>>35305736Chunsoft's a bit weird. With how pretty Shiren, Danganronpa, or their other VNs look, you'd expect them to be better with 2D, but then you have their new 3D games like Zanki Zero that also look very nice.
I think it comes down to games like Gates and Super being rushjobs, the 3DS's limitations, and the poor animations and expressions. Compare quadrupeds like Manectric and Vulpix to their RT/Explorers counterparts. In RT/Explorers, they have their own flair and animations that set them apart, but in Super, they both do that awkward head bobbing animation. Mons with a 3D modeled mouth never change their mouth expression either, only their eyes. So now Manectric's even more robotic looking.
And the cutscenes don't help matters at all. See: Gates Hydreigon rescue and Super Tree of Life jump. They look so out of place and silly, despite being serious moments in-universe.
