Top Ten Weirdest Pokémon Sprites in Red & Blue

- Every year, we like to look at Pokémon sprites from a different set of games. However, for the 10-year anniversary of this tradition, we are doing a reprise of our original list that started it all: the Sprites of Red and Blue Verisions. While these were actually the second time these Pokémon were put in sprite form, right behind the original Japanese Red and Green versions, these were the first internationally released games, when many people my age first saw these Pokémon in action. With it being an early part of the now massive franchise, there were many oddities with the artstyle of the sprites in this game, so we’re seeking out to find the weirdest of the bunch. Joining me for this look at the classics is Judgment Meter and AT from Software Agents HQ. Cameo by BittyBattyBunny during the Number 4 segment.

Thanks for having me back! Was a lot of fun to replay Red and Blue for this video! -- A.T.
Would love to see in the future! Also love the footage u got 😂
I've been in videos in the past! And I've been contributing to MTTL since about 2014. Double check those vide descriptions. I will return or contribute in some way. -- A.T. @@Khoobus
we like you better than negative X😢 please dont leave us with him!
I’m subed
Ur first
19:47 the colors changing in this segment make it scarier
12:43 Starmie representin' 12:58 Duplica looks very satisfied there
Of course she is. She was proven correct about it being Nakey.
Although I don't think it looks weird (in fact, it looks creapier, adding to the affect), I think Gastly should've gotten an honorable mention. Yellow redesigned Gastly to be an orb surrounded by gas. But in the original sprites, Gastly was just gas with a face without the "solid" center.
By just looking at the sprites you get the idea that the artists have been told to fill as much space of the pokemon "portrait square" as possible, with as little "unfilled" pixels as possible. Even if it meant to stretch and distort the body shapes of the pokemons original design
For Koffing: I'd love to assume it's just that the position of the Skull and bones are random, and the official sprites and battle sprites just happen to fit the best.
Maybe the position can even move, since its a gas based POKéMON?
HOT CHICKS 🐣 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
Snorlax is letting one rip.
I always imagined this Tentacruel sprite to be very evil, his front tentacle looks like hes pointing at his next victum and arms crossed gives me Frieza vibes. And I love mewtwos sprite. His towering posture is menacing.
i know pokemon conquest and the pokemon ranger series use sprites
as well as pokemon mystery dungeon
Bulbasaur is playing the harmonica
when you said 10 years ago, I was in my last year of High School when you guys started this, followed ever since keep it up.
Wow, that's a long time! Glad to hear you stuck around and thanks for watching!
I have always believed that Kingler's one claw is not giant; it's just in the foreground.
Some of these sprites only a Pokémon fan can love.
I always liked how derpy wigglytuff looked hahaha
Want me to ruin your childhood? Machoke and Machamp's briefs really are just a skin pattern, canonically, no Pokémon has clothes
First part is true, but arguably not the second.
Machoke and Machamp themselves still wear a belt, and Mimikyu wears a costume/disguise. Also, Leavanny make leaf clothing for their young.
@@berserkerciaran I totally forgot those parts
What about Togepi's eggshell?
Cubone wears a very fashionable hat.
Fashionable as in, it was fashioned from Cubone's mothers skull.
So hitmonchan
Sawk and Thro 😳
Judgment Meter is a strange kid.
I mean, tbh the sprites came first, and I don’t know wether the sprites we got (which japan got in blue) were made before or after the official artwork for all the pokemon was done.
Pretty sure Golbat's "height" is actually width and when its wings are wide open, still terrifying though
Face crotch..spaghetti..do-do-do! (In the theme of the hustle)- words/phrases now confirmed said best only by J.M. and no one else. 💛
this video was fun and cute. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane
Happy to see Ivysaur get some love
My favorite middle child
12:52 does that mean we're getting Top ten Rumiko Takahashi nVVde scenes with JM soon?
"Consider the claw" 3:08
Great 10 year anniversary, Mr Top 10!
Also top 10 winged characters in fighting games
6:47 Are we not counting the Duck Hunt Dog because there are two characters and only one is quadrupedal, or are we talking only Pokemon fighters?
Bulbasaur can totally walk on two legs. It's either an Ivysaur or Venusaur dex entry that states that as the plant gets larger it loses the ability to stand on its hind legs
for that reason bulbasaur's line is the goat
I think with koffing they wanted to do a different perspective, like with kingler, and they forgot about how they needed the poison symbol so they stuck it in the open space they now had
Does lickitung look like a Hubba Bubba gum tape container with some gum sticking out to anybody else, it’s even bubblegum pink
12:22 what's wrong with these sprites...?
Because i like to request and suggest a video on the top 10 mixed martial arts or MMA fighters in fighting games please
Machamp's belt and underwear indeed not clothes but a natural part of their bodies. So they're naked, like all other pokemon. (except, of course, pokemon who are wearing accessory).
Machoke's Red/Blue sprite always bugged me. It always looked a little like a bootleg sprite that somehow sneaked its way onto the GB cartridge.
I knew that the number one would be Golbat. 😂
I am geologist. I am the World.
Yoy oughta do a weirdest pokemon card video, some of these things are bizzarr
6:28 The sprite for Bulbasaur makes it look like it's holding a harmonica in its hands lol I've seen art of that before and it's funny and cute 😂
I think the idea for gen 1 Golbat was to give the move lick
Top 10 weirdest Pokemon evolutions
Golbat tongue with the slobber 😭 lmao
5:35 That Bulbasaur sprite looks so cute, like he's jumping to your waiting arms.☺
Okay... does Judgement Meter even play these games? some of her comments in this vider were a little annoying.
Judgment Meter plays Pokémon. Not as much in recent time just because there are other games that have her interest, but like me, she grew up with the series, so we have a lot of memories. What comments were annoying?
I was going to say, if Golbat wasn’t on this list, then this list isn’t valid.
Maybe Kingler's sprite from Red/Blue is mirrored to save game space.
Golbat looks silly, like "I'M GONNA LICK ALL YOUR ICE CONES!"
In red and blue Kadabra looks like his leg is a vacuum and he’s cleaning up
great episode MTT, picked out some on-point sprites. SoftwareAgetns and JM also provided great lines too
Why thank you!
I find it Ivysaur's sprite very ironic because of pokemon red and blue pokedex entry that says "When the bulb on its back grows large, it appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs."
Another thing about Machoke too is its RBY back sprite, the things on its head went down its back when in other cases it never has making it inaccurate
Lots of fun, I'm playing Blue again atm
what if Daria was a fighting game with Judgement Meter? come on, you know you wanna
Poor Judgment Meter feeling old 😂 I know how she feels
That's ok. We can be old together
indeed, we shall@@JudgmentMeter
I've been watching since the Yellow sprites video, but binged your entire back catalog when i discovered you, so I get a bit of nostalgia from this revisit
Seeing how the Bulbasaur line is based on frogs, Ivysaur standing on its hind legs like that isn't that weird of a concept.

