Horrible gen 1 sprites... for all 649 Pokémon.

And the best part is, they're totally believable. Whirlipede in particular is my favorite for how horrible it is.

Thanks to TheShinyFeraligatr for the tip.

  1. Eh. I've seen this before, but I'm reasonably certain I've seen one which had far better terrible Gen I sprites - most of those look like they were done in MS Paint by deliberately lazy people, whereas Gen I sprites look like they were drawn by actual artists... in MS Paint.

  2. Like I said with the gen 5 fakes, someone has a LOT of time. It's a shame this gen 5 demake April fools joke didn't use 'em. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1OZqsjYvRM

  3. A few of them actually look pretty good and almost ahead of their time... Just to give an example, Octillery looks arguably better there than in Gold and Silver...

    1. Tropius looks pretty cool too. But on the whole, they suck.

  4. Mamoswine's is positively hideous... Medicham looks set to start another Jynx-controversy, but I think my pick of the bad bunch is Slaking!

  5. Running commentary:

    Furret: "Ha ha, what the hell."
    Quagsire: "This guy, I don't even know."
    Wobbuffet: "Looks like the stereotypical old guy yelling at kids."
    Steelix: "I had to squint to figure out what it was."
    Granbull: "Looks like a kindergartener drew this one."
    Quilfish: "Ooh, looks like someone had their feelings hurt."
    At this point, I realize that there are way too many funny ones to comment on. I'll just list my favorites:
    Whiscash, Raikou, Solrock, Huntail (HAHAHAHAHA), Slaking, Lickylicky, Rhyperior, and Swoobat.

    This is absolutely genius.

  6. Tentaquil... >_>

    I've seen it before, but it is no less amazing how someone put all these together! Gen 1 had some goofy sprites to be sure, and it is nice to see how the other Pokémon would believably look with limited sprite capabilities. It's fun to see some of the more intricate designs be brought down to size!

  7. And in about 8 months, they will have to make about 200 more...

  8. Here, there was another seperate project that had started doing bad Gen 1 backsprites too, although that one only did Unova and I haven't seen it in a while so it's probably 'canceled' http://imgur.com/nPyN0YC

  9. Although the majority of them look hideous, some of them don't look half bad, like Swampert.

    1. It's a Tentaquil, supposedly. There's a page about it on Know Your Meme if you're interested.

  11. Aaaand we have our new Eeveelution! Time to play everyone's favorite game: Guess! That! Pokémon's! Type! It is not a Dragon, Poison, or Ghost Pokemon by its looks. Any guesses?...

  15. At least Ampharos looks decent.

    These are so bad they're funny.
