• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Pokémon Sprite BBCodes

At the Cave of Dragonflies forums, users can post Pokémon sprites in posts or signatures using special BBCodes.

The basic code is this:

[sprite=VERSION]POKÉMON[/sprite]

In place of VERSION, insert one of the following:

rs - for the Ruby/Sapphire sprite
e - for the Emerald sprite
frlg - for the FireRed/LeafGreen sprite
dp - for the Diamond/Pearl frame 1 sprite
pt - for the Platinum frame 1 sprite
bw - for the static Black and White front sprite
xy - for the X/Y model as extracted from screenshots
oras - for the OR/AS Pokédex sprite
sm - for a unified Sun and Moon sprite
sm-dex - for the full-size Sun and Moon dex sprite if one exists, otherwise the OR/AS Pokédex sprite
party - for Gen VII party icons

In place of POKÉMON, place the lowercase name of the Pokémon whose sprite you want to display, with all non-alphanumeric characters stripped (the Nidorans become nidoranm and nidoranf). Note that it (and the version) has to be correctly spelled or it will simply result in a broken image. If you want to show a non-default form of a Pokémon, you can use POKÉMON-FORM, replacing FORM with the form name, specified as follows:

#201 Unown: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, em, qm (note: Unown forms only work for D/P and R/S)
#351 Castform: fire, ice, water (note: Castform forms only work for D/P and R/S)
#386 Deoxys: em, fr, lg (note: As R/S and Emerald only have one sprite of Deoxys each, they are not treated as forms; in FR/LG, the form can be specified as fr or lg, and D/P naturally has all four forms)
#412 Burmy: ground, steel
#413 Wormadam: ground, steel
#421 Cherrim: sunny
#422 Shellos: east, west
#423 Gastrodon: east, west
#479 Rotom: fire, water, ice, flying, grass (note: Platinum only)
#487 Giratina: origin (note: Platinum only)
#492 Shaymin: sky (note: Platinum only)
#493 Arceus: normal, fire, water, electric, grass, ice, fighting, poison, ground, flying, psychic, bug, rock, ghost, dragon, dark, steel, unknown
All Pokémon with both a male and female sprite in D/P: f


Keep in mind that only the Red/Blue/Yellow Pokémon, Teddiursa and Deoxys have FireRed/LeafGreen sprites and only the first three generations of Pokémon have R/S and Emerald sprites.

Examples:

[sprite=rs]charmander[/sprite] [sprite=e]charmeleon[/sprite] [sprite=frlg]charizard[/sprite]

becomes

charmander charmeleon charizard

[sprite=rs]deoxys[/sprite] [sprite=e]deoxys[/sprite] [sprite=frlg]deoxys-fr[/sprite] [sprite=frlg]deoxys-lg[/sprite] [sprite=dp]deoxys[/sprite] [sprite=dp]deoxys-fr[/sprite] [sprite=dp]deoxys-lg[/sprite] [sprite=dp]deoxys-em[/sprite]

becomes

deoxys deoxys deoxys-fr deoxys-lg deoxys deoxys-fr deoxys-lg deoxys-em

[sprite=dp]butterfree-f[/sprite] [sprite=dp]arceus-flying[/sprite] [sprite=dp]unown-a[/sprite] [sprite=dp]cherrim-sunny[/sprite]

becomes

butterfree-f arceus-flying unown-a cherrim-sunny

[sprite=pt]giratina-origin[/sprite] [sprite=pt]shaymin-sky[/sprite] [sprite=pt]rotom-flying[/sprite]

becomes

giratina-origin shaymin-sky rotom-flying

All these sprites come directly from the games so it is safe to use them for editing purposes if you like.
