Your argument about artstyle—the disproportionate, slightly chibi style—is more compelling, though. I can agree they would have designed Dialga and Palkia differently if they made them in Gen 2, but I'm arguing they aren't impossible to recreate on the Game Boy while keeping all the details in.
Have an animated devamp, this is from Prism.
