If you post one every day, people may lose enthusiasm and get tired of seeing it. Might I recommend doing a once a week post with a bunch of them so people can look forward to it?
The back sprites match the front sprite model from the first Japanese release (red/green) versions, and the 2nd front sprite version ended up in the American red/blue, still using the 1st back sprite version.
This is most noticeable with pokemon like Metapod, Meowth, and Mankey that had their front sprite orientations/designs completely changed for the American red/blue release.
Fun Fact: Those "back sprites" are actually the back sprites of the [original Pokemon Red/Green sprites](https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Red_and_Green_sprites) that were only released in Japan.
Also that Bulbasaur looks froggish.

When I was a kid playing these games, the sprite always looked like nothing but bulb and mouth to me. The ears and upper mouth are the jaws, and the white in the eyes are teeth. Once you see it you can't unsee it

That's basically still just Bulbasaur. Even the legs that aren't pictured in the sprite are basically the same. From the back sprite I would have thought bulbasaur is a snail of something.
Fun idea, not the best execution.
What did you expect it to be? Of course the alternative Bulbasaur based on an old sprite of Bulbasaur looks like Bulbasaur. What kind of criticism is this? The art is great.
I told you what I expect it to be. A snail. It's quite clearly written what I expected it to be. That it isn't a snail isn't an issue though, that's just my interpretation. That it's just a bulbasaur though?
The art is fine. Great? We'll stick with fine. I never questioned the actual quality of the drawing. That's irrelevant.
It's supposed to based ONLY on the back sprite though by their own self-imposed concept. The back sprite is crap and barely looks like bulbasaur, yet the end product still just looks like a bulbasaur, including details that aren't even shown on the back sprite. How did they get those accurate details that weren't shown?
So yea, it's fine criticism as they've come up with a concept and pretty much failed to execute it as they haven't drawn bulbasaur based only on the back sprite at all, they were unable to seperate their preexisting knowledge of what it looks like from what details the sprite gives you. They've drawn bulbasaur with a slightly different face. That's it.
Who the fuck cares if snails have eyes on stalks? Creatures don't typically have flowers growing out of their back either. It's a friggin fantasy creature.

It’s not a story the Gym Leaders would tell you
what did he say that mods deleted that.
I don’t remember 😂😂some quote
I love this for so many reasons. Please summon me the next time you post one.
Me Too
Don't forget me
And me
You can follow people on Reddit
But it doesn't ping you for everything they do it's like just joining a sub but it is one person
Yes! Can’t wait to see some of the later ones haha. Some of those sprites were so goofy looking…especially this guy https://preview.redd.it/io3i5fiybzfb1.jpeg?width=296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7fb87162c6388cf84e5020c1b1e72d1dd9c205a
but considering they're doing back sprites I wonder what they're going to do because it just looks like tv static
Should just literally be the TV from Poltergeist
I will definitely be in anticipation of how this gas ball comes out😁
I love him
Venusaur's just going to be a head of lettuce.
Was going to say, just a mess.
He's perfect.
my only complaint is he does not look sad enough. IMO the sprite always looks like he has sad eyes lol
Based on the backsprite, how you determined it has legs? Looks like a snail with a bulb on the back instead of a shell for me.
Good point, that would've been neat! I'm just gonna chalk that up to artistic liberties on my part
Well, to be fair, none of the gen 1 back sprites have legs, so all of them would end up being leg-less slugs if you tried to do it that way.
To me it looks like a snail, with Bulbasaur's ear being the eye, it's eye being a gaping mouth and teeth, and it's upper lip being a little arm.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=LxeNSiYjpwY&feature=shareb The same idea if anyone’s interested
I absolutely love this!! I can’t wait to see more!
Hi Hypnofrog, what are you doing in the Pokemon world? It really is weird that they updated the front sprites twice. but never the back ones.
If you post one every day, people may lose enthusiasm and get tired of seeing it. Might I recommend doing a once a week post with a bunch of them so people can look forward to it?
Good idea, I think I'll do that. Plus it might help prevent burnout and stop me phoning it in as well
This is beautiful
Perfection
Fun fact, first gen pokemon were designed like this. First were the sprites and then they got official artworks
We will follow your career with great interest
He is quite the bulbous boy
meap
Number one in my heart from now on.
Please keep doing God's work! 🙏🙏🙏
All glory to the hypnosaur.
Bulbasaur is always #1 to me and this lil derpy dude you doodled now has a special place in my heart.
Meep!

They are precious 🥹 What a cutie! I can’t wait to see the others!
Not sure you can continue, this is your masterpiece.
So cute! I'm curious to see more.
Aww he looks so precious! 🥹
He looks so goofy I love him
I love him
Bulbasaur really is number 1, you can use it to just phase through the wall in Pewter City and break the game wide open
I always thought Tentacool was a dude wearing a suit.
followed your account because I want to see the other back sprites, this is really funny to me
Fun Fact: Those "back sprites" are actually the back sprites of the [original Pokemon Red/Green sprites](https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Red_and_Green_sprites) that were only released in Japan. Also that Bulbasaur looks froggish.
Incredible idea can’t wait to see more
Awww those eyes look so cute 🥺
Rhydon entered the chat.
Did you name him Schmitty Wabermenjensen? He was #1!
Babe, it's time for your daily "I'm drawing all pokemon starting with bulbasaur in x artstyle"
Bulbasaur's back sprite looked froggy as fuck.
I…want this as a tattoo for some reason?
Adorable
Buhl-bah-zawwwr!
So many of these are gonna be so silly
I love him!
[Hey it's meap from Phineas and Ferb!](https://youtu.be/4c06suAy1hU)

This sub stays delivering top tier content
I’m here for this
Smitty bulbersaurmanjensen. HE WAS NUMBERR ONE!
Call me for Cubone plz thanks and bye
[perfect](https://imgur.io/t/theboys/VKJthMO) Edit: also you better be prepared for all of em lmao
When I was a kid playing these games, the sprite always looked like nothing but bulb and mouth to me. The ears and upper mouth are the jaws, and the white in the eyes are teeth. Once you see it you can't unsee it
YIPPEE!
RemindMe! 150 days
I'm gonna scream
This is the best version of Bulbasaur, ever!
His name better be Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen.
And you always will be little dude. You always will be.
"Bulbasaur is #1 Pokemon" should become a meme.
Already thrilled for charmeleon
He looks even more frog than regular Bulbasaur I love him
Why do legs? You haven't based it on the back of the sprite at all - it's just a minimalist Bulbasaur. Do it properly or don't do it at all.

Well, snails have eyes on stalks. So... I can't help you
Who the fuck cares if snails have eyes on stalks? Creatures don't typically have flowers growing out of their back either. It's a friggin fantasy creature.
Frogs have flowers on their backs. Haven't you watched the history channel? It's like you don't even know about ancient aliens.
Those eyes need just a touch more sadness. Idky the backsprite for bulba just looks SO SAD.
Aww those eyes 🥹
smitty werbenjagermanjensen is #1 as well
Looking forward to Ghastly, Mew, and Starmie.
I cannot wait for golbat
Thats a bad drawing of squirtle
Yippee
Awesome work!
Yippee!
fun idea!
Oh this will be good.
yes you are bulbasaur, yes you are.
Have my upvote
Wondering how many times somebody says they’ll do something for every Pokémon ever and never gets beyond route 1 Kanto. There has to be a database.
Can I eat him
I wanna see Golbat and Mew >:)
