:::::There have been a couple of problems and issues with the moves you've been doing. If the image is from Platinum, leave the summary as is and don't change it to say it's from HGSS. If the file name has IV at the end, and there's no difference between the moves between the same generation then there is absolutely no need to move it to HGSS when the screenshot is clearly from Platinum, Diamond and Pearl or whatever. In addition, we do not want duplicate files. I have run into a page where some shitty DP image was being used when there was actually a perfectly good looking Platinum image available. Again, if there's no difference in the move graphics, get rid of the duplicate, don't just move it to some other name. Please carefully look over what you're doing and moving. The naming standard is IV by default. If there is a considerable difference in the graphics of the move in the SAME generation then there can be another image for that particular game, otherwise each move should only have one image PER generation.  <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange;">Jello</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#3FA9D0;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</b> 00:43, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Request ==
I like your pictures. Mind if I make a request? Could you please upload pictures for the missing gaps in {{bp|J's henchmen}}'s pages Pokémon template. I'd be glad if you could do that, thank you. :-) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:51, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
:No problem. Uploading the missing images of the Pokémon that belong to J's henchmen.
::Great work, thanks. Now, here's another one: {{bp|Ash's Pikachu}} used an improvised "Leer" in ''{{bp|EP009|The School of Hard Knocks}}'', that we have a picture of already. Now, the problem is that we don't have a picture of that when Pikachu "really" used the move in ''{{bp|EP150|Hour of the Houndour}}'' while battling a Houndour. Could you upload a picture of that? If you can, of course. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 15:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I have uploaded a picture of Pikachu using "Leer" on behalf of your request. As an added bonus, I uploaded an image of {{p|Houndour}} using {{m|Leer}}. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 19:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Thanks, you're one awesome uploader! Now, could you do the following: could you upload a better version of {{red link|:File:Regirock using Lock on.jpg|this image}} and possibly also an image of Registeel using the same move (the point is that the Regirock image has low quality, but a better version of it and the picture of Registeel could be used to fill in the template on the moves page and the move templates on {{bp|Brandon's Regis}} page (Regice already has three images, so I would like to fill Regirock and Registeel's templates as well))? And if possible, could you also upload pictures of Brandon's Regirock and Registeel using some moves, so I could fill their move templates?<br>Sorry if this explanation was too long, but I hope you understood it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Your recent power up was so you could help with Black and White, not do other stuff. Please refrain from doing anything but the current task at hand.

:I tried moving some of the BW stuff but they were taken. Secondly, there were other people doing the other task as well. Where did you get the English names from for most of the Pokémon? <!--Now that I got your attention.--> [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 12:42, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
::We still have lots of work left for BW, please focus on that for now only. We're under a lot of server stress so we need to keep moving and deletions to a minimum.

== Creating Pokémon categories ==
Do not forget that when you add the {{cat|Pokémon artwork}} category that you also add the Ndex number and the Pokémon name. An example may be seen [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Category:Frillish&action=edit here].

== Moving Eyecatch ==
I saw that you wanted to move a few eyecatches, such as the Diglett's Cave one. I did most of the coding for that, so the image would have to be redirected for the time mechanism on each page, do I really don't think it is worth it in the long run. Just a thought.

:Not a problem. I requested them to be moved because of the apostrophes. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 23:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
==Regarding TCG==
Do not move the TCG cards please unless the cards are in English, and you know of the format the cards are in (which is File:<Pokémon name><expansion name><expansionnumber>.jpg (or whatever the extension is).

Stop moving the anime images when you can't change them in the process.

::::That was a one time thing. Ataro did not start or approve an image move. It should come down to whether or not you can edit Bulbapedia.

== Improper tagging and various shenanigans ==
Hi, whereas I appreciate the hard work you're doing, you need to start checking before deciding to do what you do. First of all, <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=File:Ash%27s_nefarious_facial_expression.png&diff=next&oldid=112348 this]</span>, I'm not going to object about the categories, which are correct, but about the {{template|move}} tag... ''We Don't Really Need Stuff Named Like This'', it's improper grammar, the filename alone is correct.
Second, {{Red link|:File:CassidyDP.jpg|this}} (this will be brought back to life) has no links in here, but <span class="plainlinks">[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:CassidyDP.jpg this]</span> '''does''', as you see, it's linked to an user page, and they still might want it, it's not really cool to delete them. Third, but related to second, <span class="plainlinks">[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ash%27sHatAG.jpg this]</span>, alright, it is a jpg, but as you can see, it's being used by a crapload of users. No. Fourth, you keep on re-uploading .jpgs as .pngs, an issue you've been having a lot, try not to do that anymore. [[User:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #224a9a"><b><span style="color: #2b5fc7">M</span>asatoshi</b></span>]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #118eb2"><sub><small>''talk''</small></sub></span>]] 03:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
:Doesn't grammar not count on file names (the apostrophe is not allowed on them)? As for {{red link|File:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|this image}}, I placed the delete tag to tell someone to replace the image on the pages with the png before the jpg got deleted. I was aware of it being used. I don't know if the rule was passed but I saw other users that deleted the images that were being used by some users. [[User:Pattyman|Pattyman]] 03:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
::For future reference, please don't go ahead and start doing something because you saw some other user doing it.
