>>53536530The aesthetic hasn't changed, they're STILL working to the same rules Sugimori developed with Tajiri on what could or should constitute a pokémon. The artstyle did change though, because there's noting around today still honestly trying to push 90's design tropes, unless specifically trying to target oldfag 090's kids with nostalgia. I can see why you hate Pokémon now, it doesn't need to do that to still sell.
