In terms of character design, a good number of them resemble [[PrehistoricAnimalAnalogue dinosaurs]] or {{Kaiju}} that have been scaled down. Others were designed to be clearly visible as tiny sprites on a monochromatic UsefulNotes/GameBoy and thus have no more then three or four shades. Many are rounded, almost spherical in some species. Quite a few of the Generation I monsters are iconic enough that they end up influencing the designs of Pokémon from later generations. [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Generation I]] introduced some of the patterns now taken for granted: [[GreenThumb Grass]]/[[PlayingWithFire Fire]]/[[MakingASplash Water]] starters, [[ComMons early game bugs, birds, and mammals]], an [[ShockAndAwe Electric]] [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter rodent]], [[FossilRevival part Rock fossils]], [[FireIceLightning a legendary trio]], [[InfinityMinusOneSword a 3-stage family with a late evolution and stats that are comparable to legendaries]], [[OlympusMons a bonus legendary with stats beyond anything in the game]], and a secret Pokémon [[DownloadableContent not obtainable via normal ways]] and with [[JackOfAllStats balanced]] [[MasterOfAll high stats]]; all originate from here.
