Exactly how do you make battle animations, chipsets, charsets, etc. (or edit them) without having any color loss? Also, can someone let me know how to make a picture transparent in PSP 6? ;D I'm a newbie, eh?

PSP eh? You'll go far with that program. It's the one I use. Ok, I'm not sure about 6.0, but in 7.0 there's 2 things you have to do for transparency.
1. Under the colors palette choose decrease color depth to 256 colors.
2. Next under colors, click set palette transparency, and then choose set the palette to transparent entry
3. push the set palette transparency window aside then click the color you wish to make transparent.
4. After that just save the file as a png or bmp (but you already probably knew that)
Hopefully I could help. i use 7.0 btw, though I'd imagine 6.0 is similar to mine. btw Inquis, there are tutorials about this stuff online? Never knew that, I had to learn myself...

Well, I was actually meaning about making charasets and stuff. Like they will tell you how to start off by having 16 by 16 chips and then telling you how to do the expanding ones.

Thank you, Magikoopa, but what about the color?

I hate to say it, but there isn't too much you can do about the color. Either you should try something else, or live with it. In my Game, Lost Horizons, the original CMS graphic had over 10,000 different hues to it, and when I reduced the color it looked horrible. What I'm trying to say is, if you have say, 1,000 or so colors in your palette and you reduce it to 256 it shouldn't look too bad. But if there's far more, like I said above, maybe you should consider trying something else.
And Inquis, you said chara sets and stuff? I Must of missed that the first time. My mistake o_0
