>>37908700>It was designed to be standing. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it stand in his first official sprite.Actually there are a couple of these kinds of mistakes with Gen 5's sprites. Hitmontop is shown balancing on its head rather than spinning, which we know is incorrect. And Ferroseed, another Pokemon that was introduced in Gen 5 is shown to be spinning like a top for no real reason, despite the Pokedex entry stating that it embeds itself in cave walls and floors, which its model accurately depicts.
