Pokémon Sprite Discussion [from RBYG to XY]

Crystal's Pikachu sprite is actually cute. That's such a difficult thing for me to admit, lol. :(

I'm guessing it's Platinum, I'm really not sure though cause I can't read Japanese lol.
edit - Ok I looked it up and it's the 5th gen sprites, all of them. And the orangy one is the shiny.

I thought this was the 5th Gen sprite:

Is that really from B2W2? That's huge! :| You should have found a better Pokemon though lololol. But seriously, that is huge. I can't wait to see that thing animated. Wow. But it's slightly cut off, which is why I'm a bit skeptical as to how that can be an official sprite.

Actually, it says that they're exactly 96x96, no more or less. o3o
I just inspected every element of them, and yeah, they fit the maximum.
I quite like the sprites, especially Thundurus'. People say it's more of a dragon, when I think it looks more feline than anything else. o3o
 
If it had cute lil ears, I might think so. ;3 And ummmm in that post before my last one, there was a different sprite with the wings spread. You changed it, bro. D; It might have just been a fan sprite.
 
The sprites are certainly bigger if you take into account their animations:
Spoiler:

I like the little wing spread thing therian-Tornadus does :3

This BW2 sprite is larger than 96x96! Isn't that awesome? :D

If it's true, then yes, it is! ^^ I hope we don't have to worry about Pokemon posing at a really weird angle, just to fit the size limit anymore, like some of the pre-BW back sprites (Crobat, Machamp, etc).

However, speaking of Therian Formes, I like Thundurus' and Landorus' more compared to Tornadus'. I always thought Tornadus' Therian Forme look kind of funny. o__o He doesn't seem fitting for a bird in my opinion.
 
I hate that color scheme for a bird, so it's not really the bird form that bothers me, just the fact that Tornadus is that puke green and toxic purple color. Gross.

And this is an old thread, so most pictures likely have broken image links now. No big deal. It's not something I would bother going around and fixing.

What is the deal with its back sprite? It's always bugged me how it looks like they forgot to draw the other half.

I don't anything wrong with it tbh. Almost every Pokémon has a backsprite with only half the Pokémon showing.
 
Yeah, that's how they used to be lol. Though I kinda agree. I wish there was at least a bit more of the Dustox. That backsprite kinda implies that it's laying down on the ground or something. Beautifly got better backsprite treatment. WAY better treatment.

Heck, it's only missing a few pixels, but basically, its whole body is there. Poor Dustox. :( Looks like it got corrected in gen IV though.

Comparing these two, although Black and White's is much more up to date, I prefer the pose from Red & Blue, it makes Rapidash look more radiant and graceful. Don't get me wrong they both look great it's just the current one is kind of predictable and well average.
 
GBA Sprite Comparison

Recently, I was working on a utility in Game Maker that allows one to compare the sprites of RS, FRLG, and E. When I was cycling between Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, I found a few differences in about 43 Pokémon sprites as listed in the following spoiler.

Spoiler:


For a few examples, Wartortle is blue in Ruby/Sapphire while in Emerald he looks purple like in Fire Red and Leaf Green. Also, Cubone's "fingernails" aren't visible in his Ruby/Sapphire sprite.

The Rapidash sprite has a much better pose in Gen 1. I think i like the Crystal one better though.
