Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Scariest sprite ever! I wouldn't wanna run into that in a dark forest.

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
That reminds me of the scene in Scary Movie where they all go "Waaazuuuuuup!!!"
 
Hey , by the way have you seen all of Exeggutor's Sprites ? :

RB :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] This...scares...me..off !! HORRIBLE , his heads are bigger than his body !

G :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Another huge head frenzy but he seems more pleasant to me...

Y :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Oh yeah ! Yazz got smaller heads !!!

G :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Hah ! I am more righteous than you loser !!

S :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] No way , he is standing on the ground... so cute ...

C :*bulbagarden.net image removed* Shaking your head and leaves too fast... ?

RS :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Walking forth ...

FRLG :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] ... and leaning back !

E :*bulbagarden.net image removed* What the f**k ? Jumping ?? IS THAT YOUR BEST NINTENDO ??

DPPt :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] I honestly odn't know what to say... ?

HGSS :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Again , leaning in front too much...

Exeggutor has good sprites , except for the RB and G ones...
 
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]


I don't like the HGSS sprite at all. It looks weird standing up like that.

I don't like the HGSS sprite at all. It looks weird standing up like that.

I must agree . I have seen more and more HGSS Sprites and most ofthem are pretty dissapointing . Mostly :
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
 
I have to disagree about Exeggutor. None of the gen. III/IV sprites look good. The most accurate ones are the GSC, in my opinion. I like the creepy RB one. :| It's going to eat your soul.

Also, winner of best sprites throughout all games goes to Electrode. Seriously.
 
IMO the Gen I Vileplume sprite is the biggest fail ever. It looks like a black midget with a flower on its head.
 
For Electrode , yea .

Nintenod and Game Freak made it goo adn awesome in some sprites . I congratulate him for having a good Green Sprite and surviving the Bad Sprites Virus .

And because A Furret talked about Vilepulme , here are his sprites :

RB :
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]Oh yeah . Proud of myself lol .

G :
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]Not way too different , but has a bigger flower on her head . -_-

Y :
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]This IS a bad sprite . Since WHEN is Vileplume all RED ??

G :
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Awww it looks so cute . Also notice it has a pretty lighter colour on a part of her body .

S :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] You really wanna rip off your flower ?

C :*bulbagarden.net image removed* It looks alright with her head moving . This sprite is nor good nor bad .

RS :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Huh ? Where is your colour scheme ? -___-

FRLG : [PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Nintendo saved the original colours here , even tough not too much .

E :*bulbagarden.net image removed* Yep . Bad because it got its light colours back and jumps boringly . -________-

DPPt :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Now now... Your head is too heavy , right ?

HGSS :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] It looks ... (whatever) . Anyaways , why is it holding his hand in front ?

These they are . Also as a question , what about discussing shiny sprites ?

Let's not forget the worst sprite ever in comparison to its actual Sugimori design:

What about trainer class sprites? Here's the Rocker:

As you can see, the Kanto rocker sprites are rather weird ones. First, the RBY Rocker has a whip (which is common in RBY trainer sprites), but at least you can still see he's a Rocker since the rest is fitting. But then, in FRLG? How in hell is that supposed to be a Rocker? No long hair, no guitar, no stereotypical Rocker clothes... Looks more like a hopper to me... =/

My personal favourite of all these Rocker sprites is the gen 4 one, it looks completely badass.
 
How about Mewtwo then?

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]I am teh gorilla! Imma eat you!
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] *Pelvic thrust!* An interesting sprite in my opinion
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] "Let the children cross the street!"
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Head a bit too heavy?
*link removed* Since when has Mewtwo been an electric type? Nice sprite tho.
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]Hoooold it...
*link removed* Aaaand another boring animation from Nintendo...
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] Somehow darker and more shading... Whaaat?
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY] "Look at me mom, I've started gymnastics!" Looks feminine IMO.

Aaaand Crystal takes this one for me.
 
What about trainer class sprites?

Supanerds!

RB
*image removed*
Why is he on the ground? And what's with that clenched fist? Maybe a "bully" pushed him over and he swore vengeance. =P

GSC
*image removed*
Is this guy a cripple or something? Can he get off the ground?

FRLG
*image removed*
He can stand! Although it looks like he's having a tough time doing it. :/

HGSS
*bulbagarden.net image removed*
O_O

Same clothes, but now he has a... Robochu? Looks like he has a different hairstyle too. But he's on the ground again...

Let's discuss ... our loved Geodude-lover , the HIKER !! :

Travelling through generations , the hiker had many sprites . These are :

RBY : [PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Sweet lord , such a fatty !! Someone go to the Fat Guys' Camp , and leave his food pack home !!

GSC :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Aaaaand , he did like I said . Even tough , not much weight off . :/

RSE :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Hmmmm , again intriguing that he went to the Fat Guys' Camp again , but didn't lose much weight !
Anyways , I llike that is stick is much more IN the photo , so it can be seen . He's a HIKER after all .


FRLG :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Good , they totally changed his design and he totally LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT !!! He also shows a huge backpack and has a different colour scheme .

DPPtHGSS :[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Back to the old design ;_; . WHY ??? I loved your old style , and now you're fat again !!
 
I never noticed the Hiker has no beard in RSE... But I think a Hiker sprite must have a beard, like a Butterfree must have wings or Vileplume must have a flower on its head.
 
Supanerds!

RB

The RB sprite always used to creep me out when I was younger. There is no need for him to be crawling on the floor. :(
 
Lets look at Dratini:

R/B:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Eww! Looks more like a worm.

Gr:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Still looks like a worm but its ears/horns look better.

Y:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
What the heck is up with its colour?

G:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
I don't really like that position.

S:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
I like it. It's a cuter and improved version of its literally Yellow sprite.

C:*bulbagarden.net image removed* Its colour is way too pale.

R/S:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Worst Dratini sprite ever! Its colour is all wrong and its snout is too big.

E:*bulbagarden.net image removed* Why are most Emerald animations so boring?

LG/FR:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Poor Dratini, always having its colour wrong. At least its snout is smaller.

D/P/Pt:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Now that is perfect. They got its colour right this time.

HG/SS:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]
Why do most pokemon look anorexic in HG/SS?
