== Generation II sprites. ==
You know that shiny sprites are still at wrong size? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 20:32, 19 October 2012 (UTC) PS. Also, should the animation be extended to a square if it doesn't fit in the correct size [ie. 80x 80 for Gen IV]? (Regigigas's is 82x80, so asking.) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 21:11, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

::Okay. But you didn't answer my question about size of files that are bigger than 64x64 (such as [[:File:Spr 3e 003.png|Venusaur]]) - make file square (eg. 72x72) or "normal" (eg. 64x72) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:53, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

::::Uhh... Not the case, actually.

== Big art ==
[[:File:001Bulbasaur AG anime.png|This]] is so ridiculously big, it almost is twice our size limit. So are most of [[:Category:High-resolution images|these]]. Should I tag them with {{template|oversized}} or leave them so? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
:From what I understand, images uploaded before September 2010 wouldn't needed the Oversized template (that is when the limits were put in place). They wouldn't be required to be replaced unless it is for other reasons.

== Not Specifed? ==
About the Flashback images I uploaded, you added that they are unsatisfatory for being not specified, what do you mean by that? What is it wrong?--[[User:Igor Castro Chucre|Igor Castro Chucre]] ([[User talk:Igor Castro Chucre|talk]]) 11:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

== Moving. ==
Can't see any point of sense in the suffix when places were in only in B2W2 (except places like {{bp|Reversal Mountain}}, because it differs between versions so it has suffix despite being so far only in these sequels). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 10:01, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
== BubbleBeam image ==
Can you upload an image of {{bp|Virgil}}'s {{p|Vaporeon}} using {{m|BubbleBeam}} for the {{bp|Anime move errors}} page since it hasn't been uploaded yet? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 18:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

::Ok then. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 23:44, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
== Emerald sprites ==
About 61% done of normal sprites, plus fixed few sprites (such as Pidgeot's, Victreebel's, or anything other that had visibly part of sprite missing. Might not be perfect fix, but it should do the job) by what I already updated to "at least 64x64". Unown sprites might be slightly hard (as well the Gastly's shiny sprite, I think), since I have no idea how to make a gif so it shows only one frame at once (instead of ADDING the layers and making it look bad, because previous layers will still be there).

== Seafloor Cavern ==
I appreciate your effort in adding the move tag on the images needing them. However, when you tagged the images with Seafloor Cavern in the name, I noticed that you put in F for floor. I believe those are rooms as they don't have the stair thingy. Before I move them, I wanted to confirm if you wanted just the room number in the file name. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 14:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
:With them just being room numbers, I think this format would work well - File:Seafloor_Cavern_R#_Gameinitials.png [[User:G50|<span style="color:red">''ㄱ''</span>]][[User talk:G50|<span style="color:green">''쉰''</span>]] G50 15:02, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
== Wiki code ==
Has wiki code changed over the last 3 years? Because I think I'm coding the redirects in a rather outdated style; I saw some of the edits you did to some of the pics I uploaded and you used template brackets in a way before would not have worked. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] ([[User talk:Hmdwgf|talk]]) 06:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
:If you mean templates like adding Template:Location tags to location files, then yes the coding was changed recently (2012) [[:Template:Location]]. If you mean something else, can you please give an example of what you're referring to?

::Here: when I was writing redirects to the main Registeel page on Bulbapedia, you changed it from [[bp:Registeel]] to p|Registeel surrounded by { and } . Things like that. I might have answered my own question... --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] ([[User talk:Hmdwgf|talk]]) 01:05, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
== episode codes ==
Asking your opinion about the subject, do you think I should add in the episode codes on the images with Trainer and Pokémon such as [[:File:May and Munchlax.png]] and [[:File:Cameron and Lucario.png]]? [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] ([[User talk:Pattyman|talk]]) 16:24, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

== Head anime images ==
I will, but should not the [[Template:newstemp|newstemp template]] have a text different than "This is to be deleted '''after the episode has aired'''" then? --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 03:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
== Reuploading Japanese box art for X and Y ==
Hi G50,
For some reason, when you uploaded the Japanese box art for X and Y with the CERO A rating, it didn't appear on Bulbapedia. Can you perhaps reupload again? [[User:Agent5514|Agent5514]] ([[User talk:Agent5514|talk]]) 11:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
== Little questions ==
Hello G50. First of all, thanks for correcting my uploads. There are the first I made and I already have difficulties to do it completely and properly. I will try to do my best for the next ones. I have some questions for you. <br>Firstly, this morning (european time) I uploaded some game maps (Copycat house, Eterna Condominiums) to improve the pictures of the articles (respectively by cutting black borders and taking a screenshot by day). The new screenshots appear on the Archives but not on the articles. It is due to the server ? Will they automatically appear on the articles later ? <br>Secondly, when I update an article (for example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/House_of_Imite House of Imite], by adding the two needed pictures), can I delete the template saying that the section is incomplete or should I let it until a staff member check the work and delete it himself ?<br>Finally, I've made a suggestion on the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Copycat_%28character%29#Layout Copycat talk page] to improve the article. If you have the time, can you just check my idea ? Just if you have the time :-)<br>Sorry for disturbing you with these little things (and sorry if my english is not perfect). Thanks a lot for your coming answers ! [[User:Chiwingum|<span style="color:#C00;">Chiwi★</span>]] ([[User_Talk:Chiwingum|Talk]]) 15:16, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
:After images are changed on the Archives, it does take awhile to update on the Bulbapedia side. The length of time for them to sync varies. The incomplete template can be deleted if a page is indeed completed. It's best to double-check the page if there is anything incomplete before deleting it however.

