The '''Distortion World''' (Japanese: '''やぶれたせかい''' ''Torn World'') is the name given to an alternate dimension in {{game|Platinum}}, and the true home of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Giratina}}.

The Distortion World is first accessed when reaching [[Spear Pillar]], the summit of [[Mt. Coronet]], to stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to control {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. When the [[lake guardians]] are unable to handle both of them, Giratina comes and swoops on [[Cyrus]] to stop him from destroying both worlds. After Cyrus is taken away by Giratina, the {{player}} must follow him, and, with the help of {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}} and [[Cynthia]], navigate the area.

More of the 3D capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] are utilized in the Distortion World than elsewhere in [[Sinnoh]], with the strange physics of the world altered to a point where the player is able to walk on ceilings and {{m|Surf}} on water that is at right angles with the norm, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

When in the Distortion World, {{p|Giratina}} will be in its true form, the [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]]. The {{DL|type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}, found here, can be used to make Giratina assume this form outside of the Distortion World, where it would normally be in its [[Form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme]].

During the first visit to the Distortion World, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}} will guide the {{player}}, helping in the {{m|Strength}} puzzle.

==Geography==
[[File:Torn world.gif|left|thumb|Exploring the Distortion World]]
The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the [[Pokémon world]]. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]].

It is a dark place with platforms floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal {{wp|laws of physics}}: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

The world's rust-colored landmass is separated into tiny islands. Trees are spiky and incredibly tall, much like {{wp|giant kelp}}. Beneath the floating land, there is a spinning whirlpool of spacial clouds.

[[Cynthia]] and [[Cyrus]] theorize that this world was created by Giratina as a balance for the real world.

==Trivia==
[[File:Met DistortionWorld Cyrus.png|right|thumb|The [[Journal]] entry after defeating [[Cyrus]] in the Distortion World]]
* After defeating [[Cyrus]] in the Distortion World, the [[Journal]] reads "Met Distortion World's Cyrus!"
* An anime-exclusive place, the [[Reverse World]], may be the anime version of the Distortion World; both locations are home only to {{p|Giratina}} (in its Origin Forme).
* Although time is said to not flow here, events affected by time, such as {{p|Eevee}}'s evolution to {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, still occur.
** Also despite the lack of flowing time, the game clock counting total gameplay time will still add time spent here.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for {{wp|G4 (TV channel)|G4}}, it was revealed that Giratina and the Distortion World are personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}. The Distortion World's antimatter affects the real world's matter and vice versa, though they mentioned that antimatter is more fragile than real matter.
* The Distortion World was the only place in which a Pokémon that has used {{m|Transform}} could assume Giratina's Origin Forme in [[Generation IV]]. As no Pokémon besides Giratina could hold the Griseous Orb, all Pokémon that Transformed into an Origin Forme Giratina would immediately become Altered Forme outside of this area.
* Battling Giratina in the Distortion World is the only instance where a platform does not appear under the Pokémon, since the platform's introduction in [[Generation III]].
* In the Distortion World the player is able to go down a {{m|Waterfall}} despite not yet obtaining the correct [[HM]]. This is possibly due to the fact that gravity is not normal in this world, therefore, no extra effort is needed by the Pokémon to climb the waterfall.
* If you look at your town map while in the Distortion World it may say that you are in the are you were before you were in [[Mt. Coronet]].

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}, with close to the same body color as it. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its {{p|Gabite|previous evolution}}. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}es. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}} and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}}, it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries, as well as its species name.
[[Image:Garchomp Gliding.png|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Behavior===
Judging from its pre-evolution and Pokédex entries, they are territorial creatures and ferocious predators that will not hesitate to lash out at intruders nor will they allow its prey to escape.

