It will always be this one for me:
Whilst I'm here... :P
That sprite of Mewtwo really lives up to its DPt Pokedex entry.
'A Pokémon created by recombining Mew's genes. It's said to have the most savage heart among Pokémon.' That sprite really screams savage.
And oops we have new replies too.
This Pikachu image is a classic:
Very cute and was one of my favorite old Pokémon cards.
And although RB had some weird sprites there were still some good ones that stood out. Particular favorites:
Fairly nicely-drawn although Yellow's sprites beats these games by a long shot.
And if it counts.. don't forget the old production art for Pokémon RB which is pretty iconic and good to look at. How many of you guys have seen some of these?
That classic Pikachu art resembles a mouse, which isn't seen much nowadays, sadly. That isn't saying the modern Pikachu art sucks, it's just that I really love how it resembles a mouse since Pikachu is a mouse Pokemon after all!
I love the Gyarados art, similar to Hudson's favorite Mewtwo sprite, that classic Gyarados sprite really looks atrocious.
I've seen those arts and I actually wanna collect all those classic Capsule Monsters art (Pocket Monsters' former name; developing name).
Hopefully a Mega Lapras will resemble his former design, ya know, as a homage? I actually love the Lapras we have right now and that beta-Lapras. (:
You can also see Sugimori sensei's art and art style evolved throughout the years, from that beta-Red's art to Red to Kris and Silver's art, to May and Dawn (different generations, but the differences are the color usage). Go compare at Red and Nate's character art style, you wouldn't believe they were drawn by the same person!
The production art is always so quaint. I love how Rhydon of all Pokémon was the actual first...
RB had some interesting sprites in my opinion... for good or bad, many of them were memorable. Here are some of my favorites, and in keeping on topic, I do
like all of these sprites, but maybe not for the right reasons. :>
My absolute favorite is Blastoise... he looks a little bloated.
Pidgeot has this "orly" face that I love.
I always thought this one just looked off... but it's the first sprite that comes to mind when I think of RB.
He just looks like he's depixelating. If that's a word.
It looks like a little sphinx here.
While Blastoise looks bloated, but his facial expression looks fiercer than his subsequent generations sprite, haha. Looks like a Pokemon I wouldn't like to mess up with! I do recall when I saw Blastoise for the very first time in my Gen I game, I was like wow this Pokemon looks awesome, I have the most powerful Pokemon in the world, hahaha.
Gastly's sprite, no matter how much I look at it, it reminds me of the spray tool from MS Paint, haha!
