Man the sprites back in the day were terrible

[A Local Guy]

Chansey had a really high quality sprite. Too bad it was impossible to find one.

which is why i caught six on the way to mewtwo...

there probably is no r/b sprite worse than moltres. even by the standards of the time...

I give you that. Moltres sprite was poor. I remember watching a poster i had with the first art of the 150 pokemon (even some pokemon have names like Tentacruel=manowar) and i looked at Moltres and then Moltres in game, and i was like "what the **** they don't look alike".

Look at the size of the flower on the Green Venusaur sprite, HOLY CRAP!

I must admit I always liked Onix's sprite but it always looked so disproportionate to the other sprites

 

[RYKUU]

nothing is as worth as KOFFING hes upside down.

 

[Arceus Master]

Look at the size of the flower on the Green Venusaur sprite, HOLY CRAP!

I know. From the back, it looks like a bunch of dead plants put together. You can see a leaf just hanging out of place and everything.

 

[Tsisque]

R/B Golbat was just hideous.

Yellow Pikachu and Lapras were well done.

 

[Wooden Porygon]

The Golbat sprite was very scary, and the Venusaur was very ugly.
Moltres sucked, too. Ah, and Blastoise was FAT! lol

 

[DarkTyphlosion157]

Yellow Pikachu and Lapras were well done.

Yellow Pikachu WOULD BE, WOULDN'T IT?

Upside-Down Koffing? Shows how much the designers could be bothered with making them like the 'mons.

RB Cloyster scared me.

 

[ronniesafc]

They wernt the best were they. Still didnt take away from what a good game it was.

Chansey has a 5% chance of appearing on the second floor, and a 10% chance on the basement floor. Rare.

 

[RagTag]

Nidorina looks absolutley nothing like it's supposed to, Machoke looks deformed,Raichu looks like he has a serious weight problem and Ivysaurs back sprite looks like a hand holding a candle

 

[Dusk]

I have a few to add;
- Koffing- his skull and corssbones are on top of his head instead of below
- Green Ekans- FEED ME!!!
- Primeape- Porcupine much?
- Blasatoise- when he loses a few pounds we'll talk

At GameFreak Headquaters, 1996:

"Well, good work team. The games are released tommorow."
"Shall we run through everything, sir?"
"Battle system up and running?"
"Check."
"Trainers programmed?"
"Check."
"Appearence rates set?
"Check."
"151 Pokemon sprites?"
"F*ck. We can get those done in eight hours, right?"

And the rest was history.

lol, I knew it!

 

[Cerulean21]

Actually I think there have been some very good Sprites in Red/Blue. The RB sprites of Dratini and Dragonair are actually my favourites of all time....

 

[razr12]

The human sprites weren't so bad, but a lot of the Pokemon sprites were-meh-terrible. But then again, I couldn't do any better.

 

[grounder]

There were some sprites that were 'cool old school'. But I keep on remembering the back sprite of Gyarados... >_<

 

[Cool_Trainer_Tyrone]

Just rember they where made in 1996 even older,and the games and R/B/G came out before the anime thats why pokemon yellow has some really good sprites,a perfect eg would be ganger he had no spikes intill yellow verson.

 

[Masato]

Looking back on it nowadays it was real hidious. But they where at least decent back then. Enough to entertain cause standards were low.

 

[The Lemonkraken]

Red & Blue Golbat = Scariest thing ever.
