  • It's time for the yearly Pokémon sprite video. These are some just-for-fun videos "analyzing" the best, worst, or just weirdest Pokémon sprites used in games across all generations. This time, I went over the weirdest sprites from the original Japanese releases, before we even saw Red & Blue version released internationally.
    Songs used (in order):

    the funniest thing about how the hitmonchan "looks like a togekiss watching a doduo taking a dump" is how accurate that statement is

    I like the music in the video. It sounds like a combination of funky 80's stuff mixed with Game Boy.

  • @alishac5540
    @alishac5540 8 років тому +12

    This list is painfully spot-on. The "winner" in worst Red/Green sprites has to be either Ekans or Charizard. Mew is a close third in my book. I know it's supposed to sort of resemble both a cute kitten and a fetus, but Red/Green Mew steers way too far toward fetus and not enough toward cute kitten. Then again, there's a little bit of personal bias coming through since Mew is also my favorite Pokémon, so it's even worse to me that in that one game, Mew has such a sucky sprite. (I think every other Mew sprite is pretty good.) Oddly enough, Mewtwo's sprite in Red/Green matches his artwork better than in Red/Blue, although that one isn't bad since he still looks pretty menacing.
    Another Red/Green sprite that I've always found rather hilarious is Moltres' sprite. Now I see where James got his "Flaming Moltres" routine from. xD

    • @MrTopTenList
      @MrTopTenList  8 років тому +2

      The silver lining is they continuously improved the artwork looking at the jump from these games to Pokémon Yellow and then to 2nd Gen, and looking back, the weird sprites gave everyone something fun to talk about.

    • @alishac5540
      @alishac5540 8 років тому

      +MrTopTenList Very true :) it's amazing how many of the sprites became better in Pokémon Yellow alone, not to mention how much better all of them looked in the 2nd gen. Although like another person said I do hope you do a Pokémon Yellow list too, since there were still quite a few sprites that just looked off. A lot of it was due to botched colors, IMO, but there are some that are inexplicably weird. Like how Muk looks like it's attempting to walk on all fours...xD

    • @MrTopTenList
      @MrTopTenList  8 років тому +1

      Alisha C I will definitely do Yellow sprites at some point! I coved Japanese Red/Green, Red/Blue, and Gold/Silver/Crystal, so Yellow version is the next logical step to complete the sprite analysis of the first two generations.

  • @ZakaryShindle1-933
    @ZakaryShindle1-933 4 роки тому +1

    Actually the reason why the sprites look wierd. Is beacuse they were created first, before the artwork, so the artwork is based on the sprites but more with revamped details to the designs.

  • @MrGatsu
    @MrGatsu 8 років тому +10

    The original Pokemon red, green, and blue have aged pretty badly compared to today's standards. The sprites looked weird, the world's were empty, there wasn't a lot to do, the special stats combined into one stat, and the psychic type was broken with no weaknesses as there weren't any ghost type moves to damage them, or dark types.

    • @MrGatsu
      @MrGatsu 8 років тому +4

      They are still great games, they were amazing at the time, but the games just haven't aged well over the years, Gold, Silver, and Crystal haven't aged spectacular eaither in my opinion, but there were some things that were fixed, and is good to take a look.

    • @Odinfrost
      @Odinfrost 6 років тому

      1 year late reply: Psychic still had its weakness to bug types. Not that it mattered much as one was Leech Life which only 3 families could learn, 2 of which were part poison and the last was the Paras line.
      The other being Pin Missile which only Beedrill and Jolteon could learn, so not much good that would do, and finally there was Twin Needle which was Beedrills signature move so, yeah... not happening
