Pokemon Red & Green: The worst Pokemon Sprite
 
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.
http://spriters-resource.com/gameboy...n/pokémon2.png
I have to say either Poliwrath or Ekans... There's something wrong with them. Mew seems to have spine problems, too.

RK-9 May 16, 2010 09:41:38 AM

I'll make a list: Ekans, Sandshrew, the Jigglypuff line, Persian (or however you spell it, forgot), Machamp, Geodude,Gastly,Hypno's nose,Exxegutor, Scyther, Jolteon and Myu.

Magmaster12 May 16, 2010 09:49:27 AM

I'll say Magmar.

Yoshi648 May 16, 2010 09:56:50 AM

Wigglytuff, Farfetch'd and Exxegutor.

OMGITSJAD May 16, 2010 10:09:41 AM

Kakuna 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.

OMGITSJAD May 16, 2010 10:13:05 AM

Magmar's sprite doesn't look half bad to me.

mariothecellist May 16, 2010 01:08:02 PM

Golem is too happy.

Velociraptor78 May 17, 2010 08:03:06 AM

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.

Luxray13579 May 17, 2010 09:34:02 AM

Ok I have to say it: That Dragonite is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen.

TheRagingTyranitar May 17, 2010 11:27:05 AM

Ekans has big mouth.
Hypno is on drugs.
What the hell is wrong with Machamp?
Geodude looks gay.
Marowak looks like a plush.
Mew looks retarded.

Sunny May 17, 2010 11:33:10 AM

Clefable 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<

Velociraptor78 May 17, 2010 12:30:26 PM

Wait till you see the backsprites...

Shiny May 17, 2010 07:31:16 PM

I think Mew, Bubasaur and Gengars sprites look horrible to me. Especially Gengars. he looks all messed up. I think Charizards sprite is bad too because his back sprite looked like a donkey to me at first xD

Ningamer May 17, 2010 10:55:41 PM

I don't think they changed the back-sprites for the US release... Hence why Venasaur's back-sprite still looks like a cabbage.

PokeRemixStudio May 17, 2010 11:33:27 PM

Some of that stuff is almost nightmare fuel.

Pichu_theworld_ruler May 18, 2010 01:12:11 PM

Primape looks like it's exploding...

-Pichu

Quadcentruo May 19, 2010 06:02:42 PM

KrayzeeGuy May 20, 2010 12:51:12 PM

Golbat scares me, and Mew, who I love, looks like... looks like.... Yeah...

Alakazamaster May 20, 2010 12:54:32 PM

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.

Quadcentruo May 20, 2010 03:10:29 PM

It kinda looks like it's shrugging.

LostnFound May 20, 2010 03:42:25 PM

To me i think that Charizard is the worst sprite I've ever seen.

Madhound26 May 26, 2010 12:48:33 PM

Venusaur looks Messed Up
Golem looks tO Happy and
Machamp looks gay
Snorlax Is doing situps to lose weight

Ningamer May 26, 2010 01:00:57 PM

Farfetch'd looks a bit retarded...

Turtwig May 27, 2010 01:00:46 PM

I'd say Golem, Rhydon, and Gengar.

Sableyed May 27, 2010 05:29:58 PM

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

Quadcentruo May 27, 2010 05:33:25 PM

On closer inspection of some Pokemon, Lickitung looks very angry.
It's as if someone got mad then stuck their tongue out...

Madhound26 May 28, 2010 07:48:19 AM

Marowak looks like a toy

Charizard98 June 5, 2010 06:43:51 AM

It's like looking at a car crash with vomit all over it! 90% of them are AWFUL!

Woah, that's a bit far, dont you think? .-.

Look at Arcanine's face. Heheh.

Buizel456 June 5, 2010 12:42:23 PM

Mew, Ditto, Snorlax, and Gastly

NismoZ June 5, 2010 01:40:02 PM

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.

Buizel456 June 6, 2010 12:03:17 AM

Don't forget, Machop, Machoke, and Machamp

Jason_Henge June 6, 2010 08:22:24 AM

Lol @ Wigglytuff.

Mew is the worse to me. Poor little guy and his humpy head.

