Weird/shitty sprites
Raikou's GS sprite is so underrated in terms of shit factor
>>33139912
>every sprites in gen 1
>most Kanto/Johto mons in R/S/E
/thread
pretty much any Pokémon in Gen V whose sprite is reworked from a Gen IV game
>>33139912
i see this one in romhacks all the time and i don't know why because it's SHIT
RSE had the worst fucking sprites
Back sprites also welcome
>it's gonna be another gen 3/5 posting shitthread when in reality gen 1 holds the undisputed champion title of bad sprites in video games as a whole.
>>33139912
>>33140304
>tfw my first shiny evolved into Dustox and not Beautifly
Feelsbadman
>>33140414
for comparison.
>>33140311
post some fucking gen 1 sprites you stupid faggot
>>33140190
Also any Platinum sprite that was just a second frame of DP sprite animation or a bad edit of one (pic related)
>lets give gen 3 hoothoot the shiny colors, just for shits and giggles
>>33140163
Most gen 2 colors did not make sense
Entire generation 3
>>33140576
The color is t half as bad at the face.
Dear lord, fucking thing looks like it just had teeth pulled and it has a head wrap
>>33139912
Every from pokemon clover
>>33140435
Some of the Gen 1 sprites are pretty damn sweet imo. R/B Poliwhirl, Muk and Haunter are some of my favorite designs.
>>33140201
You know it's the actual Rattata sprite from RSE, right?
>>33141394
no i didn't know that
Bellosom in Pokemon Gold has a hairy chest
>>33141400
Go damn it, now I can't unsee it.
>>33141392
dont forget hitmonlee, tentacruel, and gyarados
>>33140304
GSC skarmory's sprite was weird
had to wait pearl/diamond to see clearly what was its eye and what was its mouth
Marowak used to have huge spikes on its back in Gen 1.
Why did GF remove them?
>>33141400
cute
>>33141466
So did Charmander...or at least a spike (maybe two).
Early installment weirdness. Same reason a lot of the sprites were off.
>>33140435
post the japanese gen 1 sprites

>Nidoqueen
>>33144125
rhydon suffered the same fate
Never forgive, never forget.
>>33144206
> gf thinking it's a good idea to omit the flames of the pokemon line that is basically an erupting flame
;(
Just discovered this.
>>33140435
Arms folded Tentacruel is so awesome. I also really like Sandshrew for some reason. Mewtwo looks great in RB as well, and both Nidoking an Nidoqueen look good. Then you have Exeggcute's giant egg and Kingler has two giant claws. Such a strange mixed bag.
>>33143902
Lickitung's back sprite always amused me. A lot of the backsprites are horrible, but they also fit the RG front sprites a lot more than RBY's.
>>33140163
I kinda like it as a slightly different take on the design, really.
>metallic-looking plate on head doesn't split into ear shapes
>no massive spike whiskers
>>33144326
Oh, and also the dark-coloured lion's mane. Or maybe it's part of the 'plating'?
>>33144271
that seems to be a bit of a strech, anon
>>33143902
I vote Clefable and Pikachu for best-looking gen1 backsprites.
>>33144374
well you can't really go wrong with things like koffing and weezing and whatnot, but yeah, overall pikachu and clefable, also zard's sprite is pretty good
>>33140304
>>33144505
>>33144206
Typhlosion only has it's flames out when it attacks.
>>33140435
Always thought it was weird that some sprites had loads of detail due to good shading and others looked really poor.
>>33144271
yes
poor
>>33144664
imagine reaching this hard
>>33144492
Someone make him do a thumbs up
>>33143902
>Charmeleon
It's still ugly after all these years
>>33144664
>atomite is heliolisk
I know this whole chart is bullshit, but this one just cracks me up
>>33144664
Is this supposed to be a "same type" chart or ATOMITE IS TOTALLY BASED ON HELIOSK GUYS?
>>33140420
jej, i caught a shiny wurmple once. i was so grateful that it evolved into beautfly. i'm sorry for your loss
>>33139912
Nidoking in Gen 6/7
>>33140435
Weird how dragonite looks dark and scary here instead of a fucking goofball like he is now

All great
No one's gonna mention Mamoswine? Doesn't even show the fucking tusks.

I didn't even have to post them.
>>33144664
Greato daze
>>33140435
aerodactyl, gyarados and persian prove that gen1's crude style can work amazingly well sometimes
>>33144374
Victreebel looks the best here.
>>33144523
People fail to see that for some reason. Models went for more natural appearances anyway, as opposed to sprites that just wanted to look appealing/cool since they were just images (or animated afterwards in later generations).
>>33140436
DP had sprite animations?
>>33140311
RG and RB sprites are so awful it's amusing, even then, Yellow picks up some slack. RSE sprites are just plain bad with no charm to it and probably the least appealing overall, FRLG is somewhat better. Gen V's new sprites are passable with the tweening kind of working out with the simpler shading on the Unova originals, but anything reworked from a Gen IV sprite is garbage.

He's sinking into the abyss.
Save him.

Drowning from Gogoat's Surf is everything Golem deserves.
>>33140435
a lot of these are fantastic but the ones that are bad are tragic alcohol bad
>>33143934
God why does Green Hitmonchan look like a Togekiss watching Doduo have a shit
>>33144505
Looks retarded. Typhlosion wouldn't even be able to stand like that.
>>33139912
>>33139912
I loved that sprite.
There's one really janky Jolteon sprite I hate.
Seaking's shiny used to be actually gold now it's barely even different from the regular one.
>>33140414
I take Dustox any day over Beautifly
>>33140435
The quality of sprites really is all over the place. You've got real amateurish stuff like Venomoth and Machop but also fantastic ones like Nidoking and Hitmonlee.
I notice that it's often the base forms that look the worst; does anyone have any idea why it is like that?
>>33143934
Blastoise, Pidgey line, Rattata line, Clefable, Arcanine, Abra and Kadabra, Golden line, Mr. Mime, Scyther, Aerodactyl and Mewtwo all look good to excellent.
I also appreciate how unique Poliwraith looks here.
>>33147422
Nah, he's clearly cool with it.
>>33143934
>RG Abra
>>33143902
Articuno is a tragedy. Both back and front sprites.

it's on a battle, it should use the flames to intimidate the opponent
