Worst Gen 1 Sprite?
Everyone know how hilariously bad some of the gen 1 sprites are (Most of them are fairly suspect to be fair, and 99% of the backsprites are terrible) and although Blue fixed some and Yellow fixed up nearly all of them, there's no escaping the monstrosities the original two games threw our way. But what would you say is the absolute worst?
For me it's this guy. He doesn't even remotely resemble Mew at all. The whole thing is laughable, from the eye placement to the tiny little t rex arms to the massive, massive head. For those who want to take part: Green/Jap. Red Version Sprites Blue/Eng. Red Version Sprites |
Loads of awful ones, but Porygon's sprite evolution from Green to Yellow amuses me the most:

I can't help but burst out laughing looking at Green Ekans: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/cc/Spr_1g_023.png It's practically going, I'm stoned, wtf!!!! |

Green's Ekans is atrocious. Why's it mouth like that? |
Golbat's is creepy.
|
Blastoise turned into a blob
|
I find greens Blastoise sprite better than blues. Also I find greens Magmar sprite funny. He looks like Moe from the Simpsons.
|
Chansey's sprite evolution is a bit of a weird one for me.
Green: awww http://i.imgur.com/KX3emdz.png Red/Blue: WHAT IS THAT AND WHY IS IT RUBBING ITS HANDS IN GLEE WITH THAT MANIACAL LOOK IN ITS EYES http://i.imgur.com/7gIVal3.png Yellow: awwwww...* http://i.imgur.com/UNxeWOg.png *still having nightmares about R/B Chansey though |
Gastly's sprite in R/B/G was disgustingly bad.
Da hell is that?! |

I absolutely hated Koffing's sprite for this generation since it looked like it was upside down. Also, that one Pikachu sprite that made me kept thinking it was Raichu.

Red and Green's Mew was mind-bogglin' AWFUL! Doesn't even resemble the adorable Mythical Pokémon that it really is.
Golbat is another one high on the list of terrible-looking sprites. Then there's Pikachu with the dark spot on its belly. I do remember seeing a piece of official artwork somewhere with Red and Pikachu from around 1995-96, with Pikachu having a white belly. Of course, like everybody else is saying, Yellow's front/opponent sprites were a significant improvement and look much closer to the designs we're familiar with today, even though the back/player sprites were carried over from R/G. |

Vaporeon's back sprite was pretty terrible. It looked like a shapeless glob.

I kinda nearly forgot this monstrosity until i played a bit of blue the other day |
Charizard's back sprite. It is comfortable the worst thing I've ever seen, and is legitimately terrifying! It looks like a freakin skeleton angel thing!