Blues June 8, 2010 05:27:34 AM

Am I the only one who's noticing Charizard? I mean look at him! One of his feet is floating to the side of his body.

~Joshers~ June 24, 2010 06:53:32 AM

Charmander and his evolutions.... ._.

SergeiDragunov June 24, 2010 08:51:23 PM

I personally think Mr. Mime's original sprite is the best one he's ever had.

But for horribleness, Nidoqueen... No, because no.

PokeRemixStudio June 24, 2010 09:57:06 PM

This is the worst sprite of all time (pkmn blue)
http://serebii.net/Pkmn_Red/042.gif

piexing June 24, 2010 10:11:36 PM

Myuu 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. :>

Neo Pikachu June 24, 2010 10:40:44 PM

The 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!

Quadcentruo July 20, 2010 04:08:25 PM

Oh, god ****it PRS, this sprite scared me as I was scrolling down because I wasn't expecting it. I'm not even joking about that either.

.name//Technomancer July 20, 2010 10:09:52 PM

Gastley looks like it was made with MS Paint... >.>;

I mean, all of them do, but it looks like Gastley in particular was made using the Spraycan tool... o_o;

Idno58 July 21, 2010 05:51:52 AM

There's something seriously wrong with that machamp.

Rich231 July 22, 2010 11:46:21 AM

Mew, looks like someone pulled his face far too long.

Turtwig July 26, 2010 06:42:43 PM

Technically, almost all the sprites are ugly...this is the game we all had to start out with.

GrassPokemonFTW July 27, 2010 08:19:06 PM

Charizard, Exeggutor (SPELL IT RIGHT PEOPLE.), Mew, Vileplume, Machamp, Geodude, Golem, and Hypno.

[TRDRS]PokeTrader July 28, 2010 05:55:27 AM

A bunch are f**ked up but the one that is worst is Venusaur, it looks like roadkill with a tree growing out its back.

JC July 28, 2010 10:46:55 AM

Gengar looks fat
Machamp looks like its on crack

SuperEspeon25 July 28, 2010 02:04:11 PM

I would say Charmelon its back sprite is TERRIBLE

Cam Chomp July 29, 2010 10:30:34 PM

I think Mr Mime, Ditto and Charizard

emperorempoleon2 July 31, 2010 02:52:42 PM

Definitely Lickitung.

RotomGuy August 14, 2010 01:45:26 AM

Lickitung, 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.

Quadcentruo August 16, 2010 07:08:53 PM

Parasect in this game is nightmare fuel to a little kid... and possibly me.

Serenade August 17, 2010 08:03:59 PM

I actually kind of like them, knowing how mind numbing it is to sit and pixel things in of course, I think they are fairly well made.

What I did notice though, is how few 151 actually is.

Demon Raichu August 21, 2010 02:03:18 PM

It looks like it's about to eat you or something.

mariothecellist August 21, 2010 03:26:48 PM

What if Feebas was in this game? It would definitely be the ugliest Pokemon!

02 August 22, 2010 10:06:20 AM

Ekans looks like some kind of deformed duck or something. O_o

Gary Oak August 23, 2010 04:44:22 AM

I guess their nit all bad but their is some messed up ones maybe their the ones i battled i don't know.

He's shrugging 'cause he's like, "WTF were they smoking when they made this?"

_.-Mew August 23, 2010 06:53:42 AM

Gastly. It looks like crap floating around.

GuildmasterWigglytuff August 30, 2010 03:55:32 AM

They have completely disrespected the amazing style of Wigglytuff! It's an outrage.

oboy170 August 31, 2010 02:28:38 PM

Hitmonchan looks like a Togekiss sneaking up on a Doduo. Wigglytuff and Machamp are just..... odd..... Haunter looks cool though.

Fubab_107 September 5, 2010 08:32:02 AM

Imagine if they stuck with these, Imagine Gens 2,3,4 and 5. O_O

aabbiq September 5, 2010 12:30:24 PM

Looks like Gengar lost some weight for the US release.

And that Lickitung is going to give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

Ninja September 5, 2010 12:32:14 PM

Lickitung is horriffic... Is it ill?

And Horsea has some sort of deformity...

