Throughout the franchise, the design of some Pokémon received various amounts of changes. Some were temporary, only lasting for one or two games, while others remained for a fair bit longer, causing a disconnect between the video games and other Pokémon-related media.

Overview

The first few generations are interesting due to the sprites having been made before the artwork, rendering the "errors" and other oddities as nothing more than design revisions.[1]

Generation I, for instance, had the original designs tweaked in some places, with Pokémon Blue giving the original roster new sprites, though the back sprites were consistently left untouched. Pokémon Yellow would later update the front sprites once more, this time explicitly basing them after the Pokémon's appearance in the animated series. In this game, the bulk of the issues stems from the updated palettes, which namely caused Rattata, Shellder, Cloyster, Starmie, Ditto, Porygon, Dratini, Mewtwo, and Mew to be visibly miscolored.


In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the sprites for the Kanto Pokémon are mainly based on contemporary Red and Blue artwork, with some of the new elements tentatively introduced there (like Nidoqueen's fangs) making a return. Much like with Yellow, Pokémon Crystal later changed a good handful of sprites, taking a Pokémon's respective artwork as a basis. This namely affected the Johto Pokémon, and this time around the back sprites were also updated here and there.

Generation III is very likely when artwork was starting to be made before the sprites, leaving most of the inconsistencies to changed colors or slightly off-model sprites.

List of sprite discrepancies

Generation I

Pokémon Game Reason
001 Spr 1g 001.pngSpr 1b 001.pngSpr b g1 001.png Bulbasaur Generation I core series Originally had round ears instead of triangular ones. The Red and Blue sprite has missing claws.

Ivysaur Generation I core series
Pokémon Pinball
Originally had round ears instead of triangular ones, while it had two leaves instead of four. This stayed the case all the way up to Generation II. The Red and Blue sprite also depicts Ivysaur as bipedal, something which was never seen again. Pinball appears to mistakenly have Venusaur's flower stalk.
003 Spr 1g 003.pngSpr b g1 003.png Venusaur Generation I core series Originally had round ears instead of triangular ones, while the Red and Green sprite shows a rather different flower design when it comes to the petals and stalk shape, all the while having only two leaves instead of four. Petal-wise, it started off only having five, which stayed the case all the way up to Generation IV.
004 Spr 1g 004.pngSpr b g1 004.png Charmander Generation I core series Originally had a dorsal ridge, as depicted in the Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards and early Charmander artwork.

029 Spr 1b 029.pngSpr b g1 029.png
Pinani029.pngPin029.png
Nidoran♀ Generation I core series
Pokémon Pinball
Back sprite has misplaced spikes, and the Red and Blue sprite has no horn and different ears. Pinball's portrait has an extraneous tail, as seen in Nidoran♀'s Blue artwork, while the animated sprite lacks whiskers.

065 Spr 1g 065.png Alakazam Red and Green Originally had a Star of David on its forehead.

079 Spr 1y 079.png Slowpoke Yellow Lacks the white tip at the end of its tail.
080 Spr b g1 080.png Slowbro Generation I core series The back of its ears is curled, instead of smooth.
083 Spr 1g 083.pngSpr 1b 083.pngSpr b g1 083.png Farfetch'd Generation I core series Originally had a motif on the tip of its wings, which stayed the case all the way up to Generation IV.
084 Spr 1g 084.pngSpr 1b 084.png Doduo Generation I core series Red and Green have a different talon arrangement, whereas Red and Blue only has three talons.
085 Spr 1g 085.pngSpr 1b 085.png Dodrio Generation I core series Originally only had three toes.
091 Spr 1b 091.png Cloyster Red and Blue Red and Blue sprite has a horizontal shell as opposed to a vertical one.

093 Spr 1g 093.pngSpr 1b 093.pngSpr b g1 093.png Haunter Generation I core series Originally had four fingers. Back sprite has a different lower body design.
094 Spr b g1 094.png Gengar Generation I core series Back sprite has a smooth back as opposed to a spiky one. This is reflected in the games' intro as well.
096 Spr 1g 096.pngSpr 1b 096.pngSpr b g1 096.png Drowzee Generation I core series Originally had more than three fingers. The Red and Green sprite also has a more compact dark pattern, as seen in its back sprite.
098 Spr b g1 098.png Krabby Generation I core series Back sprite has two circular lower back protrusions.
099 Spr 1b 099.pngSpr b g1 099.png Kingler Generation I core series Back sprite has relief, and the larger pincer is on the wrong side. The Red and Blue sprite has symmetrical pincers, instead of only having a single large one. As a side note, while the Red and Green and Yellow sprites are on-model, the larger pincer appears on the wrong side in battle. This is because in Generation I, a Pokémon's sprite gets horizontally flipped in its Pokédex entry. This suggests that this sprite was made with the Pokédex in mind.
100 Spr 1b 100.png Voltorb Red and Blue Has a small circle on its lower half, as seen in Voltorb's Blue artwork, which stayed that way all the way up to Generation II.

134 Spr b g1 134.pngSpr 1g 134.pngSpr 1b 134.png Vaporeon Generation I core series Originally had a bulkier, more dog-like build, with a black nose and fangs. Its head fin was connected with its dorsal ridge, the back of its ears was fully black, and its ruff appears to have been more akin to a bib.
