I'm new here, sorry.
I just wanted to help out by submitting missing sprites, but I'm kind of confused about what I'm supposed to do or how to make the sprite appear on the Pokémon's page.

So how do you do those things?

And also, how do you reply to people (yes, I admit it, I'm a noob)? I can't seem to find a way to, so I just made a new section...

Thank you.

::Click the edit link beside my section title. Then write a colon to indent it. More colons mean more indent. The sprites will update automatically. They are hardwired into the page. If you look at what I did [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File%3ASpr_2c_204.gif&diff=95311&oldid=95308 here] and look at the guide I linked you above, you should figure this out in no time. (Oh, and write <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after any talk page comment you leave.

:::Wait, so what exactly am I supposed to do? Those pages don't make any sense to me...
:::Can you show me of a completed upload page for a sprite for, let's say, Gligar?

::::If you want to upload Crystal sprites, make sure they look like {{red link|File:Spr 2c 001.gif|this page}}. Write <nowiki>{{gamesprite|natdexnumber|Pokémonname|all|Crystal}}</nowiki> in the [[:File:BulbaArchives Howto.png|blue summary box]], and select the appropriate licence. It's fairly straightforward.

::::::[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File%3ASpr_2c_204_s.gif&diff=95349&oldid=95347 Not bad]. It's unfortunate that you're jumping in with this while we're in the middle of an update. Some of the sprites you see may be wrong; however, the Pineco sprites are now good examples.

::But when I uploaded a shiny Ninetales sprite for Platinum, I wrote <code>|all|</code>, but it still came out correctly. {{unsigned|Chuck67322}}
:::Not really. By putting |shiny|, you are categorizing the sprite as a shiny sprite.

no need to put the Category:Pokémon name...just the gamesprite template. [[User:Maverick Nate|Maverick Nate]] 23:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I believe you've done an epic fail. Game sprites are supposed to face toward the LEFT of the screen, not the right. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#DAA520">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">chidna</span>]]''' 02:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:Also, the re-upload summary will not change the summary on the file page. You need to edit it directly for that change to happen. - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>'''</span>]] - 02:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
::Sorry.
::I admit I'm an epic failer. I'm new here.
::But the problem is, most of the sprites I have are facing right and I don't know how to make them face left. I have Photoshop and Flash and everything, so if you could tell me how I'll be happy to fix them.
::@Kogoro: That was one time, I believe. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 20:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Flipping is easy. GIMP has a flipping button for either horizontal or vertical, and so does the crappiest of crap, Paint, so I'd imagine it's buried somewhere in the menu on Photoshop. Try under "image" if that's there... '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#DAA520">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">chidna</span>]]''' 02:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::::OK, thanks a lot. :)
::::Edit: Hmm... it only lets me open the first frame. I guess I'll try Gimp then. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 02:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
