Hold on a second there.
The sprites were changed before translation.
There are multiple versions of Pokemon.
v1.0: Red & Green (Japan only, gray cartridges. Ugly sprites.)
v1.1: Blue (Japan only, limited edition, new engine, new sprites, etc.)
v1.2: Red & Blue (International release. Uses Blue Version Japan as its base engine, and not v1.0.)
v1.3: Yellow Version (More updates, new sprites, etc)
The sprites were changed for the Japanese blue version before the translated versions even existed.
(Remember the Unit 731 thread on tSR? We had to research it, ahahah)
