Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
 

Pokémon Sprite Discussion



Over a span of time, I've noticed several topics discussing sprites in a particular game of which kind of could've expanded into bigger and better threads.

Thus, after collaborating with Aegis, I've come up with this, an Official Sprite Discussion thread that spans all canon Pokémon Games. [No Fan Made, please.]

You can discuss pretty much anything about sprites in the Pokémon Game Franchise: Favorites, Least Favorites, et cetera.

Have fun! :]

YES FIRST TO POST IN A THREAD

All I can say is its so amazing how Pokemon has evolved through out the ages. Most people didn't think that Pokemon will last that long, from black and white to color and they keep getting better and better

Platinum Sprites that I hate:
I reckon Rampardos currently has one of the worst Platinum sprite ): WHY did it have to change from a cool looking Pokemon in a about-to-smash-at-something pose to a cool looking Pokemon in a standing pose T_T

Lucario's front sprite looks worse in Platinum as well ): DP sprite seems much better as well - Platinum looks as if Lucario's about to lose or something

Shellos looks like a snake now ever since its mouth got opened

Drifblim looks as if it's going to explode on someone's face

I thought Gible looked alright in DP; in Platinum...

Hippowdon also has a similar story as Rampardos - It looks MUCH more cooler with its mouth open T_T

I really don't like the new Rhyperior sprites, the original one looks much better imo

The wings of Giratina-A doesn't look great imo, I think it looked better during DP

on the other hand...

I reckon Infernape had a great improvement in its sprite in Platinum

Garchomp looks much better in Platinum, ironically when Gible looks worse in Platinum

I like how Darkrai is in Platinum now, looking as if it's trying to reach at something

Some red and blue sprites were truly horrific:



look at Metapod, Mankey, Machop, Victreebel, Geodude, Gastly, Koffing, Chansey and Eggsecutor especially.

Nidoking's sprite in R/B looks surprisingly normal. XD

Vileplume's sprite just doesn't... flow. I don't know why...

Vyro July 8th, 2009 2:32 PM

Golbat sprite=Fail

no, really. it sucks.

Silhouette July 8th, 2009 6:13 PM

Eww.. that thing is hideous. XD

But yeah, I hate Platinum's Hippowdon sprite. It looks sleepy, whereas D/P's looks all vicious and "I MUNNA EAT CHU!"

These reasons made me LOL like crazy, especially Drifblims.....xD

That original Golbat sprite is a real, REAL shame. It's like they wanted to make him look HIDEOUS on purpose.

Geodude looks like he just had his face smashed in, Vileplume looks anorexic, Porygon reminds me of a Cybernetic Dinosaur, Omastar looks in shock because he is alive, Blastoise looks just plain fat and the Exeggutor sprite is just plain freaking creepy. More than the Ghastly one. Yeah, I went there.

On the positive side, some of the best sprites were Aerodactyl, Electrode, Alakazam, Nidoking, Gengar, Magneton, Hitmonlee and Venasaur. :)

I'm glad most of the original pokemon sprites got fixed over the years....or improved at least. XD

They are not all that bad... Well... At least Kingler is not...

TimeDialga33 July 15th, 2009 12:23 PM

The Red gyrados Sprite in hg ss is one of the best Gyrados sprites i ever seen. now i like it.

GFA July 21st, 2009 5:41 AM

Meh, Gyarados looks too snake like now, it always looked like a Lung Dragon to me

I thought it looked as cool as the original... It looks like he's gonna launch himself in the air for an Aura storm.

I don't like Back sprites where all you see is a head (Like Garchomps), it looks kinda stupid...

Sydian July 21st, 2009 3:39 PM

Someone please explain this to me.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/0/06/Spr_1b_014.png

Why in the love of ass does Kakuna have claws? Was GameFreak planning on making him vicious? Yeah, it looks kind of cool, but I never expected a cocoon to have retractable claws and come at me like Wolverine.

Dragonfly July 24th, 2009 2:52 AM

SilverSmeargleSplatter: Someone please explain this to me.

I have no idea. probably just a creative designer ?.?

This just reinforces the fact that Wigglytuff is creepy. I mean, look at it!

Yes, many of these are failures. These include Mewtwo, kabuto, Tauros, Goldeen, Koffing, and Gloom. However, you also have things such as Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Lickitung, Krabby, Digglet, and Tentacruel.

Yaziyo July 25th, 2009 8:48 PM

Haha I like Slowbro's original sprite, his "tail" (or shelder or whatever the anime tried to explain it as) is bigger than him XD

Sydian July 26th, 2009 8:01 AM

Moltres is uber fail. It looks like a recovering crack addict.

What's up with Golem's sprite in RBY?! And while we're at it, what's with some of the backsprites?

