Help uploading covers

Hi, I'd like someone to upload some covers for some movies on this page. I have 3 photos in need of uploading-

> "M20 DVD cover Region 1"- Needed to complete I Choose You's section. Get photo from here: 51zV7TDjqVL.jpg

> "M20 Blu-Ray cover Region 1"- Needed to complete I Choose You's section. Get photo from here: 91iph8LshgL._SL1500_.jpg

> "Movie 9 Amazon Edition Cover"- Whether or not this is included is up to the administrator. The only difference between the standard edition cover and the Amazon Edition over is a 'Bonus Pokemon Advanced Battle DVD' sticker, but I still feel like it's worth adding to the site. Get photo from here: 61kkjEOf6NL.jpg

All three photos are from Amazon listings, and all three will have to be converted from JPG to PNG. I'd do all this myself, but I'm not verified/approved to upload images to the Bulbagarden Archive. If someone who is verified can take care of this for me, that would be much appreciated. The code is already in place, just add the photos (and remove the hidden-text brackets on Pokemon Ranger's Amazon cover code), and everything should work fine.

Thanks in advance! Ericbazinga (talk) 15:36, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Exactly what bonus disc was included in the Amazon edition of Pokémon Ranger?

So I picked up a used copy of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea today at my local video store, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was the special 3-disc version sold off Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/yb4ervn5). Having read and edited this Bulbapedia page before, I was familiar with and especially excited about the bonus Advanced Battle disc it's supposed to come with, especially since Advanced Battle is one of my favorite seasons. (Also, the theme is super catchy.) But instead of Advanced Battle, I was greeted with Pokémon All-Stars Volume 1 (Pikachu). Not only is that unfortunate since I already own the Indigo League box set and therefore the bonus disc doesn't offer anything I don't already have, it confused me as to why it was different. Both Bulbapedia and the Amazon page claim it comes with an Advanced Battle disc, but according to Amazon product photos I'm not the only one with an All-Stars disc. So it isn't a simple case of the original owner swapping discs out or something. According to other Amazon reviews, the set did originally come with the Advanced Battle set. I got curious and checked to see if PokemonCenter.com was offering an alternate exclusive version with the Pikachu disc, and they weren't.

My conclusion is that earlier special editions of the Amazon edition came with the Advanced Battle disc, and when they ran out of those they made some more with the Pikachu disc (I guess they had a bunch of unused stock copies or something). Of course, my conclusion is only a theory, so I'd appreciate it if those who also have Amazon editions of Pokémon Ranger would please verify when they bought it and what disc they received. We might be able to figure out when the transition between the different editions occurred, in order to add it to the Bulbapedia page. Any other information pertaining to the subject is also much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Ericbazinga (talk) 02:38, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
