Custom sprites had caused many ups and downs to Bulbapedia. When this first started, it was not organized as a project, it was just something done for the sake of it. So one day, some people had gone against the sprites and declared that they did not like it. So in defense, some users defended the sprites, but used the wrong method, and instead, started a rebellion to force others in liking the sprites. It was later discovered that it was just one, big misunderstanding. So in result of this, {{u|Tavisource}} started the Custom Sprites Project to organize the making of the custom sprites. He had this project held under his user space. But when more people came and the page got too popular, the page was forced to move to a Bulbapedia project page. Things went smoothly from then on, until in October of 2008 when he went to the forums to ask about people's views on a certain sprite. At the end, the discussion turned out to be an argument about liking the sprites or not. The people who defended them used every method they could. And for the people against it, their reasons was that they were causing too much trouble. Seeing much trouble with the discussion itself, {{u|Tavisource}} and {{u|Kenji-girl}} closed the discussion with a compromise to settle the two sides. So then on, things went smoothly and more people came and joined the project. Now, the project has caught up with the current anime showings. As for the people who went against the sprites, most of them returned to apologize and admit their mistake. Now knowing that this problem had ended well, we still try to keep this issue down and ever from rising once again. As for the people who were for the sprites, they had not been on Bulbapedia lately to witness the growth of the custom sprite project. Many just hope that this project will come to a success and be included in the completion of Bulbapedia, one day. | Custom sprites had caused many ups and downs to Bulbapedia.
