As some of you may have noticed, the game sprites from Gen I were, well, not very good in some cases...so, I've compiled them all here to find the best, and the worst Gen I sprite. As usual, these are all opinions, don't get offended. But if you do get offended and need to yell at me, or you just have a comment, maybe about how right I am, do the usual thing by checking out the talk page.

I'd like to put a note here saying the Green sprites are probibly the worst in every catigory, and it seems that they came back down to earth when they did Yellow. It should also be noted that all Gen I back sprites are taken straight from Green, and not R/B/Y. This is really obvious if you look at Magnemite's Green sprite, and Gen I back sprite.


Pokémon Green Red/Blue Yellow Back Gold Silver Conclusion Future?
Bulbasaur Spr 1g 001.png Spr 1b 001.png File:Spr 1y 001.gif Spr b g1 001.png Spr 2g 001.png Spr 2s 001.png His Green sprite looks a tad off, but, it's ok. So far, so good.
Ivysaur Spr 1g 002.png Spr 1b 002.png File:Spr 1y 002.gif Spr b g1 002.png Spr 2g 002.png Spr 2s 002.png This is where Green takes a turn for the worse. R/B also has the controversial "standing" position. Add to that a very confusing back sprite. Yellow version to the rescue.
Venusaur Spr 1g 003.png Spr 1b 003.png File:Spr 1y 003.gif Spr b g1 003.png Spr 2g 003.png Spr 2s 003.png Well, it happened, Venusaur got crushed by its own plant...I'm also not too sure what to make of that back sprite.. Other than Green, Venusaur looks good from here on out.
Charmander Spr 1g 004.png Spr 1b 004.png File:Spr 1y 004.gif Spr b g1 004.png Spr 2g 004.png Spr 2s 004.png Other than those weird eyes in Green, It's all good. So far, so good.
Charmeleon Spr 1g 005.png Spr 1b 005.png File:Spr 1y 005.gif Spr b g1 005.png Spr 2g 005.png Spr 2s 005.png In Green, Charmeleon's arms disappear. In R/B, he gets fat. Also, the back sprite shows a non-colored horn of some sort. Yellow takes the anime route, and he stays that way, thankfully.
Charizard Spr 1g 006.png Spr 1b 006.png File:Spr 1y 006.gif Spr b g1 006.png Spr 2g 006.png Spr 2s 006.png Holy crap! It's Puff, the Magic Dragon! After Charizard is done with looking stupid, we get the tough facad from R/B on out.
Squirtle Spr 1g 007.png Spr 1b 007.png File:Spr 1y 007.gif Spr b g1 007.png Spr 2g 007.png Spr 2s 007.png No complaints here. —
Wartortle Spr 1g 008.png Spr 1b 008.png File:Spr 1y 008.gif Spr b g1 008.png Spr 2g 008.png Spr 2s 008.png Green looks a little weird, but ok. It's R/B that make him look fat though.. He's just not right untill Gen II.
Blastoise Spr 1g 009.png Spr 1b 009.png File:Spr 1y 009.gif Spr b g1 009.png Spr 2g 009.png Spr 2s 009.png Again, R/B with the fat one. Then there's Yellow with the nut job. Gen II is damn near perfect.
Caterpie Spr 1g 010.png Spr 1b 010.png File:Spr 1y 010.gif Spr b g1 010.png Spr 2g 010.png Spr 2s 010.png Green looks a little weird, but it's that back sprite that is awful. Considering no one had a Caterpie for more than 10 mins, it's not a big deal.
Metapod Spr 1g 011.png Spr 1b 011.png File:Spr 1y 011.gif Spr b g1 011.png Spr 2g 011.png Spr 2s 011.png The hook...that and the bloodshot back sprite... Silver finally nails it.
Butterfree Spr 1g 012.png Spr 1b 012.png File:Spr 1y 012.gif Spr b g1 012.png Spr 2g 012.png Spr 2s 012.png I think they are all terrible...particularly R/B with the one that sort of looks like a child with wings.. Fans will wait untill Gen III before he looks right.
Weedle Spr 1g 013.png Spr 1b 013.png File:Spr 1y 013.gif Spr b g1 013.png Spr 2g 013.png Spr 2s 013.png Well, I am the one who pointed out Weedle's lack of legs in Gen I.. Silver looks a little odd..
Kakuna Spr 1g 014.png Spr 1b 014.png File:Spr 1y 014.gif Spr b g1 014.png Spr 2g 014.png Spr 2s 014.png All Gen I Kakuna just look wrong. Not to mention the mysterious "arms" in R/B. Gen II nails it.
