Jolteon is definitely one of the more adorable sprites.In defence of green (which someone linked the whole sprite sheet of earlier), I still think it had some of the best Eeveelution sprites out there, especially Jolteons.

I'd assume it's a shadow.To everyone who was talking about how amazing Slowpoke's sprite from Silver is (which I agree is extremely cute): it is actually very incorrect. Observe:
Notice anything missing?
Slowpoke actually has a striped underbelly. Disappointing, I know :p
While this is a pretty good backsprite by Gen 1 standards, what the hell is that black thing reaching up his tails?
The striped belly has been retconned out of existence, even in Japan, just like Jynx's facial color...To everyone who was talking about how amazing Slowpoke's sprite from Silver is (which I agree is extremely cute): it is actually very incorrect. Observe:

Wait, isn't that a Slowbro in the picture? Slowpoke certainly doesn't have a striped underbelly in the latest Pokedex :0To everyone who was talking about how amazing Slowpoke's sprite from Silver is (which I agree is extremely cute): it is actually very incorrect. Observe:

That may be so, but in Generation 2 the striped underbelly was still a thing.The striped belly has been retconned out of existence, even in Japan, just like Jynx's facial color...
No, it's Slowpoke. He had a striped underbelly too at one point! :pWait, isn't that a Slowbro in the picture? Slowpoke certainly doesn't have a striped underbelly in the latest Pokedex :0
The strange part is that the Japanese version of Pokemon Silver did keep the striped belly. See:To everyone who was talking about how amazing Slowpoke's sprite from Silver is (which I agree is extremely cute): it is actually very incorrect. Observe:

Yeah, backsprites were just awkward most of the time, mainly cause a good number of which barely let you see them. Though some were cool. I remember Charizard's in Gen IV:Mamoswine's in-battle backsprite in BW is so awkward. You get to see your pokemon, but only the top 20% of it.
Hypno looks even more like a pedophile in this sprite
He looks like he is wearing pants lol. Aside from that this one isn't extremely awful though.
lol I thought I was the only one that noticed these things, Typhlosion could do that tooYeah, backsprites were just awkward most of the time, mainly cause a good number of which barely let you see them. Though some were cool. I remember Charizard's in Gen IV:
It looked so cool when it used Flamethrower since it actually looked like it came out of his mouth.
MmmmMMMM gotta love dat pokemon ass.Feraligatr had dat ass in RSE
I know right, isn't it just so sick and horrendous? (the latter came from the video I watched; I must say that it's such a powerful word that sadly deserves to be used for this sprite).And who can forget Golbat?
What was up with those eyes? If you don't notice, they are wider than its body, and also placed at slightly different levels. And the sideways tongue? Or the body randomly leaning to its right? Or even the feet? This is one messed-up sprite.
We have a winner. :3 I also saw this on the commentary, just too funny.Well, there's Hitmonchan's sprite that looks like a Togekiss watching a constipated Doduo try to poop:
Again from the video.What's wrong with Wigglytuff's eyes?
Feraligatr had dat ass in RSE
I played Blue first, so this was the first time I ever saw Pidgeot. From the sprite, I thought it was made out of wood. Just look at that wing.
Pidgeot only got worse in Blue and US Red. The pose. Enough said.

Technically*, that's a model, not a sprite.We have a fresh example of horrible sprite:
Gen
VI
Archeops
They did buff Pidgeot in Gen VI slightly (91 Speed to 101 Speed).Too bad that while Pidgeot had one of the coolest Pokémon cards out there, and it kicked ass in the Anime, the games have been screwing Pidgeot over ever since. Horrible sprites/models, horrible stats, horrible movepool, horrible Abilities... the list goes on and on and on and on.
Woo, now it can outspeed Fearow... nicheTechnically*, that's a model, not a sprite.
But I agree:
Gen V: Awesome
Gen VI: Why are you standing?
*Dang, I wish that Archeops had Technician as its ability so that would be a pun! But then it would wreck everything.