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers, but they are seldom seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. She appeared again in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', and appearing briefly in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A female Garchomp is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP040|Garchomp|Ash's Pokédex|Garchomp, the Mach Pokémon. When it folds up its body and spreads its wings, it can {{m|fly}} like a jet plane at the speed of sound.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games, is a Garchomp. It first appeared by her side in ''[[PS347|VS. Roserade]]'', when she came across {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} training for the gym match with [[Gardenia]]. It later reappeared when she met the trio again in ''[[PS367|VS. Psyduck]]'', where it raced with its trainer to [[Route 210]], where a herd of {{p|Psyduck}} was blocking the way to [[Celestic Town]]. After Cynthia left to return a Psyduck that was separated from its owner by [[Team Galactic]], Garchomp was left behind so that it may protect her grandmother and the three children. When [[Cyrus]] invades the {{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}, it was instructed well enough to fight even without its Trainer, but was easily exploited by the megalomaniac.

==Trivia==
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, {{p|Pidgeot}} has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2 speed, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}} or even possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Air Slash}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.
* Similarly, Garchomp's HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokédex entries mention that its body is covered in fine scales, yet its Generation V [[Dream World]] ability is {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Garchomp is one of the only Pokémon that have their Shiny and Normal forms similar.

== =Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearance of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', earth, or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}'', a genus of sand shark.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knakrack - From ''knacken'' (to crack) and ''Racker'' (rascal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carchacrok - From ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'', scientific name of sharks, and ''croquer'' (to bite).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 한카리아스 ''Hankariaseu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈咬陸鯊 ''Liè Yǎo Lù Shā'' - Literally "Violent biting land shark". Contains 陸鯊 (land shark) like the Chinese name of its pre-evolutionary form, 圓陸鯊 ''Yuán Lù Shā'' (Gible) and 尖牙陸鯊 ''Jiān Yá Lù Shā'' (Gabite).

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}, with close to the same body color as it. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its {{p|Gabite|previous evolution}}. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}es. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}} and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}}, it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries, as well as its species name.
[[Image:Garchomp Gliding.png|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]

===Behavior===
Judging from its pre-evolution and Pokédex entries, they are territorial creatures and ferocious predators that will not hesitate to lash out at intruders nor will they allow its prey to escape.

===Habitat===
Garchomp are cave-dwellers, but they are seldom seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. She appeared again in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', and appearing briefly in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A female Garchomp is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP040|Garchomp|Ash's Pokédex|Garchomp, the Mach Pokémon. When it folds up its body and spreads its wings, it can {{m|fly}} like a jet plane at the speed of sound.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games, is a Garchomp. It first appeared by her side in ''[[PS347|VS. Roserade]]'', when she came across {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} training for the gym match with [[Gardenia]]. It later reappeared when she met the trio again in ''[[PS367|VS. Psyduck]]'', where it raced with its trainer to [[Route 210]], where a herd of {{p|Psyduck}} was blocking the way to [[Celestic Town]]. After Cynthia left to return a Psyduck that was separated from its owner by [[Team Galactic]], Garchomp was left behind so that it may protect her grandmother and the three children. When [[Cyrus]] invades the {{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}, it was instructed well enough to fight even without its Trainer, but was easily exploited by the megalomaniac.

==Trivia==
* Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, {{p|Pidgeot}} has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2 speed, twice the speed of sound.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}} or even possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}. Similarly, although Garchomp is known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}} (including Quick Attack itself).
* Despite Pokédex entries noting that, when in flight, Garchomp's wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Air Slash}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.
* Similarly, Garchomp's HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokédex entries mention that its body is covered in fine scales, yet its Generation V [[Dream World]] ability is {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Garchomp is one of the only Pokémon that have thier Shiny and Normal forms similar.
== =Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearance of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', earth, or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}'', a genus of sand shark.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knakrack - From ''knacken'' (to crack) and ''Racker'' (rascal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carchacrok - From ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'', scientific name of sharks, and ''croquer'' (to bite).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 한카리아스 ''Hankariaseu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烈咬陸鯊 ''Liè Yǎo Lù Shā'' - Literally "Violent biting land shark". Contains 陸鯊 (land shark) like the Chinese name of its pre-evolutionary form, 圓陸鯊 ''Yuán Lù Shā'' (Gible) and 尖牙陸鯊 ''Jiān Yá Lù Shā'' (Gabite).

