Has anybody mentioned HGSS' Marowak yet?

Because I despise this sprite. Why is its head so ungodly flat? Did the poor thing run face-first into a brick wall?!

Idk, to me it looks a lot less aggressive than other Marowak sprites. Which is a bad thing.

View attachment 47784 Scizor nailed this but I can't say the same to the anorexic cat that is what we call MewtwoView attachment 47785 .
I think it's actually nice that Mewtwo looks so skinny. It's just like Alakazam. "Alakazam is able to use all forms of psychic abilities. These powers are used to move its body, as opposed to its weak muscles." At first sight Mewtwo also looks like a Psychic-type that uses high psychic powers to move as opposed to muscles. That's why I hate the fact that physical Fighting-type Mewtwo became a thing.

I agree on that, but Mewtwo looks so different to its DPPt sprite which was waaaay better:

A more menacing pose, better facial expression, doesn't gleam like the HGSS Mewtwo.

The backsprite isn't what the front sprite is in terms of shading.

I actually like this sprite for Mewtwo because it gives it a sense of... humanity? Like in the Pokemon Origins special we see Mewtwo displaying fear, which its never been shown to do before. It makes sense; it's just minding its own business in the cave and then suddenly you come along and startle it.
 
Those weren't spikes, they were silk strands that are supposed to keep them strapped to a wall or something.

At least that's what I think those spike-like protrusions are. Regardless yeah, they looked better with them.
If that was their excuse for removing them, someone needs to explain the air-hanging Burmy.
 
Here's a question:

We already know that many nice earthbound sprites of pokémon such as Salamence and Xatu were altered for sky battles, but why didn't they do anything for Murkrow?!

Does it stand on thin air in sky battles?

I wish they just gave them flapping wings instead of a fixed pose. How the heck does this keep itself in the air..?

Then I'd rather have a spastic one like this:

Here are some more sprites:

Porygon's sprite looks so bad. >_<"
I can't help but just laugh hard as some of those. Venusaur, Weedle (freaking clown), EKANS, Golbat, GOLDUCK (LOOOL), Primeape, Golem, Machamp, Bellsprout, Hypno, Geodude, GENGAR, Mew. Damn, those days..

Tauros looks awesome, though. I remember the improvement in Yellow. Yellow had such good ones..

Lickitung. AND ALL OF THE OTHERS SHOWN. These are from Pokemon Blue (Japanese) by the way. EDIT: Sorry, I mean Red and Green.

Gyarados kills me, he's just so pissed off and that is the exact face I thought it would make when it yells "Gyashaaa!!" to your face in GSC.

I was not aware that Swinub had feet, or enjoyed standing. Allow Silver's Magcargo sprite (which I actually like.) to show my expression.

And Slugma had some Squidward issues back in Gen II.

Yes, about Groudon...

"What's this?! You serious bro?! Going 'round raising my cuteness with 'dem pink blocks? FFS, I'm the coolest mo-fo in this fuckin' game! Like Hell I will swallow these!"

(Conquest sprites are so expressionistic that I can't help imagining them in a position fitting to their expression)

"Teehee!"

"Yo mama"

Darth Vadar voice:
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
(he dropped his ice cream)

I have to admit that I secretly like Anorith and Empoleon's sprites though... It's just odd to see Anorith trying to be a Flying-type, and Empoleon pushing the fancy pimp boss attitude...
