Okay, we all know that Pokemon Red and Green in Japan had some pretty awful Pokemon sprites. And if you don't know that, you do now.
Look at the picture below and decide on the worst sprite there.
![]()
I have to say either Poliwrath or Ekans... There's something wrong with them. Mew seems to have spine problems, too.
2 – RK-9, 7dewott8Kakuna for ugliness, Wigglytuff has disproportioned eyes, Vileplume looks a 3rd grader drew it, I actually like Meowth's sprite, and I like the Abra family sprites, Hypno's nose looks like...*ahem*..., and the Krabby family looks good aswell, Eevee looks pissed, and the Horsea & Goldeen lines are horrendous.
I'd say the worst is either Farfetch'd or Lickitung though.
Electrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey, Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey, Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Gastly, Ponyta, Vaporeon, Poliwrath, Butterfree, Venomoth, Poliwag, Nidorina, Golduck, Ivysaur, Grimer, Victreebel, Moltres, Nidoking, Farfetch'd, Abra, Jigglypuff, Rhyhorn, Kingler, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Zubat, Primape, Meowth, Onix, Geodude, Rapidash, Magneton, Snorlax, Gengar, Tangela, Goldeen, Spearow, Weezing, Seel, Gyarados, Slowbro, Kabuto, Persian, Paras, Horsea, Raticate, Magnemite, Kadabra, Weepinbell, Ditto, Cloyster, Caterpie, Sandshrew, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Golem, Pikachu- *epic shots*
But honestly, most of the original sprites sucked ass. Ivysaur and Venusaur's stems are too thin, Charizard looks plain silly, Pidgey looks too photo-realistic, Nidoqueen looks less menacing, Wigglytuff's eyes are two different sizes, Golbat looks like something out of Aah! Real Monsters, Oddish line looks freaking nightmarish, Poliwrath... just no, Machop kinda looks like a duck, Geodude looks like it's dumping a load, Graveler only has 2 hands and no feet, Golem... I'm not quite sure, but it still looks weird, Muk is fli- wait, no he isn't, Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar look much more different than their current appearence, OLD MAN PEDOPHILE!, Electrode has a little lid on his head (or his body...), Exeggutor looks plain retarded, Marowak's head looks nothing like the skull worn by Cubone, Hitmonchan's face is hidden, Lickitung looks semi-frightening, Koffing's skull-and-crossbones is upside-down, Rhyhorn and Rhydon have very few differences, they still haven't made baby Kangaskhan a pre-evo, no clue why they couldn't have Kingdra in Gen. 1, LOLOL BLACK JYNX NOW RAEG AT ME, Lapras looks like it has deformed back legs, Moltres looks a bit off, and last but not least, Mew looks like a fetus.
...Wow. That's a lot of criticism.
tl;dr version; The only ones that look good are Mewtwo, Krabby, Porygon, Electabuzz, Omanyte, Kabutops, and, surprisingly, Magikarp.
1 – RaytwOSTClefable actually was cute in its sprite.
Lickitung is like, realistic creepy.
Hypno is creepy.
Chanseys head is disproportioned.
Mew is an old man with back problems.
Raichu is like DERP DERP.
Wigglytuff is like Owo
And Alakazam grew his beard/mustache out waaaaay too long.
Also GOLEM LOOKS CUTE EEEE~! >w<
1 – Masterge77LIST TIME!
-Venasaur, -Charmeleon, -Charizard, -Caterpie, -Kakauna -Ekans -Arbok -all of the nido's -Vulpix family -Zubat through Vileplume -Paras -Parasect (OMG SO SCARY!!) -Venonat family -Meowth Family -Psyduck Family -Mankey Family -Arcanine (it looks likes an idiot) -Poliwag family -Alakazam -Machop family -Bellsprout family -Golem -Gastley family (*shudders* Haunter is creepy) -Onix -Hypno -Marowak -Hitmonchan (are those... shoulder blades?) -Lickitung -Koffing family -Ryhorn family -Tangela -Gyrados -Lapras -Vaporeon -Jolteon -Moltres (looks like a flaming rooster) -Dragonair -Dragonite -Mew.
Whew! How many is that?
Now it's time for the back sprites!
