Hey! Just curious. My favorite is Shiny charizard from Leafgreen. I'm sorta obsessed. Just something mystical about the big black dragon. Then they changed it to purple. What. The. Hell. It's barney! Anyways... What about you guys?

Shiny Charizard is still black; although since Gen IV it's more of a blacky grey than a pure black. It was only purple back in Gen II; so it was changed from purple to black, not the other way around.
With a lot of Pokémon (Charizard included, actually) I prefered their HGSS sprites over what was eventually used in BW (The majority of the Pokémon had their DP sprites animated). An example is how in BW, Raikou and Suicune's HGSS sprites are used, but Entei's DPt (Which I hate >>) is used - what the heck?

Blastoise's Hg/Ss sprite looked ridiculous compared to in Platinum.
Gyarados looked awesome in Hg/Ss but B/W......not really.
Sceptile looked perfect in Gen.3 but after that they screwed the sprite up in Gen.4, although it looks better now in B/W.

They really had something going with this sprite.
Some evil ninja monkey with ice shards out its back > girly mary sue dark-type with pink feathers or w/e...
Dragonite's HG/SS sprite I though was very well done and was one of my favorite sprites of all time.
But when B/W came out Dragonite went from looking like this
to this
.
The B/W sprite looks just horrible, Dragonite looks a lot thiner then it should be and I hate how the arms look on the sprite. The HG/SS looks like what Dragonite should look like which is a large,yellow bulky dragon.

Dragonite was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the name of this tread and as I see other people noticed this. I liked how HG/SS Dragonite did the fist threating which gave it the badass factor. In B/W it just looks idiotic.

I miss Kakuna's original sprite from R/B:
Kinda reminds me of a zombie, with the arms and all. Much more badass.
Also, just about every sprite from yellow was amazing, some even surpassing modern sprites IMO.

I thought HG/SS's sprite of Moltres was a bad choice. I guess that's really the only thing that sticks out to me.
I guess I am kinda disappointed in some of the 'little design traits' being dropped from Gen I's sprites, such as Vaporeon no longer having tiny fins on its feet, or Machamp's horns being replaced by ridges. But then again, the Generation I Sugimori art didn't depict those either.

Slowking's sprite in B/W comes to mind for me.
I mean, come on, all he does is rock back and forwards. It doesn't even have any special frames of animations like most other Pokemon.

Jolteon was amazing in D/P/Pt. The sprite was, in my opinion, one of the best yet.
But then HG/SS came into the picture, and we were left with this:
It's quite a downgrade imo. The anatomy's off and the face is disproportional...

Floatzel in DP was so badass

Methinks you need to hit the gym Floatzel :\

Mewtwo from DPPt to HGSS. :/ What kind of silly pose is THAT?
From all badass and stuff to some goofy anorexic "see how far can i stretch my arms" pose. :/ I am SO glad BW used the DPPt sprite.
I don't see much a difference. D:

Houndoom looked great in Platinum.
But then they changed him into this
For shame.....

Oh Arceus, I can't believe I forgot about that! Seriously, this is why I'm never poké-transferring my Dragonite to White.

Machop's HG/SS sprite looked really good until they reused the god awful Platinum sprite in B/W -__-"
-->
Seriously what is this? It makes him look like a monkey.
And I really wish they used Magmortar's epic Platinum sprite in B/W too

Oh god why???? T___T The moving flames are pretty nice though.
