Worst Pokemon Sprites?

That's more of a bad angle since it does have that leg since this is a model, not a sprite.Just realized that the 6th gen Metagross sprite seems to be missing a leg:
Maybe it went back as a Beldum and thus, explaining how the Metagross family reproduce (by itself!). IT'S THE CIIIIIIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!
Sprite = Model, no? Oh well... My point was that GameFreak could've rearrange both left legs so that the "missing" leg would show, making it look like it's not gonna fall on his shiny metal ass anymore.
Sprite does not equal model. Sprites are solely 2D. In order to see different angles or for animation, you need multiple sprites (baring mirroring sprites, which is common in many games) Models are 3D. They can be seen from multiple angles and can be animated without having to create a new one. The camera in battles is far more dynamic than they were in previous generations, so this pose is only a problem at this particular angle, but that is how life actually is. Sometimes things look like they are missing when in fact they are still there. If this was a sprite, however, your comment would be 100% accurate.
Poor Raichu. It's no wonder you're so forgotten, Gamefreak just can't seem to give you a decent sprite. Over half of them make you look like Pikachu's fat, dumb, deadbeat uncle.
OH JEEBUS WHY?!
Eh, a little too cute but at least it's an improvement.
Not too bad, except you got the shiny colors reversed! (the dark orange one is regular while the silvered yellow one is the shiny, that's backwards).
Gamefeak, did you have to make it look like it just swallowed a whole cake? (and real shiny sprite for comparison to Gen2's).
I take it back, cake-boy was fine (although Diamond/Pearl's hip-hip-horray animation is kinda cute).
Okay, but still kind of derpy.
Ah, that's better. Such pose. Much wow.

So I'm currently playing through the Battle Factory in SoulSilver. I got a Magnezone and I send it out. Now, I've never used a Magnezone before, so I've never seen its Gen IV backsprite until now:
Wow. I don't have any words to describe it.

Okay, I guess there sprites here are a case of Japan vs US copies of the game for RBG.
This here is for Red and Green.
And this is Red and Blue.
Wigglytuff... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CURL!
Also, can't deny that Pokemon Fusion makes some horrid sprites.
Because Wigglytuff's face makes everything horrid.

Can't unsee the different eye sizes on the first Wigglytuff like it just took some cocaine or something lol!Okay, I guess there sprites here are a case of Japan vs US copies of the game for RBG.

It's so... breadlike. This is MagneBun.So I'm currently playing through the Battle Factory in SoulSilver. I got a Magnezone and I send it out. Now, I've never used a Magnezone before, so I've never seen its Gen IV backsprite until now:

Wigglytuff first gen sprites were terrible ahah
Otherwise this one of Primape surprised me aswell
Is...Is it having an arm seizure?Wigglytuff first gen sprites were terrible ahah

Looks like he's using some poor bastard's head or chest (how tall is Primeape after all?) as a punching bag. Nothing out of the ordinary here IMO.
The Dratini sprite in RB looks so sad... why does it have these stripe things on it's belly? I guess scales? Those aren't scales Gamefreak.
oh really? i thought it looked like a dog or something :3 look at the face yeesh....I never really understood Articuno's sprite in Pokémon Yellow.

Its 'beard' looks so displaced..
Maybe he does. All the better to bash you or my head in, or whatever poor bastard pisses him off.
Perhaps, we never know, it's Pokemon after all.
This is actually one of my favourite sprites, I think it looks majestic.I never really understood Articuno's sprite in Pokémon Yellow.
I don't think it's ugly though. It just makes Articuno look more like a beast instead of a majestic beauty, in my opinion.
ya there have been worst sprites
I don't know, I think Moltres has a pretty bad Red/Blue sprite. Yellow too.
Red
Yellow
And yet, for Yellow they use the same back-sprite for Moltres from RBG.
On the subject of bad Moltres sprites, what about bad shinies? Becuase the Silver shiny sprite makes it look like someone plucked all of Moltres's feathers off....

The Yellow sprite actually isn't all that bad, but the RB one...u-g-l-y, it ain't got no alibi, that thing is ugly!
I dunno, something about the Yellow sprite just seems off to me. I think it's the beak, it doesn't look sharp enough.
