4067 says you should never resize by hand, only use the resize tool that allows you to resize by a scale

4070 is going to, once again, plug this guide, and stress the basic rules indicated for working with Pokemon sprites:

"1. Do not save them in .jpg format. Even if somebody is holding a gun to your head.
2. Do not resize them. Magnify them for working with them, but do NOT resize them.
3. Do not mix sprites with other types of artwork or even different styles of spriting (sprites with more/fewer colors, sprites with drastically different styles, etc.).
4. Sprites are small. If you're spriting in Paint, then for the love of all things holy, resize the image frame down to fit around the sprite.
5. The only tools you should use on them are a one-pixel pencil tool, maybe a slightly larger eraser tool (which must, in better paint programs, be in Pencil mode), a Paint Bucket tool that definitely has anti-alias off, and some selection tools that also have anti-alias off. Basically, don't use anything anti-aliased on a sprite. Anti-alias is when instead of being blocky and pixely like a sprite, it's soft and blurry. Paint has no anti-alias, if that's what you're working in, so don't worry about it if you're using Paint.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

4077 points out that Josiah did not make a typo but was correcting the number because a certain Blue Fire Cyndaquil messed it up a few posts ago.
