Worst Pokemon Sprites?

I'm gonna say things about each Gen 1 sprite I don't like. (Red & Blue)

- Ivysaur is a quadruped.
- I love how Charmeleon and Charizard just keep the same face.
- Squirtle just looks like he's dying inside.
- Blastoise just looks like he came from an inflation fetish site from DeviantArt.
- METAPOD YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO CURVE LIKE THAT
- Weedle just looks emotionless.
- When I saw Kakuna with scyther blades, I laughed so hard.
- I can barely see Pidgey's eye.
- oh god raticate's mouth is huge
- And I said Weedle was emotionless, you should see Spearow.
- Raichu has Blastoise-syndrome.
- For some reason, I don't like when Sandshrew sits down.
- Nidorina looks like she's ready for sex.
- Clefable just looks like she's about to roast somebody.
- Vulpix has no mouth.
- I don't like the sprite where Ninetales breathes fire.
- Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff just look like serial killers.
- OH GOLBAT WHY
- Vileplume just looks like that clock dude from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2.
- Parasect looks depressed.
- PSYDUCK DONT SNAP YOUR NECK
- Mankey looks like he's trying to do the YMCA dance.
- Arcanine is dying inside. For just 5 dollars a day, you can end an arcanine's suffering.
- Poliwhirl just looks like, "woah what I'm awake I'm ready to fight"
- Poliwrath looks like he's from one of the villainous teams. I think Team Flare.
- Jesus, Alakazam's gotten younger in the more recent games.
- Machoke looks like he has someone in a headlock.
- Okay, Weedle and Spearow aren't the emotionless ones, Weepinbell is.
- Tentacool has no tentacles. It disturbs me.
- Tentacruel has that 'fine, mom' pose.
- Graveler looks like he's gonna slam you into the ground at any second.
- OH GOD SLOWBRO DONT DO THAT THAT LOOKS WRONG
- Why doesn't one of the Magneton's magnemites have an eye?
- One of Doduo's heads looks like it wants to be cut off.
- Why is Seel bigger than Dewgong?
- Grimer looks like that one kid that always tries to be intimidating on Halloween but never is.
- Gastly is nothing.
- Hypno looks like a drug dealing psychopath.
- Kingler: *breathe in*
- Krabby: boi
- Why is one of the Exeggcute's eggs FREAKING HUGE?
- Why is Cubone so small?
- I don't think tongues are supposed to bend that way, Lickitung.
- What is up with Koffing though?
- Chansey has no spine.
- Tangela is just a big bowl of noodles with, like, a Paras in it.
- Goldeen has that 'fuck you' face on.
- Seaking looks full-on retarded.
- Mr. Mime is the real drug dealing psychopath, not Hypno.
- Scyther looks like he's about to stab somebody in the heart.
- Jynx just looks like Oprah shrugging.
- Electabuzz, Magmar, and Pinsir, why are you guys scratching your heads?
- Porygon looks like Pingu. NOOT NOOT
- Omastar just looks psychotic.
- Kabuto is literally just a rock.
- Snorlax wants you to draw him like one of his French girls.
- Moltres looks like he's flying for the first time ever.
- Dratini looks like a snake.
- Mewtwo has that Shia LaBeouf pose. JUST DO IT!
 
I'm gonna say things about each Gen 1 sprite I don't like. (Red & Blue)

- Ivysaur is a quadruped.
This one is quite funny, as Red and Blue do state that Ivysaur cannot walk on its hind legs.

In comparison, Red and Green don't say a thing about it and Ivysaur is on all fours in its sprite.

Huh, that's actually quite interesting. I mean, it sure can stand on its fore legs. It's been proved in Brawl. But definitely not its hind legs.
 
You know, there's a lot of shiny Pokemon I wouldn't mind having.

But fuck me if this is one of them.
And why's that? Is there anything you're particularly not fond of in its color scheme and/or design? I ask because it looks pretty cool imo.

But ya know what isn't cool? Emolga's 3d model. I literally loved this little fella and would go out of my way to catch one everytime I played BW/B2W2. But then gen6 does this to it:



It might be just me, but it looks just like one of those lifeless hot air balloons from Super Training.
 
Swampert is doing the dab in it's DP sprite...






Agh! Foiled again



Luvdisc changed color in gen 5




Metagross's platinum backsprite disturbs me... It looks like an arm rising out of a heap of scrap metal or something.




Marill has seen some stuff...



KAAAAMEEEHAAAMEEE...

would be surprised if this has not been mentioned before but:

god this is so ugly, completely ruins the point of purrloin being "deceptively cute" or their "cute act being a ruse" as its pokedex entries describe and instead looking so weirdly humanoid, having an ugly face, and that sassy pose is so ugh. gen 5 really nailed it in my opinion with this:

the sprite is so perfect for purrloin, making it seem mean yet lovable all the same

its dreamworld sprite also gives it such a cute look, i'm not sure what gamefreak was thinking with the gen 6/7 sprite honestly
 

CTNC

Doesn't know how to attack
Wtf is this thing anyway.
Maybe it's because I'm reading The Martian, but the first one look like a rat made from a potato. The second one looks like it wants to be used for curling.


Let me check other Raticate sprite to double check the potato thing. I've got to be insane to think Raticate looks like a potato...

0_o um... I... what... If the first one isn't a potato, it's a football, but the second one is definitely a potato.

The good news is I don't think he looks like a potato in 3D...

It kind of looks like a potato, but it may just be me...


In other news, Bayleef's neck looks very, very weird in this sprite.

Greninja really looks like he has to pee. More so for the front sprite version.
 
XY Flareon? COME ON! REALLY?

The tail is almost as big as Flareon itself!
And don't get me started on the ears. They're huge!

Don't get me wrong, I like all the Eeveelutions, especially Sylveon!

Litten's model is pretty ugly.
Don't hate Litten! LITTEN IS COOL!!!!

MOD EDIT: Do not double post. Use the Edit button!



They got it wrong again! (no surprise there...)
It looks like it's taking a--you-know-what!