{{Project leader|{{u|Tavisource}}}}
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better represent unique characters in the Pokémon anime and games by creating custom sprites of the said Pokémon. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project Custom Sprite==
Project Custom Sprite promotes the idea to conserve an organized system for the custom sprites we use on Bulbapedia.

===Participants===

===Structure===
*'''All sprites must be used on the encyclopedia.'''
*Sprites should represent the Pokémon's regular character design or at least a significant aspect of its character. There is usually not a need for sprites of rarely worn costumes.
*Sprites should be edited versions of the official Pokémon sprites from the current generation of games.
*As much as possible, all sprites must have the correct dimensions. (80x80 pixels)
*All sprites must have a transparent background.
*After completing a sprite on the list, please delete it so that others won't re-do them.
*Ideas that seem to be unnecessary could be stroked-out. (Use these to strike out ideas: <nowiki><strike> </strike></nowiki>.) All stroked-out ideas must include an explanation placed besides the stroked-out idea.
*When uploading a new sprite, [[a:Category:Custom sprites|categorize it on the Archives]] and then add it to [[Bulbapedia:Project Custom Sprite/To-do list|here]] along with its intended location on the mainspace.
*All sprites should have the artist's name visible on the image page and hidden on the project page. (Use these to write invisible text: <nowiki></nowiki>.) However, edits on the mainspace should not be signed.
*Spriters, if you decide to update a sprite, please replace the old one rather than uploading it to a new filename. This is so that the links to it don't have to be changed accordingly and to help prevent excess unused images on the Archives.
*If you feel a sprite is not good enough, consult the sprite's creator; do not overwrite their picture. If controversy takes place, discuss it on this page's talk page rather than engaging in a revert war.
*Most importantly, do NOT argue over sprites! Always contribute adequately according to what is best for EVERYONE.

===Goals===
* To complete all necessary custom sprites for all the unique Pokémon presented in the anime.

===Templates===

* {{Template|User Project Custom Sprite}} -- for project participants to place in their user profile.

{{User Custom Sprite}}

===History===
Custom sprites had caused many ups and downs to Bulbapedia. When this first started, it was not organized as a project, it was just something done for the sake of it. So one day, some people had gone against the sprites and declared that they did not like it. So in defense, some users defended the sprites, but used the wrong method, and instead, started a rebellion to force others in liking the sprites. It was later discovered that it was just one, big misunderstanding. So in result of this, {{u|Tavisource}} started the Custom Sprites Project to organize the making of the custom sprites. He had this project held under his user space. But when more people came and the page got too popular, the page was forced to move to a Bulbapedia project page. Things went smoothly from then on, until in October of 2008 when he went to the forums to ask about people's views on a certain sprite. At the end, the discussion turned out to be an argument about liking the sprites or not. The people who defended them used every method they could. And for the people against it, their reasons was that they were causing too much trouble. Seeing much trouble with the discussion itself, {{u|Tavisource}} and {{u|Kenji-girl}} closed the discussion with a compromise to settle the two sides. So then on, things went smoothly and more people came and joined the project. Now, the project has caught up with the current anime showings. As for the people who went against the sprites, most of them returned to apologize and admit their mistake. Now knowing that this problem had ended well, we still try to keep this issue down and ever from rising once again. As for the people who were for the sprites, they had not been on Bulbapedia lately to witness the growth of the custom sprite project. Many just hope that this project will come to a success and be included in the completion of Bulbapedia, one day.
====Avatar====
Some of you might be wondering why we use {{AP|Squirtle}} as our avatar. The answer is simple. Squirtle was the sprite that motivated this project in the first place, as well as one of the very first sprite that was worked on. It's that simple!

