I think this should serve us well. I just gotta make some tweaks and then we gotta get all of the sprites.

Okay, it works fine for Pokémon with numbers lower than 400. After that, the MS sprites are .png. That's a problem... unless we can make it so that if ndex < 400, it's .gif, and ndex > 400 it's .png?

Remember to set the Gender to "None", instead of both. Both is only for Pokémon that actually have a gender difference - none goes for Male and Female only Pokémon too. Putting both, male or female sets a "m" or "f" next to the filename and such, so even if the D/P sprite is uploaded, it won't show up. Just wanted to put this up here.

There seem to be an awful shortage of R&S Sprites. As they all appear to just be inanimate Emerald Sprites, they can't be that hard to get, can they? Maybe someone could start on that? I would myself, but I'd probably be breaking some rule. --[[User:Vladek|Vladek]]

I dunno if the Trozei sprites should be in this... they don't really ''fit'' with the rest of them, which are main series sprites. Plus, the placement... um, is not good.

I was looking at Deoxys' page and I realized that for the Gen III Attack Forme and the Defense Forme, the Template is using the sprites from Ruby and Sapphire and they show the Normal Forme.

But here's the coding for it when I return tonight...

All front sprites from Gen I are reversed, this caused problems with the Poliwag's family as some users thought that the swirls changed directions between generations and added that to the trivia (and maybe they'll add it again)... should I fix all of them?

I think this template should be moved to "Template:Sprites", because you're obviously gonna see more than one sprite on any page using this template. So, I decided that we should do a vote to see if the template should be moved or not. Please vote for either "Move" or "Don't move" with your reasoning, and be sure to number your comments. --[[user:Baby G|<span style="color:#FF4500;">Baby G]]</span> <small>([[user talk:Baby G|<span style="color:#D1E231;">talk to me]]</span>)</small> <small>([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|<span style="color:#B87333;">see my edits]]</span>)</small> 13:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

The Johto and Hoenn Pokémon sprites are exactly the same in FireRed and in Ruby, with the only exception of Teddyursa and Deoxys. Why doesn't the template show the same Ruby sprites for both?

Is it better to make a new template for that or not?

I am pretty sure this is already being made but we need to fix the template so that the B/W Pokémon sprites with formes can be put in. - [[User:050294|050294]] 07:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh of the things that irks me about this template is the fact that if a Pokémon isn't in a Gen, the table repeated tells you "not in this Gen," "not in this Gen," "not in this Gen." Is there any way to modify this template to appear more like the [[template:availability]] and [[template:dex]] templates? Because I'm looking at [[Koaruhie]] and we don't need a list of Gen I games, Gen II games, all the way to four, when all you need is a roundy replacement of those in the same way Dex and Availability have. If there's no means to, that's fine, but if there is means, name all the good reason you can that we need to be reminded times for that Koaruhie wasn't in any game in the last fifteen years.

::::Thanks. The Unown formes aren't an issue, we don't have their sprites form Gens IV or V either. Not to mention Deth wants to cut out the bigger time-based switchers. Japanese sprites that's good, I can code up ''yet another'' sub-template. I hate formes. Registeel. . . It's EU DP sprite is the same as it's worldwide Pt sprite isn't it? So we can probably just ignore that a bit. Animated. . . I dunno. We don't want the animations to end up overdone.