Beedrill Spr 1g 015.png Spr 1b 015.png File:Spr 1y 015.gif Spr b g1 015.png Spr 2g 015.png Spr 2s 015.png Not very consistent, but he looks fine. —
Pidgey Spr 1g 016.png Spr 1b 016.png File:Spr 1y 016.gif Spr b g1 016.png Spr 2g 016.png Spr 2s 016.png The "ordinaryness" of R/B always bothered me, but, whatever. —
Pidgeotto Spr 1g 017.png Spr 1b 017.png File:Spr 1y 017.gif Spr b g1 017.png Spr 2g 017.png Spr 2s 017.png Pidgeotto really packs on the pounds in Green and R/B. Thankfully drops the weight for Yellow.
Pidgeot Spr 1g 018.png Spr 1b 018.png File:Spr 1y 018.gif Spr b g1 018.png Spr 2g 018.png Spr 2s 018.png Everything was fine untill it got fat in Gold. He drops all the weight in Gen III, and even learns some neat tricks in Emerald.
Rattata Spr 1g 019.png Spr 1b 019.png File:Spr 1y 019.gif Spr b g1 019.png Spr 2g 019.png Spr 2s 019.png Yellow looks a little akward, but, its fine i guess. Annoying but fine.
Raticate Spr 1g 020.png Spr 1b 020.png File:Spr 1y 020.gif Spr b g1 020.png Spr 2g 020.png Spr 2s 020.png Yellow spoils it again here. That back sprite is also pretty weird. Guess I'm just nit-picking here...but it's still annoying..
Spearow Spr 1g 021.png Spr 1b 021.png File:Spr 1y 021.gif Spr b g1 021.png Spr 2g 021.png Spr 2s 021.png It doesn't really look like Spearow in any of these sprites. I guess G/S/C is fine.
Fearow Spr 1g 022.png Spr 1b 022.png File:Spr 1y 022.gif Spr b g1 022.png Spr 2g 022.png Spr 2s 022.png R/B just looks terrible, but it's one of the few Gen I back sprites that looks good. Looks good from Yellow on.
Ekans Spr 1g 023.png Spr 1b 023.png File:Spr 1y 023.gif Spr b g1 023.png Spr 2g 023.png Spr 2s 023.png Is that Bellsprout in Green?? R/B don't really work either. Yellow nails it. (it pretty much had to)
Arbok Spr 1g 024.png Spr 1b 024.png File:Spr 1y 024.gif Spr b g1 024.png Spr 2g 024.png Spr 2s 024.png Other than the mysterious back design, everything looks ok. —
Pikachu Spr 1g 025.png Spr 1b 025.png File:Spr 1y 025.gif Spr b g1 025.png Spr 2g 025.png Spr 2s 025.png For the poster child, it sure looks terrible prior to Yellow. Add to that the weird lines around it. They had the whole production team on it in Yellow, it better have turned out perfect.
Raichu Spr 1g 026.png Spr 1b 026.png File:Spr 1y 026.gif Spr b g1 026.png Spr 2g 026.png Spr 2s 026.png Green looks weird, and Raichu is fat. He's fine....and fat.
Sandshrew Spr 1g 027.png Spr 1b 027.png File:Spr 1y 027.gif Spr b g1 027.png Spr 2g 027.png Spr 2s 027.png That's not Sandshrew......untill Yellow, and even then... ...Silver is OK, i guess.
Sandslash Spr 1g 028.png Spr 1b 028.png File:Spr 1y 028.gif Spr b g1 028.png Spr 2g 028.png Spr 2s 028.png Again, Yellow. That back sprite is awfully busy. Gen II gets it.
Nidoran♀ Spr 1g 029.png Spr 1b 029.png File:Spr 1y 029.gif Spr b g1 029.png Spr 2g 029.png Spr 2s 029.png R/B is wrong. Other than that, they're not really great, but they work.
Nidorina Spr 1g 030.png Spr 1b 030.png File:Spr 1y 030.gif Spr b g1 030.png Spr 2g 030.png Spr 2s 030.png R/B has quite a snout, but, overall, they all work. —
Nidoqueen Spr 1g 031.png Spr 1b 031.png File:Spr 1y 031.gif Spr b g1 031.png Spr 2g 031.png Spr 2s 031.png Green and the back sprite are awful. The rest are just fine.
Nidoran♂ Spr 1g 032.png Spr 1b 032.png File:Spr 1y 032.gif Spr b g1 032.png Spr 2g 032.png Spr 2s 032.png Green and R/B look wrong, but not appauling. —
Nidorino Spr 1g 033.png Spr 1b 033.png File:Spr 1y 033.gif Spr b g1 033.png Spr 2g 033.png Spr 2s 033.png They aren't 100%, but they all work. —
Nidoking Spr 1g 034.png Spr 1b 034.png File:Spr 1y 034.gif Spr b g1 034.png Spr 2g 034.png Spr 2s 034.png Even with the sub-par back sprite, they all work. —