== Transparency! ==

It is imperative that any sprites uploaded to the Archives (and subsequently edited into Bulbapedia) are made tarnsparent. Transparency means that there is no white block around the image; the image's background automatically becomes whatever color is behind it. Single-color transparency and Alpha channel transparency are simple functions easily accessed on programs such as GIMP and Jasc Paint Shop. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:...and people should also remember that when they make the sprites transparent, ''that does not mean only the outer part''. I don't remember if all sprites are OK when it comes to Bulbapedia, but many tend to forget the white background not connected to the image edges. Also, Gen III sprites of {{p|Shedinja}} must have an intact crescent thingie; it is often broken since one of the used colors is white. UltimateSephiroth ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]) 18:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:::On that note: when setting transparency, find the value for "Tolerance" and set it to 0. This will cause the program to turn colors with ''exactly'' the same RGB values as the color you selected transparent. If the tolerance is high, the program may include some of the sprite in its transparency. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
::::A bit late, I know, but I was wondering if I should go through the Pokemon pages and remove the white backgrounds from the sprites. If so, what should I do for something like [[Mankey_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Mankey's sprites]], which only take up the least space possible, and are smaller than some of the [[Vaporeon_(Pokémon)#Sprites|other sprites]]? Should I expand them to fill the same area? If so, how should I align them (eg. four pixels from the left and bottom edges, like Vaporeon, or center the sprite)? '''Goldenpoke[[User:Goldenrod111|1]][[User_talk:Goldenpoke111|1]][[Special:Contributions/Goldenpoke111|1]]''' 18:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

== Help ==

The only sprites I can't find in a usable resource are Emerald shiny animations. Does anyone know a resource site with these animations?
Actually, I can't find the Japanese Red Version sprites either. Anybody? [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arceus''']] 21:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:(sorry, not shiny animations! ignore that)
:Also, I think I may add myself to this project.. But I have a problem as well. I was trying to reupload a sprite because I fixed the transparency issue.. but It wouldn't let me upload it? A weird error comes up. [[User:Snowrunt|[[User:Snowrunt|Snowrunt]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|♥]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|♥]]]] 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[[User:Snowrunt]]
::Your signiture is scary. Please make sure that all the coding is correct and that the raw signiture box is checked in your preferences (I think that's the problem). Anyway, is the error you're talking about "another version of this image exists?" If so, just choose to upload anyway. If that isn't what it is, take a screenshot or something so I can see what you mean. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 14:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

== Blurriness Issue ==

I've worked on 3 sprites for [[Gligar_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Gligar]]- the shiny backsprite, which was done completely on my part, and appears perfectly. Then there's the non-shiny front and back sprites- originally uploaded by someone else, I transparified them and resized them to specifications, and while they appear fine on their archive pages, they are stretched and blurry on Gligar's sprite chart. What is the cause of this, and how can I remedy this? I thought that I could help SpriteDex with screen capturing and Photoshop, but it seems to be backfiring with me finding a problem at every corner. -[[User:Stephen93|Stephen93]] 21:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:It's either the slow cache at Bulbapedia or it's your own browser cache. If you use Firefox, hold Shift key down and click the refresh button (or press Ctrl-F5) whenever you come across a blurry sprite. I'd remember it was Ctrl + click on the refresh button in IE, but I'm not sure. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 21:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== Ranger sprites ==

Although I know that it's posible to see them from many angles, perhaps we should get the sprites from their Browser entries?--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
:Absolutely. If you find any good resource for Ranger and/or Shadows of Almia, post it under the External Links/Resources. If we have sprites from the Pinball games, we should have sprites from the Ranger games. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 18:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

== I have some experience with game image extraction ==

And I mean directly from the game files. Provided the files aren't encrypted or compressed. I can provide my own illegal copyright infringement. I'm unreliable though (and I mean I will spontaneously forget everything about it, and it would be hard to get me back on track). If you care to annoy me by instant messenger, just try my obvious screen names for A/M/Y (Hotmail, as a hint for the middle one).

