The first-generation Sugimori art does not have the square "box" design either. The original Red/Green art definitely shows the shell's segments opening up so the cannons can come out (the edges are rounder and there is no "box" enclosing the cannon on all sides, just a hole that the cannon is coming out of with a shell segment raised over it), and all the other older-style Sugimori art in the gallery also has the rounded shell-flaps rather than the "box" of the newer designs. I am noticing that the anime seems to have always used the "box" design rather than the older games' "round shell-flaps" one, so it's possible that it's another case of the anime designs seeping into the games over time (like how the original Pikachu was much chubbier and less-humanoid than the anime's version, which over time became the one used in the games too.) I'd say this looks like an actual design change over time and not just a case the Red/Green/Blue sprites being iffy.

:As was already noted when this was brought up before, sprite changes are generally not notable. Readers can see for themselves when they look at the sprite box; if we don't have anything to say about it except "it exists", we shouldn't be mentioning it at all.
