Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have asked a Bulbapedia staff member about this.

== X and Y Pokemon models. ==


I noticed you've uploaded images of the models of all(at least I think you got them all, I just checked a bunch of random Pokemon from beginning to end) of the Pokemon in X and Y, are there plans for these to be added to the pages for every Pokemon under sprites or maybe a new second listed as "models"? If so when what ever way is decided I'd be willing to help add them to the pages, unless that is all figured out of course.

[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] ([[User talk:ArchedThunder|talk]]) 05:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
:Not all of them, I received help from {{u|Spriteit}} (who ended up doing more than I did), and {{u|Kogoro}}. Yes, there are plans to add them, but we're waiting until Kogoro states that we are ready to begin the transition. As for permission for you to add some of them, I don't see why not in my opinion; but you have to wait until what the aforementioned happens, because this isn't going to be just adding the models onto the articles. So I'd ask you to be patient until then.

:Yes. Would be wise to ask {{u|Kogoro}} first, though. [[User:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #3363FF; text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #aaa"><sc>'''Masatoshi'''</sc></span>]] [[User_talk:Masatoshi|<span style="color: #ED3B3B; font-family: Times New Roman;">''talk''</span>]] 16:57, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
::I actually commented at the Spinoff page.  And haven't heard further.  Last I asked, a couple of days ago, it was still being worked on.
::I can pick up from Victini onwards as I think from there on can be done rather quickly, so I can quickly edit my list that I compiled from Rumble World.  The only thing missing is Wii U, and your updates don't include that or Gen. VI.  So still lots missing, I didn't think it was ready to use yet.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:05, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
:::The templates are up to Generation VI and are there, you don't see them because they're uncommented. You can do that, but I still think it would be wiser if you ask Kogoro before doing anything.

::::Exactly.  [[User_talk:Kogoro/Spinoff#Games Where Not Available?|That's kinda what I did here]], though I haven't heard back.  Both Rumble games I made same as Rumble and Rumble Blast, and Shuffle matches Trozei.  I didn't add Battle Trozei as I don't have its data compiled, though I did eventually buy the game and could go after it eventually.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:15, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 
== Ash's Charizard ==
 
Hi Masatoshi. I think I found a better image for Ash's Charizard but I am unable to upload it due to it being protected and I was wondering if you could do it for me. The image can be found here. Thank you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vrj3nyr3bbppm7w/Ash%20Charizard.png?dl=0 --[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] 01:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hi. Upon inspecting your image and comparing it to the current one, I've decided that the original one is better in terms of quality than your image, since your image contains artifacts around the body and in the action lines. Furthermore, and in my personal opinion, I'd like the image to contain the full body, without missing part of the wings. Thank you for understanding.

== X & Y Games and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire battle sprites ==
 
Many battle sprites of Pokemon in the four games that I mentioned in the headlines are missing from the Pokemon pages on Bulbapedia. It's too long for me to list, but you and Spriteit forgot to upload the remaining images for the four games mentioned in the headline. Do you think you can find and upload the missing battle sprites (You might have to look at each of the various Pokemon pages on Bulbapedia to know which pages are missing images? Examples of Pokemon missing battle sprites includes Gyarados and Steelix. The missing battle sprites (in national Pokedex order) start at the page of Venusaur and end at the page of Hoopa.[[User:Ctc1017|Ctc1017]] ([[User talk:Ctc1017|talk]]) 15:50, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late reply, but apparently Spriteit has talked to you somewhere else.

== XY & ORAS sprites ==
Some of the sprites from XY are also used as ORAS sprites on bulbapedia, but on the page of the sprite isn't said that it a sprite of ORAS is. Is that OK, or not? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 16:37, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
:It's not okay, apparently there has been a halt regarding the tagging of ORAS models. We'll retake this project, starting probably this weekend. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

== Can you do a favor for me? ==
 
Hi, I've just uploaded a new version of File:Cast of characters.png on the archives, but my computer lagged and accidentally uploaded the same image twice and also did something with reverting the image.

==VSPortraits==
I just uploaded those cropped vs artworks because actually Juan also doesn't have an official vs artwork since he is geniii character only and it was uploaded one for him a long time ago. I thought that was permitted because this vs portrait weren't deleted at any point and kanto e4 and hoenn's bf were with old sprites of ten years ago while he doesn't, so I uploaded thinking on make the pages more attractive and those characters to not being the only with old sprites. It was not my intetion to make anything illegal or that would hurt bulbapedia's terms, I just did it because I thought it was permitted since another user did it and didn't have the vs artwork deleted. ([[User talk: HilbertCalderon]] 01:34, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:Don't worry. You didn't know. The reason why I asked you is because those crops don't exist in the games, as you said, he doesn't have an official VS Artwork. Who is the one you say didn't have his images deleted? I'll take a look at it.

