>>26582513>We got cool sprites in Gen V because they're extremely easy to make.And even then, every mon not from Gen V had it's sprites recycled from Gen IV. The backsprites are new, but they just flipped the sprite and redrew it from the back, which requires less effort, though still enough.
I even think some mons in Gen IV had the same sprites as their Gen III versions.
I get disliking the desaturation. From the edits people made recently, I think the old sprite colors would look a bit too eye searing, though that may just be to being used to the current colors. And one would imagine a professional games developer should be able to handle it.
All the models are fine, the real problem is they could be more animated. The actual attacks are frequently pretty cool. Even the actual idle animations can be great. M-Sableye doesn't have anything quite as cool as the old Stadium/Colosseum/PBR getting hit animation, but most of what it has now is great.
