favorite sprites

what game do you think had the best in-game sprites / models? do you have a particular favorite Pok?mon sprite?

<p>i like crystal's a lot, and I also adore the Gen 5 animated sprites. a group i surprisingly really like is the RSE sprites for FRLG-exclusive Pok?mon. It's weird, but I'm not a huge fan of FRLG sprites, or RSE sprites for RSE Pok?mon, but the RSE sprites for Pok?mon transferred from FRLG always struck me as really cool. check out this cute RSE squirtle!</p><p><img src="https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/emerald/normal/squirtle.png" style="width: 64px;"></p><p>i haven't thought about it extensively but my favorite sprite <i>might </i>be this Gen 3 Farfetch'd backsprite</p><p><img src="https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/emerald/back-normal/farfetchd.png" style="width: 64px;"><br></p>

Despite the Gen 6 sprites looking pretty good my favorite animated sprites are the Gen 5 ones, a few of my favorites being














A Gen 6 but I love this one

I'll never forget about my first ever game Yellow's (Actually first is Red, but I started Yellow first!) sprites.



^ And definitely Vulpix and Ninetales.
I had boxes and boxes of Vulpixs and Ninetales in my Pokemon Yellow from the game corner for no reasons.

<p>gen 6 has no sprites, they're 3D models. same for 7. and tbh I really don't like them at all. in-game they look washed out and dull, on a page they look even worse.</p>

Not sure which game's sprites I prefer, but my all-time favorite sprite is probably HGSS Lickitung. So adorable!



EDIT: Some others that have stuck out to me over the years...

I don't know, but I noticed today that Exeggutor has almost exactly the same sprite in Yellow and Gold.

I haven't really checked every Pokémon one by one but I'm pretty sure this is the only Pokémon that shares a sprite between Gen. I and II.
I thought that was pretty interesting.

i was super distracted by how fuckin weird that RB exeggutor looks lmao. those are some messed up proportions..

I love shiny brelooms sprite from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.



Also Red/Blue eggxecute (hehe)

I love almost all the Crystal sprites, especially Raikou's, which is an update of the GS one. I really need to think about this though, a better-formulated answer will come.

If it counts, My favorite was seeing Crobat in 3D when I played XD: Gale of Darkness

Other than that, I like the modern sprites the most (Gen 6/7)

I think Pokemon Silver has my favorite sprites. Crystal mostly adapted Gold's, so you don't see the different poses from Silver that often.

My fav might be Flareon who was drenched, then electrocuted. Flareon who is shooketh.

Soul Silver, high quality sprites and they look all so lively. I like almost every sprite in that game, it's a great game and a fantastic remake.

It's still my favorite game and will probably stay favorite forever or atleast for a very long time.
Only a 2nd Red remake could change my mind, we all know that it won't happen.

This has to be my favourite sprite

Rotom-Wash with motions. I love how it waddles.
