User:Amiosi/List of design discrepancies: Difference between revisions

<!--Only list discrepancies in this section if it's the Pokémon's first appearance, or if the discrepancy has been featured on official artwork.-->

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had a stalk, round ears instead of triangular ones, and two leaves instead of four. Red and Blue changed the ears, while Yellow removed the stalk and changed the leaf count. The two-leaf design returned in Generation II, though only on the front sprites. The Generation I back sprite features a tail. The two-leaf design was reflected in its Red and Blue artwork.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had spots, round ears instead of triangular ones, two leaves instead of four, and five petals instead of six. Red and Blue changed the ears and leaf count, while Yellow removed the spots and changed the petal count. The petal count was not carried forward after this, however, as it only appeared on the Silver front sprite before Diamond and Pearl. The Generation I back sprite features a tail, while the Generation II, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald back sprites feature a rounder petal shape. The five-petal design was reflected in its Red and Blue artwork.

| style="text-align:left" | Back sprite features a two-part crest.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had four toes on each foot instead of five, and its head crest descended into a mullet. The Red, Green, and Blue front sprites feature a four-part crest. The crest oddities were removed in Yellow, but the toe count remained unchanged until Diamond and Pearl.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had five fingers on each hand instead of four. Note that the last finger on Aerodactyl is its wing finger, and extends to its wing tip. It also had red eyes instead of green ones, as seen in its Generation I artwork. The four-fingered design is accurate to actual {{wp|pterosaur}}s.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had a longer and thinner neck, as well as less dense chest plumage. It also had red eyes, as well as a blue beak and feet. The beak and feet color is present in its Red and Green artwork, while the red eyes are present in all of its Generation I artwork. Its beak and feet were changed in Diamond and Pearl, while the eyes were changed on the HeartGold and SoulSilver front sprite only.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had red sclera. The front sprite was updated in Crystal, but the back sprite was left unchanged.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had a mirrored body pattern, as well as a different crest and eyes. Most of these traits were changed in Crystal, but the mirrored body pattern remained on the front sprite.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had two toes on each foot and four fingers on each hand. Starting in Ruby and Sapphire, it has three toes on each foot and five fingers on each hand, with its footprint {{DL|List of Pokémon by footprint|Changes|updated accordingly}}. The Japanese Gold and Silver front sprites depict the underside of the tail as white instead of blue.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had white eyes instead of red ones.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had an upside-down tail that is upside-down.

| style="text-align:left" | Originally had golden eyes instead of white ones.
