The first few generations are interesting due to the sprites having been made ''before'' the artwork, rendering the "errors" and other oddities as nothing more than design revisions. | The first few generations are interesting due to the sprites having been made ''before'' the artwork, rendering the "errors" and other oddities as nothing more than design revisions.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9l8V_eQ6wGQ?t=273 Game Informer interview]</ref> | ||
[[Generation I]], for instance, had the original designs tweaked in some places, with ''Pokémon Blue'' giving the original roster new sprites, though the back sprites were consistently left untouched. [[Pokémon Yellow]] would later update the front sprites once more, this time explicitly basing them after the Pokémon's appearance in the [[Pokémon_anime|animated series]]. In this game, the bulk of the issues stems from the [[List_of_Pokémon_by_color_palette_(Generation_I)|updated palettes]], which namely caused {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Mew}} to be visibly miscolored. | |||
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 namely affected the [[Johto]] Pokémon, and this time around the back sprites were also updated here and there. | 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.
