Yes.

I always saw the Gen 1 Trainer backsprite as a chibi sitting, not standing. The upper arm as a whole arm, rounded out, the lower arm as the leg and the hand was his foot.

I tought that the RSE ninja boy was holding some kind of red fan with two fingers

>>33431061

Oh god what the fuck? Why the hell does he have a lollipop for? I should have noticed, but FRLG is like my least played main game.

>>33431061
Someone draw this out I literally have no idea what it means

>>33430966
I assume that paddle is the Japanese equivalent of the chair that lion tamers stereotypically use alongside their whip in the west. It's probably meant to intercept an animal's claws.

When I first saw the scientist sprite, I thought he had a clam or something on his dick

>>33431061
Took a couple seconds but yeah, I can totally see that

>>33432597
Same here

Why did so many gen 1 trainers have whips?

"Russian No Man's Land" is still the most out of place quote in the series.

It took me 19 years to realize that he was wearing a side pocket and not covering his dick. Same goes for the Gen 1 Hiker sprite.

I also assumed this for most of my childhood. It didn't make sense for him to be sitting but that's what my mind saw

>>33432960
The original concept for the series was something more akin to Dragon Quest rather than the more modern-day setting. The idea was that you were taming wild monsters rather than animals. The whips are just an oddity that somehow made it into the final game.

Also another piece of trivia: Virdian City was originally going to be the first gym and the leader was a young kid who probably trained either normal or bug types. Giovanni was a late addition.

yeah I always thought it was angrily looking backwards down it's big 'ol nose

When I first saw it, I mistook the wing for an air vent in place of his mouth. The beak sort of a stump.

It's a foot, not a mouth.

I think you're just retarded, anon.
