but I don't know if there is an extra pixel on one side or the other, and I don't want to screw it up.
You shouldn't really have to worry about this happening. Probably 95% of games, pokemon included, are going to use some kind of equal width/height formula, usually taking the form of a multiple of 8(16x16, 32x32, etc.)
So if you have a large overworld that's 30x32, it's a safe bet the real dimensions are 32x32
Now, with that said, it seems like the r/s/e/fr/lg ones throw a curveball and make them different. Based on a sheet from LG, it seems the limit is 16(width) by 20 height, and that's for characters and smaller pokemon. The bigger legends seem all over the place though, as they seem to all be 24x24, but then normal form deoxys jumps up to 32 for width, for some reason.
So basically, my advice would be go to a rom hacking community, they should have your answer in no time.
You can either a) save some animated sprites to your harddrive and open those files on Photoshop. Treat them like you would in any animated work. The second option "b)" is to use the sprite sheets on this site and work the animation by yourself. The former choice is less time-consuming.I have a question i know this may sounds crazy im not sure where to go with this post so since i need some help...im using photoshop and i like to make userbars with moving sprites but do i have to make my own sprites to have this work? can i use sprites online on my userbars? sorry if i have the wrong thread i just didn't know where else to go :/

So unless you're going to completely scratch animated sprites yourself, it's suggested to get some online. ^_^ Hope this helps.
I remember that I used to do Trainer Cards, and I had a lot of fun doing that. Could anybody link me to some free to use templates, please?
I dunno if this is right or this help I only do sprites but hope it does (feels like am the only one in the world who is still doing pokemon sprites and everything in that nature)
@Kalot3000 I have here the badge sets from the main 5 regions (as listed). You might want to save them to your files or at least upload them somehwhere else.