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbback/rbback005.png
What's this? Charmeleon never had a horn like that, as far as I know.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbback/rbback056.png
And what's up with Mankey's arms?

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbback/rbback003.png
This is supposed to look like Venusaur..

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbback/rbback031.png
Nidoqueen?

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbback/rbback067.png
Does Machoke have a mullet or something? Seriously, what is that?

Yeah, Charmeleon's backsprite looks fat, compared to it's front one. Venusaur's was just atrocious, looked nothing like it. And that thing on Machoke is it's crest xP Backsprites in B/R were just all pixilated, and horrible looking.

Samme! August 10th, 2009 8:45 AM

Well, at least they can give you a good laugh! Personally, I absolutely love the Platinum Sprites! They are way better than the ones in Emerald were. I couldn't stand it!

theDIRTYAVENGER August 11th, 2009 3:18 PM

In Generation I, the sprites looked wierd, no doubt about it.

They were at their best in Generation II in my opinion.

Poliwrath's Generation I sprite was just the worst ever, in my opinion.

Emerald's sprite's movement was pathetic. All they do is bounce up and down twice, and sometimes open their mouth.
That game was fail.

SquirtleGirl August 21st, 2009 9:59 AM

Gyarados' sprite in R/S is a bit wierd.... his front one he's lying on his belly, but in the back one it only shows his neck and he seems thinner than usual. It's a bit wierd.

moon August 24th, 2009 2:27 AM

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr029.png This might be the cutest thing ever (nido female).

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr040.png This is the opposite.

Green sprites ftw~

ChinchillaCheddar August 25th, 2009 12:08 PM

Green has some of the scariest sprites I've ever seen...

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr063.png I usually find Abra adorable...This, however, reminds me of a grumpy old man.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr042.png I'm trying to decide what's more terrifying, R/B Golbat or Green golbat. O_O

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr151.png AAAAHH OH MY GOD MEW WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU...MY EYES AAAAAHH

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr072.png They cut off its tentacles! Now it only has those little stubs! D:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr007.png Looks like it wants to give me a hug...Or it's doing the Thriller dance. :D

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs051.gif Okay, this is a Ruby/Sapphire sprite, but for some reason it scares me. "I'MMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER!" is what I think whenever I see this one.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbspr/rbspr062.png Red/Blue Poliwrath looks like it's gonna pimp-slap somebody. O_O

Kaisuki August 25th, 2009 12:29 PM

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr105.png to http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa105.png It's lost some weight!

Red/Blue Exxegcute's got too many Eggs...


Slowbro doesnt have the Shell on his Back. FAILURE

Golbat scares me!!

chevelleROCKER September 2nd, 2009 8:52 AM

Golbat reminded me if he was drunk or something.... Poliwrath's arm doesn't seem bulky enough to be a fighting/water type. =/ It's arms should be more like Machamp's or something xD Ah..gooood times.

The Sceptile King September 6th, 2009 2:03 PM

^Yes, besides Pinsir and Rapidash, the rest do fail xD And especially Golbat.... ugh.

Sydian September 6th, 2009 5:30 PM

RB Blastoise is why I don't like Blastoise to this day. It is that bad. It can't hold it's own weight.

chevelleROCKER September 6th, 2009 5:33 PM

^I think he just looks bulky with his shell and stuff. But yeah, he's pretty heavy anyway xD

Timbjerr September 6th, 2009 9:24 PM

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbspr/rbspr039.png

Stare into its eyes and tell me this thing isn't evil. o_0

gigapoodle September 7th, 2009 1:46 PM

What's the deal with Blastoise? He looks like some sort of Mafia Drama Queen.

Sydian September 7th, 2009 1:59 PM

Okay, okay. I never thought I'd see the word "mafia" with the phrase "drama queen" to describe anything. Ever. Oh gawwwd. xDDD Kudos to you, because that is my new saying, and possibly my senior quote.

On another note...

Uh uh.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/49/Spr_4h_135.png

This is by far the worst I've seen. What did Jolteon ever do to Nintendo except love it? D: Until HGSS, Jolteon had been blessed with the better sprites in the games, in my opinion.

idk if this is true, but apparently Spinarak's front sprite was changed from purple to green, but the back sprite remained purple.
Wait, i just googled a bit more and found out that Spinarak's backsprite was changed to green too, but Bulbapedia only has the purple one. Epic Fail.

How can you not love that RSE Rattatta!? It's adorable. =3

I quite like Red and Blue's Blastoise. He looks like a chubby Ninja Turtle with a backward jetpack. xD

Sydian September 29th, 2009 4:04 PM

RSE Rattata looks like a fat kid that was grounded from eating snacks after school.

mattman324 October 2nd, 2009 5:34 AM

You know, I hear a lot of blab about how bad probopass looks. I think I have the end-all solution to make people like it once and for all.