I dunno about the belt but that dark "underwear" is absolutely just a pattern on the skin
3:12 That technique is also known as "forced perspective", and it was often used in older movies to create an illusion that the object/character was a lot bigger or smaller than it actually was.😉
I can't believe I missed this one! Darn notification bell..honestly JM is adorable as old lady and baby JM..no matter how many years pass, she'll always be the best!
I also always saw the bumps on Geodude's head as just his hair.
The reason Machoke looks the way he does is in the name!!! Machop is a portmontau of Macho and chop. Machamp is a portmontau of Macho and Champ..Machoke is doing just what his name would infer! Choking at being Macho! He goes to pose and gives a doofy high school yearbook shot! Also..his arms always made me uncomfortable..like..is he working out so hard the muscles are splitting through the skin? Like, he is litterally ripped? OH MY GOD! THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING, HUH?! THAT WHY HE HAS FOUR ARMS AS MACHAMP! His arms litterally split up from all the hard work and reformed into four! My GOD that's horrifying! 😨
Wondering if you never did weirder 3D Models in other games, Like Duelist of the Roses.
machoke look like it has a Hard time in the Toliet XD
Green version had the strangest sprites I am mean Mew is cursed looking 😱
Ivysaur was just in preload for a tackle, or just before taking off.
Yellow version was the best
Congrats for 10 years!
16:54 I still can't get over the Jigglypuff design from the Detective Pikachu movie. There, she was given fur, even though she is a "balloon Pokemon", and literally ALL other iterations depict her with a smooth, rubbery skin like she's supposed to be.😣🎈
Mewtwo flexing after he hit his one rep max
technically speaking, tentacruel did get grounded, that anime episode got delisted because of 9-11 and a japanese earthquake if im not mistaken
Good job, team. This has made my nostalgic for the Game Boy days.
Gen 1 Growlith always looked too real to me, as if it was a real dog
Make a video about the Top 10 most beautiful Pokemon Sprites in Pokemon Yellow! That one had the most beautiful sprites EVER!!!
Nice 10th anniversary! And since your next topic should be Halloween-related, why don't you make any of these topics in the future?

