Most Horrible / Best Pokemon Walking/Battle Sprite?
 
Which Pokemon Walking Sprite (from when it's first in your party) is the best, and the worst?

Vulpix and Eevee tie for best in my opinion; they're really, really cute.

Exeggcute has a really weird sprite :s I wouldn't say it's the worst, but it's definitely weird. It's huge and it's gawky.

Yuoaman April 4th, 2010 11:29 PM

Skarmory's sprite is pretty great, I have to say.

Master Kavar April 5th, 2010 12:13 AM

mine is cyndaquil its soo cute i believe

Brittani April 5th, 2010 12:18 AM

My favorite walking sprite is pikachu, so cute! ^-^

My least favorite so far is probably Onix, he is too big! :P

curiousnathan April 5th, 2010 12:25 AM

Well there are alot of great sprites for wlaking pokemon, but I have choped down my options and have now only three.

1. Slowbro - I know I know, you may get sick of seing it everywhere you go, form the Poke'ethedon to Cerulean City, I think it just looks so, ugh I dunno cool?

2. Rapidash - I first caught a rapidash at Mt Silver and the battle sprite looked cool, and it was strong at Lv 50 had a great moveset so I caught it and it looks aweosme walking behind me now!

3. Dragonite - Wohoo I love Draognite's wlaking sprite it looks awesome! It looks strong yet, not to to big either which is good.

-----------------------------
The walking sprite of the pokemon I don't like the most is either Onix or Tangela. Pfft Tangela look just plain wierd. Sorry to all of those Plant type popkemon fans out there!

Yusshin April 5th, 2010 12:27 AM

Dratini's is also really cute, too. I have a Level 51 Dratini that I'm using to level my Level 40 Exeggcute (EXP Share) and since it's first in my party, I see that cute lil' Dragon everywhere I go :)

EmzStar April 5th, 2010 12:33 AM

My favourite so far has been my miltank, but my Raikou looks really weird, on the second frame its front-right leg loses any detail and just looks weird.

chillxd April 5th, 2010 12:36 AM

Machamp's overworld sprite sucks. >.>

The best for me would be... Blissey! So cute.

Famastar April 5th, 2010 12:37 AM

I really love to see lugia flying behind me. But I don't like drapion's walking sprite, it looks ugly and small.=(

Ninja Caterpie April 5th, 2010 1:03 AM

My Gligar and Togetic look pretty cool, =P

Ambipom looks awkward though. =|

...and Ho-oh just looks kick-ass.

Fire-Red April 5th, 2010 1:04 AM

I really like the way Abra follows.

curiousnathan April 5th, 2010 1:12 AM

Ho-oh look simply awesome. It looks like a real legendary pokemon - big - stunning -and detailed!
Although besides Lugia and Ho-oh and a few other legendaries they look wierd and unatural.

Kirkland April 5th, 2010 1:51 AM

I think I might but the only one but I think Gyarados looks a little..strange. And LICKITUNG. LOOKS VERY STRANGE WHEN YOU'RE FACING IT. Go catch one and face and you'll see what I mean. or it might just be my dirty mind.

Anyways, I really like Delibird following me and Charizard looks pretty bad ass too.

Lockmaster24 April 5th, 2010 2:08 AM

my favorite is my shiny charizard simply cause its a shiny and awesome!

Alternative April 5th, 2010 2:12 AM

I'm a big fan of the more simplistic walking sprites, like Sentret, Ditto, Togetic etc.

I really dislike Feraligatr's walking sprite.

:O Gyarados! Okay but I actually quite like it,but I like it's battle sprite better.

Kikaito plush April 5th, 2010 2:27 AM

lugia right now but might change after league four.

Anyway, I love Diglet's walking sprite

Hahahaha. Diglett can walk?

Toxicroak April 5th, 2010 2:35 AM

Celebi http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/df/251OD.png looks adorable abut Toxicroak http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/06/Ani454OD.png just looks retarded (sorry buddy)

Tox April 5th, 2010 2:43 AM

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/63/Ani196OD.png
I hate Espeon's sprite. It's hideous. It looks the worst while facing you.

I'm not sure which sprite is my favourite. I might get back to this some other time.