Venasaur is about to be crushed underneath the overgrown parasite on its back, Wigglytuff's eyes are of unequal size, Golduck's tail is WAY too pointy, Tentacool has mini tentacles, Gengar looks like an effin' monster, Exeggutor looks mentally disabled AND drunk, Moltres looks high, and Mew... no.
Badly Different: Venasaur, Ekans, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Wigglytuff, Machamp, Poliwrath, Golem, Farfetch'd, Marowak, Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Exeggcutor, Seaking, Lapras, Articuno, Lumpy Mew
Awesomely Different: Charizard, Beedrill, Arbok, SHINY PIKACHU, Clefairy, Ninetales, Golbat, Oddish, Primeape, Victreebel Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Hypno, Kingler, Electrode, Lickitung Chansey, Evil Eevee, Jolteon, Omanyte, Kabuto, Zapdos, Dragonite
Similar: Raticate, Fearrow, Clefable, Diglett, Muk, Staryu, Starmie, Jynx, Magmar, Elctabuzz, Pinsir, Aerodactyl
Spearow's beak looks weird, Ekans' mouth is huge, Wigglytuff has one eye that's twice as big as the other, Vileplume looks like it was drawn by a kid, Primeape has spikes for fur, Arcanine has Slowpoke's face, Machop has one huge arm, Moltres has weird fire, and just about everything is wrong with Mew.
Other sprites that I just don't like: Sandslash, Venasaur, Raichu, Oddish, Digglet line, Geodude, Doduo, Gastly, Marowak, Rhyhorn, Scyther, Eevee, Porygon, Kabutobs, Articuno.
2 – Masterge77, 7dewott8Myuu oh Arceus why? D:
Mewtwo looks amazing, though. They didn't change his design at all. With color that may as well be the gen IV sprite.
I think Sandslash actually looks kind of cute. :>
1 – 7dewott8The worst looking one in my opinion has to be Mew. The three runner-ups are Dragonite, Charizard and Venusaur.
Pikachu is still looking good though!
1 – 7dewott8Lickitung, is proper stupid. That tounge is so.... gay!
Poliwraths eyes are to high up.
Hypno has had magic growth spray on his nose.
Zubat's legs are WAY to long.
Gastly is barely visible.
Mew's head. Need I say more?
Rhyhorn is bigger than his evolution.
Seriously, this could give you nightmares.
*Opens up The Spriters Resource* Oh, gawd. Well, since I have a semi-large list, I'll order them from most worst to least worst in my opinion.
1: Eevee. It looks like... Some sort of sly cat or something. It doesn't look like Eevee at all, which really dissapointed me because it's my most favorite 1st gen. Pokemon.
2: Blastoise looks like it had sixty-five Big Macs.
3. Golbat looks like it's going to kill someone. o_o
4. Gastly looks too much like gas.
5. Seadra. The fins sorta bug me.
6: Poliwrath. Just...No.
7: Pidgeot looks deformed.
8: Vileplume sort of looks like a stick figure.
9: Chansey. Again...No.
10: I thought Kingler only had one big pincer.

Oh, my beatiful Victreebel, what have they done to you?
But I like Jynx, Mr Mime, Seaking and Mew. It's supposed to be based on an embryo, so it's much more accurate than that "cute-pink-cat-thing" that we have now.
I actually have and play my green version, and I like it a lot...I guess I like when they look more like monsters.
Scyther and cubone are pretty awful.
But Magicarp seems completly normal in my eyes.
1 – Masterge77My opinions of certain ones:
Meowth is too fat.
Eevee, Kakuna, and Lickitung look scary.
Wigglytuff: 0.o
Mew: What happened to it's head?
2 – 7dewott8, LloydWell anyway my personal view is Machamp why do you look like you took tooo many drugs? Eevee why did you eat all that cake last night? Charizard stop imitating Dragonite. Mew just get surgery for your spine and Bulbasaur you look kinda normal to me because you have your teeth showing and you look like you had a really good life.
I just can't get over how terrible the Bulba family and mew looked in these old... sprites. They are just... well, seemed like that the pixel artist wasn't exactly doing a good job. I think all of this was because they were doing from memory and also not tracing over scanned art (which probably started from Yellow).
