>Art depicts Pokémon as fierce cool animals given them their mass appeal for years to come
>In game their sprites are all chibi shit with stubby bodies, exaggerated heads and rounder features

Gee I don't know, maybe hardware limitations restricted them? Maybe they needed to exaggerate the proportions to make the already small sprites readable?

The Gen 1 rendition looks much more chibi to me. The eyes are 20% of his face and his head is so big he looks like a baby. Fuck off genwunner.

Gen 1 had shitty sprites.
Why are you acting like this is a problem that's persisted beyond Gen 1 and 2?

IIRC the artwork on the right is from FRLG, 9 years after sugimori initially designed the gen 1 mons

>tfw Pokemon were designed by doodling sprites before actually drawing it as artwork, so technically the chibified sprites are the original design

almost every series ever has weird designs early on before it gets polished up later.

The sprites had a limited size to fit themselves in. They have to morph some of the features in order to properly express them in the games.

Not even. Nidoking's design was fixed in Yellow. Honestly by the time gen II rolled around most Pokémon looked like their art.

RBY Nidoking looks badass. LGPE Nidoking looks like a fat dinolet

Not only this but they were intended to fill or "complete" their allotted sprite squares. Which is why they look cramped

The early Pokemon were some of the few that were drawn on paper before their sprites before gen 4. Nidoking is among them.

Nidoking is based off of chinchillas and Rocky armor goats from the 1987 cult film Rutabega. Idk how to spell it.

Well besides the fact that I lack disorders like your autism or OCD...actually that's really it. Were you playing Pokémania? Were you even.. heh, alive during that blessed time? You know how I can tell you're a bitter loser, OP? Let me tell you why I can tell you're a bitter loser.. Because it's clear you missed out on the joy of gen 1 ~98 and making friends around that time. Do you know what "friends" are anon? Let me tell you what friends aren't. They are not the like minded bitter losers here who also missed out on Pokémania. Did you think these haters were friends? Does endless complaining together make you friends? Do you think that, OP? I do pity that you missed out on that blessed time. It must be doubly disappointing that Gamefreak caters to us, the chosen. Sad.

As someone who lived through pokemania, I'd like to apologizefor this anons post. While anon clearly contradicts this, most of us turned into functioning, civil adults.