LucarioMario September 5, 2010 05:26:52 PM

*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.

Searinox September 12, 2010 04:27:39 AM

Mew gets my vote for being a deformed embryo. XD

pokemoneinstein September 14, 2010 03:23:33 PM

Pikachu looks like Hamtaro, and Wigglytuff just looks nothing like it, it a funny way, but who made the Farfetch'd sprite, is what I want to know... I mean that's just so hilariously bad! :lol:

SuperEspeon25 September 25, 2010 06:23:52 AM

Loving Charizard! Haha! But seriously, Voltorb might want to get some ice for that bump...

coteup September 26, 2010 02:56:15 PM

charmander venasaur and mew koffing looks like he is asking a lady to dance and omnymite looks like its a psyduck (its holding its head) and last (and least) genger looks like a hairy beast

I described that a bit wrong, but seriously. Doesn't it look horrible?

And for the record, I think it's a fish.

SuperEspeon25 October 8, 2010 04:04:26 PM

NO It looks EPIC and HOW THE F*** IS IT A GODDAM FISH

pokemoneinstein October 8, 2010 08:24:15 PM

Wait, did anybody mention Vileplume yet? That's pretty... terrible. They obviously didn't have much experience making games.

MultiWishMaker October 8, 2010 09:53:13 PM

Mew looks like a retarded Hunchedback Rat!

And that was obviously a joke. Stop taking everything I say seriously and also quit arguing over something opinion based. -.-

MultiWishMaker October 9, 2010 03:45:52 PM

I still think The Hunchback of Notre'Kanto wins it all....(yes I made a stupid joke about it o_O):lol:

KamexRyu October 10, 2010 04:08:09 AM

Mew's brain can be seen through its head, Vileplume looks hand drawn and sandshrew just looks weird.

Another person to add to my Mew looks RETARDED notes!!

Pflanze April 19, 2011 11:01:05 PM

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.

CharmanderMaster108 September 3, 2011 06:45:19 PM

Eevee is ugly. Actually he looks like he just got his face deformed by a Koopa. Charmander is oh-so cute. WTHeck is with Mew?

PHANTOMxTRAINER September 5, 2011 06:20:49 AM

SyracuvatTenlii September 6, 2011 06:45:23 PM

I think the last 5 at the bottom right corner are just plain horrible. It's like they didn't even try with those ones...

Masterge77 September 26, 2011 01:37:23 PM

Golbat and Exeggutor are probably the most frightening sprites to me.

7dewott8 September 26, 2011 01:45:52 PM

Scyther and cubone are pretty awful.

But Magicarp seems completly normal in my eyes.

Pwesty September 26, 2011 02:44:51 PM

Gengar and Chansey just kinda look fat intead of whatever body shape they normally have.

kakashidragon September 26, 2011 11:24:28 PM

I heard about green version, japan has in japanese only and you have to buy it from them from over seas. But i would like to know whats so different about green than Red and Blue? (Besides the sprites)

teamplasma September 27, 2011 01:29:44 PM

Best: Jolteon

Worst (duh-duh-duh): Chansey (a total derp on their part)

Dead4life September 28, 2011 07:52:11 AM

strange why your talking about a game which was relased along time ago before the ds and other things

BTW Older games have worse graphics.

Reuniclus September 28, 2011 02:24:37 PM

My opinions of certain ones:
Meowth is too fat.
Eevee, Kakuna, and Lickitung look scary.
Wigglytuff: 0.o
Mew: What happened to it's head?

SuperPansear151 October 17, 2011 04:56:50 PM

Well 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.

Twiggy October 21, 2011 01:48:57 AM

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).

Feraligatr October 27, 2011 02:21:53 PM

Charizard most definitely. It looks like a frikking donkey! xD

DiamondEdge November 14, 2011 04:01:40 PM

I have to say Tangela...

Well, it doesn't even look like it has any feet.

Fuzzball November 16, 2011 03:44:23 PM

Geodude, Exegutor, Lickitung, and...Mew.

Also, Hitmonchan


Spangbot November 16, 2011 04:46:44 PM

CHARIZARD
NO
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU

Lloyd November 24, 2011 11:44:45 AM

All of them.
