Pokemon Sprite Guide, Japanese Red and Green Pt. 1

The sprites of Pokemon have evolved over time, from their original Japanese R/G renditions, to the current HG/SS sprites. Here is a guide to the original sprites.

001 - Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur was done decently, even though he looks a little chubby

002 - Ivysaur
This is just wrong. Ivysaur here looks like a really fat crouched dog, and its plant on its back is gigantic. 

003 - Venusaur                                                                                                                         Like Ivysaur, Venusaur looks squished. Maybe it shouldn't have grown such a giant palm tree on its back.
