    • I'm going to do Piloswine cos I have a reference to it (the number of my apartment is Piloswine's National Pokedex number: 221).

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Gold: Piloswine's worst sprite, yuck. 1/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Silver: OK, but still not a good pose. 4/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Crystal: Still a little better than Gold or Silver. 5/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen: Nice improvement although the color is a little off. 6/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Diamond/Pearl: Same coloring as R/S/E, but better pose. 6/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Platinum: Finally, a Piloswine sprite with decent coloring! 9/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    HeartGold/SoulSilver: Nice pose, improvement on coloring, this is the best Piloswine sprite! 10/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Black/White: It's the HG/SS sprite in motion! 10/10

    I really really hate the colors for the first gen :( It's head is messed up too. The second gen is teenie weenie bit better, the third gen is a lot better than the first gen and second as they added yellow bits to Vaporeon's ears and which made it less dull :D The fourth gen Vaporeon sprite is the cutest <3 Aaand the fifth one is cute too but not as cute as the fourth one tbh.. xD;

    I like Umbreon's HG/SS overworlds. It's cute and tiny :3.

    • I really miss my brown Sneasel, which is why I play my Gold and Silver now and then. Brown Sneasel is awesome with its blue 'feather'.

    There a reason Sneasel got a sprite recoloring for Crystal forward? Its shiny has stayed rather consistant. Not that the current Sneasel colors are bad, I just liked the brown.

    Some of the Japanese Red & Green sprites make me giggle... although all first Gen ones look weird now! Here are a few of my choice favourites from those games:

    There are many instances of sprites from the first few generations having inconsistencies with the official design.

    The most likely explanation is that the sprite artists worked using reference sheets that used unfinalised designs, designs which would have changed slightly before the game was released. By the time they discovered these mistakes it would likely have been too late to correct them for the initial release of the game (Gold and Silver have a few sprites that were changed for the American release to correct errors).

    This tends to happen sometimes when you've gotta draw a whole lotta sprites at once while the game could still be in radical development. If you ever play the original Sonic The Hedgehog, pay close attention to his sprite - in some frames the white stripe on his shoes is missing; it was only added to his design partway through the game's development.

    And we've also seen several instances where the sprites in Pokémon have changed dramatically between prototypes and the final game - the three Sinnoh starter Pokémon have prototype back sprites that were drawn and shaded in the Generation III style, as well as similar backsprites of R/S Pokémon that seem to be indicative of a gradual change from the style of Gen III sprites to Gen IV ones.

    • Today, I am doing the Pokemon I chose as my starter way back when I was playing SoulSilver... CYNDAQUIL!

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Gold: Good pose but the coloring just doesn't stack up with the more modern games. 6/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Silver: Pose is worse than Gold. 4/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Crystal: It's just the Gold sprite reversed and moving, not a fan of reverse-facing poses. 2/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen: Looks happy there! 7/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Pose is weird, not as bad as GSC possibly because of better coloring. 5/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    HeartGold/SoulSilver: Best of them all! Loved this sprite cos it has originality. 10/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Black/White: Not as good pose as HGSS but the animation and coloring is good. 9.5/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

    • Today, I'm doing another popular Water-type Pokemon - Marill!

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Gold: Nice pose, although not as good as later generations. 5/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Silver: Cute but not very colorful. 4/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Crystal: One of the very few Crystal sprites that doesn't recycle the Gold pose. 5/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    R/S/FR/LG/E: Nice pose but the colors only get better! 7/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Diamond/Pearl: Way too light and uncreative pose. 4/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Platinum: This is where Marill starts to get better in appearance. 9/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    HeartGold/SoulSilver: Best Marill sprite ever, well done Game Freak designers! 10/10

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
    Black/White: It's the HG/SS sprite recycled but now it's actually moving! 10/10

    • Okay everyone, the thread is called sprite discussion not sprite "let's post all this Pokemon's sprite for +1 post count". I'm not going to make rules for this thread or anything, but can we please cut back on the posting sprites, giving a caption/quick run down, then leaving? Like, at least say something about what other people have pointed out about other sprites.

    If you need an example of how this thread used to work when it was fun: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=185180&page=4

    Please and thank you guys. Now, to get a few things started...

    • You can still do them, yes, but if you look at the three posts before my last one, that's all people are doing. They're not even discussing, and I'd like this thread to be for discussing, not just "post sprites, get +1 post count, go off" and rinse and repeat. So yes, they can still be posted, but if you're going to post them, try to add in stuff about the last one that was posted to make your post at least have a purpose other than just posting sprites. Like I said, look at the earlier pages of the thread and you'll see what I mean.

    That definitely was a scyther, and that Rhydon sprite looks pretty normal to me.

    Ahh, time to take a long, nice stretch. Oops, i think i cracked a bone. Seriously, the neck chord thing on the back of it, looks way too long. Compare it to b/w:
    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

    See how tiny it is there?

    It's a chain. He's eating his own shell, and the shell is eating him! reminds me of how my dog eats his tail.

    It looks anemic.

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

    If you look at it really quick, it looks like Dragonite. I actually thought it was Dragonite at first, until i noticed the flame on its tail. ಠ_ಠ

    • Yeah, the back sprite was Scyther. I thought it was Rhydon at first. (Yeah, I know. Green Rhydon lol.)

    Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]


    lmao OMG. "I got this guys. Stand back."

    The RB Charizard looks like he's trying to hoard something all to himself, even though there's nothing there for him to hide. Still though. :( And I love Mewtwo's BW sprite/animation. <3
