[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Gust_DPPt.png this] and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Gust_HGSS.png this] for example.  But the versions are actually the same.  Should I just pick one and put a move template, and then put a delete template on the other?  Or what?  Most definitely gonna have to do that with Gust. -- [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer]] [[User talk:Trainer Hunter|Hunter]] -- 20:32, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
(Reset) If I'm understanding your question correctly: If they're 100% exactly the same, then yeah, upload over one and one of the admins will move it, then we'll delete the other one. I'm assuming the HGSS move is simply later in the animation since based solely on the two images we have, they do look different. But I haven't played a Gen IV game for a long while and I don't remember what every move looked like, so I'll take your word for it that they're the same. Keep up the good work. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 22:24, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, one lacks the in-game transparencies.  I'm sure they're 100% the same when ignoring that goof.  And thanks, I'll make sure to set up those templates when I get back on recording moves. -- [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer]] [[User talk:Trainer Hunter|Hunter]] -- 23:14, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
== A request... ==
First off, nice job with the custom menu sprites, Jo! Would it be possible for you to make Shiny Legendary beasts menu sprites for {{bp|Legendary beasts (movie 13)|their article in Bulbapedia}}? Thank you for your time. - [[User:Chosen|<span style="color:#F85888">Chosen</span>]] <span style="color:#6890F0">of</span> [[User talk:Chosen|<span style="color:#F8D030">Mana</span>]] 18:06, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
:It is completely possible. But I was told by other staff that because the color difference between the regular beasts and shiny beasts is so minimal (mostly for Entei), to not worry about making them. Personally I wouldn't mind having them. But those higher in authority know what's best, so I just did what I was told. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 00:15, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

