>>54509935>High standards for sprite workMy entire argument was that bad sprites aren't as bad as bad models, so talking about good sprites doesn't help your case.
>Washed outHave you ever heard someone describe the color pallet of a movie or TV show as washed out in a positive way?
>BoringThe poses of the 3D models starting in a boring pose wouldn't matter if they made dynamic movements in combat, but they don't. You're correct when you say Boring vs Exciting is a subjective call, but if I correct myself and say "Action Pose" and "Static Pose" then it becomes a lot less subjective. The sprites started in action poses because they weren't going to move very much, or not at all in old games. Starting in a static pose and then not moving very much means that it looks less dynamic, even if the amount of movement is the same.
>I prefer pokemon to be accurate to Sugimori's artworkYou must hate the 3D models, then. The neutral model poses look way less dynamic than even these calendar pictures, and the color is WAY more vibrant here.
