Thread: Suggestions, ideas, and problems

These are the animated sprites for the Champions.. I hope I could upload them soon....

did you make them, or get them from another site?

I ripped the leaders and champions.. but I edited and got the trainer sprites from Pokecheck.org..

1st things first.. when exactly will the Archives be unlocked? I've been waiting for ages!

2nd.. Since B2W2s release I've been doing the APNGs for the maps. An example is here:

I just wondered (when I can actually upload again) whether or not I should upload them over the current maps? Including the areas in BW1 that are still in B2W2 (So not Unity Tower and all the rest)

I hope the archive will open soon.. it's really hard to rip and edit sprite animations...

@gaspershut; Those sprites you posted aren't correctly sized. The minimum dimensions for Gen V animated Trainer sprites are 80px width and 80px height. If you fix up the dimensional issues, we can look into uploading the animations.

@s2daam; APNG for the B2W2 minimaps isn't much of a concern at the moment, it's more important just to get a highlighted map up even if it's static. Areas that changed location in B2W2 compared to BW will be getting new filenames, but the convention hasn't been decided. Areas from BW that are still in the same spot of the map should be uploaded over the BW version of the town map. Additionally, the URL in your post isn't a direct image URL and needs to be used with the URL BBCode tag rather than the IMG tag.

For both: Like I noted a few days ago, we don't have an opening date at the moment and apologize for the delay in comparison to the Bulbapedia lock. A lot of the work that required the Archives lock is still in progress, which is slowing down opening the Archives up. When the work is complete, we will open the Archives up for normal business and announce that the lock has been rescinded. Until such announcement is made, please be patient. If you have anything needing immediate upload, you can contact and request and upload from any active Archives staff member via Bulbapedia, Forums PM, or any additional contact formats they may offer for Archives related inquiries.

I've already edited all of their dimensions... but some like Marlon can't be put into 80x80 dimension due to their sprite animations including Bianca in which her arms causes it to exceed...

Here, I'd like it seen as filename Beartic Runny Nose

It is broken. We already have a Beartic with rhinorrhea pic (uploaded it today), being used as an episode header.

Just noticed that both Weavile and Froslass are referred as being the fastest Ice-type Pokémon on their respective trivia, although Weavile's base speed is higher than Froslass' so it should only point Weavile as the fastest Ice-type.

This thread is about the Bulbagarden Archives, not Bulbapedia. For Bulbapedia issues, you need to use this thread.

The Bulbagarden Archives are now unlocked for standard business. Please note that editing and uploading regarding Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 sprites are still restricted until such time as the Archives site notice says otherwise. Please remember to add proper summaries, licensing, and categories to all uploads, as well as to follow all Archives policies.

We thank all of our contributors for being patient with the temporary upload & edit lock.

Right now I have 2 ideas:

-For the navigation in all the Bulbagarden websites to be easier, I suggest that now, whenever a user logs in one of the websites, he/she also becomes automaticaly logged in all of the other sites from the Bulbagarden network in which an account was made (well, the problem is that the passwords may be different for all of the accounts, so here is my solution: from now on, it would be mandatory to always have the same password. For the ones who already have more than one Bulbagarden account, the first login screen since this update would ask the user if he/she wants the update for his/her account. If the person replies "yes", then the screen would tell the player to first change the passwords in a way they could be the same, after they log in those accounts. Problem solved, right?);

-I think this second idea is really mandatory if we want Bulbapedia to keep being an amazing Pokémon wiki: There should be an update to the Archives, so that after that all the basic music formats would be supported. Result: Everything you can imagine! Everytime there's an article talking about something in Pokémon that has a specific music, without any need of a normal video (specialy the ones about locations), instead of being there text-only descriptions, the music would be displayed in order to end all the doubts. Wouldn't that be amazing?

@gaspershut has been doing a fine job uploading animated trainer sprites, but I think that some sprites, such as the new Plasma Grunts, should have separate, non-animated sprites for use with templates such as Template:Trainerentry to reduce loading time on the pages they're used on.
