Man the sprites back in the day were terrible

[Saph]

Nidoking's R/B sprite can't be topped, in my opinion.

I'd have to admit, looking back and playing Blue and Red recently, the sprites are pretty bad..

I find it cool in a way, just to see how far the sprites have progressed and evolved throughout the games. =D

 

[(s.i.e)]

I actually like how comical some of the older sprites were. I would love to see some like Wigglytuff revamped and brought back.

yeah those older ones had indeed a more comic like style, i don't think pokemon would be as popular if they havn't edited that but it would have looked way more funny.

Yeh like i remember ekans nd vulpix lol i hated those guys sprites lol

although slowpoke's one looked epic lol

yeah that one was pretty neat, maybe a bit more thick as the nowadays sprite but it has to start somewhere right?

 

[K Train]

With the Sprites back in Red and Blue I just gotta ask what was with the Geodude sprite just didn't look right lol

 

[BM14murph]

Yeh i remeber dat lol he was just a lil ball lol

 

[Falling4Grace]

Yeah, they did look pretty funny huh? Just goes to show how far you can go in over ten years. I always like the Venasaur one for some reason though...

 

[Slowking[George]]

The Geodude sprite was indeed ugly (a youngster's head would have benn better for a Geodude). The ugliest of all was Golbat.

 

[chosen_one386]

Yes, the sprites hurt my young eyes...Charizard and Geodude especially...

 

[Rad3n]

Exeggutor was pretty terrible. I still remember its ugly face. People who say Golbat is the worst never saw the green sprites though!

 

[DemonFart]

funny thing is...i sorta liked them ;-;

they gave it a classic feel.

 

[Henshin Haku]

Ah..Pikachu w/ Slimfast. Memories. All three starters had nice sprites I believe, but Venusaur took sometime, so it seemed.

 

[I cant think of a name]

Most of the Green version sprites are just hilarious.

 

[Aeron]

Golbat was pretty fugly, but what about Green's Mew, come on I could have drawn one better than that with my elbow.
But for all their ugliness, you gotta love them

 

[Nightning]

everytime i pick up an old game, i'm shocked by the awfulness of the graphics. but, I still love 'em X3

 

[BynineB]

Green.
Exeggutor.
*shudder*

 

[Valencia]

I think some of the old sprites are kind of neat looking.
And a lot of them just make me laugh.

 

[Chaotic Houndoom]

Haha once you go back and look at them, you do a 'Wtf'. Its always fun to go back and look at that stuff.

 

[Xashlei]

Oh my god I can't believe there's a thread like this! I'm going to improvise.

Look at this. Stare at it and it looks like a Dodou taking a crap with a Togikess watching.

ROFL, I'd sig that if it wouldn't ruin my signature set up.

My least favorite is Green Mew since it looks abnormal, and Red/Blue Golbat because of its tongue hanging out.
