I actually really like that sprite, and its one of the best in Gen I as far as I'm concerned. It actually shows off the main unique feature of Raticate well (its teeth) and its eyes look pretty fierce.
What is this monster.
I've never been able to see it as anything but a hypnotizing disc. When I first heard people reference it as a lollipop, I had to look hard to see it.I've heard both, but I went with Bulbapedia's answer for lack of any better credible source. They think it's supposed to be some "carrot & stick" metaphor.
Although honestly I always thought it looked like a paddleball toy then anything else. I guess they got to do something to pass the time standing in one spot waiting for you to walk by.
That's actually one of the best sprites from R/B actually.

Well, that is worse. But something about the first Raticate sprite makes it look so horrible... it is one of the best of R/B though.That's actually one of the best sprites from R/B actually.
Especially when compared to THIS monstrosity.

I have always liked Raticate and I love that sprite and that model.Well, that is worse. But something about the first Raticate sprite makes it look so horrible... it is one of the best of R/B though.
Maybe it's just the design, but to me Raticate just doesn't look good as a model either.

Yeah, I agree. Raticate's design is bland, but it seems to work out for it a majority of the time. That one was the worst I could find, which, even then, it's OK I guess.
I think in terms of sprites Raticate's actually had a pretty good time. It's supposed to be the mutated, monstrous rat and all of them work for that.
Something bizarre to note tho is that it's DPPt/Gen 5 sprite is almost identical to it's japanese Red/Green one.
I'm actually pretty fond of that Grimer sprite... it looks really cute.Grimer from MD2 looks... surprised

You can't expect high-quality boots from a bootmaker if you give him horrible material. Slowbro had to be dopey, I understand that. Sadly, whenever they tried making him look like so, he either looked:I always thought the original design of Slowbro was stupid.
First of all, the "Shellder" on his tail doesn't even look like a Shellder. It just looks like a shell with anime-eyes.
And why is it holding it like that?
It looks like he's literally licking the Shellder.
When I was really young I didn't notice the shell's eyes, so I thought he was just eating a cake. In fact, one of my friends described him as "a dumb alligator with a cake for a tail."I always thought the original design of Slowbro was stupid.

Oh my gosh you are soo right!When I was really young I didn't notice the shell's eyes, so I thought he was just eating a cake. In fact, one of my friends described him as "a dumb alligator with a cake for a tail."
This guy looks like a prevo of Pawniard..
This one is so bad it's good. Such pose.
My thoughts were more "can't find the bathroom."This guy looks like a prevo of Pawniard..
I love that one. It looks like he's thinking: *takes sunglasses of* "yep, you just lost to me and there's nothing you can do about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
YEEEEEAH!
