So many of the old sprites have such big eyes!

[@eritreawilkins4892]

Tangala not so much

[@whatsrandom6487]

I think the reason why a lot of them look like mini versions of the new one is because they wanted the features to be able to make out and be seen sense they were working on a certain pixel scale so they were probably trying to cram in as much as possible along with being displayed in a small screen at the time

[@turbomations]

5:19 was (in my opinion) One of the best altering. Instead of putting what looked like burn marks and flame-BASED design, they gave it a more horse-like vibe and added actual flames on it's legs. It's old design was still awesome though.

[@robh7800]

The sprites were always rough though, that’s why having the cards with the games was so meaningful. It let you see what was being represented in the game which let your imagination run wild

[@toslverr]

Obviously they had to work with a certain amount of pixels and space, which is why the old sprites look so squished. In reality the actual designs probably looked quite different! Some look okay, but in a lot of them imho the artist did not do a great job of translating the sprites into a design (wtf was up with that eyeliner rhydon was rocking lol. Or the weird scales on horsey's back). It seems like they took a little too much creative freedom in some places.
