I'll never understand why they decided to fuck up Ho-oh this bad in HGSS. The colors actually look much nicer compared to DP but his long downward neck, his weird facial expression and his spread out legs make him look goofy as fuck.
Same goes for many other legendaries that got new sprites like Lugia, Mewtwo and Moltres from the top of my head. They all look much worse.