Impo April 5th, 2010 2:49 AM

hmmmm, i dont like hitmontops :( .
but i sorta like blissey, dragonite and jynxs :)

.тαмєя April 5th, 2010 3:30 AM

Lugia sprite is awesome along with Eevee which is really cute...
But Machamps is a real let down of a sprite >.<'

*Meowth V.2* April 5th, 2010 4:08 AM

I love Meowth's walking sprite along with Pidgeot's and Poliwrath's walking sprites.

Gulpin April 5th, 2010 5:07 AM

I personally didn't like Typhlosion. And from pictures I've seen I don't think I'll like Gallade either.

Chunes April 5th, 2010 7:09 AM

Feraligatr from behind is hideous.
Ho-oh is gorgeous, though.

Left4Dead April 5th, 2010 7:30 AM

I don't really like Chikoritas, it looks goofy. So does Charizard unfortunately as I love Charizard. :(
I love Flareons sprite though. An Ho Oh's sprite is awesome as well!

Lancelot-sama! April 5th, 2010 7:36 AM

Oh god, I didn't like Chikorita's walking sprite it just looked so weird. Another one was Buizel, I didn't like it walking on all fours I thought it would be on two legs like Floatzel.

Oddly I really like the Unown walking/floating sprites I thought they were super cute, but I thought when they were facing sideways was weird because it's like a stick o__o Aside from that Lugia was pretty awesome & I won't lie so was Ho-oh.


.little monster April 5th, 2010 7:38 AM

Mewtwo looks..just strange. D: So he has my vote for a bad sprite. :[

I happen to like Chikorita's D: <

Nikorasu April 5th, 2010 7:38 AM

I thought Pikachu was absolutely ******* ****
Dragonair is pretty amazing. Just waiting to evolve it to see mah Dragonite

Kobold Asylum April 5th, 2010 7:42 AM

Worst: Typhlosion
Best: Magickarp

Subject April 5th, 2010 7:45 AM

My fav is Shaymin flying form looks cute like a little puppy XD an,d Suicune looks cool to . uglyest would be Taillow face is so ugly in sprite and to small

Kon~ April 5th, 2010 8:28 AM

I can agree with people who say Feraligatr's is awkward, but I've gotten used to it now. I luvs my Toty :p

Ursaring is awesome too. My Teddiursa evolved today and I am so happy to walk hand in hand with a goddamn bear. ~♪

And I hate Gyarados'. I didn't like the look of his OW sprite when I first saw it in the Lake of Rage, it looks bloody awkward when battling it, and the walking sprite left me disappointed.

Supersonic Bears April 5th, 2010 8:34 AM

Pikachu's walking sprite is awesome =D

Hamilton April 5th, 2010 8:39 AM

i really like Pichu's Gastly's and Crocnaw the most- but hands down the best is quilava/Bayleef- they tie in sprites- i don't really like Chikorita's though :|
it's really bland

EJ April 5th, 2010 9:03 AM

I think Jynx looks really weird. When you're running south, it looks as if Jynx is trying to catch you.

Glaceon looks pretty good while it walks, although I guess all the eeveelutions would.

JustinDestruction April 5th, 2010 9:07 AM

So far I'm loving my Flareon and Nidoking. I don't know about the worst yet though.

Ian Watkins April 5th, 2010 9:08 AM

Arcanine looks awesome, but sadly, if you have the girl, the end of it's head kinda morphs into you... xD but you can get past that by running, as it doesn't when you run.

LilacArcanine April 5th, 2010 9:09 AM

That would be epic! Arcanine girl here I come :D

Thanks Ian :D

ChrisTom April 5th, 2010 9:11 AM

I thought Charmander was perfect. It was the perfect size, the eyes were good, it was really cute all ways. The tail even flickered!

I did not like Arcanine's sprite. It overlapped your body, and it looked like you could see it's... uh.... "hole".

Eggie Poo Poo April 5th, 2010 9:37 AM

I think the worst is Feraligatr's he walks like a robot and has no emotion in him ....

Whereas my favourite one is probably Red Gyarados.

