Charmeleon & Charizard look extremely docile, I don't like that at all. :(

Venusaur looks hungover.

But I have to agree with Mew being the worst, it looks nothing like what it does now.

All hail the amazing Derpazard!

Mew is horrific though, probably because its design was mostly based on a cat embryo (which is gross).

Okay, first thing. The Oddish-Vileplume ones made me laugh. Those ones are bad. But than I see Vaporeon. Just what were they thinking. Like it looks like it has a razor blade for a tail. That's all im going to say on that.
Worst: Venusaur. It looks like it is being weighed down by the plant on its back.
Best: Hmmmm... Let me take a few hours to think. Dratini. Maybe.

Okay, everyone just please look at the Geodude(?) sprite. Just... just look at that thing. Im going to leave it at that.

I think Derpizard is by far the besthttp://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/greenspr/greenspr006.png

Heh, in all seriousness...

Jigglypuff looks sleep-deprived....

But I think the weirdest one is Machamp.

What?? I can't even.

Auric May 7th, 2014 7:12 PM

Three way tie! Primeape, Wigglytuff, and Mew.

Does anyone else find it funny that Mewtwo's sprite actually looks pretty good and then Mew just looks butchered?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 10th, 2014 6:06 PM

They are all very ugly, but the ones that are the ugliest are Venusaur, Wigglytuff, Machamp, Moltres, Alakazam and Chansey.

Yeah, those sprites are the ugliest but believe it or not, some sprites are close to be very accurate taking the official sugimori's artworks as reference:

These ones are: Blastoise, Fearow, Nidoking, Clefable, Parasect, Muk, Krabby, Hitmonlee, Wezing, Mr.Mime, Porygon (which is a lot better of RBY sprites), and Mewtwo, which is the more accurate sprite from all 1st Gen Games.

My 2 cents.

painquantum May 15th, 2014 8:05 AM

I'm amazed by how Mew looks so ridiculous, hahaha!

Pepperton May 24th, 2014 8:58 PM

There are so many great options. Ekans has an abnormally large mouth, which is rather unsettling. Victreebell looks like a banana. The fur of Primeape makes it look like a ball of spikes. Charizard is definitely worth mentioning. Perspective in the Snorlax sprite is way off. Those are just the highlights. d:

Jorgomli May 25th, 2014 11:29 AM

Worst is Mankey, best is Snorlax, IMO. But then again, I love Snorlax, so...

Saint Sophie June 9th, 2014 9:46 AM

Has anyone else noticed how Magikarp is actually one of the better sprites? :P


Primeape looks like a dandelion.

Scotash! June 10th, 2014 5:31 AM

Weepinbell, Gengar & mew are all really bad! Hypno is just creepy too.

Imperator161 June 10th, 2014 1:07 PM

Mew seems pretty awful. Its other gen 1 sprites actually look pretty good--it's sad that the poor thing got butchered so badly here.


Overall, though, the green sprites are better than I remembered them. Some of them do indeed look better than their other-version counterparts.

enigmaeffect June 12th, 2014 4:47 AM

Venusaur and Charizard both look awful. Imagine playing through the game for the first time and finally evolving your starters to their final stage... only to be greeted with those things.

Girl June 14th, 2014 6:22 PM

Mew looks like a crippled E.T.

Tyheamma June 17th, 2014 8:42 AM

Gosh I haven't seem most of these in years...

I had such hatred for Venasaurs sprite, and now I remember why. haha.

Squirtle looks absolutely adorable though, like he wants a huggle. C:

Sandslash looks hilarious. And OMG. Poliwrath. hahaha. Hypnos nose looks pretty funny too. And Lickitungs expression. I just keep noticing more. x3

Overall, I think the worst sprites are Mew, Poliwrath and Horsea. The best is Arcanine, other than the absent expression he looks pretty cool.

Thanks, this gave me a laugh lol!

7ohn June 27th, 2014 12:52 AM

At generation 3, they were probably all captured and forced to have plastic surgery.

Lusus June 28th, 2014 7:19 AM

Sandslash has a nice haircut.

I'm surprised nobody pointed out Ekans, that sprite is hilarious
