is it just me, or are some of the HGSS sprites just posed like their Gold or Silver counterpart Or at least only slightly edited). Here are some examples:

um, isn't that the whole point of it being a remake? That they remake the sprites and everything else?

I was thinking the same thing!
I didn't like how the sprites looked like that. Bulbasaur's mouth looks weird, and Pikachu looks like it's hailing a taxi.

But now it's kinda cool, since it's a remake :p

That's because it's mouth has gotten bigger every game since D/P. By extrapolation, here is what Pikachu will look like by Generation V.

It is feared that by 2015, Pikachu's mouth will envelop it's entire head.

Well, in FrLg a few of the sprites looked distinctly like RBY sprites, so it was probably done intentionally on some of them.

And haha I never liked Pikachu so I don't care that it's getting uglier =P

Well, of course the coloring is better. Game Freak would be pretty lame if they remade a 16 bit game with 16 bit graphics. Haha~

Aw, fat pikachu.<3 I think the new sprite including D/P is terrible. Fat pika ftw.
Also, I really don't see the whole "Remade sprite" thing on Pikachu. Obviously pikachu is skinnier, which is eh. Not so good. And yup, the mouth is bigger ever since D/PPt. I see the closely relationship on Bulbasaur's old and new sprite along with Squirtle's, but not on pikachu. But hey, remakes are remakes and that's what they're trying to do.

Some of the sprites are somewhat similiar, but that makes it more memorable.

Seeing as the games are remakes to their original, having similar or exact sprites redone makes sense and shows connection to the games being a remake and not a new game as a whole. I for one think it was a beneficial idea to have such similarity as like mentioned it brings back some nostalgic feel to the game. Of course there is an exception to the high quality sprites with better coloring, and graphics, but that is to be expected. Other than this the similar sprites between the remake and originals only sets its purpose.

Some of them do appear to be based on the original sprites. It would have been really neat if they opted to give each opposing title an entirely unique set of sprites, but with 493 Pokemon instead of 251, it would have been a much more tedious process. I'm still content with the new sprites, though.

Especially Steelix.

Oh, I've never noticed that. That's interesting! Was it done for FRLG, tho? Considering the original sprites were... Pretty terrible (Pikachu- it's always had Spriting problems, poor thing:D). I don't really think they did it for FRLG, but Nintendo's style has kinda changed to include stuff we expect like this (well... It makes sense to me, probably no one else, but anyways), so I believe they're definately in the original poses.

I don't really see how they're that similar. I mean the only thing similar about all of those three is that they're facing the same direction and standing up instead of sitting.

Not to mention there were two different sets of sprites for GS, yet there's only one for HGSS, which means they cold only match one.