It will be infinitely easier than trying to teach myself decompression algorithms using the game's assembly code (which I'm doing for one game right now). --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:If ever we absolutely have to, then maybe. But the problem with Bulbapedia's sprites is not that {{tt|we can't find them online|Emerald shiny animations :p}}, it's just that people upload them the wrong size, w/o transparency, etc. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 02:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It's about half of the booster packs and a few of the missing character portraits. Most are tagged. Don't know if you guys have specifications, but I categorized them anyways. I'll put the other half soon. One last thing... If the bulleted chart thing on the category page disagrees with you, try to keep them on for a while, because it aids with the organization. Thanks. [[User:Kusanagi87|Kusanagi87]] 16:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
:Finished the TCG 1 card sprites.

== Uploaded Animated Lucas & Dawn ==

I don't know if this how accurate it is. I think the head is supposed to be more stationary.

I'll fix that soon. [[User:Kusanagi87|Kusanagi87]] 00:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== New Idea ==

Can we get the small player image? As in when the regular-sized character transforms to the mini sprite...I have an idea in mind regarding the FAME Checker. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts pertaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum]. Please also read the [[Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex/To-do list|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.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* '''{{u|UltimateSephiroth}} {{tt|(Hover to see the merits)|Jap RG sprite flipping, Y transparency/flipping, G transparency/size fixing and RS transparency/size fixing}}''' - Project Leader

* {{u|Kogoro}} - Well, since I've already fixed a few transparency issues, I guess I should add myself.
* {{u|Chocolate}} - Some of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] sprites we have are all wrong. All sprites should face the viewer, and most of the Gen. I sprites fail to do that. I fixed a lot of them in early October, and I want to help with the rest.

* {{u|jigglyppuff8}} - Adding missing sprites.
* {{u|Stephen93}} - Don't worry, I finally have it downpat! Helping with resizes and transparencies from Generations I and II, as well as uploading Gen. II sprites that are missing altogether.

* {{u|Gallevoir}}

===Structure===
Much of this project's work will involve the [[a:Main Page|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:
<nowiki>== Summary ==
{{gamesprite|Dex|Name|Sprite type|Game(s)|The additional S for "versions", if applies}}
== Licensing: ==
{{i-Fairuse-sprite-game}}</nowiki>
* 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 {{shiny2}} 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 <tt><nowiki>{{anipng}}</nowiki></tt> 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.

[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]] can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
WARNING! The link above contains thousands of images, so make sure your browser can handle the loading.

====Other templates====
* {{Template|Project SpriteDex notice}} - This template may be posted when sprite work is completed on an article, but it is not required.
{{Project SpriteDex notice}}

* {{Template|User Project SpriteDex}} - This template is for project participants to place in their user profile.
{{User Project SpriteDex}}

== Transparency! ==

It is imperative that any sprites uploaded to the Archives (and subsequently edited into Bulbapedia) are made tarnsparent. Transparency means that there is no white block around the image; the image's background automatically becomes whatever color is behind it. Single-color transparency and Alpha channel transparency are simple functions easily accessed on programs such as GIMP and Jasc Paint Shop. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:...and people should also remember that when they make the sprites transparent, ''that does not mean only the outer part''. I don't remember if all sprites are OK when it comes to Bulbapedia, but many tend to forget the white background not connected to the image edges. Also, Gen III sprites of {{p|Shedinja}} must have an intact crescent thingie; it is often broken since one of the used colors is white. UltimateSephiroth ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]) 18:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:::On that note: when setting transparency, find the value for "Tolerance" and set it to 0. This will cause the program to turn colors with ''exactly'' the same RGB values as the color you selected transparent. If the tolerance is high, the program may include some of the sprite in its transparency. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
::::A bit late, I know, but I was wondering if I should go through the Pokemon pages and remove the white backgrounds from the sprites. If so, what should I do for something like [[Mankey_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Mankey's sprites]], which only take up the least space possible, and are smaller than some of the [[Vaporeon_(Pokémon)#Sprites|other sprites]]? Should I expand them to fill the same area? If so, how should I align them (eg. four pixels from the left and bottom edges, like Vaporeon, or center the sprite)? '''Goldenpoke[[User:Goldenrod111|1]][[User_talk:Goldenpoke111|1]][[Special:Contributions/Goldenpoke111|1]]''' 18:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::Never mind, I found the "[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]]" link in the "'''Goals'''" section. '''Goldenpoke[[User:Goldenrod111|1]][[User_talk:Goldenpoke111|1]][[Special:Contributions/Goldenpoke111|1]]''' 23:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

