Yeah, Seismitoad did improve a lot in the model transition. Most Pokemon did. Xatu and Glameow are the only two I can think of off the top of my head that got worse, and they fixed Glameow in SM.

get out
very few look good in comparison
>>31707226
The opposite, if anything.
Wait for it...
I'm still bitter over how weird they made Articuno look, especially in refresh.

This
>>31707045
>Xatu
Why does everyone think Xatu's is bad? Because it's flying? I didn't play any gen 6 game, did it look different in those?
>>31707362
Xatu looked like this since Gen II
>>31707362
>>31707390
Then it goes to this in Gen 6
It looks horrible, and being used to the pre-gen 6 sprites doesn't help it.
>>31707362
Because instead of 90° it's 45°. That's it.
>>31707113
Why did they dull its stomach. They dulled a lot of strong colors in so many others too.
>>31707362
because its not even using its wings but its hovering
>>31707621
They didn't though.
>>31707621
Technically it's more consistent with the official Sugimori art but it also looks worse. And I think the Sugimori art is intentionally washed out as a stylistic choice.

>>31707400
it's literally just HGSS Xatu seen from above
>>31707689
>>31707696
You have me there, but yeah it still looks much less appealing.
>>31707696
Agreed. Also, I would say what has consistently appeared in the games and the anime are more canon than the art at this point.
>>31707770
This. Just look at Gligar, really consistent.
from this...
>>31707856
to this?
>>31707204
Typhlosion's battle model should have its fire flaring out at all times like in the sprites, because it's in battle. Of course it would be actively burning its fire. Leave the fire out in Refresh when you wanna pet it or whatever.
Would that fix it? It would be enough for me.
>>31707919
its arms still suck ass.
Typlosion would benefit from being depicted on all fours more. Same with Feraligatr. This isn't relevant to a battle since height = intimidating but Typlosion is too bland already to have it be worse as a 24/7 biped
>>31706997
it needs an ability similar to Dhelmise, just to boost Poison attacks instead of Steel.
>>31707698
>>PSYCHIC lugia is flapping
implying a hovering Lugia would be any better
they should have kept the standing model and just make it unusable in sky battles (like pidgey) if they cant programm 2 models
>>31708022
Liquid Voice HA, or a signature physical water type move that has sound properties, based on its Pokedex entry
>>31707867
3d is actually way better
looks less stubby
