  • Every year, we like to look at Pokémon sprites from a different set of games. However, for the 10-year anniversary of this tradition, we are doing a reprise of our original list that started it all: the Sprites of Red and Blue Verisions. While these were actually the second time these Pokémon were put in sprite form, right behind the original Japanese Red and Green versions, these were the first internationally released games, when many people my age first saw these Pokémon in action. With it being an early part of the now massive franchise, there were many oddities with the artstyle of the sprites in this game, so we’re seeking out to find the weirdest of the bunch. Joining me for this look at the classics is Judgment Meter and AT from Software Agents HQ. Cameo by BittyBattyBunny during the Number 4 segment.

    Although I don't think it looks weird (in fact, it looks creapier, adding to the affect), I think Gastly should've gotten an honorable mention. Yellow redesigned Gastly to be an orb surrounded by gas. But in the original sprites, Gastly was just gas with a face without the "solid" center.

  • @CarmsCelestia
    @CarmsCelestia Před 10 měsíci +8

    For Koffing: I'd love to assume it's just that the position of the Skull and bones are random, and the official sprites and battle sprites just happen to fit the best.
    Maybe the position can even move, since its a gas based POKéMON?

    @TwilightArts Před 10 měsíci +3

    By just looking at the sprites you get the idea that the artists have been told to fill as much space of the pokemon "portrait square" as possible, with as little "unfilled" pixels as possible. Even if it meant to stretch and distort the body shapes of the pokemons original design

      First part is true, but arguably not the second.

    The reason Machoke looks the way he does is in the name!!! Machop is a portmontau of Macho and chop. Machamp is a portmontau of Macho and Champ..Machoke is doing just what his name would infer! Choking at being Macho! He goes to pose and gives a doofy high school yearbook shot! Also..his arms always made me uncomfortable..like..is he working out so hard the muscles are splitting through the skin? Like, he is litterally ripped? OH MY GOD! THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING, HUH?!
