Development:Pokémon Black and White/Sprites

This is a sub-page of Development:Pokémon Black and White.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Include the sprites for the alternate forms of some of the Pokemon. Add notes to each of the Pokémon, and improve some of the notes to be more descriptive if possible. Possibly include references to these translated Nintendo Dream interviews for the relevant Pokémon? (Interview 1 / Interview 2 / Interview 3)

Overworld Sprites Grimsley was originally blonde?

Shiny Pokémon Sprites I know it's in the title, but do they really have to be all in black and white?

Pokémon Sprites

This page contains early battle sprites for various Pokémon during the development of Pokémon Black and White.

Note that the table is only documenting changes between sprites from each revision, with the exception of some cases where a final front/back is from a revision before the other final front/back. If there are two front/back sprites, the first is male and the second is female, as it appears that they would occasionally store earlier revisions of sprites in the "female" sprite slot.

Final #	Final Name (EN)	Final Name (JP)	Prototype Designs (by revision)					Final Design	Notes
494	Victini	ビクティニ Victini	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	--	r32596 (2010-4-30)	Uses what would become Victini's Shiny colors. Front sprite is facing opposite direction from final, has more ovular eyes, lacks dark ear interiors, and isn't performing its signature V sign. Back sprite has a jagged line between the ears and head instead of a fur tuft.
495	Snivy	ツタージャ Tsutarja	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Snivy initially started out looking more teal than green, somewhat resembling its shiny palette in the final game; r11074 fixed some small sprite errors, before r16109 changed the design to that of the finals, though the back sprite is unrefined. r21151 made the beige underside of Snivy green, before r42375 changed it back.
496	Servine	ジャノビー Janovy	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	--	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Servine initially started out looking more teal than green, just like Snivy, albeit looking far closer to its shiny palette in the final game. Initially got some shading and sprite corrections in its first revision, before being entirely overhauled into its final design.
497	Serperior	ジャローダ Jalorda	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	--	--	r26853 (2010-3-30)	Serperior started off much the same way as its pre-evolutions, though it initially did not have a sprite. Its first actual sprite lacks shading, and the second sprite, while using the final design, has a different pose for the tail. This would be changed a month later to the final sprite.
498	Tepig	ポカブ Pokabu	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	--	r42375 front / r26114 back (2010-6-19)	Tepig started off with a brown and orange color scheme, before being revised into its final design 2 months later; most changes after that were for refining the sprite.
499	Pignite	チャオブー Chaoboo	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	r26284 (2010-3-26)	r28340 front / r26284 back (2010-4-7)	Initially started off brown and yellow. Just like Emboar and Tepig, is revised into its final sprite 2 months later, with refining to follow. r26114 breaks its back sprite's palette, which is fixed the very next day.
500	Emboar	エンブオー Enbuoh	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	r26284 (2010-3-26)	r26773 (2010-3-28)	Started off much bulkier, with less detail and ashy, brown skin, with the flames reaching around its backside, like a collar. The next update would give Emboar its final design; most updates afterwards were to refine the sprite (and in the case of r22453 to r26114, making the sprite smaller). r26284 accidentally breaks the back sprite's palette (ironically, right as Pignite's is fixed), which is then fixed 2 days later.
501	Oshawott	ミジュマル Mijumaru	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16216 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	r42375 front / r22453 back (2010-6-19)	Early front sprite is identical to final save for different shading on the end of Oshawott's tail. Early back sprite has different shading and the bubble shapes on its body fur sit lower in relation to its head.
502	Dewott	フタチマル Futachimaru	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16216 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	r22453 front / r37255 back (2010-5-25)	Early front sprite has Dewott holding one of its scalchops. Initial back sprite has a different stance with raised arms and is missing its left whiskers. Next version of the back sprite has the body facing the opposite direction from the final.
