I uploaded an English version of [[:File:Pokéwalker battling.png]], exactly as I found it [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-heartgold-and-soulsilver-versions/ here] ([http://assets12.pokemon.com/assets/cms/img/video-games/heartgoldsoulsilver/screenshots/hgss_ss9.jpg image]) (except for trimming it and making it a png). That image had a gray tint, not unlike the Pokewalker's screen. {{u|Abcboy}} is expressing concern about the battle image's colors matching the [[:File:Pokéwalker items.png|other image]] on the Pokewalker page, which likely came from [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/hgss/pokewalker/05.html?p11090=navichild here], where the images do indeed use pure black and white. If you ask me, though, that's a fairly trivial concern (heck, they'll still be in different languages either way...). As something of a purist, I just don't think the image should be essentially altered from how it was found. My problem is, I don't know if the Archives have any rules or anything about this. So I bring the question to staff: is the whitened image OK? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:14, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

:To me, it isn't much of a big deal with the gray tints on the Pokéwalker screen images, its not like they're blurry or anything. However, since a majority of the English version ones have the grayish background, it should be kept that way, and the Japanese ones keep the white background. The Archives do have a rule regarding drawing on images, as they should be left the way it is instead of drawing on them.

::Just an addendum, was trying to keep it consistent not only with that image, but also with images like [[:Category:Pokéwalker route images]] and [[:File:Pokéwalker Settings.png]]. But I understand, the images should be kept the same as when they came from the official source. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:19, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
