>>40392910based. i feel like the entire shift to 3D animation was hastily handled and largely unnecessary. there is an over-abundance of games whose appeal comes from graphical boundaries pushed because the series relies on crisp, clear, and usually neat graphics to draw in a fanbase (call doodey comes to mind), but pokemon is NOT it. gen 5's wonky animations were the beginning of the end. gamefreak shouldve stuck to what they were good at.
