:It does matter, last time I checked Serebii didn't like having his images taken, and neither would any other site. Also, the reason I asked is, these specific images come from a press kit that's usually e-mailed to the media, and as far as I know only Serebii (from the Pokémon fandom that is) actually receives these press kits. Right now Bulbanews is in the process of getting these press kits as well, but for now we can't have people taking these screenshots from other sites. (Unless they appear on the official site themselves) I hope you understand. [[User:Jello|Jello]]<sup>[[User talk:Jello|Talk]]</sup> 19:51, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

::A lower-quality version of this image was in the most recent CoroCoro issue, so it's not like it's a completely new image that hadn't been revealed before. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<font color="black"><small>S</small><sup>h</sup><small>i</small><sub>n</sub><small>y</small> <sup>N</sup><small>o</small><sub>c</sub><small>t</small><sup>o</sup><small>w</small><sub>l</sub></font>]] 19:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Couple of things ==
that went wrong when you uploaded those screenshots. First, the filenames are not alphanumeric. Second, they should be in .png format, NOT .jpg and finally, you went over the size limit of 1080 by 1080 pixels, which is conveniently placed on top of the site.
You have been here long enough to know the rules by now. [[User:Jello|Jello]]<sup>[[User talk:Jello|Talk]]</sup> 01:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
:Also, upload it right the first time before you revert a JA. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''Psy'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 02:00, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
::According to the upload page, the main problem is with multi-byte characters, ''not'' other single-byte characters. Why should the files be in .png when the original source was .jpg? Finally, why is there a limit on image dimension? Wouldn't a limit on file size make more sense? --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<font color="black"><small>S</small><sup>h</sup><small>i</small><sub>n</sub><small>y</small> <sup>N</sup><small>o</small><sub>c</sub><small>t</small><sup>o</sup><small>w</small><sub>l</sub></font>]] 02:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
:::The upload form clearly states "ONLY USE ALPHANUMERIC CHARACTERS, DASH, AND UNDERSCORE IN YOUR FILENAMES." Brackets are not in the alphabet, brackets are not numbers, brackets are not dashes, and brackets are not underscore. It's really not that hard to understand. Don't use them. PNGs keep the image together so it appears clearer in the thumbnail, jpgs are just ugly. As for the image dimensions, we're not in charge of that rule, Nate made that rule. So next time you want to upload, do it right the first time, and don't revert us, thanks. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''Psy'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 02:23, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Brackets: I don't care. The upload form also clearly states that ''only'' multi-byte characters will break the system.
::::Dimensions: The image resolution limit was created because of bandwidth and other similar concerns; a limit on file size would be more logical.
::::Revert: There's no reason not to revert you; you're just a regular user. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<font color="black"><small>S</small><sup>h</sup><small>i</small><sub>n</sub><small>y</small> <sup>N</sup><small>o</small><sub>c</sub><small>t</small><sup>o</sup><small>w</small><sub>l</sub></font>]] 04:12, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::We'd appreciate if you'd follow the rules, just like the rest of us. You don't know why the image resolution was created, so please don't assume things. As for reverting, Psy is a Junior Admin, and I myself am an Administrator, if you cared to check. Please follow the rules that are set here, or don't upload.

::::::::We've put up with your crap long enough, both on the Pedia, and the Archives. I don't know who you think you are, but it's not going to fly with Jell or me any more. We're tired of you treating the staff, regardless of their rank like crap. Enough is enough. You had better care about brackets and the rules if you want to continue to edit on the Archives, understand? You have a problem with the dimensions, fine. Bring that up with Nate, he'll gladly shoot you down nicer than we will. And as for reverting, you were already banned from BP for a week for that. Reverting here is just as bad here as it is on BP, especially with a [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=jr-admin Junior Admin] or Jell who is an [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop Admin] , who are more important than you. I don't know why you think that will fly here on the archives, but it won't. I've had it with your arrogant behavior and it is going to stop, cause we're not going to tolerate it on the Archives. --[[User:PsychicRider|<span style="color:#78C850;">'''Psy'''</span>]][[User talk:PsychicRider|<sub style="color:#F85888;">'''ライダー'''</sub>]]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|<span style="color:#C4E673;">'''☮'''</span>]]'' 04:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
== Relax ==
It's generally a good idea to listen to people who know what they are talking about rather than argue with them. Jello is an Archives Admin, she knows what she is talking about. Shape-up or ship-out. If the stupid bytes vs. alphanumeric argument is that big of a deal, I will clarify the form in question. No alphanumerics, no jpgs, and no backtalk. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]]<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>[[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 04:26, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
