Sprites had a limited colorway, the entire palette had a small range shared between different Pokemon, and could only be at a certain size scale that still showcases the design well enough. Incidentally, this made dexes more cohesive looking though. Also forcing a limitation on what could be done for eyes, decorative patterns, scales and armor, etc. it kept the designs in a defined pace.
