Bring back 2D bros.
Why ruined? it looks the same
Feraligatr's not my bro, but that's just awful.
I am so sorry.

pls get your eyes checked friend
Oh my god they ruined tyranitar I'm still pissed about it
>>31563120
Typhlosion too
>>31563143
Eelektross got better, wtf are you on?
Friendly reminder that gen 5 was the ugliest generation, that sticking with sprites for so long was a mistake, and that every single model is better than every single sprite simply because they have animations corresponding to their actual actions. Even off-model models like Nidokings at least do something other than jiggle-tween all over the place like they did in gen 5.

>>31563217
who the fuck was talking about gen 5 lmao
>>31563143
I'd argue that butterfree and skarmory look fine, but the rest are garbage. Xatu used to be one of my favorites until that god damn model.
>>31563225
It's swimming through the air, aka. levitating, not stomping on the ground like an autist

fuck off kalosperm
>>31563120
2D is too much work and upkeep in the long term, so no.
3D was a mistake
>>31563120
The change from green to blue was a lot worse.

why?
It should be worth noting that the 3D models were based of of Sugimori's art from RSE, FRLG, DPPt, HGSS, so on, making them more on point with the art.
Agreed. Vintage Feraligatr is the best.
Reshiram/Zekrom looked better in Gen 5.
>>31563560
yes and they suffer that much more for it.
Totodile got it pretty bad too, which is a shame because it is probably my favorite 1st stage starter.
All that personality is gone and a fat sack of crap is left
Starmie's colours are too washed out
>>31563600
the fucked the totodile line completely, they all just look so fucking boring
>>31563120
He and:
>>31563560
wow that literally changes fucking nothing
theyre still shit looking no matter what reasoning behind it
I think Mienshao suffered from the shift to 3d. The model itself isn't bad, but its pose in 3d is awful compared to the 2d one. In Gen V, its pose was much more dynamic and even elegant in a way, while in 3d it just... stands there with its arms awkwardly held out in front of it. Plus, in Gen V, it turned to the side and looked out of the corner of its eye at the opponent, while in 3d it simply faces them like pretty much every other Pokemon. Really removes some of the uniqueness and personality.
The saddest thing about these 3D models is that they intentionally made them way too high res so they could use them for a couple generations. Enjoy gen 8 and 9 with the same shitty models.

>these select few things look better as a sprite than a model
>FUCKING NOSTALGIA FAGS
And they're the faggots.
>>31563120
it looks much better in 3d desu

i want you to get cancer

Ughhhh I cringe every time someone brings this up. I can't stand the thought of having to see these same ones for the next decade. Most of the models look fine but some are just terrible. Plus, it's going to be so incredibly boring seeing the same 800 models every single game.
Regardless of how people feel about the sprites, at least we got brand new ones every generation. That's most likely not going to happen with the models, at least not for Pokemon besides the starters, popular ones in the anime, and popular ones in competitive play.
>>31563957
Honestly the models for the most part look fine. The animations however are dogshit for the majority and knowing Game Freak that's not gonna change either.
>>31563744
the sad thing is I feel this happened with pretty much every pokemon. all just stand awkward and have no life or emotion to them really. which i think is inexcusable because the console 3d models were always done well and really portrayed each mons personlity. I know those models were done by another company..which makes this even worse
Do (((good))) sprites for Gen VI and Gen VII bros exist?
>>31563710
what's wrong with the blastoise model, he was my OG bro back in blue and I think the 3d model looks alright
>>31563758
Venusaur's model looks fucking hilarious, especially from behind
>>31564164
It looks much fatter than it should and won't be able to properly move it's limbs like that.
That's actually true for a lot of the bad models.
>>31563415
That darker color pallette works so much better
>>31563415
>>31563564
>>31563143
>that Xatu
>that fucking Tropius
>>31564203
good point, but at least it isn't as fat as the blue front sprite that makes no sense when you look at it from the back

God Haxorus is so terrible. He seemed like he had a very flexible neck in the gen V sprite now he looks retarded.
