>>26551854Gen I sprites looked like they'd been done by someone who had looked at the official art once and drew them all from memory.
Gen II sprites mostly looked like blobs and lots of them were shit (Sneasel being the worst)
Gen III was an oversaturated mess and most of the new Pokemon looked like they'd been done by someone who had looked at the official art once and drew them all from memory.
Gen IV was a slight improvement, but had shitty animations thrown on top.
Gen V was ok but there were lots of re-used sprites/poses, especially for older Pokemon and the animations looked fucking awful. They also had to make 2 sprites back and front with the same movement to keep shit consistent and that's a fucking waste of time.
