer 1280 x 720 because if we keep allowing bigger, other users, ie one user, will whine, cry, complain and want to upload his 4000x4000 "fairuse images". So resize them to 1280 please. Thank you. 8D --P S Y_ライダー☮ 14:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, oops. I didn't even check the sizes. I'm actually on the laptop again so my image editing skills are limited here. :x So I'm at the mercy of what my source has to offer. Jo The Marten 14:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Over 2MB stuff ready for upload!

Revenge
Skull Bash
I'm not surprised that Skull Bash was over 2 MB but Revenge? Must have been those vapors. Anyhow no rush, whenever you have time! Hopefully I'll be able to kick up the pace soon. - Trainer Hunter 08:50, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Done and done. Jo The Marten 07:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Selfdestruct

Synthesis

Just a few more for now. Thanks again! - Trainer Hunter 06:15, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Finished~ Jo The Marten 08:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast. By the way, I know this isn't part of the 2 MB thing but Should this be changed to "Synthesis IV"? There's no actual Synthesis IV image and this one kinda stands out from the other 4th gen images, filename-wise. - Trainer Hunter 17:55, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I concur. I've since moved it. Jo The Marten 19:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Could you upload these please? (Or replace in the case of the Shadow moves). I had asked Masatoshi but he didnt get round to uploading them. Thanks in advance.

That should be everything you asked for, Vuvu. Jo The Marten 21:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Swallow

Wow, not much from this batch. Just about every image co-operated aside from this. - Trainer Hunter 12:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Inferno

Overheat

Magic Coat

Geez, those flames like to bloat up the filesize. -- Trainer Hunter -- 08:35, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Our servers just can't handle the heat. :P Overheat was being weird when I tried uploading it, but I eventually got it to work. Jo The Marten 14:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hurricane

Muddy Water

Yeesh, hurricane and its transparencies and backgrounds. By the way, now that there's a 5th gen image for every move (animated or non-animated) EXCEPT Secret Power, how should I get around to that. I'd guess just record everything, but which version would I put up in the move template? - unsigned comment from Trainer Hunter (talk • contribs)

I talked it over with some other staff members and we've chosen to let you upload all of the different Secret Powers and implement a switch template into the infobox. As for the bottom of the page (where they have the terrains and what not), you can just let us take care of that. :) Thanks for all of your help! Jo The Marten 02:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Always willing to help, and that sounds like a plan. I'll probably get started on that and getting all the unanimated 5th gen images animated sometime later (Soon, but not today. Need to take care of some things somewhere else, and need to figure out where I can get a battle in ice/snow as is).

By the way, is there any chance you can do that with Weather Ball too? Or something of the like? I tried bringing that up to Masatoshi but it was just before his hiatus. I admittedly did upload them in advance and someone stuffed the extras in the "other generations section" so you can see them all there. -- Trainer Hunter -- 03:39, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Secret Power (Building)

Secret Power (Cave)

Secret Power (Grass)

Secret Power (Puddle)

Secret Power (Sand)

Secret Power (Snow)

Secret Power (Water)

Well I got to that quicker than expected. Figured out how to take care of snow/ice with the tools I've got, too. I guess its your guys' turn on this one. If you want to move the files to a better name or whatnot go ahead, I just used names I figured would work. -- Trainer Hunter -- 11:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Fusion Bolt

Fusion Bolt (Boosted)

Fusion Flare (Boosted)

I also have V-create over 2 MB, but since I don't have any way to have a Japanese-named Victini in recording without using a Japanese game, would this still work? I just made sure the level would be the same as an English-release event Victini (Since we all know it's gonna happen), but if that's not good then feel free to not use it. Not to mention I can change it if they decide on a silly level change or something. And what about the other event moves, like the unreleased events' signatures, or Freeze Shock/Ice Burn? I'd imagine making animations of those would be okay? Since there's already still images on the site. -- Trainer Hunter -- 11:33, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
