==Animated images==
I fail to see how all these PNG images are supposed to be "animated" Please explain? They dont animate in my browser, but are PNGs supposed to be able to animate? <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 22:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Spread the word ==

To avoid something like that happen again, I suggest we either;

#Add it to the welcome template for new users

or

#add it on the main page

This way, there's a slight chance it won't happen again.--[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 12:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

== Gen II trainer sprites ==

First, they should be in png format, no? Second, the format is 56 x 56, no? If so for both, we have gif files and incorrect-sized png files. Suggestions, anyone?

== What's the deal with these images? ==
Just was checking [[:Category:Game maps]] and found a bunch of REALLY crappy images. No articles link to them, and they basically consist of every imaginable kind of badness game maps can have.

== The totals at the top of the page ==

I've noticed some inconsistencies with the totals at the top of this page, which actually mean that we're closer to the correct number of sprites than we seem.  For instance:

* Gen I: All good obviously
* Gold: Though it currently says we are 2 sprites over, the "correct" total fails to take into account the japanese sprites of {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Aipom}}.  The same holds true for the Gold shinies!
* Silver: Same problem as Gold except it's {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Slowpoke}}.  Silver shiny too!
* Crystal: Just Jynx this time.  This also covers Crystal shiny (where we dont have the right number either way) and Gen II back 
Gen II normal and shiny.
* Ruby and Sapphire: I don't know where that total came from but without Castform (which seems to have been forgotten) it's 413 but with... '''416''', the total we have.  Same for Shiny except Castform probably shouldn't be counted...  The total of 416 should also work for Emerald (once again unless Castform is discarded) at which point it's 413.
* FireRed and LeafGreen: Should have 1 more than RSE (417) because of the added Deoxys Forme.  With the shinies being 414 if we dont put Castform.
*Gen 3 back should be 419 as it would contain all the Deoxys plus the other 416.  Shiny is 416.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 02:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with most of your points except the last two. Also, the top ones are made for general sprites. That way those who find missing ones will find them and just upload them. In regards to your last two points... there are sprite changes between RS and FRLG, such as minor colorings and change in images (see [[:File:Spr b 3r 003.png]] and [[:File:Spr b 3f 003.png]].

::Right, the backsprites... odd that I would forget that.  Either way, it makes it seem like we're furhter away from the goal than we truly are and that we somehow let extra sprites slip through the craks.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 23:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The math is commented out after my proposed totals (correct me if I forgot anything).  Some of it is also personal preferance, do we include Castform's unanimated sprites into the Emerald category?  What about the Shiny categories (as they are the alternate sprites of shiny Castform as well)?  This also includes my firm belief that the backsprite categories are in need of a serious overhaul.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 00:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

::I think everyone on the Archives needs to learn the wonders of compressing their images. I wouldn't necessarily say the resolution is the problem but rather the file size. Not everyone has high speed internet, believe it or not. A few simple free tools can do wonders. I would advise you all who like to keep their big images to do a simple Google search about compressing .pngs (OptiPNG is one example, that has plugins available for Paint.NET and GIMP, both of which are free programs) <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange;">Jello</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#3FA9D0;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</b> 01:27, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

==Help!!!==
Hey i was trying to attach a file ([[:File:Darkrai Dark Void multiple balls.png]] or something like that) to my userpage back at bulbapedia, but it was an older version, and i was having trouble embedding it, so i clikced revert! it did something totally unexpected! How can i delete the revert? --[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563]] 10:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:Often the Bulbapedia server and Archives server take a while to synchronize, so it doesn't always show up straight away. Which version of the image did you want to use? The one with the dark sky or blue sky? If you want the dark sky, you will need to upload it elsewhere as a personal image, because Bulbapedia prefers the dark sky for its projects. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:31, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

When I try and upload an animated version of the Geodude version under the name Spr_4d_074.png it rejects it and says I have to come up witha new name.

In the sprite template above, the totals for the Gold sprites, Shiny Gold sprites, Silver sprites, Shiny Silver sprites, Gold/Silver back sprites, Gold/Silver Shiny back sprites, and Diamond and Pearl sprites, are smaller than the actual number of images.

Why many Crystal back sprites are actually from Gold/Silver? I used cheats to get shiny Ivysaur on VBA (with Real Colors ON), and when compared it to the one we have from GS, the shiny in Crystal is slightly brighter (at least when compared in Paint).
