[[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.

 

[[Generation III]] is very likely when artwork was starting to be made before the sprites, leaving most of the inconsistencies to changed colors or slightly off-model sprites.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had round ears instead of triangular ones, while it had two leaves instead of four. This stayed the case all the way up to Generation II. The ''Red and Blue'' sprite also depicts Ivysaur as bipedal, something which was never seen again.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had round ears instead of triangular ones, while the ''Red and Green'' sprite shows a rather different flower design when it comes to the petals and stalk shape, all the while having only two leaves instead of four. Petal-wise, it started off only having five, which stayed the case all the way up to Generation IV.
