"On a concrete canvas I'll go making my mark
Armed with a spraycan soul..."

"Oh they say you can see your future
Inside a glass of water..."

"They were sitting on the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious..."

"Murder coming to get us
They're coming to get us..."

Hi-res

Get it? Super Bowl? Please laugh

Now, there are some exceptions where they went to Red and Blue, like Nidorina, Nidoqueen and Hitmonchan, but otherwise, Sugimori stuck to the original artwork he made from looking at the sprites and just re-modernized it.

So, in Gen 3, they decide to do the remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen. Remakes of the original Red and Green. So... they went with the original artwork they did for Red and Green, not Red and Blue, to remaster the artwork/poses.

Let's take a look at Pinsir and Charizard, for example. The original Red/Green artwork vs. the artwork from Red/Blue

Y'see the differences? Red and Green were the original artwork, and Red and Blue were the "updated/edgy" versions for everyone else.
