| Pokémon | Green | Red/Blue | Yellow | Back | Gold | Silver | Conclusion | Future? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meowth |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look at that fat little kitty in Green. Game Freak did a great job in fixing it for R/B though. Back sprite is iffy but tolerable. | Yellow looks a little messed up, but hey, Meowth is pretty messed up so its ok. G/S look fine. |
| Persian |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green is confusing, I'm not sure if its about to attack or take a violent crap. R/B answers that question, remember to dirt the turd, Persian. | Back sprite looks like a blown-up Meowth, but from Yellow on Persian is fine (and as Giovanni's kitty, I expect nothing less). |
| Psyduck |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think they took the retarded angle a little too seriously in Green, which bled into the back sprite of course. | R/B ain't bad, Yellow isn't great but works, and G/S on its all good. |
| Golduck |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Holy crap, is Green a duck or a swamp monster? The fallout being that horrific back sprite. | Yellow is actually the most aggressive looking of the bunch. He's lookin good from then on. |
| Mankey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is why no one ever used Mankey, it looked like an amoeba in its early days. I mean, holy crap, seriously Game Freak?? | I bet when anyone saw this thing in Yellow, they had no idea it was a Mankey because they had never seen one before. |
| Primeape |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green looks like splattered roadkill. R/B looks better, not that it was hard to look any better than Green. | Back sprite isn't as abysmal as the G/R/B, but Yellow works and its good from then on out. |
| Growlithe |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is Green a dog? what is that? R/B is definitely a dog. But, it looks too close to a real dog. Back sprite outright sucks. | Yellow is identifiable, but not great. G/S is fine, but R/S/E kinda looks stupid actually. FR/LG fixes that. |
| Arcanine |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amongst that mess in Green, an Arcanine quietly hides. He sits down in R/B, and becomes a blob of something from the back. | Yellow isn't perfect, but at least we know what we're looking at. Gold is meh, Silver on are fine. |
| Poliwag |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's pretty hard to screw up a blob with a swirl and tail, G/R/B aren't great, but work. | Back sprite is crap, but nothing too horrible. |
| Poliwhirl |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Satoshi Tajiri's favorite, you'd think they would make it perfect. Nope, its horrific in G/R/B. I mean 'wow damn holy crap what happened how did they manage to make it that bad' bad. | Back sprite is actually decent. Yellow on out is fine. But I still hate Poliwhirl. Sorry Tajiri! |
| Poliwrath |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what Green is, but it isn't a Poliwrath. R/B tries to impress, and fails. The back sprite, oh god the back sprite... | Yellow looks kind of stupid, but works. G/S to the rescue, as usual. |
| Abra |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green Abra looks a little too asian, but the rest are ok. Backsprite is slightly confusing, but it works. | You can't really screw up the same thing over and over, Abra always looks the same. Granted, Clefable in Yellow... |
| Kadabra |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green looks weird, like Abra, but it's fine. R/B looks a little off, but still identifiable. | Confusing backsprite again, but it's all fine. |
| Alakazam |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consistency shows that Green Alakazam is once again really weird looking, but is once again (barely) acceptable. | Actually a pretty good R/B and even a decent backsprite. |
| Machop |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oh good god what is that THING in Green?? I guess it went on vacation when R/B came out, all we get is a cardboard cutout, and then it returns for Yellow! | Backsprite is ok, but he kinda looks weird in G/S/C. Machop never really looks like himself until Ruby/Sapphire come out. |
| Machoke |
|
|
|
|
|
|
OH GOD IT EVOLVED. Unlike Machop, Machoke stays for R/B in all of his froggy likeness. The retarded younger brother shows up for Yellow. Backsprite is kinda dumb. | They switch things up and get a girl for G/S/C (c'mon, look at that chest). Machoke doesn't really look right until FRLG. |
| Machamp |
|
|
|
|
|
|
GET IT AWAY!! Green continues its rampage, while R/B show us what a half bird/half frog would look like with four arms. | Yellow is bad, but not bad like Green. Backsprite is horrible, but finally we get something normal in G/S. |
