Front and back sprites have the same dimensions in each gen, with Gen 3 being 64x64 pixels and Gen 4 being 80x80 pixels. On a similar note, Gen 5 sprites are 96x96.

The sprites got bigger in gen 5? I didn't know this.
Yeah. Most of the sprites can still fit in 80x80, which was probably intentional to better match the style of Gen 4 since they reused a good number of sprites for pre-existing Pokemon. But there are a few like Conkeldurr, Reuniclus, and most of the Unova legendaries that needed a bit more space.