Give it a monocle.

Sydian October 4th, 2009 7:00 AM

^ Agreed. xD I would loooove Probopass if it had one.

Yeah , and that Ratatta has a weird position . FailS .

@Mondays Suck : Interesting , haven't seen that fail before . I guess this is why they put its head lower in other sprites .

Blaziquaza October 9th, 2009 6:44 PM

But,if you ask me,I'd like a change to Rayquaza's sprite.It looks like he's almost asleep.Id like him out of that curl.

Sydian October 10th, 2009 7:36 AM

His RSE sprite is terrible. It looks like his eyes are half open and he's not sure if he wants to wake up or not.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/81/Spr_3r_384.png

Moltres111 October 11th, 2009 2:48 AM

I love Sceptile, but I just can't like any of his back sprites. Both his RSE back sprite AND his DPPtHGSS back sprite both look horrible.

Also, I don't like the fact that he's got uber SpAtk when he'd be way better off with a uber Atk stat. His physical moveset is in my opinion a lot better than his special one.

Also, I don't like Kyogre's back sprite in DPPtHGSS. It looks like a big fat blue (or purple if you're one of those who likes the purple Kyogre - personally, I can't stand it) fish with a few things sticking out of it.

Garchomps a land shark (I think), personaly I think gamefreak is reusing and sprites and colors, but adding more to it, to make you think its a different pokemon

I can't believe nobody brought this sprite up. It looks like Charizard is stoned.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/12/Spr_b_g1_123.png

ahaha oh god XD That backsprite is terrible XD

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/fb/Spr_1g_143.png

NOOO! IT'S THE PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL GREEN SNORLAX SPRITE! D:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/ff/Spr_1g_149.png

Drunk Dragonite?

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9d/Spr_1g_147.png

That's a... worm?

Well, I'll make a new post with some more later :P

AliceBlaze November 11th, 2009 5:05 AM

Has anyone noticed that up until HG/SS, the colour of Teddiursa's sprites don't match it's Sugimori and anime artworks?

It's about time they got it's colour right.

I cannot believe this has not been brought up:

"Noo, I'll get some sort of a disease!"

Seriously, look at it's eyes.

I love that sprite. ._. But I guess that's just me. I love old quirky sprites. xD However...

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/12/Spr_b_g1_123.png

I have no idea what that is. My guess is Rhydon.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7d/Spr_1g_145.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/dd/Spr_1b_145.png

And I gotta say, someone sure favored Zapdos back in the day. The first one is Green, the second is RB. Anyway, it got the better treatment than the other two.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/93/Spr_1g_146.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4e/Spr_1b_146.png

But me being me, I love the Articuno and Moltres sprites, despite them being really off compared to the Sugimori art. It's just a feel I get...it is Pocket Monsters, after all. So shouldn't they look scary?

Sky_Attack November 11th, 2009 8:17 AM

Yo, yo, yo!

And Slowbro's RB sprite looks like he's humping the shell thing.

The G/S/C backsprites had, thank god, higher resolution than that.

I loved PIdgey's sprite in when I first played Gold. It was such a HUGE improvement to Yellow's so I kept Pidgey on my team that whole playthrough XD

Sydian November 11th, 2009 9:45 AM

Yeah, I just checked. It's Scyther. Hard to believe that something this badass: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/0f/Spr_1b_123.png could have such a bad backsprite.

Tyranitar? ._. That's too primitive to be T-tar.

This is pretty bad, too, and it's only gen. III.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6f/Spr_b_g3_123.png

And this is really good for gen. I. Probably the best backsprite at the time, imo.

I don't think that's so bad? I don't know how the gen IV sprite looks, but still. I mean, you can see that it's Scyther XD

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/gbg016.gif
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/gsback/gsback016.png

Now, THIS is what I'm talking about. (is it pink though? o.o)

Sydian November 11th, 2009 9:52 AM

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/db/Spr_b_g4_016.png

Pidgey's gen. IV backsprite looks great to me. And it's not pink!

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/a2/Spr_4h_016.png

Pidgey in HGSS. Now that is freaking adorable, I must admit.

moon November 11th, 2009 10:00 AM

XD Adorable yes, alright.

But I think it's its cute round shape and the spread wings that appeal to me. I never liked the Pidgeotto sprites with its wings folded either.

Sydian November 11th, 2009 5:55 PM

Yeah, the gen. III Pidgey backsprite is still really cool to me. :> I agree about Pidgeotto, too. I was disappointed how they closed the wing span in HGSS. DPPt had it perfect. :/ But at least Pidgeot looks better.