| Bellsprout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow, can someone please give Green some water, it's going to die! R/B could also use a little. And don't mind Yellow, it's just a little retarded. | Not sure what the backsprite is supposed to be, but it isn't a Bellsprout. Good thing they nailed it in G/S/C. |
| Weepinbell |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I hope there's some water left for Green again! Meanwhile, retarded Yellow got demoted to R/B. | Yellow looks pretty good, backsprite is crap, but it's all fine G/S and after. |
| Victreebel |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You see, you didn't give it any water, and now Green going to eat you. R/B is going to eat itself it seems. Yellow looks like it's trying to be a model (head straight, strike a pose!). | Backsprite isn't horrible. You know, I'm not sure if Victreebel always looks right, or it always looks stupid to be honest. It never looks the same in any generation. |
| Tentacool |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If G/R/B are any indication, Game Freak didn't know jellyfish had tentacles. | Yellow is crappy but fine, backsprite sucks, but who cared? Fine from G/S on. |
| Tentacruel |
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are so many inconsistencies in the Gen I sprites, I'm not going to bother. | Backsprite is meh, but notably, the blob in Gold is missing in Crystal... |
| Geodude |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just like Tentacool, none of these are the same. I've no idea what Green is supposed to be and R/B seems to an incarnation of The Fonz! | Yellow is good and the backsprite is...something. Geodude doesn't actually look genuine all the way until D/P. |
| Graveler |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green isn't that bad, but R/B, what were they thinking?? Not even close! Yellow is good, the backsprite is meh. | Gold is a little weird and Crystal is about to rape the player, but the rest are fine. |
| Golem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
G/R/B look really stupid, same with the backsprite. But Yellow is great, better than G/S! | For some reason, they didn't give G/S/C a backsprite...either that or they thought Golem was secretly ??? from Zelda. |
| Ponyta |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ponyta is so fast, that in Green, it couldn't stop in time before it smashed into a wall! | A lot of inconsistencies, and the crappy backsprite, but they all work. |
| Rapidash |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fire on Green looks more like fins on a fish. R/B is ok, but it always looked weird to me. | Yellow looks kinda cool, backsprite sucks, but it's good from then out. |
| Slowpoke |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The one Pokémon they are allowed to play up the retarded-factor, and they sure did in Green! But they all still work in their own way. | Except for one notably retarded sprite seen in R/S...it's on par with Green. |
| Slowbro |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty much all of Slowbro's sprites look stupid. Notably Green, but Yellow looks like its being eaten by its Shellder! | But, they all work, even the backsprite which isn't bad. |
| Magnemite |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The backsprite looks exactly like Green, too bad Green's top screw isn't in all the way. R/B looks like it's been crushed, but still works. It's the one I trained into a Megamite! | Yellow is pretty good, but G/S aren't. Mag is one of the few who got a new sprite in Crystal and for good reason. From then on, he looks great. |
| Magneton |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green is fat, and sadly, the backsprite mirror's it perfectly. Meanwhile, R/B are so drunk, they can't stay together! Yellow actually looks pretty good. | Given his sprite history, Game Freak have no idea what Ton is supposed to look like. It changes a little in every game. |
| Farfetch'd |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Farfetch'd is so useless, it doesn't matter that it looks like an ornithological disaster in G/R/B because the few people that actually got one, just boxed it. | Shame too because the backsprite isn't bad, and he looks good in Gen II on. But it still doesn't matter, because he is still totally useless. |
| Doduo |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's pretty impressive that Game Freak had so much trouble with so many other Pokémon, and yet, a two headed bird was pretty easy. | It's all good, including the backsprite. Beaks are a little inconsistent, but not a big deal. |
| Dodrio |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And here we are with three heads, and still, not a big deal. Backsprite isn't perfect, but works fine. | Although, it's eyes don't look too healthy in G/R/B, but oh well. |
| Seel |
|
|
|
|
|
|
OH CRAP, WON'T SOMEBODY HELP THAT POOR THING IN YELLOW? It's tongue has swollen so bad I don't know how it can breathe! And that poor backsprite needs a diet, bad. | Lets be frank, it has a stupid name, and it's a stupid Pokémon. It looks dumb in every generation by default. |
