Fallen Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 So we've been lucky enough as of late too see a few of the new Pokémon sprites in HeartGold and SoulSilver. I personally think that they look amazing. The Entei is a bit iffy, but the others look fantastic. What are your thoughts? Here are some examples:
wraith89 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 I liked the Gyarados sprite a lot. It looks more serpentine than it usually did. Somewhat like an angry Milotic... only without the beauty of Milotic.

DanteKoriyu Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 The Red Gyarados is fantastic, a little fat in the mid section, but nothing to really complain about. Entei is a little skinny in the neck, the left side of his hair fluff could be a bit wider. Love the pose though. Ho-Oh, I hate it. I was hoping it would be almost an exact copy of the original Gold sprite, only 4th gen style. -.- ugh, why do they always do this to Ho-Oh. Lugia looks alright. Its not the greatest sprite. I personally like its DPPt sprites better than this one, but its not terrible. Jagged Ear Pichu, its a Pichu with with with an ear cowlick... It is important to note though that all sprites before the official release should be seen as beta sprites that are possible to change. So don't get TOO attached.
Toffeuy Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Ho-Oh, I hate it. I was hoping it would be almost an exact copy of the original Gold sprite, only 4th gen style. -.- ugh, why do they always do this to Ho-Oh. As hard as it takes to criticise a pokemon, I have to agree with DanteKoriyu. It's head became anorexic!
Dimi Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Hmmm These are ok, but not the best. Lugia's leg looks a little funky. Entei has wierd shading but the pose is amazing. Ho-oh's wings are too big, its legs are to wide apart. Poor Ho-oh.
ImANinja Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Lugia looks funny I like Entei looks all serious, and ho-ho looks as ridiculous as he's always looked in my mind. Looks good if the rest of the game is like this Edit: On a second look, Entei looks like he's about ... funny too
InuYouki Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Not into the Entei one, but I LOVE the Lugia and Ho-oh ones. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I haven't liked their sprites this much since Gen II. I hope they stick with these.
Code_Geass Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 <3 the Lugia and Entei sprites. Ho-oh's legs are too wide apart DDD=
empoleonmikel Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 The Lugia sprite is cool for me, while the Ho-oh sprite looks like more of an "insigna" or something
InuYouki Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Here are some sprites I ripped. I put them all together with the ones Zmaster? ripped as well. *if Zmaster wasn't the one who ripped these let me know* I am in love with ALL the sprites since for the most part they are just remakes of the old G/S ones. Observe..... I mean there are differences, but they have the old flare of the originals. A lot of the sprites they have now, just aren't as good as the older ones IMO.
derrick Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 lugia looks cool its better then dimond and pearls i got tired of those and iam deffently going to have those three beast follow me there over world sprites look so cool!!
Mewtwo Ex Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 On first look Entei looked really well and in a pose fit for its character(at least from the movie). However the more i look at it the more i get disappointed: 1 The front right looks bigget than the one that is closer 2 Its sprite is like with the graphics from R/S/E. The pixels are made so that is looks like is had static. Lugia is really well made on the other hand compered to entei's. The sea guardian has the best so far i have seen. Not like the ones from the past generation. Ho-oh, another sprite taken from the other games with no significant changes implemented to it. R/S E FR/LG D/P PT and finally Gyarados - the sam as wraith said except for milotic part. It has the serpent look that it actually is supposed to have. I will skip some this time: E FR/LG D/P PT HG/SS
InuYouki Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 lol shiny Gyarados is pink in R/S/E I never noticed that. Sadly, while I like the new sprite I wish they would do more with Ho-oh. Lugia has had some diversity in poses, but poor Ho-oh is forever stuck in that pose :C
wraith89 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hmmm These are ok, but not the best. Lugia's leg looks a little funky.Entei has wierd shading but the pose is amazing. Ho-oh's wings are too big, its legs are to wide apart. Poor Ho-oh. Yeah, I agree with you about Entei. His shading is... a bit... weird. It doesn't look as shaggy as it is supposed to be though... it looks like it's solid. Ho-oh on the other hand... doesn't look like it has changed much at all. It looks so similar to its Gold sprite, its Advance sprite and its DPP sprite.
Fallen Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Ho-Oh is always in the same positions. I was hoping that they would give it a more agressive look, much to the extent of Lugia's sprite.
chycorita Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I think the sprite of 4th generation pokemon won't change...
Midnight Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 To be hoenst, Entei looks kinda distorted (in my opinion), but Lugia is perfect. I wonder what they'll do with 3rd/4th gen Pokémon, though, although they'll probably just reuse their Platinum sprites, like how FR/LG re-used R/S/E sprites.
DanteKoriyu Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Part of Raikou's sprite can be seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQRv6TA0QSg Also noteworthy...Lugia looks freaking amazing bursting out of the waterfall, I hope that is an in game cut scene that then transitions to the overworld sprites, but its likely just in the opening video.
alpark94 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I LOVED the new gyarados sprite, even more than Diamond's I really couldn't like platinum's gyarados too much...just didn't appeal to me as well As for the Ho oh Sprite, I don't know why I like it better...no not cause its my favorite uber No, in fact, they made EVERY legendary pokemon look waaay better than their DPPl counterparts Now just to see what they'll do with all the gym leaders, Red, Lance, and their themes If theyre going to screw anything up, I really hope its not any of them
DanteKoriyu Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 As for the Ho oh Sprite, I don't know why I like it better...no not cause its my favorite uber No, in fact, they made EVERY legendary pokemon look waaay better than their DPPl counterparts No offense, but you're blind. lol Ho-Oh now looks like a hideously posed Turkey-Peacock hybrid. The legs are way to spread out, one is slightly longer than the other even though they start at the same spot and perspective is roughly equal, and his head feather crest thing lost half his height. It's like Arceus was drunk when he made Ho-Oh's in Johto.
Endless Eden Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 everybody has there opinion >.> I think they all look fine
InuYouki Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 It's OK Telos, I must be blind too because I also like Ho-Oh's new sprite.