== Batch uploading ==
Is there any way to do a batch upload?  I am making the Trozei sprites transparent, which means I have about 350 images to upload, which will take forever. Is uploading multiple images at a time possible? --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 03:46, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
:Only admins and above can do mass uploads, but it's usually a mess. Plus, I don't think you can upload new versions of files in masses. You'll have to do it all manually. Or if you like, upload a Zip file of all the sprites to a file sharing site and we can organize a little upload party to split up the work. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 07:01, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
::Can we split the work?  I'll do the Kanto ones myself. I uploaded the Johto (99 images) and Hoenn (135 images) ones in .rar files to MediaFire. [http://www.mediafire.com/?1b682syfdh5llm1 Johto] [http://www.mediafire.com/?6jp6cjju81gmajx Hoenn]
::Can we maybe try to get at least a couple more people? Who do we ask to join the party? TIA! --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 07:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
:::We can definitely get more people in on this. But at the time that I'm posting this response, most of the staff have gone to bed. ^^; But once a few more are present and accounted for, I see no reason not to. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 14:03, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
::::You know what, the uploading is going a lot faster than I thought it would, so I'll just upload all the images myself. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 03:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
== Trainer sprite format ==
It's File:Spr <gamecode> <trainername>.png. Example would be [[:File:Spr BW Maid.png]]. [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#999999"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#A68C21"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 22:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
:Thing is, the Hoenn gym leader sprites all followed an old format of "Sprite<trainer>.png" so rather than rename ALL of them, I just fixed the ones that weren't the same. Kogoro said it'd be best to leave that (massive) project for another day (like when it's not the holidays) and simply make them consistent for now. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 01:06, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
::That is fine; just wanted to make sure you were aware. [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#999999"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#A68C21"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 01:54, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
== Cropping ==
Are you sure the images are distorted ? I mean, as I see them through my monitor they seem quite ok. I don't want you to take it as an offense but wouldn't be possible that your browser or your monitor makes them look this way ? Could I suggest you consult with an other admin? Please do not take my advice as an insult.--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 18:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:Considering a large chunk of the image is missing when you crop out the logo, yes, it is distorted. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 18:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
::Actually, what do you mean by distorted ? The image looks fine, it doesn't look shaky and it retains its 720p quality screenshot. It is very tiring to remove 50 logos since they contain a lot of detail and as I said before it's like trying to remove a house only to see the fence behind it. The best solution is cropping and it doesn't make them look bad, trust me. I can send you a screenshot on how I view them.--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 18:49, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:::{{wp|Distortion|"A distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of an object, image, sound, waveform or other form of information or representation."}} You are altering the shape by cropping them. They're supposed to have a widescreen 6:3 resolution, but your cropping is causing the images to be distorted and improperly sized. If you can't provide screenshots without cropping out chunks of the image, then please don't worry about it and just wait for someone else to do it. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 18:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Well then, if it is a 6:3 you want then I shall try and do so. But it will take some time to make a good removal of the watermark. Since there are some missing error images I can upload them and then whoever wants can upload a new version, at least this way someone will notice.--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 19:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::That only creates more work. Please just hold off on uploading screenshots at all. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 19:05, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Fine, I'll just upload screenshots I'm able to {{tt|unwatermark|should they have 1,280 x 720 pixels?}} them. Is that ok ? Btw, relating to the images you are uploading, do you take screenshots from episodes which don't have watermarks or do you use something {{tt|else|besides Photoshop}} ?--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 19:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:About before, I was wrong. 16:9 is the actual resolution. 1280 x 720 is the maximum size. Anything below that is okay too (as long as it isn't itty bitty.) I have some episodes that don't have any watermarks or logos at all, and the ones that do have logos I will photoshop. We aren't against photoshops as long as you can't tell that it has been shopped. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 19:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
::Is it possible for a image that has been cropped to have a {{tt|16:9|besides the usual resizing}}? Or at least to not appear "distorted" ?--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 19:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:::It would still be distorted. You seem to be confused on the definition of distorted even though I sent you a definition. Basically if you alter the image in any way that it is noticeable, that is distortion. For example, with [[:File:BW024 Error.png|this image]], I knew Cilan was originally in the shot, and when I noticed he wasn't in your screenshot, I knew you had cropped the image. That's distortion. So even if you kept the 16:9 resolution, it would still be distorted because parts of the image that should be there wouldn't be. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 19:30, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
::::So it's distorted just because some notices it that something it misses. Well, even so, it's supposed to show an error not to focus on someone else, exactly as WTP, they focus on the Pokémon not on the random black and white tiles. Seriously, I thought you are seeing the image shaky or blurry. But it turned out it was just because someone was missing. Again, I don't understand the integrity of this since it should only focus on its main error or character.--[[User:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">--'''DJ'''</span>]][[User talk:DJWolfy|<span style="color:Blue;">'''Wolfy'''</span>]] 19:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

== Here's a bigger map of  Oblivia ==
Hi, could you upload this map in the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Oblivia Oblivia] article on Bulbapedia? It's a much bigger resolution (1921 x 1364). I found it on the official Pokémon Ranger site as a background picture: [http://www.pokemonranger.com/guardiansigns/images/main_bg_large.jpg]
I would upload it myself, but I don't have the rights and maybe not the knowledge either. [[User:PokeAwesome94|PokeAwesome94]] 9 June 2012
:Nah. It's past our size limit, and the white on the sides hides the trench in the Eastern part of the sea. Ours is a perfectly acceptable size, and shows the entire Oblivia. [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 23:03, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
== Overworld sprites for B2W2. ==
Out of curiosity... you have them from the game itself? If yes, then remember to also get the OD sprites of any Generation V Pokémon that appear in overworld (as the 493 Pokémon from previous games have these from HGSS) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 20:40, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

== Is Courtney in Emerald? ==
I've noticed that {{bp|Magma Admin Courtney}}'s game sprite is noted to be in Pokémon Emerald Version, even though she never appears in the game (only Ruby). Is it still necessary to keep the Emerald tag on her? [[User:Iam.soviet19|Pokémon in Vietnam!!!]] ([[User talk:Iam.soviet19|talk]]) 03:09, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
== Ash's Pikachu ==
Could you upload the pic https://zapp.trakt.us/images/episodes/3152-16-1.jpg?28 on ASh's Pikachu's Bio I'm having trouble uploading the pic.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]]) 02:09, 7 July 2014 (UTC) --[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|talk]]) 02:09, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
