It was charming because gen 6 looks like shit. If you take any other 3d game from say the gamecube era like Custom Robo or Pokemon Collosseum you'd find equally charming areas. It's just GF's incompetence. But damn Gen 2 had a fine color palette I've gotta say. You really start to notice how dull everything is when it's on the same height once you remove the top-down aspect of the franchise. That's why XY looks so shit. They don't play enough with height and the routes themselves are also just less exciting.
>>35674887Gen 2 graphics weren't good. It was the color palette that's good. The art itself is terrible.
