Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Team Rocket Grunt!

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!   ht14 16:49, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Summary and categories

When uploading an image, please do remember to add the appropriate category/categories and summary before uploading it. Also, while uploading anime images, try to find a version that doesn't have a watermark on it. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 13:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Where do I find logofree anime screens?--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 15:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

You've again uploaded an image without a summary. And I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't post you links to anime episodes here. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 22:19, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

It'd be preferred if you converted your jpg images to png before uploading them. And don't forget you can add summaries and categories to images before uploading them too. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 18:35, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

New image summaries

When uploading a new image, please write in the appropriate summary text for the image, instead of your own edit summary. Thank you. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 11:08, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

How would appropriate summary text look like?--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

It varies between images. For example, for the menu sprite images you uploaded for the Legends Pokémon need to use the "Menu sprite" template. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 18:27, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Card images

TCG card images are supposed to be jpg files, since they're supposed to be photos/scans and there are well over 10,000 of them. And don't trim the borders, we want the rounded edges, even if it makes a little bit of untransparent white at the corners. Glik (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

So jpg for photos, png for graphics? What about concept art scans, they look grainy in jpg? I got them from this site [1], didn't cut anything.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 16:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

If they're someone else's, you have to get their permission to upload them. Cards are about the only thing that should be jpg. Shrinking jpgs messes them up; something as small as a card can be uploaded at native resolution just fine, but larger things like concept art should be converted to png, as we'll have to shrink them.

Another reminder

You've been asked before, I'll ask again, when uploading images, you MUST include summaries--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 19:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Concept art uploads

Hi, can I ask where you are sourcing these Pokémon concept artworks you are uploading, and where you intend to use them? Thespeon196 (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

You can find them on various sites, this for example [2]. I'd like to gather concept arts for every Pokemon and character.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 17:11, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. We should only be uploading images from official sources, and the site linked isn't, so can I ask you to pause these uploads. We also shouldn't just be uploading here with the intent to have a concept art for every Pokémon and character, as we're not an image hosting site, as our Image use policy says. All images should be needed and used on Bulbapedia.

It's also good practice, and indeed required by the Image use policy, to source images which are being uploaded. Thespeon196 (talk) 17:29, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

These are official concept arts from related to Pokemon movies. It doesn't matter who scanned them. And of course I want them to be used on the site. Some already are for Pokemon biology section [3]. They need to be uploaded first.--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 17:47, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

It matters where they are sourced from. If they don't come from an official source they shouldn't be uploaded here, which also is why source info should be given, so that everyone can verify where the art is from. We may have not been as strict with this in the past, but going forward all images should contain source information if it's not clear where they're from. Thespeon196 (talk) 18:08, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

They're not from the tera leak if that's what you're afraid of. So we need to track down the art book that they originate from?--Team Rocket Grunt (talk) 18:24, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

That's one reason to be extra vigilant these days of course. If the art book source can be found that would be a good start, but it would be better if it was obtained through your own scan of the book. There's always the possibility that images obtained from others / elsewhere on the net have been modified in some way from the original source, which isn't acceptable of course.

Also it should be said that the images you uploaded are larger than we generally accept, they should be no more than 1920px unless permission is obtained from a staff member. Thespeon196 (talk) 19:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