== Help ==

The only sprites I can't find in a usable resource are Emerald shiny animations. Does anyone know a resource site with these animations?
Actually, I can't find the Japanese Red Version sprites either. Anybody? [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arceus''']] 21:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:(sorry, not shiny animations! ignore that)
:Also, I think I may add myself to this project.. But I have a problem as well. I was trying to reupload a sprite because I fixed the transparency issue.. but It wouldn't let me upload it? A weird error comes up. [[User:Snowrunt|[[User:Snowrunt|Snowrunt]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|♥]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|♥]]]] 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[[User:Snowrunt]]
::Your signiture is scary. Please make sure that all the coding is correct and that the raw signiture box is checked in your preferences (I think that's the problem). Anyway, is the error you're talking about "another version of this image exists?" If so, just choose to upload anyway. If that isn't what it is, take a screenshot or something so I can see what you mean. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 14:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

== Blurriness Issue ==

I've worked on 3 sprites for [[Gligar_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Gligar]]- the shiny backsprite, which was done completely on my part, and appears perfectly. Then there's the non-shiny front and back sprites- originally uploaded by someone else, I transparified them and resized them to specifications, and while they appear fine on their archive pages, they are stretched and blurry on Gligar's sprite chart. What is the cause of this, and how can I remedy this? I thought that I could help SpriteDex with screen capturing and Photoshop, but it seems to be backfiring with me finding a problem at every corner. -[[User:Stephen93|Stephen93]] 21:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:It's either the slow cache at Bulbapedia or it's your own browser cache. If you use Firefox, hold Shift key down and click the refresh button (or press Ctrl-F5) whenever you come across a blurry sprite. I'd remember it was Ctrl + click on the refresh button in IE, but I'm not sure. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 21:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== Ranger sprites ==

Although I know that it's posible to see them from many angles, perhaps we should get the sprites from their Browser entries?--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
:Absolutely. If you find any good resource for Ranger and/or Shadows of Almia, post it under the External Links/Resources. If we have sprites from the Pinball games, we should have sprites from the Ranger games. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 18:24, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

== I have some experience with game image extraction ==

And I mean directly from the game files. Provided the files aren't encrypted or compressed. I can provide my own illegal copyright infringement. I'm unreliable though (and I mean I will spontaneously forget everything about it, and it would be hard to get me back on track). If you care to annoy me by instant messenger, just try my obvious screen names for A/M/Y (Hotmail, as a hint for the middle one).

It will be infinitely easier than trying to teach myself decompression algorithms using the game's assembly code (which I'm doing for one game right now). --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:If ever we absolutely have to, then maybe. But the problem with Bulbapedia's sprites is not that {{tt|we can't find them online|Emerald shiny animations :p}}, it's just that people upload them the wrong size, w/o transparency, etc. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 02:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''characters in [[Pokémon games]]'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

If you have any direct questions to the founder, please post them at [[User talk:PsychicRider|his talk page]].

==Project CharacterDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].

Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[moves]] and [[abilities]]. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].

Last, but not least, Project CharacterDex aims to upload '''ALL''' sprites from the games.

