what...the fuck?
*raises claw* Excuse me?
He looks like he's holding a banana at the opponent trying to be threatening.
Why were gen 1 backsprites so bad?

FTFY

He just looks like he's smiling softly.
>>29183068
you're... a few years late, OP
>>29183503
Because you're jealous that you didn't live the pokemania :^)
>>29183883
dragonite looks ok actually
all the battle sprites are kinda ugly until gen 4
this is nothing new
>>29184010
Only one problem anon.That's fucking Oddish
>>29184083
Sprites have never universally been good. The models are great, just some of the animations need work.
>>29184108
Crystal has sprites that are universally good.
>>29183454
Because they where made to match the original 1996 Japanese red and green front sprites. When red and green got rereleased in the west and rebranded red and blue they got upgraded front sprites , but for some reason they didn't get upgraded backsprites and just kept the jap originals.

>that gengar
hnnnnhgh
>>29184140
Well, if you say so.
>>29184158
Gen 3 reused back sprites from Gen 2, as well. They really hate doing back sprites.

It's close, but not universally good.

Yes, this shit made me hate Bulbasaur. What the fuck GameFreak?
>>29184158
These are on par if not better in a lot of cases than the redone sprites. I wonder why they felt the need to redo them.
>>29183948
>not living before pokemania
>>29184556
>>29184468
What the hell is going on here, anyway? Is the plant pointing forward or what?
>>29184556
>>29184158
most are better but some got worse
>>29184848
>>29184158
I genuinely did not know that, and now I do.
>>29184140
moltres and pidgeot are bad
>>29183503
>>29183948
This.
Anyone who hates Gen I does so because they were either toddlers/babies or not even born during that time.
I genuinely feel bad for them. Pokemania was the best part of my mid-childhood and gave me good memories of elementary school.

Any drawfags hanging around want to take a crack at drawing some of these Pokemon based on their Gen 1 sprites?

At my childhood, i tried hard as fuck to understand what the fuck was this.
I always tought that he was upside-down or something.
>>29184085
underrated post
>>29184468
its not like they couldn't make it look good,
Why is it so difficult to find transparent sprite sheets like the ones being posted?
>>29183883
disgusting
always wondered why the horn was in a different color
>>29184140
Am I the only one who thinks Rattata looks bad in this? It looks like a dumb bald guy.
>>29184158
This image is so small, 151 really sounds like a lot more than it really is.
>>29184140
I like how shiny they are.
>>29184158
Krabby and Shellder are lazy as fuck
>>29185450
>Ekans screams
>>29184938
I don't hate gen 1 itself, but the games are pretty terrible.
I can still enjoy them in an almost ironic way, but I'll never truly enjoy them like I did as a kid again.
