In Heart Gold and Soul Silver they gave you the option to have your first pokemon in your party walk behind you. Some of the sprites they gave were good, some were bad.

So tell me which pokemon do you think have the best and worst Walking Sprites?

Mine so far,
Best: Mamoswine
It looks so darn cute, It almost looks like it's stalking you though
Worst:Entei
It should be bigger than the player, not smaller!
 
I was vaguely disappointed that Spiritomb hops along with its stone instead of coming out of your backpack. I realize this wouldn't work for the P-thlon, but it'd still be neat if the stone was established as immobile.
 
I LOVE Bulbasaur's sprite as it follows you. Slobro, Snorlax and Houndoom are all epic as well (not to mention all of the major legendaries).
 
Crocnaws walking sprite is the only one it have that's good^^
I liked the walking sprite over battle sprites in almost all cases, so I just gonna say their all good :D
 
I realy like my sceptiles walking sprite. If im facing south and its behind me, it looks like its either giving me a massage or repeatedly punching me in the head.
 
the fact they keep walking even when stopped somewhat annoyed me. DPPt didn't have that problem.

But my favorite thus far has to be Giratina.

Not all of them keep walking.

I am highly amused by Snorlax because it's standing upright whooooa. xD I like most of my team's walking sprites, cause they all get time outside the pokéball. :3 Though I think I did have my Ambipom out more cause it was pretty ahead in levels at some point in the game. xD
 
My favourite is probably noctowl, but I don't use it often anymore because mine's not very strong.
I don't like the way ninetales looks though, and I imagined haunter to be much bigger.

Which ones stop?
 
Best: Regigigas.
I was trading over my legends from my Platinum, walked outside with Regigigas and was like "WHAT THE FU-"

Worst: Ho-oh
He jumps from wings up to wings down... maybe that's a fault of the walking itself though, only having two sprites :B
 
I love Skitty, Magneton, and Teddiursa's walking sprites.

Magnezone scares me a bit. When you save, you can see the red eye glaring at you!
 
I don't like how the shiny Sky Forme Shaymin sprite looks, and overall both Shaymin sprites are a little small and lack some of the 'cuteness' factor they should encompass.

On the other hand, Mew and Celebi's walking sprites are so good that they make up for the ugly front battle sprites both got in HGSS.

I also like Stantler, Linoone, Lotad, Ludicolo and Magmortar walking sprites.
 
I don't like the Meowth one. I thought it was a Persian when I saw it at the Celedon Condominiums.

Mew's is cuter than its Platinum one.

I also don't get how Ho-Oh is too big to be inside buildings but Gyarados isn't. Are these "big" Pokemon only applicable if you are legendary?
 
Best---> The Krabby family (they walk sideways! xD), Exeggcute, and Weezing

Worst---> ....give me some time to think about it.
 
I'll avoid being predictable and saying Espeon. .
Pretty much anything ive trained or is in my main teams. Just out of the personal feeling it has for some reason.
Palkia made me watch my back. But made me feel like the biggest guy in Goldenrod though. No overconsenpation here.

If they take up more than one tile they can't go inside buildings. So like, Wailord can't.

Which for some reason has a smaller walking sprite than Ho-Oh.

Anyway, I noticed a glitch when walking with Rusty in Olivine (Jasmine's traded Steelix.) If you walk in the direction away from the screen into a wall, go down one step, and face Rusty, he'll remain looking in the opposite direction. I'm not sure about other locations or pokemon, but I think the Pokemon has to take up at least two squares.

No no, they all do that, everywhere

My favorite has got to be Poliwag
it's just so cute bouncing along behind me
Worst is Machamp
Og, he looks like he's punched himself in the face 18 times with all 4 arms

Cuter isn't necessarily better in this case, at least for me (some sprites in HGSS received a weird pose and treatment, such as the fugly Jolteon). And the Platinum one is the same as that of DP. Overall, that's what happens when you try to imitate the Ken Sugimori art's pose (sans the tail) for a sprite.

Mew's best sprites would have to be the Yellow and FRLG's ones.
