Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, PBRMaster!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your uploading:

The Manual of Style, or MoS, outlines the format and guidelines of all images on Bulbagarden Archives.

All of our administrators are here to help! Talk to them if you have any questions or problems with the Archives.

Tagging images with correct licenses and categories is a must. These guidelines will help you learn more about tagging images.

Miscellaneous
  • Please read the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files.
  • Be sure to tag and categorize all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here.
  • Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing.
  • When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean.
  • Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives.
  • Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbagarden Archives.
  • In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive. Please be sure that the filenames contain alphanumeric characters only.
  • Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions.
  • If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at this guide.
 Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!

Pics

Good quality pics, but those pics you uploaded should be of a higher resolution. But I'll make an exception considering the Bartender's Houndoom pic you uploaded is for an info box. Oh- and watch out for those logos at the top of the picture. Can't have pictures with logos on them for any reason whatsoever. Thanks. --Hmdwgf 06:32, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Image Extensions

Hey PB, I noticed that you uploaded this image in jpg. Since you're new here, let me help you out with some basics:

Upload .png files instead of .jpg or any other type of file because .png is a higher quality format.
If you have any other questions or query, then you can contact our administrators. Thank you. --♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 15:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
This is your second notice, please upload your files in .png format instead of .jpg JelloTalk 16:53, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi, this is your third and final notice about uploading files in .png format, you've clearly been ignoring warnings so please listen this time. Don't forget to tag and categorize your images. Thanks. JelloTalk 18:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Since you haven't listened, you have been blocked for a week. Next time, please listen to us. ht14 19:06, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Porygon 2 and Porygon-Z.

Is that Japanese opening? ...I mean, they appear in both English dub and original version, right? Marked +-+-+ (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