Lexxy April 5th, 2010 10:44 AM

Tauros is epic looking ;] It's 3 tails look pretty ba, it whips them around as it trots behind you.

Pearls_Barf April 5th, 2010 11:21 AM

I think Chikorita looks utterly disgusting. It is some shapeless green blob with a leaf on his head. When you see a picture of it or in battle I think it looks awesome, but following you is terrible.

I think Dragonair looks really cool following mw around though.

mynightmare April 5th, 2010 11:57 AM

Eevee, Abra and most flying types are my favorites. My least favorite is Sudowoodo.

Chimchar 9 April 5th, 2010 12:09 PM

I like: Eevee, Togekiss, Shuckle, Kingler. :)

I hate: Machop, Bellsprout, Slowpoke, Pinsir. :\

Psychic Nick April 5th, 2010 12:31 PM

I was hopeing to see Magikarp floping around. I was very sad to see it looks like youve tied a fishing line to your belt and just drag it along behind you. -sighs- What a waste of a pokeball.

Besides this, Crobat is by far the best imo. It's big enough to look powerful and is pretty detailed. For a little while I thought Ditto looked pretty awesome, but got bored of it quickly.

Least favorite? For some reason I don't like Typhlosion, something about it just doesn't convey the pokemon's awesomeness.

Sharix April 5th, 2010 1:05 PM

I really liked Typhlosion's, Palkia's, Arceus', Raikou's and Suicune's overworld sprites.

However, I really, really disliked the overworld sprites of Dialga (I'd take the one from mystery dungeon any day), Gyarados (it's so freakin small) and Rayquaza (waaay too enormous.)

Psycho Cut April 5th, 2010 2:46 PM

I love Staryu's walking sprite. (Y)

NEOCHU April 5th, 2010 2:55 PM

Feraligatr's walk was daft. i liked, Lugia and Ho-oh tho :D

GlitchCity April 5th, 2010 2:59 PM

Dragonair is pretty beast, but they could've done a lot better with Hitmontops.

umbreon_4_life April 5th, 2010 3:06 PM

I really like Eevee's walking sprite! So cute! XD Dratini's is pretty cute, too! I gotta say, I think that Chikorita's walking sprite looks messed up! Don't get me wrong, I love Chikorita (*has a funny thought about that boy in HG/SS commercial*), but its walking sprite makes it look... funky... It looks too short and stubby... XD

Ayselipera April 5th, 2010 3:08 PM

I think Ninetales looks disgusting from a side view. I was very disappointed in it.

At the moment the best one I can think of is Steelix. I just enjoy big Pokemon following me. :3

GSCyndaquil19 April 5th, 2010 3:37 PM

Charizard and Dragonite have awesome sprites,also Abra and Pikachu,my least favorite is probably Tyranitar mainly because they make it smaller than the player

R3D April 5th, 2010 4:12 PM

Hitmontop does not spin on his head while traveling, he walks, WTH. (least favorite)

zerwey April 5th, 2010 4:17 PM

Yeah, Cyndaquil's walking sprite is SO cute.

Maco April 5th, 2010 4:30 PM

Electivire's is pretty ugly. Same with porygon-z, and gyarados.
All the pokemon in my team have horrible overworld sprites :D

I Tried Voodoo Once April 5th, 2010 4:33 PM

best has to be arcanine

worst is.....sceptile, i love him, i have one in my party, but gamefreak made him look retarded xD

loliwin April 5th, 2010 4:37 PM

Mew's walking sprite is seriously awesome! Not to mention the other legendaries.... Rayquaza and Palkia's walking sprites are MASSIVE!

But Spiritombs walking sprite looks retarded to me.

Toxicroak April 5th, 2010 5:04 PM

Tangrowth = cute

rhyperior = mangled and deformed

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv141/MetalPly/tox120.png

Kirbychu April 5th, 2010 5:46 PM

Wailord is way too freakin' small. I can only hope that one day I'll be able to travel through the world of Pokemon with my trusty full-sized Wailord, crushing all buildings, trees, and people in my path. That is true happiness.

