official ranking of every meowth sprite on bulbapedia

mysterypearl:

Very Soft, Very Catlike, this Little Boy is doing a nya and i cannot deny he brings a smile to my face

not bad. he looks Very Clever and we see the first signs of meowth’s personality becoming evident. not particularly my favourite, but it’s good.

this one is Nice Enough, i like it, he is very friendly looking and fun. a Fun Boy.

WONDERFUL.. he is laughing!!! a Snickering, Giggling friend. this is one of the best.

Very Good! this one isn’t as telling of his personality, but it really captures the Essence Of The Modern Meowth, and i appreciate it. 

this is an improvement in the expression of meowth’s personality! his floppy feet are Good and Present in this fun sprite

nothing really added here, i like that his mouth is wider, it’s more like the anime, and i like the classical nya pose. very Average. 

this one builds on the heartgold/soulsilver sprite, now he is nya-ing with both paws. i like the battle-ready stance he appears in, this Small Boy looks Ready To Fight

why. why does he look so empty. he is a Slate, he is a Void, i want to rescue him. there is a lack of personality in here that i feel could really be added by a handful of adjustments even in his most neutral pose. overall, unexciting to look at. nonetheless, a Friend