===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

====Article Layout====
Under CharacterDex's new canon system, the games section of characters should go first. Sections should go:

'''==In the games=='''
'''===In <nowiki>{{game|GAME NAME}}</nowiki>==='''
'''====Pokémon Party===='''
'''====Quotes===='''
'''=====Locations====='''
'''==In the anime=='''
'''====Voice actors===='''
* '''Japanese'''
** <nowiki>[[Japanese Characters</nowiki> ''<nowiki>[[Japanese VA]]</nowiki>''
* '''English'''
** <nowiki>[[English VA]]</nowiki>
* '''Other'''
** <nowiki>[[Other VA]]</nowiki>
'''==In the manga=='''
'''===<nowiki>[[Pokémon Special]]</nowiki>==='''
'''====Pokémon===='''
'''===In Pokémon "other manga"==='''
'''====Pokémon===='''
'''==In the TCG=='''
'''==Names=='''
'''==Trivia=='''

=====Exceptions to the Article Layout=====
Despite the fact that all characters will be given this treatment, there are some exceptions to this new rule:
:Characters who are anime-exclusive, ie [[Sakura]], [[Daisy]], [[Violet]], [[Lily]].
:Characters who debut in the anime, only appearing in the games due to that.
:Important main characters from the anime, ie [[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Giovanni]].

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts pertaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum]. Please also read the [[Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex/To-do list|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 attentions on the new sprites.

All correctly categorized game sprites can be found [[a:Category:Game_sprites|here]]. However, nontransparency is easier to detect on the individual pages for each Pokémon.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* {{u|LordArceus}} - I do {{tt|this stuff|For all games: Transparency fixes, flips, providing sprites in place of links, size fixes}}...
* {{u|UltimateSephiroth}} ''Having a break now (playing Card GB 2 for a change) {{tt|(Hover to see the merits)|Jap RG sprite flipping, Y transparency/flipping, G transparency/size fixing and RS transparency/size fixing}}''
* {{u|Kogoro}} - Well, since I've already fixed a few transparency issues, I guess I should add myself.
* {{u|Chocolate}} - Some of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] sprites we have are all wrong. All sprites should face the viewer, and most of the Gen. I sprites fail to do that. I fixed a lot of them in early October, and I want to help with the rest.
* {{u|ShinjiLover}}
* {{u|jpp8}} - Helping out with transparencies and resizing.
* {{u|Stephen93}} - Don't worry, I finally have it downpat! Helping with resizes and transparencies from Generations I and II, as well as uploading Gen. II sprites that are missing altogether.
* {{u|LilRed}}
* {{u|Tavisource}}-Who ever took me off of this list? I worked really hard uploading the Platinum sprites.
* {{u|Alec9}}-Hi.
* {{u|Lightlowemon}} - I can help every now and again.

* {{u|Kusanagi87}} - Meh. Sure, Wynaut? Working on TCG 1 card sprites, etc.
* {{u|The Dark Fiddler}} - I can upload screencaps of non-animated pre-gen IV sprites, but someone else will need to edit them out.
* {{u|Mclena45}} - I can upload most sprites. I'm an experienced spriter and can get a lot.
* {{u|Roryrules123}} - I can find sprites to do.
* {{u|YukitoOoO}} - I've never done this, but I'd really love to help!! {{tt|;)|this means, I'm gonna need some help, somebody to explain me, ALL I know is where and how to find emerald shiny sprites!}}
* {{u|Galladeon}} - {{tt|I do a lot of <s>shit</s> stuff.|I transparented about half the accessory sprites with Pixen, and am working on transparenting Crystal sprites. Next will be uploading needed sprites if I can find them.}}
* {{u|Craig*}} - I Have never made a sprite,I want to help a make this project TOP!
* {{u|Batista}} - I can provide missing and transparent sprites.
* {{u|Usyflad10}} - making sprites transparent.
* {{u|Eeveelution Lilly}} - I'll help when I can.
* {{u|YronK9}} - Experienced Spriter. I'll help when I can.

===Structure===
Much of this project's work will involve the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]]. Please make sure you know how to upload and replace images properly before doing so.

====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.

[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]] can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