Yusshin April 5th, 2010 11:50 PM

Chikorita's is really disgusting :s I absolutely despised it, especially since I'm doing an unevolved challenge so I was stuck looking at its ugly face for a while. Luckily I exchange Chikorita with Exeggcute near the end of the Johto half of the game.

⋚Raika⋚ April 6th, 2010 12:03 AM

CYNDAQUIL!!
It's so darn cute... I miss having an adorable Cyndaquil walking behind me... Heh, but at least now I have a badass Typhlosion following me around.

jolteon. April 6th, 2010 12:46 AM

Favorite so far is probably Dragonite + Ampharos.,

Annunaku April 6th, 2010 3:29 PM

I really didn't like Chikorita's. Cyndaquil and Totodile's seemed so much better.

chezhead April 6th, 2010 3:38 PM

Best?
Magicarp.

No doubt.

.hack April 6th, 2010 3:38 PM

Best= Heracross or Lugia
Worst= Aerodactyl or Machamp

Brittani April 6th, 2010 4:00 PM

I absolutely hate the krabby one, it walks weird lol

yaya0 April 6th, 2010 5:07 PM

Me too. Krabby just looks...

Impo April 6th, 2010 5:23 PM

starmie sucks O_o
i reckon it would look better cartwheeling

Kirkland April 6th, 2010 5:43 PM

Haha I just caught a bunch of new pokemon, grimer is awesome!
His face is so "oAo", he's great. And Sableye is pretty cool aswell.
But ninetails..kinda sucks. That one could have been a lot better. D:!

^.hydro April 6th, 2010 5:50 PM

Alakazams is funny, he looks like a pointy retard

BleuVII April 6th, 2010 6:29 PM

I really liked Elekid's OW sprite, and I'm also partial to Pachirisu.

Meowth is the one that really bugs me. It walks on all fours! I thought it was Persian at first.

GamerXtreme April 6th, 2010 6:51 PM

I actually liked Pidgeot's and Dragonite's OWs.
Ampharos's is nice too.

Now, Chikorita's OW kinda let me down...


-GX-

Hydra April 6th, 2010 6:54 PM

I like my Miltank following me. But I think Krabby looks cool when it moves.

DXrobots April 6th, 2010 6:59 PM

I don't like Lugia's and mewtwo's they just seem odd to me. I like Ho-oh's though its so majestic. Haunters is my favorite though because it looks like its chasing you.

I Tried Voodoo Once April 6th, 2010 7:27 PM

Ursaring and arcanine look amazine
Salamance looks the best though :3

Mr Magius April 6th, 2010 10:03 PM

Typhlosion, Weezing and Poliwag, I really like. Krabby, not so much. The wonky eyes and awkward shuffle were enough to turn me off walking with it the first go-round.

Also, I found Chikorita's sprite to be very... Stumpy. Still, it was kind of cute.

Niprop April 6th, 2010 10:21 PM

The Good:

Porygon2. They did a great job with it's sprite, and it looks so darn cute!

Suicune
looks brilliant.

Ho-oh is magnificent, and though it's head is a bit small when compared to the proportions of some other Pokemon, that's more of the other poke's problem.

Pikachu looks nice compared to the weird DPP sprite...

The Somewhat Awkward:

Gallade resembles an actual pokémon trainer rather then a pokémon. I could just imagine him replacing Gold...

A similar case with Gardevoir, along with the fact that it looks like that she seems awfully thin, as if a single punch could smash her...

Mr. Mime...Urg, lets not even go there.

Machamp was never able to pull off the Chibi-thing well, as shown in PokéRanch. This only strengthens the statement.

Krabby never faces the direction you want it too...

Run, don't walk, from Chikorita...

Porygon-Z's head is bigger then it's whole body put together.

Pygmy Tyranitar anyone?

MASTERBOSSgodora April 6th, 2010 10:30 PM

The weirdest I would say is my Venusaur. It looks fatter than Snorlax. My favorite is my Espeon. It looks magnificent. Also, from the side Donphan looks really cool, but from the front it looks like it has giant white cheeks.

lusterclaw April 6th, 2010 10:34 PM

my best is my shiny milotic but i hate my onix its ugly

インフェルノの津波 April 6th, 2010 10:40 PM

The best would have to be.....Feraligatr and Dragonite.

