I really dig this blog.

He sets out to critique the sprites of the original 151 pokemon as they appeared through out the various games. He updates rather slowly right now, but he's already a third of the way there.

The really cool part is that the articles usually branch out beyond just talking about the sprites and often become sort of mini-documentaries about the pokemon. He always has something to interesting to say even about Pokemon that are sort of underwhelming.

The actual commentary on the sprites is pretty excellent too. It's really interesting to read about how to characterize someone through only a static sprite.

I love this article about Diglett in particular.

Remember! Hyperbole is an exaggeration made for comedic effect, and shouldn't be taken literally!
