I gotta admit, seeing Lopunny's original sprite definitely gives it a much more...curvy look than it probably should. BUT They have definitely caked it up even in 3D. >_>
All this talk of how sprites transitioned into models in the 3DS era makes me think about how many Pokémon cries were made so much less cool in that same transition for whatever reason.
While I personally didn't get to do the Pokedoku puzzle before I got a new one, my picks would have been: *Water type Johto: Lanturn *Water type Hoenn: Gotta go with Swampert *Water type final evolution: If you know me, it's got to be Primarina *Normal type Johto: Furret, because it's cute *Normal type Heonn: Slaking *Normal type final evolution: Porygon Z, which never got to appear in the anime because it's first stage was banned *Dual-type Johto: Ho-oh, partly because it has one of my favorite shiny color schemes *Dual-type Hoenn: Metagross has always been a favorite of mine *Dual-type final evolution: My pick is Revavroom, because I have been waiting to see a Pokemon that's poison/steel, and it also is one of the few things that can learn shift gear
To be honest, I can barely tell what I’m looking at with Relicanth’s sprite. The angle and all the lines on its face make it hard to discern what it is or what part of it is what, at least for me. The 3D model is a lot clearer since it’s clearly facing you and doing more realistic fish-like motions.
The Totodile evolution line is my favorite too! I honestly love his sprite more in Scarlet & Violet because of his cute smile! I am glad to know that there is more than just me that love this amazing Pokémon!
Sableye is one I can agree that has stayed consistently great sprite-wise. My favorite sableye model though is the one from the GameCube games. I love how in Colosseum EVERY POKEMON had a unique damage recoil and fainting animation, and even though they shortened the animations in XD they still look cool. When sableye gets hit it slides back across the field and upon stopping will cock its head and smile eerily before returning to its place. I would love to see a return of the damage recoil and fainting animations in the future.
As someone that had never seen Mega Lopunny before. The fact it just looks like a Lopunny wearing torn Stockings is sus. Devs putting the Freak in Gamefreak
My favourite pokemon is pikachu, yes sounds generic but yellow was my first game. And my favourite sprite of it is actually from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time Darkness and Sky, I love the sprites in that game, especially the profiles for their emotions in the text box. If I were to pick a main line game I love the yellow sprite but just wish it was properly coloured in since I prefer cubby pikachu because it makes him look cuter
..................Except that it's actually not. Being that it was one of the first pure ice type Pokemon, that's what I always remember it for. It just looks like a dark type
I really like Meowth's 2D sprites, especially the cute one from Red and the ones from Gen2 where it looks more playful. Where as the 3D sprite looks weird because of the flat head shape and lanky arms that just dangle around. At least it got better with it's regional forms where Alolan Meowth has its arms angled and Galarian Meowth becomes rounder, giving both more expression and character.
Already did it, but I didn't put Feraligatr cuz I already have it in my Dokudex, so I went with Remoraid instead, even though I knew Feraligatr was the answer you were trying to get.
In my opinion Alakazam had it rough for backsprites. It didn’t get good ones until the 4th Gen. While I would say the LeafGreen & FireRed ones were better for Gen 3, I never liked it’s look back then
My fav's best sprite is Yellows. I'm talking about Raticate. Silver is cool too. In 3d it's a bit awkward. It's hands are less menacing and it seems to be looking down. I'm looking forward to a Persian style rework down the line
Girafarig's Japanese name is also a palindrome - Ki Ri N Ri Ki - Kirinriki. "-n" is its own syllable in Japanese, sounding somewhere between the English terminal -n, the English terminal -m, and the English terminal -ng. I never knew about the alternate color Kecleons from e-Reader!! I knew about the Purple one from the anime but thought it was just anime weirdness. Cool!
damn so still none of the kecleon colors or shinies are the same as the second kecleon from the shop in treasure town in mystery dungeon sky/darkness/time
I mean for some flying types in 3D do you imagine them flapping their wings as they fly e.g. xatu & skaramary? Swellow's 3D model is the worst of this bunch lol
I have a question about Pokédoku. Namely the megas and gmaxs. Are the megas and gmaxs listed as from Kalos and Galar, or do they depend on what region the Pokémon is from?
4:12 And the back sprite lets you see it from the best angle
You damn right...
Kinda sus
I meant like without the big ears in the way or arms all bunched up 😭

Thicc
The unused gold and silver is my favorite. It have a very intimidating look.

The Klink line looks better and more accurate in 3D rather than in 2D
True!

That's Grovile girl

While I personally didn't get to do the Pokedoku puzzle before I got a new one, my picks would have been:
*Water type Johto: Lanturn
*Water type Hoenn: Gotta go with Swampert
*Water type final evolution: If you know me, it's got to be Primarina
*Normal type Johto: Furret, because it's cute
*Normal type Heonn: Slaking
*Normal type final evolution: Porygon Z, which never got to appear in the anime because it's first stage was banned
*Dual-type Johto: Ho-oh, partly because it has one of my favorite shiny color schemes
*Dual-type Hoenn: Metagross has always been a favorite of mine
*Dual-type final evolution: My pick is Revavroom, because I have been waiting to see a Pokemon that's poison/steel, and it also is one of the few things that can learn shift gear
Great choices! Also, puzzles from the last two weeks are archived, which you can view if you click the logo on the top left.
GSC: I choose Cyndaquil because it is the best Gen 2 starter
HGSS: I choose Feraligatr because *he's dummy thicc*
Your Pokedoku was so well made. Looking at the most common choices and seeing such low numbers is nice.
@5:02 I recently found a random shiny Spinarak in s/v too lol! What a coincidence
1:19 Stan Lee really rose to tell me to watch another video
Excelsior!

