:Bulbapedia, besides being more well know is the actual encyclopaedia, a lot of editable information.

Wow. No one bothered to talk about Bulbagarden Archives. SeanWheeler 16:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm going to. I don't know why nobody has yet, but as long as it's okay with everybody else, I'm going to start double checking all my facts, and editing.ShadowCloak789 07:54, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

sound files

Do you know what Bulbagarden Archives needs? Sound files. If you need to hear the cry of a pokémon, record it's cry. If you need to hear background music, rip off a song from the soundtrack. SeanWheeler 16:06, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

No ripping of soundtracks. Nintendo would kill us. The cries are already set to go, we just don't have the ability to put them on the Pokémon pages yet. We will. Soon. Okay? TTEchidna 19:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Unlocked?

When will the archives be unlocked, since the other (bulba) wikis have been unlocked? PattyMan 02:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I just saw the deadline on the Messages from the editor page. PattyMan 03:05, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Active

Just curious, why is it that there are more users active on bulbapedia than the archives? PattyMan 18:27, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Bulbapedia, besides being more well know is the actual encyclopaedia, a lot of editable information. The archives however is essentially for image storage, and new users can't upload if I recall correctly, and as such all they can really do is edit image descriptions. --Spriteit 14:33, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

XY Release

The archives still seem to be locked from non-Bulba staff "in preparation for X and Y." This seems to be useless now that the games are released worldwide, and many images are still needed (sprites, maps, etc.) Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 19:50, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I completely agree. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 07:45, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Posting

So I'm really new to this editing thing but a have a good picture for Thunderbolt and not really sure how to post stuff on Bulbagarden Archives. I read the guide to bulbapedia so I understand how to change the text and that a need to post a picture on Bulbagarden Archive to use it but I'm still confused on how to get a picture onto Archives so that I can use it. - unsigned comment from Bobbywashear2 (talkcontribs)

You may want to consult the Archives and its policies, in particular its FAQ. I believe you need explicit approval to upload 3DS screenshots as well, and/but surely the Archives' staff are more of an expert than I am. Nescientist (talk) 01:37, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
