What is meant by incorrect transparency, and the absence of a pause between the first and last frames? I think I'm missing something here, so I'd appreciate your enlightenment.

:About the incorrect transparency, I get the feeling you are using No$GBA, which leaves black patches lying around the animation. If you look at the image again, you might notice little black patches around the orbs of electricity, and the actual lightning doesn't appear to fade out properly. Desmume, on the other hand, does not leave those little black patches, and so I would suggest switching to that{{tt|.|If it animates like this on the DS, then feel free to skip this paragraph.}}

:About the pausing, if you look at, say, [[:File:Blast Burn IV.png|this image]], there feel like there is a small break between the start of the animation and the end of the animation. Having no break gives it a slightly rushed feel, which we don't want. Just give a delay of about {{tt|a second|Or half a second, I can't remember which}}, and that should make a lot of difference.

::Well, thanks for the absolutely illuminating explanation. I've switched over to DeSmuME for the purposes of APNG move creations. I owe you a debt of thanks :-) Regarding the "pause", I would think one full second at the end (essentially enough of the last frame copied over again to amount to one second) should do, and especially after seeing [[:File:Thunderbolt IV.png|this image]]. Thanks. I'll have a new APNG of Thunder prepared, and let you see take a look to see if I've "got it".

::P.S. If you can, could you recommend somewhere for me to upload the APNG other than Bulbagarden Archives for the time being? I don't want my APNG being wrong anyway and, for lack of a more delicate term, stuffing up the image history like it did a few hours ago. <span class="sc">'''[[User:Haxorus|<span style="color:#968428;">Hax</span>]][[User talk:Haxorus|<span style="color:#4C4646;">or</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Haxorus|<span style="color:#800517;">us</span>]]</span>''' 17:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

:::All right, the new APNG is up, with transparency emulated through DeSmuME and with a pause between the start and end.
