So I was doing my doing my daily walk around the wiki, downloading textures and using them for god knows what.

And I stumbled upon these "things" called textures, event hough they were not.



So I was really disappointed to see that these textures that I think cavia unpacked were called "textures" even though they're a portion/not the actual thing.

It's like putting up a toy on display on a shelf, while the other half behind is missing. It's "misleading". This texture with no HD background is known as a texture missing an alpha channel but most unpackers are too damn lazy to filter it.

I know I'm being harsh, but Blooming Heart's page was made not very long ago and I made my blog with Blooming Heart's HD Texture long before Blooming Heart's release.

I hope you boys know what that means. That means that people are getting used to this...THIS garbage that people called textures, and not the actual ones I posted, or others did.

And that's not good. So my vote here is to make these alpha channel missing textures noncanon since they're not the actual textures. to figure out what I mean by alpha channel, and how to filter, check out ErnestoAM's video on unpacking textures (his method is currently inaccurate as of now, but his method of filtering is correct, do please check his video out)

Also for those who end up finding the alpha channel (white version of the sprites), contact me if you're clueless on how to filter the textures.

Second Argument (small one)
So I was doing my daily walk around the upcoming content page until I noticed someone had said that the CARD TEXTURES/ CARD FACES are HD. Which is obviously not true. Heck, the 300-pixel HDs we provide are still debated to be called HD. These are not HD, these are card faces (as referred in the code), or card texture. They're the little picture you see on a card. There's a whole file on these things. What I'm getting at? Non-canonizing it too. These are not considered "HD", they're very low quality, and they don't display the full image, and for those who will use the removed PvZAS Argument, the thing.

This sprite does exist in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, but not as a Full-Body, or HD texture/sprite. More like a cardface. These appear on the textures of certain cards, and on a different file. I don't feel like calling this HD would be considered correct.
