Ah yes, the classic Hitmonchan sprite, otherwise known as "Togekiss peeking out from behind Doduo taking a ****"


However, in all honesty, I remember thinking these sprites were pretty ridiculous back in the day, but a number of them hold up.

I love all the differences between the JPN and US sprites.  Some are upgrades, others are just funny.

But yeah, a some do hold up pretty well.

Machamp's green sprite is hilarious. I like to think he's reaching out for a really big ham sandwhich.