OMGWTF MEOWTH?!?!

Okay, Porygon-Z is really weird....

Mudkipz is cute and weird. Whether that is a good thing, I don't know.

My overall favorite......Hmm....Charizard.

johto-Master April 7th, 2010 6:27 AM

any one else finding it weird ?
 
any one else finding it weird when a water pokeon is following you? for instance having a magikarp, goldeen , splash their way behind you ?

キラキラ April 7th, 2010 6:28 AM

It's a form of pokemon cruelty.

chezhead April 7th, 2010 6:49 AM

I find it cute and funny, and have to put something else behind me so people don't think I'm crazy, laughing my head off.

Pikachu-dance! April 7th, 2010 7:01 AM

lol:laugh: i just find water pokemon funny when they are following behind me

The Green One April 7th, 2010 7:04 AM

I think having a Magikarp follow you whilst people say you're great is the best thing ever.

SIN1488 April 7th, 2010 8:39 AM

I really liked Ursaring's. Giant bear following you ftw! :D

I liked Gyrados's too, but I didn't like the fact that if you look at the back of it's neck while it's bobbing up and down, there seems to be a big gap in it? Wut teh??

I see someone says Gallade's looks kind of weird, I hope it's not too weird because that's usually my lead pokemon in Platinum.

coconutberry April 7th, 2010 8:44 AM

Gastly and Haunter look great... They're kind of floating, bobbing up and down. They're pretty creepy. I like to pretend that, when I walk into a Pokemon Center with my Gastly/Haunter behind me, I freak the people inside out. XD

However, I think that Gyarados and Onix look really strange, and this is solely due to the fact that they're supposed to be HUGE, but their spite makes them look no bigger than me. It's just weird.

Ian Watkins April 7th, 2010 8:56 AM

Staraptor looks pretty awesome, me thinks.

Most of mine team are nice looking sprites, so I got kinda lucky. xD

ConnoRAWR April 7th, 2010 9:03 AM

Espeon and Dragonair look AWESOME!
Can't wait to trade over Milotic and Froslass over from Platinum.
Ooh, I wanna see what Ninetales looks like also. ;D

Slightly off topic, but Jynx's battle entrance sprite movement thing (fail) looks like part of the Single Ladies dance. 'Tis the best!

Gidget April 7th, 2010 9:19 AM

Groudon is pretty much the only pokemon that has really impressed me in the overworld. I usually only make him the first in my team just to see him walk behind me. That guy is HUGE and looks EPIC.

Rick. April 7th, 2010 9:26 AM

I dont really know, i havent had so many pokemons yet.
but is there a website where i can see the walking sprites?
i havent seen one yet
http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/589/589228gtdzvf8onz.jpg

560cool. April 7th, 2010 9:52 AM

bounce - bounce - bounce ...

I WANT WATER ... *poor Maikarp dies ...*
Well, who cares anyways ? Slowbro can live outside of water and he's my water main . :P

EJ April 7th, 2010 9:56 AM

The poliwag family look normal and the 4 water type starters as well. It's really just the water types that can't walk at all that look funny =]

EJ April 7th, 2010 10:08 AM

Gyarados looks retarded but that has nothing to do with a water type.

Oh that makes more sense now =]

umbreon_4_life April 7th, 2010 1:04 PM

Ha ha! Yeah, I've never had a "fishy" type Pokémon travel with me, but I did have a Vaporeon. Would she count? Anyway, it'd seem really weird for a fish to be flopping along behind you! I'd better try that sometime!

PsychoJigglypuff April 7th, 2010 1:13 PM

Gliscor has an ugly walking sprite. D: Oh well, Gliscor is still a beast.

Quagsire is immensely cute. I want to hug mine. :3

Distortion World April 7th, 2010 1:16 PM

I absolutely HATE Meowth's sprite, and it was the one I was looking forward to walking with.

First of all, it walks on all fours, not on two like in the anime. Second, it's eyes are closed like Abra's.

So it looks nothing like what Meowth really should look like.

Toxicroak April 7th, 2010 1:23 PM

Does voltorb roll when it follows you? if it doesn't thats just strange
