What went so right with the art style on these two games?

FR/LG look like shit. HG/SS is the best looking pair of games, warm colors and semi-3D pop-up book aesthetic gets me going

FireRed and LeafGreen look much better than Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald

I did not like the style of FRLG. No more edgy sprites like in the originals, no more trainers with whips.

HGSS look good though some sprites are goofy. I prefer the originals in sound and graphics, but not by much.

Are you talking about the box art or the games themselves?
