This is a glitch in Pokémon Red and Blue (non-occurring in Pokémon Yellow), which allows the player to temporarily replace a menu sprite on the party menu with a special orientation of Red's sprite.

Description

After landing from Surf via the menu on (at least) Cinnabar Island, menu sprites 0 (generic monster), 1 (Poké Ball) and 2 (fossil) may sometimes momentarily convert to Red's sprite facing down (0), up (1) and left (2) respectively.
