:::Whats the stance on the images from the card database from the official pokemon site? I saw a couple of pictures take from the pokemon tcg online (so not entirely clean images), and since they now list the promo cards (XY-on) in this database, I think we can fill in a lot of the newer cards that miss pictures if the images in the database are up to quality.[[User:Donkey-er|Donkey-er]] ([[User talk:Donkey-er|talk]]) 11:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

::::The database images are too small for what we want, and all the official images remove any Holofoil pattern the real cards have. Scans are ultimately what we want in the end, due to their more accurate representation and their larger portrayal of the artwork. Anything taken from the PTCGO is ultimately temporary and only uploaded for their use on Bulbanews. We typically have an image for every card the instant the card pages are created, it's more of a matter of quality now. If we're going to be replacing images, both me and the image servers appreciate doing the highest quality from the start! No reason to do a bunch of work just to have to do it again later.

== Radical proposal for TCG card articles. ==
I think that whenever a Pokémon Powers/Poké-Body/Poké-Power/Ability or attack is referenced by name it should be italicized. We follow that format on all the deck archetype articles. How come reference to them in other essences is not italicized? Especially under "Trivia sections. I know, that is a TON of articles; but consistency and flow are very important.
