Description It's better when it's in COLOR!  Now what you see here is about as good as it got with the original Pokémon sprites from "Pocket Monsters: Red Version" and "Green Version", in Japan.  Well, I'm sure there was indecision with some designs (and there still was in "Blue Version"), as well as limited ways to make a certain design 8-bit and in only 4 colors.  Speaking of which I colored this with the Light Blue palette, seen in "Pokémon: Yellow Version".  Original sprite design © 1996, Nintendo and Game Freak.

For some reason Charizard's sprite is awful in the Japanese and somewhat good in the American version and Blastoise's is awful in the American version while the Japanese version is kinda perfect the way it is. I don't understand why change what ain't broke?

Yeah, I mean I know there's only so many they could do it on the Game Boy, but you're right, they had Blastoise perfect the first time, weird.

Yeah, if anything was learned out of Gen 1 it's to do the concept art first, then the sprites.
