Tried it, still isn't letting me.

The one it let you, you had previously uploaded as a separate file which got merged into the existing one by @Maverick Nate; Because you uploaded it, it lets you replace it with a new image (called reuploading by the software). Because you didn't upload the Zebstrika card image, the software won't let you replace it until you become autoconfirmed. This requires a few uploads and a short time delay, and is to prevent spammers or vandals from replacing existing images with something inappropriate.

Movie DVDs
File:M?? DVD JP.png
File:M?? DVD US.png
File:M?? DVD AUS.png

Movie Posters
File:M?? teaser poster.png
File:M?? poster JP.png
File:M?? poster EN.png
File:M?? poster KOR.png
File:M?? poster CHI.png

Movie Logos
File:M?? teaser logo.png
File:M?? logo JP.png
File:M?? logo EN.png

Pikachu the Movie Posters and the Pikachu the Movie movie logos

Even the characters could do with a rearrangement. But obviously it would be a big task. Changing links, plus the fact that some of the files are on Bulbanews protected articles. Maybe it's just my OCD but I do think it should be done. While it's up to whoever if they wanted to do it, it would probably be easier to do it before X and Y are released, since there will be lots to do after.

I've noticed this too, and I think fixing the titles of the movie posters and logos would be a good idea. However, I would also suggest adding EN/JP/etc. to the end of the teaser posters/titles as well (although they will probably only be Japanese).

The only other one that would be difficult to do would be M14 due to being two movies.

Are there any tutorials on how to remove the watermarks from anime screencaps? I'd be happy to upload some if I knew how to get past this problem.

Watermarks are designed to be difficult to remove. Typically you just take the screenshot again.

I see. I'll go ahead and put Barry on those pages. If there are any others, please list them.
So I don't think any of the Gen IV or V back sprites have the {{animated}} template (except for the D/P Duskull I just did), so that's 1142 image files (1-473 in Gen IV and 1-649 in Gen V) I don't plan to tackle.
As for front sprites, not too many are animated png's. That's another 1142 image files needing review.

So I just did the two you requested, Gen IV Duskull back and Gen V Duskull front.

Does this page needs to be update with those information? Which site does we get the 5th gen sprites, Pokecheck or Armaina? Can a bot convert all the animated sprites from GIF format to PNG format and replace all the unanimated sprites?

List of things need to be added:

- animated Gen 3 backsprites and shiny?
- animated Gen 4 backsprites and shiny
- animated Gen 5 frontsprites, backsprites and shiny (Have a difference between BW and BW2)

On this page, the french name of this Ampharos is missing : Amphy - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

In french, it is named "Phary", from its french name "Pharamp" or "Phare", meaning lighthouse.

It was added. Thank you! One thing, this suggestion should have been posted in this thread.

Woops ! I'll remember that for next time x)

Are there any plans to use the Gen I and Gen II menu sprites? I found a series of Japanese blogs that detail which Pokémon correspond to each menu sprite.

つれづれな日　手持ちアイコン調査 初代編
つれづれな日　手持ちアイコン調査 金銀クリスタル編 -前-
つれづれな日　手持ちアイコン調査 金銀クリスタル編 -後-

If we can confirm the accuracy of these blogs, we could possibly revamp the menu sprites to resemble a format similar to the footprint sprites.
