Grovyle's backsprite is a little weird. It looks like a small dinosaur. I don't like Wailord's either.

Grovyle's sprite is AWFUL. I really like Grovyle, but as previously mentioned it looks like a dinosaur and VERY little like Grovyle. And what's with blue leaves?

Most of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald's sprites are inferior to FireRed and LeafGreen's in terms of quality. In particular, Squirtle('s arms), Butterfree, NIDORINO, Primeape, Tauros (it's tail tips are lacking their blue colour), Jolteon, Flareon and Dragonair. If you compare them to FireRed and LeafGreen's hpefully you'll see what I mean.
Another thing I noticed which is fixed in FireRed and LeafGreen, is that R/S's (don't know about Emerald) Wigglytuff back sprite is lacking the white tips on it's ears.

Along with Nidorino who I mentioned earlier, the worst R/S sprite (at least out of the ones which got revamped) is Snorlax's. The face is completely wrong and it's hands only have 3 big 'fingers' as opposed to 5 small ones. It's sprite got completely re-drawn in Emerald though. I guess it was really that bad.

Most of the R/S (#252-386) Pokémon's sprites are quite bad too. Take Dusclops for example. It's missing a finger on both hands.

Tyranitar looks REALLY ugly from the back. Its mouth doesn't hang open like it does in its front sprite, and it looks like it's frowning or something.

I've never liked the back sprites of Camerupt or Wailord, since you can hardly even SEE the pokemon, and you'd think a pokemon as big as Wailord would have a larger than normal back sprite.

Hariyama's looks as if they turned it sideways, to make it looks as if the pokemon is surfing.

Skarmory's is pretty bad, too, as the front view of it has its wings spread wide out, while the back has them tucked into its sides.

I can´t believe no one mentioned Metagross´s back sprite which is worst than any of them...and Feraligatr´s is awful too...

Golem's and Camerupt's back sprite has to be the most awful sprites in the history of pokemon.

Quagsire and Noctowl look awful. Always did in 2D. The 3D ones from Colosseum look cool. Espeon and Umbreon look bad too. Many of the 2nd-gen Pokemon in R/S/E/F/L look bad, imho.
 
Feraligatr is just wrong... I'm not saying what the back sprite reminds me of.
 
Ludicolo, metagross, piloswine<<lol

They are really ugly there are more but i cant think of them right now

Poochyena. ._. It's terrible.

Nidorino's backsprite looks off. Its leg is like... stiff or something imo.
