I do! On my Sprites how do I make them look transparent to Pokebeach's Background?
You have to use GIMP or Photoshop. Paint can't do transparency.

I have Gimp so can you give me a short tutorial?
Also isn't there a specific color code I could put into Paint to make it transparent to the site?

Just so everyone knows, the old sticky will be restored. I'll keep this open for now, but it will be locked once the original is back.
On GIMP you would just select everything that isn't the sprite and delete it. Oh yeah, there probably is a specific color code for PB.

Paint doesn't support transparency, period. If you open a pic with transparency in paint, all the transparent parts become solid colour.
For a pic to be transparent, it needs an alpha channel (without one, any erasing will simply result in the background colour of the pic, rather than actual transparency). The image format obviously also needs to support transparency so don't encode in formats like jpeg.
