Welcome

Welcome to the Bulbagarden Archives, Tiddlywinks!

By creating your account you are now able to upload images to help Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Before you jump in, take a look at these helpful tips: Uploaded images must meet several requirements. Please see the upload form and/or manual of style before you upload a new image. All images need categories and license tags. Save time and fill them out as you upload. There are many different licenses - be sure to pick the best fit. Use meaningful filenames. Make them descriptive so that searchers can find your images easily. Personal images are no longer allowed. Any personal images found will be deleted on sight. If you don't have any images to submit, you can still help out. If you have any more questions, see the FAQ or ask a staff member.

Thank you, and have a good time uploading here!   ㄱ쉰 G50 15:32, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Just a note

It is preferred to use pngs for screenshots rather than jpgs. We recommend a program such as GIMP to convert if needed. Thanks. --Pokemaster97 02:52, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Really? You want me to convert images that are jpg's on the official XY site (where I grab them from) to a png format? I've always thought that sort of thing was just misleading. If a file was saved as jpg, converting it to png won't increase the quality, which seems to me the reason for preferring png's. I suppose the FAQ actually mentions thumbnails, but does that hold the same if you're converting the file from jpg to png, rather than saving it as png from the start?

Yes, they should be converted even if it was a jpg from the original/official source. It makes them easier to replace with cleaner shots later. Additionally, please note that it isn't necessary to note that the image came from the official site in your file summaries either, it's good that you're sourcing, but we typically don't have external links in the file summaries. --Pokemaster97 16:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Storage Key

Is there any difference in the Gen VI Storage Key sprite from the Gen III one, other than one having more whitespace than the other? --SnorlaxMonster 09:44, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I have no idea. I haven't tried any sort of comparison (and I'm not off the top of my head sure how to reliably do so). Mostly, I just really didn't like using a file supposedly for Gen III in Gen VI. I suppose the Gen VI title could have been redirected, though, and/or the base image moved (to what I'm not sure), and then a second item template put on the page with the Gen VI key items link.

The colors from Tiddlywink's icon are slightly brighter than the Generation III icon, so they are different. --Abcboy (talk) 16:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
