Good work with the animated sprite uploads! What you're doing is long overdue. While scrolling through the numbers preceding your uploads, I found out that [[:File:Spr 4h 042 m.png|Golbat's sprite]] is unanimated. Just in case you hadn't noticed yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:00, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

:Oh, and not just Golbat. There are several sprites from before Oddish that need to be animated. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 23:22, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
::You skipped over Electabuzz's sprite. Was it by accident or on purpose? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
:::Hi, thank you, and yes, it was done on purpose. The sprite animation on the summary screen went beyond the screen boundaries, so I had to leave it as it is until I find another method. Also, I'm prioritising each Pokémon to get at least one animation first, before doing alternate forms such as gender and shiny. --[[User:HydroSeaDragon|HydroSeaDragon]] ([[User talk:HydroSeaDragon|talk]]) 09:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
::::Ah, that explains your upload style. Gotcha. I hope you can find solutions to those wildly moving sprites, because all that empty space really distorts templates. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:32, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::Looking at Swanna's sprite from Generation V makes me think cropping off some empty space from some of your animated sprites could be perfectly okay. I'll leave the choice up to you, of course. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:58, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
== Animated Sprites Help  ==
Hello! I want to help with uploading animated sprites, but I don't have Photoshop or money to get it. Is there a free alternative that I can use instead? Also, whenever I rip a sprite from the emulator (I use DeSmuME) the background is black instead of green. Is there a way to fix this? --[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 21:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
::You could try GIMP as an alternative, but I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not sure how to do it on GIMP. As for your second question, I wrote my guide based on HGSS, so now that I moved on to extracting sprites in Platinum, I encountered the same problem as you - the black background. Changing the background requires some knowledge of ROM hacking. First, I used Tinke to pinpoint the location of the summary screen in the ROM, and then a HEX editor to find said location and replace the original background data with just a pure, green background. --[[User:HydroSeaDragon|HydroSeaDragon]] ([[User talk:HydroSeaDragon|talk]]) 05:07, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
:::I tried using GIMP, but it doesn't support AVI files. Is there any other software I can use? --[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 19:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
== Awesome job! ==
Your uploads of animated Gen IV sprites are a pleasure to behold. However, I noticed that while you uploaded the Pt/HGSS sprites of Vibrava, you didn't upgrade the DP sprite of the same Pokémon. Was this done on purpose? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
