I prefer Fire types but I have to admit grass starters have the most consistently good designs.

I understand that the technology of a GB was shitty to sprite something, but Gen 1 sprites are absolutely awful... it's not like "they couldn't" draw them because of technology, it's like they were shit at drawing and they let the sprites as they was at the first try.

Unlike all of its predecessors, it fails to implement some form of vegetation or plant-life into its design.

I dunno, it just looks off. If it wasn't green, you wouldn't be able to tell it was a grass-type. The same couldn't be said for the others.

Actually no, they didn't. The only currently living fossiles among Reptiles are Crocodillia, Alligator Snapping Turtle,, Snapping Turtle, Pig-Nosed Turtle, and Tuatara.

Snakes and Tortoises did not exist with Dinosaurs.

What does everyone hate about Serperior? It may just be the fact that it was my first shiny, but I don't see any flaws with it.

Also, can we verify that that's Chesnaught's actual size? Because that fucker is HUGE if that's an accurate scale.

It's not an accurate scale, also Serperior just dropped the ball, maybe if it had kept his limbs.

It's the best of the Unova starters, but it's just not very interesting and rather mediocre in battle.

Yes, what I meant is that at first sight, I found it bad. Only by understanding its design that I finally coul like it

That is its size yes, remember that the GB/C sprites had to be 32x32 due to screen size 3DS is much bigger

I think he meant in comparison to the other Pokemon, because Venusaur is like 6'4" or 6'11", so Chesnaught would be huge in comparison based on that.

I don't understand how he thinks they are physically to scale... OP has obviously just put the sprites together. Nothing to do with scaling them

It does, though. It's just that it usually has it's hands behind it's back, making them look like some kinda cape. But I agree, if it had longer arms it'd look neater.

Also, I agree. I wish Serperior was more useful; it figures, the only shiny I ever get is one that's useless in battle. At least it's pretty.

The cape arms just look weird to me.
