Bad sprite threads get posted so often, so here's a thread to appreciate the good sprites.

Pretty much all of the Gen 4-5 sprites are god tier, with only a few minor exceptions. I really miss the sprites, I wish they would at least have stayed as Pokédex icons instead of those ugly stills we got instead.
Also, shiny Skorupi is fucking GOAT. I love this little fucker. Too bad Drapion ruined it.

Of all the Red and Green sprites, this and Hitmonlee were the only ones that really looked in 8-bits without being weird.

Here is Hitmonlee.
The Gen 4/5 ones are a little boring, I've always liked RGBY's silliness the most.

In gens 2 and 3, Sandslash's backsprite is so good. Looks like that part of an anime opening where the camera's behind a character's back, antagonists facing it and the protagonist is in a pose just before they do something.
The gen 1 sprites always had a certain charm to them when they weren't being ugly as shit.

I hated the BW sprites. Too much motion tweening. The look like shit.
