In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the sprites for the [[Kanto]] Pokémon are mainly based on contemporary Red and Blue artwork, with some of the new elements tentatively introduced there (like Nidoqueen's fangs) making a return. Much like with Yellow, [[Pokémon Crystal]] later changed a good handful of sprites, taking a Pokémon's respective artwork as a basis. This mostly affected the [[Johto]] Pokémon, and this time around the back sprites were also updated here and there.

[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] is likely when the artwork was starting to be drawn before the sprites, leaving most of the inconsistencies to changed colors or somewhat off-model sprites. However, many of the Generation I and II Pokémon were either copied directly from Crystal, or based on Red and Green or Red and Blue artwork, as those Pokémon had yet to be redrawn for FireRed and LeafGreen.