== 56x56 back sprites ==
So I was going through the Gold and Silver back sprites intending to fix all the Japanese version ones that haven't been made 56x56 yet but when I was going to upload [[::File:Spr_b_2g_127_jp.png|Pinsir]] I noticed you had already made it 56x56 but then reverted the change but left the unsatisfactory template on it. Is there any particular reason it shouldn't be changed? --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 08:15, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
:Go ahead and upload the missing Japanese sprites for Gold/Silver. There was an error I made with it before so I reverted it at the time. [[User:G50|<span style="color:red">''ㄱ''</span>]][[User talk:G50|<span style="color:green">''쉰''</span>]] G50 09:58, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

== Large overworld weather anipng ==
Hi there, I have been working on animating the overworld weather conditions, and the last one I need to upload is the Tornadus/Thunderus summoned "thunderstorm" in BW. However, the file I get is over 4 MB because a) 60fps, and b) extremely high detail with the amount of rain on the screen, and there is a certain length to the animation. Obviously I will need a staff member to upload it for me, but I wanted to ask what you would consider the limit for the size. Is over 4 MB too much? Here is probably the best one I made time-wise - it's over 4 MB: [http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll1/jdthebud/JDTHEBUD/Thunderstorm_V.png Thunderstorm V]. It's worth noting that I experimented with 30 fps, but it barely dropped the file size and the animation didn't look as clean as it needed to be. Let me know what you think, and if necessary, I may be able to tinker a little more with the frames to get a smaller file.<br>
- On a somewhat related note, would you classify this weather to be Heavy rain or Thunderstorm? I don't think there is any lightning flashes, but there could be thunder? [[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] ([[User talk:Jdthebud|talk]]) 20:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
:Normally 2MB is the limit. I'm not really sure about the weather, it looks like heavy rain but I'm not positive. I'd recommend asking SnorlaxMonster or Kogoro about anything above the 2MB limit.

== Uploading math equations ==
Hey. I want to upload a corrected version of the stat generating formulas for the IV article, as well as adding a section on how to properly compute IVs with correct error estimates (most IV calculators use a brute force method), but I am unable to upload files since this is a brand new account. This is really the only part of the project I'm interested in so I don't foresee being able to get autoconfirmed by editing other pages. Would it be possible for me to either get the permissions to edit those pages or give the files to someone else to upload? --[[User:Pokemath|Pokemath]] ([[User talk:Pokemath|talk]]) 01:51, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
:To be able to upload images, you will first need to be auto-confirmed. Make a few normal edits to fix categories, summaries, typos in the different files; and the ability to upload will come.

== New image problem ==
Could you help me upload this pic for Ash's Pikachu. Its this one. https://zapp.trakt.us/images/episodes/3152-16-1.jpg?28 I tried to but I'm having trouble.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]]) 00:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
== Not sure if I'm just lacking permission or if I also need autoconfirmation ==
Hi, I'd like to upload some XY move screenshots to the Archives. I thought I needed to be autoconfirmed to do so, however when you created my Talk page, it said "By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews", so I'm wondering if it's just a permission issue? Either way, when I try to upload a move screenshot, it says "A file with this name exists already in the shared file repository. If you still want to upload your file, please go back and use a new name." --[[User:TotalPotato|TotalPotato]] ([[User talk:TotalPotato|talk]]) 19:58, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
:The Archives require users to be auto-confirmed before they can upload over an existing file. After an undisclosable amount of edits, you will automatically be able to at some point.

== About the Monster House screenshot in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity ==
Hi, I was wondering. Is it okay if I upload a new version of the Monster House screenshot from Gates to Infinity? I have taken one from in-game using a 3DS capture card called 3DS Capture, and it's in much higher quality too. And if so, would you like it to have both the bottom and top screens? Or would you prefer it to only show the top screen?—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 15:01, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
:Sure, go ahead. It would probably be best to just show the top screen. [[User:G50|<span style="color:red">''ㄱ''</span>]][[User talk:G50|<span style="color:green">''쉰''</span>]] G50 19:00, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I'm currently uploading and upgrading multiple screenshots for Generation VII moves.

Do I need to provide some sort of proof to demonstrate I'm not stealing material from third parts? Thanks.
