I fucking hate the ones from BW/XY.

No, Best Wishes' art was a mistake. The anime would probably look better if the colours were more muted like they were during the cel animation period.

XY already fixed this

>>33222107
XY had way different backgrounds than BW. Also arguably better than SM. XY's coloring and backgrounds were more natural whereas SM's look more cartoon-ish like the general art style.

The original series felt like it was a real world the characters were living in. The color palette made sense.

Past that its ugly as shit.

>>33222736
Not really. XY was better than the past seasons, but it still looked like shit in most situations. Obviously the animation was better in XY, but the background art and character designs of the Original Series is far superior.

>>33222044
>>33222057

What about SM?

>>33222044
I don't know, both have their charms
I think digital animation makes it easier to make things look good with low effort. If they put as much effort in when using digital animation as they did with traditional animation, it would look undeniably better.

Also, you are using very selective examples. A lot of the original series looked shit, they just put more effort into OPs, EDs and establishing shots.

>>33222957
All of the example he's posted so far are those landscape shots they play during movie credits.

>>33222902
The benefit of living in a first world nation is we don't have to worry about things like that and can afford to only worry about things that would be inconsequential to anyone in another country struggling to survive.

We don't have to worry about food and water, we don't have to worry about shelter or disease, we don't have to worry about being bombed by drones or shot by rebels, we don't even have to worry about reproduction because we have a booming population and we can afford to be low test betas who can't approach women without getting thrown out of society.

So the only thing we have to worry about in our comfortable lives are the variety of luxuries we can afford. A variety so massive that the only way we can choose which to enjoy is by splitting hairs and nit-picking.

I'll acknowledge that it's a "privelege" to be born in such a wealthy country that I did nothing to earn, but as Plato said, "life ain't fair, kid".

Whimsical and heartfelt. It feels real without trying to push against the walls of its own reeality. It knows what it is and what it's meant to be. Perfection.

This is all coming from someone who has never watched an episode in their life. By the time I began Pokemon, it was already Gen 4. So don't >nostalgiafag me

>>33223244
>started with gen 4
that's all we need to know

>>33223256
By the time I began showing interest in the franchise, not by the time I could read and write, you mongoloid. I'm probably older than the majority of the posters here. The only reason I got into Pokemon is because I run an 80s/90s comic book/game novelty store in Seattle, and we carry a lot of their shit.

XY was comfy because of the whole vibe and the mature vibe it had. SM feels like it's constantly on a sugar rush like it's OD'ing on pixy sticks and cotton candy while also having ADD. XY was more no-nonsense and down to earth in that sense.

This.
In my mind the pokémon world will always be the organic looking world of the first anime season. With painting backgrounds and pencil drawing.
Digital episodes make me want to puke, its like a shiny plastic toys world. I guess it suits the heavily commercialized merchandise-driven direction the series took, including the pokémon designs.

>>33223612

"XYfag" is contrarian-speak for "people that don't think the SM anime is the only good series".

Anime is made for kids.

Kids shows use more simple backgrounds and bright colours.