==Dealing with Evil Trolls==
I hate PokémonGamer for his constant trolling and recent bullying, calling me dumb for being a good Samaritan. We know he'll come back again. I've read that on several different wikis, they have a thing where they block the troll's IP address to prevent them from creating any more account.
 
Also, this guy is completely dumb. Some of his sockpuppet account state that they're "not PokémonGamer", which is the dumbest way to give out their identity. Also, can you hide the edits done by the evil troll for my talkpage, please? [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] ([[User talk:UxieLover1994|talk]]) 22:21, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

== About Animated PNG files ==
 
I have a huge question I'd like to ask you. Do you know how I could make the Animated PNG files smaller than 2MB? 'Cause I've noticed that the Bulbagarden Archives doesn't allow uploading of files larger than 2MB, and I'd really like to upload a PNG animation which is 6.72 MB in size. But I've tried every possible way I can make it smaller without any loss, but the lowest I can make it... is 5.27 MB. I've tried compressing standalone .png files and then putting it together with APNG Assembler, but it makes it become 10 MB in size. What should I do? Is there anything you use to make Animated PNG files smaller in size without any frame skipping?—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 21:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:Try [https://sourceforge.net/projects/apng/files/APNG_Optimizer/ APNG Optimizer], you may find better luck. If it's a Generation VI move, it's not worth it. I've tried it before.

::It made the file bigger. It's now 6.78 MB. I wonder, how come did you upload the animation of the [[Rain|thunderstorm and hurricane]] from B/W? It's well over 2MB and it's roughly about one megabyte lower than mine. And why did you upload it if no file over 2MB is allowed?—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 08:55, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Then there's a lot going on in the animated file (backgrounds moving and whatnot). Is it from Generation VI? And regarding the big files uploaded in Archives, it's because I'm part of the [[a:Staff#Senior_administrators|staff]] and thus I can circumvent the limit.

::::That makes sense. Anyways, the file that I wish to upload is showing the effects of a Slumber Trap in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. It was meant to be used on the [[Dungeon tile#Traps|Traps]] section of Dungeon tile. [http://www.megafileupload.com/rpZQ/animated.png Here's a link to the animated file], [http://www.megafileupload.com/rpZP/animated.png the top screen version of it] and a [http://www.megafileupload.com/6rgv/top_and_bottom_screen.zip .zip file containing the frames], [http://www.megafileupload.com/rpZL/top_screen.zip and the top screen version of it].

:::::It's a Nintendo 3DS image, for size reasons, we're not uploading animated files that come from the Nintendo 3DS console.

::::::I haven't uploaded any animated images yet, but I have uploaded model images of traps and tiles that appear in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. And wait... do I actually have to have permission to upload any images from '''any''' Nintendo 3DS games? I didn't know it applied to all 3DS games, I thought it only applied to Generation VI games.

::::::::While it's mostly for Generation VI images and media, Gates to Infinity is still a 3DS game. Since we've ran into people uploading images from other people, we're taking measures to ensure that the pictures are from the users themselves and not taken from outlets without permission. It's just for you to be in the clear and free from suspicion. That's a good step regarding verification, I would have done it with {{u|Kogoro}}, but Zesty's a good choice, too.

:::::::::That's understandable, it might also be a good idea to change the message, as well as make an update in that notice that appears before uploading files. Since it only states "Generation VI", a user may end up uploading a 3DS image from Generation V, without knowing that the policy applied to all 3DS games, just like what I did.

== about castform ==
 
ah, so there's a source to that? i did digging of my own and found nothing pointing to castform being artificial, if there is evidence then the issue is a lack of citation. maybe in the trivia section? [[User:Snow rat|Snow rat]] ([[User talk:Snow rat|talk]]) 22:51, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
:There is. It's a line in the Hoenn games where a Team Magma grunt states that the Weather Institute had created a Pokémon that had something to do with the weather. At first, I had to check before undoing those edits because I didn't recall an actual mention of it being an artificial Pokémon. I believe that it being an artificial Pokémon is bigger than the trivia section, since it's an important part of the Pokémon itself, much like Mewtwo, Genesect, the Porygon line, among others.
