:::Huh, that's really interesting, although a bit complicated. About the static sprites, it's better to have ''something'' rather than nothing, right? The spriting community animates in .gif anyway, so we'd still be stuck converting them to apng. Not many people know how to animate in the apng format, so it's usually one person doing them all. Not many people upload either. FTP access would make this a hundred times easier, but you know how wikis are. :P Thanks for explaining things. <span style="color:red">—<small>♥</small></span> <b>[[User:Jello|<span style="color:orange;">Jello</span>]][[User Talk:Jello|<span style="color:#3FA9D0;"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</b> 17:31, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

::::Only the description I put to it is complicated; essentially, it's a computer being made to do something exactly the way a human would, only slightly more efficiently. : ) Regarding static, yes, I suppose anything's better than a blank space. Now, on the matter of converting, I can deduce from the way you spoke there that the administration here at Bulbapedia doesn't consist of a single programmer; this notion utterly baffles me. Rest assured, when the time comes, I'd be happy to make perl turn all the .gif files into APNGs automagically. ^_^ —<font face="Times New Roman">'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|<span style="color:#ab2742;">hexagon</span>]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|<span style="color:#60809f;">THEORY</span>]]'''</font> 17:41, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