503	Samurott	ダイケンキ Daikenki	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16216 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r35755 (2010-5-25)	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Samurott changed very little throughout development, with the only substantial change being minor adjustments to the brightness of its skin and shell armor. Humorously, the majority of changes to Samurott's back sprite, aside from its body getting bulkier in r35755, consist of making the left side of its mustache longer.
504	Patrat	ミネズミ Minezumi	r6461 (2009-6-30)	r6572 (2009-7-31)	r13709 (2009-12-7)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	r22453 front / r36066 back (2010-5-19)	Patrat initially had a yellow belly and cheeks, small white and black eyes, a V-shaped yellow stripe on its back, and was chubbier overall than the final. Oddly, r13709's back sprite wasn't updated to reflect the front sprite being redesigned but does have the new color palette applied, resulting in the stripe and tail tip being red. r22453's back sprite is similar to final, but is slightly larger.
505	Watchog	ミルホッグ Miruhog	r6461 (2009-6-30)	r6572 (2009-7-31)	r13709 (2009-12-7)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r42375 front / r22453 back (2010-6-19)	Watchog was initially brown with orange stripes, had fully red eyes, had an orange tail tip instead of white, and didn't cross its arms. r13709 updated the front sprite to the final design and broke the palette of its back sprite; r16109 gave it a new one that consisted of a flipped and slightly modified copy of the front sprite that's missing the strap-like stripes around its arms.
506	Lillipup	ヨーテリー Yorterrie	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	--	r26114 (2010-3-25)	Lillipup originally looked more similar to Herdier, as it was larger, had a small moustache, and sported a collar-like patch of blue fur around its neck. r22453's design is a rougher version of the final and has a shorter tail.
507	Herdier	ハーデリア Herderrie	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	r37255 (2010-5-25)	r26114 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19)	Herdier's initial design was less saturated, had a gray nose, and sported a less curved mustache. r22453 adds in the missing facial details, while r26114 ups the saturation but lacks one of its head fur tufts on the back sprite. r37255 adds the missing tuft and is identical to the final back sprite aside from lacking shading on its head.
508	Stoutland	ムーランド Mooland	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	r37255 (2010-5-25)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Stoutland initially had a solid cream-colored mustache, fully dark blue body fur, a red nose, and no claws. r26114's design is similar to the final aside from the facial fur being a bit darker. r37255 lightened the facial fur, but the back sprite lacks shading on most of it and Stoutland's head.
509	Purrloin	チョロネコ Choroneko	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	r42375 front / r21151 back (2010-6-19)	Initially a black-and-white cat with yellow sclera, then had more saturated colors compared to final. Spikes on back sprite persisted until r21151, which is identical to the final apart from one miscolored pixel on the front sprite. The fur colour in r11074 is similar to Purrloin's shiny palette in the final game, although this is more than likely a coincidence.
510	Liepard	レパルダス Lepardas	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	--	--	r42375 front / r21151 back (2010-6-19)	Initially had a bulkier panther-like design with black and red fur. r21151 matches the final except for the positioning and shading of its legs.
511	Pansage	ヤナップ Yanappu	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r23762 (2010-3-10)	--	r42375 front / r23762 back (2010-6-19)	Pansage originally had lime green skin, yellow ear interiors, a much larger mouth, pupils facing to the left than being centered, yellow markings on the back of its head in addition to the front, and three pointy tips on its tail instead of two like the final. This palette would later be repurposed as Pansage's shiny palette. Initially held its hands up to its ears, suggesting that Pansage originally represented "hear no evil" in the elemental monkey trio instead of "speak no evil"; in the final, the former is represented by Pansear. r23762's front sprite is similar to the final aside from how its facial features are oriented.
512	Simisage	ヤナッキー Yanakkie	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r23762 (2010-3-10)	--	r35148 (2010-5-14)	Initially had a fluffy tail tip, a more aggressive expression, round skin-colored ears, and a more detailed pompadour. r23762 back sprite lacks shading present on the final and has the arms held differently.
513	Pansear	バオップ Baoppu	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	--	r23762 (2010-3-10)	Pansear's red fur was initially orange, the interior of its ears were cream-colored instead of orange, and its head fur looked swirlier from behind. Initially held its hands up to its mouth, suggesting that Pansear originally represented "speak no evil" in the elemental monkey trio instead of "hear no evil"; in the final, the former is represented by Pansage.