Manley doing the YMCA.
I like Judgement meter's input always neat seeing how normies react seeing our weird stuff.
Haha
@@JudgmentMeter see! she's doing it even now 😀
I always thought Koffin was upside down floating and because he's a trickster flipped his symbol right side up 😂 cause I associated him with sillyness as a kid since he's James
Whose your new friend? and I need to make more mttl ytp soon hha
BittyBattyBunny! They're an artist friend who streams and uploads craft videos. We had a conversation about Pokémon with clothing naturally, so I used a clip of that stream. Here's their channel: www.youtube.com/@BittyBattyBunny
I can actually provide some explanation on the Machop lines design it's based on a pro wrestler named Abdullah the butcher who is very popular in Japan he's a Canadian born performer billed as the madman from Sudan and is famous for his martial arts style wrestling and attire and a series of very deep grooves in his forehead
Dear mr top ten list , do u do request videos?
Top 10 weirdest Team Rocket mechs
I wish Pikachu could've kept his chubbiness and made him white with hints of yellow especially on the stomach.
I love this channel and I can't wait for more great videos ❤❤❤
You should do video on top 10 weirdest xenoblade monster designs.
18:26 If they were colored differently, those noodles could also be amaranth flowers. It would go really well with Tangela's grass typing.😉
21:36 It looks like he's squinting his eyes, like he's focusing his vision while searching for his next victim.😅
That Growlithe looks very real.
13:35 New theory: the egg in Chansey's pouch is actually the seventh missing Exeggcute!🤯🥚
he's just chilling there like "hey" he he ha
17:35 He also looks like he's trying to pull his own ears off, probably due to immense frustration or massive stress levels.
😅👂
17:00 It's most probably made of "pumice", a foamy volcanic rock that can hold noxious gases inside it, and can even float on water.🤔🌋🪨
Stop shaming pokemon for the way the lord god satoshi created them.
You missed Electrode. It has the same problem as Koffing AND it has eye whites!
Go back to making videos about fighting game stages with themes! I loved those videos
i Call my Tangela Creeby Pasta XD
What's lamentable is I eschewed Pokemon until u was an adult, and only then it was the GBC/GBA games, so you your could have told me a catterpie has vaporeon's face and I would have totally believed you
Haven't heard from at since top ten weirdest yugioh counterpart
Hi, I think I've been in a few others since that one? I recorded a few more recently. No idea when they're coming out, but I imagine in the next few months. I always love being involved with these videos, it's just a matter of finding a way to make it work within my availibility and MTTL's schedule or intent for the video. And we still do tertiary editing and provide game footage sometimes (read the descriptions and credits).
If you're looking for me and Sam, Software Agents has now moved to *this* channel due to problems with TH-cam. -- ATG
Hey, I'm playing pokemon Red right now.

11:09 That's clearly just some light reflecting from its yellow fur.😉
