Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex

UltimateSephiroth is the leader of this project. Please direct any questions about Project SpriteDex or its actions to this user.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts pertaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the Bulbapedia forum. Please also read the to-do list. Project SpriteDex Scope and aims Project SpriteDex aims to complete and perfect Bulbapedia's sprite library. In short, any links where images should be must be replaced with the proper image, and any sprites with white backgrounds must be made transparent. Whenever the next generation of Pokémon games is released, the project will focus its attention on the new sprites. Project SpriteDex also aims to get animated sprites for games this applies to; currently the main series games with animated Pokémon sprites are Pokémon Crystal, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions. While GIF is currently used for the Crystal and Emerald sprites, eventually the support for this old format will be dropped in favor of animated PNG images. One more aspect of Project SpriteDex is to get every sprite in Bulbagarden Archives to be correctly categorized. There are still many sprites without the correct templates added to their pages.

Structure Much of this project's work will involve the Bulbagarden Archives. Please make sure you know how to upload and replace images properly before doing so. Regular Pokémon sprites The correct format to categorize regular Pokémon sprites (the ones starting with "Spr") is as follows: ==Summary== {{gamesprite|Dex|Name|Sprite type|Game(s)|The additional S for "versions", if applies}} ==Licensing:== {{i-Fairuse-sprite-game}} Dex is the National Pokédex number for the Pokémon. Name is the English name for the Pokémon, or if the English name of the Pokémon is not known yet, this is the name the Pokémon article at Bulbapedia has. Sprite type tells what kind of sprite it is. There are several different types, which are as follows: all - This one goes for every regular sprite of Generations I to III, and for those regular sprites that apply to both genders in Generation IV. shiny - This is for sprites of Shiny sprites with no gender differences. male - This is for Generation IV sprites' male versions. shiny male - The above one with shininess. female - The same as above, only with female versions. shiny female - You can guess this one. Game(s) are the versions the sprite is from, for example "Platinum" or "FireRed and LeafGreen". Add an S to the last parameter, if you put paired games to the Game(s) part. Otherwise you may omit the last parameter. If the sprite is used in multiple games (counting paired games as one game), put one copy of the gamesprite template for each of the games. If the sprite is animated PNG, add the {{anipng}} template to the description. Goals To provide sprites of every Pokémon for every Generation To change all nontransparent sprites to transparent To make sure each sprite is correct in terms of size, orientation, etc. This page can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
