>>53199043the art doesn't really annoy me, at least for what character portraits I've seen so far
overworld stuff is far above average but considering the average is just crap from gen3/gen4 then that's not as much of a compliment
the shiny sprites are fucking awful for most of them; they're either halfassed recolors, badly executed ideas, attempts at making pokemon look like other pokemon (there's a few shinies like braviary that are just fucking ho-oh bootlegs), etc.
at least a few of them are literal fucking hue shifts (buzzwole was the first one I tested it with, via
paint.net's hue/saturation sliders)
but this is a mostly blind playthrough so take it with a grain of salt
