Alright, now it's time to have a discussion about whether the new ''Pikmin 2'' artwork images are actually necessary. They may be much higher-resolution than the old images on the wiki, but are they higher-quality? I'd argue no. The large size exposes many weird artifacts that make large blocks of color and gradients look strange. The low-resolution images are smooth in comparison. The artifacts are probably a consequence of the printing and scanning process, and are visible on the scan of the guide you got the images from. The file format is also not ideal, as the scanned pages have lossy image compression, so the main benefit of PNG is undermined. And then there's the fact that many of these images have blocks of color near the edge because they overlap with screenshot boxes in the guide. This alone makes these images much worse for demonstrating the enemy's appearance, since people will notice the box. I appreciate the work you did to get and upload these images, but it's hard to say whether we actually need them. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 22:59, June 5, 2023 (EDT) | Alright, now it's time to have a discussion about whether the new ''Pikmin 2'' artwork images are actually necessary.

:I'd say they're worth keeping due to how the lower resolution images have terrible contrast issues and a weird green tint, but yeah, your points are valid. What's really needed is a full rescan of all of the treasure and enemy artwork, like what happened with the Ken Sugimori Pokemon artwork of all the Pokemon from gen 1 and 2. Also, the reason why I saved all the artwork as .pngs in the first place is so that if and/or when higher quality versions of all the pieces of artwork are found, all that'll need to be done is pressing the "Upload a new version of this file" button a bunch of times. -[[User:Gulliblepikmin|Gulliblepikmin]] 08:14, June 6, 2023 (EDT) | |||
