Strange/Bad Pokémon Sprites

Achromatic · May 6, 2015

So me and @[member="Sheep"] were talking about weird Pokémon sprites from old and newer gens too. What are some weird/bad Pokémon sprites you can think of?

So...so whats going on here...

I need an adult

Literally just lettuce.

And of course we can't forget this monstrosity.

Share some with us here!

Pretty much every single one of the first gen sprites were just weird. Golbat is one of the worst. I mean, really. What the hell is that?! Here's a few more that I find weird.

And people say Gen 1 is the absolute best...

I'd say I find this weird

It always disturbed me how it seemed that Swampert's right shoulder was elevated...

Screwed up Koffing right here.

Too much poffins.

Get out of here!

Uhh my head hurts.

Aah it's getting worse!

Who could forget armed Kakuna?

Lastly, found this on Smogon.

IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE

The Ghastly got no body in Gen 1, is just a cloud of well gas.

Nidoran F had no horn in Red and Blue.

Someone call Weepinbell, Ekans stole its face.

What's happening to Meowth?

Goldeen called, she wants her tail back.

What does one call this? A Neopet? Charmeleon is supposed to be a Flaming Hot Cheeto, not this. ._.

Vulpix's back sprite looks awful.. really does. Doesn't even look like the Pokémon you see from the front.

Also it took me a moment to realize what this thing was:

Dragonair, really? x'D; It's so hard to look at, especially when Dragonair was supposed to be a very pretty and elegant Pokémon... also talked to Ben about this last night but the odd pixelation on Mew's tail looks so awkward during the animation frames. Easier to notice against a lighter background so I linked it instead of posting an image (since most of you are using dark themes on the forum).

Mr. Mime is creepy enough, but his Red/Blue sprite is just... Someone strike that violin note from Psycho please.

Click to expand...

Mr. Mine in every generation is creepy. Might as well put every sprite of him on here.

Omg mew is fucking creepy I thought golbat was bad but this is a new level

The emerald sprites in general are kinda weird I mean

I always thought the feraligatr sprite was a little strange.

That booty tho.

Bellsprout sort of scares me too.

Wobbuffet looks depressed... Sorry, buddy, you're just not very good... Don't worry, I'm here for you! ;n;

WHAT THE ELK?! I mean, I know it's part of a two-frame animation, but still, it looks like a deformed monstrosity...

Generation 1: Making psychopaths since 1996

Zubat on a stick! Get your Zubat on a stick here at your local supermarket!

Uh... you do that.

That's it for me, at least, for now.
