::Some of them might also be difficult. Like the Training Bags, which are kind of random, and the Amie decorations/wallpapers, which would require significant "grinding" to collect in full (I can tell you how to obtain everything, the only reason it isn't a page yet is because of some small doubts I want to shore up). For the hair styles and clothing, to get ''everything'', you'll need to either have two games with your players having different genders, or else reset one to make that happen. I can lend you the Discount Coupon or Berries for Amaze Mulch (and/or for growing anything) if you need them.

::P.S. If you do want to contact me about anything sometime in the future, I check Bulbapedia much more often than here.

::::On [[:File:Box Forest VI.png]], you just cut off the right edge. You should ''delete'' the blue part outside the box curve so that that area is transparent, just like Pokémon menu sprite backgrounds and [[:File:Box Machine RS.png|other wallpapers]].

:::::Unfortunately, this is not a clear cut and would need a Chroma Key or something. With my capabilities, it looks [http://imgur.com/awYj486 like this]. Maybe I should just edit the team in such a way that it is empty and just leave it in?
::::::IMO that's not too bad...
::::::Perhaps it would be nice to leave a set of untouched images somewhere in case someone else can clean them up better, but I think the example you showed is a fair (if not "perfect", sure) image. ...One reliable way you ''could'' do that would be to upload the images like you have been and then re-uploading them with the blue parts made transparent (and someone could just grab the original versions if they ever wanted to reedit it), but I'm not sure staff would approve of that. If you want, you can just take the question of how you should deal with this to a staff member. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:58, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
===Natural objects===
The [[:File:XY Natural Object Red Berry Tree.png|red]] and [[:File:XY Natural Object Pink Berry Tree.png|pink]] Berry trees look almost exactly the same... Do you think you could grab pictures of them in the daytime and see if those turn out better? (Honestly, it would be nice if all the pictures were during the day... If grabbing screenshots during the day isn't convenient for you, you could perhaps change your 3DS's clock. Daily events might get disrupted for a bit, but the stuff like weather/sun should operate just fine.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:00, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
::Yeah, after one of them I wasn't even sure which it was. Daytime is a good idea. Why don't I ever have such a simple, good idea? :/ I will update them soon, am currently to lazy to change the clock - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|My talkpage]] 17:07, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
:::I'm noticing a couple things in battles with natural objects that might be useful for when you take screenshots. One is that when Pokemon attack, their HP bars briefly disappear (I have move animations turned off at the moment as well, which means no extraneous effects). Another is that when I throw a Poke Ball, the camera angle can get a pretty nice closeup of the natural object (and, again, with no HP bar), especially as the Pokemon escapes the ball. I don't know if any of that would be easy to capture, but maybe you can check it out. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:07, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

:Hey, that's a good idea! In fact, Lumiose's Background cut the filesize in half - to a little more than 4MB. Based on that, I remembered that the Lost Hotel has even less background, and true enough, it cut the filesize again... *drumroooooll* to a bit more than 2MB, even for such a simple move like Astonish. It will probably work for even simpler moves like Tackle or Pound, but the others... can you possibly think of an even plainer background? - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|My talkpage]] 12:02, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

::That's awesome! Well, the Battle Institute [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALeFOY8zOrA appears] to have a similar background, it could be a bit smaller (although it's harder to quit; it'd probably be easiest to just soft-reset). I think that might be the generic indoor background ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3UqDcHt17U&t=11m00s Gyms], {{bp|Lumiose City restaurants}}, and {{bp|Kalos Route 18|Inver}} have it as well), but I can't think of anywhere else indoors with (convenient) battles.

:::Unfortunately, that one is again 4MB, I guess because of the gradient and whatnot. I will search some more, but I guess it's back to static images except for the likes of Tackle or so... - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|My talkpage]] 14:44, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
