 Is it me or [[File:Spr_b_g1_035.png]] has upside-down tail? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 15:58, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
+== What's this? ==
+IDK, but this page seems to me more an error than the sprites themselves. Mostly because there are just a few of these that are actual errors, and the rest are just someone's misinformed perception.
+By Generation:
+In generation I for example, Ivysaur's R/B sprite IS an actual error, because it cannot stand on its hind legs. However, saying that Venusaur lacking six petals is an error is ignorance. Sprites are ALWAYS done BEFORE the artwork by Ken Sugimori, so if he wants to make last minute modifications, they are reflected in the artwork, but not in the sprites. Yes, the sprites are ugly, but when compared to the official artwork which was done months AFTER the sprites were designed (which is actually the case with all gens btw).
+For Generation II, you cannot say that sprites are wrongly colored. First (the case of Spinarak, Sneasel, Raikou, etc.) because they were designed to look like that at first, but Ken Sugimori thought they didn't look cool at all and changed them in the artwork and in Crystal. And second, the sprites were limited to 2 colors (not counting black and white), so Gligar's tongue color isn't an error. They couldn't use anything besides the two colors already picked. Designs such as Skarmory's double tail and Croconaw's head spike were uncool to the designers, so they were later changed. Still no errors.
+Your selection of Generation III suffers from the same. Coloring is done before the artwork, so it WILL look wrong. They wanted Wartortle to be purple, but Ken Sugimori chose blue for the artwork. Same happened to Growlithe (in all gens). I could say that R/S Pidgeot's back sprite IS an error, because it's just a recolor of its Gen II sprite, which lacked long feathers on its head.
+And of course, Slowbro, Gastly, Totodile and a ton more. Their Emerald shiny sprites ARE NOT wrongly colored. It was the person who riped the sprites' fault. The program they used to create the sprites made stupid asumptions upon their color palettes which broke them and look wrong, but trust me, if you play Pokémon Emerald and have those Pokémon in their shiny version, you'll notice that what we have here in Bulbapedia is wrong.
+All your Generation IV and V suffer from exactly the same as what I mentioned in Gen III.
+TL;DR. '''[[User:Hfc2x|<span style="color:#008800">h</span><span style="color:#000000">fc</span>]][[User talk:Hfc2x|<span style="color:#000000">2</span><span style="color:#008800">X</span>]]''' 00:26, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