| Dewgong |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green looks kinda stupid, and the backsprite follows suit. Overall though, Dewgong is a bit of a mess in every gen. | It's so bland I don't have much to say about it. It's a big white fish. |
| Grimer |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It looks like a big blob of snot in Green (irony?) and the backsprite isn't very smart in the brain (is that even possible?). | Grimer is yet another Pokémon that doesn't seem to stay the same in every Gen, and can you blame it? It's a blob of sludge. |
| Muk |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And here we have a giant blob of sludge. There's not much to comment on as it looks the same in every Gen. | Except Yellow, which is sort of like a "snot rocket" I guess. |
| Shellder |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In G/R/B, it is pretty clear that Game Freak had no idea what they wanted Shellder to look like. This is unfortunately reflected in its backsprite. | They finally figured it out in Yellow, but really guys, you should have this stuff figured out BEFORE you go through two versions of the game. |
| Cloyster |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rather oddly, it looks like they had the design for Cloyster figured out in Green, but then retconned him in R/B? | They fixed him in Yellow, and he's looked the same ever since. The damage was done though, English speakers were never sure what Cloyster was supposed to look like until G/S. |
| Gastly |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another case of non-final design. They used the MS-Paint spray can and put eyes on it. Realizing this would be impossible to live with, they quickly stole the center of a Cloyster. | A little fiery in Yellow, but he has looked the same ever since. |
| Haunter |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The maniacal figure of G/R/B is clearly not the Haunter we know, but I actually kinda like it... Of course, this doesn't excuse the backsprite from looking like a fly on a windshield. | While he has settled into the Bongo Bongo we know and love, somebody should tell the R/S Haunter's to slow down a bit. |
| Gengar |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The problem with being a shadow is you're limited to being what the object you are shadowing looks like. Green will sadly have to live with the fact he is the shadow of a fat guy. | Gengar also seems to change a little in every Gen, but they all work. |
| Onix |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a snake made of rocks. The only part of it that requires detail is it's head. Easy right? Well, R/B still managed to make it look stupid, and the backsprite. | Yellow version also looks horrible, but thankfully they got it together in later generations. |
| Drowzee |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It looks like a mutated elephant that pooped it's pants. It doesn't matter that its G/R/B sprites are all terrible because it is just a terribly ugly Pokémon. | Yellow figures it out, but then G/S make it try and dance. I don't know, Drowzee will always look stupid. |
| Hypno |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT ABOMINATION IN GREEN?? It's like Dracula and a clown mashed together in some nightmarish freak show! | Thankfully they fixed it in R/B and he has been fine ever since. I feel sorry for Japan having to see such a thing. |
| Krabby |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Poor Krabby. The forgotten little Water-type. Even Nintendo couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. It looks different in every Gen I game. | Not sure who thought the claws went 'under' the body in R/B, but he has soldiered on, with minor changes. |
| Kingler |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure how R/B missed the memo about Crabs having one pincer bigger than the other, but either way, you can barely see Kingler at all. Even the backsprite got it right. | Kingler looks a little doofy all the way through Gen III, but it's not like anyone noticed because no one uses poor Kingler... |
| Voltorb |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a ball. Red on top, white on bottom. How did Green screw that up?? Why is there a line down the middle of its face? | They've managed to not screw it up for the rest of the series, though it just blows-up anyway, so its not like anyone gets to look at it for long anyway. |
| Electrode |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Big ball. White on top, red on bottom. Green managed to get it from the front, but somehow they screwed it up from the back. | His face changes in every Gen, but again, it just explodes so it doesn't matter. Though, Yellow looks really happy about it. |
Stay tuned for page three whenever I get around to it!