4:13 excuse me, better angle!?
*Best angle
Not gonna lie I expected it to be Water, Ground, Fire
And it to be all the gators
lmao 😂
The Totodile evolution line is my favorite too! I honestly love his sprite more in Scarlet & Violet because of his cute smile! I am glad to know that there is more than just me that love this amazing Pokémon!
I will forever be forced to see Sceptile or a leafless Grovyle on Xatu's chest from the Silver sprite.
Something I find strange about Girafarig's model is that it's the only one where the colors are more saturated than its previous sprite.
Interesting that the model’s colors kinda match the 2D art better than the sprites at the time it was put out.
counting a line as your fave mon is so based and real
Hitmonlee's Diamond and Pearl sprite made him look like he was dropped on his head when he was a baby :(
The "final evolution" entry looks misleading because it has three orbs with it so you think that it has to be a three stage.
Sableye is one I can agree that has stayed consistently great sprite-wise. My favorite sableye model though is the one from the GameCube games. I love how in Colosseum EVERY POKEMON had a unique damage recoil and fainting animation, and even though they shortened the animations in XD they still look cool.

That 3rd gen feraligatr sprite is the new Rick roll.
Feraligatr is my all time favorite too, I edited the all fours beta sprite and filled the colors in like the modern design

Ganefreak: Back sprites? No. Back shots? Well yes.
Feraligator used Double Cheeked Up
On a Sunday afternoon?
That all four image looks amazing
Gyarados makes me thalassophobic
I remember really liking sableye's animations in Colosseum, so much character in that li'l troublemaker!
No One’s talking about registeel’s japanese gen 4 sprite
If you ask where Registeel was in the 1930s and 1940s, he'll say he was on holiday
“Pokemon sprites that had it rough?”
Gen 4 Japanese registeel:
Should've used Glalie for Dual-Type from Hoenn. It's such a cool Ice-, Dark-Type Pokemon.
..................Except that it's actually not. Being that it was one of the first pure ice type Pokemon, that's what I always remember it for. It just looks like a dark type
Always seen that as the base for Feraligatrs tail. Guess my memory decieved me.
Feraligatr got that Gyatt!
I really like Meowth's 2D sprites, especially the cute one from Red and the ones from Gen2 where it looks more playful.

The best angle Lopunny❤
Already did it, but I didn't put Feraligatr cuz I already have it in my Dokudex, so I went with Remoraid instead, even though I knew Feraligatr was the answer you were trying to get.
idk what a pokedoku is but two of my fave pokemon mentioned in one video(kecleon, girafarig) is a big win in my book-
In my opinion Alakazam had it rough for backsprites. It didn’t get good ones until the 4th Gen. While I would say the LeafGreen & FireRed ones were better for Gen 3, I never liked it’s look back then
I thought you were calling Girafarig a goat at first and I was so confused lol
The first sentence was enough for a like. Feraligatr forever!
Gen 2 Feraligatr : such a badass
Gen 3 Feraligatr : such a badass
My fav's best sprite is Yellows. I'm talking about Raticate. Silver is cool too.
In 3d it's a bit awkward. It's hands are less menacing and it seems to be looking down. I'm looking forward to a Persian style rework down the line

I never knew about the alternate color Kecleons from e-Reader!! I knew about the Purple one from the anime but thought it was just anime weirdness. Cool!
The "kirin" part is the actual Japanese name for the giraffe, so it matches the word play in the English name.
I thought Feraligatr's back sprite also looked like that in GSC.
Great video, as always.
*me patiently waiting for a Milotic video review of my favorite Pokémon*
Holy shit! same!
Was “the witch” where the music played a reference to Re:Zero?
totodile is one of my favorite pokemon ever frfr
You can't use the same Pokémon for multiple answers. I tried using Lanturn for the 4 corners, but could not.
another totodile enjoyer?? automatic like
I guess with Gyarados it is a flying water type at least?
Best angle.
BBL Feraligatr
I can't believe this
Feraligatr got that gyatt 😭💀🙏
Interesting video on sprites
damn so still none of the kecleon colors or shinies are the same as the second kecleon from the shop in treasure town in mystery dungeon sky/darkness/time
Whoever did Charizard's RSE sprite should have been fired
Cofagrigus' eyes in 3D are way too small if you compare them to its official art or the gen V sprite
I mean for some flying types in 3D do you imagine them flapping their wings as they fly e.g. xatu & skaramary? Swellow's 3D model is the worst of this bunch lol
Hgss typhlosion is top tier
Another awesome video!
