In answer to that last part, their levels at that point in the game aren't viewable when playing the game, but are almost certainly stored in their game data. That is why someone need to look into the code.

I assume uploading a 17 MB image would be less than desirable. Anyone have ideas about how can I reduce the size of this sized APNG without changing it to frames and lowering the quality of the frames?

If possible, open the file in GIMP and without touching it, save it as it is. It worked for me and decreased the file size without killing the quality.

Try reducing the number of frames...17mb is a bit too much. There are also many png optimizers available, you just have to Google them.

The only problem is that most of them don't keep APNG intact.

Also, you wouldn't be able to upload a 17MB file; it exceeds the 2MB upload limit.

Anyone paying attention should have noticed that we've started moving the back sprites to a new standard to allow for differences between games as opposed to having one per generation. We need your help in uploading missing sprites as a result of the move. Keep a look out here for things you can do to help.

Does anybody know where this image came from?

It brings to mind Ranger or Mystery Dungeon...

Editing is currently locked to staff only, due to the release of Pokémon Black and White.
Please keep deletions and moving to a minimum and focus on Generation V for the time being. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Does anyone know, roughly, how long the restrictions are going to be in place?

probably until a bit after BW is in place. due to massive server stress we had to lock it down to non-staff.

The main picture of Fushide that is connecting the Venipede page on Bulbapedia seems to still be active and it's name is still at the top of that page. I think the picture will go down if someone tries to change it. Just want to give the heads up.

We're aware and we're doing our best, but we're swamped with so much moving and so little admins on to help move.

You know... for, like, all the maps and stuff from the versions... on the Archives...? How does everyone manage to get them from the games onto the Archives? If I could somehow get knowledge of this... my upload count on the archives would definitely go up, so if anyone knows how to get all the map stuff up (or even just a screenshot), that would be most certainly helpful.

What I can work with:
I have a DS Lite and DSi and am hoping for a 3DS in a bit. Also I have a Mac that has an app that can run most EXE programs if need be.

It's Mystery Dungeon, or Pokemon ranger art for sure. Just can't figure out from which one. But it could also be a pointless file, it's got no licensing either.

When ever I upload a new version of a file, oh say... this It becomes squashed and blurry. Even though It usually fixes on its own it's still anoying.

The squashed and blurry is your browser caching the old image, but using the new image's size for it. You could possibly set your browser to never cache images and see if that works, but that will probably slow down loading times for all webpages.
