If they take up more than one tile they can't go inside buildings. So like, Wailord can't.

I'll avoid being predictable and saying Espeon. .
Pretty much anything ive trained or is in my main teams. Just out of the personal feeling it has for some reason.
Palkia made me watch my back. But made me feel like the biggest guy in Goldenrod though. No overconsenpation here.

Which for some reason has a smaller walking sprite than Ho-Oh.

Anyway, I noticed a glitch when walking with Rusty in Olivine (Jasmine's traded Steelix.) If you walk in the direction away from the screen into a wall, go down one step, and face Rusty, he'll remain looking in the opposite direction. I'm not sure about other locations or pokemon, but I think the Pokemon has to take up at least two squares.

No no, they all do that, everywhere

My favorite has got to be Poliwag
it's just so cute bouncing along behind me
Worst is Machamp
Og, he looks like he's punched himself in the face 18 times with all 4 arms

Cuter isn't necessarily better in this case, at least for me (some sprites in HGSS received a weird pose and treatment, such as the fugly Jolteon). And the Platinum one is the same as that of DP. Overall, that's what happens when you try to imitate the Ken Sugimori art's pose (sans the tail) for a sprite.

Mew's best sprites would have to be the Yellow and FRLG's ones.

I don't know if this was because of my DSi, but Rhydon's walking sprite for some reason FLASHED all the time when I walked with it at night. It always bothered me and kind of hurt my eyes a bit if I saw it for too long.

Best: Croconaw, Growlithe

Worst: Pupitar (does it move by hopping around?), Horsea (how the heck is it supposed to move out of water?)

When I finally evolved my Magikarp, the size of the Gyarados walking sprite was deeply satisfying. I'm also very fond of Haunter's, but I'm biased towards Haunter in general.

I was rather disappointed by Raichu, he looks like he's leaning forwards a bit too much. Walking around with a Graveler as a female trainer, with his big raised hands and "'mma gonna getchoo!" expression is... disconcerting. Especially along with some of the things he says...

Best: Haunter
Worst: Arceus

I couldn't stand the entei sprite so i stuck him in my pokewalker until further notice.

I find the diglett one hilarious because I imagine him causing wreckage everywhere I walk.

Best: Typhlosion, Celebi, Pidgeot and Quagsire. Yep, they just look good. Especially Quagsire. He is epic!

My Rhyperior just looks aw-ful when walking around with it. It's like a yellow (shiny) walking rock, but then more ugly.

I think that Dratini's is pretty cute. Also, you have to love exeggcute, a pile of eggs jumping along behind you!

The best, for me, would definitely be my Furret. So... cute.

Anyways, worst is... I don't know... Gyarados looks disproportional.

Scyther is awesome: looks like it's trying to cut your hair while you're walking along.

Once totdile evolved once and twice he was butt ugly..

Cloyster and Steelix Haunter and ghastly look pretty good tho.. I havent really seen many more besides whats in my party.
