Okay, this has been a fairly long time coming for me. I do not like the images that are known as "grabpics". These images are taken from an episode screenshot and altered. Often, these images are altered too much, with the colors being almost completely wrong. It is my preference to use actual episode screenshots over these kinds of images as the screenshots are official, grabpics are not. It will definitely take a while to replace all of these images but I personally believe it should be done. Unofficial images shouldn't be used on the wiki. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 18:06, February 27, 2015 (EST)
