>>31825543Sprites, Artowrk, and Designs are all cherrypicked examples. It doesn't take into account that Pokemon aren't static images anymore. They actually animate and junk, which gives them plenty of personality. The artwork still looks great, and it's not even gonna matter unless you're busting out your old issues of Nintendo Power to go with your game. There were garbage designs in gen 1, and there are fantastic designs in the later gens. You can not convince me that Mr. Mime and Jynx are good designs. Even some of the examples given, like Geodude and Dewgong, are lame. Under-designed, really. All the generations are hit and miss. Also Cofagrigus is a fantastic looking pokemon. I don't even see what there is to complain about with natures and abilities. It helps give pokemon some flavor for casual play and helps deepen a pokemons possibilities for competitive.
