Could you make the Gen 6 version of the experience formula use the same (or a closer) font size as [[:File:Delta exp gen5.png]]? The difference when they're "side by side" (so to speak) is a little odd. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:55, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

::Oh, cool! I tried to look for something like that once before myself, but I didn't have any luck. The two fonts appear mostly the same, once you bump the Gen 6 formula up to size 12. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:22, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
== Old era minisprites ==
I know I said you could rename them if you felt it was necessary, but I would like to make a suggestion. I'd rather see the sprites named based on what they resemble moreso than the Pokémon that use them. So for example, I would suggest calling [[File:MS Artificial II.png]] Voltorb, since that is clearly a Voltorb. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:12, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

== Image Upload Request ==
I was just wondering if you would be able to upload an image for me, its a replacement for the tiny pokemon pinball ruby table.
I want to replace the image before i forget, as i doubt i will have image uploading permissions anytime soon due to my low edit rate.
Also, how do i find the page with all site rules? I wanted to check about a couple things. --[[User:Xyifer12|Xyifer12]] ([[User talk:Xyifer12|talk]]) 17:28, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
:There's a bunch of rules on the uploading page; not sure where else you can find them (other than the Council's Message for XY-related images/sprites). But you can upload the file to imagehosting site, from which I could download it. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 07:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

:::Uh, I've noticed the quality [http://i.imgur.com/QTdryba.png isn't exactly good] (it's not quite clear at that zoom, so you may want to download the file). Was it perhaps converted from .gif or .jpg? [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 11:51, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
::::I played for a short time in [removed] and recoded an avi file of the gameplay. I used a program to convert the video to jpg files, and spliced several together to make the final png. It isnt as clear as i had hoped it would be, but at least it is far better than the image i want to replace. (bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ruby_Field.png  this is what i want to replace) --[[User:Xyifer12|Xyifer12]] ([[User talk:Xyifer12|talk]]) 12:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:::::If you still have the .avi, I could {{tt|try doing something.|Not exactly now, as my PC is currently busy with another video.}} [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I could make another, but i would not be able to upload it due to horrible internet speeds. It takes me 8 minutes to download 1.5 MB.
All you need to do is use VBA to record the file, assuming you have the ROM. --[[User:Xyifer12|Xyifer12]] ([[User talk:Xyifer12|talk]]) 12:28, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
== JPG & Transparency ==
I noticed you were having some problems with {{red link|File:AipomUnnamedThirdSet1.jpg|trying to make a jpg format file transparent}}. Well, the jpg format simply doesn't support transparent pixels. The only way to make a jpg format file transparent is to replace it with a transparent png format file.

== When I upload an image, it gives me an error. ==
The error is "You do not have permission to create pages". Please help!{{unsigned|EACreator1}}
:It means you haven't met the (partially hidden) requirements to be autoconfirmed. I can't recall what they're exactly, though, so you better ask someone else. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 21:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
I figured out my issue. I am autoconfirmed on Bulbapedia, but not on the archives. Is this an issue?

== Adding images... ==
Excuse me, Eridanus... I'm trying to upload an image for a recently released video game, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon as a matter of fact, but it seems I lack permission to do this action. Can you help me with this? --[[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 23:01, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
:Since Super Mystery Dungeon is still fresh when it comes to English langauges, you may want to talk with someone [[Archives:Staff|else]]; like someone from the Council. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 15:36, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
== Converting AVI files into APNG files ==
I have a huge question I'd like to ask you. What do you use to convert .avi files into animated .png files? I tried using VirtualDub APNG Mod and it came up with some errors while importing the .avi (since I recorded it from 3DS Capture software). Then I accidentally overwritten one of the screenshots that I had of one of the Adventure Hints from Gates to Infinity and lost it. I have several .avi files that I'd like to make into animated .png files. Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 07:56, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:I've been using Adobe Photoshop, but it's outdated as it stopped working past certain versions of QuickTime (which was needed). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 11:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
::Ah okay, thanks! Also, do you know any way I can make the Animated PNG smaller than 2MB? 'Cause the upload won't allow file sizes larger than 2MB.—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 13:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:::I suggest using [https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/files/APNG_Optimizer/ this] on {{tt|a finished APNG|once put through the program, doing anything than changing frame delay messes up the animation}} to make the file smaller. Remember also about the first frame that shows the animation for browsers that don't support these, like [[:File:Powder Snow II.png|here]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 15:26, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
::::I just tried this on an APNG file that I made which demonstrated the effects of a Slumber Trap in Gates to Infinity, but it certainly didn't decrease the file size in any way. Also I'm pretty sure APNG Assembler Version 2.9 has compression built into it.—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 16:00, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
:::::It worked for me, all the way from Red and Blue to Black and White (the linked animation of move has original file not compresse, hence size of ~500KB). I am not sure why it doesn't work you. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 16:34, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
::::::Then I wonder what I could be doing wrong? I extracted all the frames from an .avi, and I then used APNG Assembler 2.9 to create an Animated PNG out of it. I had Play indefinitely enabled and Skip the first frame disabled in Playback Settings. The Compression Method is 7zip with 15 iterations, while Optimize Palette and Optimize color type are both enabled. The Delay Settings for all frames is set to "1"/"30" seconds. If you'd like, you could see what is wrong with the frames, here it is: http://www.megafileupload.com/6rgv/top_and_bottom_screen.zip —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 16:45, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I have put it through {{tt|two optimizations|first from a program to make it APNG, that didn't crash from files this big, then through that program}}, and while it cut a lot of megabytes (raw animation is about 30MB), it's still not below 2MB (about 2.4MB instead). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 17:24, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
::::::::When I used APNG Assembler to make the APNG, it seemed to work fine without any crashes. Then I put it though APNG Optimizer, and exported file was still the same size.

== Red's house ==
Can you upload images for Red's house in GSC (and possibly HGSS) for the {{bp|player's house}} article? Thanks in advance. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 02:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
== About the Generation II Curse PNG animation ==
I'd just like to let you know that the file that you uploaded for the move Curse from Generation II is broken and is not looping as it should. You might need to fix it. Thanks!—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 04:50, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
== Duel images ==
Are you able to get decent images of the avatar customization options in Duel? And of the Gem packets in the shop? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 13:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

== Autoconfirmed ==
Hi, I tried to upload a file but was surprised to find I am not autoconfirmed. I have 300+ edits at Bulbapedia and have been a member of Bulbagarden since 2007. I had a look at the "to-do list" to see if there is something I can help out with at Archives, but most of the "to-do"s are about uploading images, which I'm not able to do! Can you advise me on how to resolve this problem? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 09:57, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
