The Sprite Discussion Thread

[Pidgeot]

I was checking Magby's sprites, and oddly, it's RSE sprite is the same as it's DP sprite. To closer inspection, they are the completely same sprites, but with slight differences, like shading.

Discuss.

You may now dicuss any sprites.

Wow. So they are.
Have you noticed that it's RSE backsprite is the same as its GSC backsprite, just revamped to the colours of that generation? This also happens with lots of other Pokémons backsprites, I've noticed. Does this mean that between that period the sprite creators were being a bit lazy?

I think I'll change the title of this thread to 'The Sprite Discussion Thread'.

A lot of Pokemon have sprites that look the same in Gen III and DPPt. Delibird is one of them.

Nothing can beat Unown.. It has the same sprite from Gen II to IV.. XD

Yeah, and Ho-oh, Smeargle and Magby too.

Don't forget Skarmory.

 

[Kaguya]

Omanyte is "quite" the same as well..

Don't forget Skarmory.

Donphan too.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Donphan too.

What about Beautifly and Dustox? I know they were introduced in Gen III, but...

Think about it... You have to make a hundred sprites for new pokemon, and make another 100 sprites for old ones. If there's a pokemon that already looks good in it's current pose, and you have to finish the rest before, say, a month is over, you just revamp the stupid thing.

^He's right. I would do the same.