Yeah, I love how all we talk about are the bad sprites. xD I tried to change it up a little. :P That's arguably the best sprite in RB and G when you think about it.

Silhouette November 13th, 2009 2:06 PM

Platinum was on a role. This looked great.

http://pkmn.net/sprites/platinum/default/135.png

http://pokemon.marriland.com/images/hgss/sprites/front/norm/135_jolteon_1_m.png

Sydian November 13th, 2009 2:38 PM

I agree. Jolteon, in my opinion, had been blessed with a good sprite through all generations, but...that's just ridiculous. I'd take http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/26/Spr_1b_135.png over http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/49/Spr_4h_135.png any day. That's why they're all over my sig. xD

Haha, I know what you mean. What were they going for on Jolteon, anyway?

Sydian November 13th, 2009 2:59 PM

I'm not really sure. =.= It just looks awful. It's creepy...and angry. Not the cool angry that we've known for years. A creepy bad sprite look.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d2/Spr_4h_229_m.png

That's not much of a masterpiece, either.

560cool. November 13th, 2009 3:25 PM

Yep , I must agree . Most HGSS sprites are pretty much fail , due to this new style Nintendo has of putting Pokemon in stranger , more uncommon postures .

Yes . Someone really lloved the Electric type back then . Except for Pikachu :

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbspr/rbspr025.png
Really , is that all Nintendo can do ???

Sydian November 13th, 2009 4:10 PM

That Pikachu looks a little strange and uncommon himself. :| But I've never liked Pikachu, so that must be it. I will admit that his Yellow sprite looks really good, though.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/77/Spr_1y_025.png

And as much as I hate the little rat...this sprite is adorable. You can't go wrong with Silver sprites, guys.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2e/Spr_2s_025.png

Spoiler:
With the exception of Houndoom, Entei, and Raikou, of course. Those were awful!

Rubber Ducky November 15th, 2009 9:46 AM

Are there any trainer card sprites of the badges from HG / SS? Like this:

Wow . Now that I actually see them together I must (sadly) agree...
Pikachu LOOKED CUTE !!! OMFG !!!

Sydian November 20th, 2009 2:48 PM

Pika's also gotten considerably skinnier with each generation, and that goes for the Sugimori art, too. Guess Pikachu's been taking diets with all his popularity.

Charmageddon November 21st, 2009 9:17 AM

I think maybe poor Pikachu has gone the way of many young celebrities and developed anorexia.

560cool. November 21st, 2009 9:27 AM

Yes , from all his fame he decided to get skinnier .
And by the way , have you seen the DPPt Pidgeot Sprite :
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/plmfa/18.png

It looks so... unnatural .
Now take a look at his other sprites :

Sydian November 22nd, 2009 8:35 AM

Now that I think about Pikachu going on a diet, what about this? What's wrong with this picture?

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/00/Spr_4h_136.png

It's a good sprite, but...what happened to this?

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f4/Spr_2g_136.png

Only one thing :

Most HGSS Sprites kinda suck ...

Don't you agree ? I mean , Jolteon , Houndoom ....

And this skinny style... What's wrong ??

Is there too many Guys playing Pokemon then eating KFC ?

I think all of Pidgeot's sprites were disappointments. I have to disagree with you on the DPPt sprite. I think that Pidgeot's best so far.

The improvement was so epicz <3

560cool. November 25th, 2009 12:05 PM

No that Pidgeot from DPPt is standing like a fat boy looking at his left and waiting for something to appear .

Also , now that I am doing more Sprites Comparisons , watch this Charizard Sprites :

RB :http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/rbspr/rbspr006.png

G :http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr006.png<- What is THIS , a plush doll ?

What do you think ? Except for Green , I think he was one of the best sprites...

mondays suck November 25th, 2009 12:17 PM

RBZard and SilverZard are pure win

And Charizard is probably one of the few Pokemon that didn't lose but gain weight over the years, the DP sprite looks pretty fat to me

About GreenZard... I think it isn't too bad for a Green Sprite, almost all of them are horrible. There are a lot worse ones, like Dragonite or the aforementioned Venusaur.

Sydian November 25th, 2009 12:22 PM

Definitely gained weight. Nothing wrong with that, though. Also, once again:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr006.png

My favorite sprite ever. xD

Ayselipera November 25th, 2009 12:24 PM

I love all the charizard spites except for silver's. Its just way to orange for my liking. FRLG was the best in my opinion.


http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/77/Spr_3r_088.png

Whenever I see this sprite of grimer I think of those "You must be this tall to ride" boards at amusement parks. Its from R/S btw.

mondays suck November 25th, 2009 12:56 PM

Grimer has definetely some of the best sprites ever, besides the RS one, there are also these:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/80/Spr_1b_088.pngPRAISE JESUS!
