The worst sprite ever is Plat/HG/SS's Rhyperior <_< HORRIBLE!

Ok good one are:

HG/SS - Lugia, Ho-oh, Furret, Rayquaza.

I don't know why everyone moans at Charizard being fat, Charizard has always looked fat. Same with Blastoise.

Platinum - Umbreon, Eevee, Espeon, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina origin forme.

Worst ones

HG/SS - WTF Gamefreak!? What did you do to Jolteon!!? It's like G/R/B days again.

Skuntank - I do not want a pokemon that looks like it is constantly taking a leak all the time.


Oh i just realised that i cannot be bothered going through every single sprite so i'll just repeat;

Rhyperior... just Rhyperior... ugh!

Charizard and Blastoises HGSS sprites suck. Scizors is awesome though.

I think that the sprite in DP are crap compared to Pt/HGSS, but I especially like Luxray's sprite.

I think Platinum has half of the good sprites, and hgss has the rest.

in platinum I like these pkmns' sprites best:
empoleon,
kricketune,
mach(op, oke and amp),
Floatzel.
But
as number one comes pikachu
 

SuperSkitty

to the rescue !
Ugliest:
Regigigas
Bastiodon
Purugly
Probopass
Hippowdon

Theres some more that I can't think of. In general, I wasn't so fond of the Gen 4 pokemon designs.

Nice:
Roserade
Glaceon/Leafeon
Gallade
Shaymin
Togekiss
Luxray

There were some other nice ones, but these are especially nice to me. :)

Haha, I like Pikachu's Platinum sprite, though it does look kind of awkward at first. I also like what Platinum/HGSS did with Gardevoir's sprite. Kirlia's D/P sprite was good too, but the HG/SS one makes Kirlia look as if it's mooning someone... o_O Kirlia sure likes to show off its butt--remember its R/S/E back sprite?

As for worst sprites, I don't know what Game Freak was smoking when they made Roselia's sprite for Platinum. It looks like a third-grader drew it; the eyes, especially, don't look right at all. Same goes for Abomasnow; it looks so out of proportion.

Ninetales' D/P sprite looks like the poor fox has a neck problem. And Slaking? Picking its nose? Erm... no.

Here are the sprites in case you're too lazy to look them up:
