Man the sprites back in the day were terrible

[DarkTyphlosion157]

I wonder what Typhlosion would have looked like if he was in the 1st gen...probably terrible...

 

[Stereo]

Mewtwo looked like it came out of a concentration camp.

 

[John Light]

G mew and R/B mewtwo mentally scarred me for life

 

[Aqua_Maiden]

They all look horrible in Green. The best sprites for the 1stGen are in Yellow.

 

[Sasori]

I disagree, only the MEW sprite for green was horrible. yellow made the pixels too small so it looked like little dots instead of lines.

 

[Bill Nye the Sneasel Guy]

You don't want to know what I thought Golbat looked like...

Yet I thought Mewtwo looked far better than he does in certain games...

And Chansey looked freakin' ugly, and I kept on running into it like four times on every level in Cerulean Cave...

A lot of them are bad, but a lot of them look good, as well.

 

[Mr. Mudkip]

The sprites were disgusting, but back then we were like "D***, this is awesome!!!"

 

[Bill Nye the Sneasel Guy]

Except, of course, for Moltres.

I think we can agree that even then, it was hideous.

 

[~Water Lucario~]

The starters and their eveolutions where really bad, along with afew others. I guess it was hard to include detail on the Gameboys.

 

[surfer treecko]

Wigglytuff on green scares me. It looks like it's going to kill me... *hides*

 

[MidnightTheMightyena]

When you send out venusaur it looks like a chewed up salad... Blastoise was super fat and mewtwo looked as though it was melting. ;262;

 

[.:Faithless:.]

I cracked up at green Hypno, it looks like my grandad XD

R/B/ Golbat... ew.

 

[Red]

They weren't that bad.. Considering Pokemon was JUST in the making back then.. Although some did look hideous..

Some of my favorites from green:

HIDEOUS:

Oh well.. when making them maybe they had a screw loose..

 

[DonDemio]

Well, figgure that the game was made a long.....time....Ago, i think they are alright...

 

[Jimbobson]

Golbat looked crazy! and whats wrong with Sandslash on D/P?
Pikachu looks crazy on B/R, looks very fat.

 

[Riukken]

Machamp, Mew, and Golbat are forever stuck in my memories, the sprites were horrible. I always thought Gastly was better in R/B, having no definite shape and all, now Gastly just looks like a purple blob.

 

[Golde]

I assume you mean Chansey...Yeah, but it was still by FAR the bestGB game I'd ever played.

 

[(s.i.e)]

Go look at some of the RB original sprites on serebii. Check Blissey and Venusaur out.

everything has to start somewhere Dragostea_Din_Tei,
think about airplanes, they started as wooden crates too right?

 

[LuciRuki]

Golbat and Mew were definately the worst sprites in the games. They didn't even look remotely close to the advanced games or the anime.

[J.R.]

Looking back, they sure were!
But I thought they were win when I first seen them!
