>>54974360>WHY does it look uglyThe camera distorts the sprites.
The animations distort the sprites because they were done with lazy tweening rather than editing the frames by hand.
The animations themselves look unnatural and robotic because 99% of them are just the Pokemon nonsensically rotating all their limbs like a spastic retard.
The sprites aren't scaled consistently in battle so the back sprites look horribly pixelated 99% of the time.
Slapping sprites on 3D environment in general just looks incoherent compared to just using entirely sprites or entirely models.