514	Simisear	バオッキー Baokkie	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r23762 (2010-3-10)	r35148 (2010-5-14)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Simisear was originally very rotund and had one hair tuft instead of three, skin-colored inner ears, and a much larger tail than the final. Later sprites are much closer to the final aside from altered shading and positioning of the tail on the back sprite.
515	Panpour	ヒヤップ Hiyappu	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r23762 (2010-3-10)	--	--	r42375 front / r23762 back (2010-6-19)	Panpour originally had a much darker color scheme and a different eye shape. It also has skin-colored inner ears and the tip of its tail is more rounded than the final.
516	Simipour	ヒヤッキー Hiyakkie	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r23762 (2010-3-10)	r35148 (2010-5-14)	--	r23762 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19)	Simipour has a darker color scheme with straight hair of a more length, differently-shaped eyes and "dress", skin-colored inner ears, and is holding up its right hand in its front sprite instead of left. r23762 matches the final aside from the back sprite lacking shading, which is updated in the next revision.
517	Munna	ムンナ Munna	r6461 (2009-6-30)	--	--	--	--	r21151 (2010-2-22)	Is much larger than in the final.
518	Musharna	ムシャーナ Musharna	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	--	--	--	r21151 (2010-2-22)	Is much smaller than in the final.
519	Pidove	マメパト Mamepato	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	r13836 (2009-12-08)	--	--	r13836 front / r16109 back (2009-12-22)	Back sprite is identical to final save for being flipped, resulting in Pidove facing the wrong direction.
520	Tranquill	ハトーボー Hatoboh	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	--	--	--	r4236 front / r16109 back (2009-12-22)	Back sprite is facing the wrong direction; was initially between Petilil and Lilligant in the index before being placed between Pidove and Unfezant, signaling that it replaced the cut Lilligant middle stage.
521	Unfezant	ケンホロウ Kenhallow	r3780 (2009-5-19)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	--	r35755 (2010-5-18)	Back sprite is facing the wrong direction.
522	Blitzle	シママ Shimama	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16132 (2009-12-22)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	--	r21151 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19)	Started off in r10364 with a black and neon yellow design, with a smaller body and thinner legs. In later revisions it would have its body refined to use a dark purple and white color scheme and rounder, colorful eyes, until r21151 where its design mostly resembles final, with only a slight pattern change on the back sprite.
523	Zebstrika	ゼブライカ Zebraika	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	r6461 (2009-6-30)	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Starts off with a design that uses a smaller body and shorter legs, with proportions similar to Blitzle's. Its back sprite initially lacked patterns, but they were added in a later revision. In r10364, it would get a design which looks a bit closer to final, though still with the old proportions. In r21151, its design mostly resembles final, with only a change to the horns and the shading on its stripes.
524	Roggenrola	ダンゴロ Dangoro	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	--	r26114 (2010-3-25)	Roggenrola's body is dull green instead of the final's dark blue, while the hexagonal hole is orange instead of yellow. Overall body design is squattier.
525	Boldore	ガントル Gantle	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	--	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Boldore's body is the same dull green as Roggenrola in this version, while the crystals are orange instead of red. r26114's sprite is finalized except for being elevated upwards.
526	Gigalith	ギガイアス Gigaiath	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r26114 (2010-3-25)	--	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Gigalith's colors are desaturated compared to the final version, and the placement of facets on its body differs slightly.
527	Woobat	コロモリ Koromori	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	r16216 (2009-12-22)	--	--	r22453 (2010-2-26)	Earlier design has a purple color scheme, lacks the heart shape on its nose, and sports a pointier fang. r16216 version is identical to final save for minor shading differences.
528	Swoobat	ココロモリ Kokoromi	r6461 (2009-6-30)	r6572 (2009-7-31)	r16216 (2009-12-22)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Swoobat was initially dull purple with a white mane. Aside from minor tweaks to its anatomy and adding shading, design is basically finalized after the color change.
529	Drilbur	モグリュー Mogurew	r3780 (2009-5-19)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	--	--	--	r3780 front / r42375 back (2010-6-19)	Accidentally uses the broken front sprite of Unfezant as its back sprite, which is fixed the same month, 8 days later. Front sprite is the same as the final while its back sprite has its stripe on its left instead of the right.
