Electabuzz is an example of a pokémon whose sprite hasn't changed very much at all over the years :]

My favourite is the D/P one. Monkeybusiness!

I'll give it a try!

Let's do magmar!
R/G:
Spr_1g_126.png
Just boring really, and his right hand looks like a mace or something.
R/B:
Spr_1b_126.png
I'll throw you outta here!
Y:
Spr_1y_126.png
Do the magmar everyone!
G:
Spr_2g_126.png
It's ok but why is he spitting upwards?
S:
Spr_2s_126.png
Pretty good, and he's aiming at the enemy this time! :D
C:
Spr_2c_126.gif
:classic:
R/S:
Spr_3r_126.png
A bit brighter than usual. And he's aiming upwards again.
E:
Spr_3e_126.gif
I told you magmar, you'll never hit the other pokemon aiming that high!
FR/LG:
Spr_3f_126.png
I like this one, a lot more shading on him.
D/P:
Spr_4d_126.png
:(
Pt:
Spr_4p_126.png
:(:(:(
HG/SS:
Spr_4h_126.png
Pretty good actually, a nice recovery from the awful dppt ones.

My favorite magmar sprites would have to be crystal, frlg and hgss.

Let us examine Skarmory:

gbg227.gif
Gold, surprising not bad, doesnt have the red on its wings, but it looks decent.

gbs227.gif
Silver, if i may ask, what in gods name were they thinking?

gbc227.gif
Crystal, not bad, had the red wings and a decent sprite, but inferior to Gold Version.
emesprani227.gif
Emerald, goes from gold sprite, to silver sprite, back to gold...
dpmfa227.png
Diamon Pearl....awfully similar to Ruby/Sapphire...different shading and colors
227.png
Platinum, hope they didn't hurt themselves on that.

didn't know how to get R/S or FR/LG sprites, the site doesn't have their front sprites.

Nidoking
The face looks like a fish and he has boobs R/G
Best Sprite ever IMO R/B
Looks so stupid Y
Another awful Sprite, it looks like he's hugging the air S
Eh a alright locking one, much better than the Silver and Yellow G
Looks pretty good C
I hate all the R/S Sprites, and they made him way too light R/S
At least they dulled the color E
It would look alright if the head wasn't the size of a peanut, and it didn't look like it had Clefable wings FR/LG
Looks God awful and they made the color too bright again, almost as bad as it's R/G sprite D/P/Pt
Finally a good sprite after all that time HG/SS

I would have to say my favorite sprite for Nidoking is it's RB sprite.

Spr_1g_114.png
Green, looks like someone brushed its vines downwards.
Spr_1b_114.png
R/B, Tangela is quadratic :shocked:
Spr_1y_114.png
Yellow, Too dark
Spr_2g_114.png
Gold, were's its colour? This stupid green is awful
Spr_2s_114.png
Silver, is it tripping or what?!
Spr_2c_114.gif
Crystal, Same Sprite as in Gold, but the colour is back!
Spr_3r_114.png
R/S, Too much light. Looks like it is in front of a spotlight
Spr_3f_114.png
LG/FR, Too much Light
Spr_3e_114.gif
Emerald, Poor animation, same thing with the light
Spr_4d_114.png
D/P, Wow the first good sprite. My favourite.
Spr_4p_114.png
Platinum, That one is good, too, but I like the other position better
Spr_4h_114.png
HG/SS, that one disappears me. Its vines and feets shrinked! It looks like one of the first gen sprites.

Pretty much all Yellow sprites sucks a.. i'm not going to say that, but they are really, really bad. I mean, they may LOOK cool, but the coloring is just sad. I mean, yes, it is Pokemon Yellow, but that doesen't mean EVERYTHING HAS to be yellow! Jeez Nintendo, what's up with the yellow people, the yellow pokemon, EVERYTHING YELLOW?

Yellow must be the stupidest pokemon game ever. Especially since you start with Pikachu and you can only catch bugs, a flying type, and normal types that early. Seriously.. were you supposed to beat Brock the same way as Ash did in the anime? I don't think so. How did you do it?

Anyway, Yellow sprites may have looked good, but the coloring was lololololololololololololololollolololololololololfail.

@Moltres: Get a Butterfree.

A lot of Yellow sprites were coloured okay and didn't look yellow (at least not when I played them on my GBA SP) but there were some that looked terrible...

Okay, now Bellossom:
182.png
182.png
182.png
The flowers are flying from the head. The leaf skirt is too large. And the colors don't match with any of Bellossom's artworks.

Cuter, but that's what i call a BIG HEAD!!
182.gif
182.gif
182b.gif
Now the colors match, but why are those leaves red??!! Fall, maybe?
182.png
182.png
182c.png
This is a cute sprite. The shading is a little overloaded but it's a good sprite.
182.gif
182d.gif
"OMG! I'm falling, I'm falling! Whew... that was close... Oh, no! Not again!"

This is a Bellossom. Less shading, and also cleaner. The best so far.

This one is pretty too, and the animation is more dynamic. HGSS has the best sprites.