530	Excadrill	ドリュウズ Doryuzu	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r31000 (2010-4-22)	r42375 (2010-6-19)	r43028 front / r42375 back (2010-6-24)	Originally was facing the right (similar to its official art) with violet skin with pink, less detailed stripes that are flipped compared to final, and the pupil is centered rather than close to its nose. r31000 was previously seen in the Oha Suta prerelease trailer and is midway between the initial design and final: body is violet, while stripes are red and have yet to be mirrored. Its final front sprite would be changed several revisions later than most other Generation V sprites, indicating this may have been a late change.
531	Audino	タブンネ Tabunne	r14538 (2009-12-15)	r24736 (2010-3-16)	r26853 (2010-3-30)	--	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Originally had duller colors, small brown eyes, and a smaller cream-colored tail instead of white. r26853 has slightly smaller sprites than previous versions and is somewhat wider than final.
532	Timburr	ドッコラー Dokkorer	r16741 (2010-1-08)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	--	--	r35148 (2010-5-14)	Timburr had a different design with yellow skin, a mohawk, and wearing a red bandana, along with holding a boulder instead of the log in the final.
533	Gurdurr	ドテッコツ Dotekkotsu	r16741 (2010-1-08)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	--	--	--	r35148 (2010-5-14)	Gurdurr had a completely different design with yellow skin, a beard, and brown biceps, and it holds a boulder instead of the I-beam girder in the final.
534	Conkeldurr	ローブシン Roubushin	r16741 (2010-1-08)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r35148 (2010-5-14)	--	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Conkeldurr had a completely different design with yellow skin, a white propeller mustache, and red-brown arms, and is on (or in) a rock, instead of holding two concrete pillars like in the final. r35148 looks closer to the final except for its eyes being redesigned and it being elevated upwards.
535	Tympole	オタマロ Otamaro	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	r35148 (2010-5-14)	Started off as a family of sea snail Pokémon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 depicts a transitory stage where Tympole's face and cheeks are more akin to the snail than the final version.
536	Palpitoad	ガマガル Gamagaru	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	--	--	r32596 (2010-4-30)	Started off as a family of sea snail Pokemon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 made it look more like a frog than a tadpole, with brown skin, gray body, red eyes similar to Seismitoad, buck teeth, and light blue rings.
537	Seismitoad	ガマゲロゲ Gamageroge	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r32596 (2010-4-30)	--	r37255 (2010-5-25)	Started off as a family of sea snail Pokemon before being replaced by the Tympole line. r16109 has a different design with brown skin, a gray belly, light blue rings, and black fingers. r32596 looks much finalized, minus the back sprite having less shading and the bumps on the back being black instead of blue.
538	Throh	ナゲキ Nageki	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	r26853 (2010-3-30)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Throh's first sprite has a horn on its head, X-shaped markings over its eyes instead of a T-shaped one between them, and its black belt is actually a tail wrapped around its body. Later sprites have increasingly saturated colors until arriving at the brightness of the final sprite.
539	Sawk	ダゲキ Dageki	r10364 (2009-10-26)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r21151 (2010-2-22)	r26853 (2010-3-30)	--	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Sawk started out as a recolor of the Throh sprite with a blue gi and horn. Later sprites have increasingly saturated colors, while its eyes and face marking were shifted upwards for the final sprite.
540	Sewaddle	クルミル Kurumiri	r3780 (2009-5-19)	--	--	--	--	r42375 front / r3780 back (2010-6-19)	Front sprite is nearly identical to final aside from missing its rearmost leg and having slightly different shading on its lower face.
541	Swadloon	クルマユ Kurumayu	r6461 (2009-6-30)	r11074 (2009-10-29)	r16109 (2009-12-22)	r17094 (2010-1-14)	r35755 (2010-5-18)	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Swadloon originally had white skin and eyes, its back sprite faces the left instead of the right in the final, and the V-shaped line on its cloak is off-center. Oddly, r35755 reverted its skin color to white after being changed to yellow in r17094.

The design was pretty much finalized when it was properly added, though the sprite did go through tweaks before being put on one leg.
555	Darmanitan	ヒヒダルマ Hihidaruma	r4052 (2009-5-26)	r4236 (2009-5-27)	r22453 (2010-2-26)	r26853 (2010-3-30)	r27532 (2010-3-31)	r42375 (2010-6-19)	Darmanitan originally had brighter colors and smaller wavy lines, along with its middle oval spot being centered compared to later revisions.
